"We are excited to have him as a member of our team. His many years of banking experience, coupled with his biotech experience, his understanding of public markets and the ability to raise capital will be invaluable for us. He will be a real asset to Endovasc as we move through the Phase III trials with two major cardiovascular drugs, Liprostin(TM) and ANGIOGENIX(TM)."

Mr. Horn received a BA in business administration from Arizona State University. He received post-graduate money and banking training from BAI. He has also been certified to execute NAFTA transactions by the Export-Import Bank.

About Endovasc

Endovasc's products include Angiogenix(TM), the revolutionary new treatment that has shown to recruit the body's own stem cells that help grow new heart vessels to relieve chest pain and improve heart function; Liprostin(TM), a liposomal prostaglandin-based treatment that studies suggest will prevent restenosis (re-blockage of arteries), increase circulation, and reduce leg pain due to poor blood flow; biodegradable stents; drug-delivery stents; and newly discovered nutraceutical applications that may accelerate therapeutic development of muscle mass and prostaglandin balancers to treat obesity in overweight diabetic women. Endovasc believes that its nutraceutical stem-cell recruiters combined with high protein complexes and its prostaglandin precursors for conversion of PGE-1 in the body could become blockbuster nonprescription products, producing positive cash flow even sooner than its later stage drugs because they are not subject to the FDA approval process.

Endovasc Ltd. Inc., established in 1996, is a biotechnology company focused in the area of cardiovascular disease, pioneering drug delivery technology designed to deliver and release drugs to their intended targets in an efficient and controlled manner. The company's pipeline of products and processes include: Liprostin(TM), ANGIOGENIX(TM), PROStent(TM) stent-coating technology, and a biodegradable stent prosthesis.
