But the deal could attract scrutiny from antitrust ⁠regulators due to overlap in the companies' operations.• Delivery Hero could announce the deal as early as Thursday, with Uber paying ​roughly €41 per ​share, the Financial Times reported, ​citing multiple people familiar ‌with the matter.• The terms and timing have not been finalized and could still change.• Under the proposed deal, Delivery Hero will split off part of its business, selling its Turkish unit Yemeksepeti and several European operations to an investment ‌firm, in an effort to limit ​geographic overlap with Uber and reduce ​potential antitrust scrutiny, the ​report said.• Both Delivery Hero and Uber did ‌not immediately respond to a ​Reuters request for ​comment.• The discussions follow months of speculation over Delivery Hero's future. Uber approached the company in May with ​a €38 per share ‌offer that investors viewed as too low, according to ​media reports.($1 = 0.8715 euros)(Reporting by Juby Babu in Mexico ​City; Editing by Tasim Zahid)Terms and Privacy PolicyEU DSA contactPrivacy & Cookie SettingsMore Info
