Mondi Group – Special dividend euro/sterling exchange rate

Shareholders are referred to the circular published by Mondi plc (“Mondi” or the
“Company”) on Tuesday 19 December 2023 in respect of the proposed special dividend
and associated share consolidation and related matters (the “Circular”).

On 19 December 2023 Mondi announced that a special dividend of 160 euro cents per
ordinary share will be paid on Tuesday 13 February 2024 to all Mondi ordinary
shareholders on either the UK main register or the South African branch register on Friday
26 January 2024.

Mondi will pay the special dividend in euro. However, ordinary shareholders resident in
the United Kingdom will receive the dividend in sterling (unless such shareholders have
elected to receive their dividends in euro). The last date for euro currency elections was
Friday 26 January 2024. It was stated in the announcement on 19 December 2023 that
the euro/sterling exchange rate for the special dividend payment would be set today.
Accordingly, it is confirmed that sterling dividend payments will be converted at a rate of
EUR 1 to GBP 0.85298. Therefore, the equivalent special dividend in pence per ordinary
share will be 136.4768.

Shareholders holding their shares on the South African branch register will receive the
special dividend in South African rand cents, converted at a rate of EUR 1 to ZAR
20.26652. Therefore, the equivalent gross special dividend in rand cents per ordinary
share will be 3,242.64320.

Information relating to the dividend tax applicable to shareholders on the South African
branch register can be found in the ZAR/euro exchange rate announcement released by
Mondi on 19 December 2023.
