Anglogold Files A Shelf Registration Statement With U.S. Securities And Exchange Commission ANGLOGOLD LIMITED (Registration number 1944/017354/06) (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) ("AngloGold") ISIN: ZAE000014601 JSE Share code: ANG ANGLOGOLD FILES A SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION AngloGold announced today that it has filed a shelf registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to enable the company to offer up to U.S. $600 million of its ordinary shares (in the form of ordinary shares or American depositary shares), debt securities (which may be convertible or exchangeable for other securities in AngloGold), warrants to purchase ordinary shares and rights to purchase ordinary shares, or any combination of these securities, in one or more offerings from time to time. AngloGold`s wholly- owned subsidiary, AngloGold International Holdings S.A., may also offer debt securities under the shelf registration statement which, if offered, will be guaranteed by AngloGold. AngloGold and AngloGold International Holdings S.A. may not issue and sell any securities pursuant to the shelf registration statement until the shelf registration statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The issuance and sale of any securities will also be subject to the approval of the South African Reserve Bank. The amount, type and price of the securities offered at any given time, and the names of underwriters, if any, will be determined at the time of the offering and will be provided in a supplement to the prospectus contained in the shelf registration statement. AngloGold plans to add the net proceeds from the sale of any securities pursuant to this shelf registration statement to its general funds, and to use these proceeds for working capital or general corporate purposes or to fund any potential future acquisitions. AngloGold may also apply these proceeds to reduce its short-term or other debt. Formed in 1998, AngloGold is one of the world`s largest gold producers by volume of gold produced, with extensive reserves and production of some 6 million ounces of gold annually. The company`s operations comprise open-pit and underground mines and surface reclamation plants in Africa, Australia, North America and South America. Its corporate headquarters are located in Johannesburg, South Africa. AngloGold`s American depositary shares, each representing one half of an ordinary share, are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "AU". AngloGold`s ordinary shares are listed on the JSE Securities Exchange South Africa under the symbol "ANG", the London Stock Exchange under the symbol "79LK", the Paris Bourse under the symbol "VA FP", the Australian Stock Exchange in the form of CHESS Depositary Interests (each representing one tenth of an ordinary share) under the symbol "AGG", and quoted in Brussels in the form of International Depositary Receipts under the symbol "ANG BB". With effect from the close of business on 24 December 2002, AngloGold`s ordinary shares will be sub-divided on a two for one basis. This will result in each AngloGold American depositary share (ADS) representing one AngloGold share and each AngloGold CHESS Depositary Interest (CDI) representing one fifth of an ordinary share. The number of outstanding ADSs and CDIs will not change as a result of the sub- division of AngloGold`s ordinary shares.
