Item 4. Description of Securities.

Not applicable.


Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not applicable.


Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Memorandum of Incorporation of the Registrant provides that, subject to the provisions of the South African Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008, as amended (the “SA Companies Act 2008”), the Registrant shall indemnify its directors, prescribed officers, secretaries, the members of its board committees and the members of its audit committee (collectively, the “Relevant Officers”) against all costs, charges, losses, expenses and liability that they may incur or attaching to such Relevant Officers in connection with: (i) any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust by such Relevant Officers in relation to the Registrant (or any member of the Registrant group) other than any liability to the Registrant (or any member of the Registrant group); and (ii) their duties, powers or office, including in connection with the activities of the Registrant if they are trustees of an occupational pension scheme.

Under the SA Companies Act 2008, a company may not indemnify a director, including any former director, alternate director, prescribed officer, or any person who is a member of a committee of the board of such company or the audit committee of such company (each a “director” for the purposes of Section 78 of the SA Companies Act 2008), in respect of any liability for any loss, damages or costs sustained by a company as a direct or indirect consequence of:


the director having acted in the name of the company, signed anything on behalf of the company, or purported to bind the company or authorize the taking of any action by or on behalf of the company, despite knowing that he or she lacked the authority to do so;


the director having acquiesced in the carrying on of the company’s business despite knowing that it was being conducted recklessly, with gross negligence, with intent to defraud any person or for any fraudulent purposes;


the director having been a party to an act or omission by the company despite knowing that the act or omission was calculated to defraud a creditor, employee or shareholder of the company, or had another fraudulent purpose; or


wilful misconduct or wilful breach of trust on the part of the director.

Further, a company may not indemnify a director in respect of any fine that may be imposed on a director as a consequence of that director having been convicted of an offense, unless the conviction was based on strict liability.

A company may claim restitution from any director for any money paid directly or indirectly by the company to or on behalf of such director in any manner inconsistent with the provisions of Section 78 of the SA Companies Act 2008.

The SA Companies Act 2008 provides that, except to the extent that the company’s Memorandum of Incorporation provides otherwise, a company may purchase insurance to protect a director and/or the company against any liability or expense for which the company is permitted, in terms of the SA Companies Act 2008, to indemnify a director.

The Registrant has purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for its directors and officers and those of its subsidiaries.

Item 9. Undertakings.


(a)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
   
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
 



7


(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
   
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
   
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
   
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
   
(b)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     17 March 2023
Ladies and Gentlemen,  



OPINION AND CONSENT OF EDWARD NATHAN SONNENBERGS INC., SOUTH AFRICAN COUNSEL TO ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI LIMITED
1.
We have acted as independent South African legal adviser to AngloGold Ashanti Limited (registration number 1944/017354/06), a company incorporated and registered in the Republic of South Africa (the “Registrant”), in connection with the filing by the Registrant, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), of the Form S-8 registration statement dated 17 March 2023 (the “Registration Statement”), relating to the registration of 15,000,000 (fifteen million) ordinary shares, with a par value of R0.25 (twenty-five South African cents) per share, of the Registrant (the “Ordinary Shares”).
   
2.
We are instructed that the Ordinary Shares are issuable under and in accordance with the terms of the Registrant’s 2018 Deferred Share Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), which was approved by the Registrant’s shareholders on 16 May 2017 and became effective on 1 January 2018. We are further instructed that the Plan was amended and restated by the Registrant’s board of directors on 20 February 2023.
   
3.
In connection with this opinion, we have examined the following documentation (the “Examined Documents”):
     
 
3.1.
a copy of the memorandum of incorporation of the Registrant;
     
 
3.2.
a copy of each of the published notice of the Registrant’s 73rd annual general meeting and the published results of the forementioned annual general meeting, setting out, among other things, the special resolutions adopted by the Registrant’s shareholders: (a) approving the Plan; and (b) authorising the Registrant’s board of directors to allot and issue Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Plan; and
     
 
3.3.
a copy of the Plan.








4.
We have relied solely on the Examined Documents that were made available to us. We give no opinion as to the accuracy of this information and we have made no independent investigation of factual matters or of the accuracy or the appropriateness of any financial, commercial or business matters.
   
5.
This opinion is based on our interpretation of the Examined Documents and applicable South African law as embodied in the South African Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008 (the “Companies Act”), and other relevant acts and related legislation, as well as judicial interpretations in force as at the date of this opinion. In particular, we do not purport to render an opinion on any matter governed by the law of any state of the United States of America or any federal law of the United States of America.
   
6.
This opinion assumes that: (a) the term “non-assessable”, as contemplated in paragraph 7 below, means, for the purposes of this opinion, that a holder of an Ordinary Share will not, solely because of its status as a holder of an Ordinary Share, be liable, to the Registrant or the creditors of the Registrant, for any additional assessments or calls in respect of that Ordinary Share; and (b) for the purposes of (a), the phrase “additional assessments or calls” refers to any obligation to make payments to the Registrant or its creditors (other than the purchase price for the Ordinary Share), or to make contributions to the Registrant or its creditors.
   
7.
Based on the above and subject to the qualifications stated herein, we are of the opinion that the Ordinary Shares, when issued in accordance with the provisions of: (a) the Plan; (b) the Companies Act; (c) the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited; and (d) the memorandum of incorporation of the Registrant, will be validly issued, fully paid up and non-assessable.
   
8.
This opinion is given as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to advise you after the date hereof of facts or circumstances that come to our attention, or changes in law that occur, that could affect the opinions contained herein.
   
9.
This Opinion is intended solely for use in connection with the filing, with the Commission, of the Registration Statement and the issuance of Ordinary Shares subject to the Plan and the Registration Statement, and is not to be relied upon for any other purpose.
   
10.
We hereby consent (the “Consent”) to: (a) be named in the Registration Statement as the attorneys who have passed opinion on the matters referred to herein; and (b) the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and any and all amendments thereto. In giving the Consent, ENSafrica does not admit or concede that it is within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules or regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

Yours faithfully,


/s/ Edward Nathan Sonnenbergs Inc.
