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 fifth and final tranche of the call options within the
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.
