SalMar Agrees to Buy 70% of Måsøval for NOK 3.4 Billion
- SalMar agreed on 8 July 2026 to buy Heimstø AS's 85,727,553 Måsøval shares, about 70% of the company, for NOK 39.50 each - about NOK 3.4 billion[1][4]
- 10% of the price is paid in 733,906 new SalMar shares valued at NOK 461.40, the rest in cash; the deal values all of Måsøval at about NOK 4.84 billion[1]
- The price is a 71.7% premium to Måsøval's close before Heimstø put its stake under strategic review in March 2026[3]
- SalMar will offer minority shareholders the same NOK 39.50 a share after completion, which needs regulatory approval[1]
- Both companies were founded on Frøya in Central Norway; the Måsøval family helped establish SalMar in 1991, and Måsøval's 370 employees produce around 1% of the world's salmon[1][3]
- In September Frøy Havbruk terminated its agreement to farm its licences at Måsøval's sites[2]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
