Breakthrough for Superba(TM) Krill in China

Aker BioMarine has today signed a major agreement with a Chinese manufacturer of
dietary supplements with strong distribution capabilities in China. In the five
year agreement, Aker BioMarine will be the exclusive supplier of krill products
to the customer. The customer will launch Superba(TM) Krill into several
channels in the Chinese market.

The customer has committed to purchase minimum 230 tons of Superba(TM) Krill
over the five year contract. This volume is likely to ramp up over time.


"This is a breakthrough for us in Asia, and particularly in China. We now get a
strong partner with local presence and knowledge, broad reach and resources to
build the Superba(TM) Krill market in China says Matts Johansen, Executive Vice
President, Aker BioMarine.



Delivery to the customer will start as soon as they obtain import license. The
agreement follows Aker BioMarine`s systematic work towards the Asian market over
the last year.
