              Norsk Hydro: Primary insiders to purchase shares under programs for Long Term Incentive and shares to employees

              Following approval by Norsk Hydro ASA's Annual General Meeting in 2010, the Board of Directors established a Long Term Incentive (LTI) in the form of a remuneration of 30 percent and 25 percent of annual base salary for the President and CEO and the other members of the Corporate Management Board respectively. The LTI payment requires that Hydro has had a positive underlying EBIT in the previous year. The participants will be required to invest the net amount after tax in Hydro shares and such shares must be held for at least three years.

              The following primary insiders will on April 7, 2015, acquire Hydro shares under the above mentioned program at NOK 46.70 per share.
