Technology investment firm Prosus NV and its South African parent Naspers on Tuesday rejected as “untrue” a report that they are in talks to sell their large stake in Chinese software and gaming giant Tencent.
In a pre-market statement, Amsterdam-based Prosus said an article in Asian Tech Press citing unnamed sources saying that Naspers was in talks with a group of investors led by state-backed CITIC of China to sell its entire Tencent stake was “speculative and untrue”.
