26 August 2022 - Endúr ASA's wholly owned subsidiary Artec Aqua AS has today
signed an agreement with Geo Salmo ehf as turnkey supplier for a land-based
grow-out facility for Atlantic salmon on Iceland.

The facility will be located in Þorlákshöfn, close to Reykjavik on Iceland. The
production capacity for the complete facility will be 18,900 tonnes (HOG). The
build-out will be carried out in subsequent stages. As a turnkey supplier, Artec
Aqua will deliver design, engineering, construction, and commissioning of the
complete facility. The total contract value is between NOK 1.5 - 1.8 billion for
the build-out of the facility's first stage. 

"We conducted a sketch project during spring this year, and we are very pleased
to continue the strong cooperation with the highly competent team in Geo Salmo.
This is an exciting project that combines our hybrid technology with the
advantages of being located on Iceland, where seawater is supplied from
boreholes and naturally filtered through lava rock. To be chosen as turnkey
partner is a testament to Artec Aqua's track record from land-based aquaculture
facilities and the unique competence of our team," says Ingegjerd Eidsvik, CEO
Artec Aqua. 

As the contract is divided into phases, the parties commit to each phase
successively. Endúr will book order intake and backlog for the various phases as
and when they are initiated, starting with the concept design phase. 
"This contract represents a significant milestone for Artec Aqua, being the
first contract for construction of a full-scale grow-out facility outside
Norway. It is a great recognition of the expertise and technology that Artec
Aqua possesses. We are also pleased to see one of our many early-phase project
materializes," says Jeppe Raaholt, CEO of Endúr ASA.

Artec Aqua will start concept design and engineering immediately. Start of
construction is planned for the third quarter 2023. The technology in the
facility will be Artec Aqua Hybrid SystemTM, where up to 70% of the water will
be recirculated.

"We are delighted to partner with Artec Aqua on our project. They have shown
themselves to be an industry leader in land-based aquaculture and have
demonstrated a unique ability to meet and exceed expectations in their projects.
The combination of Artec Aqua's strong knowledge and proven technology were
decisive in our choice of a turnkey supplier for our project. The partnership
will ensure success in our goals of producing top-quality salmon to the highest
sustainability standards," says Jens Þórðarson, CEO of Geo Salmo. 

Iceland's farmed fish production has increased significantly in recent years. A
record total of 45,458 tonnes salmon was produced in 2021, up 35 percent
compared to 2020, according to Iceland's national statistical institute,
Statistics Iceland. 

"Iceland has a rapidly growing fish farming industry. We hope that proving our
competence and technology in Geo Salmo's project can open up further
opportunities in the Icelandic aquaculture sector," adds Ingegjerd Eidsvik.
