APPOINTMENT OF CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER AND FINANCIAL DIRECTOR

 

Prosus today announced that the boards of Prosus and Naspers have unanimously
approved the appointment of Nico Marais (51) as Chief Financial Officer (CFO),
Prosus and Naspers Group ("the Group") with immediate effect.

Nico brings over 25 years of extensive experience in financial management
within the Group, including as interim CFO since December 2024. Previously, he
served as the General Manager of Finance, and played a pivotal role in several
key initiatives, including the successful listing of Prosus, the unwinding of
the crossholdings, the execution of the current open-ended share repurchases,
and Prosus' debt capital market activities. Mr Marais is a qualified Chartered
Accountant and holds an accounting degree from Stellenbosch University.

 

Nico will join the Naspers board as the financial director with immediate
effect and will join the Prosus board following the annual general meeting in
August 2025, subject to shareholder approval.

Koos Bekker, Prosus and Naspers chair, said:

"On behalf of the Boards of Prosus and Naspers, I am delighted to confirm the
appointment of Nico as Group CFO on a permanent basis. He brings invaluable
expertise and experience to the role, which he has built up over more than two
decades with the Group. The strong working relationship he has developed with
our CEO Fabricio Bloisi puts us in good stead as we look ahead with excitement
to the next phase of our growth journey".

Nico's remuneration will be disclosed in the 2025 Prosus annual report
expected to be published on or around 23 June 2025.
