On 12 March 2007 Cubus Lux, the Croatian leisure and tourism company, entered into two option agreements to acquire certain development land known as the 'Olive Island Resort' on the coast of Dalmatia in Croatia. The Olive Island Resort development land is set in 400,000sqm of land along 1.5km of beach, and is intended to be developed into:- (a) a village resort comprising 431 units, namely 126 villas and 305 apartments as well as the accompanying facilities such as restaurants, shops, offices and a marina (the 'Villas Development'); and (b) a 4 star hotel containing 500 beds (the 'Hotel Development'). Highlights • Option to acquire Villas Development for €10 million in cash and the issue of 33m ordinary shares in the Company, which may be satisfied at the option of the Company by the issue of ordinary shares credited as fully paid • Option to acquire Hotel Development for €5 million in ordinary shares of the Company • Villas Development and Hotel Development valued at €39m and €5m respectively* * Independent valuation of both operations by UK based surveyors Kings Sturge. Options subject to a number of conditions including the grant of the necessary planning permissions. Haggai Ravid, Director of Cubus Lux, commented: 'This is an extremely exciting opportunity for Cubus Lux which represents a significant evolution in our operations. The Olive Island Resort is an idyllic stretch of land and the resort has already attracted widespread interest. The Villas and the Hotel are fully synergetic. Pre sales figures have been very encouraging with units having already been acquired by people across Europe and in the US. In the event that Cubus Lux decides to exercise the Options, we hope that these investments will prove to be lucrative for Cubus Lux.' The option agreement in respect of the Villas Development has been entered into between the Company and the shareholders of G&P Limited, a company registered in the British Virgin Islands. This option agreement provides that the Company may exercise an option to acquire the Villas Development within 4 months from the date of the option agreement. Completion of the acquisition of the Villas Development is to proceed as soon as reasonably practicable following the exercise of the option, subject to agreement of the terms of the relevant acquisition agreement. Upon completion of the acquisition of the Villas Development, the Company is obliged to pay €10 million in cash and to issue 33m ordinary shares in the Company credited as fully paid. The option agreement in respect of the Hotel Development has been entered into between the Company and the shareholders of Duboko Plavetnilo Hoteli doo, a Croatian company. This option agreement provides that the Company may exercise an option to acquire the Hotel Development within 4 months from the date of the option agreement. Completion of the acquisition of the Hotel Development is to proceed as soon as reasonably practicable following the exercise of the option, subject to agreement of the terms of the relevant acquisition agreement. Upon completion of the acquisition of the Hotel Development, the Company is obliged to pay €5 million, which may be satisfied at the option of the Company by the issue of ordinary shares in the Company at a fixed price of 50 pence per share (the 'Consideration Shares'). The Option Agreement provides a formula for the issue of warrants over additional ordinary shares exercisable at nominal value in the event that the market value of the Company's ordinary shares is less than 50 pence per share on both the date of exercise of the option and on the date of the issue of the Consideration Shares. This warrant formula is intended to compensate the parties granting the Option in the event that the market value of the Company's shares is less than 50 pence at the relevant time. Both option agreements are conditional upon a number of factors, including completion of due diligence to the Company's satisfaction, the agreement of the detailed terms of acquisition agreements, and the raising of debt or equity financing by the Company for at least €10 million. In particular, the Company understands that the parties which have granted the options are in the process of securing consent from the Croatian government to the develop the relevant land, and exercise of the options is subject to such consent having been granted. In the event that the Company proceeds with the acquisition of the Villas Development and the Hotel Development, then the transaction is expected to constitute a reverse takeover for the purposes of the AIM Rules, and will therefore require the issue of an admission document and shareholder approval. In addition, the transaction would be considered to be a related party transaction for the purposes of the AIM Rules, due to the connection between Gerhard Huber and the counterparties to the option agreements. The Company understands that the Villas Development and Hotel Development are due for completion in 2010, subject to obtaining the relevant Croatian planning permissions. The Company also understands that 87 of the 431 units contained within the Villas Development have been pre-sold. In an independent valuation of both operations by UK based surveyors Kings Sturge, the Villas Development and the Hotel Development are estimated at €39m and €5m respectively, subject to a number of conditions including the grant of the necessary planning permissions. - ends - For further information please contact: Cubus Lux Plc Haggai Ravid +972 (544) 565 682 Corporate Synergy Oliver Cairns/Romil Patel 020 7448 4400 Threadneedle Communications Graham Herring/Josh Royston 020 7936 9605 This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange
