AngloGold Ltd today lodged its formal Offer Documents and Shareholder Circular in respect of its offer for Normandy Mining Ltd with the relevant regulatory authorities. In Johannesburg, the Circular to Shareholders was submitted to the Johannesburg Securities Exchange (JSE) for approval. Following the approval of the JSE, the circular will be posted to AngloGold shareholders later this month and a shareholders' meeting has been scheduled for 19 November 2001. In the United States, the F4 Registration Statement - the document required for the offer to be made to all shareholders located in the US - was filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. This document has also been filed with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) in Australia and will be available to Normandy shareholders located outside the United States on request. The offer will be opened to Normandy shareholders located in the US only upon the US Securities and Exchange Commission declaring the F4 Registration Statement effective. In Australia, the formal Bidder's Statement detailing the offer for Normandy Mining Ltd was lodged with the ASIC and served on Normandy Mining. A copy has already been sent to the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). The Bidder's Statement will be dispatched to Normandy shareholders at the end of October. The offer will remain open until 14 December 2001. The Bidder's Statement explains a number of features of interest to Normandy retail shareholders. Last week AngloGold announced a ten-for-one split of its CDIs in Australia to make the share more accessible to retail shareholders and to enhance trading liquidity on the ASX. The Bidder's Statement also includes details about a top-up facility as part of its commitment to building a long-term retail investor base and to further promote liquidity in Australia. The Company is proposing to offer accepting Normandy shareholders, other than those in the US, the opportunity to subscribe for additional AngloGold shares (to be registered in the form of CDIs) at a 7.5% discount to market prices. The top-up facility will allow subscriptions of up to A$5,000 with a minimum subscription level of A$2,500. AngloGold believes this will be the first time such a facility has been provided in Australia in conjunction with a takeover offer. No brokerage or other costs will be payable by Normandy shareholders. The facility will be subject to the approval of the South African Reserve Bank. Foreign Investment Review Board AngloGold has received notification from the Australian Foreign Investment Review Board that the application for approval of the transaction has been deferred, pending the release of the Bidder's Statement. It is anticipated that the transaction will be approved in due course. ends Holders of Normandy shares and Normandy ADSs located in the United States are strongly advised to read the F4 registration statement regarding the offer referred to in this press release and other documents to be filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission when they become available, because they will contain important information. Holders of Normandy shares and Normandy ADSs may read and copy these statements, when available, at the US Securities and Exchange Commission's public reference rooms. Please call the US Securities and Exchange Commission at +1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on the public reference rooms. These US Securities and Exchange Commission filings are also available to the public from commercial document retrieval services. www.anglogold.com Queries: In South Africa Steve Lenahan +2711 637 6248 (tel) +2711 637 6107 (fax) +27 83 308 2200 (mobile) slenahan@anglogold.com Shelagh Blackman +2711 637-6379 (tel) +2711 637-6399 (fax) +27 83 308 2471 (mobile) sblackman@anglogold.com In the UK Alex Buck +44 20 7664 8712 (tel) +44 20 7664 8711 (fax) +44 7932 2740 452 (mobile) abuck@anglogold.com In the USA Charles Carter 800 417 9255 toll free +1 212 750 7999 (tel) +1 212 750 5626 (fax) ccarter@anglogold.com In Australia Andrea Maxey +61 8 9425 4604 (tel) +61 8 9625 4650 fax) +61 438 001 393 (mobile) amaxey@anglogold.com.au Helpline AngloGold has established a toll-free shareholder information line in Australia, which can be accessed by dialling: 1800 770 019
