Grieg Seafood ASA: Successful placement of new senior unsecured green bonds

Grieg Seafood ASA ("GSF") has successfully completed a new senior unsecured

green bond issue of NOK 1,000 million with maturity date 25 June 2025. The bond

carries a coupon of 3 months NIBOR + 340 bps p.a. with quarterly interest

payments. The transaction was significantly oversubscribed.

DNB Markets and Nordea acted as Joint Bookrunners and Green Bond Advisors for

the bond issue.

An application will be made for the bonds to be listed on Oslo Stock Exchange.

Commenting on the issuance of Grieg Seafood's first Green Bond, Andreas Kvame,

CEO of Grieg Seafood, said:

«Reducing our environmental footprint and improving fish welfare is not only an

ethical responsibility, it is also key to achieve our operational and financial

targets. We will invest heavily in these areas over the next years, in projects

like keeping the fish longer on land, achieving ASC certifications, reducing

carbon emissions or help commercialize new feed ingredients with lower impact.

We are pleased to partly finance these efforts through a Green Bond."
