Resolution criteria

This market will resolve to YES if Uber Technologies, Inc. (or a wholly-owned subsidiary) officially completes its acquisition/takeover of Delivery Hero SE on or before December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM UTC.

"Completion" is defined as the formal closing of the transaction, where ownership/control of Delivery Hero is officially transferred to Uber. This must be confirmed by official company statements on Uber Investor Relations or Delivery Hero Investor Relations, or in filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or German regulatory authorities (BaFin).

If the transaction is not completed by the deadline—including if it remains pending, is delayed into 2027 or later, or if the deal is terminated—the market will resolve to NO.

Background

On July 16, 2026, Uber announced a voluntary public takeover offer to acquire German food delivery company Delivery Hero in an all-cash deal valuing the company's equity at approximately €13 billion ($14.8 billion). Uber published its formal offer document on August 27, 2026, initiating a shareholder acceptance period running through November 5, 2026.

Although Uber has secured commitments giving it a roughly 53% economic interest in Delivery Hero, the transaction remains subject to merger control clearances and regulatory approvals across numerous global jurisdictions. As of August 2026, both companies expect the transaction to close in the second half of 2027. This market tracks whether the acquisition can be completed significantly ahead of schedule, by the end of 2026.
