Prosus N.V. shareholders are advised that the company's board of directors recommends that, holders of ordinary shares N receive a distribution of approximately 20 euro cents, which represents an increase of approximately 100% for free-float shareholders. If confirmed by shareholders at the annual general meeting on 20 August 2025, elections to receive a dividend instead of a capital repayment will need to be made by holders of ordinary shares
N by 17 November 2025. More information on the distribution will be published in the notice of annual general meeting. Capital repayments and dividends will be payable to shareholders recorded in books on the dividend record date and paid on 25 November 2025. Capital repayments will be paid from qualifying share capital for Dutch tax purposes. No dividend withholding tax will be withheld on the amounts of capital reductions paid to shareholders. However, if holders of ordinary shares N rather elect to receive a dividend from retained earnings, dividends will be subject to the Dutch dividend withholding tax rate of 15%. Dividends payable to holders of ordinary shares N who elect to receive a dividend and who hold their listed ordinary shares N through the listing of the company on the JSE will, in addition to the 15% Dutch dividend withholding tax, be subject to South African dividend tax at a rate of up to 20%. The amount of additional South African dividend tax will be calculated by deducting from the 20%, a rebate equal to the Dutch dividend tax paid in respect of the dividend (without right of recovery). Shareholders holding their listed ordinary shares N through the listing of the company on the JSE, unless exempt from paying South African dividend tax or entitled to a reduced withholding tax rate in terms of an applicable tax treaty, will be subject to a maximum of 20% South African dividend tax.
