● Remaining Shares can be tendered during the Post-Closing Acceptance Period, which runs from 3 October 2025 to 16 October 2025 at 17:40 CEST
Amsterdam, the Netherlands / Johannesburg, South Africa, 2 October 2025 – Prosus and JET are pleased to announce today that Prosus declares the Offer unconditional (gestanddoening). During the Offer Period, 182,084,104 Shares were tendered which represent approximately 90.13% of the issued and outstanding share capital of JET. As a result, all Offer Conditions described in the Offer Memorandum have been satisfied and the deal can now successfully close.
Fabricio Bloisi, Prosus’s CEO said, “I’m very pleased with the outcome of the tender offer, and excited to welcome JET to the Prosus ecosystem. JET has a solid foundation, but for Prosus the hard work starts now. Our goal is to act quickly to transform JET through a focus on product, customer and innovation, creating a true European tech champion that will reshape the future of food delivery.”
Jitse Groen, JET's CEO said, “As the tender offer has now been made unconditional, I would like to congratulate Fabricio and his team on the acquisition. We are looking forward to working with our new owner to accelerate growth, and are excited about building a bright future together.”
With reference to the Offer Memorandum, Shareholders who accepted the Offer shall receive the Offer Price (or the ADS Offer Price in respect of tendered ADSs) for each Share validly tendered (or defectively tendered, provided that such defect has been waived by the Offeror) and transferred (geleverd) for acceptance pursuant to the Offer, under the terms and conditions of the Offer and subject to its restrictions.
Settlement of the Shares and payment of the Offer Price (or the ADS Offer Price in respect of the tendered ADSs) will take place on 6 October 2025. Following Settlement, Prosus will hold 182,084,104 Shares, representing approximately 90.13% of the issued and outstanding share capital of JET (calculated as of the date of this press release).
Shareholders who have not tendered their Shares during the Offer Period will have the opportunity to tender their Shares under the same terms and conditions applicable to the Offer during the Post-Closing Acceptance Period which will start at 09:00 CEST on 3 October 2025 and end at 17:40 CEST on 16 October 2025 (the Post-Closing Acceptance Period). The Offeror shall continue to accept for payment all Shares validly tendered (or defectively tendered, provided that such defect has been waived by the Offeror) during such Post-Closing Acceptance Period and shall pay for such Shares no later than three Business Days following the last day of the Post-Closing Acceptance Period.
The Offeror will publicly announce the results of the Post-Closing Acceptance Period and the total amount and total percentage of Shares held by it in accordance with Section 17 paragraph 4 of the Decree ultimately on the third Business Day following the last day of the Post-Closing Acceptance Period.
During the Post-Closing Acceptance Period, Shareholders have no right to withdraw Shares from the Offer, whether validly tendered (or defectively tendered, provided that such defect has been waived by the Offeror) during the Acceptance Period or during the Post-Closing Acceptance Period.
Prosus and JET intend to procure the delisting of the Ordinary Shares on Euronext Amsterdam as soon as reasonably practicable. Delisting may further adversely affect the liquidity and market value of any Shares not tendered.
The composition of the Supervisory Board and Management Board of JET will not change upon Settlement.
Upon delisting, the changes to the composition of the Supervisory Board of JET, as approved by the EGM on 8 July 2025, will become effective. As of the date of the delisting, Dick Boer, Abbe Luersman, Angela Noon, Lloyd Frink and Mieke De Schepper will resign as members of the Supervisory Board of JET, and the appointments of Prosus' nominees Roberto Gandolfo, Fabricio Bloisi and Fahd Beg, will become effective.
If the Company is dissolved and liquidated as part of the Asset Sale and Liquidation, the members of the Supervisory Board of JET will resign upon the appointment of the Liquidator, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.11(f) (Asset Sale and Liquidation) and Section 5.18(c) (Post-Offer Restructuring Resolutions) of the Offer Memorandum.
Remaining Shareholders who do not wish to tender their Shares in the Post-Closing Acceptance Period should carefully review the sections of the Offer Memorandum that further explain the intentions of the Offeror, such as (but not limited to) section 5.11 (Implications of the Offer being declared unconditional), which describes certain implications to which such Shareholders may become subject with their continued shareholding in JET.
This includes Prosus’ and JET’s intention to implement the Asset Sale and Liquidation, which is described in detail in Section 5.11(f) (Asset Sale and Liquidation) of the Offer Memorandum, as soon as reasonably practicable. During the EGM held on 8 July 2025, all resolutions in respect of the Asset Sale and Liquidation were adopted.
JET separately announces an invitation to the holders of all of its outstanding convertible bonds (together the “Bonds”) to tender their Bonds for purchase by the Company for cash (the “Bonds Tender Offer”). More details on the Bonds Tender Offer will be announced imminently via JET's website on https://www.justeattakeaway.com/investors/offerings-and-transactions/default.aspx.
To finance the repurchase of the Bonds, Prosus and JET today entered into a convertible loan agreement pursuant to which Prosus will, subject to the Offer having been settled, make available to JET a convertible loan in an aggregate principal amount of up to approx. EUR 802 million on arm’s length terms (the “Loan”).
The Loan has a maturity of twelve (12) months and bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.50% per annum. At any time after Settlement, the Offeror may convert all or part of the outstanding principal amount under the Loan plus accrued but unpaid interest into newly issued Ordinary Shares of JET, each at a fixed conversion price of EUR 20.30 per Ordinary Share.
To the extent the newly issued Ordinary Shares upon conversion would exceed the authorisation of JET from the general meeting to issue new shares, the conversion of such part of the Loan will be conditional on the adoption of the relevant resolutions by JET’s general meeting of shareholders.
Unvested STI and LTI grants under the Company’s Management Board incentive plans will vest immediately prior to Settlement in accordance with Section 6.11(b) (Treatment of JET Incentive Plans until and at Settlement) of the Offer Memorandum. Pursuant to irrevocable undertakings dated 23 February 2025, the Company's Management Board members have undertaken to tender all Shares held by or on their behalf under the Offer. Accordingly, JET will, on behalf of the Company's (former) Management Board members, tender the accelerated vested Shares under the Offer during the Post-Closing Acceptance Period.
Any announcement contemplated by the Offer Memorandum will be issued by a press release. Any press release issued by Prosus will be made available on www.prosus.com. Any press release issued by JET will be made available on www.justeattakeaway.com.
Digital copies of the Offer Memorandum are available on Prosus’ website at https://www.prosus.com/prosus-to-acquire-just-eat-takeaway-to-create-a-european-food-delivery-champion and JET’s website at https://www.justeattakeaway.com/investors/shareholders-meetings/.
