     This Amendment No. 5 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 19, 2010, as amended by those certain Amendment Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 to the Schedule TO filed with the SEC on each of February 25, 2010, March 9, 2010, March 11, 2010, and March 18, 2010, respectively (as so amended, the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Atlas Acquisition Corp., a Colorado corporation (“Acquisition Corp.”) and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Haemonetics Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (“Haemonetics”), to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Shares”), of Global Med Technologies, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Global Med”), at a purchase price of $1.22 per Common Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon, less any applicable withholding taxes, and to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Global Med’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Preferred Shares,” and together with the Common Shares, the “Shares”), at a purchase price of $1,694.44 per Preferred Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon, less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated February 19, 2010, as amended and supplemented (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal for the Preferred Shares and the Letter of Transmittal for the Common Shares (each, as the context requires, the “Letter of Transmittal”), which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer.” This Amendment is being filed on behalf of Acquisition Corp. and Haemonetics.

     The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including Annex I thereto, the Letter of Transmittal for the Common Shares and the Letter of Transmittal for the Preferred Shares, copies of which are filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A), (a)(1)(B) and (a)(1)(C) thereto, respectively, is incorporated by reference in the answers to Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of the Schedule TO and this Amendment, as applicable, and is supplemented by the information specifically provided in the Schedule TO and this Amendment.

     Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule TO. You should read this Amendment together with the Schedule TO and the information incorporated therein. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase or in the Schedule TO.

ITEMS 1 THROUGH 9 AND 11.

          Items 1 through 9 and 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

          “At 12:00 midnight, Boston, Massachusetts time, on March 24, 2010, the Offer expired. Based on the information provided by the Depositary to Haemonetics, as of the expiration of the Offer, 3,960 Preferred Shares and approximately 31,428,730 Common Shares had been tendered in and not withdrawn from the Offer. These tendered Shares constituted 100% of the Preferred Shares outstanding and approximately 82% of the Common Shares outstanding. Acquisition Corp. accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offer.

          Effective as of 9:00 a.m., Boston, Massachusetts time, on March 25, 2010, Haemonetics and Acquisition Corp. commenced a subsequent offering period for all remaining untendered Common Shares. The subsequent offering period will expire at 12:00 midnight, Boston, Massachusetts time, on Wednesday, March 31, 2010, unless extended. Any such extension will be followed by a public announcement no later than 9:00 a.m., Boston, Massachusetts time, on the next business day after the subsequent offering period is scheduled to expire.

          The same $1.22 per share Common Stock Offer Price, net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, offered in the initial offering period will be paid during the subsequent offering period. Acquisition Corp. will immediately accept for payment all Shares validly tendered during the subsequent offering period, and payment will be made promptly after acceptance, in accordance with the terms of the Offer. Procedures for tendering Shares during the subsequent offering period are the same as during the initial offering period, except that (1) Shares cannot be delivered by the guaranteed delivery procedure and (2) pursuant to Rule 14d-7(a)(2) promulgated under the Exchange Act, Shares tendered during the subsequent offering period may not be

withdrawn. Shares validly tendered during the initial offering period may not be withdrawn during the subsequent offering period.

          Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Haemonetics’ acquisition of Global Med will be completed through the Merger of Acquisition Corp. with and into Global Med. Following the Merger, Global Med will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Haemonetics and the Common Shares will no longer be eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, all remaining publicly held Common Shares (other than Common Shares held by holders who validly exercise and perfect their dissenters’ rights under applicable Colorado law) will be acquired for $1.22 per Common Share, net to the holder in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, in the Merger. At the end of the subsequent offering period, Acquisition Corp. may exercise the Top-Up Option to purchase Top-Up Option Shares from Global Med so that Acquisition Corp. will own more than 90% of the outstanding Common Shares. If Acquisition Corp. becomes the owner of more than 90% of the outstanding Common Shares, during the subsequent offering period and/or through the exercise of the Top-Up Option, the Merger will be completed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Colorado law that authorize the completion of the Merger without a vote or meeting of the stockholders of Global Med.

          On March 25, 2010, Haemonetics and Acquisition Corp. issued a press release announcing the expiration of the Offer and the commencement of the subsequent offering period. The full text of the press release is set forth as Exhibit (a)(5)(C) hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.”

Haemonetics Completes Tender Offer for Global Med Shares
and Commences Subsequent Offering Period

Braintree, MA, March 25, 2010 – Haemonetics Corporation (NYSE:HAE) today announced the completion of its cash tender offer, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Atlas Acquisition Corp., for Global Med Technologies, Inc.’s (OTCBB:GLOB) outstanding shares of common stock, at $1.22 per share, and preferred stock, at $1,694.44 per share. The tender offer expired at 12:00 midnight, Boston, Massachusetts time, on Wednesday, March 24, 2010.

The depositary for the tender offer has advised Haemonetics that, as of the expiration of the tender offer, 3,960 shares of preferred stock and approximately 31,428,730 shares of common stock had been tendered in and not withdrawn from the offer. These tendered shares constituted 100% of the outstanding shares of preferred stock and approximately 82% of the outstanding shares of common stock. All validly tendered shares have been accepted for payment in accordance with the terms of the tender offer.

Atlas Acquisition Corp. will provide a subsequent offering period which will expire at 12:00 midnight, Boston, Massachusetts time, on Wednesday, March 31, 2010, unless extended. During this subsequent offering period, Global Med stockholders who did not previously tender their shares of common stock in the offer may do so and will promptly receive the same $1.22 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, as was paid during the initial offering period. The subsequent offering period enables Global Med stockholders who did not tender their shares to participate in the offer and receive the offer price on an expedited basis rather than waiting to receive payment until the completion of the merger described below. No shares tendered in the offer may be withdrawn during the subsequent offering period.

Haemonetics’ acquisition of Global Med will be completed following the expiration of the subsequent offering period through a merger of Atlas Acquisition Corp. into Global Med. In the merger, all outstanding shares of Global Med’s common stock (other than shares as to which dissenters’ rights are perfected under Colorado law) will be converted into the right to receive the same $1.22 per share as paid in the tender offer. At the end of the subsequent offering period, Atlas Acquisition Corp. may exercise its top-up option so Haemonetics can complete its acquisition of Global Med by way of a “short form” merger, without a vote of Global Med’s stockholders.

Additional Information

This press release is for informational purposes only and is not an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell any securities. The solicitation and the offer to buy shares of Global Med’s capital stock during the subsequent offering period is being made pursuant to a tender offer statement on Schedule TO, including an offer to purchase and other related materials, as amended, that Atlas Acquisition Corp. has filed with the SEC. Global Med has filed a solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 and amendments thereto.
