| Item 4. | Ownership | |
| (a) | Amount beneficially owned:
As previously reported on Amendment No. 2 to this Schedule 13G, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, Ardagh Group S.A. ("AGSA") indirectly owns 454,375,314 ordinary shares of Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A., which at that time were held directly by AGSA's wholly-owned direct subsidiary Ardagh Investments Holdings Sarl. ARD Holdings S.A., indirectly through its subsidiaries, previously controlled AGSA and may have been deemed to be the ultimate beneficial owner of the ordinary shares indirectly held by AGSA. Paul Coulson controlled ARD Holdings S.A. AGSA, ARD Holdings S.A. and Paul Coulson are all "Reporting Persons" for purposes of this Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13G.
The recapitalization transactions effected by AGSA and its affiliates (the "Transactions") are described in more detail in that certain Transaction Support Agreement, dated July 28, 2025 (the "TSA"), by and among AGSA, certain affiliated entities of AGSA, certain holders of indebtedness of such affiliated entities, Ardagh Holdings S.A., Paul Coulson, and an exchange agent, and in related announcements made by AGSA and certain of its affiliates. The purpose of the Transactions was to effect a comprehensive recapitalization of AGSA and certain of its affiliates. Among other matters, the Transactions involved the transfer of all the issued and outstanding shares of Ardagh Holdings S.A. previously held by affiliates of AGSA, ARD Holdings S.A. and Paul Coulson to the holders of certain indebtedness of AGSA and its affiliates, and the subsequent transfer of all the issued shares of AGSA to Ardagh Holdings S.A. for no consideration as a result of a Luxembourg share pledge appropriation instructed by certain holders of the indebtedness of AGSA and certain of its affiliates. As a result of the Transactions, Ardagh Holdings S.A. became the direct holder of 100% of the equity interests of AGSA and each of ARD Holdings S.A. and Paul Coulson can no longer be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owners of more than 5% of the voting securities of Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A. for purposes of Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are each no longer a Reporting Person on this Schedule 13G. ARD Holdings S.A. and Paul Coulson will cease to file amendments to the Schedule 13G as of the date hereof.
