NEWS RELEASE 
 
Intended Delisting and Cancellation of Securities from the London Stock 
Exchange 
 
(JOHANNESBURG) AngloGold Ashanti Limited ("AngloGold" or "the Company") 
announces that its board of directors has resolved to request the cancellation 
of the listing of the Company's ordinary shares and depositary interests of ZAR 
0.25 each (ISIN: ZAE000043485) (together, the "Securities") on the Official 
List of the UK Listing Authority and the cancellation of the admission to 
trading of the Securities on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange plc 
(the "LSE"). 
 
In connection with the proposed delisting, the board of AngloGold has also 
resolved to terminate the Company's UK depositary interest programme. This 
programme was established in 2012 to facilitate trading of the Company's shares 
on the LSE. 
 
Reasons for the delisting 
 
AngloGold has decided to apply for the voluntary delisting of its Securities 
because of the lack of liquidity on the LSE and the minimum number of 
Securities held in the UK. The vast majority of trading in AngloGold stock 
takes place through the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (the "JSE") and New York 
Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), and AngloGold has further listings on the Ghana 
Stock Exchange (the "GhSE") and Australian Securities Exchange (the "ASX"). 
AngloGold wishes to streamline its administrative procedures and reduce costs 
arising from listings on multiple stock exchanges. 
 
As the volume of trading on the Securities on the LSE is low and the Company's 
shares will continue to be traded on the JSE, the NYSE, the GhSE and the ASX, 
AngloGold believes the impact on its shareholders of delisting from the LSE 
will be minimal. During the past five years, for similar reasons, the Company 
has also cancelled its respective listings in Brussels and Paris. 
 
Effect of the delisting and termination of the depositary interest programme 
 
It is intended that on 22 September 2014 (the "Effective Date"), the Securities 
will cease to be admitted to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and 
cease to be admitted to trading on the Main Market of the LSE. Holders of 
Securities which are admitted to trading on the LSE ("UK Shareholders") will be 
able to continue to deal as usual in the Company's Securities on the LSE until 
19 September 2014. From and including the Effective Date, UK Shareholders will 
no longer be able to trade their Securities on the LSE. 
 
AngloGold has directed Computershare Investor Services PLC ("Computershare"), 
as depositary, to terminate AngloGold's depositary interest programme with 
effect from 15 October 2014 (the "DI Programme Termination Date"). 
Consequently, and in accordance with the terms of the depositary interest trust 
deed, Computershare will provide 30 days' notice of termination to all 
depositary interest holders. 
 
As set out above, depositary interest holders will be able to trade their 
depositary interests on the LSE up to and including 19 September 2014. From and 
including the Effective Date, holders of depositary interests will no longer be 
able to trade their depositary interests on the LSE. 
 
Prior to the DI Programme Termination Date, any depositary interest holder may 
direct their broker to complete a CREST Stock Withdrawal Form, in order for 
their holding to be replaced with the equivalent number of fully paid ordinary 
shares in the Company and transferred to the Company's Jersey register. 
 
Any depositary interests remaining on the Company's UK depositary interest 
register as at the DI Programme Termination Date will be cancelled and replaced 
on or shortly after the DI Programme Termination Date with the equivalent 
number of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and the holders of such 
shares will be entered onto the Company's Jersey register. 
 
It is the intention of the Company that the Jersey register will remain in 
place for approximately 12 months after the Effective Date. All holders of 
ordinary shares held on the Company's Jersey register as at the Effective Date, 
together with previous holders of depositary interests whose depositary 
interests have been replaced after the Effective Date with shares of the 
Company in certificated form, will remain on the Jersey register after the 
delisting. For further information regarding the Jersey register, please 
contact Computershare at the address or on the telephone number below. 
 
Shareholders on the Jersey register after the Effective Date will be able to 
trade their shares on any of the stock exchanges on which the Company is 
listed, however, the most liquid exchanges for the Company's stock are the JSE 
and the NYSE. 
 
  * Shareholders on the Jersey register who wish to trade their shares on the 
    JSE will be required to dematerialise their shareholding. For further 
    information on the steps that need to be taken to trade on the JSE, please 
    contact the Company's South African Transfer Secretaries, Computershare 
    Investor Services (Pty) Limited at the address or telephone number below. 
 
  * Shareholders on the Jersey register who wish to trade their shares on the 
    NYSE will be required to convert their shareholding to ADRs. For further 
    information on the steps that need to be taken to trade on the NYSE, please 
    contact AngloGold's Depository Bank, Bank of New York Mellon at the address 
    or telephone number below. 
 
  * Shareholders on the Jersey register who wish to trade their shares on the 
    GhSE or the ASX should speak to their broker. 
 
The Company is aware that, until the close of business on 19 September 2014, 
Redmayne-Bentley Stockbrokers is willing to provide a sale only dealing service 
(on the LSE) to UK resident individuals holding certificated shares on the 
Jersey register, subject to their normal terms and conditions and market 
availability. Following the delisting and cancellation of trading on the LSE, 
Redmayne-Bentley Stockbrokers may be able to assist UK resident individuals 
holding certificated shares on the Jersey register with dematerialising their 
shareholding to allow such shareholders to trade (sale only) on the JSE. Any 
shareholder who is interested in utilising either service should contact 
Matthew Burke or Colin Day of Redmayne-Bentley Stockbrokers either by telephone 
on 01132006400 or by email at southafricandealing@redmayne.co.uk. 
 
All holders of shares held on the Company's Jersey register on the date on 
which the Jersey register is closed will then be migrated to the Company's 
shareholder register in South Africa and such shares will be listed on the JSE. 
 
Expected delisting timetable 
 
Application has been made to the UK Listing Authority for the Securities to be 
removed from the Official List, and to the LSE for the Securities to be removed 
from trading. The last day of dealings in the Securities on the LSE is expected 
to be 19 September 2014. The cancellation of the listing and of trading in the 
Securities on the LSE is expected to take effect at or about 08:00 on 22 
September 2014.
