REL: 1125 HRS Comvita Limited                                                 
                                                                              
DIRECTOR: CVT: Comvita Director Resignation                                   
                                                                              
Edward (Ed) Quilty has tendered his resignation from the Board of Comvita     
Limited, effective immediately.                                               
                                                                              
Ed was first appointed to be a director of Comvita Limited when Derma         
Sciences, Inc., Comvita's USA based woundcare partner, became a significant   
shareholder in Comvita in August 2013.                                        
                                                                              
Ed resigned as the Chief Executive Officer of Derma at the end of 2015.  With 
his resignation from Derma in the US, it was agreed by the Comvita Board that 
it was no longer appropriate for Ed to continue as a director on the Comvita  
Board.                                                                        
                                                                              
The Board is grateful to Ed for his contribution, particularly as it related  
to keeping an ongoing strong relationship with Derma.  Sales of Medihoney     
branded woundcare products by Derma to hospitals and professionals now        
account for circa US$20m per annum and growing, realising a continuing        
royalty stream for Comvita.                                                   
                                                                              
Ends
