ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.
This Statement on Schedule 13D, as amended from time to time (this "Statement"),
relates to the ordinary shares, par value ZAR 0.25 per share (the "Ordinary
Shares"), of AngloGold Ashanti Limited (formerly, AngloGold Limited), a
corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of South Africa (the
"Issuer"). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 76 Jeppe
Street, Newtown, Johannesburg, 2001 (PO Box 62117, Marshalltown, 2107) South
Africa.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
This Statement is being jointly filed by Anglo American plc and Anglo South
Africa Capital (Proprietary) Limited (together, the "Reporting Persons").
Anglo American plc ("Anglo American"), a corporation incorporated under the laws
of England and Wales, has its principal executive offices at 20 Carlton House
Terrace, London SW1Y 5AN, United Kingdom and is a global leader in the mining
and natural resource sectors.
Anglo South Africa Capital (Proprietary) Limited ("Anglo SA Capital"), a
corporation incorporated under the laws of the Republic of South Africa, has its
principal executive offices at 44 Main Street, Johannesburg, 2001, South Africa
and is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Anglo American.
Anglo SA Capital is a wholly owned subsidiary of Anglo South Africa (Pty) Ltd.
("ASA"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Anglo American South Africa
Limited ("AASA"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Anglo American
International S.a.r.l. ("AA International"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary
of Anglo American (ASA, AASA, and AA International, collectively the "Holding
Companies"). Other than pursuant to the directions received from Anglo American,
none of the Holding Companies has or shares the voting power or investment power
within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act").
The directors and executive officers of each of Anglo American and Anglo SA
Capital are set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto. Exhibit A sets forth the
following information with respect to each such person: (i) name; (ii) business
address; (iii) present principal occupation or employment and the name,
principal business address of any corporation or other organization in which

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons or the Holding
Companies nor, to the best knowledge of each of the Reporting Persons, any
person named in Exhibit A attached hereto has been (a) convicted in a criminal
proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (b) a party
to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent
jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment,
decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or

reference.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATIONS.
Not applicable.
-3-
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
Anglo American is the largest shareholder of the Issuer.
In order to give the Issuer greater flexibility to pursue its strategic agenda,
the Reporting Persons have decided to reduce or dispose of their shareholding in
the Issuer and no longer to seek to retain it as a subsidiary.
On February 22, 2006, Anglo American issued a press release stating the
following in its entirety:
ANGLO AMERICAN ANNOUNCES PROPOSED PUBLIC SECONDARY OFFERING OF
ORDINARY SHARES OF ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI.
Anglo American plc ("Anglo American") today announces its intention to sell
through a registered offering a portion of its ordinary shares of AngloGold
Ashanti in the form of ordinary shares or American depositary shares, as one
means of reducing its shareholding in AngloGold Ashanti. The offering would be
made simultaneously in the US, South Africa and Europe. The offering is
anticipated to occur at some time over the coming months, subject to market
conditions.
Anglo American currently intends to remain a significant shareholder in
AngloGold Ashanti in the medium term.
THIS COMMUNICATION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE OR FORM PART OF AN OFFER TO SELL OR THE
SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO BUY SECURITIES OR OTHERWISE ENGAGE IN ANY INVESTMENT
ACTIVITY, NOR WILL THERE BE ANY SALE OF THE SECURITIES IN ANY JURISDICTION IN
WHICH SUCH OFFER, SOLICITATION OR SALE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL PRIOR TO REGISTRATION
OR QUALIFICATION.
Certain statements contained herein may constitute "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance
or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future
results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, risks associated
with the transactions described above.
On March 23, 2006 Anglo SA Capital entered into a Registration Rights Agreement
with the Issuer to facilitate the sale to the public of some or all of the
Ordinary Shares held by Anglo SA Capital. The terms of the Registration Rights
Agreement are discussed in Item 6 below.
On March 23, 2006 an "automatic shelf registration statement" as defined under
Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), on
Form F-3 in respect of the Ordinary Shares of the Issuer and a preliminary
prospectus was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. On March 24,
2006 a preliminary prospectus supplement relating to those Ordinary Shares was
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and on April 12, 2006 a final
prospectus supplement relating to those Ordinary Shares was filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. On April 20, 2006, Anglo SA Capital sold a
portion of its holding of Ordinary Shares of the Issuer in a registered offering
pursuant to this registration statement.
On April 10, 2006 Issuer and Anglo SA Capital entered into an Underwriting
Agreement with Goldman, Sachs & Co. and UBS Limited as co-representatives of the
several Underwriters named in Schedule I thereto pursuant to which Anglo SA
Capital has agreed, subject to customary closing conditions, to sell up to
20,273,170 of the Ordinary Shares held by it in a registered offering pursuant
to the registration statement referred to in the previous paragraph. The terms
of the Underwriting Agreement are discussed in Item 6 below.
On April 20, 2006 Anglo SA Capital disposed of 19,685,170 of the Ordinary Shares
of the Issuer. As a consequence of this disposition, the Reporting Persons'
beneficial ownership of the outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Issuer was
reduced to approximately 41.58%.
-4-
On October 1, 2007, a preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the Ordinary
Shares of the Issuer was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. On
October 2, 2007, a final prospectus supplement relating to the Ordinary Shares
of the Issuer was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
On October 1, 2007 Issuer and Anglo SA Capital entered into an Underwriting
Agreement with Goldman Sachs International and UBS Limited as representatives of
the several Underwriters named in Schedule I thereto pursuant to which Anglo SA
Capital has agreed, subject to customary closing conditions, to sell up to
67,100,000 of the Ordinary Shares held by it in a registered offering pursuant
to the preliminary prospectus supplement referred to in the previous paragraph.
The terms of the Underwriting Agreement are discussed in Item 6 below.
On October 9, 2007, Anglo SA Capital disposed of 67,100,000 of the Ordinary
Shares of the Issuer. As a consequence of this disposition, the Reporting
Persons' beneficial ownership of the outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Issuer
was reduced to approximately 17.3% as of October 9, 2007.
The representatives of Anglo American remaining on the Issuer's Board of
Directors resigned from the Issuer's Board of Directors on October 9, 2007.
On May 30, 2008, the Issuer filed a prospectus supplement (the "Prospectus
Supplement") to its prospectus, dated March 23, 2006, relating to the resale by
Anglo SA Capital of up to 11,335,259 share subscription rights (or the
equivalent number of American Depositary Share subscription rights), exercisable
for up to 11,335,259 ordinary shares (or the equivalent number of American
Depositary Shares) of the Issuer (such rights, the "Share Subscription Rights").
Anglo SA Capital received the Share Subscription Rights in a pro rata
distribution to shareholders of the Issuer on June 9, 2008. For more information
on the Share Subscription Rights, see the response to Item 5, below.
On July 4, 2008 the subscription period in respect of the Share Subscription
Rights expired. Anglo SA Capital exercised 11,172,254 Share Subscription Rights
at a subscription price of 194.00 South African Rand per ordinary share
(approximately $25.16 per ordinary share based on the noon exchange rate of
$1=ZAR7.7100 reported by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for July 3, 2008).
On July 7, 2008, Anglo SA Capital received 11,172,254 ordinary shares from the
Issuer in settlement of this exercise.
On January 16, 2009, Anglo SA Capital filed a Notice of Proposed Sale of
Securities on Form 144 (the "Form 144") with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, pursuant to which Anglo SA Capital indicated its intention to sell
10,386,299 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer (the "Rule 144 Sales"), including sales
in the form of American Depositary Shares, in transactions meeting the
requirements of Rule 144(f) under the Securities Act, with such sales to occur
between January 16, 2009 and April 15, 2009. On January 19, 2009, Anglo SA
Capital authorized and instructed UBS South Africa (Pty) Ltd., UBS Limited and
UBS Securities, LLC, to carry out the Rule 144 Sales from time to time over the
facilities of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (the "JSE") and the New York Stock
Exchange (the "NYSE"). As a consequence of Rule 144 Sales conducted from January
19, 2009 to February 5, 2009, the Reporting Persons' beneficial ownership of the
outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Issuer was reduced to approximately 13.3% as
of such date.
As of February 5, 2009, Anglo American has sold all of the 10,386,299 Ordinary
Shares to which the Form 144 relates. Anglo American intends to dispose of its
remaining shareholding in Ordinary Shares of the Issuer during the next several
years.
The Reporting Persons intend to continuously review their holdings in the Issuer
on a regular basis and, as a result thereof, in determining plans or proposals
with respect to the Issuer, may at any time or from time to time determine to
(a) dispose of any securities of the Issuer owned by them in the open market, in
privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, in such quantities and at such
times as may be determined from time to time, or (b) take any other available
course of action, which could involve one or more of the types of transactions
or have one or more of the results described in the next paragraph of this Item
4. In reaching any decision as to their course of action (as well as to the
specific elements thereof), the Reporting Persons currently expect that they
would take into consideration a variety of factors, including, but not limited
to, the Issuer's business, financial condition and prospects, other developments
concerning the Issuer and its equity financing requirements and its businesses
generally, other developments and other business opportunities available to the
Reporting Persons, developments with respect to the Reporting Persons' business
and general economic outlook, changes in law and government regulations, general
-5-
economic conditions, and money, currency, commodity and stock market conditions,
including the market price of the securities of the Issuer.
Other than as set forth in this Statement, the Reporting Persons have no present
plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the following
(although the Reporting Persons reserve the right to develop such plans or
proposals in the future): (i) the acquisition by any person of additional
securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer, (ii)
an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or
liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) a sale or
transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or of any of its
subsidiaries, (iv) any change in the present Board of Directors or management of
the Issuer, (v) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend
policy of the Issuer, (vi) any other material change in the Issuer's business or
corporate structure, (vii) changes in the Issuer's charter, bylaws or
instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the
acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person, (viii) a class of securities
of the Issuer being delisted from a national securities exchange or ceasing to
be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered
national securities association, (ix) a class of equity securities of the Issuer
becoming eligible for termination of registration, or (x) any action similar to
any of those enumerated above.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
(a) The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (11) through (13) of the
cover pages of this Statement are incorporated herein by reference. As of
February 5, 2009 the Reporting Persons are the sole beneficial owners of
46,788,884 Ordinary Shares representing 13.3% of the outstanding Ordinary
Shares. The calculation of the foregoing percentage is based on 350,687,488
Ordinary Shares outstanding as of October 31, 2008, as reported by the Issuer in
its prospectus supplement dated December 15, 2008, and filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on December 15, 2008 (the "Outstanding Shares").
Mr. G.G. Gomwe is a beneficial owner of 150 Ordinary Shares, and has sole voting
and dispositive power with respect to such Ordinary Shares. The number of
Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Gomwe represents less than 0.1% of the
Outstanding Shares.
As trustee of The BRO Trust, Mr. N.F. Oppenheimer shares with his fellow
trustees the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from
the sale of, 5,447 Ordinary Shares, which represents less than 0.1% of the
Outstanding Shares. The exercise of such power requires the unanimous approval
of all trustees of The BRO Trust. Mr. Oppenheimer is not a beneficiary of The
BRO Trust, which is a charitable trust.
Except as disclosed in this Item 5(a), none of the Reporting Persons or the
Holding Companies nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of the persons listed
on Exhibit A to this Statement beneficially owns any Ordinary Shares or has the
right to acquire any Ordinary Shares.
(b) All decisions with respect to the voting and/or disposition of the Ordinary
Shares owned by the Reporting Persons are currently made by the Board of
Directors of Anglo American. Accordingly, Anglo American has the power to direct
the voting and/or disposition of the Ordinary Shares held by Anglo SA Capital,
and Anglo SA Capital has the power to vote and/or dispose of the Ordinary Shares
(which power is exercised at the direction of Anglo American). The responses of
the Reporting Persons to (i) Rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages of this
Statement and (ii) Item 5(a) hereof are incorporated herein by reference.
(c) The following sales have been effected by the Reporting Persons since
January 28, 2009, the date of filing of the most recent amendment to this
Statement on Schedule 13D:

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO
SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
On March 23, 2006 Anglo SA Capital entered into a Registration Rights Agreement
(the "Registration Rights Agreement") with the Issuer to facilitate the sale to
the public of some or all of the Ordinary Shares of the Issuer held by Anglo SA
Capital as well as any securities into or for which the Ordinary Shares have
been converted and any security issued with respect thereto upon any share
dividend, split or similar event. The Registration Rights Agreement requires the
Issuer to use all reasonable efforts to file with the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission, no later than March 27, 2006, a shelf registration
statement on Form F-3, providing for one or more offerings to be made on a
delayed basis of such number of Ordinary Shares of the Issuer as Anglo SA
Capital may determine in its sole discretion; and file, upon demand by Anglo SA
Capital, additional non-continuous registration statements on Form F-3 providing

qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreement
incorporated by reference in Exhibit C hereto.
On April 10, 2006 Issuer and Anglo SA Capital entered into an Underwriting
Agreement with Goldman, Sachs & Co. and UBS Limited as co-representatives of the

lock-up provision therein whereby, subject to certain exceptions, it was
