Ctrip Announces Share Exchange Transaction with Naspers

 

Shanghai, China, April 26, 2019 - Ctrip.com International, Ltd. (Nasdaq: CTRP) (“Ctrip”) today announced a share exchange transaction with Naspers Limited (“Naspers”), pursuant to which Naspers will exchange its stake in MakeMyTrip Limited (“MakeMyTrip”) for newly issued shares in Ctrip. Concurrent with the share exchange, Ctrip will invest certain ordinary shares and class B shares of MakeMyTrip in a third-party investment entity. Post the transaction, Naspers will own approximately 5.6% of Ctrip’s outstanding ordinary shares, and Ctrip and the third-party investment entity will own ordinary shares and class B shares of MakeMyTrip, representing approximately 49.0% and 4.0% of MakeMyTrip’s total voting power, respectively.

 

“Over the past years we have witnessed the great achievements of MakeMyTrip, and we are confident that MakeMyTrip will extend its success in the future,” said James Liang, Co-founder and Executive Chairman of Ctrip. “We are also delighted to welcome Naspers to become our shareholder. Ctrip will continue to work hard to create greater value to our customers, our partners and all shareholders,” Jane Sun, CEO of Ctrip commented.

 

Deep Kalra, Chairman and Group CEO of MakeMyTrip, said: “We are grateful for the unstinting support Naspers has provided us over the last couple of years. We have worked with Ctrip in the past years and are excited to take this partnership to the next level. We will leverage this investment to benefit from the tremendous growth potential in travel and tourism between our two countries.” Rajesh Magow, Co-founder and CEO-India of MakeMyTrip, continued: “Today’s announcement provides a major boost for MakeMyTrip and the rapidly growing travel industry in India. This partnership will benefit all our stakeholders including employees, customers and business partners. We look forward to working with the Ctrip team to continue to take our business to the next level.”

 

“MakeMyTrip has transformed travel in India and beyond since 2000. The agreement we have announced today is a significant step in the growth ambitions of both MakeMyTrip and Ctrip and we believe continuing to support them as a shareholder will create additional value for Naspers and our shareholders,” said Bob van Dijk, Naspers CEO.
