On October 2, 2025, DoorDash, Inc. (“DoorDash” or the “Company”) completed its previously announced acquisition (the “Transaction”) of Deliveroo plc, a company
incorporated in England and Wales (“Deliveroo”). The Transaction was effected by means of a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the United Kingdom Companies Act 2006, as amended.
On May 6, 2025, the Company issued an announcement (the “Rule 2.7 Announcement”) pursuant to Rule 2.7 of the UK City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the “Code”),
disclosing that the board of directors of the Company and the board of directors of Deliveroo had reached agreement on the terms of the Transaction. Under the terms of the Transaction, eligible Deliveroo shareholders were entitled to receive 180
pence in cash for each Deliveroo share held.
The aggregate cash consideration due at closing of the Transaction is approximately $3.7 billion (being the Pounds
Sterling (“GBP”) amount of cash consideration of approximately £2.8 billion in respect of all of the Deliveroo shares). Payments will be made in GBP but are expressed in United States Dollars (“USD”) based on an exchange rate of 1.34892 GBP to
1.00 USD.
The Company previously deposited in escrow an amount in cash in order to fund the cash consideration payable by the Company in connection with the Transaction and to
satisfy certain requirements pursuant to the Code to evidence certainty of funding for the Transaction. In connection with the closing of the Transaction, such amounts will be released from escrow and the amount required in connection with the
Transaction will be converted from USD into GBP at the exchange rate specified above pursuant to a deal-contingent foreign exchange forward transaction previously entered into by the Company at the time of the Rule 2.7 Announcement.
Trading of Deliveroo shares on the London Stock Exchange was suspended beginning at 7:30 A.M. British Summer Time (“BST”) on October 2, 2025. It is expected that
trading in Deliveroo shares on the London Stock Exchange will permanently halt at 8:00 A.M. BST on October 3, 2025.
The foregoing description of the Transaction does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Rule 2.7 Announcement, which was
filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 6, 2025 and the Co-operation Agreement, dated as of May 6, 2025, between the Company and Deliveroo, which was filed as Exhibit 2.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form
