Convertible Bonds Today, the management board of Delivery Hero, with approval of the supervisory board, resolved to issue two tranches ("Tranche A" and "Tranche B") of senior, unsecured convertible bonds with an aggregate principal amount of EUR 1.0 billion with an upsize option of up to EUR 250 million, maturing in April 2026 (Tranche A) and March 2029 (Tranche B) (the "Convertible Bonds"). The Convertible Bonds will be convertible into newly issued or existing Delivery Hero registered shares with no par value. Shareholders' subscription rights have been excluded. The Convertible Bonds will be issued at 100% of their nominal value with a denomination of EUR 100,000 each and - unless previously converted, repurchased or redeemed - will be redeemed at par at maturity. The Convertible Bonds will be offered with an annual interest rate between 0.500% and 1.000% (Tranche A) and 1.625% and 2.125% (Tranche B), payable semi-annually, and a conversion premium of 40.0% to 45.0% (Tranche A) and 40.0% to 45.0% (Tranche B) above the reference price, being the placement price per Delivery Hero share in the Concurrent Offering of Existing Shares (as defined below).

The Company will be entitled to redeem the Convertible Bonds at any time (i) on or after September 30, 2024 (Tranche A) and on or after September 30, 2025 (Tranche B) if the stock exchange price per Delivery Hero share amounts to at least 130% (Tranche A) or 150% (Tranche B) of the then relevant conversion price over a certain period or (ii) if 15% or less of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant tranche of the Convertible Bonds remain outstanding.
