New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of South African stocks, typically moving 11% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 35% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (48% increase in shares outstanding). Tillkännagivande • Apr 10
Gemfields Releases Updated 'G-Factor for Natural Resources' Figures to 31 December 2025 Gemfields confirmed its 'G-Factor for Natural Resources' figures for the Kagem emerald mine in Zambia and Montepuez Ruby Mining in Mozambique, which now stand at 17% and 26% respectively for the 10-year period from 2016 through 2025. The 'G-Factor for Natural Resources' reveals the percentage of natural resource revenue paid to the government of the host country in the form of mineral royalties, corporation tax and, where the relevant government is a shareholder, dividends. First announced in 2021, Gemfields shares its 'G-Factor for Natural Resources' annually in an effort to promote greater transparency and accountability regarding the level of natural resource wealth shared with the host country's government, whether that value originates from the mining, oil, gas, timber or fishing sectors. It is also an indicator of the efficiency of natural resources companies in converting those natural resources into funds for the host government. In Mozambique, Montepuez Ruby Mining paid 23% of its revenue to the Government of Mozambique in 2025. Although total cash payments were lower than in prior years - reflecting reduced premium-ruby output, the postponed December ruby auction and illegal-mining intrusions - the proportional fiscal contribution remained strong. At Kagem in Zambia, the one-year G-Factor for Natural Resources was just 6% for 2025, far below its long-term average. This reflects the halt in mining operations at Kagem from January through April 2025 as a result of competitor actions in the market and the temporary 15% export tax on precious gemstones, which was lifted by March 2025. With operations restarted and market conditions improving, it expect Kagem's G-Factor to trend back toward its long-term average of around 18%. Reported Earnings • Mar 27

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: R1.64b (US$95.5m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 35% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (48% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (8.4% average weekly change).

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 48% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 0.6% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (48% increase in shares outstanding). Tillkännagivande • Jun 13

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 0.6% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (12% average weekly change). Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Paying a dividend despite being loss-making. Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows.

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: R1.4m This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 150% Cash payout ratio: 149% Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (7.4% average weekly change). Large one-off items impacting financial results.
