In terms of the proposal, shareholders will receive new Naspers M-shares as a
capitalisation issue, which do not have immediate tax liabilities. Capitalisation shares
are exempt from dividend tax, but CGT become payable whenever the shares are sold.
The circular states that the initial cost of these shares for the purposes of CGT will be
deemed to be nil, meaning that the full value of the shares will attract CGT whenever a
shareholder sells them. The M-shares are automatically replaced by NewCo shares,
which is effectively seen as two separate transactions: the sale of M-shares and the
purchase of NewCo shares
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - South African media and tech group Naspers said on Wednesday it aims to float its consumer internet businesses on the Euronext stock exchange in Amsterdam on July 17.
Naspers will retain a 73% stake in the new company, which will have a market capitalisation in excess of 100 billion euros ($112 billion) and will hold Naspers' one-third stake in China's Tencent, as well as its OLX and "letgo" classified businesses.
Existing Naspers shareholders will receive shares representing 27% of the new company when it lists, Naspers said in a statement. Naspers announced the plan in March.
