Delivery Hero announces financing transaction to extend its existing term facilities and to raise add-on term facilities, and to purchase selected convertible bonds via a tender offer

Berlin, 4 March 2024 – Delivery Hero SE ("Delivery Hero" or the "Company", ISIN: DE000A2E4K43, Frankfurt Stock Exchange: DHER), today announces the launch of a financing transaction intended to amend and extend its outstanding USD 813 million term facility and EUR 300 million term facility (respectively, the "Dollar Term Facility" and the "Euro Term Facility") and to raise one or more additional add-on term facilities in an aggregate amount of approximately EUR 500 million equivalent (“Add-on Term Facilities”, together with the Dollar Term Facility and the Euro Term Facility, the "Term Facilities").

The transaction is launched to amend the terms of Delivery Hero’s existing term facilities in the Company’s favor, to extend the maturity from August 2027 to December 2029 and to lower the cost of debt.

Delivery Hero intends to use at least EUR 300 million of the Add-on Term Facilities to repurchase selected outstanding convertible bonds. Depending on the tender dynamics and outcome, any remaining amount will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include additional buybacks of outstanding convertible bonds.

With respect to the buyback of the convertible bonds, the Company intends to launch a tender offer to partially repurchase for cash, (i) the 2025 bonds (i.e. the convertible bonds due 2025 (ISIN: DE000A3H2WP2) with an outstanding principal amount of EUR 500 million as of today, following an already completed buyback in the amount of EUR 250 million in 2023) and (ii) the 2026 bonds (i.e. the convertible bonds due 2026 (ISIN: DE000A3MP429), with an outstanding principal amount of EUR 750 million as of today). The decision to accept the repurchase offers will be at the Company's sole and absolute discretion. Further announcements relating to such repurchases will be made in due course.
