The general authority in terms of this resolution shall extend up to and including the date of the next AGM of the company or 15 (fifteen) months from the date on which this resolution is passed, whichever is the earlier date; 2. The company and its subsidiaries are enabled by their memorandum of incorporation to acquire shares; 3. The repurchase by the company of shares in issue shall not exceed, in aggregate, 20% (twenty percent) of the relevant class of the company’s issued share capital, at the beginning of the financial year, in any one financial year; 4. Acquisitions by the company or its subsidiaries shall not be made at a price greater than 10% (ten percent) above the weighted average of the market value of shares on the exchange operated by the JSE Limited (“JSE”) for the 5 (five) business days immediately preceding the date on which the acquisition is effected; 5. Acquisitions by the subsidiaries of the company may not result in a subsidiary, together with all other subsidiaries of the company, holding more than 10% (ten percent) of the relevant class of the entire issued share capital of the company from time to time; 6. Acquisitions of shares may not take place during a prohibited period, as defined in the JSE Listings Requirements, unless a repurchase programme, in compliance with paragraph 7.89 of the JSE Listings Requirements, in terms of which an independent third party, which makes its investment decisions in relation to the company’s securities independently of, and uninfluenced by the company, executes the repurchase programme, is in place where the dates and quantities of shares to be traded during the relevant period are fixed and has been submitted to the JSE in writing prior to the commencement of the prohibited period; 7. As soon as the company and/or its subsidiary/ies has/have cumulatively repurchased 3% (three percent) of the number of the relevant class of shares in issue as at the time that the general authority is granted, and for each 3% (three percent) in aggregate of the initial number of that class acquired thereafter, a SENS announcement containing the required details of such acquisitions will be published in compliance with the JSE Listings Requirements; 8. Such acquisitions will be effected through the order book operated by the trading system of the JSE and done without prior understanding or arrangement between the company and the counterparty (reported trades being prohibited); 9. The company shall only be entitled, at any point in time, to appoint one agent to effect any acquisition on its behalf pursuant to this resolution; 10. Any such general acquisitions are subject to the exchange control regulations and approvals applicable at that point in time; 11. Prior to any acquisition, a resolution is passed by the Board authorising the acquisition, and stating that the group has passed the solvency and liquidity test (as contemplated in section 4 of the Act) and that, since that test was performed, there have been no material changes to the financial position of the group; and 12. After having considered the effect of repurchases of up to 20% (twenty percent) of Shares pursuant to this general authority (assuming it were to take place), the directors are, in terms of the Act and the JSE Listings Requirements, of the opinion that for a period of 12 (twelve) months after the date of this Notice: 12.1 the company and the group would be able to repay their debts in the ordinary course of business; 12.2 the assets of the company and the group, fairly valued, will be in excess of the liabilities of the company and the group. For this purpose, the assets and liabilities are recognised and measured in accordance with the accounting policies used in the latest audited group AFS; 12.3 the company and the group will have adequate share capital and reserves for ordinary business purposes; 12.4 the working capital of the company and the group will be adequate for ordinary business purposes; and 12.5 a resolution by the Board that it has authorised the repurchase, that the company and its subsidiaries have passed the solvency and liquidity test and that, since that test was performed, there have been no material changes to the financial position of the group.” The general authority granted by way of this resolution is subject to paragraphs 7.84 – 7.88 of the JSE Listings Requirements. Explanation The reason for, and effect of, Special Resolution Number 1 is to enable the directors to approve the acquisition by the group of Shares in the company, subject to the limitations set out in the resolution. The directors are of the opinion that opportunities to acquire the Shares, which could enhance the earnings per share and/or net asset value per share, may present themselves in the future. Accordingly, in order for the group to be placed in a position to be able to utilise the provisions of the Act, and the JSE Listings Requirements, it is proposed that the directors be authorised by way of general authority, to acquire up to the maximum number of its Shares permitted by the JSE Listings Requirements.

1 BASIS OF PREPARATION The Summary Consolidated Annual Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Listings Requirements and the requirements of the Companies Act. The JSE Listings Requirements require Summary Consolidated Annual Financial Statements to be prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards Accounting Standards (“Accounting Standards”) and the South African financial reporting requirements defined as the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and the Financial Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and to also, at a minimum, contain the information required by IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Consolidated Annual Financial Statements, from which the Summary Consolidated Annual Financial Statements were derived, are in terms of the Accounting Standards and are consistent with those applied in the previous Consolidated Annual Financial Statements. The Summary Consolidated Annual Financial Statements have not been audited or reviewed and are extracted from the complete set of consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2026, which have been audited by the company’s auditor, BDO South Africa Inc. The complete set of the annual financial statements has been prepared under the supervision of the Group’s Chief Financial Officer, Ms Henriette Hooijer, CA(SA). The audited consolidated financial statements and the unqualified audit report on the consolidated financial statements are available from the company upon written request via email to the Company Secretary, Ms Kgomotso Mbanyele at kgomotso.mbanyele@drdgold.com or on the company's website at https://www.drdgold.com/investors/reports-and-results. Shareholders are therefore advised that in order to obtain a full understanding of the financial results and the financial position of the Group, as well as the nature of the auditor’s work thereon, they should obtain a copy of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2026. The directors are responsible for the preparation of the Summary Consolidated Annual Financial Statements and for accurately extracting the information from the underlying audited consolidated financial statements. 2 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT The Group’s property, plant and equipment increased from R8 542.2 million at 30 June 2025 to R11 918.4 million at 30 June 2026 as the Group progresses with its capital expansion programme at Ergo Mining Proprietary Limited (“Ergo”) and at Far West Gold Recoveries Proprietary Limited (“FWGR”). Contractual commitments not provided for at 30 June 2026 amounted to R1 807.0 million (30 June 2025: R 2 308.2 million). On 2 December 2025, DRDGOLD and Sibanye Gold Proprietary Limited (“Sibanye Gold”) signed an agreement to transfer ownership of the Kloof 2 dump, associated rehabilitation liability and trust fund monies to FWGR. The transfer is in accordance with the initial exchange agreement, concluded in 2018, for the acquisition of FWGR by the DRDGOLD Group. The dump and associated environmental rehabilitation liability have been transferred. The rehabilitation trust fund monies remain with Sibanye Gold until regulatory approvals have been obtained. A receivable of R117.4 million has been recognised pending transfer of the monies. 3 CURRENT TAX AND DEFERRED TAX Amounts in R million 2026 2025 Current tax charge 496.2 — Deferred tax charge 979.3 824.4 Deferred tax rate adjustment 151.5 — Income Tax 1 627.0 824.4 Current tax charge relates mainly to Ergo as a result of increased profit for the year and unredeemed capital being fully utilised. The Group’s deferred tax liability increased from R1 781.8 million at 30 June 2025 to R2 900.4 million at 30 June 2026 mainly due to the increased mining capital expenditure being fully deductible against income. The forecast weighted average deferred tax rate of Ergo increased from 25% to 27%, while the forecast weighted average deferred tax rate of FWGR increased from 29% to 30%. These increases were mainly as a result of an increase in profitability which was primarily driven by the increase in forecast gold prices.

5 PROVISION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL REHABILITATION continued (a) Addition of environmental rehabilitation liability recognised to related asset On 2 December 2025, DRDGOLD and Sibanye Gold signed an agreement to transfer ownership of the Kloof 2 dump, associated rehabilitation liability and trust fund monies to FWGR. The transfer is in accordance with the initial exchange agreement, concluded in 2018, for the acquisition of FWGR by the DRDGOLD Group. The dump and associated environmental rehabilitation liability have been transferred. The rehabilitation trust fund monies remain with Sibanye Gold until regulatory approvals have been obtained. A receivable of R117.4 million has been recognised pending transfer of the monies. (b) Change in estimate of environmental rehabilitation liability recognised in profit or loss The decrease was as a result of the rescheduling of non-viable dumps at Ergo. Decrease is mainly as a result of Crown Complex being classified as Mineral Reserve and now included in the Life of Mine, resulting in a change in its rehabilitation methodology, from in situ to red earth footprint rehabilitation (c) Change in estimate of environmental rehabilitation liability recognised to related asset The increase was primarily due to inflationary increases in rehabilitation costs, higher demolition rates for plant infrastructure and the expansion of FWGR infrastructure. (d) Environmental rehabilitation payments 36.8ha of the Brakpan TSF and 6.0ha of the Driefontein 4 TSF were vegetated/cladded during the year.

6 INVESTMENT IN RAND REFINERY (PTY) LTD ("RAND REFINERY") The fair value of DRDGOLD’s 11.3% interest in Rand Refinery at 30 June 2026 is estimated at R522.6 million (30 June 2025: R302.0 million). In accordance with IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, the income approach has been established to be the most appropriate basis to estimate the fair value of the investment in Rand Refinery. This method relies on the future budgeted cash flows as estimated by Rand Refinery. Management used a model developed by an external expert to perform the valuation. Rand Refinery’s refining operations (excluding Prestige Bullion) were valued using the Free Cash Flow model, whereby an enterprise value using a Gordon Growth formula for the terminal value was estimated. The fair value of Rand Refinery increased as a result of an increase in the enterprise value of the refining operations of Rand Refinery. The enterprise value of Rand Refinery’s refining operations increased due to higher-than-budgeted metal gains and a significant increase in forecast commodity prices. The fair value measurement uses significant unobservable inputs and relates to a fair value hierarchy level 3 financial instrument. Marketability and minority discounts (both unobservable inputs) of 15.4% and 15.6% (30 June 2025: 15.3% and 16.9%), respectively, were applied. The latest budgeted cash flow forecasts provided by Rand Refinery as at 30 June 2026 were used, and therefore classified as an unobservable input into the models. Amounts in R million 2026 2025 Reconciliation of investment in Rand Refinery Balance at the beginning of the year 302.0 166.8 Fair value adjustment on equity investments at fair value through other comprehensive income 220.6 135.2 Balance at the end of the year 522.6 302.0 Dividends received — 56.3 Key observable/unobservable inputs into the model include: Unit 2026 2025 Rand Refinery operations Average gold price1 R/kg 2 273 530 1 620 480 Average silver price1 R/kg 32 795 18 598 Average South African CPI1 % 4.9 4.5 Terminal growth rate2 % 2.4 4.5 South African long-term government bond rate1 % 8.4 9.7 Weighted average cost of capital2 % 15.8 16.0 1 Observable input. 2 Unobservable input. The fair value measurement is most sensitive to the ZAR denominated gold price and weighted average cost of capital. The higher the gold price, the higher the fair value of the Rand Refinery investment. The higher the weighted average cost of capital, the lower the fair value of the Rand Refinery investment. The fair value measurement is also sensitive to the operating costs, minority and marketability discounts applied. The table below indicates the extent of sensitivity of the Rand Refinery equity value to the inputs: Rand Refinery sensitivity analysis Increase/ (decrease) 2026 2025 Change in OCI, net of tax: Rand US Dollar exchange rate1 1%/(1%) 8.1/(8.1) 6.9 /(6.9) Commodity prices (gold and silver)1 1%/(1%) 7.5/(7.5) 6.0 /(6.0) Operating costs2 1%/(1%) (5.4)/5.4 (4.7)/ 4.7 Weighted average cost of capital2 1%/(1%) (18.6)/18.6 (13.3)/ 13.3 Minority discount2 1%/(1%) (6.2)/6.2 (3.6)/ 3.6 Marketability2 1%/(1%) (6.2)/6.2 (3.5)/ 3.5 1 Observable input 2 Unobservable input DRDGOLD Notice of Annual General Meeting 2026 17 ANNEXURE 1 - SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued Notes to the summary consolidated annual financial statements continued for the year ended 30 June 2026

DIVIDENDS DECLARED AND PAID 2026 2025 Dividends declared during the year: Final dividend paid relating to prior year: 40 SA cents per share (FY2025: 20 SA cents per share) 345.7 172.3 Interim dividend: 50 SA cents per share (FY2025: 30 SA cents per share) 433.6 258.7 Total 779.3 431.0 8 SUBSIDIARY HELD FOR SALE Stellar Energy Solutions Proprietary Limited (“Stellar”) is a renewable energy company with a project to develop a 150MW solar plant in Polokwane, Limpopo. On 18 August 2025, Ergo’s shareholding was increased to 89.94% from 50.25%, through conversion of its short term credit facility into equity. On 17 November 2025, Ergo acquired the minority shareholding, increasing the shareholding in Stellar to 100%. Following a strategic review, the Board decided to sell Ergo’s share in Stellar to focus on the Group’s core mining activities. The sale was concluded on 23 December 2025 to NOA Group Assets Proprietary Limited (the “NOA Group”), for a total cash consideration of R147.5 million. Concurrent with the disposal, an electricity supply agreement was entered into with the NOA Group to procure 76GWh per annum of renewable energy, with supply expected to commence in January 2028. 9 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK COMMODITY PRICE SENSITIVITY The group’s profitability and cash flows are primarily affected by changes in the market price of gold, which is sold in US Dollars and then converted to Rand. The Group's policy is to remain an unhedged gold producer and, accordingly, it does not ordinarily enter into forward gold sales contracts to hedge exposure to movements in the US dollar gold price or exchange rates. In circumstances where medium-term debt is raised to fund growth projects, the Group may enter into price protection arrangements to mitigate consequential liquidity risk. No such contracts were entered into during the current reporting period. LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT The Group monitors available cash and cash equivalent balances and facilities to ensure there is sufficient capital for forecasted expenditures including capital requirements. Cash and cash equivalents (excluding restricted cash) as at 30 June 2026 is R2 755.9 million (2025: R1 293.0 million). The Group remains debt free as at 30 June 2026 (2025: Nil). To fund the significant capital expansion programme at both operations, on 28 June 2024, DRDGOLD secured a R500.0 million General Banking Facility (“GBF”) with Nedbank. The GBF was increased to include a guarantees facility of R181.0 million (increased to R120.0 million in 2025), bringing the total GBF facility to R681.0 million (2025: R620.0 million). The revolving credit facility (“RCF”) of R1.0 billion, with an accordion facility of R500.0 million, is secured with Nedbank. Other than the guarantees facility that has been fully utilised, both the GBF and RCF remain undrawn as at 30 June 2026 and 30 June 2025. Details of the facilities are disclosed in note 12 of the consolidated annual financial statements. The RCF permitted an interest cover ratio (adjusted EBITDA to net finance charges) of no more than 4:1 and a leverage ratio (total net debt to adjusted EBITDA) of no less than 2:1 calculated on a twelve-month rolling basis, respectively. Management monitors the covenant ratio levels to ensure compliance with the covenants, as well as maintain sufficient facilities to ensure satisfactory liquidity for the Group. 10 FAIR VALUES The Group’s assets that are measured at fair value at the reporting date consist of equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income and are included in other investments on the statement of financial position. Of this line item, R22.0 million (2025: R11.2 million) relates to fair value hierarchy level 1 instruments. This balance increased as a result of an increase in the share price of West Wits Mining Limited. R545.0 million (2025: R311.3 million) relates to fair value hierarchy level 3 instruments, mainly the investment in Rand Refinery, as referred to in note 6. Investment in rehabilitation and other funds are classified as fair value level 2 instruments. They consist of funds held within the Guard Risk Cell Captive and invested in diversified hybrid interest-bearing income and hedge funds of low to medium risk, held in Anchor Capital.

11 OPERATING SEGMENTS The Group has one material revenue stream, the sale of gold to South African Bullion banks. The following summary describes the operations in the Group’s reportable operating segments: Ergo is a surface gold retreatment operation which treats old slime dams and sand dumps to the south of Johannesburg’s central business district as well as the East and Central Rand goldfields. The operation comprises three plants and a solar plant with a BESS. The Ergo Plant operates as a metallurgical plant and the City Deep and Knights plants as pump/milling stations feeding the Ergo Plant. FWGR is a surface gold retreatment operation which treats old slime dams in the West Rand goldfields. The operation comprises the Driefontein 2 plant and relevant infrastructure to process tailings from the Driefontein 5 and 3 slimes dam and deposit residues on the Driefontein 4 TSF. Corporate office and other reconciling items (collectively referred to as “Other reconciling items”) represent the items to reconcile to the consolidated financial statements. This does not represent a separate segment as it does not generate mining revenue.

Irrespective of the form of instrument used to appoint a proxy, the appointment of a proxy is suspended at any time and to the extent that the relevant shareholder chooses to act directly and in person in the exercise of any of such shareholder’s rights as a shareholder. 3. Any appointment by a shareholder of a proxy is revocable, unless the form of instrument used to appoint such proxy states otherwise. 4. If an appointment of a proxy is revocable, a shareholder may revoke the proxy appointment by (i) cancelling it in writing, or making a later inconsistent appointment of a proxy and (ii) delivering a copy of the revocation instrument to the proxy and to the relevant company. 5. A proxy appointed by a shareholder is entitled to exercise, or abstain from exercising, any voting right of such shareholder without direction, except to the extent that the relevant company’s memorandum of incorporation, or the instrument appointing the proxy, provides otherwise. 6. If the instrument appointing a proxy has been delivered by a shareholder to a company, then, for so long as that appointment remains in effect, any notice that is required in terms of the Companies Act or such company’s memorandum of incorporation to be delivered to a shareholder must be delivered by such company to: 6.1 the relevant shareholder; or 6.2 the proxy or proxies, if the relevant shareholder has: (i) directed such company to do so, in writing and (ii) paid any reasonable fee charged by such company for doing so. 7. If a company issues an invitation to its shareholders to appoint 1 (one) or more persons named by the company as a proxy, or supplies a form of proxy instrument: 7.1 the invitation must be sent to every shareholder entitled to notice of the meeting at which the proxy is intended to be exercised; 7.2 the invitation or form of proxy instrument supplied by the company must: 7.2.1 bear a reasonably prominent summary of the rights established in section 58 of the Act; 7.2.2 contain adequate blank space, immediately preceding the name(s) of any person(s) named in it, to enable a shareholder to write the name and, if desired, an alternative name of a proxy chosen by the shareholder; and 7.2.3 provide adequate space for the shareholder to indicate whether the appointed proxy is to vote in favour of or against any resolution(s) to be put at the meeting, or is to abstain from voting; 8. the company must not require that the proxy appointment be made irrevocable; and 9. the proxy appointment remains valid only until the end of the meeting at which it was intended to be used.
