Regulatory Report on Payments to Governments in respect of Logging Industries for the Year 2023

This report of payments to governments is made by Mondi plc and its subsidiary undertakings ('Mondi') for the year ended 31 December 2023 as required by
companies in the extractive and logging industries of their payments to governments in countries in which they operate.
The report is prepared in compliance with the UK's Report on Payments to Governments Regulations 2014 (as amended in December 2015) (the 'Regulation')
and in accordance with DTR 4.3A of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the UK Financial Conduct Authority.
To read details of Mondi's payments to governments go to www.mondigroup.com/investors/corporate-governance/regulatory-reports/


Basis of preparation

The application of the Regulation for Mondi relates to logging activities and specifically to the disclosure of payments to governments relating to the logging of
primary forests.
We have used the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations definition of 'primary forest' being:

'Naturally regenerated forest of native tree species, where there are no clearly visible indications of human activities and the ecological processes are not
significantly disturbed'.

Also, for the purposes of this report, the original 'IFL 2000' (Greenpeace, World Resources Institute (WRI) and Transparent World) inventory of intact forests
has been used as the base for reporting on the harvesting of primary forests in the Komi Republic, Russia ('Komi').

Only a portion of the Syktyvkar logging operations in Komi fall within the above definition of primary forests. Mondi is required to report for the period during
2023 until the sale of Syktyvkar was completed on 4 October. Our operations in South Africa comprise plantation forests that are not associated with any primary
forests and therefore are excluded from the report.

Exchange rate

Payments made in currencies other than the euro (Mondi Group's reporting currency) are translated for this report using the average exchange rate during the
financial year to which it relates.
