Anglo American notes the level of votes cast against certain resolutions, which is broadly in line with
recent years’ voting trends. While these resolutions are considered routine for public companies in the
UK, Anglo American is aware that certain overseas institutions, predominantly in South Africa and the
US, do not generally support them. The Company will continue to engage with its shareholders to
further understand and, if possible, allay any such concerns for the future.


The full text of the resolutions can be found in the Notice of Annual of General Meeting.
