Changes to the board and composition of the audit and risk committees and nomination for appointment of non-executive director

Effective 1 April 2021, Mr Don Eriksson, independent non-executive director, retires from the board and the audit, risk and Naspers social, ethics and sustainability committees. The board thanks Mr Eriksson for his immensely valuable contribution to the board and excellent chairmanship of these committees.

Mr Steve Pacak will be appointed chair of the audit and risk committees.

The board has decided to nominate Mrs Angelien Kemna (63) for appointment as a non-executive director of Prosus at the next annual general meeting.

Mrs Kemna holds a MSc Operations Research from Erasmus University, Rotterdam (1981) and a PhD Finance from Erasmus University, Rotterdam (1988). She was a visiting scholar at Sloan School MIT (1985, Boston, USA).

She is currently an independent board member and chair of the audit committee of Friesland Campina; senior independent board member of AXA Investment Managers and independent board member and member of the audit committee of AXA Group; and an independent board member and chair of the risk committee of NIBC Holding.

Mrs Kemna was previously a member of the executive board of APG Group in the Netherlands, where she initially held the role of chief investment officer and subsequently was chief finance and risk officer. In addition, she was part-time professor in corporate governance at the Erasmus University, Rotterdam.

With effect from 15 April 2021, Mrs Kemna will be appointed as a non-executive director of Naspers Limited. Mrs Kemna is expected to be classified as an independent non-executive director of Naspers under the King Report IV on Corporate Governance for South Africa, 2016 and of Prosus under the Dutch Corporate Governance Code. She will also be appointed as a member of the Naspers and Prosus audit committees.
