NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN
OR INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, HONG KONG OR JAPAN, OR
ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL.

Frøya, Norway, 30 March 2023: Ice Fish Farm AS (the "Company") hereby announces
a contemplated private placement to raise gross proceeds of the NOK equivalent
of approximately EUR 44 million (the "Private Placement") by the issuance of new
shares in the Company (the "Offer Shares"). The subscription price per Offer
Share (the "Subscription Price") will be set by the Company's board of directors
(the "Board") on the basis of an accelerated bookbuilding process conducted by
the Managers (as defined below).

Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement published by the Company on
27 February 2023 regarding an agreement for a long-term bank financing facility
of up to EUR 156.2 million with DNB Bank ASA, Nordea Bank Abp, filial I Norge,
Arion Banki hf and Landsbankinn hf (the "New Financing"). The New Financing
includes (i) a EUR 60 million term loan facility for the refinancing of certain
existing indebtedness of the group, (ii) a EUR 20 million capex facility for
financing of new equipment, upgrades to facilities, investments in barges,
vessels and other assets, (iii) an up to EUR 70 million revolving credit
facility to refinance current biomass financing and for general corporate and
working capital purposes, and (iv) an up to EUR 6.2 million term loan facility
for refinancing of certain other existing indebtedness of the group and for
financing of new equipment. As a condition for the New Financing, the Company
must raise a gross cash amount of approximately EUR 44 million in new equity, in
addition to a conversion of the currently outstanding shareholder loans of
approximately EUR 26 million (the "Shareholder Loans"). As part of the Private
Placement, the Shareholder Loans will be converted at the Offer Price and based
on the exchange rates published by Norges Bank on 30 March 2023.

Ice Fish Farm AS has engaged DNB Markets, a part of DNB Bank ASA ("DNB Markets")
as Sole Global Coordinator and Joint Bookrunner and Arion Banki hf and Nordea
Bank Abp, filial i Norge as Joint Bookrunners for the Private Placement
(jointly, the "Managers"). The net proceeds for the Private Placement will,
together with the New Financing, be used towards biomass build-up and capex for
2023 and 2024.

The following close associates of primary insiders have pre-committed to
subscribe for Offer Shares in the Private Placement for the following amounts:

o Austur Holding AS for the NOK equivalent of EUR 18.1 million,
o Eggjahvíta ehf for the NOK equivalent of approx. EUR 4.5 million,
o Krossey ehf for the NOK equivalent of approx. EUR 4.0 million,
o Asle Rønning, chairman of the Board, through AR invest AS, for NOK 2.5 million

The Shareholder Loans that are to be converted in connection with the Private
Placement are split between the following shareholders:

o Austur Holding AS: approximately EUR 21.2 million
o Krossey ehf.: approximately EUR 4.1 million
o Eggjahvita ehf.: approximately EUR 0.9 million
o Others: approximately EUR 0.2 million

Based on a limited wall-crossing exercise prior to launch, the Managers have
received indications of interest to subscribe for Offer Shares so that the
Private Placement is covered on indications of interest at the start of the
bookbuilding period.

Customary lock-up agreements for a period of 180 days, with standard exemptions,
have been entered into with the Company (with a carve-out for considerations
shares in acquisitions limited to 5% of total outstanding shares), its board
members and executive management.

TIMELINE AND DETAILED TERMS FOR THE PLANNED PRIVATE PLACEMENT

The bookbuilding and application period for the Private Placement commences
today, 30 March 2023 at 16.30 hours CEST, and will end 31 March 2023 at 08.00
hours CEST. The Company, after consultation with the Managers, reserves the
right to at any time and in its sole discretion to close or extend the
bookbuilding and application period or to cancel the Private Placement in its
entirety and for any reason. If the bookbuilding and application period is
shortened or extended, the other dates referred to herein may be changed
correspondingly.

The Subscription Price and the number of Offer Shares to be issued in the
Private Placement will be determined by the Board, in consultation with the
Managers, following completion of the bookbuilding process.

The Private Placement will be directed towards Norwegian and international
investors, subject to applicable exemptions from relevant registration, filing
and prospectus requirements, and subject to other applicable selling
restrictions. The minimum application amount has been set to the NOK equivalent
of EUR 100,000. The Company may, however, at its sole discretion, allocate
amounts below the NOK equivalent of EUR 100,000 to the extent of exemptions from
the prospectus requirements in accordance with applicable regulations, including
the EU Prospectus Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017) and ancillary regulations, as
implemented pursuant to the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, are available.

Settlement of the Private Placement is expected to be on or about 4 April 2023.
The allocated shares will be delivered to the applicant's account with Euronext
Securities Oslo, the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (the "VPS"), on a
delivery versus payment ("DVP"). DVP settlement in the Private Placement is
expected to be facilitated through a share lending agreement entered into
between the Company, Austur Holding AS and DNB Markets (on behalf the Managers).


Completion of the Private Placement by delivery of Offer Shares to investors is
subject to all necessary corporate resolutions being validly made by the
Company, including the Board resolving to complete the Private Placement and
allocate the Offer Shares based on the authorisation granted by the
extraordinary general meeting held on 16 March 2023.

Please see the attached company presentation.

POTENTIAL SUBSEQUENT OFFERING

In accordance with Euronext Growth Rule Book Part II and the Oslo Stock
Exchange's Guidelines on the rule of equal treatment and Norwegian market
practice, subject to completion of the Private Placement, the Board may consider
a subsequent offering of new shares (the "Subsequent Offering") towards
shareholders of the Company as of close of trading on 30 March 2023, as recorded
in the VPS on 3 April 2023, who (i) were not allocated Offer Shares in the
Private Placement, and (ii) are not resident in a jurisdiction where such
offering would be unlawful or, would (in jurisdictions other than Norway)
require any prospectus, filing, registration or similar action ("Eligible
Shareholders").

Whether a Subsequent Offering will be proposed will inter alia depend on the
results of the Private Placement and the subsequent development of the Company's
share price. If proposed, the Subsequent Offering may be required to be approved
by the shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting.

EQUAL TREATMENT CONSIDERATIONS

The Private Placement represents a deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive
right to subscribe for and be allocated the Offer Shares. The Board has
considered the structure of the equity raise in light of the equal treatment
obligations under the Norwegian Private Limited Companies Act, the rules on
equal treatment under Euronext Growth Rule Book Part II and the Oslo Stock
Exchange's Guidelines on the rule of equal treatment, and the Board is of the
opinion that the transaction structure is in compliance with these requirements.
The share issuance will be carried out as a private placement in order for the
Company to complete the equity raise in a manner that is efficient and with a
significantly lower risk and a significantly smaller discount to the current
trading price compared to a rights issue.

The Subscription Price will be set on the basis of a publicly announced
bookbuilding process and thus reflect the market price of the shares.

Further, the Subsequent Offering, if implemented, will secure that Eligible
Shareholders will receive the opportunity to subscribe for new shares at the
Subscription Price.
On this basis, and based on an assessment of the current equity capital markets,
the Board has considered the proposed transaction structure to be in the common
interest of the Company and its shareholders.
