ANGLOGOLD WITHDRAWS MODIFIED HANDLING FEE ARRANGEMENTS
AngloGold announced today that it had withdrawn the modified handling fee arrangements announced on Monday, 3 December regarding AngloGold's offer for Normandy Mining.
The withdrawal of the arrangements comes in the light of an application made by Newmont Mining Corporation to the Australian Takeovers Panel and
Normandy's deferral of its recommendation in relation to the increased AngloGold offer for Normandy announced last Thursday. A recommendation in relation to the AngloGold offer is now not expected until next week.
AngloGold's original handling fee arrangements are not affected however, and will continue to apply until the close of AngloGold's offer, scheduled for 27 December 2001.
Accordingly, a participating organisation of the ASX whose stamp appears on the relevant 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, will continue to be paid fees as follows: (a) 0.75% of the consideration payable to accepting Normandy shareholders (on the basis that one AngloGold share is valued at A$65); and
(b) 1.25% of amounts subscribed under the AngloGold top-up facility to a maximum of $750 per acceptance form.
AngloGold's offer for Normandy is currently valued at $1.65 per share, compared with Newmont's offer of $1.48 per share (which could increase by a further $0.05 per share in the event of 90% acceptance of the offer), based on the relevant closing share prices on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday.
