DRDGold CEO explains why the company decided to sell a stake to Sibanye-Stillwater for R1.3bn – an amount (and deal) some analysts are concerned about.

In The Interest Of Shareholders

anyone can be a CEO; you can be the CEO of your corner shop if you want to,” says Niël Pretorius, who actually doesn’t sell vegetables or cigarettes, but happens to be the CEO of a surface gold retreatment company, DRDGold.

The reference is to criticism he received earlier this year for deciding to sell a stake in the business to Sibanye-Stillwater for R1.3bn.

Leon Esterhuizen, an analyst for Nedbank Securities, observed that the transaction, conducted on the basis of a share ratio, undervalued DRDGold. Within two years, Sibanye-Stillwater also has the option of taking its stake in DRDGold up to 50.1% from the current 38% holding at a 10% discount to the 30-day volume weighted average trading price of DRDGold shares.
