Dividend
Proposed final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2011 of EUR17.75cps will be paid on 10 May 2012 to all Mondi Ltd. and Mondi plc ordinary shareholders on the relevant registers on 13 April 2012. The final dividend is subject to the approval of the shareholders of Mondi Ltd. and Mondi plc at the respective annual general meetings scheduled for 3 May 2012.
Outlook
Looking ahead, while macroeconomic risks remain, it is encouraging to note that in recent weeks order books have improved and prices have stabilised, with price increases announced in certain grades. This should allow some recovery of price declines experienced over the course of the second half of 2011, although recent strengthening of emerging market currencies is impacting margins. Supply side fundamentals in our core grades remain good following further announcements of capacity closures in the industry. Mondi's integrated low- cost operations, emerging markets exposure and unrelenting focus on sustainable performance ensure that the Group remains well positioned to continue generating strong cash flow through the cycle and adding value for shareholders over the longer term.
