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

Revised Court Order

Further to the announcement of 10 July 2020 and the court's determination that the complaints of Everest Alliance Limited ("Everest") regarding the appointment of Peter Hambro, Alya Samokhvalova, Angelica Phillips and Johnny Martin Smith (the "Temporary Directors") are arguable pending the outcome of a futher hearing on the application, the revised court order was issued on 14 July 2020 and confirms that the Temporary Directors will remain as directors of the Company, subject to the terms of the order.

This revised order permits the board of directors as a whole to act, subject to certain procedural requirements and the need to give at least 5 days' notice to Everest in respect of certain proposed actions, including the appointment of any new directors, the entry into or amendment of certain contracts or the issue of new shares (other than in connection with any conversion of the US$125 million notes due 2024 guaranteed by the Company). In addition, while the order remains in place resolutions of the board, including calling a general meeting ("GM"), require the approval of at least two (or for certain resolutions a majority) of the directors re-elected at the AGM on 30 June 2020, namely, Maxim Kharin, James Cameron, Katia Ray and Charlotte Philipps.

It is the Board's intention that, having received requisitions from both Prosperity Capital Management and Everest, a GM is called without delay, affording all shareholders the opportunity to cast their respective votes in full knowledge of the relevant facts. A notice convening the GM will be sent to shareholders in due course.
