Anglo American plc today announces that the offering of 16,328,313 AngloGold
Ashanti ordinary shares ("ordinary shares") by its subsidiary, Anglo South
Africa Capital (Proprietary) Limited ("ASAC"), and the offering by AngloGold
Ashanti Limited ("AngloGold Ashanti") of 9,970,732 ordinary shares, in each

After the completion of the offering, and depending upon the exercise by the
underwriters of their option, Anglo American's holding in AngloGold Ashanti will
be between 41.7% and 43.1%.
