Special Meeting of Shareholders

This Current Report on Form 6-K (this “Form 6-K”) relates to the Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) of Despegar.com, Corp. (the “Company” or “Despegar”) that was held at 1:00 p.m. (British Virgin Islands local time) on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, at the Company’s offices located at 4th Floor, Commerce House, Wickhams Cay 1, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. At the Special Meeting, the Company’s shareholders were asked to consider and vote on (a) a proposal to adopt and approve (i) the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 23, 2024 (such agreement, as it may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among MIH Internet Holdings B.V., a Netherlands private limited liability company (besloten vennootschap) (“Parent”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prosus N.V. (“Prosus”), MIH Investments Merger Sub Limited, a British Virgin Islands business company with limited liability (“Merger Sub”) and a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Parent, and Despegar, providing for the acquisition of Despegar by Parent via the Merger (as defined below), (ii) the plan of merger attached as Annex B to the Proxy Statement (as defined below) and in substantially the form agreed to in the Merger Agreement (the “Plan of Merger”), and (iii) all transactions contemplated by the foregoing (including, without limitation, the finalization, execution and filing of the articles of merger and Plan of Merger with the Registry of Corporate Affairs in the British Virgin Islands) (collectively, the “Merger Proposal”), and (b) a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, including to solicit additional proxies to approve the Merger Proposal if there were insufficient votes to approve the Merger Proposal at the time of the Special Meeting (the “Adjournment Proposal”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, Parent will acquire Despegar via the merger of Merger Sub with and into Despegar, with the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub thereupon ceasing and Despegar continuing as the surviving company and a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).

Shareholders accounting for 61,597,319 ordinary shares of the Company, which represented 73.7% of the ordinary shares entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, were present in person or by proxy, representing a quorum. Each shareholder has one vote for each of the Company’s ordinary shares.

The Merger Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the Merger Proposal were approved by approximately 94.7% of the total votes cast at the Special Meeting. As a result, there was no need for the Adjournment Proposal to be voted on.

The Merger is currently expected to close in the second quarter of 2025, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. If and when the Merger is completed, the Company’s ordinary shares will be delisted from the NYSE and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Company’s ordinary shares will no longer be publicly traded. As such, Despegar will no longer file periodic reports under the Exchange Act with the SEC.
