In respect of Resolution 21 (Disapplication of pre-emption rights), the authority sought by the
Company was to disapply pre-emption rights only up to 2.5% of the issued share capital, rather than
5% as it has sought previously and which is aligned with the Investment Association’s share capital
guidelines and market practice for FTSE listed companies. However, Anglo American is mindful of the
concerns expressed by a number of its South African shareholders which has led to Resolution 21 not
receiving a high level of support. The Company will engage with its South African shareholders to
clarify their concerns.
This announcement will be available for viewing on the Company’s website, www.angloamerican.com,
as soon as practicable.
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, a copy of all resolutions passed, other than resolutions
concerning ordinary business, have been submitted to the UK Listing Authority via the National
Storage Mechanism and are available for inspection at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/nsm.
