Delivery Hero (DHER GY) board recommends holders accept Uber (UBER) takeover bid, reports Bloomberg TV

A board recommendation shifts a bid from unsolicited to agreed, and in German takeovers that step is significant because the target management's stance, formalised in the reasoned opinion required under the German takeover code, heavily shapes acceptance rates once the offer document is published.

Context

The sequence from here is well-worn: formal offer document, regulatory clearances with competition review the live issue given overlap in food delivery and mobility markets, and the minimum acceptance threshold that determines whether the bidder can squeeze out remaining holders. The telling detail in episodes of this kind is whether the recommendation is conditioned, whether major shareholders of the target have already committed irrevocables, and whether the offer is cash, shares, or a mix, since a share component ties arbitrage spreads to the acquirer's own equity. The spread between target price and offer terms is the trade from here, and it has historically compressed on agreed deals but widened when antitrust conditions look heavy, which food delivery combinations have frequently attracted. Watching whether the bidder signals willingness to raise, and any counterparty interest, is the standard next step.
