These<br>forward-looking statements or forecasts are not limited to historical facts, but rather reflect our current beliefs and expectations<br>concerning future events and generally may be identified by the use of forward-looking words, phrases and expressions such as<br>\u201cbelieve\u201d, \u201cexpect\u201d, \u201caim\u201d, \u201canticipate\u201d, \u201cintend\u201d, \u201cforesee\u201d, \u201cforecast\u201d, \u201cpredict\u201d, \u201cproject\u201d, \u201cestimate\u201d, \u201clikely\u201d, \u201cmay\u201d, \u201cmight\u201d, \u201ccould\u201d,<br>\u201cshould\u201d, \u201cwould\u201d, \u201cseek\u201d, \u201cplan\u201d, \u201cscheduled\u201d, \u201cpossible\u201d, \u201ccontinue\u201d, \u201cpotential\u201d, \u201coutlook\u201d, \u201ctarget\u201d or other similar words, phrases,<br>and expressions; provided that the absence thereof does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Similarly, statements<br>that describe our objectives, plans or goals are or may be forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements or<br>forecasts involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause AngloGold Ashanti\u2019s actual results,<br>performance, actions or achievements to differ materially from the anticipated results, performance, actions or achievements<br>expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. Although AngloGold Ashanti believes that the expectations reflected in<br>such forward-looking statements and forecasts are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to<br>have been correct. Accordingly, results, performance, actions or achievements could differ materially from those set out in the<br>forward-looking statements as a result of, among other factors, changes in economic, social, political and market conditions,<br>including related to inflation or international conflicts, the success of business and operating initiatives, changes in the regulatory<br>environment and other government actions, including environmental approvals, fluctuations in gold prices and exchange rates, the<br>outcome of pending or future litigation proceedings, any supply chain disruptions, any public health crises, pandemics or epidemics<br>(including the COVID-19 pandemic), the failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or effective disclosure<br>controls and procedures, the inability to remediate one or more material weaknesses, or the discovery of additional material<br>weaknesses, in the Company\u2019s internal control over financial reporting, and other business and operational risks and challenges<br>and other factors, including mining accidents. For a discussion of such risk factors, refer to AngloGold Ashanti\u2019s annual report on<br>Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2023 to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (\u201cSEC\u201d).<br>These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause AngloGold Ashanti\u2019s actual results, performance,<br>actions or achievements to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Other unknown or<br>unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on AngloGold Ashanti\u2019s future results, performance, actions or<br>achievements. Consequently, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. AngloGold Ashanti<br>undertakes no obligation to update publicly or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or<br>circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the extent required by applicable<br>law.
