Report Publication Announcement • May 21, 2010

Normal production restored at Norske Skog Bio Bio in Chile

Norske Skog Bio Bio in Chile was hit by an earthquake in February 2010. As a

consequence, all production at the mill was stopped.

The mill started up on April 30, 2010. The Bio Bio mill in Conception is now

returned to normal operations. The force majeure announcement of 3 March 2010 is

therefore revoked.
