Miami, USA, October 29, 2023

Johan Andreassen, CEO of Atlantic Sapphire ASA (the "Company"), has informed the
Board of Directors of the Company that he would like to step down from his
position as CEO. Mr. Andreassen will remain in an interim CEO role through the
transition phase until a permanent replacement has been selected. The Company
will immediately start a search for a new CEO. 

Johan E. Andreassen commented: "The Company is going from a long entrepreneurial
phase to a more mature industrial phase, and now it feels right for me to let
someone else take over the CEO position that can spearhead that transition, and
I will help to find and onboard my successor. The time is right to start the
process of moving on and devoting more of my time to other personal priorities
that I've sacrificed over the last years, including other companies that I am
involved in. Being the founder of the Company, having held the Chairman role
from inception in 2010 until last year and the CEO position since 2016, Atlantic
Sapphire is and will still be my "baby". I will continue to contribute to the
best of my ability to ensure the Company achieves its goals. I am extremely
proud of our team that has been working hard over a long period of time, and I
am convinced that the Company will turn farming the most sustainable, healthy,
fresh and delicious salmon in America into a profitable business." 

Kenneth J. Andersen, Chairman of the Company, said "On behalf of the Board of
Directors, we want to express our gratitude to Johan for his leading role in
developing the Company into what it is today. We understand Johan's priorities
and appreciate his continued support of the Company in a different role going
forward. Johan has built up a strong team that we're confident will be
instrumental in the Company's further development and growth."

Furthermore, the Company is appointing Mario Palma as COO. He is currently the
Director of Aquaculture Engineering. In addition to eight years of RAS
experience from companies such as Mowi prior to joining Atlantic Sapphire in
2017, Mr. Palma has been a part of the US project since day one, and brings 14
years of technical and operational experience on how to manage the facility in a
structured way as the Company moves on to an industrial phase. The Board of
Directors is pleased that Mr. Palma has accepted this position and will assume
the position immediately. Jon-Birger Løvik will remain with the Company in a
different role.
