Equity considerations

Q2 Presentation 2025

Equity share is somewhat below the covenant requirement at the end of the quarter, with reference to challenging market conditions and the company being in a build-up phase. A waiver has been obtained from the bank syndicate until the end of Q3. Arctic Fish has no earnings covenants.

The Board has decided to summon an EGM where the Board proposes an equity increase to strengthen the balance sheet.

The proposed equity increase is a private placement of MEUR 35 in which its two largest shareholders, Mowi ASA and Síldarvinnslan, will be invited to participate at a share price on or around market price. The board intends to consider a limited subsequent offering to other shareholders.
