SAM JONAH MOVES TO NON-EXECUTIVE BOARD POSITION AT ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI
Sam Jonah has indicated that he wishes to move to a non-executive role on the Board of AngloGold Ashanti in order to have more time with his family and to enable him to pursue interests outside AngloGold Ashanti. He has agreed to remain an office bearer of the Company and will retain the title President, but will exercise this role as a non-executive director. This move will become effective from 31 July 2005.
AngloGold Ashanti Chairman, Russell Edey, commented: "I regret that we will have less of Sam's time but thoroughly respect his reasons for wishing to make this move. I am pleased that he will remain an office bearer of the Company and will continue to be part of the collective leadership of AngloGold Ashanti.”
Dr Jonah said, “I am delighted that the integration of Ashanti and AngloGold has gone very well, which I attribute largely to the excellent relationship I have with Bobby Godsell. I look forward to my continuing role in AngloGold Ashanti, now in a non-executive capacity.”
