Adds response from Delivery Hero in paragraph 2
June 1 (Reuters) - Prosus PRX.AS is considering raising its stake in Delivery Hero DHER.DE and has spoken to other investors about the price at which they would be willing to sell their shares to the Dutch tech investor, the FT reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Delivery Hero declined to comment, while Prosus did not immediately reply to a request on the matter.
The move is aimed at thwarting a takeover attempt for Germany's ‌Delivery Hero by Uber UBER.N, the FT said. Prosus holds a 16.83% holding in the Berlin-based food-delivery company, according to LSEG data.
