Berlin, February 13, 2023 – Delivery Hero SE ("Delivery Hero" or the "Company"), the world’s leading local delivery platform, successfully placed senior, unsecured convertible bonds with a principal amount of EUR 1,000 million and a maturity in February 2030. The new issue is divided into 10,000 convertible bonds, with a nominal value of EUR 100,000 each. Initially, the convertible bonds can be converted into approximately 17,316,017 new or existing ordinary no-par value registered shares of Delivery Hero. The convertible bonds will be issued at 100% of their nominal value and with a coupon of 3.25% p.a., payable on a semi-annual basis. The initial conversion price of EUR 57.75 corresponds to a conversion premium of 40.0% above the reference price of EUR 41.25 [1]. The convertible bonds have been placed in a private placement exclusively with institutional investors in certain jurisdictions. Shareholders' subscription rights were excluded. The issuance of the convertible bonds is awaited on or around February 21, 2023, while their admission to trading on the non-regulated open market (Freiverkehr) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange is expected shortly thereafter. The Company will be entitled to redeem the convertible bonds at any time (i) on or after September 11, 2028 if the stock exchange price per Delivery Hero share over a certain period of time amounts to at least 150% of the then applicable conversion price, or (ii) if 20% or less of the aggregate nominal amount of convertible bonds remain outstanding. Holders of the convertible bonds will be entitled to require an early redemption of their convertible bonds on August 21, 2028. The value of the redemption shall consist of its principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest. Simultaneously, a placement of existing shares in the Company has been conducted on behalf of the convertible bond investors who wish to hedge the market risk of investing in the convertible bonds. The placement price has been determined by way of an accelerated bookbuilding process. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the offering of existing shares. The Company will receive gross proceeds amounting to EUR 1,000 million from the convertible bonds. Delivery Hero’s intention is to use the proceeds to finance the mentioned tender offer - which has been announced concurrently to the offering of convertible bonds - and for general corporate purposes. The tender offer process will start at 8:00 CET and expire at 17:30 CET on February 14, 2023.
