"We always work hard to please our shareholders while recognising that we have tens of thousands of shareholders with varying perspectives," Prosus said in its statement to Reuters, adding that the majority vote at the Prosus extraordinary general meeting "confirms shareholder support for the transaction." When Naspers listed Prosus in 2019, it paid 29 million euros to financial advisers, compared with the 20 million euros Prosus will pay them for the share swap, the document shows. Prosus did not have to pay any securities transaction tax for the 2019 listing, though investors said that did not address their discontent with the transaction costs.
