(“Prosus” or “the Company”)
Share repurchase programme
Prosus will commence an on-market share repurchase programme of Prosus’s ordinary shares N (the “Ordinary Shares”) for a total consideration of up to US$5bn from its free-float shareholders (the “Programme”) in support of delivering the overall benefits of the Prosus voluntary share exchange offer to Naspers Limited N ordinary shareholders completed on 16 August 2021.
Prosus has appointed an intermediary to execute the Programme within parameters set by it, allowing the execution of the Programme during open and closed periods. During closed periods, the intermediary will make its trading decisions independently from, and uninfluenced by, Prosus.
The Programme will commence on 23 August 2021 and end on 19 August 2022, or sooner if the maximum consideration under the Programme is reached before then. The total consideration includes costs and related taxes. Prosus intends to cancel the Ordinary Shares repurchased by it under the Programme in due course, so as to reduce its issued share capital.
The Programme will be implemented in accordance with, and subject to, applicable law and regulations, as well as the authority granted by Prosus’s shareholders on 9 July 2021, as renewed from time to time, including as to the maximum number of shares that can be repurchased under the Programme.
Prosus will provide weekly updates on the Programme in accordance with the Market Abuse Regulation (as defined below) by means of press releases and announcements on the JSE’s Stock Exchange News Service (SENS), and, together with details on a daily basis, on the Prosus website (www.prosus.com).
