South Korea FTC begins pre-merger review of Uber-Delivery Hero deal

South Korea\'s Fair Trade Commission has begun a pre-merger review of Uber Technologies\' planned acquisition of all shares in Germany\'s Delivery Hero. The regulator will examine whether service linkages such as memberships and advertising and promotions across taxi-hailing and delivery could affect market competition, as Uber would gain control of food delivery app Baedal Minjok. Uber plans to complete the tender offer subscription in November and close the share acquisition in the second half of 2027.
