Under the Facilities Agreement, the relevant Facilities will be repaid by:

by 31 August 2021 and tranche 3 by 31 August 2021, and in the case of the
Investment Facility – by 31 August 2021 (in the case of both investment facility

(or other entity acting as agent pursuant to the Facilities Agreement) may,
pursuant to the Facilities Agreement, notify the Company that the Facilities
must be prepaid immediately.

Re. 2 – Agreements related to the planned bond issue

On 9 September 2016, in connection with the programme and planned issue of Bonds
by the Company, the Company also entered into an Agency Agreement, an
Underwriting Agreement, and other agreements of a solely technical nature
related to the implementation of the Bonds issue programme. Under the Bonds
issue programme, the Company plans, under the first series, to issue series [ ]
Bonds of PLN 100,000,000 (one hundred million zlotys).

The subject matter of the Agency Agreement is the organisation by Haitong, which
will act as the issue agent, dealer, paying agent, calculation agent, technical
agent, administration agent and depositary, of the Bond issue programme.

Under the Underwriting Agreement for the planned issue of Bonds, Haitong agreed
to acquire those Bonds that are not placed on the market, for up to a total of
PLN 100,000,000 (one hundred million zlotys).

The agreements related to the planned issue of Bonds have been concluded under
Polish law and do not provide for the payment of contractual penalties. The
Company or Haitong may terminate the Agency Agreement and/or the Deposit
Transactions Agreement by giving 30 (thirty) days' notice. Both the Company and
Haitong may also terminate any of the above-mentioned agreement for the reasons
set out therein.

Re. 3 – The Intercreditor Agreement

The Company also informs investors that on […] 2016 one of the conditions
precedent stipulated in the Facilities Agreement was fulfilled, i.e. the
Intercreditor Agreement was concluded. It regulates the priority of satisfaction
of the creditors (the receivables set out in the Intercreditor Agreement will be
satisfied pari passu, save for intragroup receivables, which will be
subordinated to the Lenders' receivables), rules of pursuing claims, rules of
enforcing the security interests and release of security interests.

Under the Intercreditor Agreement claims with respect to the parallel debt,
comprising:

(i)     the Company's parallel debt;

(ii)    the parallel debt of the Company's selected subsidiaries – each being an
independent and separate claim of BGŻ BNP Paribas (acting as security agent)
against the relevant entity,

will be created.

The liabilities of the Company and each of the Guarantors under the parallel
debt, covering, among other things, the liabilities under the Facilities
Agreement and the Bonds, will be secured by the establishment of a security
package. On the basis of the liabilities under the parallel debt, each of the
above entities will be obliged to pay BGŻ BNP Paribas an amount that is the sum
of all of that entity's liabilities under the basic legal relationships covered
by the Intercreditor Agreement. The enforcement of any of the relevant entity's
liabilities results in the automatic enforcement of the parallel debt in a
corresponding amount. Payment by a relevant entity to BGŻ BNP Paribas of any
amount in respect of the parallel debt results in the automatic reduction of the
amount of the basic liabilities of that entity, the sum of which constitutes the
parallel debt, by the amount of such payment. The repayment of the basic
liabilities by the given entity results in the automatic reduction of the amount
of the parallel debt of that entity by the amount of such repayment.

The Intercreditor Agreement was concluded under English law and does not provide
for the payment of contractual penalties.

Ad. 4 – Security interests

The Company and the Guarantors will establish the following security for
repayment of the liabilities under the Intercreditor Agreement:

  ·  governed by Polish law (inter alia):

(i)     financial and registered pledges over all of the shares, registered in
Poland, held by the Company and the Guarantors, belonging to companies from the
Company's group (except for Rottneros AB, Arctic Paper Mochenwangen GmbH and
Arctic Paper Investment GmbH), save for the Company's shares;

(ii)    mortgages on all of the real properties located in Poland and belonging
to the Company or the Guarantors;

the Guarantors, located in Sweden, on condition that only the existing mortgage

(iii)   corporate mortgages granted by Guarantors incorporated in Sweden,
provided that such security shall only be granted over existing corporate
mortgage certificates;

(iv)  assignment of (existing and future) insurance policies relating to
Company's and Guarantors' assets (excluding insurance policies mentioned in the
Facilities Agreement);

(v)   pledges over the Swedish bank accounts of the Company and the Guarantors
registered in Sweden, on condition that such security does not restrict the
