Polyus Gold International plans to cancel its Russian unit's American Depositary Share program after completing a mandatory buyback offer for the company's shares.
Polyus Gold will apply to Britain's Listing Authority and the London Stock Exchange to cancel the listing and admission for trading of the ADS, it said Friday. The termination may be effective from Jan. 20, it said.
Polyus Gold International owns 92.95 percent of the Russian unit after completing a mandatory offer to buy back shares from minorities in November, it said. Together with ADS controlled by its Jenington International unit, the Jersey-registered company holds 95.31 percent of Polyus Gold, 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.
