Maritim Food AS, which is the Norwegian subsidiary of the Lännen Tehtaat Group, 
and Cinvest AS, which is the minority owner of fish-processing company Sandanger
AS, have agreed a deal by which Cinvest's 49% holding in Sandanger AS is        
transferred to the ownership of Maritim Food AS. The acquisition cost of these  
minority shares was approximately EUR 1.2 million.                              

Jan Brevik has been appointed Managing Director of Sandanger AS as of 1 July    
2009. He will continue as Managing Director of Maritim Food AS and Maritim Food 
Sweden AB. As a result of this organisational change, non-recurring expenses of 
approximately EUR 0.1 million will be recognised in the third-quarter result of 
the Seafood business. The new ownership arrangements will allow the Maritim Food
group to benefit more effectively from the synergies and to further develop the 
business as part of Maritim Food group.
