NEWS RELEASE

ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI CEO TO STEP DOWN

(JOHANNESBURG) – AngloGold Ashanti announces that Kelvin Dushnisky will step down as chief
executive officer (CEO), effective 1 September 2020. The Board thanks Kelvin for his contribution in
delivering on its strategy and wishes him well in the future. Kelvin will remain in Toronto to spend time
with his family but will be available to assist the group with a smooth handover until 28 February 2021.

“I would like to thank Kelvin for his role in advancing our strategy, and wish him the very best for the
future,” AngloGold Ashanti Chairman Sipho Pityana said. “AngloGold Ashanti is well positioned to
further improve returns for shareholders, through improved operational performance and our rigorous
approach to capital allocation.”

Kelvin leaves AngloGold Ashanti in solid shape, with robust cash flows aiding ongoing debt reduction.
The quality of the portfolio continues to improve, with the agreed sale of our South African assets in
progress, the Obuasi Redevelopment Project ramping up to full production, our two high-quality
Colombia projects progressing through feasibility-study stage, and initiatives to increase reserve life at
key assets, progressing well.

“I’ve enjoyed the challenge of leading AngloGold Ashanti over these past two years, during which time
we’ve made tremendous progress on many fronts, from safety, to effective capital deployment and
streamlining the asset base, all while continuing to deliver strong returns,” Dushnisky said. “I’d like to
thank my executive team and employees across the business for their hard work and dedication, and
the Board for its support.”

Transitional Arrangements

The Board is pleased to announce that Christine Ramon currently chief financial officer (CFO), has
been appointed Interim CEO, whilst the Board embarks on a comprehensive recruitment process to
find a new CEO to deliver on the Group’s strategy for enhanced value creation. Christine will assume
the role on 1 September 2020. The recruitment process will be designed to search for the candidate
with strong leadership skills and relevant industry experience as well as values which are aligned with
AngloGold Ashanti’s.

Christine brings extensive experience and knowledge of the business to the interim role. A chartered
accountant, she has been an executive director of AngloGold Ashanti’s Board and a member of its
executive management team for the past six years. Prior to that, Christine held senior management and
executive positions in various companies, including CFO at Sasol from 2006 to 2013 after having served
as CEO of Johnnic Holdings. Ian Kramer, currently Senior Vice President: Group Finance, will assume
the role of Interim CFO for the duration of the transition period.

During this transitional period the Board, primarily through the Investment Committee and Audit and
Risk Committee, will provide additional guidance and support to the executive management team.

Looking ahead, the Board and executive management have maintained a clear set of near-term
priorities, including safe navigation of the Covid-19 pandemic, prioritising the welfare and safety of our
people and the support of healthcare systems in host communities, while also ensuring continued
operating improvements.
