Berlin, 14 February 2023 – Delivery Hero SE ("Delivery Hero" or the "Company"), the world’s leading local delivery platform, announces the results of the Company’s offer to buy back a portion of its outstanding 2024 and 2025 convertible bonds. Delivery Hero has decided to repurchase EUR 476.4 million of the convertible bonds due in 2024, which, following partial buybacks in 2022, add up to approximately 62.4% of the outstanding principal amount not held by the Company. The repurchase of the convertible bonds maturing in 2025, representing approximately 33.3% of the outstanding principal value, amounts to EUR 250.0 million. To fund these buybacks, Delivery Hero will use proceeds from the successful placement of EUR 1,000.0 million convertible bonds due in 2030, announced yesterday. The price per EUR 100,000 nominal amount is EUR 96,375 for the 2024 convertible bonds, and EUR 86,250 for the 2025 convertible bonds. In addition, the Company will pay interest accrued on the repurchased 2024 and 2025 convertible bonds. The buyback settlement date is expected to occur on February 23, 2023. The interest per bond will then be EUR 21.41 for the 2024 convertible bonds, and EUR 94.27 for the 2025 convertible bonds. Following the repurchase, 2024 convertible bonds in an aggregate principal amount of EUR 287.0 million will remain outstanding. The remaining outstanding 2025 convertible bonds will represent an aggregate principal of EUR 500.0 million. With this transaction, Delivery Hero intends to strengthen its balance sheet and improve its debt maturity profile while preserving a strong liquidity position. HSBC, J.P. Morgan and Morgan Stanley act as dealer managers for the repurchase of outstanding convertible bonds.
