Reference  is made  to the  announcement by  China Fishery  Group Limited (CFGL)
today regarding their acquisition of shares in Copeinca ASA.

The  board  of  directors  of  Copeinca  (the  "Board") notes that the mentioned
acquisition  was one of two recent  transactions announced between affiliates of
CFGL as buyers and Mr. Ivan Orlic as vendor, respectively, with reference to the
announcement  yesterday  by  Golden  Target  Pacific  Limited in relation to its
acquisition  of shares in Camposol Holding Plc. The Board further notes that the
announced  acquisition of shares in Copeinca does not increase the overall level
of  pre-acceptances and other support that  CFGL has already announced   that they
have.

As per earlier announcements, the Board is, together with its advisors, actively
considering  any  and  all  available  options  to  maximize  shareholder value,
including  by soliciting interest from potential alternative bidders. As stated,
the Board will disclose its recommendations and further relevant developments in
due  course but is at this point pleased to note that interesting dialogues have
already  been  established  with  potentially  interested  parties  attracted by
Copeinca's leading operational platform and market position.

Again, the Board strongly advises shareholders to refrain from taking any action
in  respect  of  their  shares  in  Copeinca  which  may be prejudicial to their
interests, and to exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the Company.
