Pan Fish CEO Atle Eide had announced at the presentation of the first quarterly result that Pan Pelagic would be sold to Pan Pelagic's Managing Director, Arne Stang.

The purchasing price agreed for the shares is MNOK 70 in cash. In total this reduces the Pan Fish group's net interest-bearing debt by MNOK 180 due to the sale /separation of Pelagic.

The sale of the shares will mean an accounting loss of around MNOK 85 for Pan Fish. Further, the demerger of Pan Pelagic will mean that Pan Fish writes off an outstanding receivable of around MNOK 154.
