ANGLO AMERICAN CAPITAL PLC[1] ANNOUNCES EARLY PARTICIPATION RESULTS OF ITS CAPPED TENDER OFFERS FOR CERTAIN U.S. DOLLAR AND EURO DENOMINATED NOTES DUE 2027 TO 2029

March 12, 2025

Anglo American Capital plc (the "Company") announces the early participation results of its previously announced offers to purchase for cash the outstanding notes guaranteed by Anglo American plc[2] (the "Parent Company") of the series described in the table below (the "Notes") upon the terms of, and subject to the conditions as set out in, the offer to purchase dated February 26, 2025 (the "Offer to Purchase"). Each offer to purchase each series of Notes is referred to herein as an "Offer" and the offers to purchase the Notes as the "Offers." Capitalised terms not otherwise defined in this announcement have the same meaning as assigned to them in the Offer to Purchase.

Early Participation Results of the Tender Offers

The following table sets forth the aggregate principal amounts of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offers at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 11, 2025 (the "Early Tender Time"), as reported by the Information and Tender Agent:

Consideration for the Notes

Holders that validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Time and whose Notes are accepted for purchase will receive the Total Consideration, together with an amount equal to the Accrued Interest thereon. When calculated in this manner, the Total Consideration already includes the Early Tender Premium. The Total Consideration for each series of Notes accepted for purchase will be determined at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on March 12, 2025 in accordance with standard market practices and as described in the Offer to Purchase.

In addition to the Total Consideration and Late Tender Offer Consideration, as applicable, Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase will be paid the Accrued Interest thereon. The purchase price for the Dollar Notes and the Euro Notes will be paid in U.S. Dollars and Euro, respectively.

The Company will announce, amongst other things, the amount of each series of Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase on the Early Settlement Date, any proration factor in respect of the Notes settled on the Early Settlement Date, the Total Consideration and Late Tender Offer Consideration for each series of Notes as soon as reasonably practicable after the Price Determination Date.

In respect of accepted Notes that were delivered at or prior to the Early Tender Time, the Company expects the Early Settlement Date to occur on March 14, 2025, the third business day after the Early Tender Time.

Increases to Pool Maximum Tender Amounts; Acceptance Priority Levels and Proration

It is currently the Company's intention to increase the Pool 1 Maximum Tender Amount to an amount that would be equivalent to an aggregate Total Consideration (excluding Accrued Interest) payable in respect of Pool 1 Notes of approximately $500,000,000 and (ii) to increase the Pool 2 Maximum Tender Amount to an amount that would be equivalent to an aggregate Total Consideration (excluding Accrued Interest) payable in respect of Pool 2 Notes of approximately $500,000,000.

The amount of Notes that will be purchased in the relevant Offer will be based on the applicable Acceptance Priority Level set forth in the table above and each Pool is subject to the relevant pool Maximum Tender Amount. Purchases of the Notes in respect of all Pools may be prorated. As a result, all Notes within a Pool validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time having a higher Acceptance Priority Level (with 1 being higher) will be accepted before any tendered Notes within such Pool having a lower Acceptance Priority Level (with 2 being lower). To determine whether the relevant Pool Maximum Tender Amount has been reached, the Company will convert the aggregate principal amount of the Euro Notes validly tendered into U.S. Dollars at the FX Rate, which will be determined on the Price Determination Date.

The Company will determine that amount of each series of Notes that will be accepted following the Price Determination Time, which is the point at which the FX Rate and each Total Consideration will be determined.
