Further information

This announcement is provided for information purposes only. It is not intended to and does not constitute or form part of, an offer, invitation or the solicitation of an offer to purchase, otherwise acquire, subscribe for, exchange, sell or otherwise dispose of any securities, or the solicitation of any vote or approval in any jurisdiction, pursuant to the Just Eat Takeaway.com Combination or otherwise, nor will there be any sale, issuance, exchange or transfer of securities of Takeaway.com or Just Eat pursuant to the Just Eat Takeaway.com Combination or otherwise in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law.

The Increased Takeaway.com Offer will be subject to English law and to the applicable requirements of the City Code, the Panel, the Listing Rules, the London Stock Exchange and the FCA.

The Just Eat Takeaway.com Combination will be implemented solely pursuant to the terms of the Revised Offer Document (or, in the event that the Just Eat Takeaway.com Combination is to be implemented by means of a Scheme, the Scheme Document), which, together with the Revised Form of Acceptance, will contain the full terms and conditions of the Just Eat Takeaway.com Combination and the Increased Takeaway.com Offer, including details of how to accept the Increased Takeaway.com Offer. Just Eat Shareholders are advised to read the Revised Offer Document (including the related Revised Form of Acceptance) (and/or, in the event that the Just Eat Takeaway.com Combination is to be implemented by way of a Scheme, the Scheme Document) and any Just Eat Takeaway.com Supplementary Prospectus carefully once these become available because they will contain important information in relation to the Just Eat Takeaway.com Combination, the Existing Takeaway.com Shares, the New Takeaway.com Shares and the Combined Group.

The Existing Takeaway.com Shares and New Takeaway.com Shares are not being offered to the public by means of this announcement.

This announcement does not constitute a prospectus or prospectus exempted document.

Takeaway.com reserves the right to elect (with the consent of the Panel) to implement the acquisition of the Just Eat Shares by way of a Scheme as an alternative to the Increased Takeaway.com Offer. In such event, the Scheme will be implemented on substantially the same terms, so far as applicable, as those which would apply to the Increased Takeaway.com Offer, subject to appropriate amendments to reflect, amongst other things, the change in structure by which the Just Eat Takeaway.com Combination is to be implemented and compliance with all applicable laws.

No person may vote in favour of the Just Eat Takeaway.com Combination by any use, means, instrumentality or form, and the Just Eat Takeaway.com Combination will not be capable of acceptance, from or within the United States or any other Restricted Jurisdiction, if to do so would constitute a violation of the laws of that jurisdiction.

Further details in relation to Just Eat Shareholders who are resident in, ordinarily resident in, or citizens of, jurisdictions outside the United Kingdom and/or the Netherlands are contained in the Original Offer Document.

Just Eat Shareholders in the United States should note that the Just Eat Takeaway.com Combination relates to the shares of a UK-incorporated company and is proposed to be made by means of a contractual offer within the meaning of Part 28 of the Companies Act 2006 provided for under, and governed by, the law of England and Wales. The Increased Takeaway.com Offer will be made in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including the US Securities Act and the US Exchange Act.

This announcement is not an offer of securities for sale in the United States. Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or an exemption from registration. There will be no public offering of securities to be issued pursuant to the Increased Takeaway.com Offer in the United States.

Securities to be issued pursuant to the Increased Takeaway.com Offer have not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act and may not be offered, sold, resold, delivered or transferred, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the US Securities Act. Such securities will only be made available in the United States to qualified institutional buyers (as defined in Rule 144A under the US Securities Act) or accredited investors (as defined in Rule 501(a) under the US Securities Act) in transactions that are exempt from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act. Such shareholders will be required to make such acknowledgements and representations to, and agreements with, Takeaway.com as Takeaway.com may require to establish that they are entitled to receive such securities. A person who receives securities pursuant to the Increased Takeaway.com Offer may not resell such securities without registration under the US Securities Act or without an applicable exemption from registration or in a transaction not subject to registration (including a transaction that satisfies the applicable requirements of Regulation S under the US Securities Act).

Securities to be issued pursuant to the Increased Takeaway.com Offer have not been, and will not be, registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state or jurisdiction in the United States and, accordingly, will only be issued to the extent that exemptions from the registration or qualification requirements of state "blue sky" securities laws are available or such registration or qualification requirements have been complied with.

For purposes of the US Exchange Act, the Increased Takeaway.com Offer is being made pursuant to Section 14(e) and Regulation 14E under the US Exchange Act and benefits from exemptions available to "Tier II" tender offers. Accordingly, the Increased Takeaway.com Offer will be subject to disclosure and other procedural requirements, including with respect to withdrawal rights, offer timetable, settlement procedures and timing of payments that may be different from those applicable under US domestic tender offer procedures and law, and certain rules applicable to tender offers made into the United States, including rules promulgated under Section 14(d) of the US Exchange Act, do not apply. In accordance with normal UK practice and Rule 14e-5 under the US Exchange Act, Takeaway.com, certain affiliated companies and their nominees or brokers (acting as agents) may make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, shares in Just Eat outside the Increased Takeaway.com Offer during the period in which the Increased Takeaway.com Offer would remain open for acceptance. 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 the US Exchange Act. Any information about such purchases will be disclosed as required in the UK, will be reported to a Regulatory Information Service and will be available on the London Stock Exchange website at Error! Hyperlink reference not valid..

Financial information included in this announcement and the Takeaway.com Offer Document has been or will be 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 Just Eat Takeaway.com Combination 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 Just Eat Takeaway.com Combination 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 and claims arising out of the US federal securities laws, since Just Eat is organised under the laws of England and Wales. Takeaway.com is organised under the laws of the Netherlands and all of the officers and directors of Just Eat and Takeaway.com are residents of countries other than the United States. It may not be possible to sue Takeaway.com 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 Takeaway.com, Just Eat and their respective directors, officers and affiliates to subject themselves to the jurisdiction and judgment of a US court.

Forward looking statements

This announcement contains certain statements about Takeaway.com and Just Eat that are or may be forward looking statements, including with respect to the Combination involving Takeaway.com and Just Eat. Forward-looking statements are prospective in nature and are not based on historical facts, but rather on assumptions, expectations, valuations, targets, estimates, forecasts and projections of Takeaway.com and Just Eat about future events, and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those 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", "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.

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. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the possibility that the Just Eat Takeaway.com Combination will not be pursued or consummated, failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals or to satisfy any of the other conditions to the Just Eat Takeaway.com Combination if it is pursued, adverse effects on the market price of Takeaway.com's or Just Eat's ordinary shares or the Takeaway.com Convertible Bonds and on Takeaway.com's or Just Eat's operating results because of a failure to complete the Just Eat Takeaway.com Combination, failure to realise the expected benefits of the Combination, negative effects relating to the announcement of the Just Eat Takeaway.com Combination or any further announcements relating to the Just Eat Takeaway.com Combination or the consummation of the Combination on the market price of Takeaway.com's or Just Eat's ordinary shares or the Takeaway.com Convertible Bonds, significant transaction costs and/or unknown liabilities, the Combined Group incurring and/or experiencing unanticipated costs and/or delays (including IT system failures, cyber-crime, fraud and pension scheme liabilities), general economic and business conditions that affect the Combined Group following the consummation of the Just Eat Takeaway.com Combination, changes in global, political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory forces (including exposures to terrorist activities, the repercussions of the UK's referendum vote to leave the European Union, the UK's exit from the European Union and Eurozone instability), future exchange and interest rates, changes in tax laws, regulations, rates and policies, future business combinations or disposals and competitive developments. Although it is believed that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct and you are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as at the date of this announcement.

All forward looking statements contained in this announcement 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. Neither Takeaway.com nor Just Eat, nor any of their respective associates or directors, officers or advisers, 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), neither the Takeaway.com Group nor the Just Eat 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

Except as otherwise set out herein, nothing in this announcement (including any statement of estimated costs savings or synergies) is intended as a profit forecast or estimate for any period and no statement in this announcement should be interpreted to mean that earnings or earnings per share or dividend per share for Takeaway.com or Just Eat, as appropriate, for the current or future financial years would necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings or earnings per share or dividend per share for Takeaway.com or Just Eat, as appropriate.

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 Error! Hyperlink reference not valid., 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 Market Surveillance Unit on +44 (0)20 7638 0129 if you are in any doubt as to whether you are required to make an Opening Position Disclosure or a Dealing Disclosure.
