Smurfit Kappa Group plc ("SKG" or "the Company") announces that all resolutions put to the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Company held on 3 May 2013 were passed.

SKG confirms that the following resolutions (Resolutions 8, 9, 10 and 11 in the Notice of AGM), which constitute special business, were passed:

-- Renewal of the dis-application of statutory pre-emption rights in respect of the allotment of shares for cash up to an aggregate nominal value equal to 5% of SKG's total issued ordinary share capital;

-- Renewal of the authority to make market purchases of the Company's own shares up to a maximum of 10% of the number of SKG's total issued ordinary shares;

-- Renewal of the authority to convene an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of SKG on not less than 14 clear days' notice, where the purpose of the meeting is to consider an ordinary resolution; and

-- Amendment to the Articles of Association so as to make the Articles of Association consistent with recent changes in Irish company law and corporate governance practice and to make certain deletions to reflect the fact that private equity investors, MDP and Smurfit Kappa Feeder, no longer hold the right to nominate directors to the Board.

The Company also advises that copies of the above resolutions have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at: www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
