Gold mining company Polymetal has made a firm commitment to sell its Russian assets, which are subject to U.S. sanctions, no later than the first quarter of next year. The CEO of the company, Vitaly Nesis, informed investors about this during a conference call on the production results for the third quarter last week.
"When we relocated to Kazakhstan in August, we signed an official commitment stating that the company will sell its sanctioned Russian subsidiary, which is listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List, within nine months. This document serves as a preliminary condition for changing jurisdiction. While we cannot be excluded from the Moscow Exchange, we believe that this commitment represents a contractual obligation for us. Violating this obligation would have serious consequences for the company," said Nesis.
In September, Nesis predicted that the Russian division of Polymetal International would be sold within the next 6-9 months.
