This transfer is administrative in nature, has no impact on Anglo American’s beneficial interest in Kumba and forms part of a longstanding exercise by Anglo American to simplify its corporate structure in South Africa. Specifically, Anglo South Africa Capital Proprietary Limited ("ASAC"), all of the ordinary shares of which are owned by Anglo American, has transferred its entire 69.71% beneficial interest in the issued ordinary shares (“ordinary shares") of the Company such that as a result ASAC no longer holds any beneficial interest in the Company. Anglo South Africa Proprietary Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Anglo American, has acquired that same beneficial interest in the ordinary shares of the Company such that as a result it now holds a 69.71% beneficial interest in the ordinary shares of the Company. As required in terms of section 122(3)(a) of the Companies Act, the Company has filed the required notices with the Takeover Regulation Panel.
