Petropavlovsk PLC ("Petropavlovsk" or the "Company")
Investigation in Russia
Petropavlovsk has been made aware that the Investigative Committee of Russia for the City of Moscow (the "Committee") has initiated an investigation into events involving Petropavlovsk's Interim CEO, Mr Maksim Meshcheryakov. The Company understands that this investigation relates to the events of 26 - 27 August 2020, when Mr Meshcheryakov was denied access to the Company's office in Moscow, which he then entered in the presence of Moscow police, who he called to attend.
The Company understands that the investigation into Mr Meshcheryakov's actions relates to a crime under article 330 of the Russian criminal code called 'Arbitrariness'. According to legal advice received by the Company, the crime of Arbitrariness has a very broad definition, and may include actions that are commissioned to protect lawful rights or interests.
As noted in the Company's announcement of 28 August 2020, Mr Meshcheryakov's has encountered a lack of co-operation from some employees and ex-employees in certain of the Russian subsidiaries as he works to implement a robust and transparent controls framework across Petropavlovsk and its subsidiaries (the "Group"). That lack of co-operation included preventing Mr Meshcheryakov obtaining access to the Group's office in Moscow while he was attempting, with the full support of the Petropavlovsk Board, to safeguard the Group's assets and information.
The Company will, of course, fully cooperate with the Committee in its investigation.
