Strategic Locations Mercer's strategic locations in Germany and Western Canada position the company well to serve customers in Europe, North America and Asia In particular, China - the world's biggest pulp importer and fastest growing pulp import market - and Germany - the largest European pulp import market Celgar (B.C., Canada) 520,000 ADMT ^ United States Stendal (Germany) 645,000 ADMT Rosenthal (Germany) 330,000 ADMT ^ ^ Indonesia China Thailand Middle East Europe Japan

Growing Electricity Revenues Mercer has been a leader among paper and forest products companies in embracing the "carbon economy" and in harnessing significant value from its surplus power generation Mercer recognized the opportunity to secure a new revenue stream from its operations, as the market place turned to biomass for its carbon neutral power At the end of September 2010, Celgar's new 48 MW turbine achieved commercial operating status It is expected to add between C$20- C$25 million annually to Mercer's green energy revenue Project was primarily funded using some of Mercer's C$57.7 million Green Transformation Program funding CAGR: 20.5% CAGR: 2.7% CAGR: 5.8% The sale of electricity is a significant and growing part of Mercer's operations

NBSK Supply/Demand Fundamentals are Positive Management believes that generally flat supply, overall growing demand and positive exposure to the effects of climate change create an excellent operating environment for Mercer Global demand for NBSK remains strong, as global production of tissue and specialty papers grows, emerging markets develop, and standards of living improve Chinese production of fine paper and pulp-based tissue are forecast to grow at double-digit rates over the next several years NBSK's strength attributes are needed given the trend by tissue and paper producers towards faster production rates, increased recycled content, and lower basis weights Global supply of softwood pulp is expected to remain relatively flat New mills are overwhelmingly hardwood pulp and management believes any increases in softwood supply should be more than offset by capacity closures Mercer benefits from favourable green energy rates and related government incentives Climate change is making the cost curve of pulp and paper steeper, significantly disadvantaging inefficient and environmentally unsound operations and benefitting world class operations, such as Mercer's

Favourable NBSK Pricing and Global Supply Environment NBSK prices improved dramatically in 2010 and management believes the market fundamentals will remain tight overall, even after recent restarts Source: RISI, PPPC

The Widening Price Gap Between BSK and BHK Source: RISI We believe the substitution of hardwood for softwood is becoming increasingly limited with the passage of time

Overview of Operations

Operating EBITDA margins improved in 2010 given strong pulp pricing, but margins have compressed in 2011 given a weakening US dollar Improving Financial Performance

The downturn in the US housing market and other factors have decreased the level of lumber production and overall forest harvesting activity in all regions where we operate While Celgar's fiber costs have been stable at satisfactory levels, we are expecting some modest upward pressure as sawmills in BC are expected to take maintenance and market related downtime during the summer Fiber costs in Germany have stabilized at elevated levels and are expected to remain at these levels for the short to medium term Fiber Costs are Stable

Mercer has a well-diversified and stable sales mix Sizeable leverage to European markets in particular Germany - Europe's largest NBSK market Significant exposure to China - the world's largest importer of pulp and the fastest growing pulp market Growing exposure to tissue / hygiene end uses which have a higher growth rate for NBSK than printing and writing papers Segmented Sales 2010 Mercer Sales by End-Use 2010 Mercer Sales by Geography Europe, 60%

Investment Highlights

Share Repurchase Program Mercer has authorized a share repurchase program for up to $25 million of the Company's outstanding stock over the next 12 months The program calls for an equivalent reduction in long-term indebtedness over the same period Delevering Strategy: All revolvers are paid to zero Stendal delevers automatically - amortizing loan with cash sweep Converts are now equity Senior Notes ($300 million), 2017 maturity Cash on hand June 30, 2011: €151.8 million (US$220 million)

Key Investment Highlights Operates world-class, large, modern mills that produce high-quality NBSK pulp which is a premium grade of kraft pulp Strategically located mills, with excellent fiber baskets, in close proximity to key global markets Strong, long-term forecast supply/demand outlook for NBSK Significant and growing revenue from sale of excess renewable, carbon-neutral electricity Financial structure offers very high leverage to the pulp cycle Experienced, shareholder-focused management team and board of directors Improved liquidity performance

Dissolving Pulp Opportunity Mercer is not committing to a dissolving pulp project at this time, but will continue monitoring the dissolving pulp (DP) market and the related technological developments Mercer has completed feasibility and engineering studies that envisioned converting Celgar and Stendal to be swing mills, capable of alternating production between DP and NBSK Concluded that both opportunities are potentially highly accretive for Mercer The numerous recent DP capacity increases and conversion announcements create potential risk of over-capacity in the short-term We expect technological advancements with respect to the manufacture of DP and the use of paper grade pulp as a substitute for DP These advancements have the potential to make these projects even more accretive The timing of Mercer's entry into the dissolving pulp market is critical to the success and profitability of the Stendal and Celgar DP projects

Financial Review

Corporate Structure and Long Term Debt Rosenthal (Germany) Celgar (British Columbia) Stendal (Germany) 74.9% As at June 30, 2011 US$300 million senior unsecured notes due December 2017 US$36.2 million convertible notes due January 2012 (1) US$4.6 million Rosenthal equipment loan €486 million term loan due September 2017 Principal amount of the loan is 80% guaranteed by the German government Interest rate of 5.28% until maturity Restricted Group 100% 100% The debt at Stendal is non-recourse to Mercer and its other operations Strike price of US$3.30, fully converted into common shares as of July 15, 2011

Selected Historical Financial Data - Consolidated (€ 000s unless otherwise indicated) * Reflects Rosenthal's turbine shut of approximately 60 days for maintenance. Celgar's Green Energy Project became operational Sept. 28, 2010 ** Includes gains (losses) on Stendal's interest rate swaps and foreign exchange gains (losses) on Mercer's US denominated intercompany debt, which are non-cash mark-to-market valuation adjustments occurring every quarter.

Balance Sheet

Capital Structure "Restricted Group" structure was used to protect Mercer from the high leverage of the Stendal project The Restricted Group - created at the time of issuing US$310 million Notes - is supported by the Celgar and Rosenthal operations (recently replaced by a US$300 million issue due December 2017) Together, the mills provide approximately 850,000 tonnes of pulp production capacity Now that Celgar's Green Energy Project is online, the Restricted Group is expected to generate approximately US$40 million in annual electricity revenues Since energy production is a by-product of our pulp production, there are minimal incremental costs and our energy sales are highly profitable Mercer's operations have benefitted from the heavy involvement of governments in the form of non-repayable grants for the construction of its mills in Germany Mercer has received €423 million in government grants for the construction of the Rosenthal, Stendal, and Celgar's Green Transformation Projects These grants reduce the cost basis of the assets purchased and are not reported in our income The Stendal debt of €486 million is guaranteed to 80% by the German government and is non-recourse to the rest of Mercer Stendal's debt is amortizing and has a sinking fund account to support debt amortization and interest payments during weaker periods Stendal's balance sheet is complicated by its deeply subordinated shareholder loans and a quarterly mark-to-market, non-cash valuation adjustment relating to its fixed interest rate swaps

Appendix A

Current Industry Environment

NBSK is Needed for Strength Management believes demand for NBSK will remain strong over the long term Reinforcing properties needed by modern production technology make NBSK an essential component in a wide range of paper, tissue and hygiene products Producers have generally substituted as much lower cost hardwood and recycled pulp into their products as possible, so any demand growth in their products should translate directly into demand growth for NBSK Demand for most paper grades in which NBSK is used, such as tissue, is forecasted to continue growing Improving global standards of living in countries such as China, aging populations, and growing interest in health and cleanliness are increasing demand for tissue and hygiene products For example, in China, tissue consumption increased by approximately 2.5 million tonnes between 2000 and 20091, and demand of fine paper and woodpulp based tissue are forecasted to grow at respective average annual rates of 10.4% and 12.7% from 2009 to 2014 2 Supply of NBSK is forecasted to remain flat or decrease The vast majority of the new pulp capacity that is coming online is hardwood There have been significant permanent softwood closures in recent years and global pulp inventories remain at near record lows The long term supply / demand fundamentals for NBSK pulp currently remain strong 1 Tissue PPI Annual Review, Income - McKinsey Institute, TerraChoice MSI; 2 Hawkins Wright - Defining the China Market (December 2010)

Tissue is the Highest Growth Segment Since 2000, global tissue output has grown at an average annual rate of 3.9% As populations age, global standards of living improve, and health and hygiene become larger concerns, demand for tissue - and thus NBSK - should continue to grow Source: TerraChoice Market Services Inc., FAO, PPI Annual Review 2000 - 2009 Average annual growth rate = 3.9%

Growth in Demand Could Accelerate The better off the developing world's populations are financially, the greater their demand for tissue and hygiene products should be Source: TerraChoice Market Services Inc. If living standards improve as forecasted in markets such as China, management believes demand growth for NBSK in these markets should also accelerate China Tissue Production and Consumption

1 PPPC Flash Report - June 2011 Permanently Shut NBSK Capacity Despite recent restarts caused by record high pulp pricing, softwood pulp markets remain tight due to steady demand growth and the permanent closure of high cost capacity. Global softwood inventories at the end of June total 28 days of supply 1 Source: TerraChoice Markets Services Inc., company press releases

Global Supply of BSK Source: TerraChoice Markets Services Inc. Most of the announced new pulp capacity that is coming online is hardwood pulp capacity. Total global softwood pulp capacity is currently expected to remain flat as only one new softwood mill is expected in the next few years

Climate Change Presents Mercer with Opportunities Climate change has emerged as a very significant issue and Mercer is well positioned to benefit from the changes that are expected to result Both Canadian and German governments provide support and incentives for green initiatives and energy production Our German operations receive superior energy rates for selling their generation under the green tariff structure of the German Renewable Energy Act (EEG) In 2009, Celgar was awarded C$57.7 million under the Canadian government's Green Transformation Program Celgar signed a long term energy purchase agreement with the local utility, delivering 238,000 MWh of bioenergy annually to the grid at higher green rates Became operational on Sept. 28th, 2010 Mercer has already garnered significant benefits in the emerging carbon economy and we remain actively engaged with policy makers to maximize these benefits going forward Changes we see coming from climate change include: Full utilization of forests Increased silviculture / thinning Increased cogeneration Technologies for bioproducts and the markets for these bioproducts will develop

Management believes the scale and technical age of our mills will be a significant advantage as the carbon economy and associated legislation develops and matures As the cost of emitting carbon continues to rise, carbon costs should have a large negative impact for producers with high green house gas (GHG) intensity GHG intensity should structurally steepen our industry's cost curve, with high GHG intensity producers moving higher up the cost curve Climate Change Presents Mercer with Opportunities Source: CIBC World Markets - Carbon and The Forest Sector (December 2008) * Canadian Average according to FPAC ** Now known as Fibrek Mercer has positive exposure to the impacts of the carbon economy Management believes its low conversion costs, small carbon footprint, and growing production of bio-products will allow Mercer investors to derive tangible economic benefits from climate change over the long term
