MyoCell® Cell Therapy Overview Muscle stem cell-based therapy designed to

treat heart damage by growing new muscle in damaged heart tissue.

Uses myoblasts (muscle stem cells)

• Patient-derived; reduces risk of tissue rejection

• Committed to forming muscle, will not differentiate into other cell types or over-proliferate

• Tolerates low-oxygen conditions present in scar tissue

Large potential savings in healthcare costs

Competition Bioheart’s technology is the most advanced

and effective of all cell therapies for CHF. Bioheart has Intellectual Property and

technological exclusivity that protects freedom of operation.

Myoblasts have been shown to be the only effective cell-based therapy to grow new contractile muscle (myogenesis) in true scar tissue for treatment of CHF.

Adipose (fat) derived stem cells are preferable over bone marrow stem cells in indications requiring angiogenesis, because they are autologous, easy to obtain and abundant.

SDF-1 Cells

Four years of sponsored animal studies have demonstrated that 2nd generation MyoCell ® SDF-1 provides significantly higher levels of improvement than the first

generation MyoCell ® composition.

REGEN Trial – MyoCell SDF-1 7 years of preclinical testing in animals at both

Cleveland Clinic and the University of Florida has demonstrated double the cardiac improvement over standard myoblasts. MyoCell SDF-1 54% improvement. Myoblasts unmodified 27%. Control placebo injections minus 10%.

FDA clearance received for a 15 patient, 3 center Phase I study– Dose Escalation – 3 cohorts: 200 million, 400 million and

800 million cells

Historic first ever FDA approval for clinical trials for a combination gene and cell therapy for a major indication of use.

Repeat injections even more improvement

• European Heart Journal (2010) 31, 1013–1021 doi:10.1093 Repeated implantation of skeletal myoblast in a swine model of chronic myocardial infarction Felipe Prosper et al.

• A significantly greater increase in the DLVEF was detected in animals that received three doses vs. a single dose of SkM. A correlation between the total number of transplanted cells and the improvement in LVEF and DLVEF was found (P , 0.05). Skeletal myoblast transplant was associated with an increase in tissue vasculogenesis and decreased fibrosis (collagen vascular fraction) and these effects were greater in animals receiving three doses of cells.

Repeat Injections Even More Improvement

• Control placebo LVEF 40.6 down to 37.7 P value 0.880

>> Myoblast injection results…

• 1 injection session LVEF 45.1 up to 56.2 P value 0.113

• 2 injection sessions LVEF 41.3 up to 56.4 P value 0.02

• 3 injection sessions LVEF 39.3 up to 65.6 P value 0.01

5 Sequences of MyoStim Stimulator

• The MyoStim Implantable Heart Tissue Stimulator - This product is designed to improve upon current CRT/ICD pacemakers in treating patients with heart failure and arrhythmias. The stimulator runs five (5) programs in sequence;   (1) The Kanno program stimulates angioenesis (new blood vessel growth).  (2) The Chachques-Leonhardt program recruits stem cells to injured heart tissue areas. (3) The Leonhardt-Chachques program differentiates recruited and/or injected stem cells to beating heart muscle.  (4) The Leonhardt program senses arrhythmia's-fibrillation and delivers a low voltage pulse to restart a patient's heart back to a normal beat (replaces outdated high voltage shock ICD systems).  (5) The final program is a standard synchronization pacing program that double ensures that newly created muscle, in the previous scarred areas of the heart, beats in synchrony with the rest of the heart.  The stimulation pulses also duly serve to increase the contraction twitch strength of the muscle to improve cardiac output.  This product will require clinical trials of approximately 300 patients.  Nearly half of the 30 to 50 million patients worldwide in heart failure are expected to be candidates for this product in the future.

• Market: $6 billion +
