According to official information, in December 2021, the Board of Directors of the mining and metallurgical company Evraz approved the allocation of the coal producer PJSC Raspadskaya. However, in March 2022, it was reported that the process of separating PJSC Raspadskaya was stopped due to sanctions and changed economic conditions.
At that time, Evraz expected "explanations regarding regulatory restrictions from both the Office for the Implementation of Financial Sanctions of the UK Treasury after the issuance of a notice of financial sanctions on March 10, 2022 (sanctions against Evraz's largest shareholder Roman Abramovich) and from the Russian authorities regarding the rights of shareholders to dispose of shares received as part of the allocation," the company said in a statement.
After that, neither Evraz nor Raspadskaya openly returned to the issue of separation. However, in February 2023, the city hall of Mezhdurechensk unexpectedly reported, literally: "This year there was a procedure for the separation of the "Raspadskaya Coal Company" into a separate company".
Meanwhile, on February 14, 2022, it was reported that from this date "the coal company will again trade with a good Free-float, and EVRAZ will stop consolidating the results of its work in its reports".
At that time, the Raspadskaya press service denied the allocation, although information about it was published on the company's official website.
On November 24, 2023, answering the question about the receipt of a comprehensive environmental permit by Raspadskaya PJSC enterprises, the EVRAZ press centre reported that "among the listed enterprises, only the Kazskaya mine is related to EVRAZ. This also indicates the division of companies.
The Raspadskaya Recruitment Centre confirmed by phone that "now we have nothing to do with EVRAZ". Olga Shcherbakova, an employee of the press service of the RUK, in a telephone conversation, initially agreed to devote time to the journalist Actual!, but after listening to the question, she suddenly hurried - "I'm already called" - and disconnected out.
The editorial office sent official requests to the press centres of EVRAZ and Raspadskaya with a request to clarify when and under what conditions the division of companies took place.
