Background

Kappa has the ambition to be a market leader in the global vitamin K2 segment.
The strength of Kappa’s proprietary production technology and patent portfolio
provides the company with an unassailable global cost and quality leadership
position. Kappa’s owners are prepared to invest heavily to support the company
in its technology development and global growth ambitions, while ensuring that
Kappa’s patent position is acknowledged by the market and all its participants.
The proposed acquisition of NattoPharma confirms this ambition.

About Kappa Bioscience AS

Kappa Bioscience AS is a Norwegian entity founded in December 2006. Utilizing
advanced production technology based on a strong patent portfolio, Kappa has
secured global leadership in the production and development of vitamin K2, which
is one of the fastest-growing health ingredients worldwide. Kappa is currently
the leading vendor of vitamin K2 for use in various formulations, and Kappa’s
leadership in the vitamin K2 market is further exemplified by its recent patent
expansion in the production of vitamin K2 as pure MK-7 (menaquinone-7). While
vitamin K2 provides the cornerstone for Kappa’s business, Kappa also offers a
range of bone and heart health category ingredients in several forms and
concentrations. A key objective going forward is to make vitamin K2 accessible
for the global food supplement and fortified food market. Kappa will continue to
serve the market with pure and stable forms of MK-7 products. With regulatory
approvals in leading markets, including US self-affirmed GRAS and an NDIN,
Kappa’s vitamin K2 MK-7 can be used in most applications, also in conventional
foods.
