HONG
KONG, June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Cord
Blood Corporation (NYSE: CO, "GCBC" or the "Company"), China's leading provider of cord blood
collection, laboratory testing, hematopoietic stem cell processing
and stem cell storage services, noticed that on June 3, 2022 Blue Ocean Structure Investment
Company Limited (the "Petitioner") issued a notice which purported
to convene an extraordinary general meeting of the Company
("Purported EGM") which is due to be held on June 16, 2022.
The Company's position is that this EGM has not been validly
convened. The Purported EGM was convened without the requisite
threshold of 75% having been met.
The Company considers it inappropriate to comment on the issues
tabled for the Purported EGM at this juncture. These issues are
currently the subject of live proceedings in the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands.
The Company looks forward to providing investors with an update
as and when it is appropriate to do so.
