Polymetal International plc (LSE, MOEX: POLY; ADR: AUCOY) (together with its subsidiaries - 'Polymetal', the 'Company', or the 'Group') is pleased to announce the start of its Board of Directors succession programme.

In order to further enhance the Board's core skills in finance, mining and institutional investor engagement while adhering to best practice in corporate governance, including having a majority of independent directors, Polymetal is starting a phased refresh of its Non-Executive Directors with at least one new director to be appointed at the Annual General Meeting in 2018, with further appointments in the next two years. The Company has engaged an executive search firm Spencer Stuart as a consultant to assist with the process.

'Over the next few years we will build a pipeline of potential candidates and have multiple appointments to the Board, said Bobby Godsell, Chairman of Polymetal. 'The Board is keen to ensure that we continue to have the appropriate balance of skills and experience to support, monitor and challenge the executive team in delivering on the Group's strategy.'
