Strategic focus – Indre Harøy first, expansion later 13 Executing on current operations Delivering on phase 1 and phase 2 production targets is the key strategic priority. *) The fourth phase of the planned facility at Indre Harøy is conceptual and includes expansion on land regulated for industry w ith a primary focus on establishing aquaculture- related business. The Company does not currently own the land or have the necessary permits, licenses and power allocation to be able to construct and operate the facility EXTENDING THE OCEAN POTENTIAL Q3 2026 Near term Medium term Doubling production Highly accretive growth options at current site - opportunity to more than double existing operations to ~36,000t HOG.

• Gradual handover of tanks through 2026 and into 2027 supporting a controlled transition into operations. • Construction expected to be finished by year-end. • Formal handover of the final two tanks following testing and commissioning moved to Q1 2027, with no material impact on operations or costs expected. • Capital allocation remain disciplined, and initiation of the pre-grow-out tanks expansion is contingent on an improvement in salmon prices, with near-term focus on achieving production targets on installed capacity.
