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 3 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.

DRDGOLD hereby advises Shareholders of the off-market vesting of the Awards made in October 2020 to directors and
prescribed officers of DRDGOLD and its major subsidiaries on 22 October 2023 ("Vesting"), the deemed value of which
is based on the closing price of a DRDGOLD Share on the business day immediately preceding the date of Vesting,
being R18.31 on 20 October 2023.

Furthermore, various Participants have elected to dispose of all or a portion of the vested DRDGOLD Shares
("Relevant DRDGOLD Shares"). Accordingly, in order to facilitate the disposal of the Relevant DRDGOLD Shares, a
pooled sale arrangement has been put in place in terms of which the aggregate of the Relevant DRDGOLD Shares are
being disposed of, by an independent third party, through various on-market trades ("Sales").

The details of the Vesting and Sales (to date) are set out below:
