Reference is made to the proposed merger between Norway Royal Salmon ASA ("NRS")
and SalMar ASA ("SalMar") (the "Merger") pursuant to the merger plan dated 30
May 2022 (the "Merger Plan"), as approved by the respective companies'
extraordinary general meetings held on 30 June 2022.
The processes of obtaining the necessary approvals for the Merger from the
relevant authorities have taken longer than expected when the Merger Plan was
entered into. As such, the board of directors of NRS and SalMar deem it
necessary to call for extraordinary general meetings to extend the long stop
date for completion of the Merger set out in section 8 of the Merger Plan. The
board of directors of NRS has resolved to call for an extraordinary general
meeting of the company to be held on 28 October 2022 at 10:00 (Norwegian time).
The general meeting will be held as a digital meeting. Please find the notice of
the Extraordinary General Meeting enclosed.
The Merger remains subject to receipt of further approvals from competition
authorities, including the European Commission, and such other conditions set
out in the Merger Plan.
NTS ASA, which owns approximately 68.14 % of the shares in NRS, has undertaken
to vote for the proposed resolutions on the agenda.
