In compliance with paragraph 3.59 of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, DRDGOLD is pleased to announce the
appointment of Ms Henriette Hooijer as Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") Designate and as an executive director of the
Company with effect from Tuesday, 1 July 2025, as successor to Mr Riaan Davel, who has signalled his intention to step
down from his executive role after the completion of the FY2025 financial reporting season.

Mr Davel joined DRDGOLD as CFO on 1 January 2015, after 17 years in the professional services industry. DRDGOLD is

Ms Hooijer, a qualified Chartered Accountant (SA), joined Mr Davel's team at DRDGOLD on 1 May 2016 as
Group Financial SOX and Compliance Manager, after 11 years at KPMG. On 1 July 2018, she was promoted to
Financial Director of Far West Gold Recoveries Proprietary Limited and played an important part in the construction and
commissioning of this project. On 1 March 2024, she was promoted to General Manager: Group Finance, forming part
of the team responsible for the implementation of Vision 2028, in addition to her senior executive role in the financial and
operational management of the Group.

It is anticipated that Ms Hooijer will assume the office of CFO from 1 February 2026.

The board of directors of the Company welcomes Ms Hooijer to her new role and would like to thank Mr Davel for his
exemplary contribution to the Company thus far, and looks forward to his continued contribution in supporting the office
of the CFO.
