CASH VALUE OF FRACTIONAL ENTITLEMENTS TO NASPERS "N" ORDINARY SHARES
PURSUANT TO THE NASPERS N SHARE CAPITALISATION ISSUE
Shareholders are referred to the circular issued by the Company on Friday, 19 July 2019 in relation
to, amongst other things, the Capitalisation Issue (Circular). Unless otherwise indicated, capitalised
words and terms contained in this announcement shall bear the same meanings ascribed thereto in
the Circular.
As set out in the Circular, only whole numbers of Naspers N Ordinary Shares and Naspers M Ordinary
Shares will be issued in terms of the Capitalisation Issue and where fractional entitlements to Naspers N
Ordinary Shares arise in terms of the Capitalisation Issue, such fractions will be rounded down to the nearest
whole number with any remaining fractional entitlements being sold on behalf of such Naspers N
Shareholders with the proceeds payable in cash. The cash amount for such fractional entitlements will be
determined in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements and paid to the relevant Naspers N Shareholder
in its brokerage account or to a nominee account to be held on behalf and for the benefit of the relevant
Naspers N Shareholder as envisaged in the Circular and in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements.
In accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements, this amount has been determined with reference
to the volume weighted average price in Rand of a Naspers N Ordinary Share traded on the
Johannesburg Stock Exchange on Wednesday, 11 September 2019, ZAR 2,426.10 (being the first
day on which Naspers N Ordinary Shares trade ex the entitlement to participate in the Capitalisation
Issue), reduced by 10% ("Cash Proceeds"). On this basis, Shareholders are advised that the Cash
Proceeds due to Shareholders in respect of any fractional entitlements is ZAR 2,183.49
(ZAR 2,426.10 x 0.9) per Naspers N Ordinary Share.
