Mondi Group – Interim Dividends ZAR/euro Exchange Rate

This morning in our half-year results announcement we announced the Board
was pleased to resume the payment of dividends. The Board has declared a
dividend of 29.75 euro cents per ordinary share relating to the year ended 31
December 2019. In addition, the Board has declared an interim dividend of 19.00
euro cents per ordinary share for the year ending 31 December 2020.

Both dividends, amounting to a total of 48.75 euro cents per share, will be paid
as interim dividends on Tuesday 29 September 2020 to all Mondi plc ordinary
shareholders on either the UK main register or the South African branch register
on Friday 21 August 2020.

The same timetable will be followed for both.

Mondi plc will pay its dividends in euro. However, ordinary shareholders resident
in the United Kingdom will receive the dividends in sterling (unless shareholders
have elected to receive their dividend in euro). The last date for euro currency
elections will be Monday 7 September 2020. The exchange rate will be set on
Tuesday 15 September 2020.

Shareholders holding their shares on the South African branch register will
receive the dividends in South African rand cents, converted at a rate of EUR 1
to ZAR 20.80457. Therefore, the equivalent gross dividend relating to the year
ended 31 December 2019 in rand cents per ordinary share will be 618.93596 and
the equivalent gross 2020 interim dividend in rand cents per ordinary share will
be 395.28683.

For shareholders holding their shares on the South African branch register, the
dividend will, for South African dividends tax purposes, be taxed like local
dividends. As such, for South African tax resident shareholders holding their
shares on the South African branch register, dividends withholding tax will be
withheld from the dividends payable to these shareholders at a rate of 20%,
unless a shareholder qualifies for an exemption, resulting in a net dividend
relating to the year ended 31 December 2019 of 495.14877 rand cents per
ordinary share and a net 2020 interim dividend of 316.22946 rand cents per
ordinary share. Shareholders holding their shares on the South African branch
register who are not tax resident in South Africa are exempted from South
African dividends withholdings tax.

For the purposes of South Africa dividends tax reporting, the source of income
for the payment of the dividends is the United Kingdom.



Additional Information

The interim dividends will be paid from income reserves.

Mondi plc had a total of 485,553,780 ordinary shares in issue of which
135,556,939 were held on the branch register, excluding treasury shares, at the
dividend declaration date of 6 August 2020.
