Vasomedical Announces Reorganization of Its Board of Directors

Vasomedical, Inc. ("Vasomedical”) (OTC: VASO.OB), a world leader in the noninvasive treatment of cardiovascular diseases, today announced a reorganization of its Board of Directors to realign its leadership to better position the company for a more diversified business portfolio, including its exclusive sales representative agreement for select diagnostic imaging products recently signed with GE Healthcare. Mr. Simon Srybnik, upon his appointment as Acting Chairman of the Board, said that "Vasomedical’s strategy of growth includes exploration of new and exciting opportunities to meet current and future needs of the worldwide medical marketplace. Restructuring our Board at this time should enable the company to realize its growth potential and to achieve greater shareholder value. I look forward to the active involvement of our directors as we begin to undertake this additional direction in close collaboration with GE Healthcare.”

In addition to Mr. Srybnik, the new Board of Directors consists of current members Dr. Jun Ma, President and CEO, Mr. Behnam Moveseghi, CPA, and Dr. Derek Enlander. Joining the Board at this time is Mr. William Dempsey, former owner and Managing Director of Cardiac Services Ireland Ltd., a healthcare and distribution company in Ireland and the UK. It is the Company’s intent that Mr. Dempsey, with his extensive experience in medical device sales channels, will provide strategic input and directorial oversight for the Company’s new sales representation business.

The Board of Directors and the Company express their greatest appreciation to the former directors who resigned last week as part of this structured reorganization, including Mr. Abraham E. Cohen, who had served as its Chairman of the Board for 15 year; Dr. John Hui, a founder of Vasomedical; and Mr. Photios Paulson, who had not only served on the Board but also as President and CEO at different times. Dr. Hui will remain with the company as Chief Technology Officer as well as Chairman of our newly formed Advisory Committee, which also includes Mr. Paul Hannigan, a former Managing Director of Cardiac Services in Ireland, and others to be added shortly.

"In addition to continuing to promote EECP therapy and make it available to more people around the world, our reorganization at this time positively demonstrates Vasomedical’s commitment to move beyond and rise above all challenges facing companies in our industry today, and in concert with our strategic relationships like GE Healthcare, to deliver on the promise of increasing patient access to improved and lower cost healthcare," commented Dr. Jun Ma. "At Vasomedical, we believe that what we do today will make a difference tomorrow."
