Gwowei Technology Company, Ltd., Taiwan, to Join Cambium in Development and Commercialization of Certain Human Platelet Derived Research and Therapeutic Products

ATLANTA, GA – May 19, 2014 – Cambium Medical Technologies (“Cambium” or “the Company’) announced today the signing of a Joint Development and Collaboration Agreement (“JDCA”) with a U.S. subsidiary of Gwowei Technology Company (GRETAI:4734) of Taipei, Taiwan. Entering into this JDCA includes an investment by Gwowei into Cambium in exchange for an exclusive license of certain manufacturing, development and commercialization rights to Cambium’s novel platelet lysate based technology and products in certain key countries. Financial terms of the JDCA were not disclosed.

“We are excited about having Gwowei, and through its recently established U.S. subsidiary; Amber BioLife, Inc., Seattle, Washington, as a strategic partner going forward,” said Terence Walts, President & CEO of Cambium. “Not only are our experiences and know-how in human platelet lysates synergistic, this partnership will allow Cambium the ability to enter China with our dry eye product and enter the worldwide cell growth supplement market much earlier than anticipated,” said Walts.

“Gwowei has assessed the international commercial potential of Cambium’s novel platelet lysate product and is convinced it has strong potential for use as a superior dry eye product as well as a cell growth supplement for producing new stem cell therapeutics,” said Dr. Sebastian Tseng, Gwowei’s Chairman. Dr. Tseng also stated, “We look forward to working together with Cambium to leverage our combined resources to more rapidly bring these novel products to the market.”
