Registration Statement on Form F-4

Dear Sirs,

1.	Description of mandate
1.1	Schönherr Rechtsanwälte GmbH (“Schönherr”) has been acting as Austrian counsel to the Addressees in connection with the Transaction Documents (as defined below).
	Schönherr has been retained to issue this legal opinion (the “Opinion”) in our capacity as Austrian legal advisor to the Addressees as to the “capacity” of SIG Austria Holding GmbH, SIG Combibloc GmbH and SIG Combibloc GmbH & Co KG (the “Austrian Companies”) to enter into the Transaction Documents (as defined below).
1.2	We have not been retained to carry out a due diligence with respect to the Austrian Companies.
2.	Opinion limited to Austrian law as of the time of effectiveness
2.1	This Opinion is solely based on the laws and regulations officially issued by any Austrian federal legislative authority, as applied and officially published by the Austrian courts and administrative authorities as of the time of effectiveness, all of which are collectively referred to herein as “Austrian law”. We neither express nor imply any opinion on any laws other than Austrian law and we have made no investigation of any other laws which may be relevant to the Transaction Documents (as hereinafter defined), even if, under Austrian law, such laws would have to be applied.
2.2	We assume no obligation to update the opinions expressed herein if laws, facts or circumstances change after the date hereof.
3.	Interpretation and construction
3.1	In this Opinion Austrian legal concepts are expressed in English terms and not in the original Austrian legal terms. The concepts concerned may not be identical to the concepts described by the same English term, as they exist under the laws of another jurisdiction. This Opinion may thus only be relied upon under the express conditions that (i) any issues of interpretation or liability arising hereunder will be governed by Austrian law and (ii) the courts competent for the first district of Vienna are to have exclusive jurisdiction in respect of all disputes which may arise out of or in connection with this Opinion.
3.2	The following terms shall have the following meanings:
	“Opinion Documents” means the documents specified in Schedule 4;
	“Transaction Documents” means the documents specified in Part 1 of Schedule 4.

- 3 -

3.3	German language terms appended to an English language term in parentheses shall control for purposes of interpretation hereof.
4.	Documents examined and searches
4.1	For purposes of this Opinion, we have examined the following documents:

(i)	the Transaction Documents; and
(ii)	the documents specified in Part 2 of Schedule 4.

4.2 For purposes of this Opinion, we carried out on-line searches at:

(i)	the Austrian companies register (Firmenbuch); and
(ii)	the insolvency database (Ediktsdatei)

in respect of the Austrian Companies on the dates of execution of the Transaction Documents and today.

4.3 Except as set forth in 4.1 and 4.2 above:

(i)	we have not examined any agreements, deeds, instruments or documents entered into by the Austrian Companies or any other party to the Transaction Documents or affecting any of their assets or any corporate records of the Austrian Companies or any other party to the Transaction Documents;
(ii)	we have not made any enquiries (including without limitation any review, search or investigation of any public files, records or other court or official records or registries) concerning the Austrian Companies or any other party to the Transaction Documents or any of their assets; and
(iii)	except as provided in 7.2 hereof, we have not investigated whether any of the Austrian Companies or any other party to the Transaction Documents is or will be, by reason of the transactions and matters contemplated by the Transaction Documents, in breach of any of their obligations under any other agreement, document, deed or instrument.

5.	No opinion of fact
	Unless otherwise provided herein, we express no opinion as to matters of fact.
6.	Assumptions
	In considering the Transaction Documents and in giving this Opinion, we have, without independent investigation, made the assumptions set out in Schedule 6 hereto.
7.	Opinions
	Based upon the foregoing, subject to any matters not disclosed to us and subject to the qualifications set out below, we are of the opinion that at the date hereof:
