Mondi Group signs an agreement to acquire Uralplastic

Mondi Group has signed an agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding share capital of
ZAO Uralplastic-N (“Uralplastic”) from Joint Stock Company Rusnano and a private investor.

Uralplastic operates one plant near Ekaterinburg, in the Ural region of Russia and
manufactures a range of consumer flexible packaging products for food, hygiene, homecare
and other applications. The company serves both local and international customers. For the
year ended 31 December 2015 Uralplastic generated revenues of RUB1,988 million (EUR 29.2
million) and adjusted EBITDA of RUB318 million (EUR 4.7 million).

Commenting on the acquisition, David Hathorn, Chief executive of Mondi Group, said: “The
acquisition of Uralplastic supports the development of our Consumer Packaging business and
strengthens our presence in the Russian consumer packaging market, complementing our
existing plant in Pereslavl, near Moscow and allowing us to improve our offering to customers
in this growing market.”

The transaction is expected to complete in July 2016.
