Change in BillerudKorsnäs Senior Management Team

Karin Hågfeldt leaves BillerudKorsnäs at her own request after 5 years as Senior
Vice President Corporate Human Resources and member of the Senior Management
Team.
- During Karin's time with BillerudKorsnäs we as a company have undergone major
changes. We have created a completely new company through the integration of
Billerud and Korsnäs. Without a professional and strategic HR organisation this
would not have been possible. We therefore thank Karin for her considerable
efforts that has taken us to where we are today and given us the opportunity to
aim for the future. We fully respect Karin's decision although we of course
regret that we no longer will be able to benefit from Karin's commitment to our
continued growth journey, says Per Lindberg.

Ulrika Spåls, currently Vice President Operational Excellence for
BillerudKorsnäs, is appointed Acting Senior Vice President Corporate Human
Resources. A process to recruit Karin Hågfeldts permanent replacement has been
initiated.
