The Scheme is expected to become effective, subject to confirmation of the Scheme by the High Court of Ghana, by the end of April 2004. The change of name is conditional on the Scheme becoming effective and will be implemented once the Scheme becomes effective.

Holders of dematerialised shares need not take any action as their accounts at their CSDP or broker will be automatically updated with the change of name by their CSDP or broker. The effective date of the merger between AngloGold and Ashanti and the consequent change of name to AngloGold Ashanti Limited will be announced in the South African press and through the news services of the various stock exchanges once the High Court of Ghana approves the Scheme. 8 April 2004 JOHANNESBURG JSE Sponsor : UBS Date: 08/04/2004 02:29:39 PM Supplied by www.sharenet.co.za Produced by the JSE SENS Department
