Coupon payments on Evraz EurobondsMining and metallurgical company Evraz managed to avoid default . Yesterday, the paying agent for Evraz Eurobonds maturing in 2023, the London branch of the Bank of New York Mellon, notified the company that the coupon payment had been transferred. Evraz announced this on the website of the London Stock Exchange.
Evraz also noted that it intends to fully fulfill its obligations under Eurobonds maturing in 2024 - these payments are due to the company on April 4.
The day before, the company said that the interest on Eurobonds, which it was supposed to pay on March 21, was blocked by the Societe Generale New York correspondent bank for a compliance check.
Evraz transferred money for coupon payments on March 16, two business days before the deadline.

Dividends of RaspadskayaThe Board of Directors of Raspadskaya at a meeting on March 23 will consider the issue of paying dividends for 2021.
At the end of 9 months of 2021, Raspadskaya's dividend yield was 11.7%. The final payments for 2021 due to rising coal prices could be about ₽30–40, which corresponds to another 9.4–12.5% dividend yield, says Vasily Karpunin, an expert at BCS World of Investments.
“However, it should be taken into account that there are high risks of companies temporarily deviating from their dividend policies. Recently, the chances of canceling payments have increased significantly throughout the Russian market, ”the expert warned.
In recent weeks, Enel Russia, X5 Group, Cherkizovo, Evraz, Rusagro have announced the refusal to pay dividends or the withdrawal of the recommendation on the amount of payments previously given by the Board of Directors.
In addition, Raspadskaya will publish 2021 IFRS financial results on March 23.
