In terms of JSE Listings Requirement 3.63, AngloGold Ashanti gives notice that an Executive Director

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.

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

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
2014, which was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 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.
