DEALINGS IN SECURITIES
Shareholders of DRDGOLD ("Shareholders") are advised that in terms of the equity settled long-term incentive scheme
("LTI Scheme"), as approved by Shareholders on 2 December 2019, qualifying employees ("Participants") are awarded
conditional shares on an annual basis, comprising performance shares (80% of the total conditional shares awarded)
and retention shares (20% of the total conditional shares awarded) ("Awards").
Awards vest three years after grant date, subject to the rules of the LTI Scheme, including certain performance conditions
being met. Vested Awards are settled in the form of DRDGOLD ordinary shares ("DRDGOLD Shares") at a zero-exercise
price.
Furthermore, various Participants have elected to dispose of all or a portion of the vested DRDGOLD Shares
("Relevant DRDGOLD Shares"), pursuant to the off-market vesting of the Awards made on 19 October 2022 to executive
directors and prescribed officers of DRDGOLD and directors of its major subsidiaries on 20 October 2025.
Accordingly, in order to facilitate the disposal of the Relevant DRDGOLD Shares ("Sale"), a pooled sale arrangement
has been put in place in terms of which the aggregate of the Relevant DRDGOLD Shares were disposed of, by an
independent third party, through various on-market trades ("Pooled Sale").
The proceeds from the Sale have been apportioned to the various Participants based on the number of
Relevant DRDGOLD Shares disposed of by such Participants. The apportionment of the proceeds of the Sales to
directors and a prescribed officer of DRDGOLD and directors of DRDGOLD's major subsidiaries is as set out below.
