In a significant development within the food delivery sector, Prosus announced on Friday an agreement to divest a 4.5% stake in German company Delivery Hero to ride-sharing giant Uber. The transaction, valued at approximately 270 million euros, involves the sale of 13.6 million Delivery Hero shares at 20 euros each.

These conditions are linked to Prosus's acquisition of Just Eat Takeaway and are designed to address potential competition issues within the food delivery industry.
