CardioMind, Inc.

Headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, CardioMind, Inc. is a development stage company focused on a unique stent delivery platform that has applications in treating coronary, neuro and peripheral artery disease.

CardioMind believes its assets are attractive for a number of reasons:

1. CardioMind's Sparrow bare metal stent systems are CE Marked and represent:
   - the first stent "in a guidewire" system ever approved for sale.
   - the lowest profile (.014 Inch maximum diameter) stent system ever approved for sale.
   - the stent with the thinnest struts ever approved for sale.
   - the first approved stent system specifically designed to treat vessels below 2.75 mm.
   
   
2. CardioMind has data on its Sparrow drug eluting stent out to 8 months that shows binary restenosis rates of 6.7% in vessels whose mean diameter is 2.27 mm with a mean in-lesion late loss of .23 mm. This data was collected from world respected cardiology centers in Europe, Asia, Australia, and South America in a multicenter controlled randomized trial and analyzed by key ivus and angiographic core laboratories. Data sets and data bases available during due diligence process.
   
   
3. CardioMind has extensive data from bench, preclinical, and clinical studies that was used to get the CE Mark on the bare metal stent and is in process of using existing data to get the CE mark for its drug eluting stent.
   
   
4. CardioMind has existing bare metal inventory that can be used for clinical evaluation and sale preference testing in Europe.

Intellectual Property Summary

At present, CardioMind has 2 issued US patents, 14 pending patent applications of which 2 have been allowed, and 14 pending international patent applications of which 1 has been allowed. These patents and patent applications are in the area of implant and/or stent delivery technology and stent construction technology and describe among other things:

• A low-profile implant/stent delivery device having an implant/stent releasably secured to a delivery guide member.
  
  
• Stent delivery systems comprising an elongate stent carrying member that serves as a guidewire for a balloon catheter that can be used, for example, for vessel predilation or postdilation of an emplaced stent. And methods of passing a balloon catheter over an elongate stent carrying member, which serves as a guidewire.
  
  
• Prosthesis twist-down delivery systems including a prosthesis mounted on an elongate member in a twisted reduced diameter configuration and stent configurations suitable for twisting.
  
  
• Implant/stent holding and release approaches to releasably hold an implant/stent to a delivery guide including mechanical and electrolytic mechanisms.
  
  
• Power delivery technology for releasing electrolytically erodable stent holding mechanisms.

CardioMind has allowed claims involving methods for treating a vessel including passing a balloon catheter over an elongate stent carrying member, which serves as a guidewire for the balloon catheter. CardioMind also has allowed claims involving a system comprising prosthesis structure being in a twisted reduced diameter configuration and releasably mounted on an elongate member. These allowed claims also include other language as will be apparent from reviewing the claims. Other aspects of the technology also are being pursued.

Sparrow is a differentiated stent and delivery technology

• The stent "in a guidewire" technology is unique to CARDIOMIND and may offer significant clinical benefits.
  
  
• The Sparrow's low profile and guidewire integration allows for significantly improved delivery and access to distal lesions, lesions in tortuous anatomy, small vessels, lesions distal to previously placed stents, and access through stent struts to treat bifurcations.
  
  
• The Sparrow allows direct access to the lesion with the Sparrow being used as the lead guidewire. The Sparrow guidewire can then be used to rail a rapid exchange catheter over its shaft and stent. Alternatively, the Sparrow with its stent attached can fit through any standard .014 inch catheter lumen (infusion or balloon).

Large and well established stent market

• Existing $5 billion worldwide coronary stent market.
  
  
• Existing reimbursement.
  
  
• Physician base known for rapid adoption of new technologies that provide improved safety/efficacy and/or greater efficiency.
  
  
• Neurovascular Stent: The Sparrow can be used in neurovascular anatomy to treat ischemic stroke, atherosclerotic disease, or bridge aneurysms prior to coiling. Existing stents with much stiffer, bulkier delivery systems are priced at $6000 for bare metal stents. There are over 700,000 ischemic strokes in the US annually. Access is a key issue in treatment of distal, tortuous neurovascular disease.
  
  
• Peripheral Stent: The Sparrow can access distal parts of the peripheral vascular system to treat unmet clinical needs in erectile dysfunction and distal disease in the leg. The Sparrow system is extremely flexible and trackable and may be able deliver a self-expanding stent to distal, tortuous anatomy better than current systems. These markets represent markets over $500MM.

CardioMind Company Profile

CardioMind was founded in 2003 and raised approximately $53 million through private placements of its convertible preferred stock involving leading venture capital firms including Latterell Venture Partners, Morgenthaler Ventures, InterWest Partners, De Novo Ventures, SV Life Sciences, and Onset Ventures.

CardioMind is a developer of the innovative "stent in a guidewire" Sparrow system using both drug eluting and bare metal stent systems for the treatment of coronary artery disease, neurovascular disease and peripheral vasculature disease. The CardioMind® Sparrow Stent is the only stent system designed specifically to treat small vessel disease and offers delivery on a guidewire that has a profile 70% smaller than any commercial competitor.

CardioMind's stent systems are the only stent systems designed to enable physicians to access lesions with combination wire/stent that acts as a lead wire. CardioMind's stent systems are designed to treat small vessels and distal, hard to reach anatomy in coronary, neuro and peripheral vasculature.

Impact of Technology on the Market

CardioMind believes that its "stent in a guidewire" technology offers advantages over currently marketed stents.

• The "stent in a guidewire" technology is unique to CARDIOMIND and may offer significant clinical benefits
  
  
• The Sparrow's low profile and guidewire integration allows for significantly improved delivery and access to distal lesions, lesions in tortuous anatomy, small vessels, lesions distal to previously placed stents, and access through stent struts to treat bifurcations.
  
  
• The Sparrow allows direct access to the lesion with the Sparrow used as the lead guidewire. The Sparrow guidewire can then be used to rail a rapid exchange catheter over its shaft and the stent. Alternatively the Sparrow and its stent can fit through any standard .014 inch catheter lumen (infusion or balloon).
