Anglo American Platinum Final Dividend Declaration

The Board is pleased to advise that at its meeting held on 15 February 2017, the directors adopted a
pay-out ratio driven dividend policy, which is in accordance with the Company’s capital allocation
framework and in line with our commitment to sustainably return cash to shareholders through the cycle,
whilst retaining a high level of balance sheet strength.

At that meeting, the directors approved the declaration of a final gross cash dividend of 349 cents per
share on the ordinary shares from profits accrued during the six months ended 31 December 2017. The
dividend has been declared from retained earnings.

The dividend will be subject to a dividend withholding tax of 20% for all shareholders who are not exempt
from or do not qualify for a reduced rate of withholding tax. The net dividend payable to shareholders
subject to withholding tax at a rate of 20% amounts to 279.20 cents per share.

The issued share capital at the declaration date is 269,681,886 ordinary shares and the Company’s tax
number is 9575104717.
