Polymetal: Update on the AGM meeting arrangements

Polymetal International plc

Update on the AGM meeting arrangements

On 16 April 2020, the UK Government announced extension of the mandatory measures in relation to social distancing to reduce the transmission of COVID-19. These mandatory measures include requiring people to stay at home, except for very limited purposes and stopping all gatherings of more than two people in public. We fully support these measures to protect public health and safety. As a result, it is no longer lawful for us to hold our AGM in the normal way.

Polymetal's AGM will be convened with the minimum quorum of shareholders present in order to conduct the business of the meeting. No external shareholders will be admitted. The results of the poll votes on the proposed resolutions will be announced, in the normal way, as soon as practicable after the conclusion of the AGM.
