Statement re Nicanor Restrepo

SKG.I SKG.L

Dublin, London | 18 March 2015: It is with great sadness that Smurfit Kappa Group plc announces the death, after a short illness, of Nicanor Restrepo, a non-executive Director of the Group. Mr Restrepo joined the Board on its initial public offering in March 2007 and has been the Senior Independent Director since December 2008.

Liam O'Mahony, Chairman commented:

"SKG has benefited immensely from the extensive business experience gained by Nicanor during a distinguished career in industry, politics and academia. He brought an insightful knowledge of the Latin American region and especially of his homeland Colombia where he was held in such high regard. His warmth and friendliness will be sadly missed by his colleagues."
