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

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

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Arctic Paper Group (hereinafter called "the Group"), having Arctic Paper S.A. as its parent company (hereinafter called "the Parent Company"), comprising the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023 and the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity, the condensed consolidated 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 of the Parent's Company is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these interim condensed consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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.
