Dividends in respect of dematerialised shareholdings will be credited to shareholders' accounts with the
relevant CSDP or broker.
To comply with further requirements of Strate, share certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised
between Wednesday, 28 May 2025 and Friday, 30 May 2025, both days inclusive. No transfers between
South African, NYSE and Ghanaian share registers will be permitted between Friday, 23 May 2025 and
Friday, 30 May 2025, both days inclusive.

Additional information for South African resident shareholders of the Company:

1.   AngloGold Ashanti had a total of 504,097,915 ordinary shares in issue at the dividend declaration
     date of 9 May 2025.
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). Payment of the
     dividend for South African resident shareholders holding shares on the South African register will be
     made from the United Kingdom.
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.
