COMPANY BUSINESS (INCLUDING MAIN COUNTRY OF OPERATION) OR, IN THE CASE OF AN INVESTING COMPANY, DETAILS OF ITS INVESTING POLICY). IF THE ADMISSION IS SOUGHT AS A RESULT OF A REVERSE TAKE-OVER UNDER RULE 14, THIS SHOULD BE STATED:

Fox Marble is a dimension stone company that focuses on marble quarrying and processing in Kosovo and the Balkans region.

On 11 April 2022, the Company announced an investment into Eco Buildings by way of a convertible loan note of £400,000. The purpose of this financing was to assist in the planned acquisition of the entire issued share capital of Eco Buildings by way of a reverse take-over under AIM Rule 14. Accordingly, at the request of the Company, the Company's ordinary shares were suspended from trading on AIM with effect from 7.30 a.m. on 11 April 2022, pending either the publication of an admission document or until negotiations were terminated.

Fox Marble will change its name to Eco Buildings PLC at a General Meeting prior to Admission subject to the acquisition being approved by Fox Marble's shareholders.

Eco Buildings intends to operate in the prefabricated modular housing sector. Eco Buildings has acquired proven and innovative prefabricated modular technology which has been in development and commercial use since 2006 under its co-founder, Dominic Redfern. Based on this technology, Eco Buildings' management team has utilised its network, particularly in the Balkans, and has initially secured two contracts in Albania that are expected to generate gross sales revenue of up to €114 million in total over the first three years following Admission.

Eco Buildings was established and acquired the business and assets of Gulf Walling FZCO in Dubai; the main assets being the manufacturing plant and equipment (which produces its glass fibre reinforced gypsum walling and slab system), its know-how and its inventory. These assets were relocated to Durres, the principal port of Albania, where a new manufacturing facility has been built in the industrial zone adjacent to the port to satisfy Eco Buildings' two existing sales contracts. In order for the facility to become operational, the plant and equipment remains to be assembled. Durres is well connected with transport links to Eastern Europe and hosts a deep-water port.

By establishing Eco Buildings' operations in Albania, the Directors believe that this will allow for greater customer accessibility, shorter supply chains and a lower cost manufacturing environment which will reduce costs as the Enlarged Group targets growth in the Balkan region.
