Petroplus Holdings AG (SIX: PPHN) today announced that it has started to safely shut down the Petit Couronne refinery due to strike actions taken by workers at the
refinery, which prevents the refinery to operate according to the safety requirements.

The restart of the refinery is dependent on the outcome of the strikes. Petroplus is taking steps to continue to supply oil products to its customers.

Petroplus Holdings AG is the largest independent refiner and wholesaler of petroleum products in Europe. Petroplus focuses on refining and currently owns and operates six refineries across Europe: the Coryton Refinery on the Thames Estuary in the United Kingdom, the Belgium Refining Corporation Refinery in Antwerp, Belgium, the Petit Couronne Refinery in Petit Couronne, France, the Ingolstadt Refinery in Ingolstadt, Germany, the Reichstett Refinery near Strasbourg, France, and the Cressier Refinery in the canton of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. The refineries have a combined throughput capacity of approximately 752,000 barrels per day.
