Setting a clear course for the company to achieve operational excellence

2017 – Sep'23
Stage 1: Commissioning – trial and error Completed
✓
Atlantic Sapphire saw rapid growth in this period and experienced "growing pains" that ultimately had a material negative effect on biological performance and achieved volumes.
Selected initiatives:
- Biofilter reset
- New chiller bank
- New ozone system
- Additional tank lighting

Stage 2: Industrialization, systemization, knowledge-based approach Completed
✓
Changes to organizational structure and production protocols, with new operational management reducing the complexity level in the farm and taking down the short-term ambition to make vital improvements for the longer term.
Selected initiatives:
• Mario Palma new COO, implementing new production protocols
~5,000 tons annualized harvest (HOG, est.)1
- Reducing risk
- Stabilizing farm conditions

Stage 3: Getting ahead of the curve Near-term focus
Focus on proactivity and optimizing by removing bottlenecks, fine-tuning and optimizing water quality – Phase 1 requiring new investments to reach full practical capacity. Continued investments into Phase 2.
Selected targets:
Today
- Profitable operations
- Increase harvest weights
- Increase biomass
- Improve bFCR2 by ~0.1 (optimized Phase 1)
- Cut operational costs by USD 1-2/kg (optimized Phase 1)
NEAR-TERM PHASE 1: EBITDA break-even 7,500-8,000 tons annual harvest (HOG, est.)
OPTIMIZED PHASE 1:
EBITDA of USD 1.5-2.0 /kg 8,250-8,750 tons annual harvest (HOG, est.)

Fully operational Phase 1 + Phase 2 estimated to unlock the full potential of both phases and lead to increased output from the entire facility, unlocking economies of scale and significant cash generation potential.
Target EBITDA of USD ~5 per kg ~25,000 tons annual harvest (HOG, est.)

1) Based on Q2 2024 harvest level of ~1,250 tons HOG
2) bFCR: Biological Feed Conversion Ratio
Stabilized biological performance and identified bottlenecks in the operation to be resolved before full capacity can be utilized

- Since the hiring of Mario Palma as Chief Operating Officer in October 2023 and continued with the hiring of new CEO and CFO, the Company has made adjustments to improve and stabilize production
- New organization and management in place within technical services focusing on i.e. operational efficiency and asset management
- Phase 1 is now in a state where it has proven a good production environment over nearly a year
Phase 1 performance has been stabilized Fine tuning of the facility, achieving operational excellence
- The feeding capacity of the facility has been limited by bottlenecks and downtime in the water treatment capacity, and the Company therefore initiated mitigating actions to reduce number of fish to the current levels (as announced on 11 July 2024)
- New management identified what is expected to be needed to complement and complete efforts initiated in October 2023 – planned to result in a fully utilized Phase 1
- In addition to Phase 1 de-bottlenecking, the Company sees strong benefits from completing a new water well to continue the Phase 2 progress and improve Phase 1 performance
- Removing of bottlenecks and reduction of unscheduled downtime will allow for increased feeding and derisking of Phase 1

Measures undertaken by previous management and Nordlaks to reach Phase 1 stability…
…to be completed by new management in the period ahead for full utilization of Phase 1
Tangible capex plan to de-bottleneck and optimize phase 1


Operational efficiency and production improvement through bottleneck removal Commentary
- Management identified several de-bottlenecking and optimizing initiatives requiring some ~USD 25m of capex investment to bring out the practical capacity of Phase 1 and further drive optimized operational performance
- The Phase 1 capex items primarily relate to various components that are currently limiting the overall capacity and increasing risk
- Total capex directly related to Phase 1 is estimated to be ~USD 25m, while an additional ~USD 11m of capex for a new Phase 2 well will enabling proper maintenance of existing wells which also benefits Phase 1
- The investments are expected to increase feeding capacity from ~23t per day to ~33t per day
- Additionally, the investments are expected to lead to improvements in FCR and reduce risk
Feeding restrictions to be unlocked through de-bottlenecking

- Monthly feeding levels have increased since October 2023 as a result of the investments made into de-bottlenecking and optimizing feeding activities
- The feeding capacity of the facility has been limited by bottlenecks and downtime in the water treatment capacity, which was the root cause for the Company having to harvest out fish at small sizes during Q2 (as announced on 11 July 2024)
- With new management team in place, the focus has been to optimize production and remove bottlenecks to realize the potential of Phase 1
- Bottleneck removal components scheduled from November 2024 until June 2025 will allow for a gradual increase in daily feeding levels
- Building the right biomass along the way, especially in Q3 2025 when feeding capacity is increasing
- Daily feeding levels achieved during 2025 will allow for an estimated annualized harvest volume of up to 8,000t HOG
Key comments Quarterly feeding rate (kg)

Strong focus on building scale with the addition of Phase 2


Management currently estimates total Phase 2 capex to around USD 350 - 400 million. USD 113 million is already invested as of H1 2024. The Phase 2 capex estimate is uncertain and a current estimate based on previous capex estimates, inflation assumptions and some design changes
- 1) Design capacity does not reflect current practical production capacity as one of twelve tanks is used for purging while only Phase 1 is operational
- 2) Total assets minus total liabilities
- 3) Extrapolated fixed EBITDA cost only including indirect cost
- 4) Illustrated EBITDA potential assumes 8,250-8,750 tons of practical capacity for Phase 1 at USD 1.5-2.0/kg EBITDA margin; and 25,000 tons of practical capacity for Phases 1 & 2 combined at USD 5/kg target margin
Stable performance on key operational parameters since October 2023


- Significant improvement in mortality following the completion of the installation of new chillers in Q4
- Industrialization strategy implemented with focus on facility capacity, improving bottlenecks, and knowledge-based improvements
- New operational protocol implemented from October 2023
- Technical service operations shifting from retro active to preventive maintenance
- Stable water quality and temperature achieved after October 2023
Monthly mortality rates (% of fish) Monthly average water temperatures (Co )

- New rental chiller capacity was brought online from October 2023, immediately resolving prior issues with elevated temperatures
- Since the new chiller bank was installed, the company have achieved stabilized water temperatures (in line with target temperatures) and have seen a drastic decrease in mortality and increase in production
- Improved on redundancy and cooling efficiency (chiller capacity + intake heat exchanger)
Highly encouraging biomass development


- Very stable growth from November 2023 driven by good growth environment and low mortality levels
- As of July 2024, standing biomass is ~2,900 tons RLW
- bFCR to stabilize between 1.2-1.3, with identified room for further improvement
Net biomass gain (RLW tons) Harvest volume (RLW tons, bars) and avg. harvest weights (kg. RLW, line)

- From January 2024, water quality and system performance indicated that it has reached peak capacity. It was decided to increase harvesting to match biomass growth, to avoid further increase in standing biomass. As such, fish had to be harvested early in the production cycle at small weights - resulting in poor sales price for the fish
- Once bottlenecks in the system are resolved, the company can build biomass to significantly higher average weights and thereby improve price realization

- Company estimates the total funding need for Phase 1 to get EBITDA positive to be around USD 94m
- Currently, the Company estimates that the current fundraise will be sufficient to fund the Company towards the end of 2025, whereby it is estimated that Phase 1 will be self-funding
- The fundraise, together with the amendments to the debt package will allow for the Company to continue to prove stable operations and optimize Phase 1 production, which will be key to unlock Phase 2 and the inherent value creation potential
- In connection with, and subject to the contemplated fundraise, DNB Bank has agreed to the following amendments to the current loan facility
- No installments on Term Loan for remaining of 2024 and 2025
- Adjustments of financial covenants to reflect current business plan
- In addition to the abovementioned adjustments to Phase 1 Term Loan Facility, the Company and DNB Bank has jointly agreed to cancel the uncommitted and undrawn Phase 2 Delayed Term Loan, in order to remove commitment fees on the undrawn debt and improve liquidity
- DNB Bank has credit approved a reduction in the minimum liquidity covenant of USD 5 million that can be utilized towards the construction of the well investment for Phase 2 once 50% of the well is completed. The new minimum liquidity will post drawdown be USD 10 million
- Subject to a fully guaranteed fundraise, DNB Bank has agreed for the Company to draw up to USD 10 million above its borrowing base on the RCF until proceeds from the fundraise is received
Atlantic Sapphire's advantageous location unlocks premium pricing

1 4 14 Very small fish Small fish Normal fish "Bluehouse premium" \$12-13/kg ASA target avg. price 12 Approximate long-term sales prices (USD / kg. HOG)
- Under stable conditions, ~80-90% of total harvest is expected to be sold at the Bluehouse premium price, raising the average price achievement considerably
- Includes also value enhancing of lower quality fish by fileting & VAP to increase price
- Targeting ~USD 12-13/kg in average price achievement once in full production
- Being a local US producer, Atlantic Sapphire enjoys significant competitive advantages versus import markets (substantial cost- and emissions savings on transport being a key example)
Attractive price levels for premium fish Reaching majority premium pricing from Q4 2024
Price achievement (USD / kg. HOG) & share of Premium quality fish (% of total fish harvested)1

- Bottlenecks in Phase 1 system have forced early harvesting of fish, with majority of fish harvested during Q1 and Q2 being "very small" or "small"
- Solving the bottlenecks will allow Atlantic Sapphire to achieve larger proportion of "normal" and "premium" fish
- From Q4 2024, Atlantic Sapphire expects to have a significantly increased share of "normal" fish which allows the company to consistently realize premium prices
Key focus of new management to achieve profitability

Bridge-to-profitability for optimized Phase 1 and for fully operational Phase 1 + Phase 2
