General restrictions
This press release contains information that qualifies or may qualify as inside information within the meaning of
Article 7(1) of the EU Market Abuse Regulation.
The information in this announcement is not intended to be complete. This announcement is for information purposes
only and does not constitute an offer or an invitation to acquire or dispose of any securities or investment advice or
an inducement to enter into investment activity. This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell or issue or
the solicitation of an offer to buy or acquire the securities of the Company in any jurisdiction.

The distribution of this press release may, in some countries, be restricted by law or regulation. Accordingly, persons
who come into possession of this document should inform themselves of and observe these restrictions. To the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, the Offeror and the Company disclaim any responsibility or liability for the
violation of any such restrictions by any person. Any failure to comply with these restrictions may constitute a
violation of the securities laws of that jurisdiction. Neither the Company, nor the Offeror, nor any of their advisers
assume any responsibility for any violation by any person of any of these restrictions. The Company shareholders in
any doubt as to their position should consult an appropriate professional adviser without delay. This announcement
is not to be released, published or distributed, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, in any jurisdiction in which
such release, publication or distribution would be unlawful.

The Offer is made for all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares, American depositary shares and CREST
depositary interests of JET, which is a public company incorporated and listed in the Netherlands, and will be subject
to Dutch disclosure and procedural requirements. The Offer is made to JET shareholders in the United States in
compliance with the applicable U.S. tender offer rules under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "U.S. Exchange Act"), and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Dutch law. Accordingly, the Offer
is subject to disclosure and other procedural requirements, including with respect to withdrawal rights, the Offer
timetable, settlement procedures and timing of payments that are different from those applicable under U.S.
domestic tender offer law and practice.

Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any U.S. state securities commission has approved or
disapproved of the Offer, passed upon the merits or fairness of the Offer, or determined if this announcement or the
Offer documents are accurate or complete.

The Offer may have consequences under U.S. federal income tax and applicable U.S. state and local, as well as non-
U.S., tax laws for JET shareholders. Each JET shareholder is urged to consult his or her independent professional
adviser regarding the tax consequences of the Offer.

It may not be possible for JET shareholders in the United States to effect service of process within the United States
upon JET, Prosus, or their respective officers or directors, some or all of which may reside outside the United States,
or to enforce against any of them judgments of the United States courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions
of the federal securities laws of the United States or other U.S. law. It may not be possible to bring an action against
JET, Prosus, or their respective officers or directors (as applicable), in a non-U.S. court for violations of U.S. law,
including the U.S. securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-U.S. company and its affiliates to
subject themselves to a U.S. court's judgement. In addition, it may be difficult to enforce in the Netherlands original
actions, or actions for the enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts, based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S.
federal securities laws.

Forward-looking statements
This press release may include "forward-looking statements" and language that indicates trends, such as
"anticipated" and "expected". Although the Company and the Offeror believe that the assumptions upon which their
respective financial information and their respective forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, they can
give no assurance that these assumptions will prove to be correct. Neither the Company, nor the Offeror, nor any of
their advisers accept any responsibility for any financial information contained in this press release relating to the
business or operations or results or financial condition of the other or their respective groups.
