Just Eat Takeaway takes action against Delivery Hero over stake
LONDON (Reuters) - Online food delivery company Just Eat Takeaway <TKWY.AS> said on Monday it had started arbitration proceedings against a move by rival Delivery Hero <DHER.DE> to increase its stake in the company because it said it broke a standstill undertaking.
German-based Delivery Hero said last month it had entered into an agreement to acquire 8.4 million shares in Just Eat Takeaway for 798 million euros (£687 million), financed by a multi-year equity collar transaction, which included about 400,000 shares it acquired when it sold its German food delivery businesses to Takeway.com last year.
