Dear Shareholder

Our chief executive, Bob van Dijk, will update you on the progress of the business and will outline the proposed transaction in which the Cross-Holding Arrangement between Naspers and Prosus will be removed (the Proposed Transaction). Some presentations regarding other items on the agenda will follow. Then we will have a full Q&A session on all matters tabled before we vote on the relevant resolutions.

Full explanations of all proposed resolutions are set out in notes to follow. The board believes that all proposals to be put to you at the AGM are in the best interest of Prosus and all its shareholders.

PROSUS

Notice of annual general meeting 31 March 2023


Notice of hybrid annual general meeting continued

Agenda and explanatory notes

1 To discuss the Prosus annual report submitted by the board of directors (non-voting item)

At this agenda item, the chief executive will update you on the progress of the business in the financial year ended 31 March 2023.

A full Q&A session will be held on all matters tabled for this meeting during this agenda item.

2 To approve the directors' remuneration report (advisory vote)

Prosus has drawn up the directors' remuneration report, including an overview of remuneration to individual members of the board in accordance with the statutory requirements.

The directors' remuneration report is put to the general meeting of shareholders for a non-binding advisory vote. It is proposed to approve the directors' remuneration report.

Please refer to the directors' remuneration report that is included in the Prosus annual report on pages 138 to 168. A copy of the remuneration policy, which was approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting in 2022, is available on our website at www.prosus.com.

3 To adopt the annual accounts (voting item)

To consider and adopt the annual accounts for the twelve (12) months ended 31 March 2023 as included in the Prosus annual report on pages 172 to 333.

4 To make a distribution in relation to the financial year ending 31 March 2023 (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:

Alternative I

(i) if resolution 10 below is approved, a distribution to: the holders of ordinary shares N of 7 euro cents per share; (ii) the holders of ordinary shares B of 0.000007 euro cents per share; and (iii) the holders of ordinary shares A1 an amount per share equal to the outcome of the formula set forth in article 30.3 of the amended articles of association, in each case in accordance with articles 30.2 through 30.3 of the amended articles of association. Amended articles of association means the articles of association in place following the execution of the deed of amendment to the articles of association put to shareholders in resolution 10 below; and

Alternative II

(ii) if resolution 10 below is not approved, a distribution in the form of a terminal economics distribution (as outlined in the current articles of association) to; (i) the holders of ordinary shares N of 15 euro cents per share; (ii) the holders of

PROSUS

Notice of annual general meeting 31 March 2023


Notice of hybrid annual general meeting continued

ordinary shares B of 0.000015 euro cents per share; and (iii) the holders of ordinary shares A1 an amount per share equal to the outcome of the formula set forth in article 30.6 of the current articles of association, in each case in accordance with articles 30.2 through 30.6 of the current articles of association; consequently, the distribution on the ordinary shares N held by Naspers will be capped at Naspers' effective economic interest percentage of the total distribution as outlined in the current articles of association. Current articles of association means the articles of association as they read since 26 September 2022, assuming resolution 10 below is not approved.

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 ending 31 March 2023 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 first increasing the nominal value of the

ordinary shares N under alternative I with 7 euro cents or under alternative II with 15 euro cents, depending on the approve, thus increasing the issued share capital of the company at the charge of the share premium reserve and secondly 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. Reference is made to the texts of the proposals to amend the articles of association in English and Dutch, which can be found on the website, for both alternatives I and II above.

Consequently, the proposal consists of three parts under alternative I, should resolution 10 below be approved:

A the proposal to distribute a dividend as set out above;
B 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 €0.12, thus increasing the issued share capital of the company at the charge of the share premium reserve; and
C 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 €0.12 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.

PROSUS

Consequently, the proposal consists of three parts under alternative II, should resolution 10 below not be approved:

A the proposal to distribute a dividend as set out above;
B 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 €0.20, thus increasing the issued share capital of the company at the charge of the share premium reserve; and
C 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 €0.20 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 2023 to the articles of association dated 12 July 2023 available at www.prosus.com.

The proposal to amend the articles of association of either alternative includes authorising each member of the board, the company secretary, as well as each (deputy) civil law notary and notarial assistant of Allen & Overy 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.

For those holders holding their shares in South Africa via Strate, the proposed distribution as denominated in euro will be translated to South African rand at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of approval at the 2023 annual general meeting.

5 To discharge the executive directors from liability (voting item)
It is proposed that the executive directors in office for the year ended 31 March 2023 be discharged from liability for the fulfilment of their tasks in the 2023 financial year.

6 To discharge the non-executive directors from liability (voting item)
It is proposed that the non-executive directors for the year ended 31 March 2023 be discharged from liability for the fulfilment of their tasks in the 2023 financial year.

7 To approve the remuneration of the non-executive directors (voting item)
Last year, the board decided not to increase fees for non-executive directors for the 31 March 2023 financial year, but to seek approval from shareholders to defer their previous decision and apply it to the 31 March 2024 financial year.
