OUR VALUES We deliver solutions. We always aim higher. We are Heroes because we care. At Delivery Hero, we are working each day on deliver- ing an amazing experience to our customers. And at the same time, we do our very best in being true to the values that we have set for ourselves. Because we believe that it is not about building any company. It is about building a company that pursues a sustainable path in every aspect. While the customer is at the core of our product offering, it is also about the partners we work together with – the riders, the restaurants, but also many other vendors. And it is about all the Heroes that work for Delivery Hero, be it in the offices or outside. And last but not least, it is also about the environment of which we are a part of and that we need to take care of. If you are interested in learning more about our values and how we live them at Delivery Hero, please visit our website: www.deliveryhero.com/about Delivery Hero | Annual Report 2020 Company | Combined Management Report | Consolidated Financial Statements | Further Information Dear Shareholders, dear Heroes, Looking back on 2020 makes me proud in many respects. As a company that will only celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2021, we truly lived up to our values in a year that was impacted by one of the biggest challenges in decades. We responded by delivering solutions to deal with the sudden and drastic changes in the conditions we had to operate in, and by aiming higher. We also showed that we are Heroes because we care. We provided hundreds of thou- sands of delivery jobs to our rider partners, we supported Niklas Östberg, Co-Founder and our employees to work from home as much as possible Chief Executive Officer and we helped our restaurant partners and vendors by securing a revenue stream, when in-dining and shopping were heavily restricted or even impossible. And we also continued to care about the impact we have on our envi- ronment by expanding the scope of our carbon-neutral operations to our European and Latin American activities. LETTER FROM By the end of 2021, we even want to reach carbon-neutral- ity globally. We do all this while pursuing our vision: to always deliver THE CEO an amazing experience – fast and easy to your door. 6 Delivery Hero | Annual Report 2020 Company | Combined Management Report | Consolidated Financial Statements | Further Information The tremendous growth we achieved in 2020 underlines And while many of the COVID-19-related consequences Brothers in South Korea after a lengthy closing period that that our customers appreciate our offering: we almost were indeed challenging for our business – in the import- spanned the whole of 2020.

  • Response: Just Eat Takeaway.Com N. V
    NON- CONFIDENTIAL JUST EAT TAKEAWAY.COM Submission to the CMA in response to its request for views on its Provisional Findings in relation to the Amazon/Deliveroo merger inquiry 1 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND 1. In line with the Notice of provisional findings made under Rule 11.3 of the Competition and Markets Authority ("CMA") Rules of Procedure published on the CMA website, Just Eat Takeaway.com N.V. ("JETA") submits its views on the provisional findings of the CMA dated 16 April 2020 (the "Provisional Findings") regarding the anticipated acquisition by Amazon.com BV Investment Holding LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc. ("Amazon") of certain rights and minority shareholding of Roofoods Ltd ("Deliveroo") (the "Transaction"). 2. In the Provisional Findings, the CMA has concluded that the Transaction would not be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition ("SLC") in either the market for online restaurant platforms or the market for online convenience groceries ("OCG")1 on the basis that, as a result of the Coronavirus ("COVID-19") crisis, Deliveroo is likely to exit the market unless it receives the additional funding available through the Transaction. The CMA has also provisionally found that no less anti-competitive investors were available. 3. JETA considers that this is an unprecedented decision by the CMA and questions whether it is appropriate in the current market circumstances. In its Phase 1 Decision, dated 11 December 20192, the CMA found that the Transaction gives rise to a realistic prospect of an SLC as a result of horizontal effects in the supply of food platforms and OCG in the UK.

  • Food Delivery Platforms: Will They Eat the Restaurant Industry's Lunch?
    Food Delivery Platforms: Will they eat the restaurant industry’s lunch? On-demand food delivery platforms have exploded in popularity across both the emerging and developed world. For those restaurant businesses which successfully cater to at-home consumers, delivery has the potential to be a highly valuable source of incremental revenues, albeit typically at a lower margin. Over the longer term, the concentration of customer demand through the dominant ordering platforms raises concerns over the bargaining power of these platforms, their singular control of customer data, and even their potential for vertical integration. Nonetheless, we believe that restaurant businesses have no choice but to embrace this high-growth channel whilst working towards the ideal long-term solution of in-house digital ordering capabilities.

  • On-Demand Grocery Disruption
    QUARTERLY SHAREHOLDER LETTER Topic: On-demand Grocery Disruption 31 March 2021 Dear Shareholder, Until the great Covid boost of 2020, grocery shopping was slower to move online than many categories. Demand was muted for a few reasons: groceries have lowish ticket sizes – lower, at least, than consumer electronics or high fashion – and low margins; people tend to buy food from companies they trust (particularly fresh food); shopping behaviour is sticky due to the relatively habitual, high frequency nature of grocery shopping, and barriers such as delivery fees were off-putting. On the other hand, the supply side struggled with complicated supply chains and difficult-to-crack economics. However, the lengthy Covid pandemic has encouraged people to experiment at a time when the level of digital adoption has made it a whole lot easier for suppliers to reach scale. Unsurprisingly, recent surveys indicate that most people who tried online grocery shopping during the pandemic will continue to do it post Covid. We therefore expect continued growth in online grocery penetration, and within online grocery, on-demand services that deliver in a hurry are likely to keep growing faster, from less than 10% of the total online grocery bill in most markets today. Ready when you are This letter focuses on the threats and opportunities facing companies from the growth in on-demand grocery shopping. We look at on-demand specifically as we think it will be the most relevant channel for online groceries in EM, and could be the most disruptive. The Fund is exposed to the trend in several ways.
