Deferred Shares financial

"16,826 deferred shares of DRDGOLD Limited previously awarded to the Reporting Person"

Deferred shares are a class of stock whose economic benefits or certain shareholder rights are delayed or paid later than ordinary shares—for example, dividends may be paid only after other shareholders receive theirs, or voting or redemption rights may be postponed. For investors, that timing difference matters because deferred shares typically offer lower near-term income and different risk, affecting expected returns, priority in payouts, and the share’s market value; think of them like a delayed paycheck compared with a regular salary.

Single Incentive Plan financial

"previously awarded to the Reporting Person under the Company's Single Incentive Plan"

pooled sale financial

"sold on behalf of the Reporting Person as part of a pooled sale conducted"

South African Reserve Bank exchange rate financial
