Delivery Hero AG sets number of new shares to be issued and placement price of new shares

Berlin, December 6, 2017 - Today, Delivery Hero AG ("Delivery Hero") set the number of new shares to be issued through a partial exercise of its authorized capital to 10,500,000 new ordinary registered shares with no-par value (Stückaktien) ("New Shares"). The placement price for the New Shares was set at EUR 34.50. Following the successful placement of all New Shares, Delivery Hero will receive gross issue proceeds in the amount of EUR 362.25 million.

The New Shares, together with an additional 2,000,000 existing shares offered by a group of minority shareholders that had already been invested in Delivery Hero before its initial public offering ("IPO") (together, the "Sellers"), have been placed with institutional investors by way on an accelerated bookbuilt offering. The total placement therefore amounts to a total of 12,500,000 shares.

The group of Sellers, comprising 7 legal entities owned in aggregate 4.3 million shares in Delivery Hero prior to the offering. Following the placement, a total of 2.3 million shares of the Sellers are subject to a lock-up commitment until and including March 27, 2018. Pre-IPO shareholders not selling in this transaction will continue to be subject to their initial IPO lock-up commitments which expire on December 27, 2017.

Core shareholder Naspers has participated in the capital increase according to its current shareholding.
