This figure is subject to change as the design is finalized, bids from contractors are confirmed, and construction progresses.
• The company elected to comply with scaled disclosure requirements. This may impact investor perception.
• Recent increases in interest rates have raised the borrowing costs for the company, potentially impacting the ability to obtain necessary funds through debt financing. This could lead to delays in construction and financing, affecting the completion date, commercial stocking, and first sale of GE Atlantic salmon.
• The company relies on exemptions and may continue to do so in the future.
• Rising inflation rates could negatively impact revenues and profitability, particularly in the United States, due to recent price increases. The company may face challenges in managing production costs and timelines, affecting the harvest, sale, and delivery of salmon at a large commercial scale.
• The company does not anticipate paying cash dividends, relying on stock appreciation for return.

• Ineffective internal controls over financial reporting may result in inaccurate financial reporting, loss of credibility, and negative impacts on the trading price of common stock. This could affect the company's ability to raise additional funds and investor confidence.
