Fornebu, September 3, 2024 - On July 3, 2024, Aker BioMarine ASA announced that
it had entered into an agreement with American Industrial Partners and Aker
Capital AS for the sale of its ownership stake in the Feed Ingredients business.
On August 5, 2024, the company informed that the transaction had received
clearance from all relevant competition authorities, and today, the share sale
has been completed.

Based on an enterprise value of USD 590 million, the total transaction proceeds
adjusted for normalized working capital and excess product inventory at closing
will amount to USD 630 million, of which USD 610 million is settled today and
USD 20 million will be settled within 90 days. After settling the company's
outstanding debt and broker fees, the net cash proceeds to Aker BioMarine will

Aker BioMarine intends to distribute an extraordinary dividend of approximately

dividends.

Following the transaction, Aker BioMarine will be a focused human health and
nutrition company consisting of three business units: (1) Human Health
Ingredients, (2) Consumer Health Ingredients, and (3) Emerging Businesses.

"The sale represents an important milestone in crystallizing value and allows
Aker BioMarine to focus on the human health and nutrition business. The company
holds an attractive position in the growing dietary nutrition market,
particularly within the large Omega-3 segment. We will continue to grow by
increasing market share and expanding our product categories through innovation.
Our business model will be capital-light, with the potential for high cash
conversion," says Matts Johansen, CEO of Aker BioMarine.
