ANGLOGOLD LIMITED ANNOUNCES THE LAUNCH OF AN OFFERING OF US$900,000,000 CONVERTIBLE BONDS DUE 2009 (SUBJECT TO INCREASE BY UP TO US$100,000,000 PURSUANT TO AN OPTION) BY ITS SUBSIDIARY, ANGLOGOLD HOLDINGS PLC, GUARANTEED BY ANGLOGOLD LIMITED.
AngloGold Limited ("AngloGold") today announced the launch of an offering of US$900,000,000 (subject to increase by up to US$100,000,000 pursuant to an option) convertible bonds due 2009 (the "Bonds") by its wholly- owned subsidiary, AngloGold Holdings plc (the "Issuer"). The Bonds are guaranteed by AngloGold.
The Bonds will be convertible into American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") of AngloGold, with each ADS currently representing one ordinary share of AngloGold.
The final terms of the Bonds are expected to be announced after the pricing has been determined. The closing and settlement date of the offering is expected to occur on or about 27 February 2004.
AngloGold and the Issuer have agreed to a lock up period in respect of the ordinary shares of AngloGold for a period of 90 days after the closing date of the offering (both dates inclusive), subject to certain exceptions, including in relation to the ordinary shares of AngloGold to be issued to implement the proposed merger with Ashanti Goldfields Company Limited.
The Bonds will be sold outside the United States in reliance upon Regulation S under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and will be sold in the United States to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
Application has been made to the UK Listing Authority for the Bonds to be admitted to the Official List and to the London Stock Exchange plc for the Bonds to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange plc's market for listed securities.
This announcement is not an offer of securities for sale in the United States. Securities may not be sold in the United States unless they are registered or are exempt from registration. Neither AngloGold Holdings plc nor AngloGold Limited has registered nor intends to register any portion of this offering in the United States or to conduct a public offering in the United States.
