Sappi Papier Holding GmbH
450,000,000 31/8% Senior Notes due 2026
Interest payable April 15 and October 15
Issue price: 100%
Sappi Papier Holding GmbH (the "Issuer"), an Austrian limited liability company, is offering 450,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of its 31/8% Senior Notes due 2026 (the "Notes").
The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning October 15,
2019. The Notes will mature on April 15, 2026. Some or all of the Notes may be redeemed prior to April 15, 2022 by paying
100% of the principal amount of such Notes plus a make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to the
redemption date. Some or all of the Notes may be redeemed at any time on or after April 15, 2022 at the redemption prices set
forth in this offering memorandum ("Offering Memorandum") plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to the redemption date.
In addition, at any time prior to April 15, 2022, up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes may be redeemed
with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at 103.125% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest
(if any) to the redemption date, if at least 60% of the principal amount of the Notes (including additional Notes) remains
outstanding.
All of the Notes may also be redeemed at a redemption price of 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes
plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to, but not including, the redemption date and al Additional Amounts (as defined
herein) (if any), if at any time the Issuer or any Guarantor (as defined herein) becomes obligated to pay Additional Amounts as
a result of certain changes in law affecting taxation.
Upon the occurrence of certain events constituting a change of control (as defined herein), each holder of Notes may
require the Issuer to repurchase all or a portion of its Notes at 101% of outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid
interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase.
The Notes and the Guarantees (as defined herein) will be the Issuer's and the Guarantors' (as defined herein) senior
obligations. The Notes and the Guarantees will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Issuer's and the Guarantors'
existing and future senior debt, and senior to any of the Issuer's and the Guarantors' future subordinated debt. Sappi Limited,
the parent company of the Issuer, and certain of the Issuer's subsidiaries (together with Sappi Limited, the "Guarantors") will
jointly and severally guarantee the Notes on a senior basis (the "Guarantees"). The Guarantees will be subject to contractual
and legal limitations, and may be released under certain circumstances.
We have applied to list the Notes on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") for trading on
the Euro MTF Market.
Investing in the Notes involves risks, including risks that are described in the "Risk Factors" section beginning
on page 18 of this Offering Memorandum. This offering memorandum constitutes a prospectus for purposes of
Part IV of the Luxembourg law on prospectus securities dated July 10, 2005, as amended.
The Notes and the Guarantees have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. Unless they are registered, the Notes and
the Guarantees may be offered only in transactions that are exempt from, or in a transaction not subject to, registration under
the U.S. Securities Act. Accordingly, we are offering the Notes only to qualified institutional buyers ("QIBs") under Rule 144A
("Rule 144A") of the U.S. Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S
("Regulation S") under the U.S. Securities Act. You are hereby notified that the Initial Purchasers of the Notes may be relying
on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. For further details about
eligible offerees and resale restrictions, see "Notice to Investors" and "Transfer Restrictions".
We expect that delivery of the Notes wil be made to investors in book-entry form through Euroclear Bank SA/NV
("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking S.A. ("Clearstream") on or about March 26, 2019. Interests in each global note will be
exchangeable for the relevant definitive Notes only in certain limited circumstances. See "Book-Entry, Delivery and Form".

We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment on the Notes on or about the date
specified on the cover page of this Offering Memorandum, which will be ten business days (as such term is used
for purposes of Rule 15c6-1 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"))
following the date of pricing of the Notes (this settlement cycle is being referred to as "T+10"). Under Rule 15c6-1
of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days unless
the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes on
the date of this Offering Memorandum or the next seven business days will be required to specify an alternative
settlement code at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed set lement. Purchasers of the Notes who wish to
make such trades should consult their own advisors. See "Plan of Distribution".
In making your investment decision, you should rely only on the information contained in this Offering
Memorandum. Neither the Issuer, the Guarantors nor any of the Initial Purchasers have authorized anyone to
provide you with information that is different from the information contained herein. If given, any such information
should not be relied upon. Neither the Issuer, the Guarantors nor any of the Initial Purchasers are making an offer
of the Notes in any jurisdiction where the offering of the Notes is not permitted. You should not assume that the
information contained in this Offering Memorandum is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of
this Offering Memorandum.

ACT OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER STATE OR JURISDICTION AND, SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
EXCEPTIONS, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES. SEE "PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION"

BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME.
PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER OF ANY SECURITY MAY BE
RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT
PURSUANT TO RULE 144A.
No dealer, salesperson or other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any
representation not contained in this Offering Memorandum and, if given or made, any such information or
representation must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Issuer, Sappi Limited, the Subsidiary
Guarantors (as defined herein), any of their respective affiliates or the Initial Purchasers. This Offering
Memorandum does not constitute an offer of any securities other than those to which it relates or an offer to sell,
or a solicitation of an offer to buy, to any person in any jurisdiction where such an offer or solicitation would be
unlawful. Neither the delivery of this Offering Memorandum nor any sale made under it shall, under any
circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in the affairs of the Issuer, Sappi Limited or
the Subsidiary Guarantors since the date of this Offering Memorandum or that the information contained in this
Offering Memorandum is correct as of any time subsequent to that date.
By receiving this Offering Memorandum, investors acknowledge that they have had an opportunity to
request for review, and have received, all additional information they deem necessary to verify the accuracy and
completeness of the information contained in this Offering Memorandum. Investors also acknowledge that they
have not relied on the Initial Purchasers in connection with their investigation of the accuracy of this information or
their decision whether to invest in the Notes. The contents of this Offering Memorandum are not to be considered
as legal, business, financial or tax advice. Prospective investors should consult their own counsel, accountants
and other advisors as to legal, tax, business, financial and related aspects of a purchase of the Notes. The Issuer,
Sappi Limited and the Subsidiary Guarantors have prepared this Offering Memorandum solely for use in
connection with the offer of the Notes. This Offering Memorandum may only be used for the purpose for which it
has been published.
In making an investment decision, investors must rely on their own examination of the Issuer, Sappi Limited,

related entities may acquire a portion of the Notes for their own account.

offeree or any purchaser of the Notes regarding the legality of any investment in the Notes by such offeree or
purchaser under applicable legal investment or similar laws or regulations. For a further description of certain
restrictions on the offering and sale of the Notes and the distribution of this Offering Memorandum, see notices to
investors below and "Transfer Restrictions". By entering into possession of this Offering Memorandum or offering,
selling or purchasing any Note, investors will be deemed to have represented and agreed to all of the provisions
ii

contained in the above referenced sections of this Offering Memorandum. Investors should be aware that they
may be required to bear the financial risks of this investment for an indefinite period of time.

100,000. Notes in denominations of less than 100,000 will not be available.
To purchase the Notes, investors must comply with all applicable laws and regulations in force in any
jurisdiction in which investors purchase, offer or sell the Notes or possess or distribute this Offering Memorandum.
Investors must also obtain any consent, approval or permission required by such jurisdiction for investors to
purchase, offer or sell any of the Notes under the laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction in which
investors are subject or in which investors make such purchase, offer or sale. None of the Issuer, Sappi Limited,
the Subsidiary Guarantors, their respective affiliates or the Initial Purchasers will have the responsibility therefor.
The Notes will constitute "controlled securities" as that term is defined in the South African Exchange
Control Regulations, 1961 (as amended), and as such may not be acquired by any person who is a resident of
South Africa except in accordance with such Regulations and the directives or authorities issued or granted by the
Financial Surveillance Department of the South African Reserve Bank in respect of those Regulations from time
to time.

NOTICE TO INVESTORS IN THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA
MiFID II Product Governance/Professional Investors and ECPs Only Target Market: Solely for the
purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Notes
has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients
only, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the
Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling
or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturers' target market
assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market
assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target market assessment)
and determining appropriate distribution channels.
PRIIPs Regulation/Prohibition of Sales to European Economic Area Retail Investors: The Notes are
not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made
available to, any retail investor in the European Economic Area (the "EEA"). For these purposes, a retail investor
means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (ii) a
customer within the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU (as amended, the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where
that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II.
Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the
"PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the
EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any
retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
This Offering Memorandum has been prepared on the basis that any offer of the Notes in any Member State
of the EEA will be made pursuant to the exemption under the Prospectus Directive from a requirement to publish
a prospectus for offers of Notes. This Offering Memorandum is not a prospectus for the purposes of the
Prospectus Directive (Directive 2003/71/EC) (as amended, the "Prospectus Directive") and any relevant
implementing measure in each member state of the EEA.
NOTICE TO INVESTORS IN AUSTRIA
This Offering Memorandum has not been and will not be approved and/or published pursuant to the Austrian
Capital Markets Act (Kapitalmarktgesetz), as amended ("KMG"), and has not been passported into Austria
pursuant to §8b KMG or the Prospectus Directive. Neither this Offering Memorandum nor any other document
connected therewith constitutes a prospectus according to the KMG and neither this Offering Memorandum nor
any other document connected therewith may be distributed, passed on or disclosed to any person in Austria

consent of the Issuer; and provided that no such offer of the Notes shall require us or the initial purchasers to
publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive and/or §2 KMG. For the purposes of this
provision, the expression a "public offering of Notes" means any communication (whether originating from the
Issuer or a financial intermediary) to the public in any form and by any means, presenting sufficient information on
the terms of the offer and the Notes to be offered (or an invitation to subscribe such Notes), so as to enable an
investor to decide to purchase or subscribe to the Notes.

used for any other purpose nor disclosed to any other person in Belgium.
NOTICE TO INVESTORS IN GERMANY

Any resale of the Notes in Germany may only be made in accordance with the German Securities Prospectus Act
