The second share awards, also amounting to 8,644,800 Ordinary Shares, will vest on 23 July 2018. The total of 17,289,600 Ordinary Shares being awarded from Treasury represent 1.08 per cent. of the total issued share capital of the Company which is unchanged at 1,597,858,383 Ordinary Shares.

The total voting rights in the Company ("TVR"), have increased by 8,644,800 from 1,565,200,413 to 1,573,845,213 and this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the Company under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the UK Financial Conduct Authority.

Following the awards vesting today Bellzone continues to hold 24,013,170 Ordinary Shares in Treasury. The TVR will increase in July 2018 when second awards vest and the resulting TVR will be announced at that time.
