04:47 AM EDT, 09/24/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Delivery Hero (DHER.F) canceled its succession plan that would have led to the resignation of Cofounder Niklas Östberg as chief executive officer after 15 years, according to a Thursday release. Östberg will now remain CEO beyond March 31, 2027, when he was scheduled to step down under the plan announced May 12, 2026. The German online food delivery company revised its decision in light of the "fundamentally changed situation" arising from a takeover offer from Uber (UT8.F). Delivery Hero also noted that Östberg's existing service agreement will expire on April 30, 2029.
