The latest update is out from Atlantic Sapphire ( (AASZF) ).
Atlantic Sapphire ASA, a pioneer in land-based Bluehouse salmon farming, operates an industrial facility in Homestead, Florida designed to supply fresh salmon close to U.S. consumers. The company has already completed its first U.S. commercial harvest and is progressing a phased expansion that aims to lift annual production capacity well beyond current levels as it scales up its U.S. operations.
The company has received an indicative USD 10 million bridge loan proposal from a group of major shareholders and convertible lenders, forming part of a wider refinancing plan to address a debt load exceeding USD 114 million. The potential deal, which would involve a low-priced tender offer, a heavily discounted rights issue, and conversion or write-down of existing loans, would significantly reshape the capital structure, dilute existing shareholders and could ultimately lead to compulsory acquisition, as the board explores all options with advisers to secure long-term funding.
