Andfjord Holding AS has completed a block transaction with Jeronimo Martins
Agroalimentar, SA (JMA) involving the sale of 2,000,000 shares in Andfjord
Salmon Group AS. JMA, the largest shareholder in Andfjord Salmon Group AS, has
acquired these shares at a price of NOK 30.00 per share, calculated based on the
average Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) over 30, 60, and 90-day periods.

TRANSACTION DETAILS

The 2,000,000 shares represent approximately 2.95% of the total outstanding
shares in Andfjord Salmon Group AS.

SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE BEFORE THE TRANSACTION:

 * Andfjord Holding AS: 6,858,680 shares (10.15%)

SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE AFTER THE TRANSACTION:

 * Andfjord Holding AS: 4,858,680 shares (7.18%)
 * JMA: 18,959,855 shares (28.03%)

This transaction serves strategic purposes for both parties.

For Andfjord Holding AS, the proceeds from the block sale will relief the
company from the pressure of managing its wealth tax obligations, while allowing
it to reduce its debt, which was tied to its forward exposure in Andfjord Salmon
Group AS, covering approximately 2,000,000 shares. Following this transaction, 
Andfjord Holding AS will no longer have shares on forward contracts and thus no
debt related to its ownership in Andfjord Salmon Group AS. 

For JMA this acquisition reflects its confidence on a strategic project with
given proofs in terms of quality and high-level standards of production. The
sustainable innovation culture inherent to Andfjord Salmon Group AS is a
valuable source of knowledge and inspiration to JMA.

 Roy Petterssen, CEO of Andfjord Holding AS, who will remain as Board Member and
shareholder of Andfjord Salmon Group AS, stated:
"We are very pleased that JMA is the buyer of these shares. JMA has been a key
partner from the start, and their contributions at the board level have been
instrumental to the success of Andfjord Salmon Group AS."

This transaction further strengthens the sense of long-term commitment of

development, well beyond the ownership structure.
