NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE U.S.A. OR OVER U.S. WIRE SERVICES

CORRECTION - In the news release “KP Tissue Declares a Quarterly Dividend of $0.18 per Common Share” issued August 8, 2019, the Record Date was wrongly stated. It should have been September 30, 2019, instead of September 27, 2019. The complete, corrected release follows:

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Aug. 08, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KP Tissue Inc. (“KPT”) (TSX: KPT) announced today that the Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.18 per common share, payable on October 15, 2019 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 30, 2019, subject to applicable law.

The dividends paid are designated as "eligible" dividends for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any similar provincial and territorial legislation.

The dividend is being declared in connection with the declaration of a corresponding quarterly distribution by Kruger Products L.P. (“KPLP”) in which KP Tissue holds a limited partnership interest.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

The Corporation has a Dividend Reinvestment Plan under which eligible shareholders may elect to have their cash dividends reinvested in additional common shares of KPT. Under the Plan, the Corporation will automatically reinvest for participating shareholders the cash dividends of KPT in newly issued Common Shares at a price per Common Share equal to the 5-day weighted average trading price of the Common Shares prior to the dividend payment date. The Plan was recently amended to increase the price per Common Share issued pursuant to the Plan from 97% of the 5-day weighted average trading price of the Common Shares prior to the dividend payment date to 100% of the 5-day weighted average trading price of the Common Shares prior to the dividend payment date. The amendment is subject to approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Only Canadian shareholders are eligible to participate in the DRIP and the DRIP is subject to additional limitations and restrictions. Interested shareholders are encouraged to review the full text of the DRIP, available on KPT’s website at .

Shareholders who wish to participate in the DRIP should contact their broker, financial institution, or other nominee through which their Common Shares are held to determine their eligibility and provide appropriate enrolment instructions, and to ensure any deadlines or other requirements that such broker, financial institution, or nominee may impose or be subject to are met.
