GSF - acquires Northern Aquaculture Limited in Shetland

Grieg Seafood ASA's subsidiary Grieg Seafood Hjaltland UK Ltd. has entered into

an agreement to acquire Northern Aquaculture Limited in Shetland. This implies

acquisition of 4 production sites on the west coast of Shetland, with total

combined discharge consent of 2,900 tons.

The acquired production sites fit well into the current production areas of

Grieg Seafood Hjaltland. In addition to securing increased volume and

operational synergies, the transaction is beneficial from a bio security point

of view, and Grieg Seafood Hjaltland will be the sole operator in the areas

concerned.

Grieg Seafood Hjaltland currently has production on 2 of the acquired sites

under a contract growing agreement. This contract growing agreement will be

terminated upon completion of this transaction.

The acquisition price for Northern Aquaculture Limited amounts to GBP 1.108

million (NOK 10 millions). As part of the transaction, Grieg Seafood Hjaltland

is also taking over the equipment leasing with a remaining liability of GBP 0.7

million (NOK 6.4 millions). The total enterprise value of the transaction is GBP

1.8 million or NOK 16.4 million.
