Petra Diamonds Limited publishes the Company's Payments to Governments Report for the year ended 30 June 2025 (the Year or FY 2025) (the Report).
This Report has been prepared to comply with Petra's reporting obligations under DTR 4.3A of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules and has been prepared in accordance with the United Kingdom Report on Payments to Governments Regulations 2014 (as amended) (the Regulations).
For the purposes of this Report, "government" includes any national, regional or local authority of a country, and includes a department, agency or entity that is a subsidiary of a government. It excludes any payments to state owned enterprises to procure goods or services from these enterprises, typically consisting of utilities such as water and electricity.

In line with the guidance provided in the Regulations, payments made as a single payment, or as a series of related payments, that are equal to or below £ 86,000 (US\$ 111,295) may be omitted. Petra however has elected to voluntarily report on payments below this threshold and which fall within the scope of the operations and countries referred to below.
The payments have been reported in US\$. Payments made in currencies other than US\$ (GBP and ZAR) were translated at the relevant annual average rate for the year ended 30 June 2025, which were as follows:
Certain financial data have been rounded and as a result of this rounding, the totals of data presented in this document may vary slightly from the actual arithmetical totals of such data.
