PUBLICATION OF OFFER DOCUMENT
Further to the announcement by Prosus N.V. (Prosus) on 22 October 2019 relating to the offer by its
wholly-owned indirect subsidiary MIH Food Delivery Holdings B.V. (MIH) to acquire the entire issued
and to be issued share capital of Just Eat plc (Just Eat) (the Offer), Prosus announces that the offer
document containing full terms and conditions of the Offer and the procedures for its acceptance (the
Offer Document) is being published and posted to the shareholders of Just Eat today, together with,
in the case of Just Eat Shareholders holding Just Eat Shares in certificated form, the related Form of
Acceptance to accept the offer. The Offer Document will also be published on Prosus’s website at
www.prosus.com/investors/justeat. The Offer is subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Offer
Document and the Form of Acceptance.
MIH has also reduced the level of acceptances required to satisfy the Acceptance Condition to 75 per
cent. of the Just Eat Shares.
Just Eat Shareholders are urged to accept the Offer as soon as possible and, in any event, by
no later than the First Closing Date, being 1.00pm (London time) on 11 December 2019.

of Section 2 of the Offer Document and, in respect of certificated Just Eat Shares, as further described

Receiving Agent, Computershare, on 0370 707 1066, (if calling within the UK) or on +44 370 707 1066

KEY BENEFITS OF MIH'S CASH OFFER
The following is a summary of the key benefits of MIH’s cash offer for the entire issued and to be issued
ordinary share capital of Just Eat.
• Under the terms of the Offer, Just Eat Shareholders will be entitled to receive:
710 pence in cash for each Just Eat Share
• The terms of the Offer value the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Just Eat at
approximately £4.9 billion and represent a premium of approximately:
o 20 per cent. to the value of the Takeaway.com Offer of 594 pence per Just Eat Share based
on Takeaway.com’s Closing Price of €71.00 on 21 October 2019 (being the last Business
Day before the date of the Announcement);
o 20 per cent. to the Closing Price of 589 pence per Just Eat Share on 21 October 2019
(being the last Business Day before the date of the Announcement); and
o 12 per cent. to the Closing Price of 636 pence per Just Eat Share on 26 July 2019 (being
the last Business Day before the commencement of the Offer Period).
• Since the start of the Offer Period the High-Growth Internet Sector has fallen 23.7 per cent. The
Takeaway.com share price has fallen 12.4 per cent. during this period. Against this backdrop,
continued market volatility and macro-economic uncertainty, the Offer provides Just Eat
Shareholders with compelling and certain cash value at a premium to the Takeaway.com Offer.
• MIH has reduced the level of acceptances required to satisfy the Acceptance Condition to 75 per
cent. of the Just Eat Shares.
Overview of rationale for the Offer
• Prosus believes that the Offer is attractive and fair for a business that requires substantial
investment to defend its position and capitalise on its long-term opportunity.
o Since its inception, Just Eat has attained leading positions in many of the markets within
its footprint, and has for a number of years demonstrated profitable growth driven largely
by its best-in-class marketplace model.
o In recent years, Just Eat’s share price has come under pressure reflecting weakening
operational and financial performance, most recently highlighted by Just Eat's Q3 Trading
Update. Prosus believes that this is a result of Just Eat underinvesting to adapt to
consumer expectations, which has opened the door for well-funded own-delivery
challengers (e.g. Deliveroo, Uber Eats) and allowed them to rapidly gain market share in
Just Eat’s core markets.
o Prosus believes that Just Eat requires substantial investment in product, technology,
marketing and own-delivery capabilities to shift to an own-delivery focused hybrid model
(i.e. own-delivery and marketplace), protect its market position and capitalise on its long-
term opportunity. Prosus believes that financial markets1 are underestimating the urgency
of the requirement for and the scale of this transformation and its likely financial impact on
Just Eat. These risks to Just Eat Shareholders were highlighted in a similar context in the
US by Grubhub, which Prosus believes faces similar challenges from well-funded own-
delivery challengers and changing consumer behaviour, when Grubhub's share price
declined 43 per cent. in a single day following the release of Grubhub's Q3 trading update
on 28 October 2019.
• Prosus believes that the proposed combination with Takeaway.com will not fully or effectively
address the challenges Just Eat is facing.
o Takeaway.com executives have consistently expressed pessimism about the merits of the
own-delivery business model. Takeaway.com’s own-delivery proposition Scoober
represented less than five per cent. of Takeaway.com’s reported total orders in the first
half of 2019.
o Takeaway.com’s valuation was near an all-time high when it made its offer for Just Eat,
with Takeaway.com trading at the highest multiples amongst its peers.2 Prosus believes
that the use of highly valued shares to acquire a business facing significant competitive
challenges presents significant downside risk for Just Eat Shareholders.
• Prosus, with its global experience and own-delivery expertise, is best positioned to assist Just Eat
and its management in the next phase of its development.
o Prosus is one of the leading global operators and investors in the Online Food Delivery
Sector, having invested approximately US$2.8 billion in the sector since FY16 to build a
portfolio of leading Food Delivery businesses.
o Having identified early the strategic need to invest in own-delivery capabilities, Prosus has
a long and successful track record of investing in and building out market-leading hybrid
and own-delivery businesses in some of the largest Food Delivery markets globally.
o Prosus has a long-standing track record of partnering with existing leadership teams to
successfully build and scale businesses. Prosus has focused on the long-term success of
its portfolio companies, supporting them with the investment required to compete
effectively.
o Prosus and Just Eat are partners in Brazil today through their iFood joint venture and both
companies and their management teams have worked in close collaboration and built a
long-standing relationship as co-investors in the business. Given the successful track
record and momentum of iFood, the proposed transaction is the logical next step in the
relationship between the two companies.
• The Offer is an important step towards achieving Prosus’s ambition to build the world’s leading
Food Delivery business. Through this proposed acquisition, Prosus will back Just Eat’s
management team and employees and support the next phase of Just Eat’s development. Prosus
has the conviction and financial resources to invest in Just Eat’s product, technology, marketing
and own-delivery capabilities and help Just Eat achieve its long-term potential, whilst also targeting
an appropriate risk adjusted return on invested capital for Prosus shareholders.

Notice to US investors
The Offer is being made to Just Eat Shareholders resident in the United States in reliance on, and
compliance with, the applicable US tender offer rules, including Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act, and
Regulation 14E thereunder. The Offer is being made in the United States by MIH and no one else.
The Offer relates to the shares of a UK incorporated company and is subject to disclosure and other
procedural requirements, which are different from certain United States disclosure and procedural
requirements, including with respect to withdrawal rights, offer timetable, settlement procedures and
timing of payments.
Furthermore, the payment and settlement procedure with respect to the Offer will comply with the
relevant United Kingdom rules, which differ from US payment and settlement procedures, particularly
with regard to the date of payment of consideration.
In accordance with normal UK practice and consistent with Rule 14e-5(b) under the US Exchange Act,
MIH, certain affiliated companies and their nominees or brokers (acting as agents) may make certain
purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, shares in Just Eat other than pursuant to the Offer, before
or during the period in which the Offer remains open for acceptance (or, if the Offer is implemented by
way of a Scheme, until the date on which the Scheme becomes effective, lapses or is otherwise
withdrawn). If such purchases or arrangements to purchase were to be made they would be made
outside the United States either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at
negotiated prices and would comply with applicable law, including, to the extent applicable, the US
Exchange Act. Any information about such purchases will be disclosed as required in the UK and the
Unites States, will be reported to a Regulatory Information Service and will be available on the London
Stock Exchange website at www.londonstockexchange.com. In addition, in accordance with normal UK
practice and consistent with Rule 14e-5(b) under the US Exchange Act, J.P. Morgan Cazenove and
Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc and their affiliates may continue to act as exempt principal
traders in Just Eat Shares on the London Stock Exchange and engage in certain other purchasing
activities consistent with their respective normal and usual practice and applicable law. Any information
about such purchases will be disclosed as required in the UK and the United States, will be reported to
a Regulatory Information Service and will be available on the London Stock Exchange website at
www.londonstockexchange.com. To the extent that such information is made public in the United
Kingdom, it will also be publicly disclosed in the United States.
Financial information included in this Announcement and the Offer Document has been prepared in
accordance with accounting standards applicable in the UK and the Netherlands, as applicable, and
may not be comparable to financial information of US companies or companies whose financial
statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States.
The receipt of consideration by a US holder for the transfer of its Just Eat Shares pursuant to the Offer
may be a taxable transaction for United States federal income tax purposes and under applicable United
States state and local, as well as non-US and other, tax laws. Each Just Eat Shareholder is urged to
consult their independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of the Offer
applicable to them, including under applicable United States federal, state and local, as well as non-US
and other, tax laws.
It may be difficult for US holders to enforce their rights, effect service of process within the United States
and/or enforce any claim arising out of the US federal securities laws, since Just Eat is incorporated
under the laws of England and Wales. Prosus and MIH are organised under the laws of the Netherlands
and the majority of the officers and directors of Just Eat, Prosus and MIH are residents of countries
other than the United States. It may not be possible to sue Prosus, MIH or Just Eat, or any of their
respective directors, officers or affiliates, in a non-US court for violations of US securities laws. It may
be difficult to compel Prosus, MIH, Just Eat and their respective directors, officers and affiliates to
subject themselves to the jurisdiction and judgment of a US court.
Neither the US Securities and Exchange Commission nor any US state securities commission has
approved or disapproved the Offer, or passed upon the fairness of the Offer or passed upon the
adequacy or accuracy of this document. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the
United States.
No offer to acquire securities or to exchange securities for other securities has been made, or will be
made, directly or indirectly, in or into, or by the use of the mails of, or by any means or instrumentality
of interstate or foreign commerce or any facilities of a national securities exchange of, the United States
or any other country in which such offer may not be made other than: (i) in accordance with the tender
offer requirements under the Exchange Act, or the securities laws of such other country, as the case
may be; or (ii) pursuant to an available exemption from such requirements.
Forward looking statements
This Announcement contains certain statements that are or may be forward looking statements,
including with respect to the Offer. Forward-looking statements are prospective in nature and are not
based on current or historical facts, but rather on assumptions, expectations, valuations, targets,
estimates, forecasts and projections about future events, and are therefore subject to risks and
uncertainties which could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from the future
results, performance or events expressed or implied by the forward looking statements. All statements
other than statements of historical facts included in this Announcement may be forward looking
statements. Without limitation, forward looking statements often include words such as “targets”,

as variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”,
“could”, “should”, “would”, “might”, “probably” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. Such statements
are qualified in their entirety by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty, because they relate to events
and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future and the factors described in the context of
such forward-looking statements in this Announcement could cause actual results and developments
to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Many factors
could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied in any forward-looking
statements. Due to such uncertainties and risks, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Announcement. Any forward-
looking statements made in this Announcement on behalf of Prosus or MIH are made as of the date of
this Announcement based on the opinions and estimates of directors of Prosus or MIH respectively and
no assurance can be given that such opinions or estimates will prove to have been correct.
No forward-looking or other statements have been reviewed by the auditors of Prosus, MIH or Just Eat.
All forward looking statements contained in this Announcement and all subsequent oral or written
forward-looking statements attributable to Prosus, MIH or Just Eat or their respective members,
directors, officers, advisers or employees or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in
their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.
Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this Announcement. None of Prosus,
MIH or Just Eat, or any of their respective members, associates or directors, officers or advisers and
any person acting on behalf of one or more of them, provides any representation, warranty, assurance
or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward looking statements
in this Announcement will actually occur. Other than in accordance with their legal or regulatory
obligations (including under the City Code, the Listing Rules and the Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules), no member of the Prosus Group is under, or undertakes, any obligation, and
each of the foregoing expressly disclaims any intention or obligation, to update or revise any forward-
looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
No profit forecasts or estimates
No statement in, or referred to in, this Announcement or incorporated by reference into this
Announcement is intended as or shall be deemed to be a profit forecast or estimate for any period. No
statement in, or referred to in, this Announcement or incorporated by reference into this Announcement
should be interpreted to mean that income of persons (where relevant), cash flow from operations, free
cash flow, earnings or earnings per share for Just Eat, Prosus or the Enlarged Group (as applicable)
for the current or future financial years would necessarily match or exceed the historic published cash
flow from operations, free cash flow, earnings, earnings per share or dividend for Just Eat, Prosus, MIH
or Naspers or the Enlarged Group (as applicable).
Disclosure requirements of the City Code
Under Rule 8.3(a) of the City Code, any person who is interested in 1% or more of any class of relevant
securities of an offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror (being any offeror other than an
offeror in respect of which it has been announced that its offer is, or is likely to be, solely in cash) must
make an Opening Position Disclosure following the commencement of an offer period and, if later,
following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first identified.
An Opening Position Disclosure must contain details of the person’s interests and short positions in,
and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of: (i) the offeree company; and (ii) any
securities exchange offeror(s). An Opening Position Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(a)
applies must be made by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the 10th business day following the
commencement of the offer period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the
10th business day following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first
identified. Relevant persons who deal in the relevant securities of the offeree company or of a securities
exchange offeror prior to the deadline for making an Opening Position Disclosure must instead make a
Dealing Disclosure. Under Rule 8.3(b) of the City Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in
1% or more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange
offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals in any relevant securities of the offeree
company or of any securities exchange offeror. A Dealing Disclosure must contain details of the dealing
concerned and of the person’s interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant
securities of each of: (i) the offeree company; and (ii) any securities exchange offeror, save to the extent
that these details have previously been disclosed under Rule 8. A Dealing Disclosure by a person to
whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the business day
following the date of the relevant dealing. If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement
or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant securities of
an offeree company or a securities exchange offeror, they will be deemed to be a single person for the
purpose of Rule 8.3.
Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company and by any offeror and
Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company, by any offeror and by any persons
acting in concert with any of them (see Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4). Details of the offeree and offeror
companies in respect of whose relevant securities Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing
Disclosures must be made can be found in the Disclosure Table on the Panel’s website at
www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk, including details of the number of relevant securities in issue, when the
offer period commenced and when any offeror was first identified. You should contact the Panel’s

to make an Opening Position Disclosure or a Dealing Disclosure.
