Dealings in securities

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”) were awarded conditional shares on 25
October 2023, 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. Following the assessment of the applicable DRDGOLD performance conditions for the financial year ended
30 June 2026, 60% of the Awards eligible for vesting, vested on 27 October 2026. 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 25 October 2023 to executive
directors, a prescribed officer and the company secretary of DRDGOLD and directors of its major subsidiaries on
27 October 2026.

Accordingly, in order to facilitate the disposal, 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 value of DRDGOLD Shares sold, related to the Participants detailed below, is based on the daily volume weighted
average price (“VWAP”) achieved in the Pooled Sale, as set out in the table below.

 Date of Sale            Number of DRDGOLD        Price per DRDGOLD Share                        Total value of
                               Shares sold                                                  DRDGOLD Shares sold

                                                  following price information:
                                                     - VWAP of R40.7170;
                                                     - highest price of R40.85; and
                                                     - lowest price of R40.70.

The proceeds from the Pooled Sale (as set out above), 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
Pooled Sale of DRDGOLD Shares to executive directors, a prescribed officer and the company secretary of DRDGOLD
and directors of DRDGOLD’s major subsidiaries is as set out below:
