Uber Buys 4.5% Delivery Hero Stake From Prosus for €270 Million

The sale helps Prosus meet EU conditions tied to its Just Eat takeover.

Overview

  • Uber, which agreed Friday to buy 13.6 million Delivery Hero shares at €20 each, will hold about 7% of the company.
  • Prosus reduced its Delivery Hero stake to about 21% from roughly 26–27% to satisfy European Commission conditions for its €4.1 billion Just Eat deal.
  • Delivery Hero shares rose about 8.5% after the announcement, with the €20 price below Thursday’s close yet about 22% above the one‑month average.
  • Prosus still needs to cut its holding further toward single digits by August to meet EU requirements, and the Just Eat transaction awaits final clearance.
  • The deal highlights rising cross‑ownership in European food delivery as regulators consider giving more weight to innovation and market resilience in merger reviews.
