MyShare: Purchase and Match is opening soon!
You can join MyShare 2026 from 26 June to 17 July.
MyShare: Purchase and Match is back for 2026
MyShare is our employee share plan. It's made up of two parts: Purchase and Match and Free Shares.
You can get involved in one, both or neither – the choice is yours. If you've joined one or both parts before, you'll be familiar with how it works – but here's a quick reminder, or a handy introduction if you're new to it all.
MyShare: Purchase and Match is an easy and convenient way for you to buy shares and own part of Anglo American.
And the best part? For every share you buy, we give you an extra one at no extra cost!
Alongside MyShare: Free Shares, it's a great way to share in the success we create together.
You can find everything you need to know on this page.
How it works
Each MyShare: Purchase and Match cycle lasts for two years. Here's what to expect if you decide to join in 2026.
Join
Choose how much you want to contribute each month to buying Anglo American shares.
Contribute
Your contributions are deducted each month, from your salary after tax.
Purchase and Match
We use your contributions to buy your Purchased Shares. For every share you buy, we give you an extra Matching Share!
Hold
Hold onto your Purchased Shares to unlock your Matching Shares.
Unlock
Your free, Matching Shares unlock, meaning all your shares now belong to you – to keep or sell as you wish!
Risks and benefits
As with all investments in stocks and shares, there are some risks and benefits in joining MyShare: Purchase and Match. The information on this page is to help you make an informed decision about whether investing is right for you.
Benefits
As soon as you buy at least one Anglo American share, you become shareholder. This means you own part of Anglo American, and brings some great benefits:
- You are eligible to receive a share of our profits, known as dividends, whenever we pay these. This will be given to you as more shares.
- You can vote on key company decisions at shareholder meetings. Each share entitles you to one vote on each key decision.
- Benefit from our future success if our share price increases when you sell your shares.
Risks
Our share price share price can go down as well as up, and your shares could reduce in value over time. What this could mean for you:
- The shares you buy could be worth less than the money you invested to buy them.
- Your Matching Shares could be worth less than when they were given to you.
However, because we give you your Matching Share at no cost to you, you will not lose any money on these. And taken together, since you get two shares for the price of one, our share price would need to drop significantly for you to be out of pocket.
Example: Anita's story
Anita has joined MyShare: Free Shares in the past. This year, she decides to join MyShare: Purchase and Match too.
She decides to contribute £25 a month, as that amount works for her.
Let's say our share price stays at £25. Anita's contribution buys her one share each month for two years. £25 contribution ÷ £25 share price = 1 share.
At the end of MyShare, Anita has contributed £600.
1 share per month x 24 months = 24 shares.
For every share she buys, Anita receives an extra Matching Share at no cost to her.
24 Purchased Shares = 24 Matching Shares.
In total, Anita now owns 48 shares, plus any shares from dividends we've paid.
After 2 years, Anita can either keep or sell her shares!
Let's assume by this time that our share price has increased to £30 per share.
Anita's shares are now worth £1,440 (48 shares x £30).
This is a gain of £840 (£1,440 value – £600 contributions).
When Anita's Matching Shares unlock, she decides to keep them and continue her journey as an Anglo American shareholder. Her shares are added to her MyShare: Free Shares that she has previously accepted. She is keen to vote on key company decisions and receive a share of any profits when further dividends are paid.
Please note, this example assumes:
- The Anglo American share price remains constant during the contribution period. In reality, it is likely to fluctuate – it can go down as well as up.
- The share price increases when the Matching Shares unlock. However, share prices can go down as well as up. The level of financial gain depends on the share price at the time of sale. Any gain may be subject to tax – see your local tax guide in the 'Resources' section.
- Anglo American shares are traded in pounds sterling. If your contribution is in another currency, it'll be converted into pounds before used to purchase Anglo American shares. Exchange rates go up and down over time, which may affect how many pounds you have each month to buy Anglo American shares.

Know your limits…

- Between £10 and £150 a month (£120 to £1,800 a year) or equivalent in your local currency.
- No more than 10% of your salary. This limit is across all MyShare: Purchase and Match that you're investing in. If you joined last year, the amount you can contribute this year will be £1,800 minus the amount you invested last year.
Any contributions from the 2024 cycle will have stopped by this point, which means they no longer count towards the limit.* There is more information on page 11 of the brochure (see 'Resources'' below).
* Your contribution amounts will be reviewed alongside last year's contributions. If your total contributions across both plans are over the annual contribution limit, this year's contribution will be reduced to the maximum amount allowed – either £150 per month or equivalent in your local currency, or 10% of your salary.
