Marine Harvest - Convertible Bond

24 April 2014

Marine Harvest announces the pricing for its EUR 375 million convertible bond

offering due 2019

Marine Harvest ASA ("Marine Harvest" or the "Company") announces today that it

has successfully priced a EUR 375 million offering of convertible bonds (the

"Bonds") with a five-year tenor.

The senior unsecured Bonds are convertible into common shares of the Company.

The Bonds have an annual coupon of 0.875% payable semi-annually in arrear and a

conversion premium of 35.0% over the Reference Price.

The Reference Price was set at EUR 8.7019 (based on the volume weighted average

price of the Company's common shares on the Oslo Stock Exchange between launch

and pricing of NOK 72.0000 and a Fixed Exchange Rate of NOK 8.2741 per EUR

1.00).

The Bonds will be issued and redeemed at 100% of their principal amount and

will, unless previously redeemed, converted or purchased and cancelled, mature

in 2019. Marine Harvest has the right to call the Bonds after approximately

three years if the value of the Marine Harvest common shares underlying one Bond

on the Oslo Stock Exchange (translated into EUR) exceeds, for a specified period

of time, 130% of the principal amount of a Bond.

The Bonds will be issued under the Board's authorization granted by the Annual

General Meeting of 23 May 2013.

The Bonds are expected to be settled on or around 6 May 2014. The Bonds will not

be listed on issue but Marine Harvest may decide to list the Bonds on an

exchange at a later stage.

The proceeds from the Bonds will be used for general corporate purposes

including refinancing of the Company's indebtedness.

Credit Suisse and Goldman Sachs International are acting as joint bookrunners

(the "Joint Bookrunners").

ABN AMRO, BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank, DNB Markets, Nordea Markets and Rabobank

International are acting as co-managers (the "Co-Managers").

This announcement does not constitute or form part of an offer to sell or the

solicitation of an offer to subscribe for any securities of Marine Harvest.
