Independent registered auditor's report on the review of the interim condensed financial statements

To the Shareholders and the Supervisory Board of Arctic Paper S.A.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed financial statements of Arctic Paper S.A. (hereinafter called the Company), comprising the condensed statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023 and the condensed statement of comprehensive income, the condensed statement of changes in equity and the condensed statement of cash flows for the period from 1 January to 30 June 2023 and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these interim condensed financial statements in accordance with the International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed financial statements based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with the National Standard on Review Engagements 2410 in the wording of the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity as adopted by the National Council of Certified Auditors. A review of interim condensed financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.

A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with National Standards on Auditing. Consequently, it does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
