Anglo American announces sale of interests in Tarmac Middle East businesses to Colas

Anglo American plc (“Anglo American”) announces that it has completed the sale of its interests
in the operating joint venture entities which have historically operated under the Tarmac name
in the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar to Colas Moyen Orient SAS ("Colas"), a
subsidiary of Colas SA, a road and transport infrastructure construction company forming part
of the Bouygues Group. The sale to Colas of an additional non-operating joint venture entity in
Oman is pending satisfaction of certain outstanding conditions.

Completion of this transaction will mark the final exit by Anglo American from the Tarmac
businesses following the completion of the sale of its 50% ownership interest in Lafarge
Tarmac to Lafarge, as previously announced in July 2015. The terms of the transaction are
confidential.
