Scott Perry, President and CEO stated, “The decision of Centerra’s Board to increase the quarterly dividend by 25% to C$0.05 per common share announced today, and planned into the future, was based on our strong operating performance and the higher gold price environment, both of which contributed to our growing free cash flow and a debt-free balance sheet as at June 30, 2020.”Centerra continues to proactively monitor closely the evolving situation relating to COVID-19 and how it may affect the Company’s business.  The Company notes that going forward, in addition to the other factors that the Board of Directors normally considers in connection with the declaration of dividends, it will also need to carefully consider whether, and the extent to which, developments relating to COVID-19 may affect its dividend program. In accordance with Centerra’s dividend policy, the timing and quantum of dividends are to be determined by the Board of Directors from time-to-time based on, among other things, the Company’s operating results, cash flow and financial conditions, Centerra’s current and anticipated capital requirements, and general business conditions.About Centerra
