• Two-for-one share split
• Share capital increased to EUR 96 million 
 

The 13th Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of Mayr-Melnhof Karton AG held on April 25, 2007, resolved to increase the share capital of the Company from EUR 87.24 million to EUR 96.00 million via conversion of a respective amount of appropriate additional paid-in capital without issuing new shares, and to carry out a two-for-one share split. This will double the number of shares from 12 million to 24 million no-par bearer shares. By the share split, shareholders will receive one additional no-par share for each share held.

The corresponding amendment to the articles of association was entered into the company register at the District Court in on June 15, 2007.

Shareholders whose shares are held on deposit at a bank will automatically receive a credit for the additional shares. The share split will take place free of charge.

Shareholders who hold physical securities certificates will receive an additional share for each no-par share held, and will be asked to submit dividend coupon No. 12 from July 16, 2007, to the Payment and Submissions Counter, Bank Austria Creditanstalt AG, and its branches, during normal business hours. The issue will take place free of charge. The additional shares will be confirmed in a global certificate. Printing of securities certificates is not envisaged. Where physical securities certificates are required for delivery to shareholders, these will be made available where possible from the old stock of share certificates.

Conversion on the Vienna Stock Exchange will take place on July 16, 2007.
