Anglo American rough diamond sales value for De Beers’ tenth sales cycle of 2020

Anglo American plc announces the value of rough diamond sales (Global Sightholder Sales and
Auctions) for De Beers’ tenth sales cycle of 2020, amounting to $440 million.

                                    Cycle 10 2020(1)           Cycle 9 2020(2)              Cycle 10 2019
                                     (provisional)                (actual)                     (actual)
Sales value(3)                          $440m                      $462m                        $426m
 (1)   Cycle 10 2020 provisional sales value represents sales as at 16 December 2020
 (2)   Cycle 9 2020 actual sales value represents sales between the dates of 2 November and 16 November.
 (3)   Sales values are quoted on a consolidated accounting basis. Auction sales included in a given cycle are the sum of all 
       sales between the end of the preceding cycle and the end of the noted cycle.

Owing to the restrictions on the movement of people and products in various jurisdictions around
the globe, De Beers Group has continued to implement a more flexible approach to rough
diamond sales during the tenth sales cycle of 2020, with the Sight event extended beyond its
normal week-long duration. As a result, the provisional rough diamond sales figure quoted for
Cycle 10 represents the expected sales value for the period 7 December to 16 December and
remains subject to adjustment based on final completed sales.

Bruce Cleaver, CEO, De Beers Group, said: “Positive consumer demand for diamond jewellery
as we enter the holiday season is supporting the continuation of retail orders for polished
diamonds from the diamond industry’s midstream sector. This in turn supported steady demand
for De Beers rough diamonds at our final sales cycle of 2020. While the diamond industry ends
the year on a positive note, we must recognise the risks that the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic
presents to sector recovery both for the rest of this year and as we head into 2021.”
