EU told Prosus to give up its Delivery Hero stake in exchange for acquiring Just Eat Takeaway.
Tech investor Prosus wants the European Union not to force it to sell off Delivery Hero shares, as Uber eyes acquiring the German food delivery group, Bloomberg reported, citing sources close to the matter.
The Commission imposed share sale as part of a series of antitrust remedies in order to approve Prosus’ €4.1bn acquisition of Just Eat Takeaway in August 2025.
The EU was concerned that Prosus’ near 30pc stake in Delivery Hero – a Just Eat Takeaway competitor – would cause less competition and a higher likelihood of coordination between the two companies, which could lead to higher prices for consumers.
