Mondi plc will pay its dividend in euro.

Shareholders holding their shares on the South African branch register will receive the final dividend in South African rand cents, converted on Thursday 22 February 2024 at a rate of EUR 1 to ZAR 20.50179. Therefore, the equivalent gross final dividend in rand cents per ordinary share will be 956.81854.

As such, for South African tax resident shareholders holding their shares on the South African branch register, dividends withholding tax will be withheld from the dividends payable to these shareholders at a rate of 20%, unless a shareholder qualifies for an exemption, resulting in a net final dividend of 765.45483 rand cents per ordinary share. Shareholders holding their shares on the South African branch register who are not tax resident in South Africa are exempted from South African dividends withholdings tax.
For the purposes of South Africa dividends tax reporting, the source of income for the payment of the dividend is the United Kingdom.
