Nordic Halibut AS : - Share option program and mandatory notification of trade

Averøy, 26 September 2021.

The Board of Directors of Nordic Halibut AS ("Nordic Halibut" or the "Company")
has resolved to implement a share option program for management and certain key
employees of the Company.

The share option program is implemented to increase the Company's ability to
retain, reward and attract talent to help realise the Company's ambitious growth
plan. It is considered beneficial for all Company stakeholders to implement an
incentive for key employees to have ownership in the Company. 

The program comprises 600.000 share options in total. Each option will give the
option holder the right to subscribe or purchase one share in the Company at the
exercise price, which is set to NOK 22.50, equal to the subscription price in
the private placement of shares immediately prior to the listing of the
Company's shares on 26 April 2021.
 
The share options will vest for a period of two years starting at the later of
24 September 2024 and the date when the Company has reached certain performance
targets.

Share options that are not exercised within the exercise period will lapse and
be of no value to the option holder. The options are non-tradable and
conditional upon i.a. the option holder being employed with the Company and not
having resigned or being terminated for cause prior to the vesting date. 

The Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to settle any vested share
options by transfer of existing shares, new shares or a mix of the two. Further,
the Company has the right to settle any the economic interest in any vested
share option in cash.

Issuing of new shares in the future for the purpose of the options program will
depend on required corporate authorizations being in place at the time of
exercise of the options. 

375.000 of the share options have been granted to the following primary insiders
of the Company:
