MiMedx Adds New Materials To Its Website Exposing Misinformation Disseminated Through Short Sellers

MARIETTA, Ga., Nov. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- MiMedx Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDXG), the leading biopharmaceutical company developing and marketing regenerative and therapeutic biologics utilizing human placental tissue allografts and patent-protected processes for multiple sectors of healthcare, announced today that it has posted additional materials on the Company's website that further expose the misinformation disseminated through short sellers.

Parker H. "Pete" Petit, Chairman and CEO, stated, "MiMedx will continue to expose the false allegations and contrived innuendo propagated by these illegal short-sellers, especially those that are associated with the Company's compliance with regulatory requirements.  Their baseless allegations are simply designed to denigrate the Company's reputation in order to reinforce the short-sellers' theme of 'short and distort.'  The business practices and supportive culture of the Company have been well-established for many years, and they are based on honesty and integrity. The sources used by these short-sellers and their 'Free Speech' shills appear to include a few former employees who were terminated for cause. Many of their allegations have already been discredited through the discovery process, and they will be further discredited as these matters come to trial. Most of the negative innuendo in this category is quite ridiculous, and it is hard to believe it could be taken as credible."

The new materials can be found on the MiMedx website, www.mimedx.com, by clicking on the tab "Short Selling Commentary" found on the homepage.
