Explanation of resolutions

Resolutions 1 to 9 – re-election of directors

In accordance with governance best practice the Boards have decided that all directors will stand for re-election in 2015. The DLC nominations committee reviewed and recommended to the Boards the re-election of each of the directors. The committee has considered the collective skills, experience and independence of each of the non-executive directors. The 2014 board evaluation confirmed that each of the directors make an effective and valuable contribution to the Boards and demonstrate commitment to their respective roles, including as they relate to committees, and are therefore recommended for re-election.

Full biographical details of each director are set out in the Mondi Group Integrated report and financial statements 2014 on pages 60 to 63 and in the appendix to this Notice.

Resolutions 10 to 12 – election of DLC audit committee members

South African company law requires that, at each Annual General Meeting, the shareholders elect the members of an audit committee. The three members proposed, each an independent non-executive director of both Mondi Limited and Mondi plc, are Stephen Harris, John Nicholas and Anne Quinn. The DLC nominations committee reviewed the suitability and qualifications of each director as members of the DLC audit committee and considers that each of Stephen Harris, John Nicholas and Anne Quinn has adequate relevant financial knowledge and experience to fulfil their duties as members of the DLC audit committee.

Full biographical details of each director are set out in the Mondi Group Integrated report and financial statements 2014 on pages 62 and 63 and in the appendix to this Notice.

Resolutions 13 and 24 – 2014 Integrated report and financial statements

The directors of Mondi Limited and Mondi plc are required by company law to present the audited financial statements, together with the reports of the DLC audit committee, the directors and the auditors for the financial year ended 31 December 2014 of the respective company to the meeting.

Enclosed with this Notice of Annual General Meeting is a copy of the Mondi Group Integrated report and financial statements 2014 containing the audited combined and consolidated financial information of Mondi Limited and Mondi plc for the year ended 31 December 2014.

Resolutions 14 and 25 – directors' remuneration

Regulation in South Africa and the UK requires that the directors present a report on their remuneration during the period under review. The report for the year ended 31 December 2014 is set out on pages 94 to 113 of the Mondi Group Integrated report and financial statements 2014.

Due to Mondi's DLC structure and our need to comply with both South African and UK regulation, the structure of the remuneration report has been left largely unchanged from last year and comprises the directors' remuneration policy and the annual report on remuneration. The annual report on remuneration is being put to a non-binding advisory vote to Mondi plc shareholders, resolution 25. The directors' remuneration policy, which remains unchanged since it was approved by shareholders at the 2014 Annual General Meetings, is being tabled for a non-binding advisory vote to Mondi Limited shareholders in accordance with South African regulations, resolution 14. Under UK regulations the policy report is required to be put to a binding shareholder vote every three years (or sooner if changes are proposed) and is not being presented for Mondi plc shareholder approval at this meeting.

Explanation of resolutions continued

Resolution 15 – Special resolution number 1 – director fees

Regulation in South Africa requires that shareholders approve, by special resolution, the fees paid to directors for their services as directors. Resolution 15 is seeking approval to increase these fees for the non-executive directors by a maximum of 2.21% with effect from the date of this meeting.

The current and proposed level of fees for the non-executive directors are set out in the table below and explained more fully in the Mondi Group Integrated report and financial statements 2014 on page 101.

Item	Current fee	Proposed fee
Joint chairman fee1	£272,000	£278,000
Non-executive base fee	£43,500	£44,400
Supplement per meeting in home country (per day)	£1,630	£1,660
Supplement per meeting outside home country (per meeting)	£5,450	£5,560
Supplement for senior independent director and DLC remuneration committee chair	£16,350	£16,680
Supplement for DLC audit committee chair	£10,900	£11,100
Supplement for DLC sustainable development committee chair	£8,700	£8,870
Supplement for Mondi Limited social and ethics committee chair	£8,700	£8,870

1 No supplement is payable for additional commitments in relation to this role.

Resolutions 16 and 26 – final dividend

Final dividends for the year ended 31 December 2014 for Mondi Limited and Mondi plc of 379.38999 rand cents per ordinary share and 28.77 euro cents per ordinary share, respectively, are recommended by the directors. Shareholder approval for the declaration of these final dividends is required. If approved, the dividends will be paid on Thursday 21 May 2015 to shareholders on each share register on Friday 24 April 2015.

The directors of Mondi Limited have applied the solvency and liquidity tests contemplated in the South African Companies Act 71 of 2008 in terms of which it has been concluded that Mondi Limited will satisfy such tests immediately after completing the proposed distribution.

Resolutions 17, 18, 27 and 28 – reappointment and remuneration of auditors

South African and UK company law requires that, at each general meeting at which accounts are laid, Mondi Limited and Mondi plc appoint auditors who will remain in office until the next general meeting at which accounts are laid. The boards of Mondi Limited and Mondi plc, having accepted the recommendation of the DLC audit committee, propose that Deloitte & Touche and Deloitte LLP be reappointed as Mondi Limited and Mondi plc's auditors, respectively. Resolutions 17 and 27 relate to the reappointment and resolutions 18 and 28 will authorise the DLC audit committee to agree the auditors' remuneration.

Resolution 19 – Special resolution number 2 – financial assistance

This resolution is being proposed in order to comply with the requirements of sections 44 and 45 of the South African Companies Act 71 of 2008, to the extent that, on an interpretation thereof, the approval of shareholders is required for the directors to authorise any financial assistance by Mondi Limited. Sections 44 and 45 of the Act both provide, inter alia, that such financial assistance must be approved by a special resolution of the shareholders, adopted within the previous two years. Following such shareholder approval the directors may not authorise any such financial assistance unless they are satisfied that:

• i. immediately after providing the financial assistance, Mondi Limited would satisfy the solvency and liquidity test; and
• ii. the terms under which the financial assistance is proposed to be given are fair and reasonable to Mondi Limited.

In the normal course of business Mondi Limited is required to grant financial assistance to subsidiaries and other juristic persons in the Mondi Group, including but not limited to financial assistance in the form of loans, guarantees in favour of third parties, such as financial institutions, service providers and counterparties (in respect of the provision of banking facilities, acquisition transactions, project financing, debt capital and structured financing transactions) for the obligations of such subsidiaries and any persons related to such subsidiaries. This resolution will enable Mondi Limited to provide financial assistance within the Mondi Group which may be required from time to time in the normal course of business.

During the period since the passing of the equivalent resolution at the 2014 Annual General Meeting, the directors approved financial assistance relating to Mondi Shanduka Newsprint Proprietary Limited (ZAR185 million), Mondi Zimele Proprietary Limited (ZAR72 million) and Mondi Sacherie Moderne Holdings Proprietary Limited (€6 million).

Resolution 20 – general authority to the directors to issue Mondi Limited ordinary shares

This authority, in accordance with the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, grants the directors the authority to allot and issue or grant options to subscribe for, a number of shares equal to 5% of the issued ordinary shares of Mondi Limited.

Resolution 21 – general authority to the directors to issue Mondi Limited special converting shares

This authority, in accordance with the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, grants the directors the authority to allot and issue or grant options to subscribe for, a number of shares equal to 5% of the issued special converting shares of Mondi Limited.

The special converting shares are very specific to the Mondi dual listed company (DLC) administration and can only be used upon termination of the DLC arrangements.

The special converting shares are shares issued by Mondi Limited that are held by a South African trust and which convert into ordinary shares only in the event of and upon termination of the DLC structure so as to ensure economic equalisation for shareholders. Mondi plc also has a number of special converting shares in issue to a UK trust. The two companies are required under the DLC agreements to ensure that the correct number of special converting shares is always in issue. Therefore, should the authority under resolution 29 (relating to the number of Mondi plc ordinary shares in issue) be used, an equivalent authority is required in respect of the special converting shares of Mondi Limited in order to maintain the protection for shareholders. Equalisation on termination is achieved by ensuring that the shareholders of each company receive such shares in the other company as will ensure that they have the same proportionate holding in each of the companies as they previously had in the combined group. Prior to termination of the DLC structure the special converting shares have limited rights.

Resolution 22 – authority to allot Mondi Limited shares for cash

Resolution 22 provides authority to the directors to allot shares for cash other than by way of rights issue in respect of Mondi Limited up to the limit specified in the resolution. In such circumstances, the directors confirm that, as and when they exercise such authority, they intend to follow emerging best practice as regards its use as recommended by the Investment Association.

The directors also confirm that the exercise of any such authority would be subject to the following specific limitations as required by the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited:

• i. this authority shall not extend beyond the next Annual General Meeting of Mondi Limited to be held in 2016;
• ii. the equity securities which are the subject of the issue for cash shall be of a class already in issue, or where this is not the case, shall be limited to such securities or rights that are convertible into a class already in issue;
• iii. a paid press announcement giving full details, as prescribed by the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, will be published at the time of an issue representing, on a cumulative basis within one financial year, 5% or more of the number of ordinary shares in issue prior to such issue;
• iv. the issue in the aggregate in any one financial year will not exceed 15% of Mondi Limited's listed equity securities as at the date of the Notice of Annual General Meeting (although it should be noted that the resolution limits the directors to a maximum of 5% of the ordinary shares in issue);
• v. in determining the price at which an allotment and issue of ordinary shares may be made in terms of this authority, the maximum discount permitted will be 10% of the weighted average traded price of the ordinary shares in question as determined over the 30 business days prior to the date the price of the issue is determined or agreed between Mondi Limited and the party subscribing for the securities; and
• vi. the equity securities/shares must be issued to public shareholders and not to related parties.

In terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, the approval of 75% of the votes cast in favour of this resolution by all equity securities holders present or represented by proxy at the Annual General Meeting is required to approve this resolution.

Resolution 23 – Special resolution number 3 – Mondi Limited purchase of own shares

The reason and effect of resolution 23 is to grant a renewable general authority to Mondi Limited, or a subsidiary of Mondi Limited, to acquire ordinary shares in Mondi Limited which are in issue from time to time in terms of the following Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited (JSE) (as presently constituted and as amended from time to time):

• i. any such acquisition of ordinary shares be effected through the order book operated by the JSE trading system and done without any prior understanding or arrangement between Mondi Limited and the counterparty;
• ii. authorisation thereto is given by Mondi Limited's Memorandum of Incorporation;
• iii. this general authority shall be valid until Mondi Limited's next Annual General Meeting or 15 months from the date of passing this special resolution, whichever is earlier;

08 Explanation of resolutions continued

• iv. an announcement will be published as soon as Mondi Limited or any of its subsidiaries has acquired ordinary shares constituting, on a cumulative basis, 3% of the number of ordinary shares in issue prior to the acquisition pursuant to which the aforesaid 3% threshold is reached, and for each 3% in aggregate acquired thereafter, containing full details of such acquisitions;
• v. acquisitions of ordinary shares in aggregate in any one financial year may not exceed 20% of Mondi Limited's issued ordinary share capital of that class as at the date of passing of this resolution (although it should be noted that the directors will limit any purchase to a maximum of 5% of the issued ordinary share capital);
• vi. the number of ordinary shares purchased and held by a subsidiary or subsidiaries of Mondi Limited shall not exceed 10% in aggregate of the number of issued shares of Mondi Limited at the relevant time;
• vii. in determining the price at which ordinary shares issued by Mondi Limited are acquired by it or any of its subsidiaries in terms of this general authority, the maximum premium at which such ordinary shares may be acquired will be 10% of the weighted average of the market value at which such ordinary shares are traded on the JSE as determined over the five business days immediately preceding the date of repurchase of such ordinary shares by Mondi Limited or any of its subsidiaries;
• viii. at any point in time, Mondi Limited or any of its subsidiaries may only appoint one agent to effect any repurchase on Mondi Limited's behalf;
• ix. Mondi Limited or any of its subsidiaries may not repurchase any shares during a prohibited period as defined by the Listings Requirements of the JSE, unless they have in place a repurchase programme where the dates and quantities of securities to be traded during the relevant period are fixed (not subject to any variation) and has been submitted to the JSE in writing. Mondi Limited must instruct an independent third party, which makes its investment decisions in relation to its securities independently of and uninfluenced by Mondi, prior to the commencement of the prohibited period to execute the repurchase programme submitted to the JSE; and
• x. the directors have passed a resolution authorising the repurchase, confirming that Mondi Limited, and its subsidiaries, have passed the solvency and liquidity test and that from the time the test was done there were no material changes to the financial position of the Group.

The directors of Mondi Limited have no present intention of making any repurchases but believe that Mondi Limited should retain the flexibility to take action if future repurchases were considered desirable and in the best interests of shareholders. The directors of Mondi Limited are of the opinion that, after considering the effect of such acquisition of ordinary shares, if implemented and on the assumption that Mondi Limited acquires the maximum of 5% of the current issued ordinary share capital of Mondi Limited at the last practical date prior to the date of the Notice of Annual General Meeting of Mondi Limited convened for 13 May 2015 or during a period of 12 months after the date of the Notice of Annual General Meeting of Mondi Limited:

• Mondi Limited and its subsidiaries will be able, in the ordinary course of business, to pay its debts;
• the consolidated assets of Mondi Limited and its subsidiaries, fairly valued in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, will be in excess of the consolidated liabilities of Mondi Limited and its subsidiaries;
• Mondi Limited and its subsidiaries will have adequate capital and reserves for ordinary business purposes; and
• the working capital of Mondi Limited and its subsidiaries will be adequate for ordinary business purposes. Mondi Limited will ensure that its sponsor will provide the necessary letter on the adequacy of the working capital in terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE, prior to the commencement of any purchase of Mondi Limited's shares on the open market.

• share capital of Mondi Limited integrated report and financial statements page 156.

Resolution 29 – directors' authority to allot Mondi plc shares

The purpose of resolution 29 is to renew the directors of Mondi plc's power to allot shares. The authority will allow the directors of Mondi plc to allot new shares and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert other securities into, shares up to a maximum nominal amount of €4,855,537.60, as set out in the table below and exclusive of treasury shares, which is equivalent to approximately 5% of the issued capital:

	Number of shares	Par value	Relative part of section 551 amount
Ordinary shares	18,362,040	€0.20	€3,672,408.00
Special converting shares	5,915,648	€0.20	€1,183,129.60
Total			€4,855,537.60

This authority covers the issued ordinary share capital of Mondi plc, as would normally be the case for a UK company at its Annual General Meeting, but also the issued special converting shares of Mondi plc. An authority is included for the special converting shares to enable the directors of Mondi plc to issue these as and when required in accordance with the agreements which constitute Mondi's dual listed company structure (this is explained in more detail on page 7).

At 13 March 2015 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice), Mondi plc did not hold any shares in treasury.

There are no present plans to undertake a rights issue or to allot new shares. The directors of Mondi plc consider it desirable to have the flexibility permitted by corporate governance guidelines to respond to market developments and to enable allotments to take place to finance business opportunities as they arise.

Although UK companies would generally seek an authority over 33.3% of issued capital, Mondi plc is aware that the investment community in South Africa prefers to see this authority restricted to no more than 5% of issued capital. In view of the dual listed company structure, Mondi plc has decided to limit the authority to 5%.

If the resolution is passed, the authority will expire at the end of the Annual General Meeting of Mondi plc to be held in 2016 or, if earlier, 30 June 2016.

Resolution 30 – Special resolution number 4 – disapplication of Mondi plc pre-emption rights

If the directors of Mondi plc wish to allot new shares and other equity securities, or sell treasury shares, for cash (other than in connection with an employee share scheme), UK company law requires that these shares are offered first to shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings.

The purpose of resolution 30 is to authorise the directors of Mondi plc to allot new shares pursuant to the authority given by resolution 29, or to sell treasury shares, for cash (i) in connection with a Rights Issue (as defined in the Mondi plc Articles of Association) or (ii) otherwise up to a maximum aggregate nominal value of €3,672,408, which is equivalent to 5% of the issued ordinary share capital of Mondi plc as at 13 March 2015 (being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice), in each case without the shares first being offered to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings. The authority will expire at the end of the next Annual General Meeting of Mondi plc to be held in 2016 or, if earlier, 30 June 2016.

The directors confirm that, as and when they exercise such authorities, they intend to follow emerging best practice as regards its use as recommended in the Investment Association guidelines.

In accordance with the provisions of the Pre-emption Group's Statement of Principles, the directors do not intend to issue more than 7.5% of the total issued ordinary share capital of Mondi plc for cash on a non pre-emptive basis (other than pursuant to a rights issue or pre-emptive offer) in any rolling three year period without prior consultation with shareholders and the investment committees of the Investment Association and the National Association of Pension Funds.

10 Explanation of resolutions continued

The directors also confirm that pursuant to the dual listed company structure, the exercise of any such authority would be subject to the following specific limitations as required by the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited:

• i. this authority shall not extend beyond the next Annual General Meeting of Mondi plc to be held in 2016;
• ii. the equity securities which are the subject of the issue for cash shall be of a class already in issue or, where this is not the case, shall be limited to such securities or rights that are convertible into a class already in issue;
• iii. a paid press announcement giving full details, as prescribed by the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, will be published at the time of an issue representing, on a cumulative basis within one financial year, 5% or more of the number of ordinary shares in issue prior to such issue;
• iv. the issue in the aggregate in any one financial year will not exceed 15% of Mondi plc's listed equity securities as at the date of the Notice of Annual General Meeting (although it should be noted that the resolution limits the directors to a maximum of 5% of the ordinary shares in issue);
• v. in determining the price at which an allotment and issue of ordinary shares may be made in terms of this authority, the maximum discount permitted will be 10% of the weighted average traded price of the ordinary shares in question as determined over the 30 business days prior to the date that the price of the issue is determined or agreed between Mondi plc and the party subscribing for the securities; and
• vi. the equity securities/shares must be issued to public shareholders and not to related parties.

The directors of Mondi plc consider the authority in resolution 30 to be appropriate in order to allow Mondi plc flexibility to finance business opportunities without the need to comply with the strict requirements of the statutory pre-emption provisions.

Resolution 31 – Special resolution number 5 – Mondi plc purchase of own shares

The directors of Mondi plc consider it may, in certain circumstances, be in the best interests of shareholders generally for Mondi plc to purchase its own ordinary shares. Accordingly, the effect of this resolution is to renew the general authority, subject to specified limits, granted to Mondi plc to purchase its own ordinary shares, until the Annual General Meeting in 2016 or, if earlier, 30 June 2016. You are asked to consent to the purchase by Mondi plc of up to a maximum of 18,362,040 ordinary shares of €0.20 each. This represents 5% of the ordinary shares in issue as at 13 March 2015 and Mondi plc's exercise of this authority is subject to the stated upper and lower limits on the price payable.

As of 13 March 2015 (the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice), there were options outstanding over 2,232,013 ordinary shares, representing 0.61% of Mondi plc's issued ordinary share capital at that date. If the authority to buy back shares was exercised in full, the total number of options to subscribe for ordinary shares would represent 0.64% of Mondi plc's reduced issued ordinary share capital.

The directors of Mondi plc have no present intention of making any purchases of its own ordinary shares, but believe that Mondi plc should retain the flexibility to take further action if future purchases were considered desirable and in the best interests of shareholders. Pursuant to the UK Companies Act 2006, Mondi plc can hold the shares which have been repurchased itself as treasury shares and either resell them for cash, cancel them, either immediately or at a point in the future, or use them for the purposes of its employee share schemes. The directors of Mondi plc believe that it is desirable for Mondi plc to have this choice and therefore intend to hold any shares purchased under this authority as treasury shares. Holding the repurchased shares as treasury shares will give Mondi plc the ability to resell them or transfer them in the future, and so provide Mondi plc with additional flexibility in the management of its capital base. No dividends will be paid on, and no voting rights will be exercised in respect of, treasury shares.

14 Notes to the Notice of Annual General Meeting

Joint Electorate Actions

1. All of the resolutions are Joint Electorate Actions under the Articles of Association of Mondi plc and, accordingly, both the holders of ordinary shares in Mondi plc and the holder of the special voting share in Mondi plc are entitled to vote. Voting will be on a poll which will remain open for sufficient time to allow the Mondi Limited Annual General Meeting to be held and for the votes of the holder of the Mondi plc special voting share to be ascertained on a poll.

On the poll:

• i. each fully paid ordinary share in Mondi plc (other than those subject to voting restrictions) will have one vote;
• ii. the holder of the Mondi plc special voting share will cast the same number of votes as were validly cast for and against the equivalent resolution by Mondi Limited shareholders on the poll at the Mondi Limited Annual General Meeting;
• iii. the holder of the Mondi plc special voting share will be obliged to cast these votes for and against the relevant resolution in accordance with the votes cast for and against the equivalent resolution by Mondi Limited shareholders on the poll at the Mondi Limited Annual General Meeting;
• iv. through this mechanism, the votes of the Mondi Limited shareholders at the Mondi Limited Annual General Meeting will be reflected at Mondi plc's Annual General Meeting in respect of each Joint Electorate Action; and
• v. the results of the Joint Electorate Actions will be announced after both polls have closed.

Proxy appointment

• 1. Members are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of their rights to attend, to speak and to vote on their behalf at the meeting. A shareholder may appoint more than one proxy in relation to the Annual General Meeting provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by that shareholder. A proxy need not be a shareholder of either Mondi Limited or Mondi plc but must attend the meeting to represent you. Members can register their proxy appointment electronically or use the proxy form accompanying this Notice to make a proxy appointment and give proxy instructions.
• 1. For shareholders on the UK share register, electronic voting facilities are available to all shareholders to register the appointment of their proxy through the Capita website at www.capitashareportal.com where full instructions are given. The Investor Code (IVC) and post code as printed on the proxy form or a recent dividend tax voucher will be required to use this electronic proxy appointment system. A proxy appointment made electronically will not be valid if sent to any electronic address other than those provided or if received after 10:30 (UK time) on Monday 11 May 2015. Please note that any electronic communication found to contain a computer virus will not be accepted.
• 1. Alternatively, to appoint a proxy by post, complete the proxy form in accordance with the instructions printed thereon. The proxy form, and any power of attorney or authority under which it is executed (or a duly certified copy of any such power or authority), must be sent to Mondi plc's registrars:

For shareholders on the UK share register to Capita Asset Services, PXS, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, BR3 4TU, UK by post or delivered by hand (during normal business hours only) in each case so as to be received no later than 10:30 (UK time) on Monday 11 May 2015;

1. The return of a completed proxy form, or other such instrument or any voting instruction given electronically through the Capita website or a CREST Proxy Instruction (as described in paragraph 11 below) will not prevent a shareholder attending the Annual General Meeting and voting in person if he/she wishes to do so.

Nominated persons

1. Any person to whom this Notice is sent who is a person nominated under section 146 of the UK Companies Act 2006 to enjoy information rights (a 'Nominated Person') may, under an agreement between him/her and the shareholder by whom he/she was nominated, have a right to be appointed (or to have someone else appointed) as a proxy for the Annual General Meeting. If a Nominated Person has no such proxy appointment right or does not wish to exercise it, he/she may, under any such agreement, have a right to give instructions to the shareholder as to the exercise of voting rights.

2. The statement of the rights of shareholders in relation to the appointment of proxies in paragraphs 2 to 5 above does not apply to Nominated Persons. The rights described in these paragraphs can only be exercised by members of Mondi plc.

Entitlement to attend and vote

1. To be entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting (and for the purpose of the determination by Mondi plc of the votes that may be cast), shareholders on the UK share register must be registered in the register of members of Mondi plc as at 18:00 (UK time) on Monday 11 May 2015 (or, in the event of any adjournment, at 18:00 (UK time) on the date which is two working days (as defined in section 1173(i) of the UK Companies Act 2006) before the day of the adjourned meeting). Shareholders on the South African branch register must be registered on the branch register as at 18:00 (SA time) on Friday 8 May 2015 in order to be entitled to attend and vote at the meeting. Changes to entries on either share register after the relevant deadlines will be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote (and the number of votes they may cast) at the meeting or adjourned meeting.

Total voting rights

1. Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to attend and vote at general meetings of Mondi plc. The total number of issued ordinary shares in Mondi plc on 13 March 2015, which is the latest practicable date before the publication of this Notice, is 367,240,805. The total number of votes attaching to the special voting share of Mondi plc issued to Mondi SCS (UK) Limited, to reflect the votes of Mondi Limited shareholders on Joint Electorate Actions, pursuant to the DLC structure is 118,312,975. Therefore the aggregate number of votes on any Joint Electorate Action is 485,553,780.

Appointment of proxies through CREST

• 1. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the meeting (and any adjournment of the meeting) by following the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST Personal Members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.
• 1. In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message ('a CREST Proxy Instruction') must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited's specifications, and must contain the information required for such instruction, as described in the CREST Manual (available at www.euroclear.com/CREST). The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent (ID: RA10) by 10:30 (UK time) on Monday 11 May 2015. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.
• 1. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors, or voting service providers, should note that Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will, therefore, apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member, or sponsored member, or has appointed a voting service provider, to procure that his CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting system providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.
• 1. Mondi plc may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.

Corporate representatives

1. Any corporation which is a member of Mondi plc can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all of its powers as a member, provided that they do not do so in relation to the same shares.

Notes to the Notice of Annual General Meeting

continued

Auditors

1. Shareholders should note that, pursuant to requests made by shareholders of Mondi plc meeting the threshold requirements set out in section 527 of the UK Companies Act 2006, Mondi plc may be required to publish on a website a statement setting out any matter relating to: (i) the audit of Mondi plc's accounts (including the auditor's report and the conduct of the audit) that are to be laid before the Annual General Meeting; or (ii) any circumstance connected with an auditor of Mondi plc ceasing to hold office since the previous general meeting at which annual accounts and reports were laid in accordance with section 437 of the UK Companies Act 2006. Mondi plc may not require the shareholders requesting any such website publication to pay its expenses in complying with sections 527 or 528 of the UK Companies Act 2006. Where Mondi plc is required to place a statement on a website under section 527 of the UK Companies Act 2006, it must forward the statement to its auditor before it makes the statement available on the website. The business which may be dealt with at the Annual General Meeting includes any statement that Mondi plc has been required to publish on a website under section 527 of the UK Companies Act 2006.

Polls

1. Each of the resolutions to be put to the meeting will be voted on by poll and not by show of hands. A poll reflects the number of voting rights exercisable by each member and so the directors consider it a more democratic method of voting.

Right to ask questions

1. Any member attending the Annual General Meeting has the right to ask questions. Mondi plc must cause to be answered any such question relating to the business being dealt with at the meeting but no such answer need be given if (i) to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the meeting or involve the disclosure of confidential information, (ii) the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question, or (iii) it is undesirable in the interests of Mondi plc or good order of the meeting that the question be answered.

Website information

1. A copy of this Notice and other information required by section 311A of the UK Companies Act 2006 can be found on the Mondi Group website at: www.mondigroup.com.

Documents available for inspection

1. Copies of the executive directors' service contracts and the terms of appointment of the non-executive directors will be available at the registered offices of Mondi Limited and Mondi plc during normal business hours on any business day (excluding public holidays) and also at the Annual General Meeting venues for at least 15 minutes prior to and during the meetings.
