Update re. Belluscura IPO

Further to the announcement made on 16 November 2017, the Board of Tekcapital plc (AIM: TEK), a UK intellectual property (IP) investment group focused on creating marketplace value from university technology, today provides an update on the proposed IPO of Belluscura Limited ("Belluscura").

Due to current market conditions and certain other Enterprise Investment Scheme/Venture Capital Trust requirements having not been met in the expected timeframe, Belluscura is unable to proceed with the IPO and acquisition of licenses to manufacture and sell the STIC from Stryker Corporation.  Belluscura is actively considering other alternatives.
