The BSP comprises of the Annual Cash Bonus and the Bonus Share Awards. Participation in the BSP will commence on 1 October 2014 and you will be entitled to a pro-rata cash bonus and matching shares in line with the rules of the scheme. Executive appraisals are normally conducted in December of each year. However, due to the short duration of your employment at that point it may not be possible t complete a full appraisal at the time. In that case, you will be rated as “to early to rate” which equates to a 3 performance for purposes of our incentive schemes. The details of the schemes are below:

You may earn up to 70% of your base salary as an annual cash bonus. The annual bonus is determined by the achievement of a number of company level performance targets and personal targets.

Your annual cash bonus will be matched by an award of shares (Bonus Shares) of 150%. Fifty percent of each grant vests 12 months after issue and the balance after 24 months.

You will also be eligible to participate in our Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). Participation will be in accordance with the annual allocation as per the scheme rules. In terms of the LTIP, you will currently be eligible to be allocated shares as a percentage of your Basic Salary.

The LTIP is a performance based scheme with set targets over a three year period and the amount of shares that will vest will be in accordance with the achievements of targets as per the rules.

You will also be eligible to participate in our Co-investment Plan. You will be permitted to take up to 50% of your after tax cash bonus and invest it in shares. The company will then match these shares with 150% provided you hold your investment over a 2 year period. The matching will occur in 2 tranches, 50% after one year and 50% at the end of the second year.

You will receive a LTIP Sign-On share allocation to the value of R5,000,000. This allocation will be treated in line with the rules of the scheme and subject to the 2014 targets which will determine the vesting of the shares over the 3 year period. The share allocation will be awarded to you in October 2014 at the prevailing AngloGold Ashanti share price at the time (on a VWAP formula).

As an Executive Director you will be subject to a minimum shareholding requirement (MSR) which will be applied as follows:
