Former CEO & Chairman "Pete" Petit Nominates Two Highly Qualified Professionals and Shareholders and Himself to the Board of MiMedx Group, Inc.

Mr. Petit compelled to submit nominations given the disappointing performance by the Board and management and lack of engagement with MiMedx's shareholders

Pete Petit, David Furstenberg and Shawn George would bring needed operational, financial and governance expertise to the Board

Parker H. "Pete" Petit ("Mr. Petit") today announced that he has nominated David J. Furstenberg ("Mr. Furstenberg"), Shawn P. George ("Mr. George") and himself for election to the Board of Directors of MiMedx Group, Inc. ("MiMedx" or the "Company") MDXG at the Company's upcoming Annual Meeting of Shareholders expected to be held on June 17, 2019. Mr. Petit, together with Mr. George and Mr. Furstenberg, are the beneficial owners of 4.3% of the common stock of MiMedx.

Mr. Petit, the former Chairman of the Board and CEO from 2009 to 2018, said, "In my opinion, the current Board has done a major disservice to MiMedx's shareholders and there is no sign the Board has the ability, judgment or commitment to return MiMedx to its former growth and profitability as a NASDAQ listed company. Shareholders have been left in the dark while the Company's value has significantly dropped. I could no longer sit on the sidelines. Together with Shawn and David, we, if elected, will bring a wealth of experience working on and resolving expeditiously highly contentious and complicated matters. I believe that our slate of candidates will instill the much needed accountability and reason in the boardroom that MiMedx is now lacking, while supporting its valuable employees and expanding its best in class intellectual property patents."
