AGENDA

STATUS AND PROGRESS – WATERWAYS

2025

  • o Capacity to support annual production of 48,100 tonnes (HOG + post-smolt) of salmon
  • o Workstream on track
  • o Total tunnel length 4.4 km:
    • o 6-7 m of outlet waterway remains
    • o 70 m of inlet waterway left
    • o Completed tunnel infrastructure below pools
    • o Concrete work in tunnels ongoing
  • o Final breakthrough to sea (nearby Andfjorden) planned for Q2 2025

WATERWAYS ON TRACK

INFRASTRUCTURE FOR WATER-WAYS AND POOLS IN PLACE

TUNNEL INFRASTRUCTURE BELOW POOLS COMPLETED

  • o 8 x vertical inlet shafts to provide pools with fresh seawater (most adjacent pools share one inlet)
  • o 6 x vertical outlet shafts (adjacent pools share one outlet)
  • o Completed sections from pools to tunnels

Illustration and photo: UHPC concrete elements and shafts

STATUS AND PROGRESS – POOLS

  • o Workstream on track: 65% completion per 10 March 2025
  • o UHPC concrete wall elements produced by factory on site
  • o Columns, supports and preparations for wall elements completed for K1 and K3
  • o UHPC wall elements being assembled in K1 – 80% complete

4 POOLS BEING CONSTRUCTED

STATUS AND PROGRESS – HARBOUR

  • o Workstream on track
  • o Temporary breakwater constructed to shield ongoing construction work from waves and currents originating from Andfjorden
  • o Once harbour and port infrastructure are fully completed, temporary section of breakwater will be removed, allowing vessels to enter and operate within the protected harbour.

  • Financials
  • Summary and outlook

AGENDA

  • Kvalnes construction plan follows a four-by-four pool expansion
  • Construction of Phase 1 and shared operational infrastructure for all 12 pools to be finalized by Q2 2025, on time and budget
  • Decision to start Phase 2a construction immediately, reaping construction synergies from continuous process across phases. Retaining personnel and equipment on-site, allowing for optimized resource usage and accelerated execution time
  • Accretive investment opportunity to be further pursued now, prior to pool pits being cemented in:
    • ‒ This includes wall segment joining Phase 1 and Phase 2a, which will reinforce the pools to allow for optimized water flow and fish logistics, as well as preparations for adherence to potential regulatory changes (further described on subsequent pages)

DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS FOR OPTIMIZED POOL UTILISATION AND +20% OUTPUT

New fish logistics system developed in partnership with Cflow Key features of upgraded system

• Originally, Andfjord had planned for splitting between pools to utilize piping going over the walls, one time per life cycle

• Now, with a new design developed together with fish handling experts and core partner Cflow, the company will move fish using a network of piping below the ground

• This revised method imposes less stress on the fish

Further, the revised logistics system enables more flexibility in splittings, meaning that pools will achieve significantly higher utilization (higher average number of fish across

• The method for moving fish entails having a lower water level in the 'receiving' pool versus the 'sending' pool, resulting in a natural flow of water and fish between pools

• This added water pressure means that walls need reinforcing

For Kvalnes in total, the optimizations are expected to give approximately +20% production output

New fish logistics system allows for GENTLE AND LOW-RISK MOVING OF FISH

Note: Illustrative

NEW AND MORE GENTLE LOGISTICS SYSTEM REDUCES OPERATIONAL RISK

  • New fish logistics system allowing for more flexibility in the relocation of fish between pools thanks to increased water flow, with up to 24 times water renewal per day, and new fish transport system
  • Possible to stock more smolt when avoiding the illustrated drops in pool utilization, and thereby increasing production
  • Improved MAB utilization of current license while maintaining optimal farming conditions
  • Better water flow and fish management also means that the system can handle higher densities at the peaks

Expected license utilization through the year based on NEW fish logistics and water flow

ENSURING MORE STABLE, HIGH UTILISATION OF THE CURRENT LICENSE

+20% PRODUCTION VOLUME AT KVALNES

• The Norwegian Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries has proposed changes to the regulations to ensure the sustainable development of aquaculture production on land:

  • The proposals will not affect facilities that have already received permission for farming on land 1
  • The proposal eliminates past confusion about which aquaculture facilities are defined as being "on land"
  • Proposed requirement for disinfection of seawater at water inlet

Proactive upgrades made to all Phase 1 and 2 pools – highly accretive given that it also enables stronger MAB utilization

• Upgrades include treatment chambers for both inlet- and outlet water as well as significant reinforcements to pool concrete structures

• As such, Andfjord is fully prepared to retrofit water treatment equipment in case of future water cleansing requirements

OPTIMIZATIONS ALSO OPEN FOR ADHERENCE TO POTENTIAL REGULATORY CHANGES
