ANGLO AMERICAN CAPITAL PLC LAUNCHES CASH TENDER OFFERS
FOR CERTAIN U.S. DOLLAR SECURITIES

Anglo American Capital plc[1] (the "Company") has today invited holders of the securities listed below (the "Securities") to tender any and all of their Securities for purchase by the Company for cash (the "Tender Offers"), on the terms of, and subject to the conditions contained in, a tender offer memorandum dated September 6, 2017 (the "Tender Offer Memorandum"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this announcement have the same meaning as assigned to them in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

Holders are advised to read carefully the Tender Offer Memorandum for full details of, and information on the procedures for participating in, the Tender Offers.

Rationale for the Tender Offers

The Tender Offers are being made by the Company as part of the Company's ongoing pro-active capital management.

Securities purchased by the Company pursuant to the Tender Offers will be cancelled and will not be re-issued or re-sold. Securities which have not been successfully submitted and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offers will remain outstanding after the Settlement Date.

Tender Consideration

Purchase Price

Holders of Securities validly tendered at or prior to the Expiration Time and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offers, will receive on the Settlement Date the relevant Purchase Price and any Accrued Interest.

In respect of each Series, the "Purchase Price" for each U.S.$1,000 in nominal amount of Securities will be determined in the manner described in the Tender Offer Memorandum by the Joint Dealer Managers at the Pricing Time by reference to the sum of (i) the relevant Purchase Spread and (ii) the relevant Reference Yield for the relevant Series as reported on the Bloomberg Reference Page PX1 at the Pricing Time.

The sum of the relevant Purchase Spread and the relevant Reference Yield is referred to herein and in the Tender Offer Memorandum as the "Purchase Yield". Specifically, the Purchase Price per U.S.$1,000 in nominal amount of the Securities will equal the value per U.S.$1,000 in nominal amount of all remaining payments of principal and interest on such Securities to be made to (and including) the maturity date of the relevant Securities, discounted to the Settlement Date in accordance with the formula set forth in the Schedule to the Tender Offer Memorandum, at a discount rate equal to the relevant Purchase Yield, minus Accrued Interest on U.S.$1,000 in nominal amount of the relevant Series to, but excluding, the Settlement Date.

Price Determination

The Joint Dealer Managers will calculate the Purchase Yield, Purchase Price and Accrued Interest on behalf of the Company, and their calculation will be final and binding, absent manifest error. The Company will publicly announce the actual Purchase Price and Accrued Interest for each Series of the Securities as soon as reasonably practicable after they are determined.

Because the Purchase Price for the Securities is based on a fixed spread pricing formula linked to the yield on the relevant Reference Treasury Security, the actual amount of cash that may be received by a Holder tendering the Securities pursuant to the Tender Offers will be affected by changes in such yield during the term of the Tender Offers before the Pricing Time. After the Pricing Time, when the Purchase Price for the Securities is no longer linked to the yield on the relevant Reference Treasury Security, the actual amount of cash that may be received by a tendering Holder of the Securities pursuant to the Tender Offers will be known and Holders of the Securities will be able to ascertain the Purchase Price for the Securities in the manner described above.

Accrued Interest

The Accrued Interest Amount will be calculated on the basis of the current and prevailing interest rate.

The calculation of the Accrued Interest Amount by or on behalf of the Company will be final and binding, absent manifest error.

The Company reserves the right at any time to waive any or all of the Conditions of the Tender Offer.

If the Company decides to accept for purchase any validly tendered Securities of any Series, then all Securities of that Series validly tendered will be accepted for purchase in full.

Tender Offers Period and Results

The Tender Offers commenced today, September 6, 2017 and will end at the Expiration Time, unless extended, re-opened, and/or terminated as provided in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

The relevant deadline set by any intermediary for the submission of Electronic Offer Instructions will be earlier than this deadline.

The results of the Tender Offers are expected to be announced on September 13, 2017. The acceptance of Securities for purchase is conditional on the satisfaction of the conditions of the Tender Offers as provided in the Tender Offer Memorandum. The Settlement Date for the Tender Offers is expected to be September 15, 2017. In order to receive the Tender Consideration, holders of Securities must validly tender (and not validly withdraw) their Securities by the Expiration Time, by delivering, or arranging to have delivered on their behalf, a valid Electronic Offer Instruction that is received by the Information and Tender Agent by the Expiration Time. If any holder of Securities wishes to tender its Securities but such holder cannot comply with the procedures for submission of a valid Electronic Offer Instruction by the Expiration Time, such holder may tender its Securities according to the guaranteed delivery procedures, as further described in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

The Securities are denominated, and accordingly can only be tendered by Holders, in the applicable Minimum Denomination, being U.S.$200,000 in the case of the Securities due May 2020 and U.S.$100,000 in the case of the Securities due September 2020, and in excess integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 thereafter. Offers to Sell which relate to a nominal amount of Securities of either Series of less than the applicable Minimum Denomination will be rejected.

See the Tender Offer Memorandum for further details on submitting an Electronic Offer Instruction or the guaranteed delivery procedures.

Once the Company has announced the results of the Tender Offers in accordance with applicable law, the Company's acceptance of Electronic Offer Instructions (including, where applicable, any notice of guaranteed delivery) in accordance with the terms of the Tender Offers will be irrevocable. Electronic Offer Instructions (including, where applicable, any notice of guaranteed delivery) which are so accepted will constitute binding obligations of the submitting Holders and the Company to settle the Tender Offers.

Announcements in connection with the Tender Offers will be made by the issue of a press release through a Notifying News Service, by the delivery of notices to DTC for communication to Direct Participants and (where relevant) via the Regulatory News Service of the London Stock Exchange. Copies of all announcements, press releases and notices can also be obtained from the Information and Tender Agent, the contact details for which are set out below.

INDICATIVE TIMETABLE

The following table sets out the expected dates and times of the key events relating to the Tender Offers. This is an indicative timetable and is subject to change.

Subject to applicable securities laws and the terms set within the Tender Offer Memorandum, the Company reserves the right, with respect to any or all of the Securities, (i) to waive or modify in whole or in part any and all conditions to the Tender Offers (ii) to extend the Pricing Time, the Expiration Time and/or the Settlement Date, (iii) to modify or terminate the Tender Offers or (iv) to otherwise amend the Tender Offers in any respect.

General

The Tender Offers do not constitute an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell Securities (and Offers to Sell will not be accepted from Holders) in any circumstances in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. In those jurisdictions where the securities or other laws require the Tender Offers to be made by a licensed broker or dealer or similar and any of the Joint Dealer Managers or any of the Joint Dealer Managers' respective affiliates is such a licensed broker or dealer in any such jurisdiction, the Tender Offers shall be deemed to be made by such Joint Dealer Manager or such affiliate, as the case may be, on behalf of the Company in such jurisdiction.

Each Holder participating in the Tender Offers will be deemed to give certain representations in respect of the jurisdictions referred to above and generally as set out in the Tender Offer Memorandum. Any tender of Securities for purchase pursuant to an Offer to Sell pursuant to the Tender Offers from a Holder that is unable to make these representations may be rejected. Each of the Company, the Joint Dealer Managers and the Information and Tender Agent reserves the right, in its absolute discretion (and without prejudice to the relevant Holder's responsibility for the representations made by it), to investigate, in relation to any tender of Securities for purchase pursuant to a Tender Offer, whether any such representation given by a Holder is correct and, if such investigation is undertaken and as a result the Company determines (for any reason) that such representation is not correct, such Offer to Sell may be rejected.
