Certificateholders of UBS Long/Short Certificates on Naspers Limited (Long)
vs. Tencent Holdings Limited (Short) are hereby advised of a Potential
Adjustment Event that may have a diluting or concentrative effect on the

On 25 March 2019, Naspers Limited ("Naspers") announced its intention to
form a new global consumer internet group, by listing its global consumer
internet assets held by Myriad International Holdings N.V. (previously
referred to as NewCo and to be renamed Prosus N.V.), an existing subsidiary
of Naspers, incorporated in accordance with Dutch laws, on Euronext
Amsterdam with a secondary, inward listing on the Main Board of the
Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
On 19 July 2019, Naspers issued a circular to its shareholders in relation
to the extraordinary general meeting of Naspers shareholders (the Naspers
Circular), in which it announced its intention, subject to the terms and
conditions set out in the Naspers Circular, to implement the Capital
Restructure and the Admissions (the Transaction).
On 23 August 2019, Naspers's shareholders approved, inter alia, the
resolutions required to authorise the implementation of the Capital
Restructure.
The Transaction provides flexibility to Naspers N Shareholders by giving
them the option to receive Prosus N Ordinary Shares (under the Naspers M
Share Capitalisation Issue) or additional Naspers N Ordinary Shares (under
the Naspers N Share Capitalisation Issue). Certificateholders are referred
to the prospectus prepared in connection with the Capital Restructure for
