1Impairment, lost influence and eventual renunciation are different events
analysisMail.ru, later VK, appears in older Naspers portfolio records. The primary FY23 Prosus statements distinguish losing significant influence during the year ended March 2022 from a November 2022 agreement to renounce all VK shares and shareholder rights without consideration. 1 2
- qualification
- An accounting write-down or loss of significant influence does not by itself establish a legal share disposal. Here the later renunciation disclosure supplies the separate exit event. A journalistic comparison between Avito and VK’s Youla service does not establish common ownership after Avito’s sale.
- outcome
- The older VK holding is retained as historical, with the November 2022 renunciation disclosed beside it.
