EXCHANGE RELEASE, 6 May 2015, 11.00 am 

Atria is acquiring Aalbaek Specialiteter, a manufacturer of organic cold cuts
in Denmark 

Atria is acquiring the business operations of Aalbaek Specialiteter A/S, a
Danish manufacturer of cold cuts.  Aalbaek is Denmark's largest manufacturer of
organic cold cuts. Aalbaek Specialiteter was founded in 1920. Today, it is one
of Europe's largest manufacturers of high-quality organic meat products.
Aalbaek's product range includes various premium-grade cold cuts, patés and
bacon. 

The demand for organic meat products in Denmark has been increasing steadily
for several years. The transaction will strengthen Atria's market leading
position in cold cuts in Denmark. The transaction includes the Aalbaek's brand,
all business agreements, a charcuterie and a small production plant in Farre.
Aalbaek's production plant in Billund, which was destroyed in a fire in January
2015, is not included in the transaction. The production of Aalbaek products
will be transferred to Atria Denmark's production plant in Horsens. 

In conjunction with the transaction, some of Aalbaek's key personnel will
transfer to Atria Denmark. 

As a result of the deal, Atria's net sales are projected to grow by around EUR
10 million per year. The company will be transferred to Atria on 11 May 2015.
