DEALINGS IN SECURITIES BY A DIRECTOR
In compliance with paragraphs 3.63 to 3.74 of the JSE Limited ("JSE") Listings Requirements and paragraphs 6.45
to 6.56 of the JSE Debt and Specialist Securities Listings Requirements, the following information is disclosed.
Shareholders and noteholders are referred to the announcement released on the Stock Exchange News Service
of the JSE on 30 May 2024 which, in turn, referred to prior announcements, dated 17 May 2024, 23 March 2020
which, in turn, referred to prior announcements, dated 2 December 2019, 21 October 2016 and 4 November
2013, regarding hedging transactions entered into by Mr Adrian Gore over a portion of his shareholding in
Discovery. These hedging transactions were related to funding arrangements entered into in order to follow
various rights offers and subscriptions for Discovery ordinary shares over time.
The collar arrangement forming part of the hedging transactions, which included call options on the Discovery
ordinary shares, has now reached maturity. The current Discovery share price at the collar's maturity is higher
than the strike price on the call options, leading to the sale of Discovery ordinary shares (see Transactions 1 to 4
below). Importantly, these sales pertain solely to a subset of Mr Gore's shareholding subject to the collar
arrangement.
In addition, shareholders and noteholders are now advised that Mr Gore has entered into replacement hedging
transactions, as disclosed below (see Transactions 5 and 6 below).
