Ongoing strategic review process

  • A strategic review process was announced on 13 January 2025
  • Ambition is to explore growth opportunities and/or increase shareholder value
  • The process will not require capital raising
  • The strategic process is still ongoing and progressing as planned
  • Pareto Securities engaged as a financial advisor
  • Updates will be provided by the end of Q2 2025

Ideal site for robust and healthy smolt

  • Strategically located RAS facility in Ljones, Western Norway, in a region with high farming density (P03)
  • Water temperature and high salmon farming density in the region create demand for robust smolt and postsmolt
  • High farming density allows shorter transport to sea sites, benefiting fish health and logistics
  • The region offers good access to highly skilled and experienced workforce
