In order to offer United States shareholders of Normandy Mining Limited the opportunity to receive and freely trade AngloGold Limited shares in the US, it has been decided that AngloGold will file a Form F4 registration
statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). This will ensure that the offer is fully available to all US Normandy shareholders.
AngloGold is offering 2.15 of its shares for every 100 Normandy shares. The offer, announced on September 5, values Normandy shares at $1.42, and represents a 29% premium to Normandy's closing share price on the day prior to announcement of the offer. Tradability of CDIs
Normandy shareholders electing to accept this offer will be entitled to choose to receive either AngloGold shares, AngloGold ADRs or AngloGold CDIs, subject to any regulatory restrictions.
The AngloGold shares to be issued under the offer for Normandy will be entirely fungible - they will be readily convertible from one form to another to ensure that they can be traded on all of the exchanges on which the Company's shares are listed.
AngloGold share are traded as ordinary shares on the JSE. On the NYSE, these shares are traded as ADRs, in the ratio of 2 ADRs per ordinary share. In order to trade on the Australian Stock Exchange ("ASX"), the shares are registered as Chess Depositary Interests ("CDIs"). This is effectively an Australian ADR. Holders of these CDIs can either:
trade their holdings on the ASX under the electronic transfer and settlement system operated by the ASX, in the manner identical to trading in other Australian listed shares; or
trade their holdings internationally on one of the other exchanges on which AngloGold shares are listed, by converting the CDIs into the form of ordinary shares or ADRs.
In order to convert the AngloGold CDI into another form, the holder will simply need to notify the company's Australian share registry
(Computershare), which will then arrange for the underlying AngloGold shares to be transferred to the relevant foreign register. The underlying shares can then be traded on the relevant exchange.
