Prosus Said to Mull Selling 10% Delivery Hero Stake to Aspex

Delivery Hero SE’s biggest shareholder Prosus NV is considering selling a roughly 10% stake to Aspex Management, the delivery food company’s No. 2 holder, people familiar with the matter said, a move that would heap pressure on management to push ahead with asset sales.

Prosus has held initial talks with Hong Kong-based Aspex on the potential deal, which could more than double Aspex’s stake in Delivery Hero to about 19%, from the current 9.2%, said the people. If it goes ahead, Aspex will replace Prosus, which has a 26.8% stake, as the largest shareholder of the Frankfurt-listed company.
