PRESS RELEASE

                                                                January 28, 2015

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RELATED TO AQUISITION

Due  to, i.a., the  acquisition of MeadWestvaco  Corporation's European tobacco,
chocolate  confectionery and consumer apparel packaging operations ("MWV Folding
Carton"),  the  company  has  decided  to  publish additional information on the
transaction  and its implications on  AR Packaging that may  be considered to be
price  sensitive for  its outstanding  EUR 80 million  senior secured  bond loan
listed on Nasdaq Stockholm.

  * The value of the transaction is approximately EUR 70 million.
  * AR Packaging estimates that the acquired business generates approximately
    EUR 18 million in EBITDA for 2014 (including contribution margin from
    Svitavy). More than EUR 10 million of restructuring costs is expected over
    the next two years, potentially resulting in annualized synergy effects of
    up to EUR 4 million. MWV Folding Carton's sales and EBITDA have been
    decreasing over the past few years but is expected to stabilize and
    increase.
  * AR Packaging has estimated maintenance capex and the net working capital
    profile of the acquired business to be in line with that of AR Packaging.
  * A major part of the sales derived from one tobacco customer, thereby
    increasing customer concentration and further strengthening AR Packaging's
    position in tobacco packaging market.
  * In relative measures, the company does not increase its Russian exposure.
