DEALINGS IN SECURITIES – ACCEPTANCE OF AWARDS

In terms of the DRDGOLD Single Incentive Plan, incorporating the Deferred Share Plan, which was
approved by shareholders of DRDGOLD (“Shareholders”) on 29 November 2023 (“DSP”), qualifying
employees are awarded deferred shares on an annual basis (“Awards”).

Awards vest over a period of five years, at a rate of 20% per annum, in respect of F-band participants,
and over a period of three years, at a rate of 33.3% per annum, in respect of E and D band participants,
in each case commencing on the award date. Vesting is subject to the rules of the DSP, including the
participant’s continued employment with the Group. Vested Awards are settled through the issue or
delivery of DRDGOLD ordinary shares (“DRDGOLD Shares”) at a zero-exercise price.

DRDGOLD hereby advises Shareholders of the acceptance of the Awards by directors, prescribed
officers and the company secretary of DRDGOLD, as well as directors of its major subsidiaries:
