-POLY the largest gold miner on LSE
Polymetal International PLC on Monday said six board members, including its chair, have departed en masse, as the London-listed Russian gold miner grips with the fallout from the invasion of Ukraine.
Elsewhere, compatriot steel maker Evraz PLC said another board member has stepped down, while energy EN+ Group IPJSC said a UK Conservative Party politician has resigned as its chair.
At Polymetal, Chair Ian ****erill is among the six board members to step down.
Ollie Oliveira, Tracey Kerr, Italia Boninelli, Victor Flores and Andrea Abt, all non-executive directors, also have left effective immediately. Oliveira is Polymetal's senior independent director.
The exodus means Polymetal's only remaining directors are Independent Non-Executive Director Giacomo Baizini, Non-Independent Non-Executive Director Konstantin Yanakov, and Chief Executive Vitaly Nesis, an executive director.
