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

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.
