Polyus Finance Plc announces an update on coupon payments in
respect of its outstanding U.S.$ 700,000,000 3.25% Guaranteed Notes
due 2028
NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN OR INTO, OR TO
ANY PERSON LOCATED OR RESIDENT IN, ANY JURISDICTION WHERE IT IS
UNLAWFUL TO RELEASE, PUBLISH OR DISTRIBUTE THIS ANNOUNCEMENT.
The reference is made to the outstanding U.S.$700,000,000 3.25%
Guaranteed Notes due 2028 issued by the Issuer and guaranteed by
PJSC Polyus and JSC Polyus Krasnoyarsk (the "Notes").
Terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meaning
ascribed to them in the terms and conditions of the Notes.
The Issuer hereby notifies the holders of the Notes that, in
accordance with applicable provisions of the laws of the Russian
Federation and the terms of the Notes now in effect, in October
2022, JSC Polyus Krasnoyarsk transferred the funds denominated in
Russian rubles to National Settlement Depository as coupon payments
for the subsequent transfer of such funds to the holders of the
Notes the rights to which are recorded in Russian depositories.
In accordance with the terms of the Trust Deed, on 28 November
2022 the Issuer made a transfer of the coupon payment due 14
October under the Notes (the "14 October Coupon Payment") to the
order of I2 Capital Trust Corporation Ltd acting as a trustee under
the Notes (the "Trustee"). The Issuer successfully transferred the
14 October Coupon Payment to the Trustee within the applicable
grace period and is considered to have fulfilled its obligation to
pay the 14 October Coupon Payment under the terms of the Notes. The
Trustee is seeking written confirmation from the relevant clearing
systems that such funds can be transferred to them from the
Trustee. The Issuer expects that the 14 October Coupon Payment will
be transferred to the clearing systems for onward payment by the
Trustee to the holders of the Notes the rights to which are
recorded in foreign depositories (the "Offshore Noteholders") once
the written confirmation from the relevant clearing systems is
received.
The Issuer treats the interests of all its holders of the Notes
equally and is fully capable and committed to fulfil its payment
obligations in respect of the Offshore Noteholders. The Issuer will
continue to make every effort to facilitate the coupon payments by
the Paying Agent. The Issuer will provide further updates in case
there are developments with facilitating the coupon payments.
