DIRECTOR`S / PDMR`s INTERESTS
The Company annnounces that it received the following notification on Wednesday
12 March from Maitland Advisory LLP with respect to the interests in the
Company`s ordinary shares of US$0.54945 each, of Mr N F Oppenheimer, a non-
executive director of the Company:
"Notification of a transaction in Ordinary Shares of US$0.54945 each ("Ordinary
Shares") of Anglo American plc ("the Company") pursuant to paragraph 3.1.2 of
the Disclosure and Transparency Rules and paragraph 22(c) of the Model Code
I have been authorised and instructed by Mr NF Oppenheimer and E Oppenheimer &
Son Holdings Limited ("EOSH") of 9 rue Sainte Zithe, Luxembourg and E
Oppenheimer & Son International Limited ("EOSI") and Gartland Limited
("Gartland") and Naunton Limited ("Naunton") of Midocean Chambers, PO Box 805,
Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands, on their behalf to make the
following notifications in relation to the transactions specified below.
The information is given to you to discharge the obligations of Mr NF
Oppenheimer and EOSH and EOSI and Naunton under paragraph 3.1.2 of the
Disclosure and Transparency Rules and the obligations of EOSH, EOSI and Naunton
under paragraph 22(c) of the Model Code.
Mr NF Oppenheimer is a director of the Company and accordingly is a person
discharging managerial responsibilities in relation to the Company. EOSH, EOSI
and Naunton are connected with Mr NF Oppenheimer because Mr NF Oppenheimer is
interested in shares comprised in the equity share capital of those entities
equal to at least one-fifth of that share capital and accordingly EOSH, EOSI and
Naunton have a responsibility to notify certain transactions to the Company.
The Company is the issuer in relation to whom this notice is made. The
transactions are consequential upon an internal re-arrangement of the way in
which the shareholding interests of the E Oppenheimer & Son International
Limited group are registered and there is no change to the overall interest of
the E Oppenheimer & Son International Limited Group as a consequence of the
rearrangement.
On 10 March 2008, EOSH was put into liquidation. In anticipation of this
liquidation:
- On 7 March 2008, Gartland instructed EOSH to transfer 8,097,548 Ordinary
Shares held by EOSH as its nominee to EOSI, also as its nominee;
- On 7 March 2008, Naunton instructed EOSH to transfer 12,517,812 Ordinary
Shares held by EOSH as its nominee to EOSI, also as its nominee.
On 10 March, EOSH transferred 6,684,640 shares to EOSI as a consequence of the
liquidation of EOSH.
On 11 March 2008 Naunton was put into liquidation. As a consequence of the
liquidation Naunton directed EOSI that the 12,517,812 Ordinary Shares held by
EOSI as nominee for Naunton were no longer held by it in that capacity but were
held by EOSI as beneficial owner."
