 relevant CSDP or broker.

 To comply with further requirements of Strate, share certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised
 between Wednesday, 13 March 2024 and Friday, 15 March 2024, both days inclusive. No transfers between
 South African, NYSE and Ghana share registers will be permitted between Tuesday, 12 March 2024 and
 Friday, 15 March 2024, both days inclusive.

Additional information for South African resident shareholders of the Company:

1.   AngloGold Ashanti had a total of 419,742,603 ordinary shares on issue at the dividend determination
     date of 23 February 2024.
2.   AngloGold Ashanti's UK unique taxpayer reference number: 8303513314
3.   Dividends declared and paid by the Company to South African resident shareholders holding shares on
     the South African section of the register are subject to South African dividend tax ("SA DWT") of 20%
     (subject to any applicable exemptions that may apply).
4.   Dividends will be paid net of SA DWT, to be withheld and paid to the South African Revenue Service.
     Such tax must be withheld unless beneficial owners of the dividend have provided the necessary
     documented proof to the regulated intermediary (being a broker, CSD participant, nominee company or
     the Company's transfer secretaries Computershare Investor Services (Pty) Ltd., Private Bag x9000,
     Saxonwold, 2132, South Africa) that they are exempt therefrom, or entitled to a reduced rate, as a result
     of any relevant double taxation agreement between South Africa and the country of tax domicile of such
     owner.
5.   The dividend will be distributed by the Company from retained earnings and is regarded as a "foreign
     dividend" (as defined in the South African Income Tax Act, No. 58 of 1962) for South African resident
     shareholders holding shares on the South African register.

6.   For the avoidance of doubt, SA DWT, and therefore the information provided in this announcement, is
     only of direct application to shareholders on the South African section of the register.


Shareholders are encouraged to consult their professional tax advisers should they be in any doubt as to the
appropriate action to take.
