Euronext Amsterdam has close to thirteen-hundred listed issuers worth close to 3.6 trillion euros in market capitalisation • Connects and integrates all of our European markets and enables access to a broad and deep investor base comprising Eurozone, United Kingdom, United States and other international investors • NewCo is expected to be eligible for inclusion in the AEX, AMX and AScX indices • Similar listing requirements as the JSE which allows for limited additional governance complexity and cost • Naspers is a global business with offices around the world, but since the 1990s Naspers has had a meaningful presence in Amsterdam and has found it an excellent place to attract global talent 6
