WHY YOU SHOULD ACCEPT ANGLOGOLD?S OFFER

The offer represents a significant premium* to the price at which Acacia shares traded prior to the announcement of AngloGold?s offer. The offer represents:

  • a 24% premium over Acacia?s closing share price on 8 October 1999, the last trading day immediately prior to the announcement of AngloGold?s offer;

  • a 41% premium over Acacia?s closing share price on 1 September 1999, the last trading day immediately prior to the announcement of Delta?s offer; and

  • a 44% premium based on the weighted average share prices of Acacia and AngloGold over the one month period to 1 September 1999.


The offer is unconditional and is therefore not subject to a minimum acceptance condition. If you accept the offer, you will receive your AngloGold shares within 3 business days. Alternatively, you may choose to have Deutsche Bank sell your AngloGold shares on your behalf, and receive the proceeds by cheque within 14 days.

As at 5 November AngloGold had a market capitalisation of approximately A$9 billion. Its shares are highly liquid with turnover of approximately A$400 million per month over the last 12 months.
