Any changes to the abovementioned dates will be notified.

Notes

    1. Shareholders on the United Kingdom register of members with an address in the United Kingdom
       will be paid in pounds sterling and those with an address in a country in the European Union which
       has adopted the euro, will be paid in euros. Such shareholders may, however, elect to be paid their
       dividends in US dollars, provided the UK Registrars receive such election by Friday, 12 April 2024.
       Shareholders with an address elsewhere will be paid in US dollars except those registered on the
       South African branch register who will be paid in South African Rand and those registered on the
       Botswanan branch register who will be paid in Botswana Pula.

    2. Dividend Tax will be withheld from the amount of the gross dividend paid to South African
       shareholders at the rate of 20% unless a shareholder qualifies for exemption. In South Africa the
       dividend will be distributed by Anglo American South Africa Proprietary Limited, or one of its South
       African subsidiaries, in accordance with the Company’s dividend access share arrangements.



    3. Dematerialisation and rematerialisation of registered share certificates in South Africa will not be
       affected by CSDPs during the period from the JSE ex-dividend date to the record date (both days
       inclusive).


    4. A Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”) is provided to holders on the UK register by Equiniti
       Financial Services Limited. Holders on the South African branch register who wish to reinvest their
       dividends should contact their broker or Central Securities Depositary Participant (“CSDP”). The
       DRIP enables the Company’s shareholders to elect to have their cash dividend payments used to
       purchase the Company’s shares. Those shareholders who already participate in the DRIP need
       not complete a DRIP mandate form for each dividend as such forms provide an ongoing authority
       to participate in the DRIP until cancelled in writing. Shareholders who wish to participate in the
      DRIP should obtain a mandate form from the UK Registrars, the South African Transfer Secretaries
      or, in the case of those who hold their shares through the STRATE system, their CSDP.


  5. In terms of the DRIP, and subject to the purchase of shares in the open market, share
     certificates/CREST notifications are expected to be mailed and CSDP investor accounts
     credited/updated on or about Friday, 17 May 2024. CREST accounts will be credited on Thursday,
     09 May 2024.


  6. Copies of the terms and conditions of the DRIP are available from the UK Registrars
     (www.shareview.co.uk/info/drip) or for South African shareholders via their brokers or CSDPs.


  7. The US$: £ / € conversion rates will be determined by the actual rates achieved by Anglo American
     buying forward contracts for those currencies, during the two days preceding the announcement of
     the conversion rates, for delivery on the dividend payment date.
