The expected completion is mid-April but is dependent on Mondi achieving minimum acceptances of 14% of Mondi Swiecie shares (to bring the Mondi Group's total interest in the company to not less than 80%).
The plan would then be to de-list Mondi Swiecie from the Warsaw Stock Exchange, with the absorbed company adding 9.4% to Mondi Group's underlying earnings.
Mondi's stock was down 1.7% by 9.27am.
