AngloGold Ashanti Limited (“AngloGold Ashanti”) is pleased to note the announcement by Anglo American plc (“Anglo American”) that Anglo American has completed an offering of 67.1 million ordinary shares of AngloGold Ashanti in the form of ordinary shares and American Depositary Shares (“ADS”) priced at US$44.00 per ADS (US$44.11 inclusive of uncertificated securities tax) and ZAR300.61 per ordinary share (exclusive of uncertificated securities tax). The offering, which was launched on 1 October 2007, was increased from the earlier announced 61 million ordinary shares. The offering price represents discounts of 6.16% and 7.84% to the closing prices of our ADSs and ordinary shares in New York and Johannesburg respectively on Friday, 28 September 2007. The offering is scheduled to settle on 9 October 2007.

After the completion of the offering, Anglo American's holding in AngloGold Ashanti will be 17.3%. Consequently, as this shareholding is less than the 20% threshold as previously announced, the representatives of Anglo American remaining on the AngloGold Ashanti board of directors intend to resign from AngloGold Ashanti’s board upon settlement of the offering.

Goldman Sachs International acted as the global coordinator for the offering and Goldman Sachs International and UBS Investment Bank were joint bookrunners for the offering.

A final prospectus supplement for the offering will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as possible. Copies of the final prospectus supplement may be obtained from the offices of Goldman Sachs International, Peterborough Court, 133 Fleet Street, London EC4A 2BB, United Kingdom, telephone: +44 20 7774 1000 or UBS Limited, 1 Finsbury Avenue, London EC2M 2PP, United Kingdom, telephone: +44 20 7567 8000.
