Shareholders are reminded that shares in companies listed on the JSE can no longer be bought or sold on that exchange unless they have been dematerialised onto the STRATE system. It is therefore suggested that certificated shareholders on the Company's South African share register should consider dematerialising their shares and replacing them with electronic records of ownership. In this regard shareholders may contact either their own broker or a preferred CSDP, details of which are available from STRATE at queries@strate.co.za or telephone +27 11 759 5300 or fax +27 11 759 5505.
The dates and times in this circular are subject to change and any changes will be announced in the South African press and through SENS and other stock exchanges' news services. All times in this circular are South African local times unless otherwise stated.
CERTAIN FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this circular, including, without limitation, those concerning the impact on AngloGold Ashanti or outcome of certain litigation and AngloGold Ashanti's liquidity and capital resources and expenditure, contain certain forward-looking statements regarding AngloGold Ashanti's operations, economic performance and financial condition. Although AngloGold Ashanti believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Accordingly, results could differ materially from those set out in the forward-looking statements as a result of, among other factors, changes in economic and market conditions, success of business and operating initiatives, changes in the regulatory environment and other government action, fluctuations in gold prices and exchange rates, and business and operational risk management. For a discussion of such risk factors, refer to the annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2003, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on 19 March 2004.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Dear Shareholder
Historically shareholders have passed resolutions that have annually placed all of the unissued share capital under the control of the directors and additionally given the directors the authority to issue shares for cash that in aggregate do not exceed 15% (the maximum allowed by the JSE) of the issued share capital. The purpose of this is to enable the company to speedily take advantage of any value adding business opportunity that may arise using shares as a method of payment.
Resolutions to give effect to this were to have been put to shareholders at the last annual general meeting on 29 April 2004. However, it had come to our notice that some Institutional Funds that hold our shares have taken a policy decision not to support the resolutions of any company that gives directors wide powers with respect to unissued shares. The company understands and respects this view and, as a consequence, withdrew the resolutions at the annual general meeting with a view to proposing more limited resolutions at a general meeting of shareholders.
After due consideration the company has decided to propose to shareholders resolutions that will:
-
Place under the control of the directors unissued shares limited to 10% of the unissued share capital after setting aside so many shares as may be required to be allotted and issued in terms of the share incentive scheme and for the conversion of the Guaranteed Convertible Bonds.
-
Give the directors the right to place these shares for cash.
We believe that placing this reduced threshold on the issue of shares before which shareholders are consulted is in keeping with good corporate governance while giving the company sufficient flexibility to take advantage of small business opportunities should they arise.
I would therefore ask that you vote in favour of the resolutions detailed in this circular.
Yours sincerely
Russell Edey 
Chairman

1.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND PURPOSE OF THIS CIRCULAR
AngloGold Ashanti conducts gold mining operations in Africa, North and South America and Australia and undertakes exploration activities worldwide. In addition, the Company is involved in the manufacturing, marketing and selling of gold products, as well as the development of markets for gold.
At the annual general meeting of AngloGold Ashanti held on 29 April 2004, ordinary resolutions relating to the grant of a general authority to the directors to allot and issue unissued AngloGold Ashanti shares and to allot and issue unissued AngloGold Ashanti shares for cash were withdrawn after certain shareholders had indicated that, in the light of increased concerns about corporate governance, they wished to limit the authority of the directors to allot and issue authorised but unissued shares and to issue shares for cash, beyond the limitations which have been customary in the past. At the meeting it was intimated that a general meeting of shareholders would be convened to consider alternative resolutions relating to the authority of directors to allot and issue unissued AngloGold Ashanti shares.
Accordingly, a general meeting, notice of which forms part of this circular, has been convened to consider ordinary resolutions which:
-
place a maximum of 15,384,615 of the unissued AngloGold Ashanti shares as a specific authority under the control of the directors for the purposes of the conversion of the Guaranteed Convertible Bonds. The Bonds, which are convertible into AngloGold Ashanti ADSs at a price of $65.00 per ADS up to 27 February 2009, were issued in February 2004 by AngloGold Holdings plc, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AngloGold Ashanti. The proceeds of the issue, after payment of managers' commissions and other expenses, were required by AngloGold Ashanti to refinance amounts outstanding under credit facilities, to meet transaction costs in connection with the merger of the Company and Ashanti and for general corporate purposes, including planned capital expenditure;
-
grant a general authority to the directors to allot and issue not more than 10% of the unissued AngloGold Ashanti shares remaining after setting aside so many AngloGold Ashanti shares as may be required to be allotted and issued by AngloGold Ashanti pursuant to the AngloGold Limited Share Incentive Scheme and for the purposes of the conversion of the Guaranteed Convertible Bonds, for such purposes as the directors may in their discretion determine;
-
grant authority to the directors to allot and issue for cash that number of unissued AngloGold Ashanti shares placed under the control of the directors as a general authority which will not exceed 10% of the unissued share capital of AngloGold Ashanti remaining after setting aside so many AngloGold Ashanti shares as may be required to be allotted and issued by AngloGold Ashanti pursuant to the AngloGold Limited Share Incentive Scheme and for the purposes of the conversion of the Guaranteed Convertible Bonds.
The shares to be issued for cash under this authority would be issued without restrictions to any public shareholder, as defined by the JSE Listings Requirements, at a maximum discount of 10% of the weighted average traded price of the Company's shares on the JSE over the 30 business days prior to the date of determination of the price.
The specific authority to allot and issue AngloGold Ashanti shares for the purposes of the conversion of the Guaranteed Convertible Bonds will enable AngloGold Ashanti to issue shares upon any exercise of conversion rights attaching to the Guaranteed Convertible Bonds. Particulars of shares issued as a result of conversion of Bonds will be reflected in the Company's quarterly reports to shareholders.
The directors consider that the other two authorities would be advantageous to AngloGold Ashanti in order to enable it to take advantage of any business opportunity which may arise in the future. The total number of shares issued under these two authorities would not exceed 10% of the unissued share capital.
A 75% majority of the votes cast by shareholders present or represented by proxy at the general meeting is required for approval of the resolutions to authorise the allotment and issue of AngloGold Ashanti shares for cash and for the purposes of the conversion of the Guaranteed Convertible Bonds.
2.
SHARE CAPITAL
AngloGold Ashanti's authorised share capital is ZAR101,050,000, consisting of three classes of shares:
AngloGold Ashanti ordinary shares, A redeemable preference shares of par value ZAR0.50 each, and B redeemable preference shares of par value ZAR0.01 each. The AngloGold Ashanti ordinary shares and the A redeemable preference shares have voting rights, while the B redeemable preference shares have voting rights only under certain circumstances and, in respect of each of these classes of shares, there is no provision in the Articles of Association for cumulative voting.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION RELATING TO ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI
The unaudited pro forma financial information of AngloGold Ashanti was prepared in order to show the effects of the offering and conversion of the Guaranteed Convertible Bonds, assuming that the offering and conversion of the Guaranteed Convertible Bonds took place on 1 January 2003 for purposes of the income statement for the year ended 31 December 2003 and on 31 December 2003 for purposes of the balance sheet. The conversion of the Guaranteed Convertible Bonds is at the discretion of the bondholders and there can be no assurance that any of the Guaranteed Convertible Bonds will be converted. The information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and may not, because of its nature, give a true picture of the financial position of AngloGold Ashanti. It does not include any pro forma adjustments for the merger with Ashanti Goldfields Company Limited on 26 April 2004 and does not purport to be indicative of what the results or financial results would have been if the offering and conversion of the Guaranteed Convertible Bonds had actually occurred at an earlier date.
The unaudited pro forma financial information of AngloGold Ashanti should be read in conjunction with the Notes thereto and the report of Ernst & Young (Annexure A).
Unaudited pro forma per share information for the year ended 31 December 2003
The pro forma historical financial effects of the offering and conversion of the Guaranteed Convertible Bonds are as follows:

Notes:
1. Net asset value per share is computed by dividing shareholders' equity by the number of shares in issue. Net tangible asset
value per share is computed by dividing shareholders' equity (excluding goodwill) by the number of shares in issue.
2. The cash operating profit per share computation has been based on the weighted average number of shares in issue.
3. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net profits by the weighted average number of shares in issue.
4. The diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net profits by the weighted average diluted number of shares in issue.
5. Headline earnings removes items of a capital nature from the calculation of earnings per share. Headline earnings per share
is computed by dividing headline earnings by the weighted average number of shares in issue.
6. Adjusted headline earnings per share is computed by dividing adjusted headline earnings by the weighted average number of
shares in issue.
7. The weighted average number of AngloGold Ashanti shares in issue was 222,836,574 for the year ended 31 December 2003
and, as a result, the issuance of 15,384,615 AngloGold Ashanti shares for the conversion of the Guaranteed Convertible Bonds, the weighted average number of AngloGold Ashanti shares in issue for that period would have been 238,221,189.
8. The weighted average diluted number of AngloGold Ashanti shares in issue was 223,717,575 for the year ended 31 December
2003 and as a result of the conversion of the Guaranteed Convertible Bonds, the weighted average diluted number of AngloGold Ashanti shares in issue for that period would have been 239,102,190.
9. The number of AngloGold Ashanti shares in issue at 31 December 2003 was 223,136,342 and, as a result of the conversion
of the Guaranteed Convertible Bonds, the number of AngloGold Ashanti shares in issue at that date would have been 238,520,957.
10. Net debt includes both long-term and short-term debt and is net of cash. Net capital employed is calculated as shareholders'
equity adjusted for other comprehensive income and deferred taxation, plus minority interests, interest bearing debt, less cash. Net debt to net capital employed after conversion of the Guaranteed Convertible Bonds is not shown as net debt, net of cash, is negative.

Guaranteed Convertible Bonds Adjustments
1.1
Finance costs
Represents the net finance charges on the Guaranteed Convertible Bonds, calculated at an all inclusive cost of 4.282% on US$1,000 million. Less finance cost saved on existing facilities assumed to be repaid with funds from the Guaranteed Convertible Bonds issue for pre-conversion finance cost.
1.2
Finance costs
Represents the net finance charges on the Guaranteed Convertible Bonds, calculated at an all inclusive cost of 4.282% on US$1,000 million.
1.3
Cash and cash equivalents
Represents surplus cash from the bonds issue after repayment of drawdowns on the existing facilities of AngloGold Ashanti.
1.4
Shareholders' equity
Represents the equity portion of Guaranteed Convertible Bonds. The equity component, of US$82 million, represents the residual value, after deducting the liability component from the total proceeds of US$991 million from the issuance of the Guaranteed Convertible Bonds.
1.5
Shareholders' equity
The conversion adjustment to shareholders' equity is the net adjustment for the issuance of the 15,384,615 AngloGold Ashanti shares at US$65.00 per share totalling US$1,000 million, less equity components already recognised upon the issuance of the Guaranteed Convertible Bonds.
1.6 Borrowings
Represents the liability component of the Guaranteed Convertible Bonds of US$909 million, net of costs, after the repayment of US$335 million, being a part of the long-term portion of the drawdown of AngloGold Ashanti's existing facility and a portion of the current portion of borrowings of US$232 million. The liability component of US$909 million, net of cost, is calculated at the present value of all the cash flows discounted at the market rate of 4.282%, which is the return applicable to similar bonds without the conversion option.

LITIGATION STATEMENT
Save as disclosed below, there are no legal or arbitration proceedings in which any member of the AngloGold Ashanti Group is or has been engaged, including any such proceedings which are pending or threatened of which AngloGold Ashanti is aware, which may have, or have had during the 12 months preceding the date of this circular, a significant effect on the financial position of the AngloGold Ashanti Group.
Ashanti, Sam Jonah and Mark Keatley (Ashanti's former Chief Financial Officer) have been named as defendants in a consolidated class action under the United States federal securities laws in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York alleging non-disclosures and misstatements concerning Ashanti's hedging position and programme. The plaintiffs contend that Ashanti's and the individual defendants' actions violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. Two of the proposed class actions that were consolidated purported to be brought on behalf of investors who purchased Ashanti shares during the period 28 July 1999 through 5 October 1999, the 1999 Class Period, while the third purported to be brought on behalf of investors who purchased Ashanti shares during the period 21 April 1997 through 5 October 1999, the 1997 - 1999 Class Period. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, attorneys' and experts' fees and other relief.
The three actions were consolidated for all purposes by the court and the court appointed lead plaintiffs and lead counsel under the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. By Memorandum and Order dated 30 March 2004, the court granted the plaintiffs' motion to certify the case as a class action. A third consolidated amended class action complaint was filed on 26 April 2004.
The damages sought by the plaintiffs have not yet been specified, as is common practice in US litigation at the current stage of the proceedings.
Ashanti is vigorously defending the claims. Depositions of key witnesses have been taken and currently, certain pre-trial motions filed by both parties have yet to be resolved by the trial court. Although AngloGold Ashanti cannot make any assurances regarding the ultimate outcome of this litigation, based on its current knowledge, AngloGold Ashanti believes that the outcome will have no material adverse affect on its financial position.
6.
DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITY
The directors, whose names are given in paragraph 4.2 on page 12 of this circular, collectively and individually, accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the information given and certify that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, there are no facts, that have been omitted which would make any statement false or misleading, and that all reasonable enquiries to ascertain such facts have been made and that the circular contains all information required by the JSE Listings Requirements.

Certificated shareholders and dematerialised "own name" shareholders whose name appears on the sub-register maintained by their CSDP or broker, who are unable to attend the general meeting and wish to be represented thereat, must complete and return the attached form of proxy in accordance with the instructions contained therein, so as to reach the share registrars in South Africa, the United Kingdom, Australia or Ghana by no later than 11:00 on Friday, 25 June 2004.

ANNEXURE A
REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON THE PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET AND PRO FORMA FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE OFFERING AND CONVERSION OF THE GUARANTEED CONVERTIBLE BONDS
11 June 2004
The Directors 
AngloGold Ashanti Limited 
11 Diagonal Street 
Johannesburg 
2000
Dear Sirs
INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET AND INCOME STATEMENT AND THE PRO FORMA FINANCIAL EFFECTS ("Pro forma financial information") OF ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI LIMITED("AngloGold Ashanti") ON THE OFFERING AND CONVERSION OF THE GUARANTEED CONVERTIBLE BONDS ("the conversion")
INTRODUCTION
We have reviewed the pro forma financial effects and the pro forma consolidated balance sheet and income statement before and after the transaction, as set out in paragraph 3 of the circular ("the pro forma financial information") of the circular to shareholders of AngloGold Ashanti dated on or about 11 June 2004, relating to the effects of the offering and conversion of the Guaranteed Convertible Bonds.
The pro forma financial information has been prepared, for illustrative purposes only, to provide information about the financial effects of the conversion on the consolidated financial results and position of AngloGold Ashanti, had the transaction been effective as at 1 January 2003 for income statement purposes and 31 December 2003 for balance sheet purposes. Because of its nature, the pro forma financial information may not give a fair reflection of AngloGold Ashanti's financial position nor the effect on future earnings.
At your request and for the purpose of the circular, we present our report on the pro forma financial information of the conversion detailed in the circular in compliance with the Listings Requirements of the JSE Securities Exchange South Africa ("JSE Listings Requirements").
RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors are solely responsible for the preparation of the pro forma financial information to which this reporting accountant's report relates and for the financial statements and financial information from which it has been prepared.
It is our responsibility to review the financial information and to report to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the unaudited pro forma financial information, beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed at their dates of issue.
SCOPE
Our work, which did not involve any independent examination of any of the underlying financial information, consisted primarily of agreeing the unadjusted financial information to the audited results of AngloGold Ashanti for the year ended 31 December 2003, considering the evidence supporting the adjustments, re-performing the calculations based on the information obtained and discussing the pro forma financial information with the directors of AngloGold Ashanti.
15
background image
Had we performed additional procedures or had we performed an audit or review of the pro forma financial information in accordance with South African Auditing Standards, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you.
OPINION
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that:
-
the unaudited pro forma financial information has not been properly compiled on the basis stated;
-
such basis is inconsistent with the accounting policies of AngloGold Ashanti; and
-
the adjustments are inappropriate for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma financial information in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements.
