ANGLOGOLD LIMITED (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Registration Number: 1944/017354/06) ISIN Number: ZAE000014601 JSE Share Code: ANG NEWS RELEASE CORPORATE AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT 16th FLOOR, 11 DIAGONAL STREET JOHANNESBURG 2001 TELEPHONE: (+27 11) 637-6385 FAX: (+27 11) 637-6399/6400 SJL/CAD/AGO293.02 18 January 2002 ANGLOGOLD ANNOUNCES ACCEPTANCE LEVEL AND INCREASED SHAREHOLDER BASE
At the scheduled close of its offer for Normandy today in Sydney,
AngloGold had received acceptances of 159.4 million Normandy shares,
representing 7.1% of Normandy's share capital. This does not represent a level of acceptance that warrants an extension of the offer. The
company believes that it is not possible for AngloGold to obtain
majority control of Normandy and has therefore closed its offer.
Bobby Godsell, AngloGold's Chairman and CEO, said: "While we are
clearly disappointed at not being able to do this transaction, we have attracted some 2 500 new shareholders to AngloGold, some 1 800 of whom are in Australia. This reflects the increasingly global character of AngloGold's shareholder base and we are hoping that this will begin to impact positively on our share's liquidity in Australia."
