World Heart comments on Dr. Wilbert Keon's resignation World Heart Corp WHT Shares issued 14,078,743 Dec 15 close $13.00 Thu 16 Dec 99 News Release Mr. Roderick Bryden reports World Heart today released the following statement respecting the resignation of Dr. Wilbert Keon from his position as director general of the University of Ottawa heart institute. Roderick M. Bryden, chairman and chief executive officer of WorldHeart, said: "Dr. Keon is one of the leading heart surgeons in the world. His skill and knowledge are unaffected by the unfortunate incident which led Dr. Keon to resign from his position at the University of Ottawa heart institute. It was the vision of Dr. Keon that led to the Canadian artificial heart program, through which HeartSaverVAD was created by the team led by Dr. Tofy Mussivand. We are looking forward to Dr. Keon implanting the first HeartSaverVAD next summer. Dr. Keon has no ownership interest in WorldHeart and he occupies no position in the corporation. Our volunteer clinical advisory board, which includes eight of the world's leading doctors in this field, is chaired by Dr. Keon. This incident will have no effect on his role with this board. The Ottawa Heart Institute Research Corporation holds just under 10 per cent of the common shares of WorldHeart. This ownership will be unaffected by Dr. Keon's resignation from his position in the OHI. We at WorldHeart, are saddened by this incident and its effect on a wonderful man. There is no impact on our corporation and we are confident that the people of Ottawa will continue to see Dr. Keon as the outstanding citizen and leader in our community that his life of service has made him." WARNING: The company relies on litigation protection for "forward-looking" statements. (c) Copyright 1999 Canjex Publishing Ltd. canada-stockwatch.com
