Three transforming actions to enhance financial robustness

HYBRID BOND ISSUE To give strategic flexibility and provide balance sheet robustness

  • Contemplated issuance of Green subordinated perpetual callable Hybrid of NOK 1,500-2,000 million – to be applied to repay Green unsecured bond and add flexibility
  • Provide balance sheet robustness supporting strengthened operations
  • Treated and classified as Equity on the balance sheet, with no dilution

LEASE FINANCE OF SMOLT FACILITY Boost financial flexibility and provide long-dated commitments

  • Grieg Seafood maintains operational control and ability for further expansion at site
  • No significant impact on ability to optimize throughout the value chain and provides for long-dated financial commitment through a 20-year lease

CAPEX OPTIONALITY IN CANADA Creating optionality on investment profile while protecting asset values

  • Developed a plan for reduced capex commitments in Newfoundland, while maintaining optionality and value upside
  • Cautious approach in BC given the persisting political uncertainty with focus on near term cash flow

Reallocating resources to focus on profitable growth in Norway while maintaining optionality in Canada
