The Board has declared an interim cash dividend of 50 SA cps for the six months ended 31 December 2025 as follows:

•The dividend has been declared out of income reserves

•The local Dividend Withholding Tax rate is 20% (twenty percent)

•The gross local dividend amount is 50 SA cps for shareholders exempt from Dividend Withholding Tax

•The net local dividend amount is 40 SA cps for shareholders liable to pay Dividend Withholding Tax

•DRDGOLD currently has 867 397 699 ordinary shares in issue

•DRDGOLD’s income tax reference number is 9160/013/60/4

In compliance with the requirements of Strate Proprietary Limited (“Strate”) and the Listings Requirements, given the Company’s primary listing on the exchange operated by the JSE Limited, the salient dates for payment of the dividend are as follows:

•Last date to trade ordinary shares cum-dividend: Tuesday, 10 March 2026

•Ordinary shares trade ex-dividend: Wednesday, 11 March 2026

•Record date: Friday, 13 March 2026

•Payment date: Monday, 16 March 2026

On payment date, dividends due to holders of certificated ordinary shares on the SA share register will either be electronically transferred to such shareholders’ bank accounts or, in the absence of suitable mandates, dividends will be held in escrow by the Company until suitable mandates are received to electronically transfer dividends to such shareholders.

Dividends in respect of dematerialised shareholdings will be credited to such shareholders’ accounts with the relevant Central Securities Depository Participant (CSDP) or broker.

To comply with the further requirements of Strate, between Wednesday, 11 March 2026 and Friday, 13 March 2026, both days inclusive, no transfers between the SA share register and any other share register will be permitted and no ordinary shares pertaining to the SA share register may be dematerialised or rematerialised.

The currency conversion date for the Australian and United Kingdom share registers will be Monday, 16 March 2026.

The holders of American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) should confirm dividend details with the depository bank.

ADR information is tentative and subject to confirmation by the depository bank. Assuming an exchange rate of R16.00/$1, the net dividend payable on an ADR is equivalent to 25 United States cents per share for ADR holders liable to pay Dividend Withholding Tax. However, the actual rate of payment will depend on the exchange rate on the date for currency conversion.
