Petropavlovsk PLC ("Petropavlovsk" or the "Company")

Update on Court Hearing

Further to the announcement made by Petropavlovsk on 7 July 2020, an adjourned court hearing was held at 14:00 yesterday in respect of an application made by Everest Alliance Limited ("Everest"), which holds approximately 7.5% of the Company's ordinary shares, that Peter Hambro, Alya Samokhvalova, Angelica Phillips and Johnny Martin Smith (the "Temporary Directors") were not validly appointed as directors of the Company and therefore should be removed as directors of the Company.

Following yesterday's adjourned court hearing, a confidential draft determination has been submitted to both parties for comment. The Company expects that a final ruling will be made later today, at which time the Company will make an announcement.

Pending final ruling, the Court has extended the restrictions noted in the Company's announcement of 2 July 2020, namely that the Company and the board are temporarily prevented from holding any board meeting or (in the case of any director) from acting as a director of the Company without giving at least 24 hours' notice in writing to Everest, save in limited circumstances.
