Asked computershare on friday how much the rights issue would be for australian AGG CDI holders.
Computershare quoted me 6.63 per share which is about 25% more than the correct price and they could not explain why.

I emailed AnglogoldAshanti HO in South Africa, got correct explanation. If you subscribe for the rights issue, you have to pay the 6.63 per share, which is currently about 25% in excess of the correct price. The relevant exchange rate to ZAR will be determined when the offer closes and a refund will be paid. This seems a bit dodgy to me, but they explain it because of potential volatility in the AUD/ZAR exchange rate so it makes sense. Sort of. I dunno why they could not put this information in their ASX announcement.

As from Monday AGG will be trading ex rights issue and could be quite cheap.
