RNS Number : 4919Q  Gem Diamonds Limited  28 June 2022

28 June 2022

GEM DIAMONDS LIMITED

("Gem Diamonds" or the "Company")

Notification of transactions by a PDMR

The Company announces that on 23 June 2022, Clifford Elphick, Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, exercised options (the "Nil Cost options") to acquire
150,725 ordinary shares of US$ 0.01 each in the Company (the "Option Shares").
The Nil Cost options were issued pursuant to the Gem Diamonds Employee Share
Option Plan 2017.

The Company further announces that during the period 23 June 2022 to 27 June
2022, Mr Elphick sold 109,382 Option Shares in order to realise the value
allocated to him under his remuneration package. The remainder of the Option
Shares are in the process of being sold and a further notification in this
regard will follow once the sale has been finalised. Mr Elphick's exercise of
the Nil Cost options and subsequent sale of the Option Shares will have no net
effect on the number ordinary shares in the Company held by him prior to
exercise of the Nil Cost options. Mr Elphick's founder shareholding will
remain at the same level as it was prior to the exercise of the Nil Cost
options once the remainder of the Option Shares acquired have been sold, as
demonstrated in the below table.
