Dal'nevostochnoye Morskoye Parkhdstv PAO : Announcement

FESCO PLC (the 'Company') announces that taking into account provisions of the issuing documents it took a decision not to make coupon and amortization payments due May 31, 2016 on the Company's ruble bonds, series BO-02 (the 'RUB bonds'), until the closing of voting on the items on the agenda of bondholder meeting scheduled for June 6, 2016. Previously the Company proposed bondholders to postpone 20% amortization payments for 6 months from May 31, 2016 to November 29, 2016 and to consider a waiver of their rights to claim early redemption of the bonds (to the extent such right arises) for a period of 3 months.

The decision corresponds with the intentions of the Company to carry out the restructuring of its debt obligations and is made in view of the ongoing discussions with the holders of the RUB bonds and in the context of the previously announced strategic review of the capital structure of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Approval by the holders of RUB bonds of the proposals made by the Company will allow it to duly continue its ongoing strategic analysis of the capital structure and to develop mutually acceptable terms for the restructuring of the Company's debt through a constructive dialogue with all the interested parties.
