Notice is given that the 2022 Annual General Meeting of DRA Global Limited ACN 622 581 935 ("DRA" or the "Company") will be held in person on Tuesday, 17 May 2022 at 3pm Perth time / 9am Johannesburg time in both Perth (at Level 8, 256 Adelaide Terrace, Perth WA) and Johannesburg (at Building 33, Woodlands Office Park, 20 Woodlands Drive, Woodlands, Sandton, Gauteng 2080).

Dear Shareholders

I am pleased to invite you to the 2022 Annual General Meeting of DRA Global Limited, to be held on Tuesday, 17 May 2022 at 3pm (Perth time) / 9am (Johannesburg time) and with a live webcast accessible atDRA AGM.

Despite COVID-19 continuing to impact us all, I hope that all Shareholders will have the opportunity to attend this year's AGM. For those unable to attend in person, there is the opportunity to view the live webcast. All Shareholders are able to vote prior to the AGM by lodging a proxy form in accordance with the instructions contained in the notice of meeting if they cannot attend.

We were no exception to the ravages of COVID-19. It had a major impact on our business. Most importantly, we mourn the loss of the much-valued employees who we lost to COVID-19, and we share in the grief of their families.

DRA had a significant year in FY2021.

Our most notable achievement was the successful public listing on the Australian Securities and Johannesburg Stock Exchanges. Reaching this milestone honours a commitment made to our shareholders in 2016. It provides DRA with a platform for future international growth and diversification. It marks a watershed in DRA's history, transitioning from an owner-managed business, with a predominantly local focus, to a publicly listed global organisation, where the public and institutional investors can participate in our future success. I thank the team involved for their impressive work in achieving this goal.

Our group results for 2021 were pleasing, particularly considering the obvious negative impacts of the pandemic. Our teams were able to achieve record revenues with a solid profit performance despite significant interruptions to work and shortages of resources and supplies. Our EMEA and AMER businesses performed admirably, underpinning our profits. APAC was a challenging operating environment, compounded by the pandemic and poor legacy decisions. The result in APAC was disappointing, predominantly related to certain construction projects. The performance of some projects put a strain on the wider APAC business and, understandably, this has been a cause for concern for many employee shareholders. The Board and Management are committed to creating a successful business in APAC.

Unfortunately, many of the positives we wanted to focus on from 2021 have been overshadowed by a series of events that followed the release of our results. These events fall outside of our reporting period but cannot be ignored. They were a culmination of stresses and frustrations that had been building in our business for some time and arose predominantly from the way we managed the transition from an employee-owned entity to a publicly listed company, along with all the governance and reporting requirements that this entails. Our path to a listed globalised business left some employee shareholders questioning the benefits of being a global business. The performance in APAC compounded those concerns.

These matters came to a head in February of this year with the lodgement of a Section 249D notice calling on the Board to hold a general meeting to change the composition of the Board. In responding to this matter (and

NOTICE OF 2022 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

For personal use only

with minimal interference to DRA's core operations) the Board made the decision to temporarily stand aside five senior executives and to place the company's shares in a trading halt, pending leadership changes and a resolved position forward. During this time, the Board and the executive team worked together to develop a plan that would return DRA to stability and that was in the best interests of the future of DRA. While requiring further development, the plan presented by the executives to the Board does not alter the strategic direction of DRA and has, in broad terms, been endorsed and committed to by the Board, and its implementation has already begun. The plan, which the CEO, Andrew Naude, collaborated on and presented to the Board, proposed, among other things, his departure. At the time of going to print, the separation discussions are ongoing.

These recent events have been bruising for all involved and have been an unfortunate distraction from what has otherwise been a noteworthy financial period for DRA. Lessons have been learned by all and I believe that, going forward, we will be a more collaborative, open and transparent organisation. This will foster the culture, values and entrepreneurial spirit we need to succeed - a solid platform to reap the benefits of being a global organisation, but remaining strong and locally focussed in every country in which we operate.

More recently, one of our shareholders made an application to the Australian Government Takeovers Panel requesting interim orders to place restrictions on the shares held by a group of DRA shareholders and more extensive final orders. Almost all submissions to the Takeovers Panel have been lodged and the Panel is about to begin considering the merits of the application. While DRA is only involved to a limited extent in the proceedings, the Board has cooperated fully in the process, where required.

The Board has listened and has already addressed many of the concerns raised. As a publicly listed company corporate controls and governance are essential, but we are already moving to a form of corporate governance (with the appropriate Corporate Office), suitable for DRA's operations.

We have moved through difficult times but, at our core, we have a solid and exciting organisation with deep and unique skills. The performance of the APAC business can be resolved and the Board has an optimistic view of DRA's future in Australia. In our EMEA, Minopex and Americas businesses, we are doing very well with current projects and a strong pipeline of new work coming in. The markets in which we operate are buoyant and the talents of our people and subject matter experts are in demand. Our management team has exciting plans for our growth initiatives in the fields of Advisory Services, Sustainability and Underground Mining. We have the best people in the industry working at DRA and they have the skills and expertise to lead us forward.

We are committed to keeping an open dialogue with you and I thank you all for your support and understanding during this time.

Yours faithfully

Peter Mansell Chairman
