MND / MNP - Mondi Organisational Alignment Mondi Limited (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Registration number: 1967/013038/06) JSE share code: MND ISIN: ZAE000097051 Mondi plc (Incorporated in England and Wales) (Registration number: 6209386) JSE share code: MNP ISIN: GB00B1CRLC47 LSE share code: MNDI As part of the dual listed company structure, Mondi Limited and Mondi plc (together `Mondi Group`) notify both the JSE Limited and the London Stock Exchange of matters required to be disclosed under the JSE listings requirements and/or the Disclosure and Transparency and Listing Rules of the United Kingdom Listing Authority. Mondi organisational alignment Mondi today confirmed that it has entered into consultations with staff at its Merebank site, as well as with the relevant unions, regarding the proposed mothballing of its PM32 paper machine (representing a 120 000 tonne capacity reduction per annum) as well as the reorganisation of its newsprint and paper production operations. This is in response to a strong decline in sales margins and low market prices in the fine paper business and a reduction in international selling prices of Newsprint. The remaining two fine paper machines, PM31 and PM33 have sufficient capacity to meet market demand in the current conditions. Following completion of the consultation process, in total approximately 240 employees may be affected by this organisational alignment, which represents around 4.1 percent of Mondi`s permanent employee complement in South Africa. Mondi advised that it will offer support to employees, in addition to severance packages, subject to consultation with staff and their representatives.
