CHANGE TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

In compliance with Paragraph 3.59(b) of the JSE Listings Requirement, shareholders are
advised of the resignation of Mr Anthony Martin O’Neill (‘Tony’) as an executive director from the
Board of Directors with effect from 19 July 2013. In addition he has decided to take early
retirement and will be relinquishing his position at the company as Executive Vice President:
Business and Technical Development. Mr O’Neill last working day at the company will be 19
July 2013.

Tony leaves having fulfilled his commitment to assist in the transition of AngloGold Ashanti’s
new leadership team, which was announced in May. He has served AngloGold Ashanti and its
stakeholders with distinction over his five years at the company, providing a wealth of industry
experience and technical capability to the board and its committees, as well as to the
management team.

“Tony stepped in and played a vital role as Acting Joint Interim Chief Executive earlier this year
and helped make sure that there was a seamless transition at AngloGold Ashanti. As a board we
are very grateful for the role that he has played leading innovation and exploration over the past
5 years and we are sure that we will continue to reap the benefits of his work for many years to
come”, Mr Tito Mboweni, AngloGold Ashanti Chairman said.

“AngloGold Ashanti has benefited greatly from having one of the mining industry’s most gifted
engineers and leaders to help guide it through a challenging operating environment,” Chief
Executive Officer Mr Srinivasan Venkatakrishnan added, “His input at every level has been
greatly valued and he will be greatly missed.”

Mr O’Neill joined AngloGold Ashanti in July 2008 with 30 years’ experience in the industry. As
Executive Vice President: Business and Technical Development where he had full accountability
for a wide global portfolio ranging from Exploration, Innovation & Improvement, Business
Development, Project Capital, Asset Management, Business Knowledge & Information
Technology, Supply Chain and Safety & Environment.

Mr O’Neill was appointed as an executive director on 20 February 2013 and as Joint Acting
Chief Executive Officer with Mr Venkatakrishnan with effect from 1 April 2013, following the
resignation of Mr Mark Cutifani as CEO on 31 March 2013. Prior to that, Mr O’Neill was
Executive Vice President: Business and Technical Development, a position he reverted to
following the appointment of Mr Venkatakrishnan as Chief Executive Officer on 8 May 2013.
