Anglo American statement re. Anglo American Platinum

Anglo American plc draws attention to an announcement issued by Anglo American Platinum
Limited today, the text of which is set out below:

Anglo American Platinum update

Anglo American Platinum Limited (“Anglo American Platinum”) would like to provide an update
following yesterday’s announcement that we have suspended our Rustenburg platinum
operations, to protect the safety of our employees.

Anglo American Platinum confirms that a number of its employees joined others at a gathering
today in the Bleskop stadium in Rustenburg and that the gathering is now dispersing. During today,
Anglo American Platinum’s management team in Rustenburg has received a memorandum from a
small group of its employees. The memorandum is the same as the one received in mid-July at
Thembelani and Khuseleka mines. Approximately 300 Khuseleka employees presented the
memorandum to the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) two weeks
ago and a hearing is scheduled for 25 September.

We continue to monitor closely the situation across all of our Rustenburg operations with a
focus on ensuring the continued safety of our people and will provide further updates as
appropriate.
