This is a further revision to the offer of 740 pence per share in cash made on 10 December.

According to Prosus, the total offer consideration of £5.5bn is 35% more than the value offered by Takeaway.com, which is 594 pence per Just Eat share.

Prosus Group CEO Bob van Dijk said: “We have been very clear from the beginning about our ambition to build the world’s leading Food Delivery business. The acquisition of Just Eat, which brings its portfolio of good market positions, would be a meaningful step in realising this goal.”

Recently, Just Eat rejected the increased cash offer of around £5.1bn made by Prosus.

Just Eat shareholders will own approximately 57.5% of the share capital of the combined group and Takeaway.com shareholders will own approximately 42.5%.

In July, the online UK food delivery business Just Eat agreed to merge with Takeaway.com in a £4.7bn ($6.19bn) all-share deal.

In a statement, Just Eat said: “The Board of Just Eat is currently reviewing the final Prosus offer and the final Takeaway.com offer (together the “Final Offers”). Shareholders are advised to take no action with regards to the final offers at this time.”
