Notes
- Shareholders on the UK register of members with an address in the UK will be paid in Sterling and those with an address in a country in the European Union which has adopted the Euro will be paid in Euros. Such shareholders may, however, elect to be paid their dividends in US dollars provided the UK Registrars receive such election by Friday, 11 April 2025. Shareholders with an address elsewhere will be paid in US dollars except those registered on the South African branch register who will be paid in South African rand and those registered on the Botswanan branch register who will be paid in Botswanan Pula.
- Dividend Tax will be withheld from the amount of the gross dividend of 403.89360 Rand cents per ordinary share paid to South African shareholders at the rate of 20% unless a shareholder qualifies for exemption. After the Dividend Tax has been withheld, the net dividend will be 323.11488 Rand cents per ordinary share. Anglo American plc had a total of 1,337,577,913 ordinary shares in issue as at Wednesday, 19 February 2025. In South Africa the dividend will be distributed by Anglo American South Africa Proprietary Limited, a South African company with tax registration number 9030010608, or one of its South African subsidiaries, in accordance with the Company’s dividend access share arrangements. The dividend in South African rand is based on an exchange rate of USD1:ZAR18.35880 taken on Wednesday, 19 February 2025, being the currency conversion date.
- The dividend in Botswanan Pula is based on an exchange rate of USD1:BWP13.79310 taken on Wednesday, 19 February 2025, being the currency conversion date.
- Dematerialisation and rematerialisation of registered share certificates in South Africa will not be effected by CSDPs during the period from the JSE ex‑dividend date to the record date (both days inclusive).
- Those shareholders who already participate in the DRIP need not complete a DRIP mandate form for each dividend as such forms provide an ongoing authority to participate in the DRIP until cancelled in writing. Shareholders who wish to participate in the DRIP should obtain a mandate form from the UK Registrars, the South African Transfer Secretaries or, in the case of those who hold their shares through the STRATE system, their CSDP.
- In terms of the DRIP, and subject to the purchase of shares in the open market, share certificates/CREST notifications are expected to be mailed and CSDP investor accounts credited/updated on or around Wednesday, 21 May 2025. CREST accounts will be credited on Monday, 12 May 2025.
- Copies of the terms and conditions of the DRIP provided by Equiniti Financial Services Limited are available from the UK Registrars at www.shareview.co.uk/info/drip or the South African Transfer Secretaries for the South African Branch Register DRIP.
- The US$:£/€ conversion rates will be determined by the actual rates achieved by Anglo American buying forward contracts for those currencies, during the three days preceding the announcement of the conversion rates, for delivery on the dividend payment date.
