RESULTS OF GENERAL MEETING - CHANGE OF NAME OF ANGLOGOLD LIMITED TO ANGLOGOLD
ASHANTI LIMITED
At the general meeting of shareholders of AngloGold held on Thursday, 8 April
2004, the special resolution approving the change of name of AngloGold to
AngloGold Ashanti Limited was passed by the requisite majority of shareholders.
Ashanti Goldfields Company Limited has announced that its shareholders voted
overwhelmingly in favour of the Scheme of Arrangement ("Scheme") for the merger
of AngloGold and Ashanti at a shareholders" meeting which was held on 7 April
2004. The Scheme is expected to become effective, subject to confirmation of
the Scheme by the High Court of Ghana, by the end of April 2004. The change of
name is conditional on the Scheme becoming effective and will be implemented
once the Scheme becomes effective.
AngloGold shareholders in possession of AngloGold share certificates need not
take any action once the change of name is implemented, since the share
certificates reflecting the old name of the Company will still be good for
delivery. Holders of dematerialised shares need not take any action as their
accounts at their CSDP or broker will be automatically updated with the change
of name by their CSDP or broker.
The effective date of the merger between AngloGold and Ashanti and the
consequent change of name to AngloGold Ashanti Limited will be announced in the
South African press and through the news services of the various stock exchanges
once the High Court of Ghana approves the Scheme.
