(the "Company")
Preference Shares dividend
Further to the Company's announcement on 30 March 2022, the economic uncertainty surrounding its business in Russia caused by current sanctions and counter sanctions continues to severely limit the Company's ability to access funds from its Russian subsidiaries and to convert roubles into alternative currencies. The Company confirmed that payment of the preference share dividend for the period from 31 December 2021 up to, but excluding, 31 March 2022 ("March 2022 Preference Dividend") would not be made and accumulate in accordance with the terms of the instrument. The record date for such dividend was 18 February 2022 and in the event the Company is in a position to pay the March 2022 Preference Dividend (and any interest accrued thereon in accordance with the Company's articles of incorporation) it will be paid to the preference shareholders of the Company on the register on such record date.
In respect of future quarterly instalments of the preference share dividend, in light of the continued uncertainty, the Company does not currently anticipate paying any such future instalments of preference dividends. It will continue to monitor the situation and should the position change it will notify preference shareholders and where it expects to pay such preference dividends it will set out the record date for such dividend in any such notification. However, should the Company determine that it is in a position to resume paying preference dividends it will first pay the preference dividends which have been outstanding the longest (including any interest accrued thereon) starting with the March 2022 Preference Dividend.
