Naspers Limited ("Naspers") (JSE: NPN): Shareholders are advised that the company’s integrated annual report and annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023 will be available on the company’s website www.naspers.com, Tuesday 27 June 2023.

The notice, together with the proxy form, of the virtual annual general meeting will be distributed to shareholders at a later date and in accordance with the South African Companies Act 71 of 2008, as amended. The annual general meeting is expected to be held at 14:00 on Thursday 24 August 2023.

Dividend

Further to the summarised consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023 as released on SENS and the company’s website www.naspers.com, the Prosus N.V. board has recommended that, in total, its shareholders receive a distribution of a gross amount of approximately €175m which represents an increase of approximately 7% for free-float shareholders. Subject to the requisite approval by Prosus shareholders being obtained, a dividend will be paid by Naspers in relation to the Naspers N ordinary shares and A ordinary shares from the amount that Naspers receives from Prosus, in accordance with the rights attaching to the shares as set out in the Naspers memorandum of incorporation. The Naspers dividends will be paid in South African rand. Given the weakening of the rand against the euro, the expected year-on-year increase in the dividends is higher than in the recent past.

The board of Naspers intends to declare the dividend as soon as practicable.

Shareholders are further advised that Naspers’s annual compliance certificate for the 2023 financial year in terms of section 13G(2) of the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act has been published and is also available on the Company’s website, www.naspers.com
