Dealing Disclosure Requirements
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Takeover Code (the "Code"), if any
person is, or becomes, "interested" (directly or indirectly) in 1% or more of
any class of "relevant securities" of Anglo American or Xstrata plc
("Xstrata"), all "dealings" in any "relevant securities" of that company
(including by means of an option in respect of, or a derivative referenced to,
any such "relevant securities") must be publicly disclosed by no later than
3.30 pm (London time) on the London business day following the date of the
relevant transaction. This requirement will continue until the date on which
the offer becomes, or is declared, unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or
is otherwise withdrawn or on which the "offer period" otherwise ends. If two
or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding,
whether formal or informal, to acquire an "interest" in "relevant securities"
of Anglo American or Xstrata, they will be deemed to be a single person for
the purpose of Rule 8.3.
Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all "dealings" in "relevant
securities" of either Anglo American or Xstrata by Anglo American or Xstrata,
or by any of their respective "associates", must be disclosed by no later than
12.00 noon (London time) on the London business day following the date of the
relevant transaction.
A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose "relevant
securities" "dealings" should be disclosed, and the number of such securities
in issue, can be found on the Takeover Panel`s website at
www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk.
"Interests in securities" arise, in summary, when a person has long economic
exposure, whether absolute or conditional, to changes in the price of
securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an "interest" by
virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any option
in respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.
Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Code, which can also be found on
the Takeover Panel`s website. If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you
are required to disclose a "dealing" under Rule 8, you should consult the
Panel.
Forward-Looking Statements
This announcement includes forward-looking statements. All statements other
than statements of historical facts included in this announcement, including,
without limitation, those regarding Anglo American`s financial position,
business and acquisition strategy, plans and objectives of management for
future operations (including development plans and objectives relating to
Anglo American`s products, production forecasts and reserve and resource
positions), are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may
cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Anglo American, or
industry results, to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements.
Such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding
Anglo American`s present and future business strategies and the environment in
which Anglo American will operate in the future. Important factors that could
cause Anglo American`s actual results, performance or achievements to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among others,
levels of actual production during any period, levels of global demand and
commodity market prices, mineral resource exploration and development
capabilities, recovery rates and other operational capabilities, the
availability of mining and processing equipment, the ability to produce and
transport products profitably, the impact of foreign currency exchange rates
on market prices and operating costs, the availability of sufficient credit,
the effects of inflation, political uncertainty and economic conditions in
relevant areas of the world, the actions of competitors, activities by
governmental authorities such as changes in taxation or safety, health,
environmental or other types of regulation in the countries where Anglo
American operates, conflicts over land and resource ownership rights and such
other risk factors identified in Anglo American`s most recent Annual Report.
Forward-looking statements should, therefore, be construed in light of such
risk factors and undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this
announcement. Anglo American expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking
(except as required by applicable law, the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers
(the "Takeover Code"), the UK Listing Rules, the Disclosure and Transparency
Rules of the Financial Services Authority, the Listings Requirements of the
securities exchange of the JSE Limited in South Africa, the SWX Swiss
Exchange, the Botswana Stock Exchange and the Namibian Stock Exchange and any
other applicable regulations) to release publicly any updates or revisions to
any forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect any change in Anglo
American`s expectations with regard thereto or any change in events,
conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
Nothing in this announcement should be interpreted to mean that future
earnings per share of Anglo American will necessarily match or exceed its
historical published earnings per share.
Certain statistical and other information about Anglo American included in
this announcement is sourced from publicly available third party sources. As
such it presents the views of those third parties, but may not necessarily
correspond to the views held by Anglo American.
