   Response to press speculations

    

   21 July 2022  – EVRAZ plc  (“EVRAZ” or the  “Company”) notes recent  press
   speculations regarding supply of materials for Russian military.

    

   EVRAZ denies the  speculations that  the Company is or has  been supplying
   products to the Russian military which may have been used for the military
   purposes.  EVRAZ  in  Russia   supplies  products  to infrastructure   and
   construction sectors for civilian use only.

    

   EVRAZ implemented sanctions compliance system in 2014 which screens  every
   customer and identifies  red flags. To  eliminate sanctions, economic  and
   reputational risks  the Company  verifies the  end-users of  products  and
   secures their civil use  by special clauses in  contracts. The Company  is
   not aware of its products being used for military purposes.

    

   Suggestions about  potential  use of  EVRAZ’s  steel, vanadium  and  other
   products for military purposes indicate  not only the misunderstanding  of
   steel industry’s base principles, but the lack of knowledge about  EVRAZ’s
   product range as well.

    

   Due to its public  status, EVRAZ’s product  portfolio is very  transparent
   and is regularly  audited by  independent audit companies.  The whole  and
   exhaustive product catalog  is indicated  in details in  the latest  EVRAZ
   Annual             Reports             on             the             link
