Oslo, 18.August 2010: Cermaq ASA has today entered into an agreement with Morpol
ASA to sell its farming and processing business in Scotland (Mainstream
Scotland) to Morpol ASA for NOK 350 million enterprise value.

Cermaq's Scottish farming business has over the last year shown a significant
recovery from various improvement activities. Mainstream Scotland expects to
harvest 6.500 tonnes salmon (gwe) in 2010 with expected good profit. Compared to
Cermaq's other farming activities, Mainstream Scotland has nevertheless been
considered too limited to secure sufficient economy of scale, and various
strategic opportunities have therefore been considered.

- A sale of the Scottish farming and processing activity to Morpol ASA is
considered as a good solution for Cermaq, Morpol, Mainstream Scotland as well as
for our Scottish employees, CEO Geir Isaksen comments.

- Cermaq has through Mainstream an ambition to be one of the leading global
farming companies. The sale of Mainstream Scotland does therefore not impact
Cermaq's long term strategy, Mr. Isaksen states.

The Transaction:

Total agreed enterprise value is NOK 350 million. Cermaq will recognize a gain
from the transaction in the range of NOK 75 million, which will be included in
the group accounts for third quarter 2010.

The transaction will further provide Cermaq with combined cash proceeds of
approximately NOK 350 mill.

The agreement will be effective as from 25. August 2010.

Oslo, 31 August 2010: Morpol ASA (OSE: MORPOL)

Morpol ASA reported a negative EBIT for second quarter 2010 of EUR 2.1 million. This was a decrease from corresponding quarter 2009 where there was a profit of EUR 11.0 million. High raw material prices impacted negatively on the results. The group had a net loss in the quarter of EUR 2.2 million (EUR 10.9 million profit) and a net profit in the first half of EUR 1.4 million (EUR 15.5 million).

Despite higher volumes, a significantly higher raw material price – mainly gutted salmon purchased from Norway – compared to last year had an adverse impact on profitability short term. It is expected that raw material prices of salmon will drop from current record levels in the second half of 2010.

Strong growth in operating revenues
Operating revenues in the second quarter of 2010 were 22 per cent above the second quarter prior year at EUR 83.4 million (prior year EUR 68.1 million). The revenue increase was mainly driven by a strong volume increase – 16 per cent increase in core product sales – and also higher sales prices.

“We had satisfactory results in the first half of 2010 and the demand for salmon is high. The second quarter was challenging with export prices of salmon reaching historical record levels which affected us negatively. However, we have once again grown strongly and created a platform for the future” says CEO Jerzy Malek.
Morpol experienced strong sales growth during the first half year. The volume growth of core products grew 24 per cent compared to the same period 2009. Germany remains the main market for Morpol products. However, Morpol is expanding rapidly into other markets such as France, USA and UK with its core products.

Acquisition of three companies
Morpol previously announced its first step into salmon farming with the acquisition of Mainstream Scotland and Westray Salmon. Today Morpol announces that the company has entered into an agreement to acquire the total assets of a third salmon company; Rysa Salmon in Orkney, Scotland. Rysa Salmon has two farming licenses and currently only produces organic salmon with an annual harvest in 2010 of...
