SalMars annonserte frivillige kontanttilbud for å kjøpe alle utestående aksjer i

Norway Royal Salmon ASA vil ikke fremmes

Frøya, 26. august 2021

Det vises til børsmelding datert 20. august 2021 hvor SalMar ASA ("SalMar")

annonserte sin intensjon om å fremme et frivillig kontanttilbud for å kjøpe alle

utestående aksjer i Norway Royal Salmon ASA ("NRS" eller "Selskapet") for NOK

270 per aksje ("Tilbudet"). I børsmeldingen publisert av Selskapet 26. august

2021 ble det annonsert at NTS ASA ("NTS") har mottatt aksepter i det pliktige

tilbudet som resulterer i at NTS blir eier av mer enn 50 % av aksjene i NRS.

Tilbudet til SalMar var betinget av at SalMar mottar aksepter for, eller på

annet vis blir eier av, aksjer i NRS som representerer mer enn 50 % av aksjene i

NRS. Ettersom denne betingelsen ikke kan oppfylles, vil SalMar heller ikke

fremme Tilbudet.

SalMar konstaterer at Tilbudet fra SalMar, som var priset med en vesentlig

premie til NTS' pliktige tilbud og etter SalMars vurdering representerte en

rettferdig verdsettelse av NRS, ikke vil fremmes for aksjeeierne i NRS, og  at

synergiene som kunne vært oppnådd gjennom en sammenslåing av NRS og SalMar ikke

vil realiseres.
