The remuneration details were shared in the company's pre-listing statement.
MultiChoice Group Limited – which includes MultiChoice South Africa, MultiChoice Africa, and Showmax – is expected to begin trading on the JSE on 27 February, and was required to share the pre-listing document as a result.
This follows Naspers announcing in 2018 that it would list its video services as a separate business on the JSE.
"Listing MultiChoice Group via an unbundling aims to unlock value for Naspers shareholders and at the same time create an empowered, top 40 JSE-listed African entertainment company," said Naspers CEO Bob van Dijk.
"With strong financials, the flexibility of an ungeared balance sheet and deep local knowledge, we hope to deliver excellent returns to shareholders over time," said Group CEO Calvo Mawela.
