Changes to the consolidated budget
(Shares buy-back program)
OJSC Polyus Gold’s Board of Directors has also approved changes to the company’s consolidated budget that will allow the launch of a share buy-back program for the amount of US$1 billion. It is expected that an investment bank will be engaged to provide advice in connection with the share buy-back, including the purchase price to be offered to shareholders. The buy-back, which is expected to occur in the final quarter of 2006, subject to market conditions and other factors, will be funded by existing cash-flow and is expected to be carried out by a subsidiary of OJSC Polyus Gold.
Other decisions passed by the Board of Directors included approval of two new corporate policies: “Public and Investor Relations” and “Financial Risk Management”.
Commenting on the announcement, the CEO of OJSC Polyus Gold, Evgueni Ivanov, said: “Decisions passed by the Board at this meeting are vital for the company and its shareholders. We are close to reaching the US$ 8 billion market capitalization target set in the previous version of the strategy significantly ahead of the stated timetable. This revised strategy sets new goals and provides the funds to reach them. We continue delivering on our promises. Projects such as the ADR listing and the share buy-back are aimed at raising our stock’s appeal to investors”.
