FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

9 December 2019


Increased cash offer for JUST EAT PLC by MIH Food Delivery Holdings B.V. a 
wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Prosus N.V.
                                                  
                                       

1.      Increased Cash Offer

On 22 October 2019, Prosus N.V. (Prosus) announced the terms of a cash offer by its wholly-owned
indirect subsidiary MIH Food Delivery Holdings B.V. (MIH), to acquire the entire issued and to be
issued share capital of Just Eat plc (Just Eat) (the Offer Announcement). On 11 November 2019,
the Offer Document setting out the full terms and conditions of the Offer was published.

Today, Prosus is pleased to announce the terms of an increased cash offer for the entire issued and
to be issued share capital of Just Eat by MIH (the Increased Offer).

Under the terms of the Increased Offer, Just Eat Shareholders will be entitled to receive:

                             740 pence in cash for each Just Eat Share

The terms of the Increased Offer value the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of
Just Eat at approximately £5.1 billion and represent a premium of approximately:

•       25.6 per cent. to the Closing Price of 589 pence per Just Eat Share on 21 October 2019
        (being the last Business Day before the date of the Offer Announcement); and

•       24.6 per cent. to the value of the Takeaway.com Offer of 594 pence per Just Eat Share based
        on Takeaway.com’s Closing Price of €71.00 on 21 October 2019 (being the last Business Day
        before the date of the Offer Announcement);


                                               
MIH also announces today that it has reduced the level of acceptances required to satisfy the
Acceptance Condition to a simple majority (50 per cent. plus one Just Eat Share) of Just Eat Shares,
thereby significantly increasing deal certainty.

As a consequence of today’s announcement, the closing date of the Increased Offer has been
extended to 1.00 p.m. on 27 December 2019.

Save as set out in this announcement, the Increased Offer is subject to the same terms and
conditions as the Offer. The Increased Offer is a revision to the Offer and should be construed
accordingly.

Commenting on the Increased Offer, Bob van Dijk, the Group CEO of Prosus said:

“Following the announcement of our offer, we have had the opportunity to listen to the views of Just
Eat Shareholders, share our perspective on the global food delivery sector and reflect on the
unquestionable challenges Just Eat faces, as clearly seen in its Q3 results. We have also had
extensive discussions with our own shareholders with regards to our long term strategy for food
delivery and Just Eat’s role within that. We continue to believe in the sector and, as we have
demonstrated in Brazil, if you act decisively and invest effectively in technology as well as the
opportunities of own-delivery, then you can build an attractive growth business that is equipped to win
in the long-term. We believe the investment required is substantial and this impacts our view of
potential returns. As disciplined investors we obviously need to factor the required investment into our
value considerations.

Just Eat is a quality business, which we believe has all the ingredients to be transformed into a long-
term sector winner. In recognition of this potential, we have decided to increase our offer to 740 pence
per share, which we believe provides Just Eat Shareholders with compelling value and therefore good
reason to accept our all-cash offer. Unlike the Takeaway.com Offer, which relies on shares remaining
at an above sector multiple, our cash offer provides certainty of value to Just Eat Shareholders. We
urge shareholders to accept our offer, as it is the only one that delivers certainty in the face of
undeniable industry change.”

2.      Overview of the Increased Offer

Following Prosus’s offer for Just Eat, Prosus’s management have had extensive discussions with Just
Eat Shareholders to explain the rationale for the Offer and the compelling value it represents.
Prosus’s management have also had extensive discussions with Prosus’s own shareholders,
including at Prosus’s recent Capital Markets Day with regards to Prosus’s long-term strategy for food
delivery and Just Eat’s role in this strategy.

Prosus continues to believe that Just Eat is an attractive business, albeit one that requires investment
which has now also been acknowledged by the Just Eat Board, which Prosus has taken into account
when assessing the targeted return on investment for its shareholders and the price it can justify
offering for Just Eat.

Following careful consideration, and in the interest of bringing the process to a close, Prosus has
decided to increase its offer to 740 pence per Just Eat Share in cash, whilst also reducing its
acceptance condition to a simple majority (50 per cent. plus one Just Eat Share). Prosus believes the
Increased Offer underscores its commitment to the transaction and constitutes attractive and certain
value for Just Eat Shareholders, while allowing Prosus to target appropriate risk-adjusted returns for
its own shareholders.

The Increased Offer is at a 25.6 per cent premium to Just Eat’s closing share price on 21 October
2019 (the last Business Day before the date of the Prosus Offer Announcement), which Prosus                                                
believes compares favourably with precedent premia for such transactions in a UK context when
taking into account that the Just Eat share price on the day before the Offer Announcement (21
October 2019) of 589 pence already included a premium from the Takeaway.com Offer. The
Increased Offer also represents a 10.4 per cent. premium to the initial offer of 670p made to the Just
Eat Board by Prosus. Further, the value of the Increased Offer comes at a premium to the value of the
Takeaway.com Offer when it was announced of 731 pence, which was recommended by the Just Eat
Board. Prosus encourages the Just Eat Board to recognise the superior value of Prosus’s Increased
Offer.

The Increased Offer is superior to the look through value of the Takeaway.com Offer and provides
certainty of value for Just Eat Shareholders, in contrast to the significant risks associated with
swapping into the shares of a company currently trading on a revenue multiple 3 times higher than
Just Eat’s own unaffected multiple.

2.1       Prosus’s Increased Offer provides compelling and certain value for a business that is
          facing substantial challenges

While Prosus believes Just Eat is an attractive business with strong long-term potential, it is currently
facing significant challenges. Just Eat’s historically strong market positions are being eroded by
intensifying competition in the UK and other core markets, including Spain and Italy, with market
share loss recently accelerating in a number of markets. Just Eat has seen UK year-on-year order
growth deteriorate substantially from 30.9 per cent. in 2016 to 8 per cent. in Q3 2019 and UK EBITDA
margin decrease from 51.4 per cent. in 2016 to 35.2 per cent. in H1 2019. Just Eat has lost its leading
position in five of its thirteen markets. Unsurprisingly, shareholder returns have similarly suffered -
over the last two years Just Eat has delivered a negative shareholder return of -15.6 per cent. (versus
+4.3 per cent. for FTSE 350).

While the Just Eat price on the day before the date of the Prosus Offer Announcement (21 October
2019) was 589 pence, in Prosus’s view there is significant further downside risk to this share price.
The Just Eat Board has now acknowledged that increased investment is required and that this “may
impact” profitability. This statement was made after Prosus’s Offer Announcement and is not reflected
in the current Just Eat share price, which Prosus believes has decoupled from fundamentals and is
currently trading on M&A speculation. In a comparable context, Grubhub has seen significant
derating, and is now trading at 2.9x 2020 revenues – if Just Eat were trading at this multiple, the
illustrative share price would be 526 pence to which Prosus’s Increased Offer represents an
illustrative 40.7 per cent. premium (calculated by multiplying Just Eat’s consensus 2020 revenue by
2.9x and applying Just Eat’s enterprise value to equity bridge of -£31 million to get an illustrative
equity value of £3,614 million, then dividing by Just Eat’s fully diluted shares of 687 million to get an
illustrative share price of 526 pence per share).(1)

Prosus believes Takeaway.com’s claims about the lack of comparability between Just Eat’s and
Grubhub’s situations are flawed and fail to appreciate the competitive dynamics the two companies
are facing. Both companies are marketplace incumbents with a history of market leadership and
strong profitability. Both have been disrupted by intensifying competition from well-funded and rapidly
growing entrants operating an own-delivery led model. Despite attempts to defend their position by
rolling out own-delivery operations both companies have continued to lose market share and
experience slowing growth and decreased profitability.

(1)     This calculation is illustrative and should not be interpreted as a valuation estimate or profit forecast under
      the Takeover Code
                                                       
2.2       Prosus’s Increased Offer takes into account significant investments required in own-
          delivery, product, technology and marketing

Prosus believes Just Eat has underinvested in addressing the challenges outlined above, with only
£51 million invested in growth initiatives in 2018, substantially less than peers including iFood,
Grubhub and Delivery Hero. Prosus believes that this underinvestment has prevented Just Eat from
effectively transitioning to a hybrid model.

In Prosus’s view the 25 per cent. share of own-delivery orders that the Just Eat Board quotes masks
Just Eat’s lack of traction with its own-delivery rollout as it represents a blend of Canada (acquired by
Just Eat in December 2016) with 100 per cent. own-delivery and other geographies where own-
delivery represented only 7.8 per cent. of orders in H1 2019. Notably, within Just Eat’s portfolio,
Canada (100 per cent. own-delivery), and Brazil (greater than 20 per cent. own-delivery) exhibit vastly
superior growth compared to other assets such as UK, Spain and Italy where Just Eat is losing
market share at an accelerating pace to own-delivery competitors with a superior customer
proposition.

Just Eat’s track record in Australia and New Zealand starkly demonstrates how underinvestment can
erode value. Just Eat acquired Menulog in May 2015 for £421 million. Prosus believes Menulog was
slow to react to the intensifying competitive pressure after Deliveroo and Uber Eats entered the
market, investing less than £10 million in 2018 to enhance its proposition. As a result, Menulog lost
market leadership and market share and suffered declining revenue. In 2017 Just Eat incurred a £180
million impairment relating to Menulog, and current broker consensus for Menulog’s SOTP value is
£104 million, 75 per cent. below the acquisition price.

This is in contrast to Brazil, where, with Prosus’s operating support and investment (in 2018, Prosus
announced an additional investment commitment of US$400 million in iFood) in partnership with Just
Eat, iFood has been able to swiftly react to competitive pressures, rapidly building out its own-delivery
capabilities and accelerating its growth.

As consistently stated by Prosus, and now acknowledged by Just Eat’s Board, Just Eat requires
increased investment, which Prosus intends to make in own-delivery, marketing, product and
technology. This investment need is taken into account in the value of the Increased Offer.

2.3       Prosus’s Increased Offer provides certainty whilst the Takeaway.com Offer carries
          significant risks for Just Eat Shareholders

The Takeaway.com Offer carries significant risk for Just Eat Shareholders with Takeaway.com’s
current share price of €86.50 marginally below its all-time high. Takeaway.com is trading at 9.9x
2020E enterprise value/revenue, two to three times the level of peers. This is in the context of
Takeaway.com’s Q3 2019 order growth slowing to 15 per cent. for the Netherlands and 21 per cent.
for Germany (by comparison, Prosus’s food assets are growing at 320 per cent. for Swiggy, 122 per
cent. for iFood and 92 per cent. for Delivery Hero). At these valuation levels, Prosus believes that
there is little room for execution missteps, further growth slowdown or increased competition.

Immediately prior to acquiring Delivery Hero’s German assets in 2018, Takeaway.com’s share price
was €44.90. Prosus believes that one of the key drivers of Takeaway.com’s strong share price
performance since the transaction has been an increase in the share of orders from Low Competition
Markets, which has increased from 37 per cent. in the nine months to September 2018 to 65 per cent.
in H1 2019. Combining with Just Eat would reduce Takeaway.com’s share of orders in Low
Competition Markets to 28 per cent., (2) which is materially below pre-Germany deal levels. Prosus
believes that this indicates that there is a very meaningful downside risk to the valuation of the
combined entity.
(2)   Based on H1 2019 orders

                                                
The limited synergies that Takeaway.com and Just Eat have announced represent just 1.6 per cent.
of the combined cost base. These limited synergies do not, in Prosus’s view, compensate for the risks
outlined above. These synergies also primarily come from “operational and technology efficiency”,
which Prosus believes relies on the 3 per cent. headcount reductions referenced by Takeaway.com.
This is in contrast to Prosus’s focus on investment.

2.4     Takeaway.com’s playbook developed in Germany and the Netherlands would not
        address Just Eat’s challenges

Prosus believes that Takeaway.com takes a narrow view of the food delivery sector based principally
on its experience in the Netherlands and Germany. These markets have so far been relatively
insulated from innovative and well-funded global own-delivery competitors meaning Takeaway.com
has limited experience of competing against own-delivery players operating at scale.

In contrast, in the UK both Uber Eats and Deliveroo have been operating at scale for years with large
and growing market share and consumers have come to expect the superior selection and service
quality these platforms deliver. As just one example, 20 of the Tripadvisor top 50 ranked restaurants
in London are listed on Deliveroo or Uber Eats, compared to six of 50 listed on Just Eat. Prosus
believes this illustrates the ability of innovative own-delivery platforms to unlock superior selection for
customers, leading to increasing variety / frequency of delivery occasions and ultimately superior
growth compared to underinvesting marketplace incumbents.

Prosus believes that the severe market share loss suffered by Menulog in Australia at the hands of
the same two own-delivery competitors provides a cautionary tale for Just Eat in the UK and other
markets. If the consumer demand for superior selection and service quality provided through the own-
delivery model is not addressed, then Just Eat Shareholders may well face the same reality of
meaningful market share loss and value erosion, but on a much larger scale.

Prosus does not believe Takeaway.com is well-positioned to help Just Eat address this challenge. In
both Berlin and Amsterdam, Takeaway.com offers only four of the Tripadvisor top 50 restaurants on
its platforms. While this marketplace-driven approach has so far worked in Takeaway.com’s markets
given the absence or lack of focus of global own-delivery competitors, Prosus believes the UK
situation is different and Takeaway.com’s playbook will not help address the significantly higher
customer expectations in Just Eat’s markets.

2.5     Takeaway.com is not the right partner to help Just Eat transition to an own-delivery
        focused hybrid model

The Just Eat Board is now acknowledging that building a hybrid own-delivery / marketplace model is
required for long-term success. Takeaway.com has very limited own-delivery experience and no
meaningful track record, with an own-delivery order share of just 4.9 per cent. Takeaway.com’s
management has repeatedly stated that it believes own-delivery to be an inferior business model that
cannot be profitable, which in Prosus’s view is not true and reflects Takeaway.com’s lack of own-
delivery experience and narrow view of the food delivery industry restricted to the European markets
Takeaway.com operates in. Prosus is confident that the own-delivery model is profitable at scale, as
shown by the performance of Swiggy, Just Eat Canada, Meituan Dianping and Wolt, which profitably
operates an own-delivery model in a number of European markets.

Furthermore, Just Eat and Takeaway.com appear not to be aligned on own-delivery strategy. Just Eat
plans to leverage their “world-class Skip technology and operational know-how to build own-delivery
capabilities” while Takeaway.com intends to roll-out its “Scoober restaurant delivery services in the                                             
UK”. Just Eat and Takeaway.com also appear to disagree on the expected impact of such growth
investments on profitability. Just Eat acknowledges the potentially negative impact on profitability,
whilst Takeaway.com claims that the roll out of own delivery (Scoober) will have “no material negative
impact on the bottom line”.

These contradictions demonstrate the reactive nature of Just Eat and Takeaway.com’s response to
the changing dynamics in the sector raised by Prosus and represent a lack of strategic alignment and
consistency, highlighting the operational execution risk attached to Takeaway.com’s offer. In contrast,
Prosus has been consistent throughout in its stated strategy for Just Eat.

Prosus believes that its initial Offer to Just Eat Shareholders provided fair and certain value.
The Increased Offer provides even more compelling and certain value for Just Eat’s
Shareholders at a further premium to Takeaway.com’s all-share offer, which comes with
significant risk.

Just Eat Shareholders are urged to accept the Increased Offer as soon as possible and, in any
event, by no later than 1.00 p.m. (London time) 27 December 2019.

3.      Financing of the Increased Offer

The cash consideration payable by MIH pursuant to the Increased Offer will be financed by a bridge
loan agreement with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch, BNP Paribas Fortis SA/NV,
Citibank, N.A., London Branch, Citibank, N.A., Jersey Branch, Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A.,
Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. and Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.a., Filiale Frankfurt am Main as original
lenders (the Original Lenders), providing for a term loan bridge facility. The proceeds of the bridge
facility will be used to fund the cash consideration payable by MIH to Just Eat Shareholders in
connection with the Increased Offer. Prosus has secured the fully committed bridge financing from the
Original Lenders.

J.P. Morgan Cazenove, as financial adviser to Prosus and MIH, is satisfied that the resources
available to MIH are sufficient to enable it to satisfy in full the cash consideration payable to Just Eat
Shareholders under the terms of the Increased Offer.

and other procedural requirements, which are different from certain United States disclosure and
procedural requirements, including with respect to withdrawal rights, offer timetable, settlement
procedures and timing of payments.

Furthermore, the payment and settlement procedure with respect to the Increased Offer will comply
with the relevant United Kingdom rules, which differ from US payment and settlement procedures,
particularly with regard to the date of payment of consideration.

In accordance with normal UK practice and consistent with Rule 14e-5(b) under the US Exchange
Act, MIH, certain affiliated companies and their nominees or brokers (acting as agents) may make
certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, shares in Just Eat other than pursuant to the
Increased Offer, before or during the period in which the Increased Offer remains open for
acceptance (or, if the Increased Offer is implemented by way of a Scheme, until the date on which the
Scheme becomes effective, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn). If such purchases or arrangements to
purchase were to be made they would be made outside the United States either in the open market at
prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices and would comply with applicable law,
including, to the extent applicable, the US Exchange Act. Any information about such purchases will
be disclosed as required in the UK and the Unites States, will be reported to a Regulatory Information
Service     and     will   be     available   on    the    London    Stock     Exchange      website   at
www.londonstockexchange.com. In addition, in accordance with normal UK practice and consistent
with Rule 14e-5(b) under the US Exchange Act, J.P. Morgan Cazenove and Morgan Stanley & Co.
International plc and their affiliates may continue to act as exempt principal traders in Just Eat Shares
on the London Stock Exchange and engage in certain other purchasing activities consistent with their
respective normal and usual practice and applicable law. Any information about such purchases will
be disclosed as required in the UK and the United States, will be reported to a Regulatory Information
Service     and     will   be     available   on    the    London    Stock     Exchange      website   at
www.londonstockexchange.com. To the extent that such information is made public in the United
Kingdom, it will also be publicly disclosed in the United States.

Financial information included in this announcement, the Offer Document dated 11 November 2019
and the Revised Offer Document has been or will have been prepared in accordance with accounting
standards applicable in the UK and the Netherlands, as applicable, and may not be comparable to
financial information of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

The receipt of consideration by a US holder for the transfer of its Just Eat Shares pursuant to the
Increased Offer may be a taxable transaction for United States federal income tax purposes and
under applicable United States state and local, as well as non-US and other, tax laws. Each Just Eat
Shareholder is urged to consult their independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax
consequences of the Increased Offer applicable to them, including under applicable United States
federal, state and local, as well as non-US and other, tax laws.

It may be difficult for US holders to enforce their rights, effect service of process within the United
States and/or enforce any claim arising out of the US federal securities laws, since Just Eat is
incorporated under the laws of England and Wales. Prosus and MIH are organised under the laws of
the Netherlands and the majority of the officers and directors of Just Eat, Prosus and MIH are
residents of countries other than the United States. It may not be possible to sue Prosus, MIH or Just
Eat, or any of their respective directors, officers or affiliates, in a non-US court for violations of US
securities laws. It may be difficult to compel Prosus, MIH, Just Eat and their respective directors,
officers and affiliates to subject themselves to the jurisdiction and judgment of a US court. There is
substantial doubt as to the enforceability in the United Kingdom of original actions, or of actions for
enforcement of judgments of US courts, based on civil liability provisions of US federal securities laws
and judgments of a US court.

Neither the US Securities and Exchange Commission nor any US state securities commission has
approved or disapproved the Increased Offer, or passed upon the fairness of the Increased Offer or
passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this document. Any representation to the contrary is a
criminal offence in the United States.

No offer to acquire securities or to exchange securities for other securities has been made, or will be
made, directly or indirectly, in or into, or by the use of the mails of, or by any means or instrumentality
of interstate or foreign commerce or any facilities of a national securities exchange of, the United
States or any other country in which such offer may not be made other than: (i) in accordance with the
tender offer requirements under the Exchange Act, or the securities laws of such other country, as the
case may be; or (ii) pursuant to an available exemption from such requirements.

Forward looking statements

This Announcement contains certain statements that are or may be forward looking statements,
including with respect to the Increased Offer. Forward-looking statements are prospective in nature
and are not based on current or historical facts, but rather on assumptions, expectations, valuations,
targets, estimates, forecasts and projections about future events, and are therefore subject to risks
and uncertainties which could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from the
future results, performance or events expressed or implied by the forward looking statements. All
statements other than statements of historical facts included in this announcement may be forward
looking statements. Without limitation, forward looking statements often include words such as
“targets”, “plans”, “believes”, “hopes”, “continues”, “expects”, “is expected”, “objective”, “outlook”,
”risk”, “seeks”, “aims”, “intends”, “will”, “may”, “should”, “would”, “could”, “anticipates”, “estimates”, “will
look to”, “budget”, “strategy”, “would look to”, “scheduled”, “goal”, “prepares”, “forecasts”, “cost-
saving”, “is subject to”, “synergy”, “projects” or words or terms of similar substance or the negative
thereof, as well as variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or
results “may”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “might”, “probably” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved.
Such statements are qualified in their entirety by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding
future expectations.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty, because they relate to events
and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future and the factors described in the context of
such forward-looking statements in this announcement could cause actual results and developments
to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Many
factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied in any forward-
looking statements. Due to such uncertainties and risks, readers are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this announcement.
Any forward-looking statements made in this announcement on behalf of Prosus or MIH are made as
of the date of this announcement based on the opinions and estimates of directors of Prosus or MIH
respectively and no assurance can be given that such opinions or estimates will prove to have been
correct.

No forward-looking or other statements have been reviewed by the auditors of Prosus, MIH or Just
Eat. All forward looking statements contained in this announcement and all subsequent oral or written
forward-looking statements attributable to Prosus, MIH or Just Eat or their respective members,
directors, officers, advisers or employees or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified
in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.

                                                   
Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this announcement. None of Prosus,
MIH or Just Eat, or any of their respective members, associates or directors, officers or advisers and
any person acting on behalf of one or more of them, provides any representation, warranty,
assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward looking
statements in this announcement will actually occur. Other than in accordance with their legal or
regulatory obligations (including under the City Code, the Listing Rules and the Disclosure Guidance
and Transparency Rules), no member of the Prosus Group is under, or undertakes, any obligation,
and each of the foregoing expressly disclaims any intention or obligation, to update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.



No profit forecasts or estimates

No statement in, or referred to in, this announcement or incorporated by reference into this
announcement is intended as or shall be deemed to be a profit forecast or estimate for any period. No
statement in, or referred to in, this announcement or incorporated by reference into this
announcement should be interpreted to mean that income of persons (where relevant), cash flow from
operations, free cash flow, earnings or earnings per share for Just Eat, Prosus or the Enlarged Group
(as applicable) for the current or future financial years would necessarily match or exceed the historic
published cash flow from operations, free cash flow, earnings, earnings per share or dividend for Just
Eat, Prosus, MIH or Naspers or the Enlarged Group (as applicable).

Disclosure requirements of the City Code

Under Rule 8.3(a) of the City Code, any person who is interested in 1% or more of any class of
relevant securities of an offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror (being any offeror
other than an offeror in respect of which it has been announced that its offer is, or is likely to be, solely
in cash) must make an Opening Position Disclosure following the commencement of an offer period
and, if later, following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first identified.

An Opening Position Disclosure must contain details of the person’s interests and short positions in,
and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of: (i) the offeree company; and (ii) any
securities exchange offeror(s). An Opening Position Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(a)
applies must be made by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the 10th business day following the
commencement of the offer period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the
10th business day following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first
identified. Relevant persons who deal in the relevant securities of the offeree company or of a
securities exchange offeror prior to the deadline for making an Opening Position Disclosure must
instead make a Dealing Disclosure. Under Rule 8.3(b) of the City Code, any person who is, or
becomes, interested in 1% or more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or of
any securities exchange offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals in any relevant
securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror. A Dealing Disclosure must
contain details of the dealing concerned and of the person’s interests and short positions in, and
rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of: (i) the offeree company; and (ii) any
securities exchange offeror, save to the extent that these details have previously been disclosed
under Rule 8. A Dealing Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by no
later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the business day following the date of the relevant dealing. If
two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or
informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant securities of an offeree company or a securities
exchange offeror, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.

Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company and by any offeror and
Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company, by any offeror and by any persons
acting in concert with any of them (see Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4). Details of the offeree and offeror
companies in respect of whose relevant securities Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing
Disclosures must be made can be found in the Disclosure Table on the Panel’s website at
www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk, including details of the number of relevant securities in issue, when the
offer period commenced and when any offeror was first identified. You should contact the Panel’s

required to make an Opening Position Disclosure or a Dealing Disclosure.

                                                 APPENDIX 1

                                           SOURCES AND BASES

(a)         All prices and Closing Prices for Just Eat Shares are closing middle market quotations
            derived from the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List (SEDOL).

(b)         All prices and Closing Prices for Takeaway.com Shares are closing middle market quotations
            derived from the Euronext Amsterdam Daily Official List.

(c)         The aggregate value of the Increased Offer Consideration of approximately £5.1 billion is
            calculated by multiplying the offered amount of 740 pence in cash per Just Eat Share by Just
            Eat’s fully diluted share capital (as referred to below).

(d)         The fully diluted share capital of Just Eat is 687,127,131 shares (as published by Just Eat in
            its circular to shareholders dated 25 November 2019).

(e)         The references made to Just Eat’s Board acknowledging the need for additional investment
            refer to the Chairman’s Letter as published by Just Eat in the circular to its shareholders
            dated 25 November 2019.

(f)         The values of the Takeaway.com Offer are calculated as:

      i.         the value of the Takeaway.com Offer as at 21 October 2019 of 594 pence per Just Eat
                 Share is obtained by:

            a)       dividing Takeaway.com’s Closing Price of €71.00 as at 21 October 2019 (being the
                     last Business Day prior to the date of the Offer Announcement) by the exchange rate
                     of £:€ of £1:€1.165 as at 21 October 2019 (being the last Business Day prior to the
                     date of the Offer Announcement) as derived from data provided by Bloomberg; and

            b)       multiplying the number obtained by the exchange ratio of 0.09744 Takeaway.com
                     Shares per Just Eat Share as set out in the announcement pursuant to Rule 2.7 of
                     the City Code released on 5 August 2019 in connection with the Takeaway.com
                     Offer; and

      ii.        the value of the Takeaway.com Offer as at 26 July 2019 of 731 pence is taken from the
                 announcement pursuant to Rule 2.7 of the City Code released on 5 August 2019 in
                 connection with the Takeaway.com Offer.

(g)         Grubhub's enterprise value / 2020 revenue is based on:

      i.         Grubhub’s enterprise value of US$4,199 million is calculated as Grubhub's equity value of
                 US$3,882 million (based on diluted shares outstanding of 94.7 million and share price of
                 US$41.01 as at 6 December 2019) plus net debt of US$317 million. 2020 revenue
                 reflects the Capital IQ broker consensus of US$1,461 million; and

      ii.        the illustrative value of Just Eat at the Grubhub 2020 enterprise value / revenue multiples
                 is for illustrative purposes only and should not be interpreted as a valuation estimate or
                 profit forecast under the Takeover Code. It is calculated by applying Grubhub’s enterprise
                 value / 2020 revenue multiple (as calculated above) of 2.9x to Just Eat’s 2020 consensus
                 revenue of £1,276 million (as detailed below) to obtain an illustrative enterprise value of
                 £3,699 million, and using net debt of £32 million, and other adjustments of £(63) million to                                                   
                 obtain an illustrative equity value of £3,614 million. Dividing by shares outstanding of 687
                 million obtains the illustrative share price of 526 pence per share.

(h)          Shareholder returns have been sourced from Bloomberg and reference the period from 21
             October 2016 to 21 October 2019.

(i)          Prior to acquiring Delivery Hero’s German assets in 2018, Takeaway.com’s share price was
             €44.90 (as at 20 December 2018).

(j)          Just Eat invested £51 million in growth initiatives in 2018 according to their H1 2019 investor
             presentation. This compares to a US$400 million multi-year investment commitment
             announced in November 2018 for iFood, US$200 million in marketing and delivery expansion
             in 2018 for Grubhub, and €350 million in growth initiatives in 2019 for Delivery Hero.

(k)          The less than £10 million investment in Menulog by Just Eat referenced by Prosus is calculated
             as their £19 million investment in Canada and Australia announced in Just Eat’s 2018 annual
             report, less the £12 million uEBITDA loss in Canada reported in their 2018 annual report. The
             Menulog writedown of £180 million was reported in Just Eat’s 2017 annual report. Menulog’s
             broker valuation of £104 million is the arithmetic average of the value assigned to Australia
             and New Zealand by those brokers available to Prosus which provide an SOTP valuation of
             Just Eat dated after 31 July 2019 (that being the date of Just Eat’s H1 2019 results). These
             brokers include:

       i.        Barclays (1 August 2019), Exane BNP Paribas (30 October 2019) and Macquarie (6
                 August 2019);

      ii.        the minimum ANZ valuation estimate per the consensus is £76 million, the maximum is
                 £128 million, and the arithmetic average is £104 million; and

      iii.       in accordance with Rule 28.8(c) of the City Code, the consensus estimates are not shown
                 with the agreement or the approval of Takeaway.com.

(l)          The source for Just Eat own-delivery orders referenced by Prosus is Just Eat’s H1 2019
             results presentation.

(m)          The source for Takeaway.com own-delivery orders referenced by Prosus is Takeaway.com’s
             H1 2019 results presentation.

(n)          Takeaway.com all time high share price is based on €86.85 (30 August 2019) which is
             defined as the highest Close Price on any given day after its first trading day following IPO on
             30 September 2016.

(o)          Takeaway.com broker consensus is based on the following:

      ii.        the minimum 2020 group revenue estimate per the consensus is €509 million, the
                 maximum is €589 million, and the arithmetic average is €556 million; and

                 with the agreement or the approval of Takeaway.com.

(p)          Takeaway.com's enterprise value / 2020 revenue of 9.9x is based on Takeaway.com’s
             enterprise value of €5,481 million is calculated as Takeaway.com's equity value of €5,294
             million (based on total shares outstanding of 61.2 million as per the Just Eat Scheme
             Document and share price of €86.50 as at 6 December 2019) plus net debt of €166 million,
             and other adjustments of €21 million. 2020 revenue reflects the arithmetic average broker
             consensus of €556 million as defined above.

(q)          Delivery Hero Financial Information is taken from Delivery Hero's Q3 trading update published
             on 31 October 2019.

(r)          Delivery Hero's enterprise value / 2020 revenue is based on Delivery Hero’s enterprise value
             of €8,240 million is calculated as Delivery Hero’s equity value of €9,630 million (based on total
             shares outstanding of 195.2 million and share price of €49.33 as at 6 December 2019) plus
             net debt of €(715) million, and other adjustments of €(676) million. 2020 revenue reflects the
             Capital IQ broker consensus of €2,054 million.

(s)          Just Eat broker consensus as at 6 December 2019 is based on the following:

       i.        Just Eat consensus comprises all analyst notes available to Prosus since 31 July 2019
                 (the date of Just Eat’s H1 2019 results statement) as at 6 December 2019 (the last

                 excluded from the consensus as they are connected advisors to Just Eat. Estimates from
                 J.P. Morgan Cazenove and Morgan Stanley have been excluded as they are connected
                 advisors to Prosus. Estimates from Bank of America Merrill Lynch have been excluded as
                 they are a connected advisor to Takeaway.com;

      ii.        the minimum 2020 group revenue estimate per the consensus is £1,247 million, the
                 maximum is £1,458 million, and the arithmetic average is £1,301 million; and

      iii.       in accordance with Rule 28.8(c) of the City Code, the consensus estimates are not shown
                 with the agreement or the approval of Just Eat.

(u)          Just Eat's enterprise value / 2020 revenue of 3.4x as at 26 July 2019 is based on:

       i.        Just Eat’s enterprise value of £4,419 million is calculated as Just Eat's equity value of
                 £4,364 million (based on total shares outstanding of 687 million as per the Just Eat H1
                 2019 report and share price of £6.36 as at 26 July 2019) plus net debt of £118 million,
                 and other adjustments of £(63) million; and

      ii.        2020 revenue reflects the arithmetic average broker consensus of £1,301 million as
                 defined above.

(v)          The statement that Takeaway.com is currently trading on a revenue multiple 2.9 times Just
             Eat’s own unaffected multiple is based on Takeaway.com’s current multiple of 9.9x as defined
             above, divided by Just Eat’s unaffected multiple of 3.4x.

(w)          Low Competition Markets are defined as those markets where the leader holds more than 80
             per cent. market share (based on Google Trends).

(x)          The calculation of synergies that Takeaway.com and Just Eat have announced representing
             just 1.6 per cent. of the combined cost base is calculated based on the sum of Just Eat and
             Takeaway.com cost bases as at H1 2019, FY 2019 and H1 2018 (last twelve months = H1
             2019 + FY 2019 – H1 2018). Cost base is defined as Revenue – operating profit, as reported
             in H1 2019 and FY 2018 reports of both companies. Just Eat figures are converted to euro at
             the average exchange rate of the respective periods, as per Capital IQ.

(y)          The synergy figures for the Takeaway.com / Just Eat combination referenced by Prosus are
             sourced from the Just Eat Scheme Document published on 22 October 2019, and
             Takeaway.com’s investor presentation dated 29 July 2019. The investor presentation states
             that 60 per cent. of the cost savings are derived from operational and technology efficiency,
             whilst the Just Eat Scheme Document states that the potential reduction in headcount is
             approximately three per cent. across the Combined Group.
