Mowi ASA (OSE: MOWI): Update on the allegations of collusion
With reference to the previously announced European Commission inspection which
concerned possible collusion between Norwegian producers of farmed Norwegian
Atlantic salmon and class action complaints in the USA related to the same
matter.
Further to this Mowi has been informed that we will receive a subpoena from the
Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice in the USA where they are
opening a criminal investigation involving allegations of similar conduct.
Mowi considers that there are no basis for the EU inspection and that the class
action complaints clearly lack merit and are entirely unsubstantiated. This
equally applies to any criminal investigation in the US.
Mowi will fully cooperate with the Department of Justice and will provide as
requested all information in relation to our US subsidiaries.
There is no new information regarding the European Commission's case handling.
This information is subject to the disclosure requirements pursuant to section
5-12 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act.
