This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed in connection with the consummation, on June 15, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), of the Mergers (as defined below) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated June 10, 2020 (the “Initial Merger Agreement”), by and among Grubhub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Grubhub” or the “Company”), Just Eat Takeaway.com N.V., a public company with limited liability (naamloze vennootschap) incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands (“Just Eat Takeaway.com”), Checkers Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Just Eat Takeaway.com (“Merger Sub”), and Checkers Merger Sub II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Just Eat Takeaway.com (“Merger Sub II” and together with Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”), as amended by that certain First Amendment to the Merger Agreement, by and among Just Eat Takeaway.com, the Merger Subs and the Company, dated September 4, 2020 (the “First Amendment”), and by that certain Second Amendment to the Merger Agreement, by and among Just Eat Takeaway.com, the Merger Subs and the Company, dated March 12, 2021 (the “Second Amendment” and, together with the Initial Merger Agreement and the First Amendment, the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date, (i) Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the “Initial Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving company in the Initial Merger (the “Initial Surviving Company”), and (ii) immediately thereafter, the Initial Surviving Company merged with and into Merger Sub II (the “Subsequent Merger” and, together with the Initial Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub II continuing as the surviving company.
Item 2.01. | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
On the Closing Date, the Company completed the Mergers. On and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Initial Merger (the “First Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Company Common Stock”) (other than any shares of Company Common Stock owned by the Company and any shares of Company Common Stock owned by Just Eat Takeaway.com, Merger Sub, Merger Sub II or any other direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Just Eat Takeaway.com), was converted into and became one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Initial Surviving Company (the “Initial Surviving Company Stock”). Each such share of Initial Surviving Company Stock was immediately thereafter automatically exchanged for 3.355 American Depositary Shares of Just Eat Takeaway.com (“Just Eat Takeaway.com ADSs”), with each Just Eat Takeaway.com ADS representing one-fifth of an ordinary share in the share capital of Just Eat Takeaway.com with a nominal value of €0.04 per share (“Just Eat Takeaway.com Ordinary Share”).
In connection with the Mergers, each option that represented the right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock and that was outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (the “Options”), whether or not then vested or exercisable, was at the First Effective Time converted into an option (the “Assumed Options”) to purchase Just Eat Takeaway.com ADSs (or, as determined by Just Eat Takeaway.com, Just Eat Takeaway.com Ordinary Shares) with respect to that number of Just Eat Takeaway.com ADSs (or Just Eat Takeaway.com Ordinary Shares), rounded down to the nearest number of whole Just Eat Takeaway.com ADSs (or Just Eat Takeaway.com Ordinary Shares), that is equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Option as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time and (b) (i) in the case of Assumed Options in respect of Just Eat Takeaway.com ADSs, 3.355, and (ii) in the case of Assumed Options in respect of Just Eat Takeaway.com Ordinary Shares, 0.6710. The exercise price per share of each Assumed Option was equal to the exercise price per share of the corresponding Option divided by (A) in the case of Assumed Options in respect of Just Eat Takeaway.com ADSs, 3.355, and (B) in the case of Assumed Options in respect of Just Eat Takeaway.com Ordinary Shares, 0.6710, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Following the First Effective Time, each Assumed Option are subject to such other terms and conditions as applied to the corresponding Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time.
In addition, each restricted stock unit award with respect to shares of Company Common Stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (the “Company RSUs”) was, at the First Effective Time, converted into a restricted stock unit (each, an “Assumed RSU”) with respect to a number of Just Eat Takeaway.com ADSs (or, as determined by Just Eat Takeaway.com, Just Eat Takeaway.com Ordinary Shares) equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the First Effective Time multiplied by (1) in the case of Assumed RSUs in respect of Just Eat Takeaway.com ADSs, 3.355, and (2) in the case of Assumed RSUs in respect of Just Eat Takeaway.com Ordinary Shares, 0.6710, rounded to the nearest number of whole Just Eat Takeaway.com ADSs (or Just Eat Takeaway.com Ordinary Shares), and otherwise are subject to the same terms and conditions that applied to the corresponding Company RSU immediately prior to the First Effective Time.
