DEALINGS IN SECURITIES - ACCEPTANCE OF AWARDS

On 2 December 2019, shareholders of DRDGOLD (“Shareholders”) approved an equity settled
long-term incentive scheme (“LTI Scheme”) to replace the cash settled long-term incentive scheme
established in November 2015. Under the LTI Scheme, qualifying employees 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). Conditional shares vest 3 years after
grant date, subject to the rules of the LTI Scheme, including certain performance conditions being met,
and will be settled in the form of DRDGOLD ordinary shares (“DRDGOLD Shares”) at a zero-exercise
price.

DRDGOLD hereby advises Shareholders of the following acceptances of awards of conditional shares in
terms of the LTI Scheme (“Awards”) by directors, prescribed officers and the company secretary of
DRDGOLD:
