At the AGM, we will review challenges and opportunities the past year imposed upon or offered to the group. We will be proposing for appointment as an executive director, the group's chief financial officer, Nico Marais, and as an executive director, Phuthi Mahanyele-Dabengwa.
Fabricio Bloisi, the chief executive, will update you on the progress of the business. Some presentations regarding other items on the agenda will follow. Then we will have a full Q&A session on matters tabled, before we vote on the relevant resolutions.
Full explanations of all proposed resolutions are set out in the notes that follow.

3 To adopt the annual accounts (voting item)
To consider and adopt the annual accounts for the twelve (12) months ended 31 March 2025 as included in the Prosus annual report on pages 1 to 14.
4 To make a distribution in relation to the financial year ended 31 March 2025 (voting item)
Prosus does not have a defined dividend policy and, as such, there are no restrictions on, or a target range for, the payment of dividends. The board generally considers dividend declarations annually during the month of June when it finalises the annual accounts. The ability and intention of Prosus to declare and pay dividends in the future:
(i) will mainly depend on its financial position, results of operations, capital requirements, investment prospects, the existence of distributable reserves and available liquidity and such other factors as the board may deem relevant; and
(ii) are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Prosus' control.
In accordance with the articles of association, the board proposes that a distribution be made to holders of ordinary shares as follows:
(i) 20 euro cents per share to the holders of ordinary shares N;
(ii) 0.00002 euro cents per share to the holders of ordinary shares B; and
(iii) an amount per share equal to the outcome of the formula set forth in article 30.3 of the articles of association to the holders of ordinary shares A1, in each case in accordance with articles 30.2 through 30.3 of the articles of association.
Holders of ordinary shares N can elect whether they want to receive their distribution in the form of a regular dividend out of net profit, or whether they prefer to receive an equal amount in the form of repaid capital instead. Holders of ordinary shares N that do not make a choice participate in the distribution of repaid capital. In addition, a choice for one option implies an opt-out of the other option.
Thereto, this proposal to make a distribution in relation to the financial year ended 31 March 2025 consists of two elements, being the distribution of a dividend out of net profit and the distribution of repaid capital. The latter implies a resolution to formally reduce the capital of the company (kapitaalverminderung) to be effectuated after the conclusion of a formal capital reduction process including a two-month opposition period for creditors. To be able to make a distribution in the form of repaid capital, two subsequent changes to the articles of association have to be made by:
(i) increasing the nominal value of the ordinary shares N with 20 euro cents, thus increasing the issued share capital of the company at the charge of the share premium reserve; and
(ii) subsequently, by decreasing the nominal value of the ordinary shares N back to the current nominal value, thus decreasing the issued share capital of the company, which decrease is partly paid to the shareholders who have opted for the repaid capital option. The balance will be added (back) to the share premium reserve of the company.
Consequently, the proposal consists of three parts:
(i) the proposal to distribute a dividend as set out above;
(ii) the proposal to amend the articles of association of the company by an increase of the nominal value of the ordinary shares N from €0.05 to €0.25, thus increasing the issued share capital of the company at the charge of the share premium reserve; and
(iii) the proposal to decrease the issued share capital of the company and to amend the articles of association of the company by a decrease of the nominal value of the ordinary shares N back from €0.25 to the current nominal value of €0.05, thus decreasing the issued share capital of the company, which decrease is partly paid to the shareholders who have opted (or implicitly opted) for the repaid capital option, and the balance is added to the share premium reserve of the company.
The proposed changes (in English and Dutch) are set out in the proposed amendments 2025 to the articles of association dated 23 June 2025, available at www.prosus.com.
The proposal to amend the articles of association includes authorising each member of the board, the company secretary, as well as each (deputy) civil law notary and notarial assistant of Allen Overy Shearman Sterling LLP (Amsterdam office), attorneys at law, civil law notaries and tax advisers, each of them separately, to have the two deeds of amendment of the articles of association executed.
