Award of Share Options to Executive Directors and Executive Officers of AngloGold Ashanti plc
On 27 August 2024, the Company granted conditional awards over shares in the Company under the Deferred Share Plan (the "DSP") and the 2024 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Omnibus Plan"), to facilitate the transition from the backward-looking DSP to a forward-looking Performance Share Plan (the "PSP") under the Omnibus Plan. The award of these grants was delayed from 26 February 2024, the date they would have been granted in the ordinary course, to enable the Company to complete implementation of the new incentive structure following shareholder approval of the Omnibus Plan at the Annual General Meeting of shareholders on 28 May 2024. To ensure recipients of the grants were neither advantaged nor disadvantaged by the change in the Company's stock price between 26 February 2024 and the grant date, the Company determined the number of awards granted to recipients as it would have done in the ordinary course, using the five-day trailing Volume-Weighted Average Share Price ("VWAP") to 26 February 2024.

Post the notification of the grant the Executive Directors and Executive Officers have 30 days in which to accept or decline their awards, with a default acceptance at the end of the 30-day period.
