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.
