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.

with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, may be obtained from the
