This section of the Remuneration Report explains the implementation of the remuneration policy by providing details of the remuneration paid to members of the executive management team and non-executive directors for the financial year ended 31 December 2021.
Executive management team pay
Mercer conducts a biennial bespoke survey of executive management team remuneration. For 2021, the committee reviewed the comparator group against AngloGold Ashanti to ensure that changes in the market had not led to variances that made the current matches inappropriate. The committee approved the inclusion of Sibanye-Stillwater into the comparator group commencing in 2022. See <NOM>.
The companies included in the comparator group are ranked in terms of a number of criteria selected in areas which were aligned with AngloGold Ashanti. The table below summarises the 2021 comparator group:
2021 Comparator benchmark group
Agnico Eagle Mines | Canada |
Anglo American Platinum Limited | South Africa |
Antofagasta | United Kingdom |
Barrick Gold Corporation | Canada |
B2Gold Corporation | Canada |
Gold Fields Limited | South Africa |
Kinross Gold Corporation | Canada |
Newcrest Mining Limited | Australia |
Newmont/Goldcorp | United States |

Yamana Gold Incorporated | Canada |
Annual salary review 2021
In January 2021, annual increases resulted in each member of the executive management team receiving an increase in line with the CPI in their respective jurisdictions. This is in line with increases for all AngloGold Ashanti employees. Most of the executive management voluntarily elected to donate their increase to the special COVID-19 relief fund in South Africa. The respective CPI increases applicable to the executive management team were as follows:
Region | Inflationary salary increase |
---|---|
Australia | 1.5% |
South Africa | 4.1% |
United States | 2.0% |
It is to be noted that a special salary increase adjustment was implemented effective 1 January 2021 for Ms Lizelle Marwick who has received an overall increase of 20% to align her closer to both the market and her internal peers.
Details are available in the single total figure reporting table below.
For management and below employees that are not in the bargaining unit, the committee reviews a local market increase application, this is primarily based on CPI. However, concession is granted where there are region specific scarce skills or hyperinflation considerations. For 2021 the majority of increases were CPI based. Actual increases are typically performance differentiated while retaining the overall CPI increase pool.
Increases awarded to our various bargaining units were determined through a collective bargaining process.

2021 DSP performance outcomes
The committee approved the 2021 DSP metrics Company performance achievement with the following downward adjustments:
- nCROE: 7.5% reduction from stretch to target on the basis of the Company’s performance
- AIFR: 4% reduction as a result of the two fatalities that took place at Obuasi in Ghana and Serra Grande in Brazil
- This resulted in a total reduction of 11.5%. Therefore the 2021 DSP Company performance achievement will be 70.73% (from the original 82.23%)
The table below, which is a 14% reduction on the unadjusted figure, summarises AngloGold Ashanti’s remuneration metrics, their weightings, and performance against these metrics applicable to the DSP during 2021:

Non-executive directors’ fees and allowances
The board received a 2% inflationary increase for 2021. This increase was based on the US inflation rate in 2021, in line with market practice. This is the first increase non-executive directors have received since 2014. During 2021, the board and its committees held a significantly higher number of special meetings in respect of several strategic matters considered by the board and the recruitment of the CEO and a non-executive, which resulted in an increase in fees paid to non-executive directors.
The table below details the fees and allowances paid to non-executive directors during the year as approved by shareholders.
