Strengthening Our Film Sales Business in the UK

Premier Paper Group Limited (headquartered in Birmingham, U.K.; hereinafter "PPG"), a consolidated subsidiary of Japan Paper & Pulp Company Limited, has acquired 100% of the shares of Zulu Packaging Limited (hereinafter "Zulu").

PPG is a leading regional paper wholesaler operating under the "Premier" brand with inventory locations throughout the U.K. and is also expanding its sales of packaging materials and graphic boards used for signage.
