Dividend policy Dividends are proposed by and approved by the board of directors of AngloGold Ashanti, based on the company s financial performance. Dividends are recognised when declared by the board of directors of AngloGold Ashanti. During the third quarter of 2011, the company changed the timing of dividend payments to quarterly rather than half-yearly. AngloGold Ashanti expects to continue to pay dividends, although there can be no assurance that dividends will be paid in the future or as to the particular amounts that will be paid from year to year. The payment of future dividends will depend upon the board s ongoing assessment of AngloGold Ashanti s earnings, after providing for long-term growth, cash/debt resources, compliance with the solvency and liquidity requirements of the Companies Act of 2008 (as amended), the amount of reserves available for dividend, based on the going-concern assessment, and restrictions placed by the conditions of the convertible bonds, other debt facilities, protection of the investment grade rating and other factors. Withholding tax On 1 April 2012, the South African government imposed a 15% withholding tax on dividends and other distributions payable to. This withholding tax replaces the Secondary Tax on Companies and although this may reduce the tax payable by AngloGold Ashanti s South African operations, thereby potentially increasing distributable earnings, the withholding tax on dividends and other distributions will generally reduce the amount of dividends or other distributions received by AngloGold Ashanti, subject to certain exceptions.
