ACCEPTANCE OF ANNUAL AWARDS OF SHARES IN TERMS OF THE DEFERRED PORTION OF THE SINGLE INCENTIVE
PLAN ("SIP") AND OUTPERFORMANCE SINGLE INCENTIVE ("OPSI") SCHEMES

In compliance with paragraphs 3.63 to 3.74 of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements and paragraphs 6.45 to 6.56 of
the Debt and Specialist Securities Listings Requirements respectively, notification is hereby given that certain
executive directors, the Group company secretary and a prescribed officer of the Company and directors of major
subsidiaries have accepted annual awards of ordinary shares allocated in terms of the deferred portion of the SIP
through the Discovery Long-Term Incentive Plan Trust ("LTIP Trust"). In addition, certain awards of ordinary shares
have been allocated and accepted in terms of OPSI schemes.

The deferred portion of the SIP has been awarded based on the performance criteria as per the SIP for the year ended
30 June 2025. Key executives who are directly accountable for the growth, profitability and scaling of established and
new businesses participate in OPSI schemes specific for their business units. OPSI stretch targets have been
established in line with the Group's long-term strategy. The share awards of the deferred portion of the SIP and OPSI
are subject to continued employment conditions and will be settled in equity held on behalf of participants by the
LTIP Trust. For certain OPSI awards, vesting is also subject to additional performance conditions.

The nature of the interest in respect of each of these awards is indirect beneficial. The transactions have occurred
off-market and the necessary clearances have been obtained. The details are set out below:
