NEWS RELEASE

DEALING IN SECURITIES BY AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI LIMITED

In terms of JSE Listings Requirement 3.63, AngloGold Ashanti gives notice that an executive director has
dealt in ordinary shares of the Company, after having received clearance to do so in terms of JSE Listings
Requirement 3.66.

The resignation of AngloGold Ashanti Chief Executive Officer Mr Srinivasan Venkatakrishnan was
announced on 16 April 2018, as well as his intention to remain in his role until 30 August 2018. In terms of
the rules of the AngloGold Ashanti share incentive plans, all share awards granted to an employee lapse if
not exercised by the date of the employee's departure from the company.

During 2014 and 2015, Mr Venkatakrishnan opted to convert his 2013 cash retention bonus and 2014 Bonus
Share Plan cash bonus on a pre-tax basis into AngloGold Ashanti shares which resulted in the conversion of
118,428 AngloGold Ashanti shares. These shares were restricted until retirement, or resignation, or
termination of employment, or any corporate activity resulting in a change of control or death, whichever
came first ("the Restricted Shares"). As Mr Venkatakrishnan has now resigned the restriction has been lifted

and he is able to take ownership of the Restricted Shares. A portion of the Restricted Shares has been sold
to cover the tax liability as detailed below.

In advance of his scheduled departure from AngloGold Ashanti, Mr Venkatakrishnan has, therefore, opted
to:

●    exercise all categories of vested share awards granted to him since 2010

(499,469 AngloGold Ashanti shares); and

●    sell sufficient AngloGold Ashanti shares to cover his tax costs in respect of the exercise of the Vested

Share Awards and the Restricted Shares (279,073 AngloGold Ashanti shares)

AngloGold Ashanti shares (including the balance of the Restricted Shares after the disposal to settle the
relevant tax costs and AngloGold Ashanti shares held in his personal portfolio), which he will continue to
own as an investment. Mr Venkatakrishnan will forfeit all share awards that have not yet vested.
