Silver producer Polymetal could sell as much as 8.6 percent of its stock to lenders with a view to buying it back at a higher price at a later date as it seeks funds to refinance debt.
"The company's board of directors resolved to approve the opportunity to raise financing by entering into repo transactions," Polymetal said Tuesday.
The approval allows for the sale of up to 34.5 million shares owned by the Polymetal Esop unit with an interest rate of no more than 3 percentage points above the London Interbank Offered Rate, it said.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
