HONG KONG, China, April 29, 2015 — China Cord Blood Corporation (NYSE: CO) (“CCBC” or the “Company”), China’s leading provider of cord blood collection, laboratory testing, hematopoietic stem cell processing and stem cell storage services, today announced that in response to the non-binding proposal letter dated April 27, 2015 received by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) from Golden Meditech Holdings Limited (“Golden Meditech”), relating to the acquisition of all of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Company not already owned by Golden Meditech in a “going private” transaction, the Board has formed a special committee of independent directors who are not affiliated with Golden Meditech (the “Special Committee”) to evaluate such proposal.  The Special Committee consists of Mr. Mark D. Chen, Dr. Ken Lu and Ms. Jennifer J. Weng, each of whom currently serves as an independent director on the Board, with Mr. Chen serving as the chair of the Special Committee.
