DIVIDEND

The Board has declared a final cash dividend of 20 South African (“SA”) cents per ordinary share for the year ended 30 June 2019 as follows:

· the dividend has been declared out of income reserves;

· the local Dividend Withholding Tax rate is 20% (twenty per cent);

· the gross local dividend amount is 20 SA cents per ordinary share for shareholders exempt from Dividend Withholding Tax;

· the net local dividend amount is 16 SA cents per ordinary share for shareholders liable to pay Dividend Withholding Tax;

· DRDGOLD currently has 696 429 767 ordinary shares in issue (which includes 9 474 920 treasury shares); and

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

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

· last date to trade ordinary shares cum dividend: Monday, 23 September 2019;

· ordinary shares trade ex-dividend: Wednesday, 25 September 2019;

· record date: Friday, 27 September 2019; and

· payment date: Monday, 30 September 2019.

On payment date, dividends due to holders of certificated securities on the SA share register will either be electronically transferred to such shareholders’ bank accounts or, in the absence of suitable mandates, dividend cheques will be posted 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, 25 September 2019 and Friday, 27 September 2019, 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, 30 September 2019.

To holders of American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”):

· each ADR represents 10 ordinary shares;

· ADRs trade ex-dividend on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE): Thursday, 26 September 2019;

· record date: Friday, 27 September 2019;

· approximate date of currency conversion: Monday, 30 September 2019; and

· approximate payment date of dividend: Thursday, 10 October 2019

Assuming an exchange rate of R15.20/$1, the dividend payable on an ADR is equivalent to 13 United States cents for shareholders liable to pay dividend tax. However, the actual rate of payment will depend on the exchange rate on the date for currency conversion.
