Update to the timetable of the Re-domiciliation

Polymetal International plc (the “Company”) announces an update to the timetable of the Re-domiciliation and confirms that the Effective Date will be 7 August 2023.

Further to the announcements made by the Company on 29 June 2023 and 10 July 2023, the Company is pleased to report that, following positive engagement with the relevant regulatory authorities and receipt of conditional consents, where required, the Effective Date is scheduled for 7 August 2023.

As set out in the circular published by the Company on 10 May 2023 (the “Re-domiciliation Circular”), as a result of the Re-domiciliation, the Ordinary Shares will cease to be compatible with electronic settlement within CREST and consequently will result in the inability of the Company to meet certain basic requirements to maintain the London Listing. Therefore, trading in the Ordinary Shares on the London Stock Exchange will need to be suspended. Thereafter, the London Listing will remain suspended until the date of the London De-listing.

The revised timetable for the Re-domiciliation is as follows:

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s Ordinary Shares will not be able to be traded on the London Stock Exchange after 1 August 2023.

Subject to the approval by Shareholders at the General Meeting to be held at 10 a.m. on 28 July 2023 at the offices of etc.venues, 8 Fenchurch Pl, London EC3M 4PB to consider and, if thought fit, pass the special resolution to approve the London De-listing, the timetable for the London De-listing remains unchanged, such that:

References to times in this announcement are to British Summer Time, unless otherwise stated

The above times and/or dates are subject to change by the Company and in the event of any such change, the revised times and/or dates will be notified to Shareholders by an announcement through a Regulatory Information Service.

Unless otherwise defined herein, defined terms have the same meaning as set out in Re-domiciliation Circular.
