LONDON, 14 DECEMBER 2023


In accordance with AIM Rule 17, shareholders are advised that Gemfields has issued and allotted
471,377 new ordinary shares of USD0.00001 each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") following
the exercise of share options by Kartikeya Parikshya (a person discharging managerial
responsibilities, or “PDMR”).

Mr Parikshya has exercised 471,377 share options at an exercise price of ZAR2.97 per Ordinary
Share. A further announcement will be made once the shares have been sold. Following the above
transactions, Mr Parikshya will own 45,000 Ordinary Shares, representing 0.004 per cent of the
Company.

Applications have been made for the 471,377 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on
AIM and the JSE, both of which are expected to occur on or around 18 December 2023
("Admission").

Following Admission there will be 1,222,389,481 Ordinary Shares in issue, including treasury
shares. Following Admission the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury shares) that carry
the right to one vote per Ordinary Share will be 1,166,695,130. This is also the total voting rights
figure which may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they
can determine whether they are required to notify their interests in, or a change to their interest in
the Company.
