(1) In terms of the THG BEE transaction, THG issued shares comprising an interest of 18% to a cane-grower BEE Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) and an infrastructure BEE SPV. The BEE cost in respect thereof is calculated in accordance with IFRS 2 and amounts to $45 million. This, together with relevant unbundling transaction costs, is excluded from Anglo American plc’s ‘Underlying earnings’ on the basis that these one-off costs are associated with the THG empowerment transaction and, thus, are not representative of the ongoing earnings generation of the Group. The costs, however, are included in THG’s ‘Headline earnings’ as defined by the JSE Limited.
(2) Relates to the period until 25 June 2007, when the Group ceased to account for THG as a subsidiary and began accounting for Tongaat-Hulett and Hulamin as associates under the equity method. For further details see note 35 to the Financial statements.
