DEALINGS IN SECURITIES BY DIRECTORS

Shareholders are referred to the announcement released on SENS
on 30 December 2009 regarding zero-cost collar hedging
transactions that were entered into by Adrian Gore and Barry
Swartzberg   on  29   December  2009   (“the  collar”)   ,  an
announcement released on 2 March 2012 advising of certain
changes to the terms of the collar agreement and a further
announcement released on 19 June 2013 advising that Mr Gore
had entered into an agreement to purchase tranches three, four
and five of the call options from Investec Bank Limited.

The third tranche of the call options within the zero-cost
collar are now due and have been settled as follows:


Since the current share price exceeds the option strike price
on the call options, shareholders are advised that Mr
Swartzberg has concluded transactions in relation to the
851,998 options sold by him and the corresponding Discovery
shares held. This has resulted in the disposal of the affected
shares and Mr Swartzberg receiving the amount of the strike
price under the options. The obligations under the options
have terminated.
