Kumba Iron Ore Limited Transfer of Securities

In accordance with section 122(3)(b) of the Companies Act, 71 of 2008 ("Companies Act"), and
paragraph 3.83(b) of the Listings Requirements of the JSE, Kumba advises its shareholders that
Anglo American plc (“Anglo American”) has transferred its entire 69.71% beneficial interest in the
Company from one wholly owned subsidiary in South Africa to another.

This transfer is administrative in nature, has no impact on Anglo American’s beneficial interest in
Kumba and forms part of a longstanding exercise by Anglo American to simplify its corporate
structure in South Africa.

Specifically, Anglo South Africa Capital Proprietary Limited ("ASAC"), all of the ordinary shares of
which are owned by Anglo American, has transferred its entire 69.71% beneficial interest in the
issued ordinary shares (“ordinary shares") of the Company such that as a result ASAC no longer
holds any beneficial interest in the Company. Anglo South Africa Proprietary Limited, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Anglo American, has acquired that same beneficial interest in the ordinary
shares of the Company such that as a result it now holds a 69.71% beneficial interest in the
ordinary shares of the Company.

As required in terms of section 122(3)(a) of the Companies Act, the Company has filed the required
notices with the Takeover Regulation Panel.
