Naspers buys back ZAR669m of shares in a week, backs JSE ‘Claim It’ dividend drive

For 15–19 June 2026 Naspers repurchased 790,310 ordinary shares at an average price of ZAR847.1266 (total ZAR669,492,592 / US$41.08m). The group reiterates the ongoing open-ended repurchase programme and urges shareholders to use the JSE 'Claim It' portal to recover unpaid dividends.

Naspers spent ZAR669 million repurchasing its own shares last week, underscoring the pace of its open‑ended buyback while urging investors to recover unpaid dividends through the JSE’s “Claim It” portal.

Between 15 and 19 June 2026, the group bought 790,310 ordinary shares at an average price of ZAR847.1266, for a total of ZAR669,492,592 (about US$41.08 million). The company reiterated that the programme remains ongoing and without a fixed end date, signalling continued deployment of capital into buybacks.

The repurchases reduce the number of shares in issue, tightening the free float and potentially influencing liquidity and per‑share metrics over time. Naspers’ disclosure keeps to the weekly cadence it has used to update the market on execution.

Separately, the company joined the JSE’s “Claim It” campaign, steering shareholders to the exchange’s portal to track and recover unpaid or unclaimed dividends — a prompt that could unlock cash for South African investors who have fallen out of contact with registrars.
