Taiwan blocks Uber's $950 million Foodpanda deal, Bloomberg News reports
Dec 24, 2024 11:01 PM

(Reuters) - Taiwan has blocked Uber Technologies' ( UBER ) $950 million purchase of Delivery Hero's Foodpanda business on the island because of anti-competition concerns, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, citing Taiwan's official Central News Agency (CNA).

Uber ( UBER ), Delivery Hero and Foodpanda did not immediately respond to requests for comment outside regular business hours.

Taiwan's Fair Trade Commission could not be immediately reached.

Bloomberg News said CNA did not detail where it obtained the information.

Uber ( UBER ) and Delivery Hero announced the Taiwan deal in May, which also included a separate agreement for Uber ( UBER ) to purchase $300 million worth of newly issued shares of the German food delivery firm.
