Termination of series 2 loan note

Fox Marble (AIM: FOX), the AIM listed company focused on marble quarrying in Kosovo and the Balkans region, announced on 8 August 2013 that it has undertaken a £2.5 million fundraising to terminate the £2 million undrawn convertible loan note facility provided by AGMH Limited to the Company and to provide additional working capital for the development of its business. Third party legal and financing costs amounting to £166,250 will be incurred by AGMH Limited in respect of the termination of the convertible loan note facility and the Company has agreed to pay an amount equal to those costs to AGMH Limited (the "Transaction").

The Transaction is a related party transaction, pursuant to Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies, due to each of Christopher Gilbert and Dr. Etrur Albani being a director of both Fox Marble and AGMH Limited and interested in shares in AGMH Limited. 

With the exception of the directors who are involved in the Transaction as related parties, the directors of the Company consider, having consulted with its nominated adviser, that the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as its shareholders are concerned.

Chris Gilbert the Chief Executive of Fox Marble commented: "We are pleased to have successfully strengthened our balance sheet with this fund raising which replaces debt with equity and gratified by the support from our existing institutional shareholders who contributed to this as well as welcoming new institutions who have understood the returns we expect to see in Fox Marble.

With this money raised we now have £5.8m available on hand which we will use to continue the successful implementation of our business plan including the building, equipping and commissioning of our processing plant. This plant will allow us to benefit from the additional high margins we expect to generate from the sale of cut and polished marble. Meanwhile we continue to pursue the strong interest we are receiving in the marble we are extracting from our quarries"
