FULLMAKT TIL Å FORHØYE AKSJEKAPITALEN AUTHORISATION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO

For å finansiere investeringer og kjøp av virksomhet gjennom kontantemisjoner og tingsinnskudd ble det utstedt en fullmakt til å forhøye aksjekapitalen med inntil 10% av aksjekapitalen i en ekstraordinær generalforsamling avholdt 7 juni 2021. Denne fullmakten løpte frem til 1. september 2021. Styret foreslår at en tilsvarende fullmakt gis med varighet til neste ordinære generalforsamling. Det følger av formålet med fullmakten at styret vil kunne ha behov for å sette eksisterende aksjonærers fortrinnsrett til side, noe fullmakten åpner for.

På denne bakgrunn ønsker styret å foreslå for generalforsamlingen å treffe beslutning om å utstede en fullmakt til å forhøye aksjekapitalen med inntil 10% i samsvar med aksjeloven §10‐14 slik som beskrevet nedenfor.

På bakgrunn av det ovenfor nevnte foreslår styret at generalforsamlingen beslutter å vedta følgende:

  • (i) I henhold til aksjeloven § 10‐14 gis styret fullmakt til å forhøye Selskapets aksjekapital, i én eller flere omganger, med inntil kr 3 062 500.
  • (ii) Aksjeeiernes fortrinnsrett fravikes, jf aksjeloven § 10‐ 5, jf. § 10‐4.
  • (iii) Fullmakten omfatter kapitalforhøyelse mot innskudd i andre eiendeler enn penger og rett til å pådra Selskapet særlige plikter etter aksjeloven § 10‐2.
  • (iv) Fullmakten omfatter ikke kapitalforhøyelse ved fusjon etter aksjeloven § 13‐5.
  • (v) Fullmakten gjelder fra registrering i Foretaksregisteret og frem til Selskapets ordinære generalforsamling i 2023.
  • (vi) Fullmakten omfatter også retten til å gjøre eventuelle endringer i Selskapets vedtekter som kapitalforhøyelsen nødvendiggjør.

FULLMAKT TIL Å ERVERVE EGNE AKSJER – INCENTIVPROGRAM FOR ANSATTE

Styret mener det vil være i Selskapets og aksjonærenes beste interesse å etablere en bonusordning med mulighet for aksjekjøp for å tiltrekke seg og holde på nøkkelpersoner i Selskapet.

Styret ber generalforsamlingen nå om å godta den foreslåtte styrefullmakten til å erverve egne aksjer på inntil NOK 153 250, som tilsvarer ca. 0,5% av Selskapets aksjekapital på datoen for innkallingen til generalforsamling. Fullmakten vil gi bidra til at

INCREASE THE SHARE CAPITAL

8.1 Bakgrunn 8.1 Background

At the extraordinary general assembly June 7th 2021 the board of directors received authorisation to increase the company's share capital with up to 10% to finance investments and acquisitions both through cash contributions and contributions in kind. This authorisation was valid until September 1st 2021. The board of directors proposes that a similar authorisation is granted with validity until next ordinary general assembly. It follows from the purpose of the authorisation that the board can set aside the shareholders' preferential right to a capital increase.

On this basis, the board of directors proposes to the general meeting to grant an authorisation to the board of directors to increase the share capital with up to 10% pursuant to section 10‐ 14 of the Companies Act.

8.2 Forslag til vedtak 8.2 Proposed resolution

Based on the above, the board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves the following:

  • (i) Pursuant to section 10‐14 of the Companies Act, the board of directors is granted an authorisation to increase the share capital, in one or several rounds, by up to NOK 3,062,500. (ii) The shareholders' preferential right is deviated from, cf section 10‐5, cf section 10‐4 of the Companies Act. (iii) The authorization comprises share capital increases against contribution in kind and the right to incur specific obligations on behalf of the Company, cf. Section 10‐2 of the Companies Act. (iv) The power of attorney does not include a decision on a merger pursuant to section 13‐5 of the Companies Act. (v) The authorization shall be effective from the date it is registered in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises and shall be valid until the Company's annual general meeting in 2023.
    • (vi) The power of attorney also includes the right to make any amendments to the Company's articles of association that the share capital increase necessitates.

AUTHORISATION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO ACQUIRE OWN SHARES – INCENTIVE SCHEME FOR EMPLOYEES

9.1 Bakgrunn 9.1 Background

The board believes it will be in the Company's and the shareholders' best interest to attract and retain key employees to the Company through a bonus incentive scheme with a possibility to purchase shares.

The board asks that the general meeting approve the proposed board authorization to acquire own shares with a maximum aggregate value of NOK 153,250, equal to approximately 0.5% of the Company's share capital at the date of the notice to the

Selskapet kan benytte egne aksjer for helt eller delvis oppgjør i forbindelse med det fremtidige incentivprogrammet.

Basert på det ovennevnte ber styret generalforsamlingen om fullmakt til å erverve egne aksjer med det formål at Selskapet skal kunne gjennomførehelt eller delvis oppgjør i aksjer i forbindelse med et fremtidig bonusprogram for nøkkelansatte:

  • (i) Styret gis fullmakt til, ved enten en eller fler anledninger, å erverve, på vegne av Selskapet, egne aksjer med en samlet pålydende verdi på inntil NOK 153 250 (tilsvarende 0,5 % av Selskapets aksjekapital).
  • (ii) Det høyeste beløp som kan betales per aksje er NOK70 og det minste NOK 30.
  • (iii) Erverv og avhendelse av egne aksjer skal benyttes til utstedelse av aksjer til nøkkelansatte i Selskapet i forbindelse med incentivprogram.
  • (iv) Fullmakten gjelder fra tidspunktet fullmakten registreres i Foretaksregisteret, og varer i to år fra datoen for generalforsamlingens vedtak.

Selskapets aksjer er registrert i den papirløse Verdipapirsentralen i Norge (VPS). Styret i selskapet ser det som fordelaktig å kunne kommunisere med Selskapets aksjonærer ved bruk av elektroniske hjelpemidler og gjøre dokumenter tilgjengelige for aksjonærene på Selskapets hjemmeside.

På denne bakgrunn og i henhold til aksjeloven § 5‐11 a, foreslår Styret at generalforsamlingen vedtar å endre vedtektene som følger, ved å legge til et nytt § 8:

"Når dokumenter som gjelder saker som skal behandles på generalforsamlingen er gjort tilgjengelig for aksjeeierne på selskapets internettsider, gjelder ikke aksjelovens krav om at dokumentene skal sendes til aksjeeierne. Dette gjelder også dokumenter som etter lov skal inntas i eller vedlegges innkallingen til generalforsamlingen."

Videre, ettersom Selskapets aksjer er registrert i VPS, foreslår styret at generalforsamlingen vedtar å endre § 4 til å lyde som følger:

"Aksjekapitalen er kr 30.627.113,75 fordelt på 122.508.455 aksjer, hver pålydende kr 0,25. Selskapets aksjer skal være registrert i verdipapirsentralen."

Generalforsamlingen kan gi styret fullmakt til å utdele utbytte. Slik fullmakt er betinget av at selskapet har utbyttekapasitet i henhold til det siste godkjente årsregnskapet.

general meeting. The authorisation will contribute to give the Company the opportunity to use own shares as consideration, in full or in part, in the future bonus incentive scheme.

9.2 Forslag til vedtak 9.2 Proposed resolution

Based on the above, the board requests the general meeting for a power of attorney to acquire own shares in order to give the Company the opportunity to use own shares as consideration, in full or in part, in the future bonus incentive scheme:

  • (i) The board of directors is given an authorization to, on one or several occasions, on behalf of the Company, acquire own shares with a maximum aggregate value of NOK 153,250 (equivalent to 0.5 % of the Company's share capital).
  • (ii) The highest amount that may be paid per share is NOK 70 and the lowest amount is NOK 30.
  • (iii) Acquisition and sale of shares shall be used to issue shares to key employees in the Company in relation to a bonus incentive scheme.
  • (iv) The authorisation is valid from the time of registration in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises and lasts for two years from the date of the general meeting's resolution.

VEDTEKTSENDRINGER AMENDMENT OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

The Company's shares are registered in the paperless Norwegian Central Securities Depositary (VPS). The board of directors of the Company acknowledges the benefit of being able to communicate with the Company's shareholders by way of electronic means and by making documents available to shareholders at the Company's website.

On this basis and in accordance with Section 5‐11(a) of the Companies Act, the Board proposes that the General meeting adopts the following amendment of the Articles of Association, by adding a new paragraph 8:

"Documents related to matters that are to be discussed at the company's general meeting, including documents which pursuant to law shall be included in or enclosed to the notice of the general meeting, are not required to be sent to the shareholders if such documents are available at the company's website."

Further, as the Company's shares are registered in the VPS, the Board proposes that the General meeting amends section 4 in the Articles of Association to read as follows:

"The share capital is NOK 30,627,113.75 divided into 122,508,455 shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 0.25. The Company's shares shall be registered in the Central Securities Depositary."

FULLMAKT TIL Å UTDELE UTBYTTE POWER OF ATTORNEY TO DISTRIBUTE DIVIDEND

The general meeting may authorise the board to distribute dividends. Such authorisation is conditional on the Company having a dividend capacity in accordance with the most recently approved annual accounts.

En fullmakt til styret til å utdele utbytte vil gi selskapet fleksibilitet og medføre at selskapet, med utgangspunkt i utbyttekapasitet i henhold til det siste godkjente årsregnskap, kan utdele flere utbytter uten å måtte innkalle til ekstraordinær generalforsamling.

Innenfor de rammer som følger av fullmakt og aksjeloven, avgjør styret om fullmakten skal benyttes, om den eventuelt skal benyttes én eller flere ganger, størrelsen på det enkelte utbyttet mv.

Styret foreslår derfor at generalforsamlingen fatter følgende vedtak:

    1. I henhold til aksjeloven § 8‐2 (2) gis styret fullmakt til å beslutte utdeling av utbytte på grunnlag av selskapets årsregnskap for 2021.
    1. Utbyttet er begrenset til maks 1,5 kr per aksje.
    1. Fullmakten gjelder fra 9 juni 2022 og frem til selskapets ordinære generalforsamling i 2023, likevel ikke lenger enn til 30. juni 2023.

Måsøval AS er et aksjeselskap underlagt aksjelovens regler. Selskapet har per dagen for denne innkallingen en aksjekapital på kr 30.627.113,75 fordelt på 122.508.455 aksjer hver med en nominell verdi på kr 0,25. Hver aksje har én stemme på generalforsamlingen. Aksjene har også for øvrig like rettigheter.

Skjema for tildeling av fullmakt, med nærmere instruksjoner for bruk av fullmaktsskjemaet, er vedlagt denne innkallingen. Utfylte fullmaktsskjemaer kan sendes til Selskapet per e‐post til [email protected]. Det bes om at fullmakter er sendt slik at de er Selskapet i hende innen 7. juni 2022 kl. 12:00.

Dersom aksjer er registrert i VPS på en forvalter, jf aksjeloven § 4‐4, jf allmennaksjeloven § 4‐10, og den reelle aksjeeieren ønsker å avgi stemmer for sine aksjer, må aksjene før generalforsamlingen registreres på en separat VPS‐konto i den reelle aksjeeierens navn.

En aksjeeier har rett til å fremsette forslag til beslutninger i saker på dagsordenen og til å kreve at styremedlemmer og daglig leder på generalforsamlingen gir tilgjengelige opplysninger om forhold som kan innvirke på bedømmelsen av (i) godkjennelse av årsregnskapet og årsberetningen, (ii) saker som er forelagt generalforsamlingen til avgjørelse og (iii) Selskapets økonomiske stilling, herunder virksomheten i andre selskaper som Selskapet deltar i, og andre saker som generalforsamlingen skal behandle, med mindre de opplysninger som kreves ikke kan gis uten uforholdsmessig skade for Selskapet.

An authorisation for the board of directors to distribute dividends will give the Company flexibility and entails that the Company, based on dividend capacity in accordance with the most recently approved annual accounts, may distribute dividends on several occasions without having to convene an extraordinary general meeting.

Within the framework of the authorisation and the Companies Act, the board of directors decides whether the authorisation is to be used, whether it is to be used one or several times, the size of the dividend in question, etc.

The board of directors therefore proposes that the general meeting makes the following resolution:

    1. In accordance with Section 8‐2 (2) of the Companies Act, the board of directors is granted a power of attorney to resolve to distribute dividend on the basis of the company's annual accounts for 2021.
    1. The dividend shall be limited to maximum NOK 1,5 per share.
    1. The power of attorney is valid from 9 June 2022 and until the company's Annual General Meeting in 2023, but no longer than 30 June 2023.

The pillars of the Group's strategy are growth, efficient and cost-effective production of fish for human consumption, good fish health and high quality harvesting. In our opinion future growth in the Norwegian aquaculture industry must be based on sustainable principles, both in terms of environmental considerations and social responsibility. Måsøval wants to actively contribute to the further development of the industry in a sustainable direction.

The Group's fish farming operations are located in Central Norway with a focus on the area around Frøya, Nordmøre and Sunnmøre. The operations are based on the Group's own licenses with 12,694 tonnes of maximum allowed biomass ("MAB"), and three additional licenses totalling 2,340 tonnes MAB through co-location agreements with two external partners. In addition, the Group has four development licenses totalling 3,120 tonnes MAB in connection with the Aqua Semi development concept, which is awaiting final investment decision.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN 2021

In 2021, Måsøval has strengthened its position as a future-oriented and growth-ambitious fish farming group. The year was characterized by record high production, good fish health, several investments in sustainable growth and strategic initiatives. The main highlights of the year were:

  • A record turnover of NOK 1,236 million, an operating profit of NOK 280 million and a profit before tax of NOK 210 million.
  • Harvested 16,888 tonnes of salmon gutted weight (GW).
  • Successfully listed on the Euronext Growth stock exchange in June 2021
  • Acquired 65% of Pure Norwegian Seafood AS, thereby establishing the Group as an integrated salmon farming company with its own harvesting facility and sales organization.
  • Acquired Pure Farming AS, including one license of 780 tonnes MAB.
  • Acquired the operational activities of the Vartdal Group including 4 licenses, two smolt and post-smolt facilities and harvesting operations.

As part of the financing of the Group's growth ambitions, Måsøval AS carried out two capital increases of in total NOK 900 million in 2021. In addition, the Group's net interest-bearing debt has increased from NOK 775 million to NOK 1,925 million. The total credit facility was increased from NOK 1,050 million to NOK 2,150 million. Furthermore, to strengthen the Groups financial possibilities the board does not propose a dividend for 2021.

SUSTAINABLE FOCUS AND ORGANIC GROWTH POTENTIAL

AQUA SEMI

At the end of 2018, the Directorate of Fisheries awarded 4 development licenses (3,120 tonnes MAB) to Måsøval for the development of Aqua Semi. The licenses represent a recognition of the project, where Måsøval and the Vard Group will develop a semi-closed fish farm dimensioned for high-current sea areas, designed to reduce the risk of lice and diseases. When located in high-current locations, the facility will increase the geographical utilization of Norwegian waters for fish farming and reduces the environmental footprint of operations.

The environmental conditions in high-current localities are attractive for salmon due to high water circulation. With steel skirts down to 25 meters, Måsøval expects a significant reduction in lice infestation, also reducing the potential for contagion from neighbouring farms. This will represent a substantial contribution to increased fish welfare, again leading to a sustainable growth in biomass.

After the development permits were awarded, Måsøval and the Vard Group have done considerable work to complete the concept design. Final detailed engineering will be completed during the summer of 2022. The goal is for the first release of fish into the sea to take place during the spring of 2024.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS' REPORT

INVESTMENT IN POST-SMOLT FACILITIES

In December 2021 Måsøval acquired the operational assets of Vartdal Invest AS, including two post-smolt facilities in Vartdal, Sunnmøre. In addition, Måsøval is evaluating opportunities to develop post-smolt in Production Area 6.

The Vartdal facilities have an expected production of 1,450 tonnes post-smolt.

The post-smolt projects are considered an important strategic move to increase the flexibility of the Group's smolt strategy and production plan, reduce biological risk, increase utilisation of licenses at sea and ensure access to post-smolt for both ordinary fish farming facilities and Aqua Semi.

FISH HEALTH

The Group has a strong focus on fish health and fish welfare. Good biological control, proven through low mortality, strong biomass growth and absence of disease are crucial both for production efficiency and for safeguarding our ethical responsibility as an animal farmer and socially responsible company.

For several years, Måsøval has worked systematically to improve fish welfare throughout the production cycle, from broodstock to harvest. The work has generally been based on the following objectives:

  • Reduce mortality
  • Increase biomass growth and thus reduce the residence time in open sea cages
  • Optimize preventive and reactive measures against sea lice
  • Improve biosecurity
  • Ensure stable good water quality in the hatcheries
  • Increased smolt quality
  • Increased focus on and improved systems for risk management

The work is generally defined through strategic projects and anchored in the day-to-day operations of our facilities as well as through strategic collaborations with external actors.

The Group has demonstrated strong development in terms of fish health and welfare over the last few years. For sea-based production, the 12 months rolling mortality rate in 2021 was significantly less than the average in Production Area 6, while the growth measured in TGC has increased from 2.55 to 3.15 in the period 2016 – 2021. In recent years, the Group has improved the efficiency of its measures against sea lice, with cleaner fish, mechanical systems for sea lice treatment, increased biomass growth (reduced exposure), strengthened monitoring and competence development as the most important individual elements.

STATEMENT OF THE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS THE INCOME STATEMENT

The Group achieved a record high turnover of NOK 1,236 million in 2021 compared to NOK 928 million in 2020. The Group's operating profit was NOK 280 million (2020: NOK 221 million). The Group's annual profit was NOK 164 million (2020: NOK 199 million).

In 2021, the Group had interest expenses of NOK 25 million (2020: NOK 16 million). The net of financial items was a loss of NOK 63 million in 2021 (2020: gain of NOK 21 million). The profit in 2020 comes from the sale of shares in Norway Royal Salmon to NTS ASA.

The parent company's annual profit in 2021 was NOK 147 million (2020: NOK 158 million). The operating profit was NOK 241 million against NOK 219 million in 2020. Most of the Group's core activities take place in the parent company and in Pure Norwegian Seafood AS.

THE FISH FARMING BUSINESS

The Group operates licenses with an MAB of 15,034 tonnes at the end of 2021. This includes licences of 3,712 tonnes purchased in 2021 (Pure Farming AS and Aqua Farms Vartdal AS) and 2,340 tonnes through colocation agreements with Aquagen AS (1,560 tonnes) and Trøndelag county (780 tonnes).

The majority of the Group's financial result derives from the fish farming segment. The segment harvested 16,888 tonnes in 2021 (2020: 16,253 tonnes), an increase of 3.9%. For the harvested volume, the segment achieved an operating profit per kg of NOK 18.8 (2020: NOK 15.4). The price achieved by the segment for sold salmon per kg ended at NOK 58.0 (2020: NOK 52.8), while production costs per kg increased to NOK 39.1 (2020: NOK 37.4).

THE SALES AND PROCESSING BUSINESS

The Group operates its own harvesting facility and sales organisation through Pure Norwegian Seafood AS (Pure), which was included in the Group from June 2021. From June to December 2021, Pure harvested 6,807 tonnes of fish and achieved a profit of 1.9 per kg.

In December 2021, the Group acquired a second harvesting facility in Vartdal, Western Seaproducts AS.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION

At the end of 2021, the Group's total assets was NOK 3,869 million up from NOK 1,668 million at the end of 2020.

The main reason for the increase in assets is the acquisition of Pure Norwegian Seafood AS, Stokkøy Skjell AS, Pure Farming AS and the Vartdal Group. The Group's total biomass has been increased by NOK 137 million due to the build-up of biomass to utilize new MAB and the acquisitions made. Trade receivables have increased by NOK 96 million due to significantly higher sales prices of salmon and higher volume and activity at the end of 2021 compared to 2020.

Bank deposits increased by NOK 100 million in 2021.

The Group's net interest-bearing debt per 31.12.2021 was NOK 1,925 million, up from NOK 775 million at the end of the previous year. The increase in interestbearing debt is mainly due to the acquisition of the previously mentioned companies, the acquisition of minorities in Gunnar Espnes Fiskeoppdrett AS and Måsøval Fishfarm AS, and acquisitions made in June 2021 and December 2021 for a total consideration of 1,659 million.

The net increase in equity of NOK 859 million is due to a net profit in the period of NOK 164 million, the acquisition of the minority's shares in Gunnar Espnes Fiskeoppdrett and Måsøval Fishfarm, and two capital increases with gross proceeds of NOK 900 million. The Group's equity ratio at the end of 2021 was 34.9% compared to 29.5% at the end of 2020.

The parent company's total assets was NOK 3,590 million at the end of the year (2020: NOK 1,632 million). The equity ratio in the parent company as of 31.12.2021 was 36.0% (2020: 29.3%).

CASH FLOWS

During the year, the Group had a positive cash flow from operating activities totalling NOK 59 million (down from NOK 131 million in 2020). The positive cash flow is mainly due to profit before tax expense of NOK 210 million, a decrease in current receivables of NOK 108 million and an increase in trade payables of NOK 110 million. Net increase in inventories of NOK 154 million, an increase in trade receivables of NOK 96 million and taxes paid of NOK 13 million have had a negative impact on cash flow.

The Group's net cash flow from investing activities in 2021 amounted to NOK – 1,954 million (2020: NOK -563 million). The majority of this is related to acquisitions of NOK 1,909 million (2020: NOK 0).

Cash flows from financing activities were NOK 1,945 million in 2021 (2020: NOK 325 million). This cash flow is attributable to new long-term debt of NOK 1,367 million and equity capital increases of NOK 900 million (NOK 878 million after expenses). Repayments of borrowings, net change in overdraft facility, payment of dividends and Group contributions contributed negatively with NOK -301 million to the cash flow from financing activities.

Bank deposits at the end of the period increased by NOK 100 million.

GOING CONCERN

The board of Måsøval AS confirms that the annual accounts have been prepared based on the going concern assumption in accordance with the Accounting Act §3-3a. This is justified by the Group's results, financial position and budgets.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The Group has a strong focus on sustainable biological production and fish welfare and has initiated or participated in the following projects:

  • Aqua Semi. A project to develop fish farms that facilitate sustainable growth in areas where current aquaculture technology has not been possible to utilize. In connection with the project, MAS has received development licenses with MAB of 3,120 tonnes. As of 31 December 2021, an investment of NOK 31.1 million has been capitalized on the project.
  • Participation in a number of projects concerning lice control, automatic lice counting and infectious diseases.
  • Several internal projects to improve feeding, lice control, infection management and the use of digital tools for improved monitoring and operations.

OPERATIONAL RISK AND RISK MANAGEMENT

THE FISH FARMING BUSINESS

There are several types of risk associated with the Group's business activities, of which the risk of negative, biological events concerning salmon in sea normally constitutes the risk with the highest potential impact on the Group's activities and results.

The biological challenges of the industry are related to smolt quality, mortality, disease development, sea lice, parasites, algae outbreaks, low oxygen levels, variation in sea temperature and the quality of fish harvested. In 2021, Måsøval avoided persistent disease outbreaks for large parts of the year, but experienced PD (pancreas disease) at several locations in the autumn of 2021. The outbreak was managed satisfactorily.

The Group has a strong focus on identifying causes of biological challenges and implementing necessary mitigation measures. In recent years, Måsøval has invested in securing inhouse capacity for e.g., lice handling, silage capacity, wellboat services and service boats.

In 2021, a dedicated fish cleaning manager was hired to improve the cleanliness of the Group's fish. All our

employees have a strong focus on fish welfare for each species involved in the production.

All sites are continuously monitored to ensure that they are most optimal for salmon production. Måsøval has invested in new equipment that maintain a good standard, and which satisfies our own and the public's requirements in relation to operations, fish health and risk of potential escape.

Risk management is a key responsibility of the management team. The Group has introduced routines and systems for monitoring key risk factors in all business segments. Great emphasis is placed on audits of facilities in accordance with the quality manual and defined standards at the facilities.

The Group transfers two separate generations of smolt to our sea-sites each year and has a strategy of having at least two biologically independent sites per generation. This reduces the risk of a major negative biological event and further contributes to the Group's growth. The Group is continuously working to increase predictability in the terms and permits for its production and seeks to reduce any regulatory risk through continuous dialogue with the relevant administrative bodies.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS' REPORT

The Group's financial position and future development largely depend on the price of farmed salmon. The price has historically been subject to significant fluctuations. The Group's strategy is not to hedge the price of salmon as this could result in an increased risk if a combination of unfavourable price development and a major biological event should occur.

The Aqua Semi development is a complex project. There may be uncertainty associated with the estimated total investment cost and time of completion of the project. The uncertainty associated with these factors was intensified as a result of the corona situation and large currency fluctuations in 2021. The company has implemented measures to reduce this risk by carrying out a detailed engineering of the plant before a final investment decision is made and the construction contract is signed.

FINANCIAL RISK AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group faces various financial risks, including currency risk, interest rate risk, credit and liquidity risk. The Group monitors the degree of risk and has implemented procedures in order to reduce the risk to an acceptable level. This mainly relates to Pure Norwegian Seafood AS.

CURRENCY RISK

The Group is exposed to currency risk through its subsidiary Pure Norwegian Seafood which has a large part of its sales in foreign currency. Developments in exchange rates thus entail both direct and indirect economic risk. The company has currency accounts for all significant foreign exchange revenues. The currency accounts are used to reduce risk when actively managing the time of alternations. All foreign exchange revenues linked to fixed-price contracts are hedged through the subscription of forward contracts. Conditions for the use of hedging when posting futures contracts are met and recognition of the income statement is compared with the fuse object.

INTEREST RATE RISK

The Group's debt carries floating interest rates, which implies that the Group is exposed to changes in interest rates. Floating interest rates have been chosen for two reasons: i) floating interest rates are considered to provide the lowest interest rate in the long run, and ii) floating interest rates provide greater flexibility in dealing with the Group's changes in financing needs as caused by the Group's growth ambitions.

The subsidiary Pure Norwegian Seafood's loan portfolio currently has a combination of floating and fixed

interest bonds. The company's interest rate sensitivity is adapted to an appropriate hedging level when using interest rate swaps.

CREDIT RISK

The Group is exposed to credit risk mainly through its subsidiary Pure Norwegian Seafood AS. The credit risk is continuously monitored by Pure's management and most accounts are secured through credit insurance.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Liquidity risk is a product of the Group's earnings, financial position and available financing in the capital markets and represents the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its current financial obligations. The largest single factor associated with short term liquidity risk will be fluctuations in salmon prices. Longer term (> 6 months), a major, negative biological event at sea will have the largest effect on the liquidity. At the end of 2021 and through 2021 Måsøval has complied with all of its loan covenants. Overall, the Group's liquidity risk is considered to be at an acceptable level.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Group has implemented a system for internal control under which all balance sheet items in the accounts are reconciled on regular basis. Reports have been developed to uncover key figures that deviate from expectations. These are reviewed on a monthly basis.

Måsøval Eiendom AS has taken out a board liability insurance covering all subsidiaries owned more than 50%. The insurance covers the insured's liability for asset losses for claims against the insured during the insurance period as a result of a liability action or omission of the secured in property of the general manager, board member, member of management or equivalent governing body of the Group.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Måsøval will ensure long-term profitability through sustainable food production. The Group exercises its social responsibility by putting sustainable development of food production first.

Our responsibility as a participant in the industry is linked to the sustainability work in the world around us. The company will therefore have an increased focus on linking its own activities to national and supranational initiatives, such as the UN's sustainability goals and the EU's taxonomy.

An overview of how we take social responsibility is available in the annual reports chapter 3.

Topics within social responsibility that are discussed in this report include:

  • Environmental responsibility
  • Social responsibility
  • Corporate governance
  • Future work in the area

The Group focuses on contributing to the local communities that make land and sea available for our operations. This is done mainly through three areas:

  • Sponsorship: Support local activities with a focus on children and young people.
  • Local sourcing: Emphasizes finding suppliers in the local areas where possible
  • Workforce: Offer employment to people from the local community

The Group has zero tolerance for corruption. This is controlled by ensuring that all payments are approved by at least two people and that all major agreements are negotiated by a team of at least two people. In connection with processes involving licenses, permits and other framework conditions we also have routines that involves multiple persons to ensure that all rules and regulations are adhered to.

The Group pollutes the external environment to a limited extent. Our sea sites use onshore electricity, and the Group was among the first to implement an electrification process for the sea bases

WORK ENVIRONMENT

As of 31 December 2021, the Group had 221 full-time employees. Of these, 112 work in the parent company Måsøval AS. The parent company is headquartered on Frøya.

The aquaculture industry is an industry that has traditionally been dominated by men. As of 31 December 2021, the proportion of women in the Group was 17.5% and the proportion of women in the parent company Måsøval AS was 17.6%. The Group's management consists of 6 men and two women. The Group's board comprise of one woman and three men.

The Group shall be a good and safe workplace for all employees. There shall be equality between women and men and there shall be no discrimination based on sex, ethnicity, national origin, skin colour, religion, disability or for other reasons. This is followed up through an annual employee survey. The survey is reviewed at

all levels of the Group and areas for improvement are identified and measures are implemented where necessary.

Sick leave for 2021 in the Group amounted to 4,8% (2020: 5.7%). 14 injuries were registered in the Group in 2021. One of these were a serious injury. The Group has a strong focus on correct reporting of accidents and near misses and works systematically to reduce the risk of accidents.

MARKET CONDITIONS AND THE PROSPECTS AHEAD

2021 was an exciting year for Måsøval and the Norwegian salmon industry. Despite the corona crisis, the year ended with record high exports of Norwegian salmon. The company has little influence on the salmon price and the main focus is to ensure low production costs to ensure robustness against fluctuations in the salmon price.

Prices going forward look strong and sector financial analysts expect continued strong prices through 2022 and 2023.

The pandemic has had an impact on the value chains that Måsøval is a part of. Continued upward pressure on our costs including feed, are seen. In addition, the Group observe strained value chains and some delivery problems, in particular to technical equipment, and challenges with the delivery of technical equipment for new builds. Måsøval has not had any problems with access to feed and roe, and the most important suppliers expect to be able to deliver in 2022 as well.

The ongoing war in Ukraine causes further uncertainty regarding access to raw materials. This situation can affect both planned purchases of equipment and purchase prices in particular on feed and transportation.

The Group expects a healthy growth rate in 2022 and expects to build biomass to utilize the purchased 2,936 tonnes MAB from the Vartdal Group and to utilise the new post-smolt facilities.

The board's expectations for the future are generally positive.

EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

There are no significant events after the balance sheet date.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting Act of 17.07.1998 and generally accepted accounting principles in Norway.

BASIS FOR CONSOLIDATION

The Group's consolidated financial statements comprise Måsøval AS and companies in which Måsøval AS has a controlling interest. A controlling interest is normally obtained when the Group owns more than 50% of the shares in the company and can exercise control over the company. Minority interests are included in the Group's equity. Transactions between group companies have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statement. The consolidated financial statement has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting principles for both parent and subsidiary.

COMPANIES CONSOLIDATED IN THE GROUP'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT

  • Måsøval AS
  • Måsøval Åsen AS
  • Måsøval Settefisk AS
  • Eidsvaag Akva AS
  • Pure Farming AS from June 2021
  • Pure Norwegian Seafood AS from June 2021
  • Stokkøy Skjell AS from April 2021
  • Aqua Farms Vartdal, Urke Fiskeoppdrett AS, Vartdal Fiskeoppdrett AS, Vartdal Fryseri AS and Western Seaproducts is consolidated with balance per 31st December 2021

The cost method is used as a principle for investments in subsidiaries and associated companies in the company accounts. The cost price is increased when funds are provided through a capital increase or when group contributions are made to subsidiaries. Dividends received are initially recognized in the income statement as income. Dividends that exceed the share of retained earnings after the acquisition are recorded as a reduction of the acquisition cost. Dividends and group contributions from subsidiaries are recognized in the same year as the subsidiary allocates the amount. Dividends from other companies are recognized as financial income when the dividend is approved.

An associate is an entity in which the Group has a significant influence but does not exercise control the management of its finances and operations (normally when the Group owns 20%- 50% of the company). In the consolidated financial statements investments in associated companies are accounted for using the equity method. Use of the equity method implies that the book value in the balance sheet corresponds to the share of

equity in the associated company, adjusted for any remaining excess values from the acquisition and unrealized internal gains. The profit share in the income statement is based on the share of profit after tax in the associated company, adjusted for amortization of excess values and unrealized gains. In the income statement, the profit share is presented under financial items.

When the Group's share of a loss exceeds the Group's investment in an associate, the amount carried in the Group's balance sheet is reduced to zero and further losses are not recognised unless the Group has an obligation to cover any such loss.

CONSOLIDATION PRINCIPLES

The purchase method is applied when accounting for business combinations. Companies which have been bought or sold during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date when control is achieved and until the date when control ceases.

In the consolidated financial statements the line item shares in subsidiaries is replaced by the subsidiary's assets and liabilities. The consolidated financial statements are prepared as if the group were one financial unit. Transactions, unrealized profits and balances between the companies in the group are eliminated.

Acquired subsidiaries are recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on the parent company's acquisition cost. Acquisition cost is allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities in the subsidiary, which are recorded in the consolidated financial statements at fair value at the time of acquisition. Any excess value in addition to what can be attributed to identifiable assets and liabilities is recognized in the balance sheet as goodwill. Goodwill is treated as a residual and recognized in the balance sheet with the share observed in the acquisition transaction. Excess values in the consolidated financial statements are amortized over the expected useful lives of the acquired assets.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

As of 2021, the Group changed the accounting principle regarding the classification of overhead costs in order to adapt to the industry standard. Overhead costs have been included in the production cost up to and including 2020. As of 2021, administration costs are separated from the production costs. The effect of this change in accounting principle is that the value of the biomass was reduced by NOK 13,0 million and the effect was carried against other equity.

USE OF ESTIMATES

Preparation of accounts in accordance with the Accounting Act requires the use of accounting estimates. Furthermore, the

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

application of the company's accounting principles requires management to exercise judgement. Areas that to a large extent contain such judgemental assessments, a high degree of complexity or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant for the annual accounts are described in the notes.

CO-LOCATION AGREEMENTS.

Agreements have been entered into on co-location between group companies and external licence holders. See note 15 for further information.

SALES REVENUE

Revenue from the sale of goods and services is valued at the fair value of the consideration, net after deduction of VAT, returns, discounts and other discounts. Sales of fish are recognized in the income statement when the fish has been harvested and packed in boxes and picked up by the carrier (Ex Works). Services are recognized as income over time during the period in which the services are rendered. Most of the group's sales of services take place on the basis of accrued time and an agreed hourly rate.

CLASSIFICATION OF BALANCE SHEET ITEMS

Assets intended for long term ownership or use have been classified as non-current assets. Assets relating to the trading cycle have been classified as current assets. Other receivables are classified as current assets if they are to be repaid within one year after the transaction date. Similar criteria apply to liabilities. First year's installments on long term liabilities and long term receivables are, however, not classified as short term liabilities and current assets.

PURCHASE COST

The purchase cost of assets includes the cost price of the asset, adjusted for bonuses, discounts and other rebates received, and purchase costs (freight, customs fees, public fees which are non-refundable and any other direct purchase costs). Purchases in foreign currencies are reflected in the balance sheet at the exchange rate at the transaction date. Purchase cost of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets also includes direct expenses to prepare the asset for use, such as expenses for testing the asset.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL

Goodwill has arisen in connection with the acquisition of a subsidiary. Goodwill is amortized over its expected useful life. Expenses for own development activities are expensed on an ongoing basis. Expenses for other intangible assets are capitalized to the extent that a future economic benefit related to the development of an identifiable intangible asset can be identified and the expenses can be measured reliably. Otherwise, such expenses are expensed on an ongoing basis. Capitalized development is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its economic life.

FIXED ASSETS

Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis at residual value over the expected useful lives of the fixed assets. In the event of a change in the depreciation plan, the effect is distributed over the remaining depreciation period (the "breakpoint method"). Maintenance of fixed assets is expensed under operating costs. Expenses and improvements are added to the fixed asset's cost price and depreciated in line with the fixed asset. The difference between maintenance and cost/improvement is calculated in relation to the condition of the fixed asset at the time of acquisition.

Leased fixed assets are capitalized as fixed assets if the lease is considered to be a financial lease.

OTHER LONG-TERM EQUITY INVESTMENTS

The cost method is used as a principle for investments in other shares etc. Dividends are initially accounted for as financial income, when the dividend has been approved. If the distributions significantly exceed the share of retained earnings after the purchase, the excess is recorded as a reduction in the cost price.

IMPAIRMENT OF FIXED ASSETS

If there is an indication that the book value of a fixed asset is higher than the fair value, a test for impairment is performed. The test is performed for the lowest level of fixed assets that have independent cash flows. If the book value is higher than both sales value and value in use (present value for continued use/ownership), a write-down is made to the higher of sales value and value in use. Previous write-downs, with the exception of write-downs of goodwill, are reversed if the conditions for the write-down are no longer present.

INVENTORY

Inventory is valued at the lower of acquisition cost (according to the FIFO principle) and fair value. Fish in sea (biological assets) and frozen fish are valued at the lowest value of the expected net sales value on the balance sheet date and full production cost. Acquisition cost for biological assets consists of expenses for feed, direct wages, other direct and indirect production costs. A generation of fish has a 24-month cycle, of which the last two to six months go to fallow before new release of hatchery fish. Indirect costs are attributed to biological assets in the first 18 months of the generation's 24-month cycle. The overhead costs are excluded from the production costs from 2021, see separate section on changes in accounting principles.

Feed stocks are accounted for at the lower of acquisition cost and fair value. Fair value is the estimated selling price less necessary expenses for completion and sale.

RECEIVABLES

Accounts receivables are recognised in the balance sheet after deductions for provisions for expected losses. Provisions for losses are made on the basis of an individual assessment of the receivables and an additional provision to cover other foreseeable losses. Significant financial problems with the customer, the probability that the customer will go bankrupt or undergo financial restructuring, and deferrals and deficiencies in payments are considered indicators that trade receivables have been impaired.

Other receivables, both current receivables and capital receivables, are recognised at the lower of nominal and fair value. Fair value is the present value of expected future payments. However, no discounting is made when the effect of discounting is insignificant for the accounts. Provisions for losses are assessed in the same way as for trade receivables.

INVESTMENTS IN LISTED SHARES

Short-term investments in listed shares are booked at market value. The value in the balance sheet corresponds to the market value of the investments per 31.12. Dividends received, and realized and unrealized gains / losses, are recognized in the income statement as financial items.

FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING

Short-term investments in listed shares are booked at market value. The value in the balance sheet corresponds to the market value of the investments per 31.12. Dividends received, and realized and unrealized gains / losses, are recognized in the income statement as financial items.

FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING

Apart from the subsidiary Pure Norwegian Seafood (PNS) neither the company nor the group uses any kind of forward contracts or other financial derivatives. In Pure the Hedging Principle is applied when accounting for financial instruments that satisfy requirements for such treatment.

DEBT

Debt, with the exception of certain provisions for liabilities, is recognized in the balance sheet at the nominal debt amount.

PENSIONS

The company has various pension schemes. The pension schemes are financed through payments to insurance companies, with the exception of the AFP scheme. The parent company only has contribution plans.

In the case of contribution plans, the company pays contributions to an insurance company. The company has no further payment obligation after the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as payroll costs. Any prepaid contributions are capitalized as an asset (pension

funds) to the extent that the contributions can be refunded or reduce future payments.

The AFP scheme is an unsecured performance-based multicompany scheme. Such a scheme is in fact a defined benefit plan, but is treated in the accounts as a defined contribution plan as a result of the scheme's administrator not providing sufficient information to calculate the obligation in a reliable manner. Måsøval Åsen AS participates in the AFP scheme.

TAX

The tax expense in the income statement includes both tax payable for the period and change in deferred tax. Deferred tax is calculated on the basis of the temporary differences that exist between accounting and tax values, as well as any tax losses carried forward at the end of the financial year. Taxincreasing and tax-reducing temporary differences that reverse or can reverse in the same period have been offset. The entry of deferred tax assets on net tax-reducing differences that have not been settled and losses carried forward are justified by assumed future earnings.

Deferred tax and tax assets that can be recognized in the balance sheet are entered net in the balance sheet.

Tax deductions on group contributions made and taxes on received group contributions, which are entered as a reduction of the capitalized amount on investment in subsidiaries, are entered directly against tax in the balance sheet (against tax payable if the group contribution has effect on tax payable, and against deferred tax if the group contribution has effect on deferred tax). Deferred tax in both the company accounts and the consolidated accounts is accounted for at the nominal amount.

CASH FLOW STATEMENT

The cash flow statement is prepared according to the indirect method. Cash and cash equivalents include cash, bank deposits and other short-term liquid investments, which can be immediately converted into known cash amounts with an insignificant exchange rate risk and a remaining term of less than three months from the date of acquisition.

Facilities under development are included in Farming facilities with NOK 27,102,548. Development costs have been reduced by NOK 6,058,020 in grants/R&D incentive schemes (no: SkatteFUNN).

Facilities under development refer to the Aqua Semi project. In 2019, Måsøval was awarded 4 development licenses to develop the project. The concept is a partially submersible, semi-closed, production unit for salmon built in steel with a production volume of 75,000 m3 . The unit will be located at the Fagerholmen site in Frøyfjorden when it is completed. The project plans to complete the detailed engineering study by the summer of 2021 and sign a contract for construction with a development partner during 2021.

The plant is scheduled to be completed and taken into use in 2024. The plant will not be depreciated before completion.

LEASING

The Group applies NRS 14 Leases, and the leases mainly consist of fish farms and floating installations, boats and movable property with different lease terms. When entering into a contract, it is assessed whether an agreement contains a lease agreement that gives the Group the right to control the use of an identified asset. If the lease is identified as such, assets and related liabilities are recognized at the start of the lease. The Group determines the lease as the non-cancellable lease, together with periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or a period covered by an option to terminate the lease if it is reasonably safely exercised. Leases for the first twelve months after the balance sheet date are classified as current liabilities.

RIGHT TO USE ASSETS

The group recognizes property rights on the start date of the lease. The right of use of the asset is initially measured at acquisition cost, and subsequently at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and write-downs. The right to use assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset's estimated useful life, and is subject to impairment testing.

LEASE OBLIGATIONS

The lease obligation is initially measured at the present value of the lease payment that is not paid at the beginning, discounted with the interest implied in the lease, or, if it can not be easily determined, the Group's marginal borrowing rate as discounting which is generally the case for the Group. The rental fees include fixed payments and variable rental payments that depend on an index or interest rate. The lease obligation is subsequently increased by the interest cost of the lease obligation and reduced by the lease payment made. It is re-measured when there is a change in future leases as a result of a change in an index or interest rate, or when it is appropriate, changes in the assessment of whether it is reasonably safe to use an extension option or whether a termination option is reasonably certain not to to be exercised. Short-term lease and lease of assets with low value.

The group does not capitalize leases that have a lease period of 12 months or less from the start date and do not contain a call option. Leases that are considered low-value assets, primarily IT and office equipment, are not capitalized. Leases related to short-term leases and low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in the income statement.
