Polymetal got consideration of $20 million in cash and 750 ordinary shares of Polygon resulting in an 81.8% equity ownership in Polygon.
Polygon will operate as a standalone company with independent management, while Polymetal plans to provide certain technical and regulatory assistance to Polygon on an ongoing basis. Over time Polymetal may dilute its equity stake in Polygon if external equity financing is raised, Polymetal noted.
