Exclusive-Prosus set to win EU nod for $4.74 billion Just Eat deal, sources say
BRUSSELS :Dutch technology investor Prosus is set to win EU antitrust approval for its 4.1 billion euro ($4.7 billion) bid for Just Eat Takeaway, after agreeing to sell down its stake in Delivery Hero, people with direct knowledge of the matter said. Amsterdam-headquartered Prosus, which is majority owned by South Africa's Naspers, announced the deal in February, banking on its artificial intelligence capability to boost Just Eat Takeaway, Europe's biggest meal delivery company. Prosus last month offered to incrementally sell down its 27.4 per cent stake in Delivery Hero and to give up its board seat to address EU competition concerns, other people familiar with the matter had told Reuters. Delivery Hero and Just Eat Takeaway compete with each other in Austria, Bulgaria, Italy, Poland and Spain. The European Commission, which is now seeking market feedback to Prosus' offer and will decide on the deal by August 11, declined to comment. Prosus also declined to comment. The deal would make Prosus the world's fourth-largest food delivery company after Meituan, DoorDash and Uber, according to ING analysts. Delivery Hero and its Spanish unit Glovo were fined 329 million euros by the EU antitrust watchdog in June for taking part in a cartel which included an agreement to divide up markets among themselves and not to poach each other's employees.

KYIV - Ukrainian rescue workers on Aug 1 uncovered the body of a two-year-old, as they finished work following a Russian attack the day prior that killed 31 people in all. Kyiv observed a day of mourning after the deadliest attack in the Ukrainian capital this year ripped open a nine-storey residential building, wounding 159 people and claiming the lives of five children. 'This despicable attack by Russia shows that additional pressure and sanctions on Moscow are necessary,' Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Aug 1, announcing rescue operations had wrapped up. 'We appreciate that (US) President (Donald) Trump, European leaders and our other partners clearly see what is happening and condemn Russia,' he added. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas on Aug 1 described the Russian attacks as 'depraved' and posted a picture of the bloc's flag at half mast. 'More weapons for Ukraine and tougher sanctions on Russia are the fastest way to end the war. Getting more air defences to Ukraine fast is our priority,' she added in a post. Separately, one person was also killed in a Russian attack early on Aug 1 on Zaporizhzhia, in south-east Ukraine, the region's military administration said on Telegram. Top stories Swipe. Select.
