Holding compan= with stakes in high quality Internet properties around the world including=Tencent, Mail.ru

Nasp=rs crystallized over $12bn realizing impressive returns = 5,500x on Tence=t and 3.7x on Flipkart. Zero impact on
the discount for 2 reasons 1) limite= visibility on use of proceeds and no buybacks 2) flows have not been helpf=l as
South African investors materially reduced their ownership in Naspers.=Why Buy now? 3 upcoming catalysts. 1) We
think the company will change mgmt= incentive compensation at AGM August 2018 similar to the strategy Altaba used
with a bonus multiplier. 2) With $lob in c=sh mgmt can unbundle legacy pay TV business (=orth $8b) as company is less
dependent on cash flows. 3) Buyback debate. As=et disposals have had no impact on the discount. $5bn buyback is self-
help t=ol that would close discount 2% a needed move in right direction. PO 4,800 ZAR based on SOW applying 30%
holdco discount. 40% upside. Catalyst AGM in August. Note.<=span>

In a rare event for the market, we hosted US1-rated XOM last week. W='re comfortable with our street-high PO as
mgmt. remain committed t=ward plans to double FCF by 2025 vs under investment risk by the other 'maj=rs'. Following
relative underperformance post 4Q, we believe the market40.99s beginning to come around. Rather than buybacks &
de-leverage at the=bottom, XOM was investing through-the-cycle, granting them the opportunity/=lexibility to now
high-grade their portfolio, while accelerate opportunitie= to rationalize non-core assets. Growth is ratable, commencing
in 2H18 with=milestones to underpin confidence in delivery. Pace of Permian activity alo=e = earlier inflection? = parallel

RENAULT: SPEC SITS BUY.
High conviction from BAML S=ecial Sits in London. Risk-reward now asymmetric. We see downside to 40=824)75-80 if
the event it's ruled out vs. €95-125 upon a m=rger. Catalyst = Annual meeting tomorrow. Market currently pricing in
