Full details regarding these matters are contained in the Company’s August 9, 2021 second quarter earnings press release.

This material change report has been filed at the request of the Ontario Securities Commission (the “OSC”) in connection with the OSC’s issue-oriented review of Centerra’s continuous disclosure record related to the developments with respect to the Kumtor Mine.
