Notes to form of proxy1. The following provisions shall apply in relation to proxies: 1.1 A shareholder of the company may appoint any individual (including an individual who is not a shareholder of the company) as a proxy to participate in, speak and vote at the annual general meeting of the company. 1.2 A shareholder may appoint two or more persons concurrently as proxies and may appoint more than one proxy to exercise voting rights attached to different securities held by the shareholder. 1.3 A proxy instrument must be in writing, dated and signed by the shareholder. 1.4 A proxy may delegate the proxy’s authority to act on behalf of the shareholder to another person, subject to any restrictions set out in the instrument appointing the proxy. 1.5 A copy of the instrument appointing a proxy must be delivered to the company, or to any other person on behalf of the company, before the proxy exercises any rights of the shareholder at the annual general meeting. 1.6 Irrespective of the form of instrument used to appoint the proxy: (i) the appointment is suspended at any time and to the extent that the shareholder chooses to act directly and in person in the exercise of any rights as a shareholder; (ii) the appointment is revocable unless the proxy appointment expressly states otherwise; and (iii) if the appointment is revocable, a shareholder may revoke the proxy appointment by cancelling it in writing or making a later inconsistent appointment of a proxy and delivering a copy of the revocation instrument to the proxy and the company. 1.7 The proxy is entitled to exercise, or abstain from exercising, any voting right of the shareholder without direction, except to the extent that the memorandum of incorporation of the company, or the instrument appointing the proxy, provides otherwise.2. A certificated or ’own name’ dematerialised shareholder may insert the names of two alternative proxies of the shareholder’s choice in the space provided, deleting ‘the chair of the annual general meeting’. The person whose name appears first on the form of proxy and whose name has not been deleted and who attends the meeting, will be entitled and authorised to act as proxy to the exclusion of those whose names follow.3. A shareholder’s instructions to the proxy must be indicated by that shareholder in the appropriate space provided, failing which the proxy shall not be entitled to vote at the annual general meeting in respect of the shareholder’s votes exercisable at that meeting, provided where the proxy is the chair, failure to so comply will be deemed to authorise the chair to vote in favour of the resolutions.4. A shareholder may appoint a proxy at any time. For practical purposes, forms of proxy for Naspers N ordinary shares must be lodged at or posted to the transfer secretaries of the company, Link Market Services South Africa Proprietary Limited, 13th floor, Rennie House, 19 Ameshoff Street, Braamfontein 2001 or PO Box 4844, Johannesburg 2000. Forms of proxy for Naspers A ordinary shares must be lodged at or posted to the registered office of the company, 40 Heerengracht, Cape Town 8001 or PO Box 2271, Cape Town 8000. Forms of proxy lodged in this manner are to be received by not later than 11:15 on Wednesday 23 August 2017, or such later date if the annual general meeting is postponed to allow for processing of such proxies. All other proxies must be handed to the company secretary prior to the commencement of the meeting.5. The completion and lodging of this form of proxy will not preclude the certificated shareholder or ’own name’ dematerialised shareholder from attending the annual general meeting and speaking and voting in person at the meeting to the exclusion of any proxy appointed in terms hereof.6. An instrument of proxy shall be valid for any adjournment or postponement of the annual general meeting, as well as for the meeting to which it relates, unless the contrary is stated therein, but shall not be used at the resumption of an adjourned annual general meeting if it could not have been used at the annual general meeting from which it was adjourned for any reason other than that it was not lodged timeously for the meeting from which the adjournment took place. 123 Naspers Limited integrated annual report 2017

SHAREHOLDER AND CORPORATE INFORMATIONNotes to form of proxy (continued)7. A vote cast or act done in accordance with the terms of a form of proxy shall be deemed to be valid despite: • the death, insanity, or any other legal disability of the person appointing the proxy, or • the revocation of the proxy, or • the transfer of a share in respect of which the proxy was given, unless notice as to any of the above-mentioned matters shall have been received by the company at its registered office or by the chair of the annual general meeting at the place of the annual general meeting, if not held at the registered office, before the commencement or resumption (if adjourned) of the annual general meeting at which the vote was cast or the act was done or before the poll on which the vote was cast.8. The authority of a person signing the form of proxy: 8.1 under a power of attorney, or 8.2 on behalf of a company or close corporation or trust, must be attached to the form of proxy unless the full power of attorney has already been received by the company or the transfer secretaries.9. Where shares are held jointly, all joint holders must sign.10. Dematerialised shareholders, other than by ’own name’ registration, must NOT complete this form of proxy and must provide their central securities depository participant (CSDP) or broker of their voting instructions in terms of the custody agreement entered into between such shareholders and their CSDP and/or broker. 124Naspers Limited integrated annual report 2017
