Forward-looking statementsCertain statements in this release that are neither reported financial results nor other historical information, are forward-looking statements, including but not limited tostatements that are predictions of or indicate future earnings, savings, synergies, events, trends, plans or objectives. The words “believe”, “anticipate”, “expect”,“intend”, “estimate”, “plan”, “assume”, “positioned”, “will”, “may”, “should”, “risk” and other similar expressions, which are predictions of or indicate future events andfuture trends and which do not relate to historical matters, identify forward-looking statements. In addition, this document includes forward-looking statements relatingto our potential exposure to various types of market risks, such as interest rate risk, foreign exchange rate risk and commodity price risk. You should not rely onforward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are in some cases beyond our control and maycause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by suchforward-looking statements (and from past results, performance or achievements). Certain factors that may cause such differences include but are not limited to:

• the highly cyclical nature of the pulp and paper industry (and the factors that contribute to such cyclicality, such as levels of demand, production capacity, production, input costs including raw material, energy and employee costs, and pricing);

• the impact on our business of adverse changes in global economic conditions;• unanticipated production disruptions (including as a result of planned or unexpected power outages);• changes in environmental, tax and other laws and regulations;• adverse changes in the markets for our products;• the emergence of new technologies and changes in consumer trends including increased preferences for digital media;• consequences of our leverage, including as a result of adverse changes in credit markets that affect our ability to raise capital when needed;• adverse changes in the political situation and economy in the countries in which we operate or the effect of governmental efforts to address present or future

economic or social problems;• the impact of restructurings, investments, acquisitions, dispositions and other strategic initiatives (including related financing), any delays, unexpected costs or

other problems experienced in connection with dispositions or with integrating acquisitions or implementing restructurings or other strategic initiatives, and achieving expected savings and synergies;

• currency fluctuations.We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any of these forward-looking statements, whether to reflect new information or future events or circumstances or otherwise.

Dissolving wood pulp (DWP) DWP is the most abundant natural organic polymer on earth and is

found in all plant materials The plant material (wood from certified forests or plantations) is

processed and purified by applying specialised chemistry to extract the cellulose polymers from the wood

The purified natural wood cellulose fibres are further dissolved by our customers and regenerated or reformed for a host of applications

Why dissolving wood pulp?Capitalising on MEGA-TRENDS

Global population growth from a current 6.9bn to 8.3bn by 2030

Increasing need for food and clothes

Increasing need for more comfortable clothing

Rising urbanisation and standard of living in the greater Asian region Asian middle class population is likely to

grow from current 1.9bn to 2.7bn people by 2030

Asian consumers are likely to spend US$32 trillion/year by 2030, accounting for 43% of total global consumption

Cellulose gap theoryDissolving wood pulp share of the textiles market is expected to grow further

Production of cotton is forecast to remain stagnant or shrink

Growth in total fibre consumption will be covered by man-made fibres

However, certain moisture management properties of cellulose fibres cannot be substituted by oil-based synthetic fibres, enhancing opportunity for cellulosics
