FiberMark Reports Court Rules in Favor of Unsealing Examiner’s Report,

but Allows Opposing Parties to Seek Stay Pending Appeal

BRATTLEBORO, VERMONT, August 17, 2005—FiberMark, Inc. (OTCBB: FMKIQ) today announced that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Vermont has determined that the report of the independent examiner appointed in the company’s chapter 11 case should be unsealed, subject to certain minimal redactions. The report details the examiner’s findings with respect to certain issues involving the official creditors committee, which has since been disbanded by the United States Trustee. The Court, however, concurrently established a schedule by which certain parties who oppose the unsealing may seek a stay of the unsealing order pending appeal. Under that schedule, the redacted report will be unsealed on August 19, 2005 if no motion for a stay is filed. Alternatively, if a motion for a stay is filed, the Court will rule on the motion by August 24, 2005, and if the Court denies the motion, the redacted report will be immediately unsealed. If, on the other hand, the Court grants the motion, a temporary stay will be in place until August 29, 2005, to allow the opposing parties to seek relief on appeal. If no such relief is obtained, the redacted report will be unsealed on August 29, 2005.
