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 (“Vesting Period”), subject to the rules of the LTI Scheme, including certain
performance conditions being met. Notwithstanding the Vesting Period, the LTI Scheme made provision for 50% of the
Awards made in December 2019 (“2019 Awards”) to vest in December 2021 (being 2 years after the grant date) and
the remaining 50% to vest in December 2022 (being 3 years after the grant date), subject to the rules of the LTI Scheme.
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 50% of the 2019 Awards to directors, prescribed
officers and the company secretary of DRDGOLD and its major subsidiaries on 2 December 2022 (“Vesting”), the
deemed value of which is based on the closing price of a DRDGOLD Share on the date immediately preceding the date
of Vesting, being R11.80 on 1 December 2022.

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:
