The Issuer informs Investors and Shareholders about activation of negative risks of its production activities, caused by sanction decisions and bans in relation to the markets, where the Issuer is represented, where the products of the Issuer are sold and raw materials are purchased (Markets of the Russian Federation and Customs Union).

The level of the negative effect and possible consequences, as well as further presence of the Issuer in these markets could be reliably assessed after the political, economic and sanction processes will be stabilized.

The Management Board and Council are planning to implement measures to localize negative processes and risks and act in accordance with the Risk Management Policy of the Joint Stock Company Ditton pievadķēžu rūpnīca (s. www.dpr.lv, section “Uzņēmums” → ”Informācija”).

The Management Board and Council hopes for assistance and cooperation of public authorities, as the activation of these negative risks is not related to the Issuer.

Investors and Shareholders will be informed about development of the situation.
