Atlantic Sapphire ASA, a pioneering land-based salmon farming company, has announced that it needs to secure $25-30 million in additional financing to have sufficient headroom to achieve EBITDA break-even on its Phase 1 operations. The company is in discussions with its largest shareholders and key stakeholders to secure the necessary funding, but no conclusion has been reached yet. If the company is unable to resolve its near-term liquidity requirement by March 31, 2026, it will be in technical default of certain agreements with lenders. As a result, the company has extended its current closed period and delayed the publication of its Annual Financial Accounts for the 2025 fiscal year from April 23 to April 30, 2026.

The company's ability to secure the necessary financing to maintain its operations and continue its expansion plans is crucial for its long-term success and the potential impact of its innovative approach to sustainable salmon farming.
