SalMar - 2015 share-based incentive scheme for senior executives and key personnel

SalMar - 2015 share-based incentive scheme for senior executives and key personnel

In accordance with the authorisation granted by the AGM on 2 June 2015, the

board of directors of SalMar ASA (the Company) has decided to establish a share-

based incentive scheme (Restricted Share Unit Plan) for senior executives and

key personnel employed by the company and its subsidiaries. The scheme

encompasses up to 324 581 shares and has a duration of three years. The

company's liability with respect to the scheme will be met through existing

holdings of treasury shares. As of 21 December 2015, SalMar ASA holds 1 180 081

treasury shares.

The purpose of the share-based incentive scheme (RSUP) is to encourage employees

to maintain a deep, long-term engagement in the company, through a further

alignment of the employees' interests with those of other shareholders. Under

the RSUP, participating individuals will be awarded shares to motivate them to

contribute to the continued success and profitability of the company, as well as

deliver outstanding results. The RSUP will also enhance SalMar's ability to

attract and retain staff.

Under the RSUP, participants will receive, free of charge, Restricted Share

Units (RSUs), which, if certain predefined performance criteria are met within

an accrual period, will be released and transferred to them as shares. The RSUP

comprises three accrual periods of one, two and three calendar years

respectively, with 2015 being the first year. Each accrual period encompasses

1/3 of the total number of RSUs included in the scheme. One RSU gives a

contingent entitlement to one share. The following criteria determine the award

of RSUs during each of the three accrual periods:

- Award of 1/3 of the RSUs is independent of any performance criteria

- Award of 1/3 of the RSUs depends on SalMar achieving a certain EBIT/kg more

than other aquaculture companies listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange during the

accrual period

- Award of 1/3 of the RSUs depends on SalMar's shares achieving a higher total

shareholder return (TSR) than a defined group of comparable companies during the

accrual period.

Accrual of RSUs under the scheme presumes that the individual is an employee of

SalMar or a participating subsidiary. The total gain from released RSUs during

one calendar year shall not exceed 100 per cent of the participant's basic

salary.

The RSUP goes into effect on 21 December 2015 and encompasses senior executives

and key personnel at SalMar and its subsidiaries.
