£2.5 million fundraising and Notice of General Meeting

Fox Marble, the AIM listed company focused on marble quarrying in Kosovo and the Balkans region, is pleased to announce that it has raised £2,514,877 through a placing and subscription.

£2,427,499 (before expenses) has been raised through Fox-Davies Capital Limited (the "Placing"), conditional on admission, which will be effected through a two stage equity placing of 14,712,116 new ordinary shares ("Placing Shares") at a price of 16.5 pence per share ("Placing Price"). The Placing was supported by a number of leading financial institutions.

In addition, two funds managed by Amati Global Investors have agreed to subscribe £87,378 for 529,563 ordinary shares ("Subscription") and have agreed to amend the terms of the loan note held by them such that the first year's capitalised interest on the loan note will be payable in cash.

Reasons for the Placing and use of proceeds

Fox Marble's long term strategy is to expand its portfolio and widen its geographical exposure as it looks to build a profitable marble quarrying and production business and substantial progress has been made in the period since admission towards this strategy. The Company is carrying out the Placing to replace the £2 million undrawn convertible loan note facility provided by AGMH Limited to the Companyand to provide additional working capital for the development of its business.

Of the 14,712,116 new Ordinary Shares being placed, the Company has placed 10,469,694 new Ordinary Shares ("Firm Placing Shares") at the Placing Price to raise £1,727,499 (before expenses) ("Firm Placing"). The Firm Placing Shares have been allotted and issued utilising the Company's existing share allotment authorities and the Firm Placing is conditional upon, among other things, admission of the Firm Placing Shares to trading on AIM. It is expected that the Firm Placing Shares will be admitted to trading on AIM on or about 13 August 2013.

The remaining 4,242,422 new Ordinary Shares ("Conditional Placing Shares") are to be placed conditional upon, among other things, Shareholder approval at the General Meeting to raise £700,000 (before expenses) ("Conditional Placing"). Subject to all relevant conditions being satisfied (or, if applicable, waived), it is expected that the Conditional Placing Shares will be admitted to trading on AIM on or about 29 August 2013.

Shareholder approval for the issue of the Conditional Placing Shares on a non pre-emptive basis, at the Placing Price shall therefore be sought at a General Meeting to be held at the offices of Nabarro LLP at Lacon House, 84 Theobald's Road, London WC1X 8RW at 10 a.m. on 28 August 2013. Shareholder approval to update the existing Directors' authorities to allot shares will also be sought at this General Meeting.

Broker warrants

These warrants are exercisable at the Placing Price at any time between the first and fourth anniversaries of the Placing.

Chris Gilbert, Chief Executive of Fox Marble, said: "In what continue to be difficult global capital markets, it is reassuring to see such a strong level of support from both existing and new institutional investors. Placing shares at a premium to the current price, rather than at a discount, is further testament to what we feel is a very compelling investment case.

Since listing on AIM the Company has rapidly evolved from a start-up operation to a producing company with its first offtake agreement signed with a leading UK marble distributor. We envisage further sales being secured in the coming months."
