The loan agreement for the EUR 340 million five year convertible bond issued by Marine Harvest in 2015, maturing on 5 November 2020 (ISIN NO 001 0748742) provides Marine Harvest with the right to redeem the remaining outstanding bonds at par value plus accrued interest under certain conditions.

Marine Harvest has notified the trustee for the convertible bond, Nordic Trustee ASA, that clause 11.3 in the loan agreement has been fulfilled as the Marine Harvest share price for at least twenty days out of a period of thirty consecutive trading days has exceeded 130 per cent of the current conversion price of the bonds, and that Marine Harvest is exercising its right to redeem the bond at par value plus accrued interest.

The loan agreement provides the bondholders the period up to and including 15 November 2018 to convert their bonds into shares.
