ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI SECURES US$1 BILLION, FOUR-YEAR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
(JOHANNESBURG) --- AngloGold Ashanti has secured a US$1 billion, four-year unsecured revolving
credit facility (RCF) from its banking syndicate, to refinance its existing unsecured revolving credit
facility that matures in December 2010 and to extend the overall tenor of its balance sheet.
The new RCF, agreed with a group of 16 banks, replaces a three-year facility of US$1.15 billion that
was due to mature in December 2010. About US$700 million of the existing RCF is currently drawn.
The RCF was oversubscribed by about 1.6 times, allowing the company to significantly scale back the
commitments of each of its lenders.
“It’s an enormous vote of confidence for the company and its strategy that this facility generated this
level of interest from such a large group of top-tier international banks,’’ Srinivasan Venkatakrishnan,
AngloGold Ashanti’s chief financial officer, said. ``This not only removes refinancing risk for us well
ahead of the scheduled maturity date, but also advances our financial strategy of increasing the term
of our debt in line with our long life assets.’’
The RCF is charged at 175 basis points above the London Interbank Offered Rate and carries a
commitment fee of 40 percent of margin.
The syndicate comprises as mandated lead arrangers: Australia and New Zealand Banking Group,
Barclays Capital, Bank of America, Bank of Montreal, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, CIBC World
Markets, Citibank International, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Goldman Sachs International,
Morgan Stanley, FirstRand Bank acting through Rand Merchant Bank, Royal Bank of Canada,
Scotiabank, Standard Chartered Bank and UBS. Deutsche Bank AG is the co-arranger and Barclays
Bank PLC is the agent.
