Item 17 o Item 18 x EXPLANATORY NOTE DRDGOLD Limited (the "Company") is filing this Amendment No. 2 on Form 20-F/A ("Amendment No. 2") to its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on November 29, 2004 and amended on December 3, 2004 (the "Form 20-F") solely to add a third paragraph to Item 9C. "Markets," disclosing that the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ("Nasdaq") has granted the Company an exemption from the Nasdaq's quorum requirements for shareholder meetings. Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), this Amendment No. 2 contains the complete text of Item 9C, as amended, as well as currently dated certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The remainder of the Form 20-F is unchanged and is not reproduced in this Amendment No. 2. This Amendment No. 2 does not reflect any events occurring after December 3, 2004, the filing date of Amendment No.1 to the Form 20-F, which include events described in the Company's current reports on Form 6-K filed after the original filing date, including the Forms 6-K filed on February 15, March 8 and March 22, 2005. No other information included in the Form 20-F, including the Company's financial statements and the footnotes thereto, has been modified or updated. This Amendment should be read together with other documents that the Company has filed with the Commission subsequent to December 3, 2004. ITEM 9C. MARKETS Nature of Trading Markets The principal trading market for our equity securities is the JSE and the Australian Stock Exchange, or ASX, and our ADSs that trade on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market in the form of ADRs under the symbol "DROOY." Our ordinary shares trade on the JSE under the symbol "DUR." Our ordinary shares also trade on the LSE (symbol: DBNR), the Marche Libre on the Paris Bourse (symbol: DUR), Brussels Bourse (symbol: DUR) in the form of International Depository Receipts, Port Moresby Stock Exchange (symbol: DUR) and ASX (symbol: DRD). The ordinary shares also trade on the over the counter markets in Berlin, Stuttgart and the Regulated Unofficial Market on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The ADRs are issued by The Bank of New York, as depositary. Each ADR represents one ADS. Each ADS represents one of our ordinary shares. Prior to February 2001, our ADSs traded on the Nasdaq National Market. Nasdaq Exemptions Exemption from the shareholder approval requirements Between August and December 2003, the Company entered into a series of discounted issuances with several different investors resulting in the issuance of ordinary shares, and securities convertible into ordinary shares, totaling 46,843,902, or 25.43% of the total shares outstanding on a pre-issuance basis. Included within those issuances, on December 12, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement granting Investec the option to acquire 10.2 million ordinary shares. The Company requested an exemption from Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(i)(1)(D) in reliance upon Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(a). Rule 4350(i)(1)(D) provides that shareholder approval is required upon issuing 20% or more of the common stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance for less than the greater of book or market value of the stock. Nasdaq granted this exemption on the basis that the shareholder approval requirements of Rule 4350(i)(1)(D) are contrary to generally accepted business practices of companies located in South Africa. The South African Companies Act of 1973 (as amended) requires issuers to obtain shareholder approval before the issuance of any shares or rights to shares, which approval can be provided by specific authority or a general authority granted by means of a resolution passed by shareholders in a general meeting. JSE Listing Requirements require 75% shareholder approval for any issuance of shares for cash. JSE Listing Requirements do, however, permit an issuer to issue shares for cash under a general authority granted by its shareholders, but not in excess of 15% of the company's total issued share capital during any financial year under that authority, or the general authority. In terms of the specific issuances for which the Company received the exemption from Nasdaq described above, there was no JSE requirement that would mandate specific shareholder approval for these transactions. The JSE Listing Requirements accept a general authority by our shareholders under certain circumstances. The shareholders had approved a general authority which covered the relevant transactions by resolutions passed at the Company's annual general meetings in November 2003. In addition, included in the shares issued for cash were approximately 24.4 million shares to the value of R435.5 million ($63.1 million) which were used for the acquisition of the Porgera Joint Venture. Approval was obtained from the JSE to deem these shares to be a vendor placing. Exemption from quorum requirements for shareholder meetings Nasdaq's Marketplace Rule 4350(f) states that the minimum quorum for any meeting of holders of an issuer's common stock must be no less than 33 1/3% of the issuer's outstanding shares. Consistent with the practice of companies incorporated in South Africa, the Company's articles of association only require a quorum of three members. As a result, and in connection with the listing of the Company's ADSs on the Nasdaq National Market in July 1996, the Company requested, and in October 1996 Nasdaq granted, an exemption from compliance with the Rule 4350(f) quorum requirement.
