Unless Holdings redeems the notes earlier, the notes will mature on October 1, 2030. The notes will rank equally with Holdings’ existing and future senior, unsecured debt obligations and the guarantee will rank equally with all other existing and future senior, unsecured debt obligations of AngloGold Ashanti Limited. Prior to July 1, 2030, Holdings or AngloGold Ashanti Limited may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time at the “make-whole” redemption price described under the heading “Description of Notes—Optional Redemption”. On or after July 1, 2030, Holdings or AngloGold Ashanti Limited may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date, as described under “Description of Notes—Optional Redemption”. Holdings may also redeem the notes in whole, but not in part, if certain tax events occur as described in this prospectus supplement. In addition, upon the occurrence of both (i) a change of control of AngloGold Ashanti Limited and (ii) a rating downgrade of the notes by each of Fitch Ratings, Inc., Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services within a specified period, Holdings will be required to make an offer to purchase the notes at a price equal to 101% of its principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. The notes will be issued in denominations of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. We will apply to list the notes on the New York Stock Exchange.
