On June 19, 2010, the Board of Directors of Bioheart, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Mike Tomas as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and as a director. Mr. Tomas (44) has been President for the past nine years of The ASTRI Group, an early stage private equity investment company in Florida with an investment in Bioheart since 2001. In 2003, he joined Bioheart’s board as the independent representative of The ASTRI Group. ASTRI provides capital, business development and strategic marketing support to emerging private companies. Mr. Tomas will continue to serve as President of The ASTRI Group. Previously from 1983 to 2001, Mr. Tomas held ascending executive positions including Chief Marketing Officer at Avantel, a $1 billion dollar joint venture with MCI. Upon retiring from MCI and WorldCom, Tomas joined other ex-MCI executives and helped raise $40M in venture capital to form Ineto, an integrated customer communications software solution that was successfully sold in 2001. Today Mr. Tomas sits on the boards of Perimeter Internetworking (SaaS providing secure transfer of information for medical and financial institutions), Avisena (revenue cycle management for medical practices) and Total Home Health (Medicare-certified home care provider).  Mr. Tomas is also the current chairman of the Global Entrepreneurship Center at Florida International University and a founding coach/mentor at the University of Miami’s Launch Pad at the Toppel Center.  Mr. Tomas holds a Masters of Business Administration from the University of Miami and a Bachelors degree from Florida International University. This experience, together with his other board experience and his extensive experience in strategic development, makes him well-qualified to serve on, and a valuable member of, our Board of Directors.

A copy of the Company’s employment agreement with Mr. Tomas is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

On June 20, 2010, the Board of Directors appointed Howard J.

Mr. Leonhardt is the Company’s founder and a former Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and currently serves as its Chief Scientific and Technology Officer.

Mr. Leonhardt served as our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer since the Company’s incorporation in August 1999, until March 2007. He resumed his position as Chief Executive Officer in July 2008 and served until August 2009. He has served as the company’s Chief Technology Officer since March 2007. Mr. Leonhardt also served as the company’s Executive Chairman from March 2007 until March 2008. In 1986, Mr. Leonhardt founded World Medical Manufacturing Corporation, or World Medical, and served as its Chief Executive Officer from 1986 until December 1998 when World Medical was acquired by Arterial Vascular Engineering, Inc., or AVE. AVE was acquired by Medtronic, Inc. in January 1999. Mr. Leonhardt was the co-inventor of World Medical’s primary product, the TALENT (Taheri-Leonhardt) stent graft system. From December 1998 until June 1999, Mr. Leonhardt served as President of World Medical Manufacturing Corporation, a subsidiary of Medtronic. Scientific articles written by Mr. Leonhardt have been published in a number of publications including Techniques in Vascular and Endovascular Surgery and the Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery. Mr. Leonhardt received a diploma in International Trade from the Anoka-Hennepin Technical College, attended the University of Minnesota and Anoka-Ramsey Community College and holds an honorary Doctorate Degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Northern California.
