Press Release 13 April 2018

 

Polyus Finance PLC

 

Polyus announces the conclusion of its previously announced invitation to holders of its U.S.$250 million 1 per cent. guaranteed convertible bonds due 2021 (ISIN: XS1759275578) (the "Bonds") to tender up to U.S.$50 million (or 20% of the issue) in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds for purchase. J.P. Morgan Securities plc acted as Dealer Manager in respect of the Offer.

The Final Buyback Price is 86.7% (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Bonds). No Bonds tendered for purchase at a purchase price above the Final Buyback Price will be accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer.

Eligible Holders who have submitted valid Tender Instructions and whose Bonds are accepted for purchase (the "Tendered Bonds") in the Offer will receive on the Settlement Date a cash consideration equal to the Final Buyback Price.

The Company has decided to accept Bonds submitted pursuant to valid Tender Instructions which specified a purchase price equal to or below the Final Buyback Price in an aggregate nominal amount of U.S.$50 million (the "Acceptance Amount") , with pro rata scaling being applied on the terms set out below.

Bonds submitted pursuant to valid Tender Instructions which specified a purchase price below the Final Buyback Price will be accepted in full without any pro rata scaling.

Bonds submitted pursuant to valid Tender Instructions which specified a purchase price equal to the Final Buyback Price will be scaled by a factor equal to (i) the Acceptance Amount, less the aggregate nominal amount of the Bonds that have been validly tendered and accepted for purchase and are not subject to acceptance on a pro rata basis (if any), divided by (ii) the aggregate nominal amount of the Bonds that have been tendered for purchase and are subject to acceptance on a pro rata basis.

In addition to the Final Buyback Price, the Company will pay accrued but unpaid interest on the Bonds purchased in the Offer up to (but excluding) the settlement date (being the date on which the Company pays the Final Buyback Price for Bonds accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer), which is expected to be 18 April 2018 (the "Settlement Date").

Debevoise & Plimpton LLP is acting as legal counsel to the Company as to English and Russian law matters in connection with the Offer. Linklaters LLP advised the Dealer Manager as to English and Russian law.
