Subsequent Offering

Reference is made to the previous announcements by the Company relating to the contemplated subsequent offering of up to 1,000,000 new shares (the "Offer Shares") (the "Subsequent Offering") aimed at raising gross proceeds of up to NOK 500,000,000.

The subscription period for the Subsequent Offering will commence on 21 November 2019 at 9:00 (CET) and expire at 16:30 (CET) on 5 December 2019 (the "Subscription Period").

The Company will issue subscription rights to all registered shareholders as of the end of trading on 26 September 2019 as registered in the VPS as of 30 September 2019 (the "Record Date"), who did not subscribe for shares in the private placement announced completed on 26 September 2019 (the "Private Placement") and who are not resident in a jurisdiction where the Subsequent Offering would be unlawful, or would (in jurisdictions other than Norway) require any prospectus filing, registration or similar action (the "Eligible Shareholders").

Eligible Shareholders will be granted non-tradable subscription rights based on their registered shareholding as of the Record Date which provides a right to subscribe and be allocated Offer Shares in the Subsequent Offering (the "Subscription Rights"). Eligible Shareholders will be granted 0.0285 Subscription Rights for each of the shares held. Subscription Rights granted will be rounded down to 0 or down to the nearest whole number. Each Subscription Right grants the owner the right to subscribe for and be allocated one (1) Offer Share. The Subscription Rights will be distributed free of charge, and the recipient of Subscription Rights will not be debited any cost. The Subscription Rights will be registered in the VPS under ISIN FO0000000195 and will be distributed to each Eligible Shareholders' VPS on or about 21 November 2019.

Over-subscription (i.e. subscription of Offer Shares in excess of allocated Subscription Rights) is allowed for Eligible Shareholders. Offer Shares available for over-subscriptions will only be: (i) those resulting from the rounding down of Subscription Rights; and (ii) those Subscription Rights allocated to shareholders who are not Eligible Shareholders, or those who have failed to verify that they are Eligible Shareholders in accordance with the procedures set out in Section 5.3.3 of the Prospectus (as a consequence of having their shares recorded in the name of custodians and/or nominees). No Eligible Shareholder can be allotted a total number of Offer Shares exceeding 14.5% of its number of shares recorded in VPS as per the Record Date. Subscription without Subscription Rights is not allowed. The final size, allocation and issuance of the Offer Shares will be subject to approval by the board following expiry of the Subscription Period. The Subscription Rights will not be tradable. Upon expiry of the Subscription Period, the Subscription Rights will expire and have no value.

Eligible Shareholders holding shares through a financial intermediary will customarily receive information of the Subsequent Offering and the Subscription Rights to which it will be entitled in accordance with its usual customer relations procedure. Eligible Shareholders holding their interests through a financial intermediary should contact the financial intermediary in order to receive information with respect to the Subsequent Offering if this is not timely received.

The Offer Shares will be listed on Oslo Børs, with ticker BAKKA as soon as the share capital increase pertaining to the Subsequent Offering has been registered and the Offer Shares have been registered in the VPS under ISIN FO0000000179. The Company expects that this will take place on or about 13 December 2019.

DNB Markets, a part of DNB Bank ASA, and Nordea Bank Abp, filial i Norge, acts as Managers and Joint Bookrunners for the Subsequent Offering.

Further information, including the complete terms and conditions for the Subsequent Offering, is set out in the Prospectus, dated 20 November 2019. The Prospectus is, subject to regulatory restrictions in certain jurisdictions, available through the websites of the Company, and on www.nordea.no/Bakkafrost and www.dnb.no/emisjoner.
