Berlin, 4 April 2022 – Delivery Hero SE (“Delivery Hero” or the “Company”), the world’s leading local delivery platform, announces the syndication of a term loan financing transaction comprising of a USD 825 million term facility (“Dollar Term Facility”) and a EUR 300 million term facility (“Euro Term Facility” and, together with the Dollar Term Facility, the “Term Facilities”). The Term Facilities will have a maturity of 5.25 years. Concurrently with the signing of the Term Facilities, the Company expects to enter into a revolving credit facility (“RCF”) in the amount of EUR 375 million with a consortium of banks.

We have established a strong and diversified capital structure that provides us with financial flexibility and ample liquidity buffers to deliver on our strategic priorities. This financing transaction marks another important milestone for Delivery Hero as we are progressing on our objective of delivering superior growth while approaching group level profitability.

The proceeds from the Term Facilities will be used for general corporate purposes, including potential refinancing of convertible debt at maturity, working capital and guarantees. After having successfully placed convertible bonds in the market, this is another milestone in the financing structure of Delivery Hero and will help to diversify funding sources and further bolster the Company’s strong liquidity position for the next years to come. The RCF is expected to remain undrawn at closing of the transaction.
