Anglo American - AGM 05 May 2020

Item 4: Elect Ms. Nonkululeko Nyembezi

We have concerns over aggregate time commitments: Ms. Nyembezi is the CEO of a listed company and non-executive director and a chairwoman in three other listed companies.

Item 7: Re-elect Mr. Stuart Chambers

There has been no progress in gender diversity. ECGS recommends to oppose the re-election of the Chairman of the Nomination Committee.

Items 16 and 17: Remuneration policy and report

The maximum total variable remuneration under the remuneration policy could reach 510% of base salary in ordinary circumstances, which is above our limit of 300%.

There should be a better alignment between Anglo American's KPIs and executive remuneration: the 2019 bonus excessively relies on the EPS (50%). The CEO's and Board's total remunerations are excessive regarding the Company's size and scale, its sector and its performance.
