Certain statements contained in this document, other than statements of historical fact, including, without limitation, those concerning
the economic outlook for the gold mining industry, expectations regarding gold prices, production, cash costs, cost savings and other
operating results, return on equity, productivity improvements, growth prospects and outlook of AngloGold Ashanti’s operations, individually
or in the aggregate, including the achievement of project milestones, commencement and completion of commercial operations of certain of
AngloGold Ashanti’s exploration and production projects and the completion of acquisitions and dispositions, AngloGold Ashanti’s liquidity and
capital resources and capital expenditures and the outcome and consequence of any potential or pending litigation or regulatory proceedings
or environmental, health and safety issues, are forward-looking statements regarding AngloGold Ashanti’s operations, economic performance
and financial condition. These forward-looking statements or forecasts involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
that may cause AngloGold Ashanti’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from the anticipated results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. Although AngloGold Ashanti believes that the
expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements and forecasts are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will
prove to have been correct. Accordingly, results could differ materially from those set out in the forward-looking statements as a result of, among
other factors, changes in economic, social and political and market conditions, the success of business and operating initiatives, changes in
the regulatory environment and other government actions, including environmental approvals and requirements, fluctuations in gold prices and
exchange rates, the outcome of pending or future litigation proceedings, and business and operational risk management.
For a discussion of such risk factors, refer to the prospectus supplement to AngloGold Ashanti’s prospectus dated 17 July 2012 that was filed
with the United States SEC on 26 July 2013 and to our annual reports on Form 20-F and any prospectus supplement filed with the United
States SEC subsequent to the date of this notice. These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause AngloGold
Ashanti’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors
could also have material adverse effects on future results. Consequently, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. AngloGold Ashanti undertakes no obligation to update publicly or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect
events or circumstances after the date of this Integrated Report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the extent required
by applicable law. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to AngloGold Ashanti or any person acting on its behalf
are qualified by the cautionary statements herein. This communication may contain certain “Non-GAAP” financial measures. AngloGold Ashanti
utilises certain Non-GAAP performance measures and ratios in managing its business. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition
to, and not as an alternative for, the reported operating results or cash flow from operations or any other measures of performance prepared in
accordance with IFRS. In addition, the presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures other companies may
use. AngloGold Ashanti posts information that is important to investors on the main page of its website at www.anglogoldashanti.com and under
