The app connects users with restaurants, grocery chains, pharmacies and retail stores, and also includes an "anything" category that allows users to order whatever they want in their city. Delivery Hero has held an interest in Glovo since 2018 and at the time of the conclusion of the Sale Agreements holds an interest of approximately 44% on a non-fully diluted basis. Glovo is therefore considered a related party of Delivery Hero within the meaning of Sec. 111a para. 1 sent. 2 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG).

The Delivery Hero platforms in the aforementioned countries will be rebranded to Glovo's company brand during a transitional period of 6 months.

The consideration paid by Glovo is based on a valuation in line with market conditions and is evaluated by an external fairness opinion provider to be within the fair value range for Delivery Hero. The terms and conditions of the Sale Agreements are, in the opinion of the Management Board of Delivery Hero, reasonable and in line with market conditions.

Accordingly, during the course of 2020, the Perimeter had GMV of EUR 195 million, net revenues of EUR 37 million and a negative EBITDA of EUR 18 million. In the same period, the Perimeter represented approx. 14% of orders in our Europe segment and 11% of GMV of the Delivery Hero Europe geographical segment.
