Board update on governance and operational matters
As announced on 17 August 2020, the immediate priority of the
board of directors (the "Board") of Petropavlovsk PLC
("Petropavlovsk" or the "Company" or, together with its
subsidiaries, the "Group") has been to ensure the on-going
stability of operations. As part of this process, the Board acted
decisively to appoint Maxim Meshcheriakov as Interim CEO. Mr
Meshcheriakov carries the Board's full confidence and authority in
line with his current position as the Company's most senior
executive officer.
The Board is pleased to report that under Mr Meshcheriakov's
leadership, the Group's mining operations continue to function
normally. However, notwithstanding Mr Meshcheriakov's due
appointment as Interim CEO, he has unfortunately 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 the Group. The Board is
continuing to work with Mr Meshcheriakov to resolve these issues in
the best interests of all stakeholders.
