NEWS RELEASE
DEALING IN SECURITIES BY AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND THE COMPANY SECRETARY OF ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI LIMITED
In terms of JSE Listings Requirement 3.63, AngloGold Ashanti gives notice that an Executive Director and the Company Secretary have dealt in ordinary shares of the Company, after having received clearance to do so in terms of JSE Listings Requirement 3.66. The transactions were pursuant to a Co-Investment Plan (CIP) for the Company’s executives.
In terms of the CIP, executives are allowed to apply up to 50% of their after tax cash bonus to purchase AngloGold Ashanti ordinary shares. The Company then matches their investment at 150% through an on-market purchase of shares, with vesting over a two-year period in two equal tranches; the first vesting date being the anniversary of the date on which the executive purchased the shares and the second vesting date being the second anniversary of the date on which the executive purchased the shares.
The Executive Director and the Company Secretary opted to participate in the CIP in 2013 and 2014 respectively. This being the second anniversary of the date on which the Executive Director purchased the shares in 2013, and the first anniversary of the date on which the Company Secretary purchased the shares in 2014, the Company has purchased and allocated matching shares to the Executive Directors and the Company Secretary as detailed below:

Although AngloGold Ashanti believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements and forecasts are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct.
