knowledge and belief (having taken all reasonable care to ensure
that such is the case), the information contained in this
announcement for which they take responsibility is in accordance
with the facts and does not omit anything likely to affect the
import of such information.
The distribution of this announcement in, into, or from, certain
jurisdictions other than Ireland and the United Kingdom may be
restricted or affected by the laws of those jurisdictions.
Accordingly, copies of this announcement are not being, and must
not be, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent in,

Ireland or the United Kingdom will need to inform themselves about,

of any such jurisdiction.
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Irish Takeover Rules, if
any person is, or becomes, "interested" (directly or indirectly) in
1% or more of any class of "relevant securities" of Smurfit Kappa
or International Paper Company ("International Paper"), all
"dealings" in any "relevant securities" of Smurfit Kappa or
International Paper (including by means of an option in respect of,
or a derivative referenced to, any such "relevant securities") must
be publicly disclosed by not later than 3.30 pm (Irish time) in
respect of the relevant securities of Smurfit Kappa and 3.30pm (New
York time) in respect of the relevant securities of International
Paper on the "business day" following the date of the relevant
transaction. This requirement will continue until the date on which
the "offer period" ends. If two or more persons co-operate on the
basis of any agreement, either express or tacit, either oral or
written, to acquire an "interest" in "relevant securities" of
Smurfit Kappa, they will be deemed to be a single person for the
purpose of Rule 8.3 of the Irish Takeover Rules.

"relevant securities" "dealings" should be disclosed can be found
on the Irish Takeover Panel's website at
www.irishtakeoverpanel.ie.
"Interests in securities" arise, in summary, when a person has
long economic exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes
in the price of securities. In particular, a person will be treated
as having an "interest" by virtue of the ownership or control of
securities, or by virtue of any option in respect of, or derivative
referenced to, securities.
Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Irish Takeover
Rules, which can be found on the Irish Takeover Panel's
website.

disclose a "dealing" under Rule 8, please consult the Irish
Takeover Panel's website at www.irishtakeoverpanel.ie or contact
