LAST OPPORTUNITY TO BUY MARATHON AT $160 PER SHARE

3 March 2020 - All Investment Partners, and a limited number new Investment Partners are invited to apply for shares in Marathon at $160 per share before the share price rises to over $180. Application forms and funds must be received by the closing time.

The Board of Marathon will close the current $160 per share offer at 1:00pm on Friday, 13 March 2020 in favour of a new Share Offer that will raise capital for the fund at over $180 per share.

The increased price reflects the continuing strong performance of the investment portfolio.  As at 31 January 2020, the Net Asset Value (NAV) of Marathon was $176.07 per share (unaudited).  Earnings from our private equity investments are anticipated to add to the NAV in coming months.

Marathon’s progressively rising share price, based on our investment performance, is consistent with our objective of aligning the share price with the NAV. This rewards Investment Partners with capital growth from their investment in Marathon.

Investment Partners who are considering further investing in Marathon may wish to complete their subscriptions at $160 per share, while the current Information Memorandum remains open.

Preference will be given to existing Investment Partners.  New investment partners should make application immediately, as allocations may be limited.

Applications close at 1:00pm on Friday 13 March 2020.

About Marathon Consolidated Ltd

Marathon is a balance between an old-fashioned public company, private equity and a hedge fund. We utilise many of the same tools as private equity and hedge fund managers – investment analysis, investment activism and adaptive management. We view our portfolio as dynamic, reacting to opportunities as they develop.

However, unlike private equity firms we use little to no leverage. Compared to hedge funds, we do this all in the public forum allowing our investors greater transparency and most importantly, the ability to act on their own accord.
