Purchaser.
The Transaction comprises the Part A Sale and the Part B Sale. In terms of the Part A Sale, the Sale Claims
are sold to the Purchaser and in terms of the Part B Sale, the Sale Shares are sold to the Purchaser.

no outstanding conditions precedent to the Part A Sale (“Part A Conditions Precedent”) and the Parties will
proceed with the implementation of the Part A Sale.
Pursuant to the Part A Sale, DRDGOLD will:
     transfer the Sale Claims to the Purchaser and Village will issue 85 714 286 new Village ordinary
shares (“Consideration Shares”) to DRDGOLD, on the basis that 65 714 286 of the Consideration
Shares will be held directly by DRDGOLD whilst the remaining 20 000 000 Consideration Shares will
