THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF ANY OF THE SECURITIES
DESCRIBED HEREIN. PLEASE SEE THE IMPORTANT NOTICE AT THE END OF THIS
ANNOUNCEMENT.

Yokohama/Bergen, 3 September 2025: Reference is made to the stock exchange
announcement published by Proximar Seafood AS (the "Company") on 9 July 2025
regarding the refinancing plan comprising (i) amendments to the Company's debt
capital with a planned 12-month extension of the maturity of the Japanese
syndicated bank loan and amendments to the convertible bond, involving lower
interest costs and renegotiated conversion terms, (ii) the private placement
which was successfully completed on 10 July 2025 and (iii) a contemplated fully
underwritten rights issue in the Company, raising gross proceeds of NOK
150,000,000 (the "Rights Issue").

The proposed Rights Issue is subject to shareholder approval and the Company
therefore calls for an extraordinary general meeting to be held on 17 September
2025 at 10:00 hours (CEST) (the "EGM") to inter alia resolve (i) the Rights
Issue, (ii) amendments to the convertible bond (iii) an issuance of new shares
in the Company to facilitate settlement of the fee to the underwriters of the
Rights Issue, (iv) a general authorisation to the board of directors of the
Company to issue new shares for general corporate purposes and (v) a specific
authorisation to the board of directors of the Company to issue new shares
exclusively for its share option program. The notice of the EGM, including the
agenda, proposed resolutions, registration form and a form of proxy and other
information is enclosed hereto.

Proceeds
The gross proceeds from the Rights Issue will be NOK 150,000,000. The net
proceeds from the Rights Issue will be used to (i) repay a short-term bridge
financing of up to NOK 60,000,000 obtained to comply with extra working capital
requirements as part of the refinancing of the current syndicated bank loan in
Japan, (ii) refinance a short-term shareholder loan of NOK 30,000,000, (iii)
general corporate purposes, including financing costs and some smaller upgrades
and improvements, and (iv) increased working capital requirements, following the
planned shift in the harvest plan to improve average harvest weights and price
achievement.

Terms and conditions
The subscription price in the Rights Issue will be NOK 1 per share, which has
been determined based on negotiations with key stakeholders and underwriters.
Each shareholder of the Company who is not resident in a jurisdiction where such
offering would be unlawful or, in jurisdictions other than Norway, require any
prospectus, filing, registration or similar action, will be granted tradeable
subscription rights ("Subscription Rights") in proportion to the number of
existing shares held at the date of the EGM, as registered in the Norwegian
Central Securities Depository (CSD) at the end of the second trading day on
Euronext Growth Oslo thereafter (the "Record Date"). The Company's shares are
expected to trade exclusive of the right to receive Subscription Rights from and
including 18 September 2025. Each Subscription Right will, subject to applicable
securities laws, give the right to subscribe for and be allocated one new share
in the Rights Issue. Oversubscription and subscription without subscription
rights will be permitted, but with no guaranteed allocation.

The Subscription Rights will be applied for trading and listing on Euronext
Growth Oslo from and including the first day of the subscription period and
until 16:30 (Oslo time) four trading days prior to the expiry of the
subscription period. The Company will prepare and publish an EEA prospectus for
the offering of the shares issued in the Rights Issue that will include the full
terms and conditions of the Rights Issue (the "Prospectus"). The Prospectus will
be subject to approval by the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority (the
"NFSA") before publication. All dates and other figures concerning the Rights
Issue included herein remain tentative and subject to change. Any changes will
be announced at the EGM or through stock exchange announcements.

Underwriting
A group of investors, including several existing shareholders, currently
representing in total 26.46% of the shares in the Company, have undertaken to
fully underwrite the Rights Issue. A complete list of the underwriters and their
respective underwriting is set out in an attachment to this message.

Each of the Underwriters is entitled to an underwriting fee of 9% of its
underwriting commitment, to be settled in the form of new shares in the Company
to be subscribed at the same subscription price as in the Rights Issue, in
addition to having been entitled to participate in the private placement
completed 10 July 2025.

Timeline
According to the current tentative timetable, and subject to the approval by the
EGM, the Company's shares are expected to trade exclusive of Subscription Rights
from and including 18 September 2025, the record date for the Subscription
Rights is expected to be 19 September 2025 and the subscription period for the
Rights Issue is expected to commence on or around 22 September 2025 and end on
or around 6 October 2025. The period during which the Subscription Rights are to
be tradable is expected to commence on or around 22 September 2025 and end on or
around 30 September 2025. The Subscription Period may not be shortened, but the
Company's board of directors may extend the Subscription Period if required. Any
changes will be announced through stock exchange announcements.

ABG Sundal Collier ASA has been retained as manager for the Rights Issue.
Advokatfirmaet Thommessen AS is acting as legal advisor to the Company in
connection with the Rights Issue.

About Proximar Seafood
Proximar Seafood is a Norwegian land-based salmon farming company with its first
production facility and production at the foot of Mount Fuji in Japan. The
company inserted its first batch of eggs in October 2022 and carried out its
first harvest on 30 September 2024. Proximar's brand and logo (Fuji Atlantic
Salmon) were officially launched in October 2024 at our partner Marubeni
Corporation's head quarter in Tokyo. Through land-based salmon farming, using
high-quality groundwater secured close to Mount Fuji, the company produces fresh
Atlantic Salmon, harvested the same day. Proximar's location, near one of the
world's most important fish markets, implies significant advantages, both in
terms of reduced cost and carbon footprint.
