NEWS RELEASE
DEALING IN SECURITIES BY THE COMPANY SECRETARY OF ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI LIMITED
In terms of JSE Listings Requirement 3.63, AngloGold Ashanti gives notice that the Company
Secretary has dealt in ordinary shares of the Company, after having received clearance to do so in
terms of JSE Listings Requirement 3.66. The transactions were pursuant to a Co-Investment Plan
(CIP) for the Company’s executives.

In terms of the CIP, executives are allowed to apply up to 50% of their after tax cash bonus to purchase
AngloGold Ashanti ordinary shares. The Company then matches their investment at 150% through an
on-market purchase of shares, with vesting over a two-year period in two equal tranches; the first
vesting date being the anniversary of the date on which the executive purchased the shares and the
second vesting date being the second anniversary of the date on which the executive purchased the
shares.

the date on which the Company Secretary purchased the shares in 2013, the Company has purchased
and allocated matching shares to the Company Secretary as detailed below:

Certain statements contained in this document, other than statements of historical fact, including, without limitation, those
concerning the economic outlook for the gold mining industry, expectations regarding gold prices, production, cash costs, all-in
sustaining costs, all-in costs, cost savings and other operating results, return on equity, productivity improvements, growth
prospects and outlook of AngloGold Ashanti’s operations, individually or in the aggregate, including the achievement of project
milestones, commencement and completion of commercial operations of certain of AngloGold Ashanti’s exploration and
production projects and the completion of acquisitions, dispositions or joint venture transactions, AngloGold Ashanti’s liquidity
and capital resources and capital expenditures and the outcome and consequence of any potential or pending litigation or
regulatory proceedings or environmental health and safety issues, are forward-looking statements regarding AngloGold
Ashanti’s operations, economic performance and financial condition. These forward-looking statements or forecasts involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause AngloGold Ashanti’s actual results, performance or
achievements to differ materially from the anticipated results, performance or achievements expressed or implied in these
forward-looking statements. Although AngloGold Ashanti believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements and forecasts are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct.
Accordingly, results could differ materially from those set out in the forward-looking statements as a result of, among other
factors, changes in economic, social and political and market conditions, the success of business and operating initiatives,
changes in the regulatory environment and other government actions, including environmental approvals, fluctuations in gold
prices and exchange rates, the outcome of pending or future litigation proceedings, and business and operational risk
management. For a discussion of such risk factors, refer to AngloGold Ashanti’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended
31 December 2013, which was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on 14 April 2014. These
factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause AngloGold Ashanti’s actual results to differ materially
from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material
adverse effects on future results. Consequently, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. AngloGold Ashanti undertakes no obligation to update publicly or release any revisions to these forward-looking
statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to
the extent required by applicable law. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to AngloGold
Ashanti or any person acting on its behalf are qualified by the cautionary statements herein.
This communication may contain certain “Non-GAAP” financial measures. AngloGold Ashanti utilises certain Non-GAAP
performance measures and ratios in managing its business. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and
not as an alternative for, the reported operating results or cash flow from operations or any other measures of performance
prepared in accordance with IFRS. In addition, the presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures other companies may use. AngloGold Ashanti posts information that is important to investors on the main page of its
