VP communication Tom Bratlie leaves Norske Skog

Tom Bratlie, vice president in charge of corporate communications, has decided
to leave Norske Skog. He takes on a similar position with the Norway-based oil
and gas company DNO International.


- Tom Bratlie has done a very good job as head of communications and company
spokesperson during a challenging period for Norske Skog. I regret his decision
to leave but wish him all the best in his new position, says CEO Sven
Ombudstvedt.


Bratlie leaves Norske Skog in June. The process to find a new head of
communications has begun.


Bratlie joined Norske Skog in 2004 and has been head of corporate communications
since 2006.
