INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

This Amendment on Schedule 13D (the “Amendment”) amends the prior statement on Schedule 13D filed by MIH Internet SEA Private Limited, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Singapore (“MIH”), and Naspers Limited, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Republic of South Africa (“Naspers”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 5, 2019 (the “Schedule 13D”). This Amendment is the Reporting Persons’ (as defined below) final amendment to the Schedule 13D and constitutes an exit filing, as the Reporting Persons have ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than five percent, in the aggregate, of the Ordinary Shares of Trip.com Group Limited (formerly known as Ctrip.com International, Ltd, the “Issuer”) due to an increase in total Ordinary Shares outstanding as a result of additional equity issuances by the Issuer and certain share transfers made in connection with an internal reorganization.

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is amended by replacing the first two paragraphs under (a) - (c) with the following:

This Statement on Schedule 13D is being filed jointly by MIH Internet SEA Private Limited, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Singapore (“MIH”), MIH Internet Holdings B.V. (“MIH Holdings”), Prosus N.V., a limited liability company organized under the laws of The Netherlands (“Prosus”), and Naspers Limited, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Republic of South Africa (“Naspers” and, together with MIH, MIH Holdings and Prosus, the “Reporting Persons”).

MIH is a wholly owned subsidiary of MIH B2C Holdings B.V., a private limited liability company organized under the laws of The Netherlands (“MIH B2C”). MIH B2C is a wholly owned subsidiary of MIH e-commerce Holdings B.V., a private limited liability company organized under the laws of The Netherlands (“MIH e-commerce”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of MIH Holdings. MIH Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of Prosus. Prosus is a publicly-traded company listed on Euronext Amsterdam. As of February 3, 2023, Naspers held a 75.56% voting interest in Prosus and a 42.94% economic interest. Naspers is a publicly-traded company listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Naspers, Prosus and the aforementioned wholly owned subsidiaries of Prosus are collectively referred to herein as the “Naspers Entities”.

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is amended by replacing paragraphs (d) and (e) with the following:

(d) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the Directors and Officers, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the Directors and Officers, has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is amended by adding to the following to Schedule A (Entities):

Prosus N.V.	The Netherlands	Symphony Offices, Gustav Mahlerplein 5 1082MS Amsterdam The Netherlands

Schedule B (Directors and Officers) referred to in Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is amended by adding the items in Schedule I hereto.

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is amended by replacing the first paragraph with the following:

As a result of the closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated under the share purchase agreement dated as of April 26, 2019 among the Issuer, MIH and MIH B2C (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) on August 30, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), MIH and, indirectly, Naspers became the beneficial owners of, in aggregate, 4,108,831 ordinary shares, par value $0.01, of the Issuer (the “Purchase Shares”).

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

As of the date of the Amendment, MIH is the holder of record of 8 Ordinary Shares and MIH Holdings is the holder of record of 30,007,608 Ordinary Shares. Naspers (and certain Naspers Entities) may be considered to beneficially own in aggregate 30,007,616 Ordinary Shares, representing 4.7% of the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares, by virtue of its (and certain Naspers Entities’) control over MIH and MIH Holdings. The percentage of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is based upon 641,329,557 issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares (excluding 23,432,968 treasury shares of the Issuer and 41,773,397 Ordinary Shares issued to Bank of New York Mellon, the depositary of the Issuer’s ADS program, for bulk issuance of ADSs reserved for future issuances upon the exercise or vesting of awards granted under the Issuer’s stock incentive plans and for the Issuer’s treasury ADSs) as reported in the Issuer’s most recent Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on April 27, 2022.

(b)

As of the date hereof, and as a result of the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership, in aggregate, of 30,007,616 Ordinary Shares, the Reporting Persons are deemed to beneficially own, in aggregate, by reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 under the Act, 30,007,616 Ordinary Shares. The number of Ordinary Shares as to which there is sole power to vote or direct the vote, shared power to vote or direct the vote, sole power to dispose or direct the disposition, or shared power to dispose or direct the disposition for the Reporting Persons is set forth in Items 7 through 13 on the cover pages to the Amendment, which are incorporated by reference in their entirety into this Item 5(b). See Item 2 of Schedule 13D, as amended, for information on the Naspers Entities.

(c)

Except as reported in Schedule 13D, as amended, there have been no transactions effected by the Reporting Persons with respect to any Ordinary Shares in the past 60 days.

(d)

MIH and MIH Holdings are currently the only persons that have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Ordinary Shares.

(e)

As of the date of the Amendment, the Reporting Persons no longer beneficially own more than five percent of the Ordinary Shares.

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is amended by adding the following paragraph as the last paragraph of Item 6:

On March 31, 2020, MIH distributed substantially all of the Purchase Shares that it held to its shareholders, resulting in transfers of (a) 3,750,951 ordinary shares, par value $0.01 to MIH Holdings and (b) 357,879 ordinary shares, par value $0.01 to TCH Purple Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tencent Holdings Ltd, a company listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong. After such transfers, MIH held one ordinary share, par value $0.01. Following the share subdivision on March 18, 2021, as reported in the Issuer’s most recent Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on April 27, 2022, (i) MIH became the holder of record of 8 Ordinary Shares and (ii) MIH Holdings became the holder of record of 30,007,608 Ordinary Shares.
