(Alliance News) - Franchi Umberto Marmi Spa announced on Wednesday that it has finalized the acquisition of 49 percent of FUM Australia Pty Ltd, a company incorporated under Australian law, at the same time entering into an option agreement concerning the discretionary and unconditional right to purchase an additional stake representing 2 percent of its share capital.

Franchi Umberto Marmi has been present in the Australian market since November 2019 through a 49 percent stake in Franchi Umberto Marmi Australia Pty Ltd, the company that owns the Sydney showroom.

"The participation in FUM Australia Pty Ltd will also guarantee the company access to a garrison represented by a showroom in Melbourne," the company explained in a note.

It is planned that FUM Australia, with a view to rationalization, will acquire the entire share capital of Franchi Umberto Marmi Australia Pty, thus bringing together under one vehicle all of FUM's activities in the Australian territory.

FUM is unchanged at EUR9.30 per share.
