Thankyou for the link. I had not tried to google it, however:
I find the link you refer to, 7m shares, undisclosed seller.
https://www.bloomberg.com/press-releases/2020-05-11/polymetal-holder-to-sell-7m-shares-in-company
I also find a Reuters UK article dated 18th Sept, which says 4% shares / 19 million sold. Sold by the largest shareholder ICT. (Alxander Nesis).
It also says (paraphrasing for copyright LOL) that ICT are still the largest shareholder at 24% and only sold due to debt obligations, and Polymetal is still a great investment. (but they would say that).

This is causing me a bit of a headache as over 50% of portfolio is POLY. I was sat on nice profit before Friday. Trying to work out how much more flooded the market will be, whether I need to sell on Monday and buy back. I now think that it was 19m shares sold, and possibly, the press release to Bloomberg was only part of the sale?. Anyhow, pasting all of the after hours sales in to Excel, and summing the total - as I believe they are all buys - adds up to 12m shares. I am hoping the other 7 got bought during the day on Friday. I therefore hope that this was a once in a blue moon event, and there cant be many more shares left from the sale. Hope the price should start to go north. Obviously some of the buys at under Β£18 could get sold as we start to rise, but my worry was re-visiting Β£15 odd and wiping out my profit. I think this is unlikely now as long as the selling stops. I guess were not going to see above Β£19 soon, but id settle for above Β£18 toward the end of the week.
