• II. The board may decide that shareholders' preference rights with respect to the new shares may be waived.
• III. The authorisation also covers the raising of capital through contributions of assets other than money, etc, and the right to allow the company to assume specific liabilities, cf. Section 10-2 of the Public Limited Companies Act, and to raise capital in the event of a merger pursuant to Section 13-5 of the Public Limited Companies Act.
• IV. The authorisation is valid until the 2016 AGM or 30 June 2016 at the latest.
• V. The board is authorised to make such amendments to the Articles of Association as are necessary in connection with the share capital increase."

13. Resolution authorising the board to buy back the company's own shares

The AGM of 4 June 2014 authorised the board to buy back shares in the company up to a limit of 10 per cent of existing share capital. This authorisation may be used to buy back company shares to meet liabilities associated with share-based incentive schemes for senior executives and as a tool to return funds to the company's shareholders. The board proposes that the authorisation be renewed.

With reference to the above, the board proposes that the AGM pass the following resolution:

• I. Pursuant to Section 9-4 of the Public Limited Companies Act, the board is authorised to purchase up to 10,029,999 of the company's own shares with a combined face value of NOK 2,507,499.75.

Attachment 2 – Statement and guidelines for the determination of remuneration and other benefits

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS' STATEMENT RELATING TO THE DETERMINATION OF REMUNERATION AND OTHER BENEFITS PAYABLE TO SENIOR EXECUTIVES OF SALMAR ASA IN 2015

1. INTRODUCTION

Pursuant to Section 6-16a of the Public Limited Companies Act, the board of directors of SalMar ASA (the Company) hereby issues the following statement, containing guidelines for the determination of salaries and other benefits payable to the CEO and other senior executives of the Company (jointly Senior Executives) for the 2015 financial year. The declaration was approved by the board of directors of SalMar ASA on 16 April 2015. In accordance with the requirements stipulated in Section 6-16a and Section 5-6(3) of the Public Limited Companies Act, these guidelines are presented to the annual general meeting of shareholders in SalMar ASA, to be held on 2 June 2015, for a consultative vote, with the exception of the stipulations relating to sharebased incentive schemes under point 3, which are presented to the AGM for approval.

The guidelines for share-based incentive schemes under point 3 are binding on the board. The remaining guidelines are recommendations, from which the board of directors may deviate if it so decides. The reason for any such deviation from the guidelines shall be included in the board meeting's minutes.

2. AUTHORISATION

The board of directors shall determine the salary and other benefits payable to the CEO. The CEO shall determine the salary and benefits payable to other senior executives. The board shall have overall supervision of the remuneration payable to other senior executives, and may issue more specific guidelines for the remuneration of other senior executives over and above those stipulated below. If the CEO wishes to offer remuneration to senior executives which exceeds these more specific guidelines, board approval must be obtained.

3. REMUNERTION GUIDELINES FOR THE 2015 FINANCIAL YEAR

The company's policy with respect to executive remuneration is based on the following main principles:

• Executive remuneration shall be competitive
• Executive remuneration shall be motivating

Based on these main principles the board has formulated the following structure for remuneration payable to the company's senior executives:

Basic salary

Basic salary is the principal element in the executive's remuneration package. Basic salary shall be competitive in the market and reflect the individual's duties and level of responsibility.

Bonus

SalMar operates a bonus scheme for members of group management, which is determined by the board. Each year the board evaluates the scheme and sets the bonus criteria for the coming year. Variable bonus payments under the scheme may not normally exceed 33% of the executive's basic salary. The bonus criteria are divided into three, and are linked to the realisation of targets at group, division and individual level.

Share-based incentive schemes

The board has a share-based incentive scheme for senior executives in the Group. The first programme was approved by the AGM of 4 June 2014. The programme encompasses incumbents of senior positions and key personnel within the Group. The programme entitles employees to receive shares free of cost. The entitlement accrues over three years. The value of the share entitlement granted to any individual employee may not exceed the equivalent of six months' salary. Accrual of 2/3 of this entitlement depends on the fulfilment of specified performance criteria. The maximum amount that the individual employee may accrue in any one year is capped at the equivalent of one whole year's salary.

The intention is that the incentive scheme shall be continued in the form of annual programmes. The board considers adjustments to the programmes, and each individual programme will be laid before the AGM for approval.

Pension schemes

Group management participates in the Group's overall pension scheme. This is a definedcontribution scheme, with contributions amounting to 7% of salary up to 12G (G being the Norwegian National Insurance Scheme's basic unit of calculation).

Termination of employment and severance pay

In principle, termination of employment for senior executives requires a 6-month period of notice. In certain circumstances, and depending on the position concerned, severance pay may be awarded for a period of 6-12 months.

Payments in kind

The company does not offer payments in kind over and above those which are usual for senior executives in comparable companies.

Other variable remuneration elements

Other than that specified above the Company shall not offer senior executives any variable remuneration elements or particular benefits in addition to basic salary.

4. SENIOR EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION POLICY AS APPLIED IN THE 2014 FINANCIAL YEAR

The Company's senior executive remuneration policy for the 2014 financial year was applied in accordance with the statement relating to senior executive remuneration adopted by the AGM on 4 June 2014.

Attachment 3 – The Nomination Committee's recommendation
