PASSING OF NASPERS NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
It is with great sadness that Naspers announces the passing of Steve Pacak, a non-executive
director and chair of our audit and risk committees. Our sympathy and condolences go to his
wife Sheila, his children Stephanie and Gerard, and their families.
Steve began his career with Naspers at M-Net in 1988 and has held various executive positions
within the group. He became an executive director of Naspers in 1998, serving as the group's
financial director until his retirement from that position in 2014. He remained on the board
as a non-executive director, continuing to lend his experience to the board and its committees.
Koos Bekker, chair of Naspers, said: "Over almost four decades Steve was a key mover in the
development of our Naspers group. His financial and business acumen, deep knowledge of
our business and work ethic were invaluable. Beyond professional achievements, Steve was
one of the most honest and decent human beings I ever met. He will be missed."
