Resignation of Auditor
Petropavlovsk PLC ("Petropavlovsk" or the "Company" and,
together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") has been informed of
the resignation of MHA MacIntyre Hudson ("MHA"), the UK member of
Baker Tilly International, as the Company's external auditor. MHA
had served as external auditor since September 2021.
As announced on 7 June 2022, the Board of Directors extended the
Company's accounting reference date from 31 December 2021 to 28
February 2022 in order to give the Company more time to allow the
completion of its audit and publish its annual report and accounts
for the period ended 28 February 2022. Nevertheless, the Board at
that time considered it unlikely that the Company would be able to
complete the audit save in the case of a material change in
circumstances. This position remains unchanged.
This announcement contains inside information.
