The Demerger will result in Mondi being held by way of a dual listed companystructure ("DLC Structure"), comprising Mondi Limited ("MLTD"), a South Africanincorporated company holding Mondi's African assets, and Mondi plc ("MPLC"), aUK incorporated company holding Mondi's non African assets. If the Demerger becomes effective, holders of ordinary shares in Anglo American(the "Anglo American Shareholders") will receive both ordinary shares in MLTD ("MLTD Ordinary Shares") and ordinary shares in MPLC ("MPLC Ordinary Shares") inproportion to their holdings of existing ordinary shares in Anglo American ("Existing Anglo American Ordinary Shares"), which they will also continue tohold. Immediately following the Demerger, Existing Anglo American OrdinaryShares will undergo a 91:100 share consolidation. For every 100 Existing AngloAmerican Ordinary Shares held, shareholders will receive 10 MLTD Ordinary Sharesand 25 MPLC ordinary shares as well as 91 new Anglo American ordinary shares ("New Anglo American Ordinary Shares"). Following the Demerger, Mondi and Anglo American will operate independently ofeach other as separately listed and publicly traded companies. The Business of Mondi Mondi is an integrated paper and packaging group with sales of €5,751 million in2006. Its key operations and interests are in Western Europe, Emerging Europeand South Africa. Mondi is principally involved in the manufacture of packagingpaper, converted packaging products (including corrugated packaging, bags andflexible packaging) and office paper. In addition, it has merchant operationswhich focus on Austria and Emerging Europe and newsprint operations in SouthAfrica, the United Kingdom and Russia. Mondi is integrated across the paper and packaging production process from thegrowing of wood for pulp production and the manufacture of pulp and paper to theconversion of packaging papers into corrugated packaging and industrial bags.Furthermore, it has a growing flexibles business focused on the production ofrelease liner, extrusion coating and consumer flexibles products. Mondi has production operations in 112 locations across 34 countries. Mondiaveraged approximately 34,000 employees during 2006. Background to and reasons for the Demerger From its founding by the Anglo American group in South Africa in 1967, and itssubsequent expansion into Europe during the 1990s, Mondi has grown to become aleading integrated paper and packaging group. In October 2005, the Board of Directors of Anglo American announced that it hadundertaken a major strategic review of its business that would lead to arationalisation and simplification of its portfolio, with an increased focus onAnglo American's controlled mining businesses. Following this review, AngloAmerican announced in February 2006 its plans to list Mondi on the London StockExchange and, on 21 February 2007, it announced that approval in principle hadbeen received from the regulatory authorities in South Africa to demerge AngloAmerican's interests in Mondi through a DLC Structure. The Directors of Anglo American believe the proposed separation of Mondi fromAnglo American reflects the different characteristics of Mondi's paper andpackaging business and Anglo American's mining businesses. The Demerger willallow Anglo American and Mondi to pursue the independent strategies that bestmeet their respective long-term objectives. Additionally, the Demerger shouldensure that the value of Mondi's business is more fully recognised by the marketas investors are better able to assess its attributes. The Demerger will alsoenable Anglo American Shareholders to participate more directly in Mondi'sfuture development, should they choose to do so. Summary of the Demerger and Anglo American Share Consolidation A number of steps are required to give effect to the Demerger and the creationof the DLC Structure. Accordingly, the proposals of the Anglo American Board ofDirectors (the "Proposals") involve: - amendments to Anglo American's articles of association in order to allowthe payment of a dividend in specie and to facilitate the Demerger and an AngloAmerican Share consolidation; - an Anglo American dividend in specie (the "Demerger Dividend") to effectthe first stage of the Demerger, resulting in Anglo American Shareholdersreceiving MPLC Ordinary Shares (pro rata to their holdings in Anglo American andon a one for one basis); - a MPLC reduction of capital reducing the nominal value of each MPLCOrdinary Share from €2.00 to €0.05 resulting in the transfer of MLTD OrdinaryShares to holders of MPLC Ordinary Shares (pro rata to their holdings in AngloAmerican and, in relation to their holdings in MPLC Ordinary Shares, on a onefor ten basis); - a share consolidation of the MPLC Ordinary Shares received by AngloAmerican Shareholders (on a one for four basis) thereby increasing the nominalvalue of each MPLC Ordinary Share from €0.05 to €0.20; - the various agreements and structures establishing the DLC Structurecoming into effect; and - a share consolidation (the "Anglo American Share Consolidation") ofExisting Anglo American Ordinary Shares to create New Anglo American OrdinaryShares. Immediately following implementation of the Proposals, the aggregate number ofissued MLTD Ordinary Shares and the aggregate number of issued MPLC OrdinaryShares will be in the ratio of 2:5. The individual entitlements of Anglo American Shareholders (other than SouthAfrican shareholders holding dematerialised shares ("SA DematerialisedShareholders")) will be calculated by reference to their holdings of ExistingAnglo American Ordinary Shares on the Register at the Record Time, being 12.01a.m. on Monday, 2 July 2007. Individual entitlements of SA DematerialisedShareholders will be calculated by reference to their holdings at the JSE RecordTime, being 5.00 p.m. (South African time) on Friday, 6 July 2007. Details of the Anglo American Share Consolidation It is proposed that, following the Demerger, Existing Anglo American OrdinaryShares will be consolidated with the intention that (subject to marketmovements) the share price of one New Anglo American Ordinary Share immediatelyafter the Demerger Dividend and the Anglo American Share Consolidation should beapproximately equal to the average share price of one Existing Anglo AmericanOrdinary Share over a period of three months ending shortly before thepublication of this document, adjusted to reflect the payment of the specialcash dividends of 33 cents and 67 cents per Anglo American Ordinary Share on 3May 2006 and 21 September 2006, respectively. The Anglo American ShareConsolidation should accordingly preserve the value of options and awardsgranted under the Anglo American Share Schemes to reflect the Demerger and thepayment of the special cash dividends and avoid the need for any specificadjustments to the terms of such options and awards. Assuming that the Proposals become effective, and subject to rounding down ofthe fractional entitlements to New Anglo American Ordinary Shares, MLTD OrdinaryShares, and MPLC Ordinary Shares, Anglo American Shareholders will receive forevery 100 Existing Anglo American Ordinary Shares held: (i) 91 New Anglo American Ordinary Shares, (ii) 10 MLTD Ordinary Shares and (iii) 25 MPLC Ordinary Shares Key Features of the DLC Structure The Mondi Group will be held by MPLC and MLTD, which will be separate entitiesand separate stock exchange listings. Shareholders will receive shares in eachof these entities upon implementation of the Demerger, and will have the ability(as will investors generally) to buy and sell shares in these companiesindependently. However, the agreements to which each of the holding companieswill be party will effectively create a single economic group. 1. Separate entities and listings The JSE has granted a primary listing to MLTD by way of an introduction of theentire issued ordinary share capital of MLTD, in the "Basic Resources - Forestryand Paper", sector of the JSE List. The JSE has also granted a secondary listingby way of introduction of the entire issued ordinary share capital of MPLC inthe "Basic Resources - Forestry and Paper" sector of the JSE List. Applicationhas been made to the FSA for the MPLC Ordinary Shares to be admitted to theOfficial List and to the London Stock Exchange and for all of the MPLC OrdinaryShares to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's market forlisted securities. 2. Holdings of MLTD Ordinary Shares (or MLTD Depository lnterests) andMPLC Ordinary Shares Following implementation of the DLC Structure, any ordinary share held in eitherMLTD or MPLC gives the holder an equivalent effective economic interest in Mondi(see below for details). 3. Unified boards and management Mondi will operate as a single corporate group. As MLTD and MPLC will beseparate corporate entities, they will each continue to have a board ofdirectors, but the MLTD Board and MPLC Board will comprise the same directors.The MLTD Board and the MPLC Board will, in addition to their duties to thecompany concerned, have regard to the interests of both the holders of MLTDOrdinary Shares ("MLTD Shareholders") and holders of MPLC Ordinary Shares ("MPLCShareholders") as if the two companies were a single economic enterprise. 4. Equivalent economic interests Both MLTD Ordinary Shareholders and MPLC Ordinary Shareholders will haveequivalent economic and voting interests in Mondi. The economic and votinginterests represented by an ordinary share in one company relative to theeconomic and voting interests of an ordinary share in the other company will bedetermined by reference to a ratio known as the "Equalisation Ratio". Following the Demerger, the economic and voting interests attached to each MLTDOrdinary Share and each MPLC Ordinary Share will be the same, on the basis thatthe initial Equalisation Ratio will be 1:1. 5. Voting arrangements Under the terms of the DLC Agreements, the Articles of Association of MLTD andthe Articles of Association of MPLC, special voting arrangements are in place sothat the shareholders of both companies effectively vote together as a singledecision-making body on matters affecting the shareholders of each company insimilar ways ("Joint Electorate Actions"). For so long as the Equalisation Ratioremains 1:1, each MLTD Ordinary Share will effectively have the same votingrights as each MPLC Ordinary Share on Joint Electorate Actions. 6. Cross guarantees On implementation of the DLC Structure, MLTD and MPLC will each execute a deedpoll guarantee as a result of which it is anticipated that both MLTD and MPLCwill share the same credit rating. Creditors of MLTD and MPLC entitled to thebenefit of the Deed Poll Guarantees will, to the extent possible, be placed inthe same position as if the relevant debts were owed by Mondi. 7. Restrictions on takeovers of one company only The Articles of Association of MLTD and the Articles of Association of MPLCensure that a person cannot gain control of one company without having made anequivalent offer to the shareholders of both companies on equivalent terms. Dividend Policy The payment of future dividends by Anglo American and Mondi will depend on theirrespective circumstances at the relevant time. Anglo American: Anglo American has adopted a progressive dividend policy, which aims to increasethe dividend in years of increased profit and to maintain the dividend otherthan in exceptionally adverse circumstances. This policy will not change as aresult of the Demerger. Mondi: Following the Demerger, Mondi intends to pursue a dividend policy that reflectsits strategy of disciplined and value creating investment and growth with theaim of offering its shareholders long term dividend growth. The Directorsintend that the final and interim dividends will generally be paid in May andSeptember in the approximate proportions of two-thirds (final dividend) andone-third (interim dividend). The Directors intend that Mondi will pay aninterim dividend in September 2007, in the absence of unforeseen circumstances,with respect to the six-month period to 30 June 2007. Mondi will target a dividend cover range of two to three times on average overthe cycle, although the payout ratio in each year will vary in accordance withthe business cycle and will be subject to Mondi having sufficient distributablereserves. Debt Allocation Mondi's financing requirements, to the extent not financed out of cash generatedfrom operations, have historically been financed through a combination of equityand debt. Debt has been provided from bank loans made to Mondi and loans fromAnglo American. On the date the Demerger becomes effective, Mondi expects tohave net debt of approximately €1.5 billion, of which approximately €0.9 billionwill be owed to existing external lenders to Mondi and the balance will be owedunder a new €1.55 billion banking facility. Mondi intends to refinance all ofits existing debt to Anglo American at or shortly prior to completion of theDemerger out of the new multi-currency revolving credit facility.
