AgriMarine Announces Warrant Exercise Incentive Program

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 30, 2011) - AgriMarine Holdings Inc. (TSX VENTURE:FSH)(OTCQX:AGMHF)(PINK SHEETS:AGMHF)(FRANKFURT:A2G) (the "Company" or "AgriMarine"), the leader in floating solid-wall containment technology and production for sustainable aquaculture, announces the implementation of a warrant exercise incentive program (the "Incentive Program") intended to encourage the exercise of up to 11,320,510 outstanding common share purchase warrants of the Company which were issued as part of the Company's private placement in April 2010 (the "Eligible Warrants"). Each Eligible Warrant is currently exercisable for one common share of the Company at a price of $0.30. The Eligible warrants are listed below under the heading "Eligibility". The Incentive Program is subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V").

Summary of the Incentive Program

The Incentive Program will be open for a 20-day period (the "Exercise Period") that will run from December 1st through December 21, 2011. During the Exercise Period, holders who exercise their Eligible Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Incentive Program will receive one common share purchase warrant (an "Incentive Warrant") in addition to the common share issuable under the current terms of the Eligible Warrants. Each Incentive Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.25 for a period of one year from the date of issue.

A letter detailing the terms and conditions of the Incentive Program and the method of exercising the Eligible Warrants will be sent via electronic and regular mail to the registered address of each Eligible Warrant-holder, along with a subscription agreement to be completed by Warrant holders in relation to the issuance of the Incentive Warrants (collectively, the "Exercise Package"). The Exercise Package will be available on the Company's website at [ www.agrimarine.com ]. Holders of Eligible Warrants are welcome to contact the Company directly to request an Exercise Package.

Assuming exercise of all Eligible Warrants under the Incentive Program, the Company would receive gross proceeds of up to $3.4 million, issue up to 11,320,510 Common Shares pursuant to the exercise of the existing Warrants and issue up to 11,320,510 Incentive Warrants. Proceeds from the exercise of the Eligible Warrants will be used for general working capital purposes.

As part of the Incentive Program, the Company will pay cooperating parties who assist with contacting Eligible Warrant-holders a cash incentive of 2% on the total dollar value of warrants exercised by their clients, with a minimum commission of $50 per warrant holder, subject to compliance with TSX-V policies.

Eligibility

The Warrants eligible under the Incentive Program were originally issued pursuant to a non-brokered private placement which closed in tranches on the following dates:

Warrant Issue DateNumber of Warrants IssuedExercise PriceExpiry Date

June 18, 20101,250,000$0.30June 18, 2012

All Incentive Warrants issued will be subject to a hold period pursuant to applicable securities regulations commencing on the date of issuance of the Incentive Warrants. Any common shares issued upon the exercise of the Incentive Warrants within the hold period will be similarly restricted from trading for the balance of the hold period.

Insiders, Directors and Officers of the Company are excluded from participating in the Incentive Program. The Eligible Warrants are not listed on any stock exchange, nor will the Incentive Warrants.

If a Warrant holder elects not to exercise his or her Warrants prior to the end of the Exercise Period, such unexercised Warrants will remain outstanding and will continue to be exercisable for Common Shares on the same terms applicable to such Warrants as they existed prior to the Incentive Program.
