Modified Handling Fees

AngloGold today announced that it had modified the broker handling fees payable in connection with its offer for Normandy Mining Limited in respect of acceptances received by close of business on Tuesday, 11 December 2001. AngloGold believes it is appropriate to pay the modified handling fees to encourage brokers to initiate acceptances for our superior offer given the pending Christmas period.
The amount of the handling fee payable will be determined at rates in the attached table.
The modified handling fee arrangement is not subject to a maximum per acceptance form.
The fee is payable to any participating organisation of the ASX whose stamp appears on the Acceptance Form or who, in respect of a CHESS holding, provides evidence satisfactory to AngloGold that it is the Controlling Participant who has initiated the acceptance.
Under no circumstances will these handling fees be extended beyond 11 December 2001. For acceptances received after this date AngloGold will pay handling fees on acceptances in accordance with the existing arrangement at the rate of 0.75% with a maximum of A$750 per individual acceptance form. cont/
AngloGold reserves the right to aggregate any acceptances in determining the handling fees payable to any broker if AngloGold reasonably believes that a party has manipulated holdings to take advantage of the modified handling fee.
Brokers are precluded from receipt of any handling fee in respect of shares in which they or their associates have relevant interests (within the meaning of those terms under the Australian Corporations Act).
