Under ITEM 3, it is proposed to change the name of the Company to "Mowi ASA", in connection with a revised corporate strategy and the launch of a global brand "MOWI".

The new "MOWI" brand is aimed at the upper echelon of the salmon market in terms of quality and sales price.

Rebranding expenses are estimated at EUR 35 million to be recognized in the course of the next two years. ECGS has no (major) concerns over the proposal and accordingly recommends to vote FOR.
