NEWS RELEASE
NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO APPROVE THE REMUNERATION
PAYABLE TO NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

1. Introduction and Authority Sought

The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors for their services as Directors was last approved by
shareholders by way of a special resolution on 16 May 2022, with the support of 98.98% of the voting rights
exercised on that resolution. This authority was limited to a period of one year until the next annual general
meeting of AngloGold Ashanti. The special resolution for Non-Executive Director remuneration contained in
the notice of annual general meeting of AngloGold Ashanti for the 2022 financial year was withdrawn at the
commencement of the meeting on 15 May 2023 as the Board had decided to revise the remuneration proposal
following engagement with shareholders.

Authority by way of special resolution is accordingly required to authorise payment to Non-Executive Directors.

Shareholders are accordingly advised that a circular to Shareholders will be issued today requesting
shareholders to authorise the payment to Non-Executive Directors for the period commencing Wednesday,
5 July 2023 (being the date of the General Meeting) until such authority is specifically replaced.

Words and expressions used in this announcement shall, unless expressly defined herein or indicated
otherwise by the context, bear the meanings given to them in the Circular.

   Sundays and gazetted, national public holidays) before the General Meeting, such shareholder will also
