Distribution of Circular and Notice of EGM
LONDON, 31 OCTOBER 2022
Shareholders of Gemfields (“Shareholders”) are referred to the Company’s announcement on 29
September 2022 where it was noted that the board of directors of the Company (“Board”) had
approved and would seek shareholder approval for a general share buy-back programme of up to
USD 10 million (the “Share Buy-Back”).
The Board is of the view that the Share Buy-Back represents an opportunity to promote Gemfields’
financial success and is a good use of surplus cash, on the basis that Gemfields is able to invest in
itself at an attractive, low enterprise valuation and simultaneously enhance future earnings per share
for the benefit of Shareholders.

The Company has today distributed a circular to Shareholders containing a notice of extraordinary
general meeting (“EGM”) to be held on Wednesday, 30 November 2022 at 14:00 (GMT)/ 16:00
(South African Standard Time) for the purpose of considering and, if deemed fit, passing with or
without modification, the resolutions required to approve the Share Buy-Back. The EGM will be
held at Gemfields’ office at 1 Cathedral Piazza, London, SW1E 5BP.
