In connection with the start-up last week of containerboard production at Norske
Skog Bruck, we invite press, investors and other interested parties to the
official opening ceremony of our new containerboard machine at the Bruck
industrial site on 22 June.

Norske Skog Bruck started its containerboard production last week, introducing
210 000 tonnes of competitive testliner and fluting capacity to meet the growing
demand for renewable packaging. The production is based 100% on recycled fibre
and will use steam from the new waste-to-energy plant, which opened in April
2022.

Norske Skog Bruck will start to deliver containerboard to customers in the
second quarter. Full production utilisation of 95% is expected in the second
half of 2025.

"We are excited to enter a new market. This represents a new era for Norske Skog
and is a major step to become a leading independent European producer of
high-quality, renewable, and environmentally produced containerboard. The new
products illustrate the inherent potential of our industrial sites and will
strengthen Norske Skog's asset base and cash flow generation for decades ahead,"
says Norske Skog's CEO Sven Ombudstvedt.
