Producer faces multiple charges

The indictment concerns the company's aquaculture facility in Lenvik municipality in the period June 2012 to February 2013.

The indictment reserves the right to also request that the court confiscates dividend for saved costs by not implementing sea lice reducing measures, and loss of rights in the form of loss of the right to exercise awarded green licenses to farm salmon, trout and rainbow trout of 11 April 2014 and the right to exercise co-localisation of green licenses belonging to NRS Feøy AS of 17 December 2014. Nord Senja Laks AS was in 2014 awarded two green licenses.

Norway Royal Salmon ASA owns 66.67% of the shares in Nord Senja Laks AS.

“Nord Senja Laks AS has only received the indictment, but we will acquire an overview of the case which covers the period June 2012 - February 13. The company does not have any further information and has therefore no possibility to have any considerations about this issue. Regardless of the outcome of this case, we regard it as very serious that such charges are brought against one of our subsidiaries. We await further handling of the case,” says Charles Høstlund,

CEO of Norway Royal Salmon.
