On November 5, 2015, Golden Meditech entered into a non-binding framework purchase agreement (the “Framework Agreement”) with Nanjing Xinjiekou.

Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, Nanjing Xinjiekou also intends to provide assistance to Golden Meditech in its proposed “going private” transaction involving the Company (as described in Golden Meditech’s preliminary non-binding proposal letter, dated April 27, 2015, to the board of directors of the Company), including potentially providing financing for such transaction.

The total purchase price for the Proposed Sale (the “Total Purchase Price”) is subject to Golden Meditech and Nanjing Xinjiekou reaching agreement on the valuation of the Minimum Sale Shares (the “Expected Valuation”), which the parties intend will not be less than RMB7.255 billion. Nanjing Xinjiekou intends to settle (i) RMB4.0 billion of the Total Purchase Price through the issuance of new shares of Nanjing Xinjiekou (the “Settlement Shares”) to Golden Meditech and (ii) the remaining RMB3.255 billion of the Total Purchase Price in cash (equivalent to approximately RMB41.4 per Minimum Sale Share in cash).

The Proposed Sale and agreement on the Expected Valuation by Nanjing Xinjiekou are conditional upon (i) Nanjing Xinjiekou acquiring the Minimum Sale Shares upon completion of the proposed “going private” transaction of the Company; (ii) Golden Meditech undertaking not to transfer the Settlement Shares for a period of 36 months; (iii) Golden Meditech taking effective measures to ensure that the Company’s management do not resign in a 36 months’ period; and (iv) Golden Meditech providing a conditional undertaking to Nanjing Xinjiekou with respect to the Company achieving certain profit targets in fiscal years 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively, including providing compensation to Nanjing Xinjiekou with respect to any profit shortfall.

The Proposed Sale and agreement on the Expected Valuation by Golden Meditech are conditional upon (i) Nanjing Xinjiekou provided financing to Golden Meditech in respect of Golden Meditech’s proposed “going private” transaction of the Company if requested by Golden Meditech and as agreed by

the parties; (ii) neither the appraised value of the Minimum Sale Shares nor the Total Purchase Price will be less than RMB7.255 billion; (iii) the market value of the Settlement Shares at the relevant price determination date will not be less than RMB4.0 billion and RMB3.255 billion of the Total Purchase Price will be settled in cash; (iv) Nanjing Xinjiekou maintains its listing status on the Shanghai Stock Exchange; and (v) Nanjing Xinjiekou will not change the existing business strategy or business model of the Company for a period of 36 months from the date of completion of the Proposed Sale.

In addition to the Minimum Sale Shares, Nanjing Xinjiekou also intends to acquire the remaining 34.9% of the Ordinary Shares owned by other shareholders of the Company. Nanjing Xinjiekou proposes a preliminary valuation of RMB1.745 billion for such shares, representing a valuation of approximately RMB41.4 per Ordinary Share.

Golden Meditech agrees not to enter into any discussions or negotiations or any transaction with any other party other than Nanjing Xinjiekou in respect of the sale of the Minimum Sale Shares during the term of the Framework Agreement, which is initially six months, but may be extended by mutual agreement between the parties.
