Forward-looking statements:
This announcement includes forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical
facts included in this announcement, including, without limitation, those regarding Anglo American's
financial position, business, acquisition and divestment strategy, dividend policy, plans and objectives of
management for future operations (including development plans and objectives relating to Anglo American's
products, production forecasts and Ore Reserves and Mineral Resource estimates) and environmental,
social and corporate governance goals and aspirations, are forward -looking statements. By their nature,
such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which
may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Anglo American, or industry results, to be
materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements.

Such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding Anglo American's present
and future business strategies and the environment in which Anglo American will operate in the future.
Important factors that could cause Anglo American's actual results, performance or achievements to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among others, levels of actual production
during any period, levels of global demand and commodity market prices, mineral resource exploration and
development capabilities, recovery rates and other operational capabilities, safety, health or environmental
incidents, the effects of global pandemics and outbreaks of infectious diseases, the outcome of litigation or
regulatory proceedings, the availability of mining and processing equipment, the ability to produce and
transport products profitably, the availability of transportation infrastructure, the impact of foreign currency
exchange rates on market prices and operating costs, the availability of sufficient credit, the effects of
inflation, political uncertainty and economic conditions in relevant areas of the world, the actions of
competitors, activities by courts, regulators and governmental authorities such as in relation to permitting or
forcing closure of mines and ceasing of operations or maintenance of Anglo American's assets and changes
in taxation or safety, health, environmental or other types of regulation in the countries where Anglo
American operates, conflicts over land and resource ownership rights and such other risk factors identified
in Anglo American's most recent Annual Report. Forward -looking statements should, therefore, be
construed in light of such risk factors and undue reliance should not be placed on forward -looking
statements.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this announcement. Anglo American
expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking (except as required by applicable law, the City Code on
Takeovers and Mergers, the UK Listing Rules, the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial
Conduct Authority, the Listings Requirements of the securities exchange of the JSE Limited in South Africa,
the SIX Swiss Exchange, the Botswana Stock Exchange and the Namibian Stock Exchange and any other
applicable regulations) to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward -looking statement
contained herein to reflect any change in Anglo American's expectations with regard thereto or any change
in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. Nothing in this announcement
should be interpreted to mean that future earnings per share of Anglo American will necessarily match or
exceed its historical published earnings per share.
