CHANGES TO THE COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD

 

The board of directors ("Board") has decided to nominate Pedro Arnt (53) as an independent non-executive director to the Prosus Board, as well as a member of the audit and risk committees, at a specially to be scheduled general meeting of the company.

With effect from 10 August 2026, Mr Arnt has been appointed as an independent non-executive director of Naspers Limited. Mr Arnt has been classified as an independent non-executive director of Naspers under the King Report V on Corporate Governance for South Africa, 2025 and Prosus under the Dutch Corporate Governance Code.

Mr Arnt earned a BA in Political Science from Haverford College in 1995 and an MPhil in Latin American Studies from the University of Oxford in 1997. He began his career at The Boston Consulting Group as an Associate, advising Global 500 companies across Latin America and the United States, with a focus on the emerging electronic commerce practice during the internet expansion of the late 1990s. In 1999, Pedro joined MercadoLibre as one of the company's earliest executives, working across marketing, sales, customer operations, treasury and investor relations. He served as VP of Marketing & Sales, then as VP of Customer Operations from 2003, before being appointed VP of Planning, Treasury & Investor Relations in 2007, playing a key role in the company's Nasdaq initial public offering that year. In 2011, he was appointed Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of MercadoLibre, a role he held for more than twelve years, during which the company grew into one of Latin America's largest technology and fintech platforms, reaching a market capitalisation of approximately US$100 billion. Pedro joined dLocal in August 2023 as Co-Chief Executive Officer, becoming standalone Chief Executive Officer in 2024, a role he holds today. He also serves as a Non-Executive Director of Allegro.eu SA.

The Board confirms that in compliance with the JSE Listings Requirements fit and proper assessments have been conducted and that the Board is satisfied with the outcomes of the assessments. Additionally, the Group confirms that there are no positive statements to report in respect of the integrity information contained in the director's declarations.

The Board takes great pleasure in welcoming Mr Arnt.
