Veidekke's subsidiary Grande Entreprenør AS and Berg Eiendom Røra AS have signed
a contract for the construction of a new chicken slaughterhouse for Berika at
Røra in Trøndelag. The contract is a design and build contract valued at around
NOK 135 million excluding VAT.

"We are very pleased that this project is finally being realised. This will
result in significant production on our books in both 2024 and 2025, which in
turn contributes to secure the jobs of our 200 employees and our local partners
in a difficult time for the industry. Additionally, a facility of this kind will
have positive ripple effects, bringing many new jobs to the region, which will
form the basis of growth and make the Innherred district an appealing place to
live," says Morten Hynne, General Manager of Grande Entreprenør.

The slaughterhouse will be located at the Leinsmyra industrial area in Røra in
the municipality of Inderøy, and it will have a total approximate area of 6,800
m[2] distributed over two to three storeys. The facility will include areas for
the slaughter and processing of poultry, as well as a goods in area for live
animals and a goods out area for finished products. There will also be a
separate administration wing included in the building.

"With my own background in the meat industry, it's particularly gratifying on
the personal level that we're adding a slaughterhouse to our CV. Food production
is one of the most meaningful things we can do, and it goes without saying that
a community like Innherred, part of Norway's agricultural heartland, must have
facilities that allow it to further process those products that come from its
farming," Hynne concludes.

Construction work will start in the spring with completion scheduled for the
autumn of 2025.
