Berlin, 18 March 2024 – Delivery Hero SE ("Delivery Hero" or the "Company", ISIN: DE000A2E4K43, Frankfurt Stock Exchange: DHER), today announces the launch of a convertible bond tender offer, inviting current bondholders to submit offers to sell any and all of the outstanding convertible bonds due 2025 (ISIN: DE000A3H2WP2) (the "2025 Bonds") and up to EUR 100 million principal amount of the outstanding convertible bonds due 2026 (ISIN: DE000A3MP429) (the “2026 Bonds”). The Management Board and the Supervisory Board of Delivery Hero decided today to increase the intended buyback amount from at least EUR 300 million to approximately EUR 600 million (the “Target Amount”). Delivery Hero reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to purchase less than or more than the Target Amount and to determine the respective purchase amount of the 2025 Bonds and the 2026 Bonds. The Company invites the holders of the 2025 Bonds, whose outstanding principal amount is EUR 500 million as of today (following an already completed buyback in the amount of EUR 250 million in 2023), to tender for purchase for cash any and all of the 2025 Bonds, whereby the decision to accept an offer to sell is at the Company's sole and absolute discretion (the "2025 Bonds Repurchase Invitation"). The repurchase price per 2025 Bond tendered under the 2025 Bonds Repurchase Invitation is 94.75% of the principal amount per 2025 Bond (equal to EUR 94,750 per 2025 Bond). The Company will also pay interest accrued on the purchased 2025 Bonds from and including the interest payment date for the 2025 Bonds immediately preceding the Invitation Settlement Date to but excluding the Invitation Settlement Date. The Company also invites the holders of the 2026 Bonds, whose outstanding principal amount is EUR 750 million as of today, to tender for purchase for cash up to EUR 100 million principal amount of the 2026 Bonds, whereby the decision to accept an offer to sell is at the Company's sole and absolute discretion (the "2026 Bonds Repurchase Invitation" and together with the 2025 Bonds Repurchase Invitation, the “Repurchase Invitations”). The repurchase price per 2026 Bond tendered under the 2026 Bonds Repurchase Invitation will be determined by the Company in accordance with the modified reverse Dutch auction procedure, but is at least 89.00% of the principal amount per 2026 Bond (equal to EUR 89,000 per 2026 Bond). The Company will also pay interest accrued on the purchased 2026 Bonds from and including the interest payment date for the 2026 Bonds immediately preceding the Invitation Settlement Date to but excluding the Invitation Settlement Date. The Repurchase Invitations will start today, 18 March 2024, at 19:45 CET and expire at 16:00 CET on 20 March 2024, unless amended, extended, re-opened or terminated. Settlements of the Repurchase Invitations are subject to settlements of the add-on term loan facilities announced on 8 March 2024 and successfully syndicated, totaling to EUR 740 million (i.e. the add-on facility of EUR 500 million equivalent US Dollar Term Facility and a EUR 540 million Term Facility replacing and upsizing the existing EUR 300 million facility). These facilities are expected to settle on or around 20 March 2024, and the settlements of the Repurchase Invitations are expected to take place on or around 26 March 2024.
