Removal of the Cross-Holding Structure

On 27 June 2023, the board of directors of Naspers (the Naspers Board) and the board
of directors of Prosus N.V. (Prosus) announced that Naspers and Prosus (together with
their consolidated subsidiaries, the Group) intend to implement a proposed transaction in
terms of which the cross-holding structure between Naspers and Prosus will be removed
(the Proposed Transaction).

Shareholders are advised that further information pertaining to the Proposed Transaction
in relation to Naspers is set out in the Naspers Circular that Naspers has posted to
Shareholders today, on 26 July 2023, simultaneously with the Notice of Annual General
Meeting, made available on Naspers’ website at www.naspers.com/investors/shareholder-
centre/shareholder-meetings.

The shareholder resolutions that must be approved by the Shareholders in order to
implement the Proposed Transaction, are set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.
Voting on the matters necessary to implement the Proposed Transaction in so far as it
relates to Naspers will consequently take place at the Annual General Meeting.

Shareholders are advised to read the Naspers Circular carefully and in its entirety. Any
decision to approve the shareholder resolutions pertaining to the Proposed Transaction at
the Annual General Meeting should be made only on the basis of the information in the
Naspers Circular and/or the Notice of Annual General Meeting.

Subject to obtaining the requisite approvals of the shareholders of Prosus (Prosus
Shareholders) and the Shareholders, further details pertaining to the implementation of
the Proposed Transaction, including the applicable salient dates and times for
implementation of the Proposed Transaction, will be outlined in a declaration and
finalisation announcement to be released by Naspers following the Annual General
Meeting.

Dividend Declaration

Subject to the requisite approvals being obtained from Prosus Shareholders in relation to
the distribution referred to in the SENS announcement released by Prosus on 12 July 2023,
a dividend will be paid by Naspers in relation to the Naspers N ordinary shares and A
ordinary shares from the amount that Naspers will receive from Prosus, in accordance with
the rights attaching to the shares as set out in the Naspers memorandum of incorporation,
as amended. The Naspers dividends will be paid in South African rand.

The Naspers Board intends to declare the dividend as soon as practicable.

Repurchase Programme

Shareholders are referred to the various announcements that have been released
pertaining to the ongoing, open-ended repurchase of Naspers N ordinary shares, which
commenced on 27 June 2022 (the Repurchase Programme).

In order to have a stable share count for purposes of the Proposed Transaction and the
dividend referred to above, it is expected that the Repurchase Programme will be
temporarily suspended for a short period immediately before these events, in order to
allow for efficient and effective implementation of the Proposed Transaction and the
dividend. The Repurchase Programme will resume after each suspension and Shareholders
will be updated accordingly.

The Group will also continue to provide weekly updates on the Repurchase Programme by
means of press releases and announcements on SENS and on the Naspers website
(www.naspers.com).

Forward-looking statements

This announcement contains statements about Prosus and/or Naspers that are, or may be, forward-
looking statements. All statements (other than statements of historical fact) are, or may be deemed
to be, forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those concerning: strategy; the
economic outlook for the industries in which Prosus and/or Naspers operates or invests as well as
markets generally; production; cash costs and other operating results; growth prospects and outlook
for operations and/or investments, individually or in the aggregate; liquidity, capital resources and
expenditure, statements in relation to the approval by shareholders or implementation of the
Proposed Transaction and/or the benefits of the Proposed Transaction. These forward-looking
statements are not based on historical facts, but rather reflect current expectations concerning
future results and events and generally may be identified by the use of forward-looking words or
phrases such as "believe", "aim", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "foresee", "forecast", "likely",
"should", "planned", "may", "estimated", "potential" or similar words and phrases. Examples of
forward-looking statements include statements regarding a future financial position or future profits,
cash flows, corporate strategy, implementation of the Proposed Transaction and/or the benefits of
the Proposed Transaction, anticipated levels of growth, estimates of capital expenditures, acquisition
and investment strategy, expansion prospects or future capital expenditure levels and other
economic factors, such as, among others, growth, and interest rates.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties
because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future.
Prosus and Naspers caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance. Actual results, financial and operating conditions, returns and the developments within
the industries and markets in which Prosus and/or Naspers operates and/or invests may differ
materially from those made in, or suggested by, the forward-looking statements contained in this
announcement. All these forward-looking statements are based on estimates, predictions, and
assumptions, as regards Prosus or Naspers, all of which estimates, predictions, and assumptions,
although Prosus and Naspers believe them to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain and may not
eventuate or eventuate in the manner Prosus and Naspers expect. Factors which may cause the
actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied in those statements or assumptions include
matters not yet known to Prosus and Naspers or not currently considered material by Prosus and
Naspers.

Shareholders should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made in this announcement
or elsewhere is applicable only at the date on which such forward-looking statement is made. New
factors that could cause the business of Prosus or Naspers not to develop as expected may emerge
from time to time and it is not possible to predict all of them. Further, the extent to which any factor
or combination of factors may cause actual results, performance, or achievement to differ materially
from those contained in any forward-looking statement is not known. Prosus and Naspers have no
duty to, and do not intend to, update, or revise the forward-looking statements contained in this
announcement or any other information herein, except as may be required by law. Any forward-
looking statement has not been.
