Delivery Hero Confirms Uber Takeover Offer at €41.50

In Short

Uber has made a voluntary public takeover offer for Delivery Hero at €41.50 in cash per share.

Delivery Hero published a joint statement from its Management Board and Supervisory Board on September 2, 2026.

The filing lists Talabat entities as part of Delivery Hero’s group, which links the deal to Talabat’s parent-company ownership.

What Happened

Delivery Hero said it has published documentation relating to Uber’s voluntary public takeover offer. A takeover offer is when one company offers to buy shares in another company, usually to gain control.

The offer price is €41.50 per Delivery Hero share, paid in cash. The documents were published under Germany’s Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act, a rulebook that sets the process for public bids and shareholder disclosures.

In the joint statement, Delivery Hero’s Management Board and Supervisory Board address the offer as required by law. The filing also includes information about the bidder, Uber International Technologies II Corporation, and describes entities that are considered part of the Delivery Hero group.

One notable point for MENA and Africa watchers is that the filing lists Talabat Holding PLC and Talabat Group Holding PLC among Delivery Hero’s entities. That matters because it ties Talabat’s ownership chain to any change in control at Delivery Hero.

For context on regional food delivery competition, Talabat operates in the same broad category as platforms like Uber Eats and Glovo.

Why It Matters

A confirmed cash offer and formal filings move this from market chatter to a process with clear steps, timelines, and regulatory checks. Shareholders now have a defined reference price and official documents to review.

For operators, investors, and partners across MENA and Africa, Talabat’s inclusion in the group structure is a reminder that large global M&A can affect local subsidiaries. That can show up later in strategy, reporting lines, and capital allocation.

The next key milestones are shareholder decisions and any regulatory outcomes that determine whether the takeover completes and on what final terms.
