Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement made by Norway Royal Salmon ASA ("NRS") on 31 October 2022 in connection with the acquisition of SalmoNor AS and the merger with SalMar ASA ("SalMar") (the "Merger").

The board of directors of NRS has today resolved to carry out the Merger, and the filing for completion of the Merger has been lodged with the Norwegian Registry of Business Enterprises (Nw. "Foretaksregisteret"). It is expected that the Merger will be completed after close of trading on Oslo Børs today (the "Merger Effective Date"). Consequently, it is expected that the last day of trading in the NRS shares will be today.

Upon completion of the Merger, SalMar will absorb all assets, rights and obligations of NRS, and NRS will be dissolved. Shareholders of NRS will receive merger consideration consisting of 0.303933 shares in SalMar and NOK 52.84 in cash for each share in NRS they own as at the expiry of the Merger Effective Date, as such shareholders will appear in NRS' shareholders register with Euronext Securites Oslo (the "VPS") at the expiry of 9 November 2022 (the record date for the Merger).

Subject to registration of the Merger at the time set out above, the merger consideration shares are expected to be delivered to eligible recipients' securities accounts with the VPS on 11 November 2022. Any trade by investors in these shares prior to such delivery should be carried out in compliance with applicable short sale and other regulations.
