   CLARIFICATION ON ANNUAL REPORT AND AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR 2022

    

   27 February 2023 - EVRAZ plc (“EVRAZ” or the “Company”) announces that the
   Company has not  been able to  engage an  auditor in respect  of its  most
   recent financial year  ended 31  December 2022  in light  of UK  sanctions
   imposed against EVRAZ.

   The Company  has made  multiple enquiries  to UK  audit firms  and no  one
   expressed willingness to act as a Company’s auditor in connection with the
   preparation  of  the  annual  report  and  audited  financial  statements.
   Additionally, EVRAZ wrote to  the Secretary of State  on 14 December  2022
   for guidance,  including whether  the Secretary  of State  would  exercise
   powers under the Companies Act 2006 (the “Act”) to appoint an auditor, but
   has not yet received a response.

   The deadline for the Company to prepare and publish its annual report  and
   audited financial statements for its  previous financial year is 30  April
   2023.

   Considering all the above it  is probable that EVRAZ  will not be able  to
   prepare and  publish annual  report and  audited financial  statements  as
   required by the Disclosure and Transparency  Rules and the Act as well  as
   approve and file audited financial statements with Companies House.

                                      ###
