in the manner required by the Companies Act, 1973, as amended and to the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited

and other stock exchanges on which AngloGold Ashanti’s ordinary shares are listed.

Ordinary business

1. Ordinary resolution number 1

Adoption of financial statements

“Resolved as an ordinary resolution that the consolidated audited annual financial statements of the company and its

subsidiaries, together with the auditors’ and directors’ reports for the year ended 31 December 2009, be and are

hereby received and adopted.”

The reason for proposing ordinary resolution number 1 is to receive and adopt the consolidated annual financial

statements of the company and its subsidiaries for the 2009 financial year as contained in the annual financial

statements 2009.

2. Ordinary resolution number 2

Re-appointment of Ernst & Young Inc. as auditors of the company

“Resolved as an ordinary resolution that Ernst & Young Inc. be and are hereby appointed as the auditors of the

company from the conclusion of the annual general meeting until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting

of the company.”

The reason for proposing ordinary resolution number 2 is to re-appoint Ernst & Young Inc., which retires as

independent auditor of the company at the conclusion of this annual general meeting as the independent auditor of

the company, until the next annual general meeting of the company.

AngloGold Ashanti Notice of annual general meeting 2009

3. Ordinary resolution number 3

Re-election of Mr FB Arisman as a director

“Resolved as an ordinary resolution that Mr FB Arisman, who retires in terms of the articles of association of the

company and who is eligible and available for re-election, be and is hereby re-elected as a director of the company

until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the company.”

The reason for proposing ordinary resolution number 3 is that Mr FB Arisman retires as a director of the company

by rotation at the annual general meeting and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

Mr Arisman was appointed to the board on 1 April 1998 and the board, in assessing his eligibility for re-election after

taking due cognisance of the King Code on Corporate Governance South Africa 2009 (King III), has concluded that

despite Mr Arisman having served as a director on the board since 1998, the performance, skill and knowledge

which he brings to the board are of such a high standard and that his independence of character and judgement

are not in any way affected or impaired by the length of his service as a director. The board is, therefore, of the

opinion (and has declared) that Mr Arisman is independent.

Mr Arisman serves on four board committees and is a member of the treasury committee, a sub-committee of the

audit and corporate governance committee. Since 2008, he has chaired the financial analysis committee, a special

purpose committee of the board set up to consider the funding needs of AngloGold Ashanti from time to time.

Mr Arisman, who resides in the USA, has significant experience in management and finance, gained at JP Morgan

where he held various positions prior to his retirement.

4. Ordinary resolution number 4

Election of Prof LW Nkuhlu as a director

“Resolved as an ordinary resolution that Prof LW Nkuhlu, who retires in terms of article 92 of the articles of

association of the company and who is eligible and available for re-election, be and is hereby re-elected as a director

of the company.”

The reason for proposing ordinary resolution number 4 is that Prof Nkuhlu, having been appointed a director after the

previous annual general meeting, holds office in terms of the articles of association of the company, only until this

annual general meeting.

Prof Nkuhlu was appointed to the board on 4 August 2006 and resigned from the board on 5 May 2009 in order to

stand for political office in the South African general elections which took place in that year. Following his decision not

to pursue a political career, Prof Nkuhlu was re-appointed to the board on 1 June 2009, at which time, he

re-assumed the chairmanship of the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee. Except for the short period of

broken tenure, he has been the chairman of the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee since 5 May 2007, having

served as its deputy chairman from 4 August 2006. He also serves as a member of three other board sub-committees

and is the chairman of the Treasury Committee, a sub-committee of the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee.

Prof Nkuhlu is a respected South African academic, educationist, professional and business leader and served as

Economic Adviser to the former President of South Africa, Mr Thabo Mbeki. From 2000 to 2005, he served as

Chief Executive of the Secretariat of the New Partnership for Africa's Development .

From 1989 to 2000, he served as a director of a number of major South African companies, including The Standard

Bank of South Africa Limited, South African Breweries Limited, Old Mutual plc, Tongaat Hulett Limited, BMW (SA)

(Proprietary) Limited and JCI Limited. He is also a member of the board of Datatec Limited. He was President of the

South African Institute of Chartered Accountants from 1998 to 2000 and Principal and Vice Chancellor of the

University of Transkei from 1987 to 1991. He was elected President of the Geneva-based International Organization

of Employers in May 2008 for a period of two years. He is a member of the Financial Crisis Advisory Group of the

International Accounting Standards Board and of the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

5. Ordinary resolution number 5

Appointment of Mr FB Arisman as a member of the Audit and Corporate Governance
Committee of the company

“Resolved as an ordinary resolution that, subject to the passing of ordinary resolution number 3, Mr FB Arisman be
and is hereby appointed as a member of the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee, from the conclusion of
the annual general meeting until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the company.”

AngloGold Ashanti Annual Notice of annual general meeting 2009

6. Ordinary resolution number 6

Appointment of Prof LW Nkuhlu as a member of the Audit and Corporate Governance

Committee of the company

“Resolved as an ordinary resolution that, subject to the passing of ordinary resolution number 4, Prof LW Nkuhlu be

and is hereby appointed as a member of the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee, from the conclusion of the

annual general meeting until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the company.”

The reason for proposing ordinary resolutions numbers 5 and 6 is to appoint members of the audit and corporate

governance committee in accordance with the guidelines of King lll, which became effective on 1 March 2010 and the

requirements of the Companies Act, 2008, which is expected to become effective during 2010. In terms of the

aforementioned requirements, the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee (“Audit Committee”) should comprise of

a minimum three members, all of whom must be independent non-executive directors of the company and membership

of the Audit Committee may not include the chairman of the board. Mr RP Edey, who retires at the conclusion of this

annual general meeting, was the third member of the Audit Committee. The search for suitable candidates for

appointment to the board and the Audit Committee is underway and nominations will be considered in due course.

In terms of the requirements of the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the board is required to identify a financial expert from within

its ranks for appointment to the Audit Committee. The board has resolved that Prof Nkuhlu is the board’s financial expert.

The CVs of both Mr Arisman and Prof. Nkuhlu are disclosed in relation to ordinary resolutions numbers 3 and 4.

7. Ordinary resolution number 7

General authority to directors to allot and issue ordinary shares

“Resolved as an ordinary resolution that, subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, 1973, as amended, the

Companies Act, 2008 and the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, from time to time, the directors of the

company be and are hereby, as a general authority and approval, authorised to allot and issue, for such purposes and

on such term as they may, in their discretion, determine, ordinary shares of R0.25 each in the authorised but unissued

share capital of the company, up to a maximum of 5% of the number of ordinary shares of R0.25 each in issue from

time to time.”

The reason for proposing ordinary resolution number 7 is to seek a general authority and approval for the directors of the

company to allot and issue ordinary shares, up to a maximum of 5% of the ordinary shares of the company in issue from

time to time, in order to enable the company to take advantage of business opportunities which might arise in the future.

8. Ordinary resolution number 8

General authority to directors to issue for cash, those ordinary shares placed under the

control of the directors in terms of ordinary resolution number 7

“Resolved as an ordinary resolution that, subject to ordinary resolution number 7 being passed, the directors of the

company be and are hereby authorised, in accordance with the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited (“JSE

Listings Requirements”) to allot and issue for cash, on such terms and conditions as they may deem fit, all or any of

the ordinary shares of R0.25 each (“ordinary shares”) in the authorised but unissued share capital of the company

which they shall have been authorised to allot and issue in terms of ordinary resolution number 7, subject to the

following conditions:

•

this authority shall be limited to a maximum number of 5% of the number of ordinary shares in the issued share

capital of the company from time to time;

•

this authority shall only be valid until the next annual general meeting of the company but shall not extend beyond

15 months;

•

a paid press announcement giving full details, including the impact on net asset value and earnings per share of the

company, shall be published after any issue representing, on a cumulative basis within one financial year, 5% of the

number of ordinary shares in issue prior to the issue concerned;

•

in determining the price at which an issue of ordinary shares for cash will be made in terms of this authority, the maximum

discount permitted shall be 10% of the weighted average traded price of the ordinary shares on the JSE Limited

(adjusted for any dividend declared but not yet paid or for any capitalisation award made to shareholders), over the 30

business days prior to the date that the price of the issue is determined or agreed by the directors of the company; and

•

any issues of ordinary shares under this authority shall be made only to a public shareholder as defined in the JSE

Listings Requirements”

AngloGold Ashanti Notice of annual general meeting 2009

The reason for proposing ordinary resolution number 8 is that the directors of the company consider it advantageous

to have the authority to issue ordinary shares for cash in order to enable the company to take advantage of any

business opportunity which might arise in the future.

It should be noted that this authority relates only to those ordinary shares which are placed under the control of the

directors in terms of ordinary resolution number 7 and the authority is not intended to (nor does it) grant the directors

authority to issue ordinary shares over and above, and in addition to, the ordinary shares which are placed under the

control of the directors in terms of ordinary resolution number 7.

In terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, a 75% majority of the votes cast by shareholders present

in person or represented by proxy at the annual general meeting is required for the approval of ordinary resolution

number 8.

Special business

9. Ordinary resolution number 9

General authority to the directors to issue convertible bonds

“Resolved as an ordinary resolution that, subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, 1973, as amended, the

Companies Act, 2008 and the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited from time to time, the directors of the

company be and are hereby, as a general authority and approval:

1. authorised to issue, upon such terms and conditions as the directors, in their discretion may deem fit, such number

of convertible bonds which may be converted into a maximum, in the aggregate, of 5% of the ordinary shares of

R0.25 each in the issued share capital of the company from time to time; or

2. authorised to procure the issue by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, upon such terms and conditions as

the directors in their discretion may deem fit, such number of convertible bonds, guaranteed by the company and

which may be converted into a maximum, in the aggregate, of 5% of the ordinary shares of R0.25 each in the

issued share capital of the company from time to time.”

Once the terms and conditions of the proposed issue of convertible bonds have been finalised, shareholders will be

requested to consider granting a specific authority and approval to the directors authorising them to issue a maximum, in

the aggregate, of 5% of the ordinary shares of R0.25 each, in the issued share capital of the company, in satisfaction of

the conversion rights which will attach to the convertible bonds.

The reason for proposing ordinary resolution number 9 is that the company utilises debt as part of its capital structure

financing strategy. There are several debt markets which the company can potentially access in order to secure this

debt funding, including, but not limited to, corporate bonds, convertible bonds, bank borrowings, etc. As has been

witnessed in the recent past, these markets experience considerable volatility in pricing and availability depending on

the prevailing market conditions. On two previous occasions the company has successfully accessed the convertible

debt market on attractive terms in order to fulfil a portion of its debt capital needs. Should other debt markets not be

offering debt finance at reasonable costs and in order to provide the company with flexibility and the ability to execute

speedily, the company is seeking authority from shareholders to again access the convertible debt markets to finance

or re-finance its debt requirements.

This authority will allow the company to undertake the issue of a bond, convertible into such number of ordinary

shares, up to a maximum, in the aggregate, of 5% of the ordinary shares in the issued share capital of the company

from time to time, as may be required to meet the conversion rights of bondholders in terms of the convertible bond,

following the finalisation of the terms of the convertible bond, subject to the specific authority referred to above,

being granted.

In terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, a 75% majority of the votes cast by shareholders present

in person or represented by proxy at the annual general meeting is required for the approval of ordinary resolution

number 9.

AngloGold Ashanti Annual Notice of annual general meeting 2009

10. Ordinary resolution number 10

Increase in non-executive directors’ fees

“Resolved as an ordinary resolution that, in terms of article 73 of the company’s articles of association, the

remuneration, payable quarterly in arrear, to the non-executive directors of the company, be increased with effect from

1 June 2010 on the basis set out below:

10.1 Non-executive directors' fees for six board meetings per annum

10.1

10.1.4

Non-South African resident directors who are resident in Africa

US$33,750

10.1.5

Non-South African resident directors who are resident in jurisdictions
other than Africa

US$40,000

US$60,000 ”

The remuneration payable in terms of 10.1 above will be in proportion to the period during which the offices of director,

chairman or deputy chairman, as the case may be, have been held during the year.

10.2 Allowance for attendance by non-executive directors at additional board meetings

Each non-executive director will be entitled to an allowance for each board meeting attended by such director in

addition to the six scheduled board meetings per annum, as follows:

10.2

Board

Current fee Increased fee

per meeting

10.2.1

Chairman

US$9,000

R78,000

10.2.2

Deputy Chairman

R32,400

10.2.3

South African resident directors

R12,500

10.2.4

Non-South African resident directors who are resident in Africa

US$1,250

US$2,000

10.2.5

Non-South African resident directors who are resident in jurisdictions
other than Africa

US$2,000

US$3,000

The reason for proposing ordinary resolution number 10 is to ensure that the remuneration of non-executive directors

remains competitive so as to enable the company to attract and retain persons of the calibre required in order to make

meaningful contributions to the company given its global spread and growth aspirations and having regard to the

appropriate capability, skills and experience required. The increases proposed above are higher than the prevailing

rate of inflation. However, as indicated below, a recent benchmarking exercise has indicated that the current levels of

non-executive directors’ fees remain well below the lower quartile of the comparator group, particularly when

considering market practice outside South Africa. The requirement of competing in the global market and compliance

with increasingly onerous and complex international governance and regulatory requirements, requires flexibility to

attract non-executive directors of international standing. The above proposal falls short of recognising the global

responsibility that the directors share for the governance of the group, which has businesses in diverse jurisdictions,

but it at least reflects market practice in the directors’ regions of residence.

In arriving at the proposals set out in ordinary resolution number 10, the Chief Executive Officer, in consultation with

the Chairman and with the Executive Vice President – Human Resources of the company, directed

PricewaterhouseCoopers to review non-executive director fees for comparable South African companies operating

internationally and international companies. The results of the review indicated that the remuneration paid to the

non-executive directors of the company was, with respect to the South African comparative peer group, in the upper

quartile, and with respect to the international comparative peer group below the lower quartile. The proposals are

based on adjusting the fee levels for non-executive directors to the median of the applicable market – using South

African market data for the South African resident non-executive directors and market data from North America, the

UK and Australia for non-resident directors outside Africa. The fees for non-resident non-executive directors residing

in Africa (but not in South Africa) have been set to a similar level to those directors resident in South Africa.

AngloGold Ashanti Notice of annual general meeting 2009

The Remuneration Committee, having taken due consideration of the review, recommends for approval by the

shareholders, the remuneration for the Chairman as detailed above, while the Chairman, together with the Chief

Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, recommend for approval by the shareholders, the remuneration for the

non-executive directors, as detailed above. The changes as reflected above, represent the mid-point of remuneration

payable to the comparable group. Prior to these proposed changes, the remuneration of directors has been unchanged

since the annual general meeting held in May 2009.

In light of all of these factors, the proposed revised remuneration structure set out in ordinary resolution number 10 is

considered to be fair and reasonable and in the best interests of the company.

Executive directors do not receive payment of directors' fees.

The Chairman, Deputy Chairman and non-executive directors have undertaken not to cast any votes in respect of

ordinary resolution number 10, and the company will disregard the votes cast by

•

the Chairman, Deputy Chairman, and non-executive directors; and

•

an associate of that person or group of persons stated above

in respect of ordinary resolution number 10.

However, the company will not disregard a vote if it is cast by

•

a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote in accordance with the directions on the form of proxy; or

•

the person chairing the annual general meeting as a proxy of a person who is entitled to vote in accordance with a

direction on the form of proxy to vote as the proxy decides

in respect of ordinary resolution number 10.

11. Ordinary resolution number 11

committees of the board which meet on an ad hoc basis

The reason for proposing ordinary resolution number 11 is the same as that for proposing ordinary resolution number 10.

The proposed revised remuneration structure set out in ordinary resolution number 11 is considered to be fair and
reasonable and in the best interests of the company.

Executive directors do not receive payment of directors' fees.

The Chairman, Deputy Chairman and non-executive directors have undertaken not to cast any votes in respect of
ordinary resolution number 11, and the company will disregard the votes cast by

•

the Chairman, Deputy Chairman, and non-executive directors; and

•

an associate of that person or group of persons stated above

in respect of ordinary resolution number 11.

However, the company will not disregard a vote if it is cast by

•

a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote in accordance with the directions on the form of proxy; or

•

the person chairing the annual general meeting as a proxy of a person who is entitled to vote in accordance with a
direction on the form of proxy to vote as the proxy decides

in respect of ordinary resolution number 11.

12. Ordinary resolution number 12

Amendments to the AngloGold Limited Share Incentive scheme

“Resolved as an ordinary resolution that the amendments to the AngloGold Limited Share Incentive Scheme, as
reflected in the conformed copy thereof tabled at the annual general meeting and initialled by the Chairman of such
meeting for the purposes of identification, be and they are hereby approved.”

13. Ordinary resolution number 13

Amendments to the AngloGold Ashanti Limited Long Term Incentive Plan 2005

“Resolved as an ordinary resolution that the amendments to the AngloGold Ashanti Limited Long Term Incentive Plan
2005, as reflected in the conformed copy thereof tabled at the annual general meeting and initialled by the Chairman
of such meeting for the purposes of identification, be and they are hereby approved.”

as reflected in the conformed copy thereof tabled at the annual general meeting and initialled by the Chairman of such
meeting for the purposes of identification, be and they are hereby approved.”

The reason for proposing ordinary resolutions numbers 12, 13 and 14 is to approve the amendments to the
AngloGold Ashanti Limited Share Incentive Scheme, the AngloGold Ashanti Limited Long-Term Incentive Plan 2005
and the AngloGold Ashanti Limited Bonus Share Plan 2005 (collectively the “Schemes”), required to ensure
compliance with the revised Schedule 14 to the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited (which deals with
incentive schemes).

AngloGold Ashanti Notice of annual general meeting 2009

Copies of the conformed copies of the Schemes on which the proposed amendments have been marked up, are
available for inspection during normal business hours from 29 March 2010 to 7 May 2010 at the company’s corporate
office, 76 Jeppe Street, Newtown, Johannesburg, South Africa and at the offices of the share registrars.

The salient features of the proposed amendments are as follows:

•

Share plan limits and use of shares - shareholder approval is required to amend the total number of shares
attributable to the Schemes from 2.75% of issued share capital from time to time, to a fixed number of shares that
may be issued under the Schemes. A similar amendment will be made insofar as the individual limit is concerned.

•

Also effective 15 October 2008, the recycling of options/awards that have vested and been delivered and for which
AngloGold Ashanti shares have been issued, is no longer allowed in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements and
the Schemes will be amended to reflect this.

•

All resolutions pertaining to the Schemes requiring shareholder approval will now have to be approved by 75% of
all shareholders voting on the resolution. Previously, 50% of all votes cast had to be in favour.

•

As decided by shareholders, no further options/awards may be granted pursuant to the AngloGold Limited Share
Incentive Scheme.

•

Basis of awards – a provision is included which summarises the basis upon which awards are made.

•

Non-executive directors – a provision is inserted to the effect that non-executive directors of the company are not
eligible to participate in the Schemes;

•

Shareholder rights - a provision is inserted to the effect that shareholder rights are acquired only on the vesting or
exercise of an award.

•

Removal of discretion – the discretion afforded to the board in a number of instances, specifically in respect of:

• its ability to waive or amend the performance condition stipulated;

• the determination of rights on termination of employment; and

• the determination of rights on a change of control.

•

Variation of share capital – the provisions relating to a variation of share capital so as to provide that any adjustments

made must give a participant an entitlement to the same proportion of equity capital as that to which he was

previously entitled have been amended. In addition, reference is made to various procedures which need to be

followed where awards are adjusted in these circumstances.

•

Market purchase of shares – a specific provision permitting the company to purchase shares on the market in order

to satisfy awards has been inserted.

•

Miscellaneous - cross references to certain provisions included in the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited,

which are mainly of an administrative nature, have been inserted.

15. Ordinary resolution number 15

Specific authority to the directors to issue ordinary shares for the purposes of the

incentive schemes adopted by the company from time to time

“Resolved as an ordinary resolution that, subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, 1973, as amended, the
Companies Act, 2008 and the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, from time to time, 17,000,000 ordinary
shares of R0.25 each in the authorised but unissued share capital of the company be and they are placed under the
control of the directors as a specific authority and instruction to issue such shares in accordance with the provisions
of any incentive schemes adopted by the company from time to time, including, but not limited to, the AngloGold
Ashanti Limited Share Incentive Scheme, the AngloGold Ashanti Limited Long Term Incentive Plan 2005 and the
AngloGold Ashanti Limited Bonus Share Plan 2005, such specific authority and instruction superseding any prior
specific authorities and instructions granted to the directors of the company to issue shares for the purposes of any
incentive schemes adopted by the company.”

The reason for proposing ordinary resolution number 15 is to place 17,000,000 ordinary shares of R0.25 each in the

authorised but unissued share capital of the company (approximately 5% of the issued ordinary share capital of the

company as at 31 December 2009) under the control of the directors of the company as a specific authority and instruction

to the directors to issue such shares for the purposes of any incentive schemes which may be adopted by the company

from time to time. This revised authority is required in order to ensure compliance with the amended provisions of Schedule

14 of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited.

16. Non-binding advisory resolution number 16

Approval of the AngloGold Ashanti remuneration policy

“Resolved as an ordinary resolution that the remuneration policy of the company as set out below be and is approved
as a non-binding advisory vote of shareholders of the company in terms of the King Report on Corporate Governance
for South Africa 2009:

AngloGold Ashanti Annual Notice of annual general meeting 2009

The Remuneration Committee sets and monitors executive remuneration for the company, in line with the executive

remuneration policy. This policy has as its objectives to:

•

attract, reward and retain executives of the highest calibre;

•

align the behaviour and performance of executives with the company's strategic goals, in the overall interests of

shareholders;

•

ensure the appropriate balance between short-, medium- and long-term rewards and incentives, with the latter

being closely linked to structured company performance targets and strategic objectives that are in place from time

to time; and

•

ensure that regional management is competitively rewarded within a global remuneration policy, which recognises

both local and global market practice.

The company aims to be the leading gold mining company in the medium-term and the leading mining company in

the long-term. In order to achieve this, the company must be in a position to attract the best talent available in the

industry and its remuneration packages must therefore be comparable to those of the leading mining companies

globally. The remuneration policy is devised to support this business strategy.

In particular the Remuneration Committee is responsible for:

•

the remuneration packages for executive directors and other members of the executive committee of the company

including, but not limited to, basic salary, performance-based short- and long-term incentives, pensions, and other

benefits; and

•

the design and operation of the company's executive share option and other incentive schemes.

The following principles are applied to give effect to the remuneration policy and to determine executive remuneration:

•

To attract, reward and retain executives of the highest calibre, executive remuneration is benchmarked against a

comparator group of global and selected South African mining and multi-national companies. The most recent

benchmarking exercise conducted by independent consultants indicates that the total remuneration of the executive

directors is close to the median of the comparator group, but the remuneration of the Executive Vice Presidents

(“EVPs”) lags that of the peer group. Specific cash-based retention plans (settled after a three year period) have been

put in place to address this issue. However, a systemic adjustment of the remuneration levels for executives and senior

management is required to ensure that the company’s remuneration levels are consistent with global pay levels, and

that the company can compete effectively in the global market.

•

To ensure the appropriate balance between short-, medium- and long-term incentives, annual remuneration is a

combination of base pay and short and long-term incentives, with salary comprising about 35% - 45% of annual

remuneration if the AngloGold Ashanti Limited Bonus Share Plan 2005 (“BSP”) and the AngloGold Ashanti Limited

Long Term Incentive Plan 2005 (“LTIP”) targets are achieved.

•

To align the behaviour and performance of executives with the company’s strategic goals, all incentive plans align

performance targets with shareholder interests. The quantum of the short-term incentive and the related BSP shares

are determined with respect to current performance, while the vesting of the LTIP awards is determined with respect

to company performance over the three years following the date of grant.

During 2009, the key remuneration decisions taken were as follows:

•

In 2009 the chief executive officer’s initial two year contract was replaced by a contract with a twelve-month notice period

and his remuneration package was restructured in accordance with conditions of employment for permanent employees.

•

The chief financial officer’s offshore payment was increased to cater for tax payable on this amount from 1 April 2009.

As a result of the benchmarking exercise mentioned above, adjustments in excess of the South African inflationary

increases were made to close the gap between the EVP basic salaries and the comparator group median. The

outcome of this review, as it affects EVP basic salaries, is explained in the Annual Financial Statements 2009, a copy

of which is available on the company’s website on www.anglogoldashanti.com.”

The reason for proposing ordinary resolution number 16 as a non-binding advisory resolution is to take cognisance

of the requirements of the King Report on Corporate Governance for South Africa 2009 in order to enable

shareholders to express their views on the remuneration policies adopted by the company and their implementation.

AngloGold Ashanti Notice of annual general meeting 2009

17. Special resolution

Acquisition of company’s own shares

“Resolved as a special resolution that the acquisition in terms of the Companies Act, 1973, as amended, (“Existing
Companies Act”), the Companies Act, 2008 (“New Companies Act”) and the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited
by the company of ordinary shares issued by the company, and the acquisition in terms of the Existing Companies
Act, the New Companies Act and the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, by any of the company’s subsidiaries,
from time to time, of ordinary shares issued by the company, is hereby approved as a general approval, provided that:

•

any such acquisition of shares shall be implemented through the order book operated by the JSE Limited trading

system and done without any prior understanding or arrangement between the company and the counter party;

and/or on the open market of any other stock exchange on which the shares are listed or may be listed and on

which the company may, subject to the approval of the JSE Limited and any other stock exchange as necessary,

wish to effect such acquisition of shares;

•

this approval shall be valid only until the next annual general meeting of the company, or for 15 months from the

date of this resolution, whichever period is shorter;

•

an announcement containing details of such acquisitions will be published as soon as the company, or the

subsidiaries collectively, shall have acquired ordinary shares issued by the company constituting, on a cumulative

basis, not less than 3% of the number of ordinary shares in the company in issue as at the date of this approval;

and an announcement containing details of such acquisitions will be published in respect of each subsequent

acquisition by either the company, or by the subsidiaries collectively, as the case may be, of ordinary shares issued

by the company, constituting, on a cumulative basis, not less than 3% of the number of ordinary shares in the

company in issue as at the date of this approval;

•

the company, and its subsidiaries collectively, shall not in any financial year be entitled to acquire ordinary shares

issued by the company constituting, on a cumulative basis, more than 5% of the number of ordinary shares in the

company in issue as at the date of this approval;

•

shares issued by the company may not be acquired at a price greater than 10% above the weighted average market

price of the company’s shares for the five business days immediately preceding the date of the acquisition.”

The reason for this special resolution is to grant the directors of the company a general authority for the acquisition

of the company’s ordinary shares by the company, or by a subsidiary or subsidiaries of the company.

The effect of this special resolution, if passed and becoming effective will be to authorise the directors of the company

to procure that the company or any of its subsidiaries may purchase ordinary shares issued by the company on the

JSE Limited or any other stock exchange on which the company’s shares are or may be listed.

The directors will ensure at the time of the commencement of any repurchases, after considering the effect of

repurchases, up to the maximum limit, of the company’s issued ordinary shares, that they are of the opinion that if

such repurchases were implemented:

•

the company and the group would be able in the ordinary course of business to pay its debts for a period of 12
months after the date of the notice issued in respect of the annual general meeting;

•

the assets of the company and the group would be in excess of the liabilities of the company and the group for a
period of 12 months after the date of the notice issued in respect of the annual general meeting. For this purpose,
the assets and liabilities would be recognised and measured in accordance with the accounting policies used in the
latest audited group annual financial statements;

•

the ordinary capital and reserves of the company and the group would be adequate for a period of 12 months after
the date of the notice issued in respect of the annual general meeting; and

•

the working capital of the company and the group would be adequate for a period of 12 months after the date of
the notice issued in respect of the annual general meeting.

At the present time the directors have no specific intention with regard to the utilisation of this authority which will only

be used if the circumstances are appropriate.

The company will ensure that its sponsor provides the necessary sponsor letter on the adequacy of the working capital

in terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited prior to the commencement of any purchases of the

company’s shares on the open market.
