EXCHANGE OF SHARES IN MAKEMYTRIP FOR SHARES IN CTRIP

 

Naspers announced today an exchange of its interest in MakeMyTrip Limited ("MakeMyTrip") (NASDAQ:MMYT) for a 5.6% stake in Ctrip.com International Limited ("Ctrip") (NASDAQ:CTRP), a well-known provider of online travel and related services headquartered in China (the "Share Exchange Transaction").  The Share Exchange Transaction allows Ctrip to enjoy a larger exposure to the India travel market and benefit from the growth of MakeMyTrip. It also allows MakeMyTrip to benefit from Ctrip's significant global scale.

MakeMyTrip has transformed travel in India and beyond since 2000. The Share Exchange Transaction is a significant step in the growth ambitions of both MakeMyTrip and Ctrip. Naspers's continued investment through its interest in Ctrip should create additional value for Naspers and its shareholders.

The Share Exchange Transaction is expected to close as soon as practicable in the second half of 2019, and is subject to customary closing conditions, including the requisite regulatory approvals.
