NEWS RELEASE
AWARD OF SHARE OPTIONS TO EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI PLC
On 23 February 2026, AngloGold Ashanti plc (the “Company”) (NYSE: AU; JSE: ANG) granted conditional awards over shares in the Company under the 2024 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”), consisting of Performance Stock Unit (“PSU”), Restricted Stock Unit ("RSU") and Transition share awards.
The PSUs are due to vest in 2029 following a three-year performance period, based on achievement of the applicable performance criteria. The RSUs will vest in three equal tranches over a three-year period. The Transition share awards are based on a three-year backward-looking performance period ended 31 December 2025 and will vest in 2029 for Executive Directors and in 2028 for other Executive Officers. This is the final set of Transition share awards, which were granted to facilitate the transition from the legacy backward-looking incentive compensation plan to the current forward-looking plan.
