These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may
cause the AngloGold Ashanti's actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from the
anticipated results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Although AngloGold Ashanti believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are
reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct.
For a discussion of such risk factors, shareholders should refer to the annual report on Form 20-F for the year
ended 31 December 2007, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on 19 May 2008.
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.
In connection with the proposed merger transaction involving AngloGold Ashanti and Golden Cycle Gold
Corporation, AngloGold Ashanti has filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-4 and GCGC will mail
a proxy statement/prospectus to its stockholders, and each will be filing other documents regarding the
proposed transaction with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as well. BEFORE MAKING
ANY VOTING OR INVESTMENT DECISION, INVESTORS ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY
STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS REGARDING THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT
DOCUMENTS CAREFULLY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION. The final proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed
to GCGC’s stockholders. Stockholders will be able to obtain a free copy of the proxy statement/prospectus, as
well as other filings containing information about AngloGold Ashanti and GCGC, without charge, at the SEC’s
Internet site (http://www.sec.gov). Copies of the proxy statement/prospectus and the filings with the SEC that
will be incorporated by reference in the proxy statement/prospectus can also be obtained, without charge, by
