(" Petra ", or the
" Company ")
Moody's credit ratings withdrawal
Petra Diamonds Limited notes the announcement released by Moody's Ratings
confirming the withdrawal of all its credit ratings relating to the Company
and its subsidiary, Petra Diamonds US$ Treasury Plc.
The Company confirms that the withdrawal of the ratings followed the
cancellation of the Company's ratings subscription with Moody's and was made
at the Company's request. The withdrawal does not result from any change in
the Company's trading performance, financial position, liquidity, or outlook,
nor from any credit event. The decision to terminate this ratings coverage by
Moody's is in support of the Company's on-going cost optimisation initiatives.
The Company remains engaged with S&P Global Ratings ("S&P"), as per the
requirement under the terms of its Second Lien Notes, to have ratings coverage
by at least one of S&P or Moody's. The most recent rating, where the Company
was upgraded following the successful Refinancing, can be found on our
