Cordlife shares rose over 18% on January 14 after the Health Ministry renewed its restricted licence for another year, allowing the company to continue storing cord blood. The shares increased from 12.7 cents to 15 cents following the announcement. Cordlife is also facing claims totaling at least $5.45 million from parents regarding damaged cord blood units, which could negatively impact its financial position if ordered to pay this financial year.
