PRX Prosus NV

Prosus NV (PRX.AE) said Tuesday that it has received clearance from the Spanish markets and competition commission for the acquisition of Just Eat PLC (JE.LN) shares.

The company said this is an important milestone that further increases deal certainty of the increased offer of 740 pence a share, following yesterday's reduction of the acceptance condition to a simple majority of the Just Eat shares.

Prosus noted that in contrast, the Takeaway.com NV (TKWY.AE) offer remains subject to a 75% acceptance condition and the approval of Takeaway.com's own shareholders, and added that there can be no certainty that the higher acceptance approval will be obtained.

"We are pleased to have cleared the competition hurdle which further underlines the certainty and deliverability of our superior cash offer of 740 pence per share to Just Eat Shareholders," Chief Executive Bob van Dijk said.
