Anglo American sets cash value for fractional entitlements

LONDON - Mining giant Anglo American (JO:AGLJ) PLC has announced the cash proceeds for fractional entitlements that have arisen from the recent demerger of Valterra Platinum Limited and the subsequent share consolidation. The demerger, which involved distributing Valterra Platinum shares to qualifying Anglo American shareholders, and the share consolidation were detailed in a circular released on April 8, 2025.

Qualifying shareholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares that resulted from these corporate actions. The cash value for these fractional entitlements for shareholders on the South African and Botswana registers has been calculated using a volume-weighted average price, less 10%, based on trading on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE).

Specifically, the cash value for fractional entitlements from the demerger is set at ZAR 62,968.1157 cents per Valterra Platinum share. Shareholders are expected to receive these proceeds on Thursday, June 5, 2025. For the share consolidation, the cash value for fractional entitlements is determined at ZAR 48,291.4764 cents per new Anglo American share, with payments also scheduled for June 5, 2025.

For shareholders on the UK register, the cash proceeds will be converted into British pounds using the exchange rate from the Bank of England on June 3, 2025. These proceeds are expected to be paid by no later than Friday, June 13, 2025.

The demerger allowed qualifying shareholders to receive 110 demerger shares for every 1,075 Anglo American shares held at the demerger record time. The share consolidation adjusted holdings such that every 109 existing Anglo American shares were consolidated into 96 new shares.

The company, with a primary listing on the London Stock Exchange (LON:LSEG) and secondary listings on the JSE, the Botswana Stock Exchange, the Namibia Stock Exchange, and the SIX Swiss Exchange, has completed these transactions as outlined in the announcements and the circular provided to shareholders. The circular is available on the company’s website for further details.

This financial update is based on a press release statement issued by Anglo American on June 3, 2025.
