     This Amendment No. 6 (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, 4 and 5 to the Schedule TO filed with the SEC on each of February 25, 2010, March 9, 2010, March 11, 2010, March 18, 2010, and March 25, 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 31, 2010, the subsequent offering period expired and was not extended, marking the conclusion of the Offer. Based on the information provided by the Depositary to Haemonetics, as of the expiration of the subsequent offering period, 3,960 Preferred Shares and approximately 34,398,052 Common Shares had been tendered in and not withdrawn from the Offer (including the Shares tendered during the subsequent offering period). These tendered Shares constituted 100% of the Preferred Shares outstanding and approximately 89.7% of the Common Shares outstanding. Acquisition Corp. has accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Acquisition Corp. will exercise the Top-Up Option to purchase directly from Global Med 1,036,776 Common Shares. These Common Shares represent the number of Common Shares that, when added to the number of Common Shares owned by Acquisition Corp. as of immediately prior to the exercise of the Top-Up Option, constitute one share more than 90% of the outstanding Common Shares, taking into account those Common Shares issued upon the exercise of the Top-Up Option, at a price per share equal to the Common Stock Offer Price.

     Haemonetics will complete its acquisition of Global Med by merging Acquisition Corp. with and into Global Med by way of a “short form” merger, without a vote or meeting of the stockholders of Global Med in accordance with the applicable provisions of Colorado law. In the Merger, all remaining publicly-held Common Shares (other than Common Shares as to which dissenters’ rights are validly exercised and perfected under applicable Colorado law) will be converted into the right to receive $1.22 per Common Share, net to the holder in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, representing the same price paid in the Offer. Under Colorado law, Haemonetics is required to give ten days’ prior notice of the Merger to the remaining

stockholders of Global Med, and expects to complete the Merger promptly thereafter. 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.

     On April 1, 2010, Haemonetics and Acquisition Corp. issued a press release announcing the conclusion of the Offer. The full text of the press release is set forth as Exhibit (a)(5)(D) hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.”

Haemonetics Successfully Concludes Tender Offer for Global Med Shares

Braintree, MA, April 1, 2010 — Haemonetics Corporation (NYSE:HAE) today announced the expiration of the subsequent offering period for the cash tender offer by 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 subsequent offering period expired at 12:00 midnight, Boston, Massachusetts time, on March 31, 2010.

The depositary for the tender offer has advised Haemonetics that, as of the expiration of the subsequent offering period, 3,960 shares of preferred stock and approximately 34,398,052 shares of common stock had been validly tendered (including those tendered during the subsequent offering period). These tendered shares constituted 100% of the outstanding shares of preferred stock and approximately 89.7% of the outstanding shares of common stock. Haemonetics has accepted for payment all shares tendered in the offer.

Haemonetics intends to complete the acquisition of Global Med by merging Atlas Acquisition Corp. into Global Med without a vote of Global Med’s stockholders by way of a “short form” merger. In order to accomplish the merger, Atlas Acquisition Corp. will exercise its “top-up” option pursuant to the previously announced merger agreement, which permits it to purchase additional shares of Global Med’s common stock directly from Global Med at a price of $1.22 per share. In the merger, all remaining publicly-held shares of Global Med’s common stock (other than shares as to which dissenters’ rights are validly exercised and perfected under applicable Colorado law) will be converted into the right to receive the same $1.22 per share paid in the tender offer. Following the merger, Global Med will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Haemonetics, and Global Med’s common stock will no longer be eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board.

If such risks or uncertainties materialize or such assumptions prove incorrect, the results of Haemonetics and its consolidated subsidiaries could differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and assumptions. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including the ability to complete the merger and other transactions contemplated by the above-described merger agreement, and the related timing of such events; the expected benefits and costs of the transaction; management plans relating to the transaction; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations, including the execution of integration plans; any statements of expectation or belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.
