OVERSUBSCRIPTION OF THE ADS RIGHTS OFFER

The Bank of New York, AngloGold Ashanti’s American Depositary Share (“ADS”) rights agent, has

delivery fails to deliver its ADS rights on time, The Bank of New York will refund the amount deposited
by such subscriber, without interest, after deducting any expenses incurred from the failed guaranteed
delivery. The final number of subscriptions and oversubscriptions for ADSs pursuant to valid
guaranteed deliveries, which may be lower than 6.4 million ADS, will be announced when the
guaranteed delivery period expires.
