Share Sale and Demerger Plans: Anglo American raised 7.2 billion South African rand (~$403M) by selling a 5.3% stake in its subsidiary, Anglo American Platinum, at a discount, as part of a restructuring ahead of an expected demerger.
Restructuring Context: The company is undergoing significant changes after rejecting a $50 billion takeover bid from BHP, with plans to divest its platinum metals, diamonds, coal, and nickel units, which analysts suggest may indicate potential value loss during the process.
