Increased debt financing to support Phase 2 build out

In connection with the contemplated Private Placement the Company has received a commitment letter from certain banks under its existing NOK 1,550 million green loan facilities (as amended, the "Bank Facilities") to, among other things, (i) increase the commitments under the Bank Facilities with NOK 675 million to a total of NOK 2,225 million for the purpose of partly financing of phase 1, as well as partly financing the construction of phase 2 of the salmon farming facility at Indre Harøy including potential additional tank capacity ("Phase 2"), (ii) extending the final maturity date to 29 March 2027, subject to a further one year extension option (subject to lenders' consent) and (iii) making certain other amendments to the terms of the Bank Facilities. The commitment is made subject to certain drawdown conditions, customary closing conditions including final documentation and the Private Placement raising gross proceeds of minimum NOK 300 million. Together with the Private Placement, the total commitments under the Bank Facility is currently estimated to fully fund the Phase 2 build-out at Indre Harøy, with a buffer.

Improved Phase 2

With the Bank Facilities in place, and subject to completion of the Private Placement, the Company intends to move forward with the build-out of Phase 2 at Indre Harøy. After two years in operation and 6 batches succesfully harvested in phase 1, the Company has identified several optimisations in the production plan to be implemented in Phase 2. These optimisations will result in an improved Phase 2, estimated to add another 10,100t HOG capacity to the current phase 1 capacity of 7,900t HOG. As such, total output from phase 1 and Phase 2 is estimated to increase to 18,000t HOG. The increase in planned output from Phase 2 is achieved through added tank capacity leveraging existing infrastructure.

The currently estimated capital expenditure for the improved Phase 2 at Indre Harøy is NOK 2,200 million in addition to NOK 200 million in project contingency, and includes the added tank capacity capex that is currently estimated to approximately NOK 350 million. Further, the Company currently estimates that the construction of Phase 2 will be initiated in Q3 2024, however no final decisions or agreements are entered into for the construction of Phase 2 nor the potential added tank capacity.
