Dated: July 29, 1998 MEDIZONE INTERNATIONAL, INC. By: /s/ Edwin G. Marshall Edwin G. Marshall, Chief Executive Officer ATTACHMENT: PRESS RELEASE OF 4/16/98 MEDIZONE INTERNATIONAL INC. ANNOUNCES MANAGEMENT RESTRUCTURING WHILE RESEARCH PROGRESSES SALT LAKE CITY, April 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Medizone International, Inc. (OTC- Bulletin Board: MZEI) (Medizone) announces a management restructuring. Milton A. Adair has resigned as President, CEO and Board Member, but will remain as a consultant to the Company. Mr. Adair has taken the position of CEO with ION Laser Technology, Inc., a Company in which he had already been serving as a Director. At a Board meeting held yesterday, Mr. Adair's resignation was accepted and his appointment as a consultant to the Company confirmed. Medizone then appointed Chairman of the Board, Edwin G. Marshall, as CEO, and Board member Gerard V. Sunnen, MD, Director of Science, as Company President. Mr. Marshall made the following statement about these changes: "Mr. Adair as fulltime president and CEO for the last nine months, has established a sound corporate organization for the future of the Company. His leadership has effected significant progress in the Company's business and scientific development. For the next phase of Medizone's re-establishment, Mr. Adair's availability as a consultant will be most appropriate to the Company's needs and will ensure continuity. For example; the successful development of new equipment announced on March 24, together with the start of research into the deactivation of viruses in media used in the manufacturing of both animal and human vaccines, is under way. The Company's expenses for both the phase I and phase II veterinarian trials have already been paid. Medizone has more ongoing research at this time than at any time in the previous four years. The veterinarian trials are especially exciting for two reasons. 1. The results are anticipated in approximately six months, a relatively brief period of time. 2. If the trials are successful, as we fully anticipate, it could potentially bring the Company a revenue stream in a much shorter period of time than previously envisioned. Relations with our joint venture partner in these trials will be managed by Dr. Sunnen as Director of Science." Dr. Sunnen added: "The Company's Science record is especially encouraging, combining low toxicity with the successful deactivation of viruses. Our optimism in achieving a successful outcome with the veterinarian research is based on this history and the fact that serum products are cell free. Cell free products should allow us a larger therapeutic window, hence our belief of a strong likelihood of success with this very important project." The Company now plans a relocation to the San Francisco Bay Area. The Company had been located in Salt Lake City specifically to accommodate Mr. Adair. Ms. Joy Erickson, Vice President of Operations, will remain with the Company until the relocation. Mr. Marshall said, "The San Francisco Bay Area, with its larger biotech community and political involvement in HIV issues, now becomes a more logical location for the Company." The Company continues to work on securing additional funding. By keeping expenditures to a minimum at this time, the Company believes it has enough resources on hand to continue operations until the veterinarian research is completed. (Estimated to be Sept. or Oct. of 1998). The Company, current with its SEC filings, plans to remain so in the future. The quarterly 10Q, due on May 15, is being prepared. As part of this restructuring, CTC Inc. will no longer serve as Medizone's investor relations firm. Shareholders are encouraged to follow Medizone's web site located at www.medizoneint.com for Company information or telephone its Corporate Offices at 801-274-8400. Medizone International, Inc., is a research and development stage Company engaged in the development of an ozone based treatment for diseases caused by lipid enveloped viruses, including Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), Hepatitis B and Herpes; and in the development of its patented technology for the decontamination of blood, blood products and veterinarian serum products.
