ANGLOGOLD RECEIVES STRONG ACCEPTANCES FOR ITS OFFER FOR NORMANDY MINING AngloGold has received strong acceptances for its offer for Normandy Mining today - one day before the offer is scheduled to close.
Acceptances were received by the close of business in Australia today in respect of over 39 million Normandy shares (or 1.7% of Normandy's issued capital). This brings the total acceptances received to date to over 2.5% of Normandy's issued capital.
As a result, AngloGold will be filing a substantial shareholder notice with the Australian Stock Exchange prior to the commencement of trading on the exchange tomorrow, setting out precise details of AngloGold's relevant interest in Normandy as at the end of today.
AngloGold is encouraged by this level of tenders into the offer, which comes a day earlier than anticipated and which indicates substantial market support for the AngloGold offer.
AngloGold's offer is scheduled to close tomorrow, Friday, 11 January 2002 at 19:00 Sydney time (03:00 US Eastern time and 08:00 London time).
