DEALINGS IN SECURITIES BY A DIRECTOR

In compliance with paragraphs 3.63 to 3.74 of the JSE Limited ("JSE") Listings Requirements and paragraphs 6.45
to 6.56 of the JSE Debt and Specialist Securities Listings Requirements, the following information is disclosed.

Shareholders and noteholders are referred to the announcement released on the Stock Exchange News Service
of the JSE on 30 November 2023 which, in turn, referred to a prior announcement, dated 31 May 2019, regarding
hedging transactions entered into by Mr Adrian Gore over a portion of his shareholding in Discovery. These
hedging transactions were related to funding arrangements entered into in order to follow various rights offers
and subscriptions for Discovery shares over time.

The collar arrangement forming part of the hedging transactions, which included call options on the shares, has
now reached maturity. The current Discovery share price at the collar's maturity is higher than the strike price
on the call options, leading to the sale of shares. Importantly, these sales pertain solely to a subset of Mr Gore's
shareholding subject to the collar arrangement, with no additional shares involved.

In addition, shareholders and noteholders are now advised that Mr Gore has entered into replacement hedging
transactions, as disclosed below.
