Omega Protein Corporation is the largest producer of fish oil in North America, vertically integrated from catch to production. This
fish in the herring family is found in abundant quantities in coastal waters off the US mid-Atlantic
and Gulf coasts. According to the federal National Marine Fisheries Service, the nation's menhaden
resource is healthy and self-renewing.
Omega Protein produces menhaden fish oil, containing long chain omega-3 essential fatty acids.
Omega Protein is a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange (trading symbol: OME).
Headquarters are located in Houston, Texas. Home ports for the company's fleet of fishing vessels
are found in Virginia, Mississippi and Louisiana, which also contain the company's four processing

OmegaPure: A Better Source of Omega-3
Consumers are actively seeking ways to better manage their health. This ongoing search continues to
fuel the media's intense interest in the health benefits linked to fish due to its high content of
essential long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. Yet nearly one-third of Americans refuse to eat fish.
OmegaPure provides an alternative for consuming more of these omega-3's. By delivering
long-chain omega-3 fatty acids in a product that is bland, odorless and kosher-certified, OmegaPure has removed the barriers that are associated with recommendations to eat more fish.
The benefits of omega-3 continue to draw the attention of researchers, consumers
and the media. Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of heart disease and provide a variety of other health benefits. Meanwhile, studies indicate that consumers are becoming activists in seeking foods and supplements
that protect their health. These consumers are well aware of the
contribution of this vital nutrient. This interest coincides with the aging of the huge Baby Boomer
population, which ensures that consumer trends will be led for the next 30 years by a health-conscious
audience that is focused on maintaining and enhancing their quality of life.
In this environment, OmegaPure can provide a timely solution to the consumer's desire for nutrients with proven health benefits. Menhaden oil meets the requirements of GRAS regulations to be used as a food ingredient. With OmegaPure, food processors and supplement companies have an
opportunity to provide consumers with what they want most, good food that is also healthy for them. For companies that care about the health of their customers, that's the ultimate
customer service.
