Proposed Acquisition of Karaberd Mine – Second Extension to 14^th January 2023 of Time for Satisfaction of Conditions

IMC announces that it has agreed with Mineral Ventures Invest spol. s r.o. that the final date by which the conditions of the intended acquisition of the Karaberd Mine in Armenia (“Acquisition”), announced on 15^th April 2021, must be fulfilled has been extended to 14^th January 2023.

An extension was announced on 23^rd December 2021 to the fulfilment date owing to local, COVID-19 pandemic-related factors. Consequent upon earlier delays, certain structuring and organisational measures relating to the assets the subject of the Acquisition were also delayed beyond the parties’ expectations and control, necessitating a further extension. If, as and when necessary, the Directors of IMC shall continue to update shareholders and the market on the progress of the proposed transaction.

Executive Chairman,
