Dealings in securities

Shareholders are advised that, in terms of the equity settled long-term incentive scheme (“LTI Scheme”), as approved by Shareholders on 2 December 2019, qualifying employees (“Participants”) were awarded conditional shares on 25 October 2023, comprising performance shares (80% of the total conditional shares awarded) and retention shares (20% of the total conditional shares awarded) (“Awards”).

Awards vest three years after grant date, subject to the rules of the LTI Scheme, including certain performance conditions being met. Following the assessment of the applicable DRDGOLD performance conditions for the financial year ended 30 June 2026, 60% of the Awards eligible for vesting, vested on 27 October 2026. Vested Awards are settled in the form of DRDGOLD ordinary shares (“DRDGOLD Shares”) at a zero-exercise price.

Furthermore, various Participants have elected to dispose of all or a portion of the vested DRDGOLD Shares (“Relevant DRDGOLD Shares”), pursuant to the off-market vesting of the Awards made on 25 October 2023 to executive directors, a prescribed officer and the company secretary of DRDGOLD and directors of its major subsidiaries on 27 October 2026.

Accordingly, in order to facilitate the disposal, a pooled sale arrangement has been put in place in terms of which the aggregate of the Relevant DRDGOLD Shares were disposed of, by an independent third party, through various on-market trades (“Pooled Sale”).

The value of DRDGOLD Shares sold, related to the Participants detailed below, is based on the daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) achieved in the Pooled Sale, as set out in the table below.


Date of Sale	Number of DRDGOLD Shares sold	Price per DRDGOLD Share	Total value of DRDGOLD Shares sold

The proceeds from the Pooled Sale (as set out above), have been apportioned to the various Participants based on the number of Relevant DRDGOLD Shares disposed of by such Participants. The apportionment of the proceeds of the Pooled Sale of DRDGOLD Shares to executive directors, a prescribed officer and the company secretary of DRDGOLD and directors of DRDGOLD’s major subsidiaries is as set out below:
