Cermaq ASA : IHN virus detected in one of Mainstream's farming sites in BC

(Thomson Reuters ONE) -


Mainstream Canada has issued a press release about the detection of the IHN
(Infectious Haematopoietic Necrosis) virus at another farming site on the West
Coast of Vancouver Island. This new case has been reported at the Millar Channel
site, North of Tofino.  The Millar site is 5 km south and closest to the Dixon
Bay site that in May 2012 experienced the same virus which resulted in
depopulation.

Millar contains small fish of about 0.37 kg. The current book value of the
biomass is approximately CAD 4.5 mill.

The virus was detected at the Provincial Animal Health Lab by qPCR testing.
There is currently no increased mortality in the Millar site and any further
actions by the company will be in cooperation with Canadian authorities.

The company is currently harvesting another site in the area that is negative to
IHN virus and this harvest will be completed by the end of this week. At the end
of this harvest, Mainstream Canada will have no other populated sites in this
area.

5-12 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act.
