Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Bemis Company, Inc. ('Bemis') held a special meeting of shareholders on May 2, 2019. As of the close of business on the record date for the special meeting, which was March 20, 2019, there were 91,211,989 shares of Bemis' common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, with each share entitled to one vote. Shareholders owning a total of 72,245,140 shares of Bemis' common stock voted at the special meeting, representing approximately 79.20% of the total number of outstanding shares. The following matters were voted upon by the shareholders:

Proposal 1. The proposal to approve the Transaction Agreement, dated as of August 6, 2018, (which, as it may be amended from time to time, we refer to as the 'Transaction Agreement'), by and among Amcor Limited, Amcor plc (f/k/a Arctic Jersey Limited) ('New Amcor'), Arctic Corp. ('Merger Sub') and Bemis, pursuant to which, among other transactions, Merger Sub shall merge with and into Bemis (which is referred to as the 'merger'), with Bemis surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Amcor.

Proposal 2. The proposal to approve, in a non-binding advisory vote, certain compensation that may be paid or become payable to Bemis' named executive officers in connection with the transaction.

Proposal 3. The proposal to approve, in a non-binding advisory vote, a provision of the New Amcor Articles of Association setting forth the requirements for shareholder nominations and other proposals to be considered at an annual general meeting of New Amcor or an extraordinary general meeting of New Amcor.

Proposal 4. The proposal to approve, in a non-binding advisory vote, a provision of the New Amcor Articles of Association to the effect that directors may be removed from office by ordinary resolution of the New Amcor shareholders only for cause.

Proposal 5. The proposal to approve, in a non-binding advisory vote, a provision of the New Amcor Articles of Association establishing that the holders of shares of New Amcor representing at least a majority of the total voting rights of all shareholders entitled to vote at a general meeting will be quorum for all purposes.

Proposal 6. The proposal to approve one or more adjournments of the special meeting to a later date or dates for any purpose, including if necessary or appropriate to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to approve the Transaction Agreement at the time of the special meeting.

2

Although Proposal 6 was approved, adjournment of the special meeting was not necessary or appropriate because the Bemis' shareholders approved the Transaction Agreement and was therefore not implemented.

Each proposal is described in detail in the definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC') on March 27, 2019, as amended and supplemented prior to the special meeting. The merger contemplated by the Transaction Agreement is expected to close in the next several weeks, subject to customary closing conditions.
