FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Just Eat plc ("Just Eat")

 

Suspension of Listing and Trading in Just Eat Shares

 

Further to the announcement made on 31 January 2020, Just Eat confirms that the listing of Just Eat shares on the premium segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority will be suspended at 7.30 a.m. (London time) today and trading of Just Eat shares on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities will be suspended prior to 8.00 a.m. (London time) today.

 

Following discussions with the Financial Conduct Authority, Just Eat has requested the suspension of the listing of Just Eat shares on the basis that following the offer by Takeaway.com for Just Eat becoming unconditional in all respects on 31 January 2020 and given that Takeaway.com has agreed to acquire 92.2% of the voting rights of Just Eat:

 

·      there will be limited liquidity in the trading of Just Eat shares and limited free float such that under LR 5.1.1 there may be a risk to the efficient and smooth operation of a market in Just Eat shares; and

 

·      notwithstanding the "hold separate" order imposed by the CMA on Takeaway.com and Just Eat, there may be a risk that Just Eat is not able to operate as required under Listing Rule 6.4 or Listing Rule 6.6.

 

It is expected that the listing of Just Eat shares on the premium listing segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority will be cancelled and that Just Eat shares will cease to be admitted to trading on the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange with effect from 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 2 March 2010.
