EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER END OF YEARPlatinumOn 15 January 2013 the Group announced the outcome of its review of the <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>American</strong> Platinum business to create a sustainable, competitive andprofitable platinum business for the long term benefit of all stakeholders. The key proposals from the review were to place the Khuseleka and Khomananimines on care and maintenance, reconfigure the Rustenburg operations into three operating mines, close the Union Mine North declines and place otherprocessing assets on long term care and maintenance. <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>American</strong> Platinum is engaging with the South African government, organised labour and otherstakeholders and would pursue the consultation process in terms of the requirements of South African law prior to implementing these proposals.As a result, if the Group is not expected to receive future economic benefits from these mines, property, plant and equipment, a post-tax impairment of up to$0.6 billion could be recognised as an operating special item in the income statement in 2013.The gross cash costs associated with the implementation of the Portfolio Review and overhead review, which is expected to be approximately $0.3 billion(after tax: $0.2 billion), would be expensed as incurred as an operating special item in the income statement during the course of 2013.OtherOn 7 January 2013 the Group announced the completion of the 50:50 joint venture with Lafarge, which combined their cement, aggregates, ready-mix concrete,asphalt and asphalt surfacing, maintenance services, and waste services businesses in the United Kingdom.
