The transaction values the entire share capital of the aquaculture company at approximately NOK 4.84 billion, representing a 71.7% premium over the market price prior to the strategic review.

Heimstø AS (Heimstø), which owns 85,727,553 shares in Måsøval AS (Måsøval or the Company), corresponding to approximately 70% of the Company’s share capital, announced on 25 March 2025 that it had decided to initiate a strategic review of its ownership in Måsøval. As a result of this review, Heimstø has today entered into an agreement with SalMar ASA (SalMar) to sell all of its shares in Måsøval.

The purchase price is NOK 39.50 per share, implying an aggregate consideration for the share sale of approximately NOK 3.4 billion. The consideration consists of 733,906 shares in SalMar, corresponding to 10% of the total purchase price, and a cash consideration for the remaining portion. The value of the consideration shares has been determined based on a price of NOK 461.40 per share, corresponding to the closing price of the SalMar share on Euronext Oslo Børs on 6 July 2026.

The consideration implies:

  • A premium of 71.7% to the closing price of Måsøval’s shares of NOK 23.00 on 25 March 2026, the last trading day before Heimstø announced its strategic review.

  • A premium of 71.9% to the volume-weighted average price of Måsøval’s shares over the last 30 trading days prior to the announcement of the strategic review of NOK 22.98.

The transaction values the entire share capital of Måsøval at approximately NOK 4.84 billion, based on 122,508,455 outstanding shares as of 8 July 2026.

Lars Måsøval, CEO of Heimstø, comments:

"The Company has been built on a steadfast belief in salmon farming, and it is no secret that there have been many challenging periods over several decades. We have taken significant risks and been innovative from the very beginning, ever since my father, uncle and grandfather built the cages, farmed the fish and brought the fish to the market, to today, where we are a modern, fully integrated listed aquaculture company with 370 employees producing around 1% of global salmon production. We are proud of what has been built, while at the same time we feel a strong responsibility to preserve the values and communities created along the coast and to further develop these values for future generations.

The aquaculture industry is now facing significant changes: framework conditions are changing, new technology is being phased in, and it is challenging to develop the Company further in an environment of margin pressure and a high tax burden. Against the backdrop of significant change, it feels right that we now reunite forces with SalMar, which the Måsøval family helped establish in 1991. We are confident that Måsøval is being placed in good hands that will continue its development for the benefit of local communities in Central Norway, the Norwegian aquaculture industry and consumers globally, while maintaining the high standards for fish welfare, quality and sustainability."

Frode Arntsen, CEO of SalMar, comments:

"We believe this represents an exciting industrial opportunity that will strengthen SalMar’s position in Central Norway, one of our most important core regions for aquaculture. Måsøval is a historically well-established and well-managed company with strong roots in the region, and its operations are a good fit with SalMar’s existing activities. The companies share common roots on Frøya, and we see significant potential for further development. The transaction is, though, subject to the necessary regulatory approvals and other customary conditions, and we are now commencing these processes."

As part of the agreement, Heimstø has been granted a right, for a period of 12 months from completion of the transaction, to sell the consideration shares back to SalMar for NOK 461.40 per share.

Completion of the transaction is conditional upon satisfaction of customary conditions, including clearance from relevant authorities.

Following completion of the transaction, SalMar will ensure that minority shareholders are able to realise their shares in Måsøval based on a price of NOK 39.50 per share in the Company.

この対価は以下を意味します:

  • Heimstøが戦略的見直しを発表する前の最後の取引日である2026年3月25日Måsøval株の終値23.00 NOKに対して71.7%のプレミアム。

  • 戦略的見直しの発表前における過去30取引日Måsøval株の出来高加重平均価格22.98 NOKに対して71.9%のプレミアム。

会社はサケ養殖への確固たる信念に基づいて築かれてきましたが、数十年にわたり多くの困難な時期があったことは秘密ではありません。私たちは、私の父、叔父、祖父が最初がいけすを建て、魚を育て、市場に届けていた最初期から、370人の従業員を擁し、世界のサケ生産量の約1%を生産する、現代的で完全に統合された上場水産養殖企業である今日に至るまで、大きなリスクを取り、革新的であり続けてきました。私たちは築き上げられたものを誇りに思うと同時に、沿岸地域で創出された価値やコミュニティを守り、これらの価値を将来の世代のためにさらに発展させる強い責任を感じています。

現在、水産養殖業界は大きな変化に直面しています。枠組み条件が変わり、新しい技術が段階的に導入されており、マージン圧迫と高い税負担の環境下で会社をさらに発展させることは困難を極めています。大きな変化の背景の中で、1991年Måsøval家が設立を支援したSalMarと再び力を合わせることは正しいことだと感じています。Måsøvalが、魚の福祉、品質、持続可能性に対する高い基準を維持しながら、中部ノルウェーの地域社会、ノルウェーの水産養殖業界、そして世界中の消費者の利益のためにその発展を継続してくれる、信頼できる手に委ねられたと確信しています。」

SalMarのCEOであるFrode Arntsen氏は次のようにコメントしています。

「これは、当社の水産養殖における最も重要なコア地域の一つである中部ノルウェーにおけるSalMarの地位を強化する、刺激的な産業的機会を代表するものであると信じています。Måsøvalは、この地域に強い根を持つ、歴史的に確立され、十分に管理された企業であり、その事業はSalMarの既存の活動と非常によく適合しています。両社はFrøyaに共通のルーツを持っており、さらなる発展のための大きな可能性を感じています。ただし、この取引は必要な規制当局の承認やその他の慣習的な条件を満たすことが条件であり、私たちは現在、これらのプロセスを開始しています。」

合意の一環として、Heimstøには、取引完了から12ヶ月の期間、対価としての株式を1株あたり461.40 NOKSalMarに売り戻す権利が与えられています。

取引の完了は、関係当局からの承認を含む慣習的な条件の充足を条件としています。

取引完了後、SalMarは、少数株主が会社1株あたり39.50 NOKの価格に基づいてMåsøvalの株式を売却できるようにすることを保証します。
