Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned hereby tenders to Atlas Acquisition Corp., a Colorado corporation (“Acquisition Corp.”) and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Haemonetics Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (“Haemonetics”), the above described shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), and the certificates representing the Shares (the “Certificates”) of Global Med Technologies, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Global Med”), at a price of $1,694.44 per share, net to the seller in cash, for each outstanding Share, less any required withholding of taxes and without the payment of interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated February 19, 2010 (the “Offer to Purchase”), receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and in this Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal,” which, together with the Offer to Purchase, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, constitutes the “Offer”).

Subject to, and effective upon, acceptance for payment of the Shares tendered herewith in accordance with the terms of the Offer, the undersigned hereby sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, Acquisition Corp. all right, title and interest in and to all of the Shares that are being tendered hereby, and irrevocably appoints the Depositary the true and lawful agent, attorney-in-fact and proxy of the undersigned with respect to such Shares, with full power of substitution (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an interest) to (a) deliver such Certificates or transfer ownership of such Shares on the account books maintained by the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, together, in either case, with appropriate evidences of transfer, to the Depositary for the account of Acquisition Corp., (b) present such Shares for transfer on the books of Global Med and (c) receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such Shares, all in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer.

The undersigned irrevocably appoints designees of Acquisition Corp. as such undersigned’s agents, attorneys-in-fact and proxies, with full power of substitution, to the full extent of the undersigned’s rights with respect to the Shares tendered by the undersigned and accepted for payment by Acquisition Corp. All such powers of attorney and proxies shall be considered irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Such appointment will be effective when, and only to the extent that, Acquisition Corp. accepts such Shares for payment. Upon such acceptance for payment, all prior powers of attorney, proxies and consents given by the undersigned with respect to such Shares will be revoked without further action, and no subsequent powers of attorney or proxies may be given nor any subsequent written consents executed (and, if given or executed, will not be deemed effective). The designees of Acquisition Corp. will, with respect to the Shares for which such appointment is effective, be empowered to exercise all voting and other rights of the undersigned as they in their sole discretion may deem proper at any annual or special meeting of Global Med stockholders or any adjournment or postponement thereof, by written consent in lieu of any such meeting or otherwise. Acquisition Corp. reserves the right to require that, in order for the Shares to be deemed validly tendered, immediately upon Acquisition Corp.’s acceptance of such Shares, Acquisition Corp. must be able to exercise full voting rights with respect to such Shares, including, without limitation, voting at any meeting of stockholders.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that (a) the undersigned has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the undersigned’s Shares tendered hereby and (b) when the Shares are accepted for payment by Acquisition Corp., Acquisition Corp. will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title to the Shares, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances, and the same will not be subject to any adverse claim and will not have been transferred to Acquisition Corp. in violation of any contractual or other restriction on the transfer thereof. The undersigned, upon request, will execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Depositary or Acquisition Corp. to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the Shares tendered hereby.

All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall not be affected by and shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned and any obligation of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.

INSTRUCTIONS

Forming Part of the Terms and Conditions of the Offer

1. Guarantee of Signatures.  No signature guarantee is required on this Letter of Transmittal if: (a) this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares (which term, for purposes of this document, shall include any participant in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of the Shares) tendered herewith, unless such holder(s) has completed either the box entitled “Special Payment Instructions” or the box entitled “Special Delivery Instructions” or (b) such Shares are tendered for the account of a firm which is a bank, broker, dealer, credit union, savings association or other entity which is a member in good standing of a recognized Medallion Program approved by the Securities Transfer Association Inc., including the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”), the Stock Exchange Medallion Program (“SEMP”) and the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program (“MSP”), or any other “eligible guarantor institution” (as defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) (each of the foregoing, an “Eligible Institution”). In all other cases, all signatures on this Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. See Instruction 5 of this Letter of Transmittal.

2. Requirements of Tender.  This Letter of Transmittal is to be completed by stockholders either if Certificates are to be forwarded herewith or, unless an Agent’s Message is utilized, if tenders are to be made pursuant to the procedure for tender by book-entry transfer set forth in Section 2 — “Procedures for Tendering Shares” of the Offer to Purchase. Certificates evidencing tendered Shares, or timely confirmation (a “Book-Entry Confirmation”) of a book-entry transfer of Shares into the Depositary’s account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, as well as this Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, with any required signature guarantees, or an Agent’s Message in connection with a book-entry transfer, and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the Depositary at one of its addresses set forth herein on or prior to the Expiration Date. Stockholders whose Certificates are not immediately available or who cannot deliver their Certificates and all other required documents to the Depositary on or prior to the Expiration Date or who cannot complete the procedure for delivery by book-entry transfer on a timely basis may tender their Shares by properly completing and duly executing a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedure set forth in Section 2 — “Procedures for Tendering Shares” of the Offer to Purchase. Pursuant to such procedure: (a) such tender must be made by or through an Eligible Institution; (b) a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, substantially in the form made available by Acquisition Corp., must be received by the Depositary on or prior to the Expiration Date; and (c) the Certificates (or a Book-Entry Confirmation) representing all tendered Shares in proper form for transfer, in each case, together with this Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, with any required signature guarantees (or, in the case of a book-entry delivery, an Agent’s Message) and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the Depositary within three OTC Bulletin Board trading days after the date of execution of such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. If Certificates are forwarded separately in multiple deliveries to the Depositary, a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal must accompany each such delivery.

THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, CERTIFICATES AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING DELIVERY THROUGH THE BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER FACILITY, IS AT THE OPTION AND RISK OF THE TENDERING STOCKHOLDER, AND THE DELIVERY WILL BE DEEMED MADE ONLY WHEN ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY (INCLUDING, IN THE CASE OF BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER, BY BOOK-ENTRY CONFIRMATION). IF DELIVERY IS BY MAIL, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU USE REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED AND THAT YOU PROPERLY INSURE YOUR PACKAGE. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY. NO ALTERNATIVE, CONDITIONAL OR CONTINGENT TENDERS WILL BE ACCEPTED. ALL TENDERING STOCKHOLDERS, BY EXECUTION OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL (IF BY AN ELIGIBLE INSTITUTION), WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO RECEIVE ANY NOTICE OF THE ACCEPTANCE OF THEIR SHARES FOR PAYMENT.

3. Inadequate Space.  If the space provided herein is inadequate, the Certificate numbers and/or the number of Shares and any other required information should be listed on a separate signed schedule attached hereto.

4. Partial Tenders (Not Applicable to Stockholders Who Tender by Book-Entry Transfer).  If fewer than all of the Shares evidenced by any Certificate submitted are to be tendered, fill in the number of Shares which are to be tendered in the box entitled “Number of Shares Tendered” in the “Description of Shares Tendered.” In such cases, new Certificates for the Shares that were evidenced by your old Certificates, but were not tendered by you, will be sent to you, unless otherwise provided in the appropriate box on this Letter of Transmittal, as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date.

VOLUNTARY CORPORATE ACTION COY: GLOB

7

All Shares represented by Certificates delivered to the Depositary will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise indicated.

5. Signatures on Letter of Transmittal, Stock Powers and Endorsements.  If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares tendered hereby, the signature(s) must correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of the Certificate(s) without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever.

If any of the Shares tendered hereby are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign this Letter of Transmittal. If any of the tendered Shares are registered in different names on several Certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal as there are different registrations of Certificates.

If this Letter of Transmittal or any Certificates or stock powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and proper evidence satisfactory to Acquisition Corp. of their authority so to act must be submitted with this Letter of Transmittal.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares listed and transmitted hereby, no endorsements of Certificates or separate stock powers are required unless payment is to be made to, or Certificates for Shares not tendered or not purchased are to be issued in the name of, a person other than the registered holder(s). In such latter case, signatures on such Certificates or stock powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. See Instruction 1 of this Letter of Transmittal.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder(s) of the Certificate(s) listed, the Certificate(s) must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appear on the Certificate(s). Signatures on such Certificates or stock powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. See Instruction 1 of this Letter of Transmittal.

6. Stock Transfer Taxes.  The holders tendering their Shares will pay any stock transfer taxes with respect to the transfer and sale of Shares to Acquisition Corp. or its order pursuant to the Offer. If payment is to be made to, or if Certificates for Shares not tendered or accepted for payment are to be registered in the name of, any person other than the registered holder(s), or if tendered Certificates are registered in the name of any person other than the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal, such person shall provide all documents reasonably required to evidence such transfer from the registered holder and shall provide evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid.

7. Special Payment and Delivery Instructions.  If a check is to be issued in the name of, and/or Certificates for Shares not tendered or not accepted for payment are to be issued or returned to, a person other than the signer of this Letter of Transmittal or if a check and/or such Certificates are to be returned to a person other than the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal or to an address other than that shown in this Letter of Transmittal, the appropriate boxes on this Letter of Transmittal must be completed. A Book-Entry Stockholder may request that Shares not accepted for payment be credited to such account maintained at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility as such Book-Entry Stockholder may designate under “Special Payment Instructions.” If no such instructions are given, such Shares not accepted for payment will be returned by crediting the account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility designated above.

8. Waiver of Conditions.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) and the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the conditions of the Offer may be waived by Acquisition Corp. at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion.

9. (a) Backup Federal Income Tax Withholding and Form W-9.  Under the “backup withholding” provisions of U.S. federal tax law, withholding of 28% of the payments in respect of surrendered Shares may be required. To prevent backup withholding, each surrendering United States stockholder must either (a) complete and sign the Form W-9 included in this Letter of Transmittal, and provide the holder’s correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) and certify, under penalties of perjury, that the TIN provided is correct, that the holder is a U.S. person (or a U.S. resident alien) and that (i) the stockholder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) that the stockholder is subject to backup withholding as a result of failure to report all interest or dividends or (ii) the IRS has notified the stockholder that the stockholder is no longer subject to backup withholding; or (b) provide an adequate basis for exemption.

The TIN provided must match the name given to avoid backup withholding. For individuals, the TIN is the individual’s social security number (“SSN”). However, if the stockholder is a resident alien and does not have and is not

VOLUNTARY CORPORATE ACTION COY: GLOB

8

eligible to get an SSN, such stockholder’s TIN is such stockholder’s IRS individual taxpayer identification number (“ITIN”). If the stockholder is a sole proprietor and has an employer identification number (“EIN”), such stockholder may enter either its SSN or EIN; however, the IRS prefers that such stockholder use its SSN. If the stockholder is a single-owner limited liability company (“LLC”) that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for tax purposes, enter the owner’s SSN (or EIN, if it has one). For stockholders that are other entities (including an LLC treated as a partnership or corporation for tax purposes), enter the stockholder’s EIN. For further information concerning backup withholding (including how to obtain a TIN if you do not have one and how to complete the Form W-9 if the Certificates are held in more than one name), visit the IRS website at http://www.irs.gov/.

Certain holders of Shares (including, among others, all corporations and certain foreign persons) are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. Exempt persons should indicate their exempt status on the Form W-9. If the Depositary is not provided with the correct TIN or an adequate basis for exemption, the stockholder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the IRS and backup withholding at a rate of 28%.

If payment for surrendered Shares is to be made pursuant to Special Payment Instructions and/or Special Delivery Instructions to a person other than the surrendering stockholder, backup withholding will apply unless such other person, rather than the surrendering stockholder, complies with the procedures described above to avoid backup withholding.

Failure to complete the Form W-9 will not, by itself, cause the Shares to be deemed invalidly surrendered, but may require the Depositary to withhold 28% of the amount of any payments for such Certificates. Backup withholding is not an additional federal income tax. Rather, the federal income tax liability of a person subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained, provided the appropriate returns are filed with the IRS.

(b) Form W-8 for Non-U.S. Persons.  A non-U.S. individual or entity may qualify as an exempt recipient by submitting the appropriate IRS Form W-8, properly completed and signed under penalty of perjury, attesting to the stockholder’s exempt status. Such non-U.S. Holders must complete, execute and submit the appropriate IRS Form W-8. IRS Forms W-8 are available from the IRS’s web site, at http://www.irs.gov/. Please consult your accountant or tax advisor for further guidance as to the proper IRS Form W-8 to complete and return to claim exemption from backup withholding.

10. Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies.  Questions or requests for assistance may be directed to the Information Agent at the address and telephone numbers set forth on the last page of this Letter of Transmittal. Additional copies of the Offer to Purchase, this Letter of Transmittal, and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery relating to the Shares also may be obtained from the Information Agent or from brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or other nominees.

11. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates.  If any Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, the stockholder should promptly notify Global Med by calling (303) 238-2000. The stockholder then will be instructed as to the steps that must be taken in order to replace the Certificate. This Letter of Transmittal and related documents cannot be processed until the procedures for replacing lost or destroyed Certificates have been followed.

12. Irregularities.  All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt), and acceptance for exchange of any tender of Shares will be determined by Acquisition Corp. in its sole discretion, and its determinations shall be final and binding. Acquisition Corp. reserves the absolute right to reject any and all tenders of Shares that it determines are not in proper form or the acceptance of or payment for which may, in the opinion of Acquisition Corp.’s counsel, be unlawful. Acquisition Corp. also reserves the absolute right to waive certain conditions to the Offer described in Section 14 — “Certain Conditions of the Offer” of the Offer to Purchase, or any defect or irregularity in the tender of any Shares. No tender of Shares will be deemed to be properly made until all defects and irregularities in tenders of shares have been cured or waived. None of Haemonetics, Acquisition Corp., the Information Agent, the Depositary or any other person is or will be obligated to give notice of any defects or irregularities in the tender of Shares and none of them will incur any liability for failure to give any such notice. Acquisition Corp.’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer, including the Letter of Transmittal, will be final and binding.

General Instructions

Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise noted.

Purpose of Form

A person who is required to file an information return with the IRS must obtain your correct taxpayer identification number (TIN) to report, for example, income paid to you, real estate transactions, mortgage interest you paid, acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, or contributions you made to an IRA.

Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN to the person requesting it (the requester) and, when applicable, to:

1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued),

2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or

3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners’ share of effectively connected income.

Note. If a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester’s form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9.

Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are:

• An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien,

• A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States,

• An estate (other than a foreign estate), or

• A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).

Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax on any foreign partners’ share of income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, a partnership is required to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid withholding on your share of partnership income.

The person who gives Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable share of net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States is in the following cases:

• The U.S. owner of a disregarded entity and not the entity,

Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2007)

• The U.S. grantor or other owner of a grantor trust and not the trust, and

• The U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust.

Foreign person. If you are a foreign person, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 (see Publication 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities).

Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a “saving clause.” Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes.

If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items:

1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien.

2. The treaty article addressing the income.

3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions.

4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax.

5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article.

Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption.

If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity not subject to backup withholding, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8.

What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS 28% of such payments. This is called “backup withholding.” Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include interest, tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding.

You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return.

Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if:

1. You do not furnish your TIN to the requester,

2. You do not certify your TIN when required (see the Part II instructions on page 3 for details),

3. The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN,

4. The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only), or

5. You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only).

Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding. See the instructions below and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9.

Also see Special rules for partnerships on page 1.

Penalties

Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty.

Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.

Misuse of TINs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

Part I. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)

Enter your TIN in the appropriate box. If you are a resident alien and you do not have and are not eligible to get an SSN, your TIN is your IRS individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Enter it in the social security number box. If you do not have an ITIN, see How to get a TIN below.

If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN. However, the IRS prefers that you use your SSN.

If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner (see Limited liability company (LLC) on page 2), enter the owner’s SSN (or EIN, if the owner has one). Do not enter the disregarded entity’s EIN. If the LLC is classified as a corporation or partnership, enter the entity’s EIN.

Note. See the chart on page 4 for further clarification of name and TIN combinations.

How to get a TIN. If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately. To apply for an SSN, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local Social Security Administration office or get this form online at www.ssa.gov. You may also get this form by calling 1-800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/businesses and clicking on Employer Identification Number (EIN) under Starting a Business. You can get Forms W-7 and SS-4 from the IRS by visiting www.irs.gov or by calling 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676).

If you are asked to complete Form W-9 but do not have a TIN, write “Applied For” in the space for the TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, generally you will have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester before you are subject to backup withholding on payments. The 60-day rule does not apply to other types of payments. You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until you provide your TIN to the requester.

Note. Entering “Applied For” means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon.

Caution: A disregarded domestic entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8.

Part II. Certification

To establish to the withholding agent that you are a U.S. person, or resident alien, sign Form W-9. You may be requested to sign by the withholding agent even if items 1, 4, and 5 below indicate otherwise.

For a joint account, only the person whose TIN is shown in Part I should sign (when required). Exempt payees, see Exempt Payee on page 2.

Signature requirements. Complete the certification as indicated in 1 through 5 below.

1. Interest, dividend, and barter exchange accounts opened before 1984 and broker accounts considered active during 1983. You must give your correct TIN, but you do not have to sign the certification.

2. Interest, dividend, broker, and barter exchange accounts opened after 1983 and broker accounts considered inactive during 1983. You must sign the certification or backup withholding will apply. If you are subject to backup withholding and you are merely providing your correct TIN to the requester, you must cross out item 2 in the certification before signing the form.

Secure Your Tax Records from Identity Theft

Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information such as your name, social security number (SSN), or other identifying information, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. An identity thief may use your SSN to get a job or may file a tax return using your SSN to receive a refund.

To reduce your risk:

• Protect your SSN,

• Ensure your employer is protecting your SSN, and

• Be careful when choosing a tax preparer.

Call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 if you think your identity has been used inappropriately for tax purposes.

Victims of identity theft who are experiencing economic harm or a system problem, or are seeking help in resolving tax problems that have not been resolved through normal channels, may be eligible for Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) assistance. You can reach TAS by calling the TAS toll-free case intake line at 1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD 1-800-829-4059.

Protect yourself from suspicious emails or phishing schemes. Phishing is the creation and use of email and websites designed to mimic legitimate business emails and websites. The most common act is sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft.

The IRS does not initiate contacts with taxpayers via emails. Also, the IRS does not request personal detailed information through email or ask taxpayers for the PIN numbers, passwords, or similar secret access information for their credit card, bank, or other financial accounts.

If you receive an unsolicited email claiming to be from the IRS, forward this message to phishing@irs.gov. You may also report misuse of the IRS name, logo, or other IRS personal property to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1-800-366-4484. You can forward suspicious emails to the Federal Trade Commission at: spam@uce.gov or contact them at www.consumer.gov/idtheft or 1-877-I DTHEFT(438-4338).

Visit the IRS website at www.irs.gov to learn more about identity theft and how to reduce your risk.

Privacy Act Notice

Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code requires you to provide your correct TIN to persons who must file information returns with the IRS to report interest, dividends, and certain other income paid to you, mortgage interest you paid, the acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, or contributions you made to an IRA, or Archer MSA or HSA. The IRS uses the numbers for identification purposes and to help verify the accuracy of your tax return. The IRS may also provide this information to the Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation, and to cities, states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. possessions to carry out their tax laws. We may also disclose this information to other countries under a tax treaty, to federal and state agencies to enforce federal nontax criminal laws, or to federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to combat terrorism.

You must provide your TIN whether or not you are required to file a tax return. Payers must generally withhold 28% of taxable interest, dividend, and certain other payments to a payee who does not give a TIN to a payer. Certain penalties may also apply.
