Marine Harvest (OSE:MHG, NYSE:MHG): Termination of merger process between Marine Harvest Chile and AquaChile
Reference is made to the stock exchange notice dated 19 January 2015.
The potential merger was subject to a number of conditions including, among
other things, execution of definitive transaction documentations, due diligence
and approvals from relevant competition authorities. The parties have
unfortunately not been able to reach a joint final agreement and the Conditional
Transaction Agreement has been terminated by mutual consent.
MHG still believes in Chile as one of the global centres for salmon farming
going forward. Accordingly, MHG will continue to develop its current farming
assets in Chile through its wholly-owned subsidiary MH Chile. MHG still believes
that consolidation in Chile is a prerequisite for establishing a profitable and
sustainable industry in the region.
