Prosus Stake Reduction: Prosus has proposed to reduce its stake in Delivery Hero to below 10% and relinquish its board seat to alleviate EU concerns regarding its €4.1 billion acquisition of Just Eat Takeaway, following the European Commission's skepticism about its influence over Delivery Hero.
EU Antitrust Issues: The European Commission previously fined Delivery Hero and Glovo €329 million for participating in a cartel, and despite Prosus's assurances, the EU remains unconvinced about the lack of control over Delivery Hero due to its significant stake.
