Mondi Group sells 25.1% interest in Mondi Hadera Paper Ltd

Mondi confirms that it has signed an agreement with Hadera Paper Ltd., for the
sale of 25.1% of its shares (the "Shares") in Mondi Hadera Paper Ltd. (the
"Company"). After completion of the transaction, Hadera Paper Ltd. will hold
75% of the shares in the Company and Mondi will retain a minority interest of
25%.

The Company is a non-integrated paper mill located in Israel with capacity to
produce 145,000 tonnes per annum of office and printing papers, which are
predominately sold in the local market.

The Shares are to be sold for a consideration of EUR10.4 million. The
consideration will be satisfied in cash at completion and will be used to
reduce Mondi's net debt. The value of the Company's gross assets amounted to
EUR84.9 million as of 31 December 2009 and its profit before tax for the year
ended 31 December 2009 amounted to EUR5.3 million. Net debt as of 31 December
2009 was EUR13.9m. It is estimated that the transaction will give rise to a
marginal gain on disposal.

With this divestiture Mondi's European uncoated fine paper business will focus
its development around the core central European and Russian production base
while retaining an exposure to the value inherent in the Company through its
remaining 25% interest.

The completion of the deal is conditional on the approval of the relevant
competition authorities.
