Dublin, London | 2 December 2013: Smurfit Kappa Group plc ('SKG'
or the 'Group') confirms that officials from the Venezuelan
government have announced a temporary intervention at the Group's
subsidiary Smurfit Kappa Carton de Venezuela ('SKCV'). This is part
of a nationwide programme of inspections and audits at both locally
and internationally owned companies, conducted by a number of
government Ministries and agencies. The intervention allows for
further inspections and audits covering areas such as tax, costs,
pricing and employment practices. SKCV retains management of the
company and is co-operating fully with the government officials.
SKCV is committed to operating its business to ensure the on-going
supply of products and services to its customers.
