Centerra Gold chairman Michael Parrett to switch roles, Paul Wright to succeed

Nancy Lipson, chair of Centerra’s nominating and corporate governance committee, stated, “On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to announce that Paul Wright will succeed Michael Parrett as Chair of the Board of Directors, effective January 1, 2026. Paul has over 40 years of international experience in the successful development and operation of both underground and open pit mines, including 20 years as President and CEO of Eldorado Gold Corporation. The Board looks forward to his leadership as Centerra continues to execute its disciplined growth strategy. Since Mike’s appointment as Chair in 2019, the Company has undergone a significant transformation. His leadership was instrumental in guiding Centerra through a challenging period, including the negotiation of the Company’s exit from Central Asia, a CEO succession, and the establishment of a focused growth strategy. Mike will continue to serve as an independent director to ensure a smooth transition.”
