HighGrowth Segment securities are not admitted to the Official List of the Financial ConductAuthority (“Official List”). Therefore the Company has not been required to satisfy the eligibilitycriteria for admission to listing on the Official List and is not required to comply with theFinancial Conduct Authority’s Listing Rules. The London Stock Exchange has not examined orapproved the contents of this document. A prospective investor should be aware of the risks ofinvesting in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after carefulconsideration and, if appropriate, consultation with an independent financial adviser.

consumers. JUST EAT’s websites and mobile apps allowconsumers to search for local takeaway restaurants,place orders online and pay online or by cash on delivery.The online orders are transmitted to and accepted bytakeaway restaurants via JustConnect Terminals(“JCTs”), which send confirmations to consumers,following which the takeaway restaurants prepare anddeliver the food.

The Company primarily derives its revenue fromcommissions charged to restaurants on the value of ordersplaced through its platform, which were on averageapproximately 10.7% for the year ended 31 December2013. In addition, takeaway restaurants that join the JUSTEAT network pay sign-up fees of up to approximately£850, depending on their geographical market.Restaurants may also pay JUST EAT fees for ordersplaced by credit or debit card, which the restaurants maychoose to pass on to consumers, or for additional services,such as promotional top-placement marketing on theCompany’s platform, and merchandise, such as JUST EATbranded packaging and menus.

B.4a Significant recent trendsaffecting the Company and itsindustry

JUST EAT operates in the takeaway food market. Thedelivery part of this market is estimated by the Company tohave been worth £58 billion globally in 2013. In recentyears, the takeaway food market has been growing fasterthan GDP, with online ordering growing much faster, fuelledby the adoption of e-commerce and increased smartphone/tablet penetration, according to “Consumer Foodservice inthe UK” by Euromonitor and EIU. The online channel shiftexperienced in the ordering of takeaway food is similar tothe migration towards the use of the Internet by consumersin other highly fragmented markets, such as restaurantbookings, travel and hospitality, tickets for liveentertainment and classified advertising.

The global takeaway market has grown in value from 2010to 2013 at a CAGR of 1.6%, according to Euromonitor. Thisgrowth has been driven by changing lifestyles, with busierdaily routines resulting in an increasing number ofconsumers ordering food with increasing frequency fromtakeaway restaurants offering an array of food varieties,instead of cooking at home. The online ordering channelhas grown significantly faster than the overall takeawaymarket, driven by general e-commerce adoption andincreased mobile usage, in addition to the value propositionthat online takeaway aggregators such as JUST EAT offerto both consumers and participating restaurants.

The Directors believe the online takeaway industrybenefits from strong and favourable market dynamics and

Revenue for the yearended 31 December 2012 increased by 77.0% comparedto 2011, primarily due to the increase in the number oforders as a result of growth in the number of takeawayrestaurants in the JUST EAT network and the increase inthe number of consumers transacting through JUST EAT,particularly as the JUST EAT brand has grown.

JUST EAT’s administrative expenses were £80.0 million,£63.9 million and £32.1 million for the years ended31 December 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Theincrease in administrative expenses during the periodsunder review was primarily due to the increase in salarycosts, mainly as a result of the expansion of the UKbusiness and the related increase in full time employees ofthe Company. In addition, marketing costs increased duringthe periods under review due to the Company’s decision toinvest in the JUST EAT brand both in the UK and in JUSTEAT’s overseas operations.

JUST EAT had operating profit of £6.8 million for the yearended 31 December 2013 and operating losses of£9.7 million and £1.8 million for the years ended31 December 2012 and 2011, respectively. Theimprovement in the operating result for the year ended31 December 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due tothe growth in revenue (particularly in the UK) and leveragingof the Group’s cost base. The increase in operating lossesof £7.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2012compared to 2011 was mainly due to impairment charges of£7.3 million primarily relating to the Dutch business.

Underlying EBITDA was £14.1 million, £2.3 million and£0.1 million for the years ended 31 December 2013, 2012and 2011, respectively. Growth in Underlying EBITDAduring the periods under review reflected growth in theUK and Denmark, offset by negative Underlying EBITDAin a number of other countries where the Company hasbeen implementing its strategy of incurring greater coststo expand its network of takeaway restaurants, buildbrand awareness and increase the scale of the business.

JUST EAT has generated positive net cash fromoperating activities during each of the periods underreview. Net cash from operating activities amounted to£19.2 million, £10.1 million and £4.9 million for the yearsended 31 December 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.The increases in net cash from operating activities duringthe periods under review were mainly due to the growthin number of orders and the increasing proportion oforders paid for by credit or debit card, for which JUSTEAT collects payment on behalf of the takeawayrestaurants.

PART II

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Ordinary Shares is subject to a number of risks. Accordingly, prospectiveinvestors should consider the following risks and uncertainties together with all the other informationset out in this document prior to making any investment decision. If any of the following risks actuallymaterialises, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could bematerially adversely affected and the value of the Ordinary Shares could decline.

Prospective investors should consider carefully whether an investment in the Ordinary Shares issuitable for them in light of the information in this document and their personal circumstances.

Prospective investors should note that the risks relating to the Company, its industry, and the OrdinaryShares summarised in the section of this document headed “Summary” are the risks that JUST EATbelieves to be the most essential to an assessment by a prospective investor of whether to consider aninvestment in the Ordinary Shares. However, as the risks which the Company faces relate to eventsand depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future, prospective investors shouldconsider not only the information on the key risks summarised in the section of this document headed“Summary” but also, amongst other things, the risks and uncertainties described below.

1. RISKS RELATING TO THE COMPANY

1.1 Consumer acceptance of ordering takeaway food online and through aggregator portalsmay not be sustained or may not improve.

The online purchase of takeaway food is relatively new and rapidly evolving. The Company’s successwill depend to a substantial extent on the willingness of consumers to continue, and increase, their useof online services, and of online aggregator portals in particular, as a method of buying takeaway food,rather than using telephone-based and walk-in services or other online options provided by localrestaurants. If demand for online ordering of takeaway food decreases compared to current levels orconsumer acceptance does not increase in line with JUST EAT’s expectations, the Company’sbusiness, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially adverselyaffected.

Maintaining and enhancing the numbers of consumer visits to and orders placed on the Company’splatform is critical to the Company’s success. Factors important to maintaining and increasing thenumber of orders on the Company’s platform include the Company’s ability to:

• maintain a convenient, efficient and reliable user experience for both consumers andtakeaway restaurants;

• attract new consumers and takeaway restaurants to the platform;

• offer a broad range of takeaway restaurants within a consumer’s local area;

• maintain and monitor its relationships with the takeaway restaurants in its network;

• manage new and existing technologies and sales channels, including mobile devices;

• increase awareness of its brands and platform through marketing and promotional activities;

• obtain or increase purchases from repeat consumers; and

• assure its consumers of the security of its platform for online purchases.

Any failure to properly manage these factors could negatively impact the Company’s ability to attractand retain consumers and takeaway restaurants and maintain or increase the number of ordersreceived, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition,results of operations and prospects.

1.2 Takeaway restaurants may not continue to accept the value proposition of onlineaggregator portals like JUST EAT.

As the online takeaway food business continues to evolve, the Company’s success will also dependsubstantially on the willingness of takeaway restaurants to join the JUST EAT network as a method of

14

Page 21: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

attracting consumers and processing orders efficiently, rather than creating their own websites andmobile apps or relying solely on telephone orders or walk-in services. If the number of takeawayrestaurants that sign up to the platform does not increase or restaurants’ acceptance of JUST EAT’svalue proposition is not sustained in line with expectations, the Company’s business, financialcondition, results of operations and prospects could be materially adversely affected.

1.3 The Company’s IT systems are interdependent and a failure in any one of them maydisrupt the efficiency and functioning of the Company’s operations.

The Company’s business model relies on the systematic interaction between its websites and mobileapps with JustConnect Terminals (“JCTs”) in operation at the takeaway restaurants in its network. TheCompany is reliant, therefore, on numerous IT systems to manage the entire process, from the placingof and payment for orders online by consumers to the receipt of and confirmation of those orders bythe takeaway restaurants. A failure of any individual IT system, and in particular any failure withrespect to a significant number of JCTs, would impact the Company’s ability to receive, process andaccept payment for orders. In addition, the different IT systems are dependent on each other to be ableto complete their processes, and a failure of any of the core IT systems may result in the inability ofother IT systems to function properly and/or failures of other IT systems, which could in turn result inconsumer orders not being captured on the Company’s platform or processed by the takeawayrestaurants. The efficient operation of the Company’s business and IT systems is critical, therefore, toattracting and retaining takeaway restaurants and consumers.

The Company relies to a significant degree on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of its computerand communications systems and those of third parties, including the internet and GPRS connectivity.Consumer access to the Company’s platform, the ease with which a consumer is able to navigate andorder on the platform and the speed with which the order is received and confirmed for processing bythe takeaway restaurants are factors which affect the attractiveness of the Company’s services to bothconsumers and restaurants. Any failure of the internet or GPRS connectivity or any failure of current ornew computer and communication systems or software systems could result in consumer orders notbeing captured on the Company’s platform or processed by takeaway restaurants. While the Companyhas disaster recovery and business continuity contingency plans, no assurance can be given that, if aserious disaster affecting the Company’s systems or operations occurred, such plans would besufficient to enable the Company to continue or recommence trading without a loss of business.

Furthermore, the Company has, from time to time, experienced minor operational failures in itssystems and technologies which have resulted in order errors such as incorrect items and delays orfailures in communicating orders to takeaway restaurants but none of these instances to date have hada material impact on JUST EAT’s business. The Company expects operational issues to continue tooccur from time to time due to a combination of one or more of the following: equipment failures,computer server or system failures, platform outages, human error (including any errors made bytakeaway restaurants in their handling of JCTs), network outages, software performance problems andpower failures. The Company contracts with a nearshoring IT Company based in Kiev, Ukraine andany disruption to its operations as a result of recent protests and political hostilities in Ukraine couldadversely affect the Group’s IT development projects.

If the Company is unable to meet demand or service expectations due to the occurrence of one ormore of the aforementioned issues, the Company’s business, financial condition and results ofoperations may be materially adversely affected.

1.4 The Company is dependent on the reputation of and value associated with its brands.

Developing and maintaining the reputation of, and value associated with, the Company’s brands is ofcentral importance to the success of the Company. Brand identity is a critical factor in retaining existingand attracting new consumers and takeaway restaurants. The Company is highly reliant on directtraffic, “organic” (i.e., listings not dependent on advertising or other payments) and paid internetsearches, which all depend to a varying extent on the strength of the JUST EAT brand. The Companyhas devoted and will continue to devote time and resources to marketing and customer relations, butits marketing efforts and other promotional activities may not achieve expected results.

Promotion and enhancement of the Company’s brands is also expected to depend on the Company’ssuccess in providing a positive experience for consumers ordering takeaway food online and anefficient and effective service for takeaway restaurants seeking orders through the additional channel.

15

Page 22: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

Any failure by the Company or the restaurants in its network to offer a high quality and efficientexperience and excellent customer service to consumers could damage the Company’s reputation andbrands and result in the loss of consumer confidence. Unfavourable publicity concerning the Company,its takeaway restaurants or the industry could also damage the Company’s brands. In particular, anyviolation of food hygiene or food labelling regulations by the takeaway restaurants in the JUST EATnetwork, as well as systemic problems in the takeaway food industry, such as food contamination, candamage JUST EAT’s reputation or brand. There can also be no assurance that a violation of otherregulations by takeaway restaurants, such as those relating to money laundering and tax evasion, willnot damage the Company’s reputation and brand by association.

Moreover, the Company relies heavily on social media such as Facebook and Twitter for brandpromotion and marketing, and any negative publicity or reputational damage may be acceleratedthrough social media due to its immediacy and accessibility as a means of communication, which maymaterially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

1.5 The Company faces competition from other companies and potential new entrants to theindustry or the markets in which the Company currently operates.

The takeaway food market is highly competitive. Consumers have many choices for takeaway food,including online takeaway food aggregator portals, independent restaurants and restaurant chainsoffering online ordering services, as well as local restaurants offering telephone-based and walk-intakeaway food services.

JUST EAT faces competition from a number of other online takeaway food aggregator portals in theUK, Denmark and its other countries of operation. The Company also faces competition fromindependent restaurants and restaurant chains that offer online ordering services through their ownwebsites and mobile apps, such as Domino’s Pizza or similar chains. Moreover, new competitors mayemerge, or similar businesses that are currently established in other countries may choose to enter orexpand in the Company’s countries of operation.

Some of these competitors and new entrants may have brands that are or become more widelyrecognised by consumers than the Company’s brand, and they may also have substantially greaterfinancial, marketing, technical or other resources. The Company’s competitors may also merge or formstrategic partnerships. These factors could adversely impact the Company’s competitive position.

In addition, the Company competes with a wide range of local restaurants offering telephone-basedand walk-in takeaway food services, often for an established local consumer base. These may includeexisting takeaway restaurants in JUST EAT’s network. The Company may fail to increase its marketshare if consumers’ buying behaviour does not shift towards increased online ordering.

The Company competes for consumers and takeaway restaurants mainly on the basis of the quality ofits service offering, including the convenience and functionality of its IT platform, the size and variety ofits network of restaurants and the strength of its brand. If the Company fails to compete effectively inany of these areas, it may lose existing consumers and restaurants and fail to attract new consumersand restaurants.

Competitive pressures from one or more of the Company’s competitors or the Company’s inability toadapt effectively and quickly to a changing competitive landscape could affect demand for theCompany’s services and thereby its prices, fees and margins, which may have a material adverseeffect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

1.6 Changes to search engines’ algorithms or terms of services could cause the Company’swebsites to be excluded from or ranked lower in organic search results.

A significant number of consumers access the Company’s websites by clicking on a link contained insearch engines’ organic search results. Transactions effected by these consumers result in highergross margins to the Company as there are lower associated direct costs. Search engines do notaccept payments to rank websites in their organic search results and instead rely on algorithms todetermine which websites are included in the results of a search query.

16

Page 23: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

The Company endeavours to enhance the relevance of the Company’s websites to common consumersearch queries and thereby improve the rankings of the Company’s websites in organic search results,a process known as “search engine optimisation” or “SEO”. Search engines frequently modify theiralgorithms and ranking criteria to prevent their organic search results from being manipulated, whichcould impair the Company’s SEO activities. These algorithms and ranking criteria may be confidentialor proprietary information, and the Company may not have complete information on the methods usedto rank its websites. If the Company is unable to quickly recognise and adapt its techniques to suchmodifications in search engine algorithms or if the effectiveness of the Company’s SEO activities isaffected for any other reason, the Company may need to increase its spending on other forms ofmarketing or may potentially suffer a significant decrease in traffic to its websites, which could have amaterial adverse effect on its business, financial position, results of operations and prospects.

Search engines may also prohibit the use of any software, process or service which sends automatedqueries to determine the ranking of a website or webpage (an important tool in developing successfulSEO techniques), or the use of particular methods deemed by the search engine to be manipulative ordeceptive. A violation of a search engine’s terms of services may result in a website’s exclusion fromthat search engine’s organic search results. If a search engine were to modify its terms of service orinterpret existing or modified terms of service in a manner such that the Company’s SEO practiceswere deemed to violate such terms, the Company’s websites could be excluded from the searchengine’s organic search results. Such an exclusion could significantly reduce the Company’s ability todirect higher margin consumer traffic to the Company’s platform, thereby increasing consumeracquisition costs, and materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, resultsof operations and prospects.

1.7 The Company is subject to risks relating to the receipt and processing of online payments.

Consumers who order through JUST EAT’s websites or mobile apps may choose from a range ofpayment methods, including credit cards and debit cards. The Company pays fees and other chargesfor the processing of credit and debit card payments, which may increase over time and raise operatingcosts and lower margins. The Company relies on third parties to provide these payment processingservices in relation to credit and debit card payments, and if these companies become unwilling orunable to provide these services or increase the costs of providing such services, the Company’soperations may be disrupted or become unreliable and its operating costs, including paymentprocessing fees, could increase.

Furthermore, the Company is subject to payment card association operating rules, certificationrequirements, Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (“PCI-DSS”), regulations concerningpayment service providers and rules governing electronic funds transfers. JUST EAT has recentlymoved from the requirement to comply with level 2 standards under the PCI-DSS to level 1, which areamong the most difficult to comply with. The Company is currently undergoing an audit to verify itscompliance with this standard given its new status. These rules, requirements, standards or regulationscould change or be reinterpreted to make them difficult or impossible to comply with, which could resultin the Company becoming subject to fines or higher transaction fees and in extreme cases losing itsability to accept credit or debit card payments from consumers, process electronic funds transfers orfacilitate other types of online payments. Moreover, if the Company offers new payment options to itsconsumers, it may become subject to additional regulations and compliance requirements.

In addition, allowing payment to be made by credit and debit cards exposes the Company to the risk offraud and the associated costs to business. High levels of payment card fraud could result in theCompany having to comply with additional requirements or pay higher payment processing fees orfines or, ultimately, losing its card payment processing licence. Furthermore, permitting further onlinepayment options may increase the risk of fraud. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverseeffect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

1.8 The Company is responsible for the cash that it holds on behalf of takeaway restaurantsarising from payments made by credit or debit card.

When a consumer chooses to make payment online using a credit or debit card, JUST EAT collectsthe full order value on behalf of the takeaway restaurant. JUST EAT receives the cash for this paymentafter approximately three working days from the payment card company and then, on the next payment

date, transfers to the takeaway restaurant an amount equal to the online payments collected less JUSTEAT’s commissions (for both cash and payment card orders) and other fees. Payment to takeawayrestaurants is made twice per month and, until such payment is made, JUST EAT is responsible for thecash that it holds on behalf of the takeaway restaurants. For the year ended 31 December 2013, 59%of all orders were paid for by credit or debit card. Any loss of cash through bank failures or otherfactors beyond JUST EAT’s control may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s reputation,business and financial condition. Any failures in the controls relating to processes by which JUST EATreconciles cash in-hand on behalf of takeaway restaurants and payment due to restaurants could alsohave a similar material adverse effect.

1.9 The Company’s payment card fee revenue may decline if it is required to lower feescharged for card payments.

Payment card fees are charged by JUST EAT on each order placed through JUST EAT that is paid forby credit or debit card. The fee covers the charges incurred by JUST EAT from the payment serviceprovider, and often includes a surcharge, thereby generating a margin for JUST EAT. Payment cardfee revenue comprised 12% of revenue for the year ended 31 December 2013. From June 2013,following the introduction of new regulations in Denmark, JUST EAT has been required to charge, andhas charged, payment card fees that are equal to the fees charged by the payment service provider,with no additional surcharge. If JUST EAT were to decide to adopt this practice, or be required to doso, in its other countries of operation, including the UK, this revenue stream may be reduced in thefuture.

1.10 The number of orders placed through JUST EAT’s platform fluctuates on a seasonal basis.

Demand for takeaway food is seasonal and subject to weather conditions, particularly in areas such asthe UK and northern Europe where the seasons are more pronounced. Order numbers across thetakeaway food industry are typically higher during autumn and winter, when consumers are less likelyto dine out due to the shorter daylight hours and likelihood of bad weather; conversely, orders declinein number during the warmer spring and summer months, when conditions are more conducive todining out or other alternatives such as barbeques. Unexpected or atypical fluctuations in weather,particularly extended periods of warm conditions, may have a significant negative effect, therefore, onthe number of orders placed through JUST EAT’s websites and mobile apps and could materiallyadversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

1.11 The Company may face online security breaches and service disruptions due to hacking,viruses, fraud and malicious attack.

The Company relies on encryption and authentication technology to provide the security necessary toeffect the secure transmission of information from its consumers, such as credit or debit card numbers.The Company cannot guarantee absolute protection against unauthorised attempts by third parties orits current or former employees to access its IT systems, including malicious third party applicationsthat may interfere with or exploit security flaws in its products and services. Viruses, worms and othermalicious software programmes could, amongst other things, jeopardise the security of informationstored in a user’s computer or in the Company’s computer systems or attempt to change the internetexperience of users by interfering with the Company’s ability to connect with its users. Hackers mayalso act in a coordinated manner to launch denial of service attacks or other coordinated attacks thatmay cause the Company’s JCTs, websites or other systems to experience service outages or otherinterruptions or result in the creation of fraudulent transactions. If any compromise in the Company’ssecurity measures were to occur, or if the Company’s websites or other systems were to experienceservice outages or other interruptions, the Company’s reputation may be harmed and its business,financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

1.12 The Company is subject to risks relating to data protection.

The Company processes personal data, some of which may be sensitive, as part of its business. TheCompany may be subject to investigative or enforcement action by the Information Commissioner’sOffice in the UK or similar regulatory authorities in the Company’s other countries of operation, legalclaims and reputational damage if it acts or is perceived to be acting inconsistently with the terms of itsprivacy policy, consumer expectations or the law.

From time to time, concerns may be expressed about whether the Company’s products and servicescompromise the privacy of consumers using the platform. Concerns about the Company’s collection,use or sharing of personal information or other privacy-related matters, even if unfounded, coulddamage the Company’s reputation.

In addition, there can be no assurance that advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in thefield of cryptography, or other events or developments will not result in a compromise or breach of theprocesses used by the Company to protect consumer transaction data. Such personal data couldbecome public if there were a security breach in respect of such data and, if one were to occur, theCompany could face liability under data protection laws and lose the goodwill of its consumers, whichmay have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects.

1.13 The Company relies on a single supplier for the JCTs which facilitate the receiving andprocessing of online orders by takeaway restaurants.

The Company currently is dependent upon a single supplier, VeriFone, for the supply of the JCTs thatare installed in the majority of takeaway restaurants contracted with JUST EAT. If VeriFone were toterminate its supply relationship with the Company, or if VeriFone itself becomes unable for any reasonto supply the Company with the requisite numbers of JCTs, the ability of the Company to service therestaurants in its existing network and expand its network of takeaway restaurants may be materiallyadversely affected. Furthermore, in the event of product damage or failure in a particular delivery ofJCTs from VeriFone, there may be consequential constraints upon the Company’s ability to supplyJCTs to takeaway restaurants. Any inability to overcome supply constraints to meet higher levels ofdemand from an expanding network of takeaway restaurants may have a material adverse effect onthe Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

1.14 The Company may not keep pace with new technological and product developments.

The Company’s success depends in part upon its ability to store, retrieve, process and managesubstantial amounts of information. To achieve its strategic objectives and remain competitive, theCompany must continue to develop and enhance its information systems and technological productofferings. This may require the acquisition of equipment and software and the development, eitherinternally or through independent consultants, of new proprietary software and products such asenhanced mobile apps for consumers or improved order processing systems for takeaway restaurants.The Company may be unable to continue to design, develop, implement or utilise, in a cost-effectivemanner, information systems and products that provide the capabilities necessary for the Company tocompete effectively. Any failure to keep pace with changes in the online takeaway food industry oradapt to technological developments, or the development and introduction of a superior product by acompetitor, could mean that the Company fails to capture what may become an increasingly importantpart of the online takeaway food market and this may have a material adverse effect on the Company’sbusiness, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

1.15 The Company is dependent on its Executive Directors and senior management team aswell as certain other key personnel and the loss of their services could materiallyadversely affect its business.

The Company depends upon the continued services and performance of its Executive Directors, seniormanagement team and other key personnel. These individuals, amongst other things, play a key role inmaintaining the Company’s culture, technology systems and marketing activities, as well as in settingthe Company’s strategic direction. The unexpected departure or loss of any of them could have amaterial adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company,and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract or retain suitable replacementsfor such personnel in a timely manner or at all. The Company may also incur significant additionalcosts in recruiting and retaining suitable replacements.

1.16 The Company’s growth may place significant demands on its management andinfrastructure.

The growth of the Company’s business to date has placed, and its future growth is expected tocontinue to place, significant demands on the Company’s management and its technological,

19

Page 26: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

operational and financial infrastructure. Continued growth could also strain the Company’s ability tomaintain reliable service levels for consumers and takeaway restaurants; develop and improve itsoperational, financial and management controls; enhance its reporting systems and procedures andrecruit, train and retain employees. In addition, the Company’s business and IT systems may beunable to accommodate a significant increase in the number of consumers, takeaway restaurants ororders if the Company cannot scale its JCT and other IT systems effectively across a wider network. Ifthe Company is unable to accommodate a substantial increase in orders, its growth strategy may bematerially adversely affected.

As the Company’s operations grow further, it will need to continue to improve and upgrade its systemsand infrastructure. This expansion will require the Company to commit substantial financial, operationaland technical resources in anticipation of an increase in the size of the business, with no assurancethat the volume of business will increase.

1.17 The Company’s operations in certain countries outside of the UK and Denmark may notprogress to profitability as planned.

In the years ended 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013, Underlying EBITDA was negative for the Othersegment of JUST EAT’s business that represents countries outside of the UK and Denmark. SegmentUnderlying EBITDA for the Other segment was negative £6.3 million for the year ended 31 December2011 compared to negative £13.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2012 and negative £11.8million for the year ended 31 December 2013. The negative Underlying EBITDA during the periodsunder review reflect JUST EAT’s strategy of incurring greater expenditures in operations in certaincountries to expand its network of takeaway restaurants, build brand awareness and increase scale inorder to gain a competitive advantage in the market. There can be no assurance, however, that theCompany will be able to implement its strategy effectively or that the business model it established inthe UK and Denmark can be successfully replicated or scaled in other countries. If JUST EAT is unableto implement its strategy or replicate and scale its business model effectively, its Other operatingsegment may continue to have negative Underlying EBITDA, which could have a material adverseeffect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

1.18 The Company’s entry into new business areas or overseas markets may not besuccessful.

The Company may continue to grow its operations by expanding its business in new overseas marketsor offering new services to its existing consumers and takeaway restaurants.

The Company may not be able to do this in a cost-effective or timely manner. Furthermore, any newbusiness or website launched by the Company that is not favourably received by consumers coulddamage the Company’s reputation or brands.

Such expansion of the Company’s operations would also be likely to require significant additionalinvestment, together with operations and resources, which would strain the Company’s management,financial and operational resources. The lack of market acceptance of such efforts or the Company’sinability to generate satisfactory revenues from such expanded services, products or operations tooffset their costs could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition,results of operations and prospects.

1.19 Any expansion by the Company through merger and acquisition activity may beunsuccessful.

The Company may expand through mergers and acquisitions. In the right circumstances, JUST EAT’sacquisition strategy is to expand by acquiring complementary businesses within existing geographiesand entering new geographies via the acquisition of market leaders with positions of scale in thosecountries. In identifying potential merger and acquisition targets, the Company would make every effortto ensure appropriate due diligence is carried out, but acquisitions would necessarily leave theCompany exposed, at least to some degree, to any operational failings of the target company, toadditional regulatory requirements if expanding into new countries and potentially to overpaying for anysuch target. Any payment for such target company with Ordinary Shares could also dilute the interestsof Shareholders.

In addition, merger and acquisition activity, including the difficulties involved in integrating companies,businesses or assets, may divert financial and management resources from the Company’s core

20

Page 27: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

business, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition,results of operations and prospects. The Company may also carry out opportunistic acquisitions thatare not in line with its stated acquisition strategy, and there is no assurance that any acquisitions willbe made at all. In addition, there can be no assurance that any mergers or acquisitions willsuccessfully achieve their aims, and any mergers or acquisitions that are unsuccessful or do notproceed according to plan may result in impairment charges.

1.20 The Company is subject to risks associated with plans to acquire the remaining interest inits joint venture operations in France.

The Company’s operations in France are currently conducted through its 50% interest in a jointventure, and it plans to acquire the remaining interests during the period from 2014 to 2017. Thetransition from being a joint venture partner to fully acquiring and operating the business in France,including the difficulties involved in assuming control, integrating operations and harmonising differentIT operating platforms, may be more costly and time-consuming than expected, which could have amaterial adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations andprospects.

1.21 The Company is subject to risks associated with operating with joint venture partners.

The Company participates in and may expand through joint ventures and other collaborative activitieswith third parties. Moreover, the Company’s strategy for entering a new country, particularly indeveloping markets, may require or be restricted to the purchase of a partial or a controlling interest inan existing entity, whilst retaining that entity’s management, in order to leverage local marketknowledge. There can be no assurance that the Company will always have a controlling interest in anycompany it acquires or joint venture it enters into or that it will not lose a controlling interest. The loss ofa controlling interest may occur as a result of, for example, the possible imposition of, or changes in,foreign ownership restrictions.

There are certain risks associated with joint venture partners, including the risk that joint venturepartners may:

• have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with those of theCompany;

• veto proposals in respect of joint venture operations;

• be unable or unwilling to fulfil their obligations under the joint venture or other agreements; or

• experience financial or other difficulties.

Joint ventures, including the difficulties involved in integrating companies, businesses or assets andharmonising different IT operating platforms, may divert financial and management resources from theCompany’s core business, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business,financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

1.22 If the Company fails to maintain its culture, or if the Company is unable to attract, train,motivate and retain qualified personnel, its business, financial condition and results ofoperations may be materially adversely affected.

The Company is reliant on its staff for the management, operation, development, maintenance, repair,upgrading and expansion of its business, operations and systems. The Company must train itsemployees so that they have up-to-date knowledge of various aspects of the Company’s operationsand motivate its employees to meet the Company’s demand for high quality services. If the Companyfails to provide adequate training to its employees, or if the Company fails to motivate its employees orotherwise fails to maintain its culture, the quality of its services may deteriorate and its brands andrelationships with consumers and takeaway restaurants may be materially adversely affected.

The Company’s ability to recruit, retain and motivate suitably qualified and experienced staff isimportant for the Company’s on-going success. The Company may be unable to recruit and retainsufficient personnel of the right calibre or may incur significant expense in attracting and retainingpersonnel, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial conditionand results of operations.

21

Page 28: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

Any significant disagreements between the Company and its employees could disrupt the Company’soperations and increase its operating costs, which could have a material adverse effect on theCompany’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

1.23 The Company may not have adequate protection for its intellectual property rights.

The business and IT systems underpinning the order placement and processing functions of theCompany’s platform and other bespoke intellectual property are not protected by patents or registereddesign rights, which means that JUST EAT cannot preclude or inhibit competitors from entering thesame market if they develop the same or similar technology independently. The Company isparticularly reliant, therefore, on copyright, trade secret protection and confidentiality and licenseagreements with its employees, suppliers, consultants and others to protect its intellectual propertyrights. Although the Company has taken steps consistent with industry practice to reduce these risks,such steps may be inadequate.

The Company is particularly reliant on the intellectual property rights it holds in respect of its brand,which comprises the JUST EAT name used both as plain words and in its stylised form together withthe JUST EAT logo. The Company’s portfolio of registered trade marks protects both the JUST EATname and the JUST EAT name and logo in addition to a number of other trade marks. JUST EAT alsoowns a number of domain name registrations, including www.just-eat.co.uk and www.just-eat.dk. TheCompany’s legal team manages the registration and administration of the Group’s domain nameportfolio, with assistance from a third party domain name management company. If the Company orthe third party fails to register, renew or enforce JUST EAT’s intellectual property rights, or there is anyunauthorised use or significant impairment of the Company’s intellectual property rights, the value of itsproducts and services could be diminished, the Company’s competitive position could be adverselyaffected and its business may suffer.

In addition, third parties may independently discover the Company’s trade secrets or accessproprietary information or systems and, in such cases, the Company may not be able to rely on anyintellectual property rights to prevent the use of such trade secrets, information or systems by suchparties. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to determine and enforce the scope ofthe Company’s proprietary rights and the outcome of such litigation could not be guaranteed. Failure toprevent the use of such secrets, information or systems by such third parties could materially adverselyaffect the Company’s competitive business position, financial condition and results of operations.

1.24 The Company may be affected by an increase in governmental regulation of the internet,online retail and electronic marketing.

The application or modification of existing laws or regulations, or adoption of new laws and regulationsrelating to the internet (including data protection) and online retail and marketing operations couldmaterially adversely affect the manner in which the Company currently conducts its business. The lawof the internet remains largely unsettled, even in areas where there has been some legislative action.For example, a 2012 report by the European Commission proposed a comprehensive review of privacyprotection in the European Union. The regulation proposed in the report includes rules that broaden thedefinition of personal data, strengthen the rights of data subjects, enhance penalties for non-compliance and continue to restrict the transfer of personal data to countries outside the EU. Theproposed regulation would also limit what would be considered valid consent on behalf of an individual,introduces a “right to be forgotten” (a broadened right by individuals to have their data deleted at theirrequest) and substantially increases the enforcement powers of the European Commission. Theproposed regulation, if enacted, could materially adversely affect JUST EAT’s operations in the EU andthe parts of the Company’s platform that are accessed by EU residents.

As another example, the UK’s Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 wereamended in 2011 to increase website operators’ obligations with regard to the use of cookies (whichcan be used to enable retail functionality and to track user behaviour).

In addition, the growth and development of the market for online retail may lead to more stringentcustomer protection laws, such as in relation to card payment processing requirements, which mayimpose additional burdens on the Company and increase its costs of business. All of the above mayhave a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operationsand prospects.

1.25 The Company may be affected by an increase in governmental regulation of the takeawayrestaurant industry.

Increased or changing regulations relating to the food business may affect the operations of takeawayrestaurants in the JUST EAT network. For example, the Food Information Regulations (EU 1169/2011),which are due to come into force on 1 December 2014, provide that “food business operators” mustprovide certain information about allergens on non-prepacked foods, which would include takeawayfood, such that takeaway restaurants would be required to know the allergen content of their dishes.Compliance with such new regulations may require significant investment by takeaway restaurants.Should the Company decide to assist the restaurants in complying with these regulations, it may alsoneed to commit significant employee resources and costs, which may have a material adverse effecton its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Moreover, changes in tax rates, tax laws or HMRC’s published practice in relation to the taxation oftakeaway restaurants, or changes in or interpretation of or misinterpretation of the law or HMRC’spublished practice, or any failure by takeaway restaurants to manage tax risks adequately, could resultin increased charges, financial loss and penalties for the restaurants, which may in turn have a materialadverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

1.26 The Company’s operations are subject to the laws and regulations of numerous nationaland local authorities.

JUST EAT has operations in 13 countries, as a result of which the Company incurs, and expects tocontinue to incur, substantial costs and expenditures and commits a significant amount ofmanagement’s time and resources to comply with increasingly complex and restrictive laws andregulations. Changes in such laws and regulations may constrain the Company’s ability to provideservices to consumers and takeaway restaurants or increase the costs of providing such services.Furthermore, a failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could result in substantial fines,claims relating to violations of social, labour or other legislation or revocation of licences, which couldhave a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results ofoperations.

1.27 The Company is exposed to political and legal risks in the different countries in which itoperates, including a heightened risk associated with operating in developing markets.

The Company is subject to risks associated with operating in developing markets, where the political,economic and legal systems and economic conditions are generally less predictable than in countrieswith more developed institutional structures, including increased risks associated with inflation,recession and currency and interest rate fluctuations; reduced intellectual property protection; aninability to enforce judgments; difficulty in adequately establishing, staffing and managing operations;risk of non-compliance and business integrity issues; changes in regulation and governmental policiesand the consistency with which such regulations and policies are interpreted or enforced; and risk ofpolitical and social instability, including war, civil disturbance and terrorism. There can be no assurancethat the foregoing risks will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financialcondition, results of operations and prospects.

1.28 The Company may be adversely affected by tax disputes or tax audits or by changes in taxlegislation or the interpretation of such legislation in the UK.

JUST EAT’s tax returns are subject to regular review and examination. The Company cannotguarantee that any tax audit or tax dispute to which it may be subject in the future will result in afavourable outcome for the Company. There is a risk that any such audit or dispute could result inadditional taxes payable by JUST EAT as well as negative publicity and reputational damage. In anysuch case, substantial additional tax liabilities and ancillary charges could be imposed on theCompany, which could increase JUST EAT’s effective tax rate.

JUST EAT’s effective tax rate, which was 34% for the year ended 31 December 2013, may also beaffected by changes in, or the interpretation of, tax laws, including those tax laws relating to theutilisation of capital allowances, net operating losses and tax loss or credit carry forwards, as well aschanges in management’s assessment of certain matters, such as the ability to realise deferred tax

23

Page 30: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

assets. JUST EAT’s effective tax rate in any given financial year reflects a variety of factors that maynot be present in the succeeding financial year or years. An increase in JUST EAT’s effective tax ratein future periods could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and resultsof operations.

1.29 Fluctuations in currency exchange rates may significantly impact the presentation of theCompany’s financial results.

A substantial portion of the Company’s consolidated revenue is denominated in sterling and DanishKrone, with the remainder of the Company’s consolidated revenue denominated in the local currenciesof the other countries in which the Company operates. The Company generally seeks to match thecurrency of its revenue and expenses for its operations in each jurisdiction to reduce its exposure tocurrency fluctuations but, in limited circumstances, the revenue and expenses may be in differentcurrencies and, therefore, subject to foreign exchange risk. In addition, the Company presents itsconsolidated financial statements in sterling. Consequently, the presentation of the consolidatedfinancial statements may be materially affected by movements in foreign exchange rates andparticularly by Danish Krone/sterling and Euro/sterling exchange rates.

2. RISKS RELATING TO THE OFFER AND THE ORDINARY SHARES

2.1 Future sales or issues of Ordinary Shares, or the possibility or perception of such futuresales or issues, may affect the market price of the Ordinary Shares.

Following Admission, sales by any Shareholders or issuances by the Company of Ordinary Sharesmay significantly reduce the Company’s share price. Subject to certain limited exceptions, the Directorsand certain Shareholders will be prevented from selling Ordinary Shares held by them for a period of360 days and 180 days, respectively, following Admission. Similarly, the Company will be restricted,subject to certain limited exceptions, for a period of 180 days from Admission from issuing OrdinaryShares. On the expiry of these periods, the Company may issue Ordinary Shares and the Directorsand relevant Shareholders will be free (subject to applicable law) to sell the Ordinary Shares held bythem. The potentially increased supply of Ordinary Shares on the market may have a material adverseeffect on the market price of the Ordinary Shares.

Similarly, sales of additional Ordinary Shares by the Directors or significant Shareholders andissuances of additional Ordinary Shares by the Company may affect the confidence of the market inthe Ordinary Shares and cause the market price of the Ordinary Shares to fall.

2.2 An active or liquid market for the Ordinary Shares may not develop.

Prior to the Offer, there has been no public trading market for the Ordinary Shares. The Offer Price willbe agreed between the Joint Global Co-ordinators, the Company and the Major Selling Shareholdersand may not be indicative of the market price for the Ordinary Shares following Admission. Althoughthe Company has applied for admission to trading on the High Growth Segment of the London StockExchange’s Main Market, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for the OrdinaryShares will develop or, if developed, that it will be maintained. The failure to develop an active tradingmarket may affect the liquidity of the Ordinary Shares and the Company cannot assure Shareholdersthat the market price of the Ordinary Shares will not decline below the Offer Price. Consequently,investors may have difficulty selling their Ordinary Shares or may not be able to sell their OrdinaryShares at or above the Offer Price.

2.3 The market price of the Ordinary Shares may be volatile, which could cause the value ofan investment in the Ordinary Shares to decline.

Following Admission, the trading price of the Ordinary Shares may be subject to wide fluctuations inresponse to many factors, including those referred to in this section, as well as stock marketfluctuations and general economic conditions that may materially adversely affect the market price ofthe Ordinary Shares. Publicly traded securities from time to time experience significant price andvolume fluctuations that may be unrelated to the operating performance of the companies that haveissued them. In addition, the market price of the Ordinary Shares may prove to be highly volatile. Themarket price of the Ordinary Shares may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors,some of which are beyond the Company’s control, including:

• variations in operating results in the Company’s reporting periods;

24

Page 31: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

• any shortfall in revenue or profitability or any increase in losses from the levels expected bymarket analysts or Shareholders;

• increases in capital expenditure compared to expectations;

• failure to make efficiency improvements;

• changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;

• changes in market valuations of similar companies;

• announcements by the Company of significant contract gains or losses, acquisitions, strategicalliances, joint ventures or new initiatives;

• regulatory matters;

• additions or departures of key personnel; and

• future issues or sales of Ordinary Shares.

Any or all of these events or others could result in material fluctuations in the price of the OrdinaryShares and investors may lose part or all of their investment in the Ordinary Shares.

The Offer Price might not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the trading market and investorsmay not be able to resell the Ordinary Shares at or above the price paid.

A public perception that the Company is an internet, e-commerce or technology company may result inthe price of the Ordinary Shares moving in line with other shares in companies of this nature.Traditionally, the share prices of internet, e-commerce and technology companies have tended to bemore volatile than share prices of companies operating in other industries.

2.4 The proposed listing of the Ordinary Shares on the High Growth Segment of the MainMarket of the London Stock Exchange will afford investors a lower level of regulatoryprotection than a listing on the premium segment of the Official List of the FinancialConduct Authority

Application will be made for the Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on the High GrowthSegment of the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. High Growth Segment securities are notadmitted to the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and, therefore, the Company has notbeen required to satisfy the eligibility criteria for admission to listing on the Official List and is notrequired to comply with the Financial Conduct Authority’s Listing Rules. A High Growth Segment listingwill afford investors in the Company a lower level of regulatory protection than that afforded toinvestors in a company that is listed on the premium segment of the Official List, which is subject toadditional obligations under the Listing Rules. Moreover, a High Growth Segment listing will not permitthe Company to gain FTSE indexation, which may have an adverse effect on the valuation of theOrdinary Shares.

2.5 The Company is subject to risks associated with the lower minimum free float requirementfor admission to the High Growth Segment

Admission to trading on the High Growth Segment of the Main Market of the London Stock Exchangeis primarily intended for companies which are likely to have a lower proportion of securities in publichands at admission than companies admitted to the Official List. In order to be eligible for admission, atleast 10% of the number of securities to be admitted (having a value of at least £30 million) must be inpublic hands, compared to the 25% minimum free float required for a listing on the premium segmentof the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority. The lower minimum free float requirement forcompanies listing on the High Growth Segment may affect the liquidity of the Ordinary Shares and theCompany cannot assure Shareholders that the market price of the Ordinary Shares will not declinebelow the Offer Price. With reduced liquidity of the Ordinary Shares, investors may have difficultyselling their Ordinary Shares or may not be able to sell their Ordinary Shares at or above the OfferPrice.

In addition, the lower minimum free float requirement for admission to trading on the High GrowthSegment may result in a higher percentage of Ordinary Shares being held by the Company’s existing

Shareholders following Admission than would otherwise be the case for a listing on the Official List.The Company’s existing Shareholders may be in a position to influence the outcome of matters relatingto the Company, including appointments to the Board and the approval of significant transactions,including change of control transactions. The interests of these Shareholders may be different from theinterests of the Company or the other Shareholders. In particular, this control may have the effect ofmaking certain transactions more difficult without the support of the Directors and existingShareholders, and may have the effect of delaying or preventing an acquisition or other change incontrol of the Company. If the existing Shareholders’ interests were to conflict with those of otherShareholders, it may have a material adverse effect on the value of the Ordinary Shares and JUSTEAT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

2.6 Future issues of Ordinary Shares may dilute the holdings of Shareholders.

Other than the proposed offering of Ordinary Shares, the Company has no current plans for an offeringof Ordinary Shares and, as described above, will be unable to do so for a fixed period after Admission(subject to certain limited exceptions). It is possible, however, that the Company may decide to offeradditional Ordinary Shares in the future, either to raise capital or for other purposes. Subject to anyapplicable statutory pre-emption rights, any future issues of Ordinary Shares may have a dilutive effecton the holdings of Shareholders and could have a material adverse effect on the market price ofOrdinary Shares as a whole.

2.7 An investment in Ordinary Shares by an investor whose principal currency is not sterlingmay be affected by exchange rate fluctuations.

The Ordinary Shares are, and any dividends to be paid in respect of them will be, denominated insterling. An investment in Ordinary Shares by an investor whose principal currency is not sterlingexposes the investor to foreign currency exchange rate risk. Any depreciation of sterling in relation tosuch foreign currency will reduce the value of the investment in the Ordinary Shares or any dividendsin relation to such foreign currency.

2.8 The rights, including the pre-emptive rights, of US and other non-UK holders of OrdinaryShares may be limited or not capable of exercise, which could have a material adverseeffect on the Company’s business as well as on the liquidity and price of the OrdinaryShares.

The Company could undertake future equity issues that could have a material adverse effect on themarket price of the Ordinary Shares and may reduce the percentage ownership and voting interests ofShareholders. Moreover, the Company may issue new shares that have rights, preferences orprivileges senior to those of the Ordinary Shares.

In the case of certain increases in the Company’s share capital, the existing holders of the OrdinaryShares generally would be entitled to pre-emption rights pursuant to the Companies Act 2006 unlesssuch rights have been waived by a special resolution of the Shareholders at a general meeting or, incertain circumstances, pursuant to the Articles. Holders of Ordinary Shares outside theUnited Kingdom may not be able to exercise their pre-emption rights in respect of Ordinary Sharesunless exemptions from any overseas securities law requirements are available and the Companydecides to comply with local law and regulations. In particular, US holders of the Ordinary Shares maynot be able to exercise pre-emption rights unless the Ordinary Shares or other securities issued by theCompany are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements isavailable. The Company cannot assure prospective investors that any exemption from such overseassecurities law requirements would be available to enable US and other non-UK holders to exercisesuch pre-emption rights or, if available, that the Company will utilise any such exemption.

2.9 There is no guarantee that dividends will be paid by the Company.

There can be no assurance as to the payment of dividends to Shareholders or, if the Company doespay dividends, the amount of such dividends. The Company intends to retain any earnings to expandthe growth and development of its business and, therefore, does not anticipate paying dividends in theforeseeable future.

4. PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION

Unless stated otherwise, financial information relating to the Group for the financial years ended31 December 2013, 2012 and 2011 has been extracted without material adjustment from the financialinformation in Part XII (Historical Financial Information), which has been prepared in accordance withInternational Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Commission for use in theEuropean Union (“IFRS”).

Unless stated otherwise, the financial information in this document assumes that the share capital re-organisation described in paragraph 4.2 of Part XVI (Additional Information) has taken place and thatthe Over-allotment Option is not exercised.

This document contains certain financial measures that are presented in, or derived from measuresthat are presented in, the Group’s financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with IFRS,but which themselves are not measures that are recognised under IFRS. These measures include thefollowing:

“Underlying EBITDA” means earnings before finance income and costs, taxation, depreciation andamortisation (“EBITDA”) and additionally excludes the Group’s share of depreciation and amortisation ofjoint ventures and associates, profits or losses on disposal of operations, long term employee incentivecosts, exceptional items and foreign exchange gains and losses. In respect of the results of the Group’soperating segments, it also excludes intra-group franchise fee arrangements and incorporates anallocation of Group technology and other central costs. Underlying EBITDA is the main measure ofprofitability used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to assess and manage theperformance of the Company’s operating segments and thus management believe it is helpful to alsopresent Underlying EBITDA on a consolidated basis. Underlying EBITDA and the related ratiospresented in this document are unaudited supplementary measures of the Group’s performance andliquidity that are not required by, or presented in accordance with IFRS. Management believes that theadditional items excluded from the definition of Underlying EBITDA should be excluded for the followingreasons:

• profit or loss on disposal of operations do not form part of the core operation of the businessas the Group is not in the business of acquiring and disposing businesses for a profit;

• the Group’s share of depreciation and amortisation of joint ventures are excluded on the basisthat the Group does not exclusively wholly acquire businesses, but where deemedappropriate form strategic partnerships, and with such partnerships forming part of the coreoperations of the Group, it is deemed that the depreciation and amortisation related to theseventures should be excluded;

• long term employee incentive costs are excluded on the basis that they can vary dependingon the timing of grants to employees;

• impairment charges are excluded on the basis that they inherently represent accelerateddepreciation and amortisation;

• acquisition related expenses are excluded because of their one-off nature; and

• foreign exchange gains and losses due are excluded due to their unpredictability (in theabsence of hedge accounting) and the distorting effect when attempting to assess the trueoperational performance of the Group as a whole, including its foreign entities.

Furthermore, Underlying EBITDA is not a measure of the Group’s financial performance or liquidityunder IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to gross profit, operating profit/(loss) or anyother performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS or as an alternative to cash flow fromoperating activities. Underlying EBITDA may not be indicative of the Group’s historical operatingresults, nor is it meant to be predictive of future results. The Underlying EBITDA figures for the financialyears ended 31 December 2013, 2012 and 2011 have been derived from the historical financialinformation contained in Part XII (Historical Financial Information). Where information has beenderived, it has been calculated by adding together and/or subtracting figures which are extractedwithout material adjustment either from the income statements that appear in Part XII (HistoricalFinancial Information) or the notes thereto.

The Company has presented these unaudited supplementary measures because they are used by theGroup in managing its business. In addition, the Directors believe that Underlying EBITDA is commonly

29

Page 36: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

reported by comparable businesses and used by securities analysts, investors and other parties incomparing the performance of businesses on a consistent basis without regard to interest, taxes,depreciation or amortisation, which can vary significantly depending upon accounting methods(particularly when acquisitions have occurred) or other non-operating factors. Underlying EBITDA aspresented herein will not, however, be comparable to similarly titled measures disclosed by othercompanies. Prospective investors should not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as asubstitute for operating profit/(loss) as determined by IFRS, or as an indicator of the Group’s operatingperformance or of cash flows from operating activities as determined by IFRS. Investors should not usethis measure as a substitute for the analysis of the Company’s results as reported in the incomestatement or cash flow statement.

Some of the limitations of Underlying EBITDA as a measure are:

• it does not reflect the Group’s cash expenditures or future requirements for capitalexpenditure on contractual commitments;

• it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Group’s working capital needs;

• although depreciation and amortisation are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciatedand amortised will often have to be replaced in the future, and Underlying EBITDA measuresdo not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

• other companies in the Group’s industry may calculate Underlying EBITDA measuresdifferently than the Group does, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, Underlying EBITDA should not be considered as a measure ofdiscretionary cash available to the Group to invest in the growth of its business. The Companycompensates for these limitations by relying primarily on the Group’s IFRS results and usingUnderlying EBITDA only as a supplementary measure of performance. Accordingly, undue relianceshould not be placed on the Underlying EBITDA data contained in this document.

All references to “pounds”, “pounds sterling”, “sterling”, “£”, “pence”, and “p” are to the lawful currencyof the United Kingdom. The Group prepares its financial statements in pounds sterling.

Percentages in tables have been rounded and accordingly may not add up to 100%. Certain financialdata has been rounded. As a result of this rounding, the totals of data presented in this document mayvary slightly from the actual arithmetic totals of such data.

6. STABILISATION

In connection with the Offer, Goldman Sachs (the “Stabilisation Manager”) or its affiliates may, forstabilisation purposes, over-allot or effect other transactions which stabilise or maintain the marketprice of the Ordinary Shares at a level which might not otherwise prevail in the open market. Suchtransactions may be effected on the London Stock Exchange or otherwise. Such stabilisingtransactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time and must be brought to an end after alimited period. Save as required by law, the Stabilisation Manager, who will act as stabilising agent forany such transactions, does not intend to disclose the extent of any over-allotments or stabilisationtransactions.

In connection with the Offer, the Major Selling Shareholders have granted to the Stabilisation Manageran option, exercisable for 30 days after commencement of conditional dealings of the Ordinary Shareson the London Stock Exchange, to make available additional Ordinary Shares up to an aggregateamount of 7.5% of the total number of Offer Shares (excluding for these purposes such additional

If exercised, the Over-allotment Optionwill be exercised so as to require the Major Selling Shareholders (as a whole) to sell an equal numberof Ordinary Shares. In addition, Index Ventures V (Jersey) LP agreed to lend stock to the StabilisationManager for the purpose of enabling over-allotments and facilitating settlement for a period of up to 30days after settlement of the Offer.

PART VI

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

1. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

JUST EAT operates in the takeaway food market. The delivery part of this market is estimated by theCompany to have been worth £58 billion globally in 2013. In recent years, the takeaway food markethas been growing faster than GDP, with online ordering growing much faster, fuelled by the adoption ofe-commerce and increased smartphone/tablet penetration (source: EIU and Euromonitor “ConsumerFoodservice in the UK”). The online channel shift experienced in the ordering of takeaway food issimilar to the migration towards the use of the Internet by consumers in other highly fragmentedmarkets, such as restaurant bookings, travel and hospitality, tickets for live entertainment andclassified advertising.

The Directors believe the online takeaway industry benefits from strong and favourable marketdynamics and expect growth in the online takeaway market to continue, driven by general e-commerceadoption and the increasing use and penetration of mobile devices.

1.1 Total Addressable Market

The markets in which the Company currently operates, namely the UK, Denmark, France, Canada,Belgium, Brazil, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Switzerland and India are estimated torepresent a total annual takeaway order value (for delivery) of £20.0 billion (excluding India) in 2013,whilst total delivery takeaway order value in the non-JUST EAT markets set forth in Table 1 (whichrepresent markets considered by management to be receptive to online takeaway), is estimated by theDirectors to have been £38.0 billion per annum in 2013.

The global takeaway market has grown in value from 2010 to 2013 at a CAGR of 1.6% and is expectedto grow at a CAGR of 2.3% from 2014 to 2017, according to Euromonitor. This growth has been drivenby changing lifestyles, whereby busier daily routines are resulting in an increasing number ofconsumers ordering food with increasing frequency from takeaway restaurants offering an array of foodvarieties, instead of cooking at home.

1.2 Online Ordering of Takeaway FoodThe online ordering channel has grown significantly faster than the overall takeaway market, driven bygeneral e-commerce adoption and increased mobile usage, in addition to the value proposition thatonline takeaway aggregators such as JUST EAT offer to both consumers and participating restaurants.

In the UK, JUST EAT’s largest single market, overall e-commerce penetration has increased (as apercentage of total retail spend) from 6.6% in 2009 to 10.4% in 2013, a 58% increase (source:Euromonitor).

Mobile penetration has also increased significantly, with smartphone and tablet penetration ofhouseholds in the UK increasing from 27% and 2% respectively in 2011 to 51% and 24% respectivelyin 2013 (source: Ofcom Technology Tracker). Furthermore, the importance and growth of the onlineand mobile channels have also been demonstrated by comScore, who estimate that at the end of June2013, year-on-year e-commerce spending increased 16% and m-commerce spending increased by24%, compared to overall consumer spending growth of 5%.

This increase in the proportion of online retail spend to total retail spend has been reflected in a similarshift towards online takeaway ordering. The Callcredit Report estimates that, as of November 2013, theonline penetration of takeaway ordering, measured as the number of consumers who have orderedtakeaway food online as a percentage of the total number of consumers who have ordered takeawayfood was 58% in Denmark (the JUST EAT territory with the highest proportion of online ordering oftakeaway food), 32% in Canada, 28% in the UK and 20% in France.

The Directors expect the proportion of takeaway ordering online to continue to increase and believethat the channel shift from telephone to online ordering experienced by Domino’s Pizza in the UK mayreflect the potential increase in online penetration for the broader industry.

Furthermore, the Directors believe that the increasing propensity of consumers to use their mobiledevices to purchase goods and services has the potential to accelerate the online penetration oftakeaway ordering. In the UK, JUST EAT’s largest single market, approximately 45% of search queriesleading to the Company’s website already originate from smartphones, representing growth ofapproximately 71% compared to the prior year, according to Google Analytics in December 2013. Inaddition, according to internal company data, UK mobile and tablet orders (as a percentage of totalorders) have increased from approximately 3% in January 2011 to approximately 54% in December2013.

1.3 Competition

JUST EAT competes with a range of online and offline participants in the takeaway food business,including other online takeaway food aggregator portals (e.g., hungryhouse.com in the UK), localindependent restaurants, as well as independent restaurants and restaurant chains offeringconventional or online ordering services or both (e.g., Domino’s Pizza in the UK).

1.4 Competitive Position of JUST EAT in Selected Markets

Management commissioned Callcredit, an independent third party research firm, to estimate the sizeand breakdown of the takeaway market in the four key geographies (Denmark, UK, France, andCanada) in which JUST EAT operates.

A three stage method was adopted to perform the analysis for each country:

1. Consumer research was carried out using established providers to assess take-awaybehaviours and preferences;

2. Consumer research findings were combined with demographic data to estimate market size,with external checks performed to test the robustness and veracity of the market sizeestimates;

3. Market size estimates were combined with JUST EAT customer data to investigate existingmarket penetration levels.

United Kingdom

The Directors believe that there are over 42,000 takeaway restaurants offering delivery and another47,000 takeaway restaurants offering collection in the UK as at November 2013. According to theCallcredit Report, the total annual delivery takeaway order value in the UK in 2013 was estimated at£4.4 billion, of which the online delivery takeaway order value was estimated at £1.3 billion per annum.

The Callcredit Report indicates that whilst the online ordering channel has already been established,significant growth opportunities exist in the form of further online penetration in the delivery andcollection takeaway market. Given the Company’s existing approximate 50% share of consumersalready ordering takeaway online according to the Callcredit Report, the Directors believe that JUSTEAT is well positioned to attract new users as online takeaway penetration continues to increase. TheDirectors believe that the majority of the remaining approximate 50% of the market represents chains(predominantly Domino’s), rather than aggregators.

Denmark

The Directors believe that there are over 2,500 takeaway restaurants in Denmark as at November2013. According to the Callcredit Report, the total annual delivery takeaway order value in Denmark in2013 was estimated at approximately £190 million, of which the online delivery takeaway order valuewas estimated at approximately £130 million per annum.

JUST EAT currently has an approximate 64% share of the online delivery market, according to theCallcredit Report. The Callcredit Report also indicates that a significant portion of the deliverytakeaway market is already accessed via the online ordering channel and therefore, the Directorsbelieve that the potential for growth in online ordering is likely to be more limited than the potential forgrowth in certain other geographies such as the UK.

France

The Directors believe that there are over 10,500 takeaway restaurants in France as at November 2013.According to the Callcredit Report, the total annual delivery takeaway order value in France in 2013was approximately £2.3 billion, of which the online delivery takeaway order value was estimated atapproximately £620 million.

The Callcredit Report indicates that whilst the online ordering channel is already established, significantfurther opportunity for additional online penetration in the delivery takeaway market still exists. JUSTEAT currently enjoys an established position in this market, with an approximate 10% share of theonline delivery market by number of active customers according to the Callcredit Report.

The Directors believe that the market size stated above may be over-stated due to the methodologyemployed in the Callcredit Report. In French, there is no single translation for “takeaway” but rather thisterm includes repas livrés (delivered meals), plats à emporter (takeaway meals) and traiteur (preparedmeals for take-away, which includes supermarket traiteur counters). Given this definitional ambiguity,there is potential for over-estimation of the delivery takeaway market size in the analysis in theCallcredit Report.

Canada

The Directors believe that there are over 11,700 takeaway restaurants in Canada, while the totalannual delivery takeaway order value was estimated at approximately £2.6 billion as at November2013. Of this, the Callcredit Report indicates that the online delivery takeaway order value wasapproximately £1.0 billion per annum.

The Callcredit Report indicates that whilst the online ordering channel is already established, significantopportunity remains for further online penetration in the delivery takeaway market. JUST EAT currentlyhas an approximate 5% share of the online delivery market according to the Callcredit Report. TheDirectors believe that the majority of the remaining 95% of the market is attributable to restaurantchains in Canada, rather than online delivery aggregators.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

1. INTRODUCTION

JUST EAT operates the world’s largest online marketplace for restaurant delivery based on averagesearch volume in 2013, according to the Google keyword research tool. By enabling an easy andsecure way to order takeaway food (food for delivery or collection) from local takeaway restaurants, theCompany seeks to fulfil its mission to empower consumers to love their takeaway experience. JUSTEAT’s websites and mobile apps enable consumers to find an extensive array of local takeawayrestaurants and place orders directly through the JUST EAT platform. JUST EAT has market-leadingpositions in the majority of the 13 countries in which it operates (based on Google search traffic),including in its largest markets — the UK, Denmark, France, Canada, Ireland and Spain.

JUST EAT encourages consumers to shift from telephone based takeaway ordering to its onlineplatform by offering breadth of choice, ratings and reviews, ease of use and a more efficient consumerexperience when ordering from local takeaway restaurants.

JUST EAT provides takeaway restaurants with a cost effective channel for consumer acquisition aswell as a robust technology platform that can enhance both restaurant productivity during peakordering hours and kitchen utilisation during off-peak ordering hours.

The benefits offered by JUST EAT to both consumers and takeaway restaurants create network effectsthat are self-reinforcing: more consumers are drawn to the platform due to the number of takeawayrestaurants, which in turn attracts even more takeaway restaurants to the platform. The Directorsbelieve that having a leading competitive position in a given local market drives these network effects.

As a result, the Company is well placed to benefit from the combination of underlying growth in thefood delivery market and an ongoing shift towards online ordering. The number of orders placedthrough the JUST EAT platform grew from approximately 14 million during the year ended31 December 2011 to 40 million during the year ended 31 December 2013, at a CAGR of 70%, and thenumber of takeaway restaurants in the JUST EAT network increased from 16,985 as at 31 December2011 to 36,415 as at 31 December 2013. Over the same period, revenue increased at a CAGR of 69%to £96.8 million.

For the year ended 31 December 2013, JUST EAT had revenue of £96.8 million, Underlying EBITDAof £14.1 million and profit before tax of £10.2 million. The Company has generated positive UnderlyingEBITDA in the UK since 2010 and, on a consolidated basis, since 2011.

2. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT

The first JUST EAT website was launched in Denmark on 1 August 2001 and, by the end of 2002, theCompany was processing on average more than 250 orders per day. By the beginning of 2004, thewebsite had over 500 takeaway restaurants in its network and first achieved profitability.

In 2006, JUST EAT launched in the UK under the leadership of David Buttress, who subsequentlybecame Group CEO in 2013. Based on share of search traffic in 2013 and JUST EAT’s estimated 50%share of consumers ordering takeaway food online in the UK (according to the Callcredit Report), theDirectors believe that the Company’s UK business is a market leader. The UK business is the largestof the JUST EAT operations in terms of the number of takeaway restaurants and orders.

The Company’s global headquarters moved from Denmark to the UK in 2008.

In July 2009, JUST EAT raised £5 million from a Series A investment round led by Index Ventures.This investment enabled the Company to expand into other markets internationally, including Canada,and further develop its UK and Irish businesses. In February 2011, JUST EAT raised an additional£15 million from a Series B investment, with participation by Greylock IL and Redpoint Ventures. Thisinvestment enabled JUST EAT to acquire operations including joint ventures and associates in France,Italy and Switzerland. A third Series C round of investment in April 2012 was led by Vitruvian Partnersand raised £35 million for the Company.

Since its inception, JUST EAT has invested significant management, operational and financialresources in developing its network of takeaway restaurants, consumer offerings, business processes,technology infrastructure and brand, as well as international expansion. The Company currentlyoperates in the UK, nine other countries in Europe (Denmark, France, Spain, Ireland, Italy,Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands and Norway), Canada, Brazil and India.

Since 2009, the original founders of JUST EAT have not been involved in its operations and, after2011, have held no ownership interests in JUST EAT.

3. THE JUST EAT BUSINESS

3.1 Overview of business operations

JUST EAT provides consumers of takeaway food with an easy and secure way to order from takeawayrestaurants in their local area. Takeaway restaurants contract with the Group to join the JUST EATplatform and have their menus made accessible to consumers. JUST EAT’s websites and mobile appsallow consumers to search for local takeaway restaurants, place orders online and pay online or bycash on delivery. The online orders are transmitted to and accepted by takeaway restaurants viaJustConnect Terminals (“JCTs”), which send confirmations to consumers, following which thetakeaway restaurants prepare and deliver the food.

The Company primarily derives its revenue from commissions charged to restaurants on the value oforders placed through its platform, which were on average approximately 10.7% for the year ended31 December 2013. In addition, takeaway restaurants that join the JUST EAT network pay sign-up feesof up to approximately £850, depending on their geographical market. Restaurants may also payJUST EAT fees for orders placed by credit or debit card, which they may choose to pass on toconsumers, or for additional services, such as promotional top-placement marketing on the Company’splatform, and merchandise, such as JUST EAT branded packaging and menus. In certain countries,JUST EAT charges consumers a fixed fee on orders paid for by credit or debit card. For the yearended 31 December 2013, 87.5% of JUST EAT’s revenue was order driven (consisting of commissionrevenue and payment card fee revenue, which together constitute B2C revenue).

When a consumer chooses to make payment online, JUST EAT collects the full order value on behalfof the takeaway restaurant. JUST EAT receives the cash for this payment from the payment cardcompany after approximately three working days and then, on the next payment date, transfers to thetakeaway restaurant an amount equal to the online payments received less JUST EAT’s commissionsfor both cash and payment card orders and other fees. Payment to takeaway restaurants is made twiceper month in most of the countries in which JUST EAT operates.

3.2 Service to consumers

JUST EAT’s websites and mobile apps have an intuitive, user-friendly interface that allows consumersto find and choose their preferred takeaway restaurants and food. Restaurant search results, menusand consumer reviews are displayed in a consistent format and consumers can quickly view details forseveral takeaway restaurants. The Directors believe that the Company’s online aggregation andcomparison services simplify the ordering experience for consumers of takeaway food.

The following table sets forth the number of orders placed through JUST EAT for the years ended31 December 2013, 2012 and 2011.

3.2.1 Key benefits for consumers of takeaway food

The Directors believe that the key elements of JUST EAT’s value proposition to consumers are asfollows:

• Informed choice

The JUST EAT platform hosts a wide range of local takeaway restaurants, typically offering avariety of cuisines with multiple takeaway restaurants for each cuisine. Consumers can viewfull menus for food and beverages for each takeaway restaurant and read consumer reviewsand ratings of the takeaway restaurants before ordering. JUST EAT currently has four millionreviews on its platform, covering a range of topics from food quality to speed of delivery.Accordingly, the JUST EAT platform offers consumers immediate access to more informationthan they would otherwise be able to obtain, such as over the phone, from directories or fromadvertising leaflets.

• Convenience

JUST EAT offers a quick and easy way for consumers to order takeaway food. Consumerscan choose to pay cash on delivery or online with a credit or debit card, and can generallystore card and address/contact details, as well as details of previous orders and favourites, forfuture ease of ordering. JUST EAT’s mobile apps allow consumers to also order while on thego.

• Ordering experience

Unlike traditional telephone ordering, ordering through JUST EAT avoids delays or frustrationfrom engaged telephone lines or any confusion that can arise in telephone conversation. If theconsumer chooses to pay with a credit or debit card, details are taken by JUST EAT ratherthan the takeaway restaurant, for a more secure and centralised transaction. JUST EAT alsooffers customer service, both online through order support and chat, and offline through callcentres.

3.3 Service to takeaway restaurants

The JUST EAT network offers takeaway restaurants access to a large number of consumers whopurchase takeaway food. The Directors believe that membership in the network improves transactionalefficiency and also has a discernible impact on order volume and average order value and, thereby,total transaction value for takeaway restaurants, which justifies the costs of joining the network. For theyears ended 31 December 2013, 2012 and 2011, total transaction value for takeaway restaurants inthe JUST EAT network amounted to £682.4 million, £417.3 million and £232.8 million, respectively.

The following table sets forth the number of takeaway restaurants in the JUST EAT network as at31 December 2013, 2012 and 2011.

3.3.1 Key benefits for takeaway restaurants

The Directors believe that the key elements of JUST EAT’s value proposition to takeaway restaurantsare as follows:

• Increased orders and higher average order value

JUST EAT offers takeaway restaurants an additional channel for attracting consumers from awider potential audience. In the UK, for the year ended 31 December 2013, the top 10% oftakeaway restaurants measured by their volume of activity on the JUST EAT platformreceived on average 422 orders per month through JUST EAT, while the top 85% of

41

Page 48: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

takeaway restaurants on the platform received on average 138 orders per month throughJUST EAT. In addition, the average value of an order placed online is approximately 30%higher than the average value of an order placed over the telephone.

• Efficiency

The Company provides takeaway restaurants with an easy-to-use system through which theyreceive a clear print-out of consumer orders, thereby reducing communication errors and thenumber of staff required to process orders. The systems used by JUST EAT also enabletakeaway restaurants to process orders more quickly and efficiently than they can withtelephone ordering. This added efficiency is particularly beneficial during peak orderingperiods (evenings of Friday to Sunday), when UK takeaway restaurants receive on average26,000 orders per hour, compared to 10,000 orders per hour during quiet periods (Monday toThursday).

• Better marketing

Takeaway restaurants in the JUST EAT network benefit from the Company’s extensive online,television and other marketing campaigns. In addition, takeaway restaurants can offertargeted discounts through JUST EAT to drive sales volume during slower periods.Restaurants also have the opportunity to purchase top-placement rankings in search resultson the JUST EAT platform to better attract the attention of potential consumers.

• Scale benefits

Takeaway restaurants benefit from the scale of JUST EAT’s operations, which enable theCompany to develop and provide order management technology for the restaurants thatwould be difficult and costly for such restaurants to develop independently. In addition, JUSTEAT’s scale gives it purchasing power with respect to merchandise such as brandedpackaging and menus, so that takeaway restaurants can purchase these items from JUSTEAT at comparatively lower prices than those set by other merchandise suppliers. Throughconsumer reviews on the platform and industry conferences hosted by the Company,takeaway restaurants can also learn about consumer preferences and review feedback,helping them to develop their businesses accordingly.

3.4 Contractual arrangements

In all of JUST EAT’s countries of operation, takeaway restaurants that wish to join the JUST EATplatform are generally required to enter into contracts with the Company containing terms andconditions substantially based on each country’s standard form or forms. Each standard contractcontains a right to terminate for any reason on between 30 to 90 days’ notice (depending on thecountry) by the takeaway restaurant and on between zero and 90 days’ notice by the Company.Certain of the standard contracts also permit one or both parties to terminate only after expiration of aminimum initial term, or allow one or both parties to terminate on shorter notice in certaincircumstances, such as breach of certain material obligations by, or insolvency of, the other party.

4. STRENGTHS OF THE JUST EAT BUSINESS

The Directors believe that the Company’s key strengths are:

4.1 Compounded benefits from underlying growth of the takeaway food market and ongoingshift towards online ordering

JUST EAT’s most established countries of operation, the UK and Denmark, have experiencedsustained growth in the takeaway food market, supported by evolving consumer behaviour (such as areduced willingness to cook at home) and expanded consumer appetites for more diverse cuisines. Inaddition, the Directors believe that the penetration of online ordering within the overall takeaway foodmarket is steadily increasing, driven by general e-commerce adoption trends as well as the specificbenefits that JUST EAT offers to both consumers and takeaway restaurants.

42

Page 49: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

4.2 Attractive local markets in key countries of operation

JUST EAT has market-leading positions in the majority of the 13 countries in which it operates,including in its largest markets — the UK, Denmark, France, Canada, Ireland and Spain. The Directorsbelieve that these countries are among the world’s most attractive markets for takeaway food, as theyare characterised by factors such as ideal weather conditions for takeaway ordering (long cold winterswith diminished daylight hours), a fragmented market of largely independent takeaway restaurants andfewer established restaurant chains offering competing takeaway services, as well as high levels ofinternet penetration and e-commerce adoption. In the UK in particular, where the fragmentedrestaurant base is particularly suited to JUST EAT’s business model, consumer preferences for variedcuisines have encouraged the growth and diversification of the takeaway industry. For the year ended31 December 2013, the top ten takeaway restaurants measured by volume of activity on the JUSTEAT platform represented less than 1% of orders and commission revenue in the UK and less than 5%in Denmark, and the top 10% of restaurants represented less than 40% of total transaction value andcommission revenue in the UK and in Denmark.

4.3 Competitive advantages for the local market leader through strong network effects

The Directors believe that having a leading competitive position in a given local market drives strongernetwork effects, creating a self-reinforcing business model. More consumers are drawn to the platformdue to the number of takeaway restaurants, which in turn attracts even more takeaway restaurants tothe platform. These network effects create a virtuous circle that helps to build the JUST EAT brand anddrive consumer engagement in the JUST EAT marketplace. As a result, JUST EAT’s competitiveadvantages in those markets where it is the leader are further reinforced.

4.4 Strength of the JUST EAT online presence driving consumer traffic

JUST EAT has an established online presence, which helps to drive consumer traffic to the platform.JUST EAT generally appears in the top three in search results for “takeaway food” and relatedtakeaway food searches (e.g., “Chinese, Leeds”). The Company seeks to enhance its online visibilityand raise brand awareness through pay-per-click (“PPC”) marketing (also known as search enginemarketing (“SEM”)) and search engine optimisation (“SEO”), and has in-house experts to undertakesuch marketing activities in a cost effective manner. PPC marketing focuses on sponsored or paidlistings that are generated in response to search engine queries (i.e., paid search), while SEO focuseson enhancing the rankings and relevance of JUST EAT’s websites in organic search results. Onaverage, the Company is bidding on more than 3.5 million active keywords at any given time. JUSTEAT’s social media presence, with 2.2 million Facebook fans worldwide and over 40,000 Twitterfollowers, is also useful for enhancing brand awareness and attracting consumer traffic to the JUSTEAT platform.

4.5 Strength of the JUST EAT brand driving consumer traffic

The Directors believe that JUST EAT’s brand awareness is a key driver of website and mobile apppopularity and helps drive consumer traffic to the JUST EAT platform. The JUST EAT brand hasbenefited from award-winning creative positioning delivered through coordinated multi-media and multi-channel marketing initiatives, and the strength of the brand is reflected by the percentage of orders(approximately 80% for the year ended 31 December 2013 and approximately 88% for the threemonths ended 31 December 2013 in the UK) that are made through free traffic to the websites.

The Company has invested in television commercials and other advertising with both the immediateeffect of directing consumers to the site and the longer term benefit of increased brand recognition.Top-of-mind awareness, which measures the percentage of consumers for whom a given brand is thefirst brand that comes to mind when a customer is asked an unprompted question about a category,increased for JUST EAT in the takeaway food category from 20% in August 2012 to 39% in December2013 (in the UK). JUST EAT branding, such as signage on takeaway restaurant windows and logos onfood packaging and menus, not only acts as a cost effective marketing tool but is increasingly viewedby takeaway restaurants as an asset due to JUST EAT’s brand credibility. By marketing throughtakeaway restaurants in this manner, the Company can benefit from increased brand visibility at little tono additional cost.

4.6 Low consumer acquisition costs and predictable consumer usage supporting attractiveunit economics

According to the Company’s calculations, the cost per active account for the year ended December2013 was approximately £3.70 in the UK, compared to average revenue per order during the sameperiod of approximately £2.10. Consumer acquisition costs are kept low through cost effective PPCmarketing activities and the growing use of mobile apps, which generate an additional source of freetraffic.

JUST EAT’s platform has a high and stable conversion rate of visits to orders, which in the UK was28% for the year ended 31 December 2013, helping to lower the average consumer acquisition cost.Moreover, consumer re-order rates are stable and predictable, with approximately 50% of consumersreturning to the platform after their first order and continuing to order on average 10 times per yearthereafter in the UK. As a result, the Company has typically received relatively rapid payback for itsconsumer acquisition costs and derives high average lifetime values from its consumers. JUST EAT’sbusiness model, therefore, benefits from attractive unit economics.

4.7 Strong and active relationships with takeaway restaurants

JUST EAT maintains strong and active relationships with its takeaway restaurants through regularvisits and phone calls by members of the sales team and dedicated telephone support centres. Theserelationships are underpinned by each restaurant’s initial investment upon signing up to the JUST EATnetwork, as well as the restaurants’ ongoing contractual arrangements with the Company, each ofwhich the Directors believe encourages active participation and engagement by both parties. Bydeveloping long-term relationships with takeaway restaurants, JUST EAT can also use its industryknowledge and experience to help professionalise the industry by, for example, introducing moreadvanced order management technology, thereby allowing takeaway restaurants to deliver betterservice to consumers.

4.8 Efficient, established and scalable technology platform

The systems used by the Company both enhance the consumer experience of ordering online anddeliver business with speed and efficiency to takeaway restaurants. The Directors believe that theCompany’s installed base of JCTs and highly scalable back-end systems hosted by Amazon WebServices provide a competitive advantage to JUST EAT over other online takeaway food businesses,in terms of the completeness, accuracy and efficiency of the systems and the ability to scale acrossmany takeaway restaurants.

The Company’s JCTs are in use in nearly all of JUST EAT’s takeaway restaurants in the UK andDenmark. JUST EAT installed JCTs across its network of takeaway restaurants from an early stageand, in the Directors’ belief, significantly earlier than its competitors’ use of equivalent devices. Toachieve a comparable installed base and scalable systems of similar complexity would be difficult,costly and time-consuming. The Directors believe, therefore, that this early implementation andwidespread roll-out represents a significant competitive advantage.

Certain features of JCTs make them particularly well suited to providing fast and reliable service toconsumers and more efficient and cost effective service to takeaway restaurants. JCTs provide aclosed loop system for the takeaway restaurant to send an order confirmation to the consumer. Theclosed loop system also allows JUST EAT to monitor the status of orders in progress for betterinformation about takeaway restaurant operations. The quick response time between order andconfirmation through JCTs helps takeaway restaurants to deliver better customer service and achievegreater operating efficiency, by reducing order processing times. Moreover, the units require onlyGPRS connectivity, which reduces the need for broadband infrastructure and provides for fast andeasy implementation across takeaway restaurants.

4.9 Strong track record of growth and profitability in the UK and Denmark

JUST EAT has demonstrated a strong track record of revenue growth in the UK and Denmark. Overthe three-year period ended 31 December 2013, JUST EAT’s revenue in the UK increased to £68.8million compared to £21.4 million and its revenue in Denmark increased to £11.5 million compared to£8.8 million, reflecting a CAGR of 79% and 14%, respectively. Moreover, the Directors expect thepercentage of takeaway orders placed online to increase in the UK, from 20% as at November 2013 tolevels more comparable to the 49% observed in Denmark.

44

The margin potential of the JUST EAT model can be seen in Denmark, where the market is wellestablished in terms of online penetration and where the Company enjoys a solid leadership position.For the year ended 31 December 2013, the Denmark business generated a segment UnderlyingEBITDA margin of 40.2%. In the UK, JUST EAT’s segment Underlying EBITDA margin has increasedover the past three financial years, to 37.1% for the year ended 31 December 2013 compared to33.4% for 2012 and 22.5% for 2011. As online penetration increases in the takeaway food market andthe Company’s marketing and other operations become more cost effective, the Directors believe thatthere is potential for Underlying EBITDA margins in the UK to expand further.

4.10 Significant opportunity for revenue growth in the Company’s other markets

The Directors believe that JUST EAT has strong growth opportunities across its less establishedcountries of operations (i.e., countries other than the UK and Denmark). Since 2007, the Company hasexpanded internationally, having entered 11 countries through a combination of organic developmentand acquisitions. In the majority of these countries, JUST EAT has established a leading presence. Inaddition, the growth to date of the number of orders and takeaway restaurants in these countriesreinforces the Directors’ belief that the Company can continue to make use of its scalable technologyplatform and sales and marketing best practices, amongst other abilities, to further develop thesebusinesses.

4.11 Potential to expand into takeaway food collection

The Directors believe that the Company can further expand its addressable market by allowingordering for collection in addition to delivery. This represents another potential market for JUST EAT,and would expand the network to those restaurants that do not offer delivery services. With theincreasing popularity of JUST EAT’s mobile apps, the Directors anticipate that ordering for collectionwill become a growing part of the Company’s business.

4.12 Strong cash generation driven by attractive and growing margins, favourable workingcapital dynamics and low capital expenditure requirements

JUST EAT benefits from a business model that minimises credit risk and has favourable workingcapital dynamics, whereby the Company receives cash from card transactions within approximatelythree working days on average and distributes payment to takeaway restaurants twice a month in mostcountries net of commissions and fees. For the year ended 31 December 2013, 59% of all orders werepaid for by credit or debit card. The Company generally receives cash from card transactions in anamount that exceeds the payment amount to be distributed to its takeaway restaurants. Accordingly,the Company has very low bad debt. In addition, the Company is able to recoup the majority of itscapital expenditure requirements, as takeaway restaurants subsidise the cost of JCTs through theconnection fee charged by JUST EAT.

4.13 Experienced management team

JUST EAT’s strong track record of growth has been delivered by its established and experiencedmanagement team. The Company’s senior management team has significant expertise acrossfunctional areas such as information technology, technology product development and marketing. TheChief Executive Officer, David Buttress, led the UK business from launch in 2006, while the ChiefFinancial Officer, Mike Wroe, joined the business in 2008 and has extensive experience in CFO andFinance Director roles. The Directors believe that the management team’s expertise and continuity areimportant advantages in a rapidly growing market.

5. JUST EAT’S STRATEGY

The principal elements of the Company’s strategy are to:

5.1 Continue to improve the consumer experience to maintain JUST EAT’s leading marketpositions

JUST EAT intends to grow its leading positions in the market for online takeaway food by enhancingthe consumer experience in the following ways:

• More choice in takeaway restaurants

By expanding its network of takeaway restaurants, the Company can broaden and diversifythe range of choices available to consumers across existing and new local markets.

45

Page 52: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

• Improved technology platform

The Company intends to improve the JUST EAT user interface through new websitefunctionalities, as well as enhanced offerings for mobile devices, such as regularly updatedand improved mobile apps that can store previous order details and enable ordering forcollection.

• More information and improved ordering experience

Moreover, JUST EAT intends to maintain its focus on customer service. It is seeking toenhance the consumer’s ability to keep track of timing for the overall process of placing anorder, receiving the order confirmation, and being informed of the processing and deliverystatuses. In addition to information about the status of orders, the Company is consideringintroducing features to allow consumers to access more information about the takeawayrestaurants themselves, such as more reviews, nutrition and allergy information, and detailsrelating to other dietary requirements. The use of email communications that are tailored toconsumers’ demonstrated preferences can provide further informed choice.

5.2 Enhance offering to takeaway restaurants

The Company intends to continue to enhance its offering to takeaway restaurants in the followingways:

• Increase order volume and order value

As the business expands, JUST EAT intends to deliver higher order volumes to takeawayrestaurants by virtue of the informed choice, convenience and ordering experience that itsplatform offers to consumers of takeaway food. JUST EAT also intends to help generatehigher average order values through upselling to consumers, and to further develop itspromotions platform to encourage more ordering activity during quiet periods. Finally, theCompany will seek to make use of its valuable database of user information to generateincreased order volumes and increase its engagement with consumers, for example, throughtargeted email newsletters announcing new local takeaway restaurants.

• Better tools for takeaway restaurants

JUST EAT intends to offer better tools for takeaway restaurants to enhance their business,such as new models of JCTs, more advanced electronic point-of-sale (“EPOS”) systems forin-store order management and order status tracking, as well as the Partner Centre, wheretakeaway restaurants can order merchandise from JUST EAT and otherwise monitor theirlevel of business activity with the Company. As a first step towards being able to offer theEPOS tool to takeaway restaurants, JUST EAT recently acquired Meal 2 Order.com Limited.

• Better marketing and more targeted promotions

JUST EAT will also continue to develop marketing strategies that benefit its network, such asadditional opportunities for on-platform advertising by takeaway restaurants. The Companywill continue to assist takeaway restaurants to even out supply and demand imbalances fortakeaway food, by encouraging restaurants to offer special promotions during quiet periods(i.e., Monday to Thursday).

The Directors believe that, as a result of these initiatives, takeaway restaurants will view the JUST EATplatform as increasingly important and value enhancing for their businesses.

5.3 Continue transition to mobile based order platform

The Company intends to continue its transition to a mobile-first strategy, as increasing numbers ofconsumers are favouring mobile devices for online purchases. For the year ended 31 December 2013,43.8% of the orders received in the UK were placed from mobile devices, either through theCompany’s mobile apps or mobile websites. The Company intends to continue to upgrade its

46

Page 53: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

technology on a regular basis, for example by releasing enhanced apps for the iPhone and iPad, inorder to continue to provide a convenient, efficient and reliable service for the increasing proportion ofconsumers for whom mobile has become the preferred platform for conducting e-commercetransactions.

5.4 Continue to build the JUST EAT brand

The Company intends to continue to increase brand awareness through coordinated online and othermarketing initiatives, which should help to drive existing consumer re-order rates by helping the brandto remain top-of-mind, as well as enabling JUST EAT to acquire new consumers and attract moretakeaway restaurants. In particular, JUST EAT plans to continue to raise its profile by focusing itsmarketing efforts on further television advertising campaigns, and by continuing to deliver betterservice to consumers through its customer care team. The Company’s SEO marketing is also aimed atincreasing free traffic by enhancing the rankings of the JUST EAT websites on popular search engines.

5.5 Improve operational efficiency and margins

JUST EAT plans to continue to improve its profitability by pursuing operational excellence andcapturing further margin potential. In addition to sharing technology costs by further integrating theexisting JUST EAT platforms, the Company intends for other costs, including marketing expenditure, todecrease as a percentage of revenue. The Directors also expect that continuing investment in brandawareness and enhanced SEO and PPC marketing strategies will help to drive free or lower cost trafficand may potentially lower overall consumer acquisition costs. Where appropriate, the Company willalso improve its order management system to maintain cost discipline, for example with regard to thenumber and location of order management staff.

5.6 Strengthen competitive position in existing markets and potentially expand into newcountries via selective acquisitions

JUST EAT intends to pursue opportunities to strengthen and develop its business. The Company plansto grow within its existing countries of operation by continuing to invest in technology, marketing andthe sales team, as well as through newer initiatives such as enhancing the network’s ability to allowconsumers to order food for collection in addition to delivery and by acquiring and integratingcomplementary businesses. In the right circumstances, JUST EAT may potentially expand by enteringnew geographies via the acquisition of market leaders with positions of scale in those countries. TheCompany is also prepared to strengthen its business by divesting operations, if doing so is likely to bevalue-enhancing.

6. MARKETING AND PROMOTION

The JUST EAT brand is one of the Company’s most important assets. JUST EAT’s marketingcampaigns are directed at both consumers of takeaway food and takeaway restaurants, with the goalof attracting more consumers to the platform and more restaurants to the network. The Company hasadopted a “challenger” brand marketing strategy that uses both conventional and more innovativemarketing channels to create a comprehensive brand identity. According to an online survey conductedby YouGov in December 2013, approximately 73% of all UK adults who have ordered takeaway food atleast once every three months are aware of the JUST EAT brand. The same survey found that JUSTEAT overtook Domino’s Pizza as highest ranked for top-of-mind awareness when the same set ofconsumers was asked to name a takeaway food service, with 39% now naming JUST EAT as the topbrand.

For the year ended 31 December 2013, JUST EAT spent £23 million on marketing. The Companyemploys an in-house team to implement its marketing strategies in a cost effective manner. TheDirectors believe that investment in television advertising, in particular, can help to lower consumeracquisition costs by generating more direct-to-site and organic search traffic.

6.1 Marketing to consumers

6.1.1 Online and other digital marketing

For the year ended 31 December 2013, approximately 80% (and approximately 88% for the threemonths ended 31 December 2013) of the Company’s orders in the UK were acquired through non-paidtraffic to the websites, i.e., organic searches for terms such as “JUST EAT” or “takeaway food”, as wellas direct visits to the website. JUST EAT’s digital marketing team is seen as an industry leader and isoften invited to speak at industry conferences. In 2013, the digital marketing team won a number ofawards, including the IQ Talent Award and Best Social Customer Service Strategy at the Social Buzzawards.

• SEO

Search engines are an important source of traffic for JUST EAT and potential consumers can arrive atthe Company’s websites through organic search results or through sponsored listings. Search enginessuch as Google do not charge websites to appear in organic search results but rather rank websitesaccording to an algorithm. The more highly ranked the website, the greater the probability that a userwill visit that website rather than a competing lower ranked website. SEO activities are focused onenhancing the rankings and relevance of JUST EAT’s websites in organic search results that aredelivered to internet users in response to search queries. Visitors to the websites originating fromorganic search results entail minimal direct costs to the Company and, as a result, SEO activities are aparticularly cost effective means of consumer acquisition, although changes in search engines’algorithms (particularly Google’s) can, from time to time, result in reduced rankings on certain searchterms. JUST EAT has developed significant internal expertise in this area of online marketing.

• PPC (SEM) marketing

JUST EAT has a dedicated PPC marketing team that uses a bid management tool to managecampaigns on search engines, including Google and Bing. In contrast to SEO, PPC marketing focuseson sponsored or paid listings that are generated in response to search engine queries (i.e., paidsearch). For the year ended 31 December 2013, PPC marketing comprised 31% of the Company’smarketing expenditure.

The Company purchases sponsored listings on search engines’ results pages for certain relevantkeyword searches. A website’s position within the paid search results table for particular keywords isdetermined by the revenue earned by the search engine from the listing. The search engine will displaythe sponsored listing from which it will earn the greatest revenue at the top of the sponsored listingstable, typically on the top or right hand side of the search results page. A search engine’s revenue isdetermined by the bid price for the search term (i.e., cost per click) multiplied by the click-through rateof the sponsored listing (i.e., the predicted propensity of internet users to actually click on thesponsored link). The click-through rate is in part influenced by brand awareness, since greater brandawareness will generally lead to a higher click-through rate. This means that well recognised brandscan potentially attract visitors at a lower cost per click than lesser known brands because wellrecognised brands will generally attract increased volumes of clicks. The relevance of the explanatorytext used beneath the actual link can also improve the click through rate and consequently reduceconsumer acquisition costs through PPC marketing.

• Social media marketing

As at 31 December 2013, JUST EAT had 2.2 million Facebook fans worldwide and over 40,000followers on Twitter. JUST EAT’s social media accounts are used to respond to customer servicequeries and, more broadly, to communicate quickly and directly with consumers to stimulate onlinementions of the brand. The Company’s social media presence also enables “dual screen” marketing toviewers of JUST EAT television advertisements who are also engaged with JUST EAT on their mobiledevices. In addition, the Company sends out weekly newsletter emails and other emailcommunications, including promotions and discounts, to the consumers in its database.

Following the launch in 2013 of JUST EAT apps for iPhone and Android, the Company has marketedthem under various slogans. The digital marketing team won the 2013 IQ Talent Award for thiscampaign in the UK.

6.1.2 Television

JUST EAT’s television advertising campaigns are targeted at its core consumer demographics ofstudents, young professionals and technology-literate families and scheduled at times when they aremore likely to be feeling hungry. In addition to raising brand awareness, television advertising mayresult in an almost immediate response from viewers to order from JUST EAT via mobile devices orcomputers, and also allows the Company to monitor the effect of its advertising on consumers after it isbroadcast.

For the year ended 31 December 2013, television marketing comprised 31% of the Company’smarketing expenditure.

JUST EAT commenced its first television marketing campaign in the UK in November 2009. The firsttwo segments of the advertisements continued to be broadcast throughout 2010, and a second wavewas broadcast until February 2012.

Following the launch of the “Don’t cook, JUST EAT” re-brand campaign in September 2012, a newseries of television advertisements was broadcast across 11 countries in which JUST EAT operates. In2013, the Company went beyond normal television media to engage in “dual screen” marketing,staging a live televised “kidnapping” of a celebrity chef, during which viewers were invited to interactwith the chef via their mobile devices. The “Don’t cook, JUST EAT” campaign has won multipleadvertising and digital marketing awards, including the Sunday Times Tech Track Brand of the Year in2012 and Re-brand of the Year and the Chairman’s Award at the Drum Marketing Awards in 2013.

6.1.3 Other offline marketing

JUST EAT has adopted innovative and award-winning offline marketing strategies. In November 2012,the Company entered the figurehead of the “Don’t cook, JUST EAT” campaign, “Mr Mozzarella”, into aparliamentary by-election in Corby, in the UK. The campaign, which attracted national media attention,won the 2013 International Silver SABRE Award for best guerrilla campaign, the significance of whichis reflected by the fact that the SABRE awards attract more entries from around the world than anyother PR award. JUST EAT also markets through branded cars for its sales team and additionaladvertising on buses, taxis and other dedicated outdoor spaces.

6.2 Marketing through takeaway restaurants

The Company benefits from the use of JUST EAT branded merchandise and signage by takeawayrestaurants, usually at little or no additional cost, which gives JUST EAT a significant high streetpresence and visibility with minimal marketing expenditure. A number of takeaway restaurants displayeither or both of a “JUST EAT” sticker in their window and a “JUST EAT” sign above their doors. AsJUST EAT can use its greater purchasing power (relative to independent takeaway restaurants) toenable restaurants to purchase packaging, menu leaflets, delivery bags and other merchandise atcomparatively lower prices than they would find elsewhere, the Company also receives predominantlyfree publicity through the JUST EAT branding on that merchandise.

6.3 Marketing to takeaway restaurants

JUST EAT markets to takeaway restaurants in order to expand the JUST EAT network and offerconsumers more choice in takeaway food. The Company has a team of over 150 sales peopleworldwide to recruit new takeaway restaurants to the network and maintain ongoing relationships withexisting members. JUST EAT also uses dedicated trade advertising and attendance at restaurantconferences to promote the benefits of its network to potential new members. The Company sponsorsthe British Curry Awards and the Pizza, Pasta & Italian Food Association awards.

7. COMPETITION

JUST EAT competes with a range of online and offline participants in the takeaway food business,including other online takeaway food aggregator portals (e.g., hungryhouse.com in the UK), localindependent restaurants, as well as independent restaurants and restaurant chains offeringconventional or online ordering services or both (e.g., Domino’s Pizza in the UK).

49

Page 56: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

The market for takeaway food is characterised by a large number of participants, and JUST EAT facescompetition from local independent restaurants (including existing takeaway restaurants in its ownnetwork) offering telephone-based and walk-in takeaway food services. These restaurants often havean established local customer base that may not be incentivised to shift towards online ordering. JUSTEAT also faces competition from independent restaurants and restaurant chains that offer onlineordering services through their own websites and mobile apps, such as Domino’s Pizza or similarchains.

The Directors expect that competition from these market participants will remain significant and thatnew participants with similar or greater technological capabilities may also enter the market. In order tomaintain its position in the online takeaway food market, JUST EAT intends to continue to improve theconsumer experience, expand its network of takeaway restaurants, and enhance the efficiency of itsordering systems through upgrades in the quality and functionality of the website and apps for mobiledevices.

8. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

8.1 Information Technology (“IT”) systems

JUST EAT has an in-house IT team that is dedicated to maintaining the stability and security of existingoperations, supporting business growth, delivering innovation and advancement in the Company’stechnology and integrating acquired businesses and platforms. The Company’s IT department hasgrown from 45 individuals in the year ended 31 December 2011 to 96 individuals in the year ended31 December 2013. This increase reflects the growth of the Company’s investment in technology asthe JUST EAT business has grown.

The Company’s e-commerce platform and its associated applications, as well as its testing anddevelopmental toolsets and mobile apps, are primarily hosted through a cloud infrastructure providedby Amazon Web Services. The Directors believe that the use of a public cloud infrastructure providesresilience, flexibility and cost effectiveness in relation to software architecture, as well as efficienciesand capacity provisioning during peak business hours.

JUST EAT uses the majority of tools provided by the Google Apps package. These include Gmail forcorporate email requirements, Google Drive for local file storage, Sites for intranet tools and Google+and Hangouts for internal networking and collaboration.

The Company contracts with a nearshoring IT Company based in Kiev, Ukraine, which currentlyengages a team of consultants to work on certain projects, including product localisation and platformmigration projects.

8.2 Order management and JCTs

JUST EAT has developed and implemented a real-time order management system based on the useof JCTs in takeaway restaurants. The Directors believe that the Company’s installed base of JCTs andequivalent systems help to differentiate JUST EAT from many other online takeaway food businesses,in terms of the accuracy and efficiency of the systems and the ability to scale across many thousandsof takeaway restaurants.

The JCTs are supplied by VeriFone and provided to takeaway restaurants that join the JUST EATnetwork. They are operated through the Box Handler application, which manages connections to theJCTs and the transmission of order data. When an order is placed on the JUST EAT platform, it istransmitted to the JCT, which emits a sound to announce the order. Staff members at the takeawayrestaurant have the option to confirm the order, modify the delivery time of the order or reject the order.The order confirmation is sent to the Box Handler, which then informs the consumer accordingly. Oncethe response has been sent, the final part of the order summary, containing the confirmation and timingof the order or the rejection, is printed. This closed loop system allows JUST EAT to monitor the statusof orders for better information about restaurant operations. The largely automated nature of the JCTsystem enables the quick and efficient addition of new takeaway restaurants to the network and is,therefore, an important component of the business’s ability to scale.

The JCT uses a GPRS modem and wireless SIM over the mobile telephone network, with no need forinternet connectivity.

8.3 Websites

The first JUST EAT site was launched in August 2001. The Company’s principal website in the UK,www.just-eat.co.uk, was launched in 2006 and, for the year ended 31 December 2013, received onaverage approximately 7 million visitors per month, an increase of 150% since 2011. The websitesoperate search algorithms that enable consumers to search for takeaway food by postcode and to filterby cuisine, distance, restaurant type and consumer rating. Reviews from consumers are sorted basedon volume and form part of the algorithm for restaurant listings. Restaurants in the network may alsopay additionally for promotion through top placement in search results on the websites. In the UK,approximately 6,500 takeaway restaurants in the JUST EAT network have had websites built for themby the Company. These websites link to the menu page on www.just-eat.co.uk and have noindependent transactional capability.

JUST EAT works with third parties to improve the consumer experience by using technology tointerpret consumer feedback regarding its websites in the UK, and plans to expand the feedbackprogramme to other locations in which the Company operates.

8.4 Mobile technology

JUST EAT launched its first mobile website in 2011, and first released mobile apps for iPhone in 2012and Android in 2013. Orders placed on mobile devices increased by 350% between the year ended31 December 2011 and 2012, and again by a further 200% between the year ended 31 December2012 and 2013. For the year ended 31 December 2013, 43.8% of JUST EAT orders received in the UKwere placed from mobile devices, either through the Company’s mobile apps or mobile website. Ordersplaced through mobile apps comprised approximately 42% of total mobile orders in the UK during thatperiod.

The Company’s mobile apps operate in a similar manner to its websites, by requiring the consumer toenter a postcode (or via automated geo-location) and then applying a filter to show takeawayrestaurants within delivery or collection distance. The consumer may then select any of the resultingrestaurants and add menu items to the shopping cart shown on screen. JUST EAT intends to continueto improve and upgrade its mobile apps, for example to enable re-ordering on the basis of theconsumer’s previous order history and tracking of the order processing and delivery status after anorder has been confirmed.

8.5 Information technology support and protection

JUST EAT has dedicated engineering and technology teams that are responsible for the variouscomponents of the e-commerce platform, including development, deployment and operations.Operational support for the platform is available around the clock. JUST EAT’s public platform andinternal services are continuously monitored and alerts are raised automatically to staff when issuesarise so that the on-call team can take appropriate action.

The majority of the Company’s systems are hosted by Amazon Web Services. In addition, theCompany has a managed hosting relationship with Solido, which hosts certain financial and otherapplications for JUST EAT. Consumer payment card data is processed by third-party service providersthat are compliant with security standards for the card payment industry.

8.6 Resilience and disaster recovery

JUST EAT has established formal disaster recovery policies for its UK and Danish business operationsthat aim to restore business productivity as quickly as possible, in order to protect the Company’scommercial interests and uphold levels of service for consumers and takeaway restaurants. Thedisaster recovery policies contain guidelines regarding the dissemination of information, assessment ofthe disaster, relocation, repair or replacement of systems, interim recovery steps, and requireddeliverables to facilitate recovery from disaster scenarios. Among other situations, the disasterrecovery policies address failure of internet connection, failure of payment provider or card acquirerservices, unavailability of one or more telecommunications network providers, inability to access theoffice, power outages and failures of one or more JUST EAT systems or applications.

The Directors believe that the use of cloud infrastructure through Amazon Web Services to host JUSTEAT’s platform has reduced the risk of both systems failure and physical loss of data, although the

51

Page 58: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

Company also creates a back-up data repository on a daily basis and stores this off-site in order torecover data if ever required. In addition, JUST EAT maintains insurance policies that provide coverfor, amongst other things, loss of or damage to computer hardware, loss of data (including as a resultof accidental damage, malicious attacks or viruses, natural disasters and corruption of data) andcomputer virus, denial of service and unauthorised use.

9. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The Company’s key trade mark is the JUST EAT name itself, whether used in its plain or stylisedforms, or in conjunction with one or more of its marketing slogans. JUST EAT takes a proactiveapproach to the protection of its intellectual property. The Company has registered or applied for trademarks in every country of operation, as well as with the Office for Harmonization for the Internal Marketof the European Union.

JUST EAT has proprietary rights over bespoke information technology applications and systems that ithas developed for operating its business and interacting with its network of takeaway restaurants. TheCompany also has software development agreements in place with certain third party softwaredevelopers, pursuant to which all intellectual property and proprietary rights over the software that hasbeen developed vest in JUST EAT, although the developer may use certain information for a specifiedproject under licence.

The Company has registered domain names for approximately 18,000 website addresses, including allof its key existing websites, such as www.just-eat.co.uk, www.just-eat.dk, www.just-eat.ca,www.alloresto.fr, www.just-eat.es and www.just-eat.ie. The Company’s legal team manages theregistration and administration of the Group’s domain name portfolio, with assistance from a third partydomain name management company.

In addition, JUST EAT relies on a combination of certain registered rights, unregistered rights andintellectual property laws, as well as confidentiality agreements and licence agreements with itstakeaway restaurants, suppliers and others, to protect its proprietary rights. The Company hasconfidentiality and proprietary information arrangements in place with key employees to protect tradesecrets and commercially sensitive information.

The Company also licenses technology software from third parties for managing aspects of itsbusiness, including its accounting and invoicing functions.

10. EMPLOYEES

3. DIRECTORS’ AND SENIOR MANAGERS’ INTERESTS

Details of the interests of each Director and Senior Manager in the voting rights of the Company,together with what their respective interests are expected to be immediately following Admission, areset out in paragraph 6.2 of Part XVI (Additional Information).

4. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Board is committed to the highest standards of corporate governance. Other than as set out in thisparagraph 4, (a) on Admission the Board will comply, and (b) from Admission intends to continue tocomply, with the UK Corporate Governance Code, which sets out standards of good practice in relationto board leadership and effectiveness, remuneration, accountability and relations with shareholders.The Board also intends to take account of institutional shareholder and governance rules and guidanceon disclosure and shareholder authorisation.

The UK Corporate Governance Code recommends that at least half the members of the board ofdirectors, excluding the chairman, should comprise non-executive directors determined by the board tobe independent. For the purposes of assessing compliance with the UK Corporate Governance Code,the Board considers that Andrew Griffith and Gwyn Burr are non-executive directors who areindependent of management and free from any business or other relationship that could materiallyinterfere with the exercise of their independent judgment. The Board also considers that the chairman ofthe Company was independent at the time of appointment.

Following his appointment, the Chairman has participated in the Company’s Joint Share Ownership Plan.Under the Joint Share Ownership Plan the Chairman holds an interest in 1,620,000 B ordinary Sharesand 1,597,050 Ordinary Shares, held jointly with the trustee of an employee benefit trust. In common withother participants in the Joint Share Ownership Plan, the Chairman participates in the associated loanarrangements on the same terms as other participants, and on the Latest Practicable Date had anoutstanding balance of £544,447.01. The terms of the Joint Share Ownership Plan and associated loanarrangements are described in paragraph 9.1.4 of Part XVI (Additional Information). The Board does notconsider that this participation in the Company’s Joint Share Ownership Plan and associated loanarrangements has an adverse impact on the Chairman’s exercise of independent judgment. As the Boardconsists of the chairman, two independent non-executive directors, two executive directors and four non-executive directors who are not regarded as independent for the purposes of the UK CorporateGovernance Code by virtue of their connection with certain Major Selling Shareholders, the Companydoes not comply with this recommendation of the UK Corporate Governance Code. As the Board willhave two independent non-executive directors as well as a chairman (who the Board considers wasindependent on appointment), the Board is satisfied that no individual will dominate the Board’s decision

taking, no undue reliance will be placed on particular individuals, there will be sufficient challenge ofexecutive management in meetings of the Board and the Board will be capable of operating effectivelyfrom Admission. The Company is actively seeking to recruit an additional independent non-executivedirector and intends to make an appointment within 90 days following Admission. In addition Ms Bowdenhas indicated that she intends to resign as a director within 180 days following Admission.

The Company intends to become fully compliant with the UK Corporate Governance Code in themedium term. The Company also intends that each of the directors will stand for re-election on anannual basis.

The senior independent director is Andrew Griffith, who will serve as an additional point of contact forshareholders should they feel that their concerns are not being addressed through the normalchannels. Mr. Griffith is, furthermore, available to fellow non-executive directors, either individually orcollectively, should they wish to discuss matters of concern in a forum that does not include theexecutive directors.

The Board has established three principal committees, the Audit Committee, the RemunerationCommittee and the Nomination Committee which will take effect following Admission.

Following Admission becoming effective, the members of each committee will be as follows:

Chairman Members

Thechairman of the Audit Committee is Andrew Griffith and he has recent and relevant financialexperience. Although the composition of the committee does not comply with the requirements of theUK Corporate Governance Code by virtue of one of its members, Frederic Coorevits, not being anindependent non-executive director, the Board considers that it has a strong independentnon-executive component and that the continuity, experience and knowledge of Mr Coorevits shouldensure that he makes a significant contribution to the work of the committee. Further, as noted abovethe Company intends to appoint an additional independent non-executive director to the Board within90 days following Admission and, once appointed it is intended that this director, would also beappointed as a member of the Audit Committee and replace Mr Coorevits following an appropriatetransition period.

The terms of reference of the Audit Committee state that the Audit Committee shall meet as frequentlyas the Audit Committee deems appropriate, and in any event not less than three times per full financialyear. The quorum for meetings of the Audit Committee will be two members.

The terms of reference of the Audit Committeealso set out the authority of the Audit Committee to investigate any matter within its terms of reference.

1. OVERVIEW

JUST EAT operates the world’s largest online marketplace for restaurant delivery based on averagesearch volume in 2013, according to the Google keyword research tool. By enabling an easy andsecure way to order takeaway food (food for delivery or collection) from local takeaway restaurants, theCompany seeks to fulfil its mission to empower consumers to love their takeaway experience. JUSTEAT’s websites and mobile apps enable consumers to find an extensive array of local takeawayrestaurants and place orders directly through the JUST EAT platform. JUST EAT has market-leadingpositions in the majority of the 13 countries in which it operates (based on Google search traffic),including in its largest markets — the UK, Denmark, France, Canada, Ireland and Spain.

The benefits offered by JUST EAT to both consumers and takeaway restaurants create network effectsthat are self-reinforcing: more consumers are drawn to the platform due to the number of takeawayrestaurants, which in turn attracts even more takeaway restaurants to the platform. The Directorsbelieve that having a leading competitive position in a given local market drives these network effects.

As a result, the Company is well placed to benefit from the combination of underlying growth in thefood delivery market and an ongoing shift towards online ordering. The number of orders placedthrough the JUST EAT platform grew from approximately 14 million during the year ended31 December 2011 to 40 million during the year ended 31 December 2013, at a CAGR of 70%, and thenumber of takeaway restaurants in the JUST EAT network increased from 16,985 as at 31 December2011 to 36,415 as at 31 December 2013. Over the same period, revenue increased at a CAGR of 69%to £96.8 million.

For the year ended 31 December 2013, JUST EAT recorded revenue of £96.8 million, UnderlyingEBITDA of £14.1 million and profit before tax of £10.2 million. Revenue amounted to £68.8 million,£11.5 million and £16.3 million in the UK, Denmark and Other operations, respectively, while segmentUnderlying EBITDA amounted to £25.5 million, £4.6 million and negative £11.8 million, respectively.

2. SIGNIFICANT FACTORS AFFECTING RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Directors believe that the following factors have had, and may continue to have, a material effecton JUST EAT’s results of operations.

2.1 Growth in number of orders and average revenue per order

The number of orders placed through the Company’s platform and the average revenue per orderdirectly affect JUST EAT’s results of operations, and in particular affect the levels of commission andpayment card fee revenue. Commissions are charged to takeaway restaurants based on the value of

63

Page 70: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

each order they receive through JUST EAT. Average revenue per order is determined by the averageorder value, the average commission rate and the average credit or debit card fee charged byJUST EAT. Commission revenue constitutes the largest component of JUST EAT’s revenue andamounted to 75.2%, 72.5% and 70.4% of revenue for the years ended 31 December 2013, 2012 and2011, respectively. Commission revenue increased during the periods under review, primarily as aresult of the higher number of orders placed, which was in turn driven by increases in the number ofconsumers and the number of takeaway restaurants in the JUST EAT network.

The Company also generates revenue from fees charged in connection with orders paid for by credit ordebit card. Payment card fee revenue amounted to 12.3%, 12.2% and 10.9% of revenue for the yearsended 31 December 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The fee charged to takeaway restaurants and/or consumers varies depending on the country and payment method. Payment card fees averagedapproximately £0.50 per card order for the year ended 31 December 2013. Revenue from paymentcard fees has increased as a result of the higher number of orders, as well as an increase in theproportion of consumers paying by credit or debit card.

B2C revenue is the total of commission revenue and revenue from fees charged in connection withorders paid for by credit or debit card.

2.2 Growth in number of takeaway restaurants

JUST EAT derives revenue from the takeaway restaurants in its network in the form of connection feesand top-placement fees. Connection fees represent the initial sign-up fee paid by a takeawayrestaurant to join the JUST EAT network, as well as the equipment fee paid for the provision of a JCT.Connection fees are one-off payments. Connection fee revenue is allocated between the sign-up feeportion, which is recognised as revenue over a 12-month period, and the equipment fee portion, whichis recognised as revenue on a straight-line basis over a three-year period. During the periods underreview, increases in the number of new takeaway restaurants joining the platform and in theconnection fee charged resulted in higher connection fee revenue. Connection fees also have afavourable impact on net cash flow from operating activities, since the payments for these fees arereceived in advance of the connection fee being recognised.

JUST EAT also receives annual subscription fees from its takeaway restaurants in Denmark andFrance in addition to commission revenue. As the number of takeaway restaurants in these countriesincreased during the periods under review, the additional subscription fees received also contributed tohigher revenue for JUST EAT.

Top-placement fees are charged to takeaway restaurants to be listed amongst the top search resultsfor a particular postcode. Revenue from top-placement fees is recognised over the duration of theplacement, which can be for up to three months. During the periods under review, higher numbers oftakeaway restaurants in a particular area generally led to greater competition between restaurants andincreased demand for the top-placement service.

2.3 Marketing costs

During the periods under review, JUST EAT invested significantly in marketing, which is a keycomponent of the Company’s strategy to be the largest online marketplace for restaurant delivery ineach of its countries of operation. The Directors believe that as a result of greater brand awareness,more consumers will be attracted to the JUST EAT platform and, consequently, more takeawayrestaurants will join the JUST EAT network. Marketing expenditure amounted to 24.2%, 25.6% and23.1% of revenue for the years ended 31 December 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The following table sets forth marketing expenditure as a percentage of revenue for each of theCompany’s operating segments for the periods indicated.

2.4 Cost of establishing operations in countries outside of the UK and Denmark

JUST EAT’s operations in countries outside of the UK and Denmark are included in the Other segmentin the consolidated financial statements. The Company has incurred marketing and other expendituresas part of its strategy to establish leading competitive positions in these markets, resulting in negativesegment Underlying EBITDA in the Other segment. Given the levels of expenditure, the Other segmentrecorded negative segment EBITDA of £11.8 million, £13.1 million and £6.3 million, for the yearsended 31 December 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The negative segment Underlying EBITDA inthe Other segment has impacted, and may continue in future periods to impact, JUST EAT’sconsolidated results of operations and Underlying EBITDA.

As part of its international expansion, JUST EAT also made a number of acquisitions during theperiods under review, which have impacted its results of operations and Underlying EBITDA. JUSTEAT acquired one operation during the year ended 31 December 2013, three operations during theyear ended 31 December 2012 and six operations during the year ended 31 December 2011. Inaddition, the Company entered into two joint ventures during the year ended 31 December 2011.

2.5 Impairment of the Netherlands business

In January 2012, JUST EAT purchased the outstanding share capital of its joint venture operation inthe Netherlands, which from that time became a wholly owned subsidiary and was consolidated inJUST EAT’s consolidated financial statements. At the time that this business became a subsidiary,goodwill and other intangible assets of £7.4 million were recognised on acquisition. Managementsubsequently wrote off these assets, resulting in an impairment charge of £7.2 million recorded in theincome statement for the year ended 31 December 2012, as management made the judgment that theDutch business had not achieved a significant competitive position in its market.

2.6 Seasonal fluctuations

JUST EAT’s results of operations are subject to seasonal fluctuations across the year. Order numbersacross the takeaway food industry are typically higher during autumn and winter, when consumers areless likely to dine out due to the shorter daylight hours and likelihood of bad weather; conversely,orders decline during the warmer spring and summer months when conditions are more conducive todining out and consumers choose alternatives such as barbeques. In terms of specific months,January often has lower orders as many consumers cut back on the number of takeaway meals theyplan to eat in the New Year, although 1 January in Denmark is the peak trading day, with orderssignificantly exceeding any other trading day. In the UK, there is usually an increase in revenue growthin September and October, as a large number of JUST EAT consumers are students and universityand college terms begin in this month. As a result of these seasonal fluctuations, comparisons of JUSTEAT’s operating results over any interim periods may not be meaningful and such comparisons maynot be an accurate indicator of the Company’s future performance for any annual period.

2.7 Foreign currency translation

JUST EAT conducted operations in 13 countries around the world as at 31 December 2013. Asubstantial portion of JUST EAT’s revenue is denominated in Sterling and Danish Krone, with theremainder of revenues being denominated in the local currencies of the other countries in which theCompany operates. The Company generally seeks to match the currency of its revenue and expensesfor its operations in each jurisdiction to reduce its exposure to currency fluctuations. In limitedcircumstances, however, the revenues and expenses may be in different currencies. The Companyreports its consolidated financial statements in Sterling and, consequently, the presentation of theconsolidated financial statements may be materially affected by movements in foreign exchange ratesand, particularly, by Danish Krone/Sterling and Euro/Sterling exchange rates.

3. KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

JUST EAT monitors four operational key performance indicators (“KPIs”): number of orders, averagerevenue per order (defined as B2C revenue divided by the number of orders), number of activeconsumer accounts (unique accounts used to place at least one completed order during the previous365 days) and number of takeaway restaurants. Each of these KPIs has increased during the periodsunder review.

(A) B2C revenue

The largest component of revenue is B2C revenue, which comprises commission revenue and revenuefrom fees charged in connection with orders paid for by credit or debit card. B2C revenue amounted to£84.6 million, £50.6 million and £27.4 million, representing 87.5%, 84.7% and 81.2% of total revenuefor the years ended 31 December 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

During the periods under review, B2C revenue increased primarily due to higher order numbers, aswell as increases in the average revenue per order. The number of orders placed through theJUST EAT platform increased to 40.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2013 compared to 25.3million for 2012 and 13.9 million for 2011. Moreover, the increase in B2C revenue also was due to theincrease in the average revenue per order during the periods under review, which was £2.11 for theyear ended 31 December 2013 compared to £2.00 for 2012 and £1.97 for 2011.

Commission is charged to takeaway restaurants based on the value of each order they receive throughJUST EAT. The commission rate charged varies across JUST EAT’s countries of operation and wasapproximately 10.7% on average for the year ended 31 December 2013. JUST EAT has been able toincrease its commission rates in certain circumstances as the scale of operations in a country and boththe number of takeaway restaurants and the number of orders have grown. In Denmark, B2C revenueconstituted a lower proportion of revenue due to historically lower commission rates, which aresupplemented by an annual subscription fee paid by the takeaway restaurants which is recorded inconnection fee revenue.

Payment card fees are charged by JUST EAT to takeaway restaurants and/or consumers on almost allorders placed through JUST EAT that are paid for by credit or debit card. The fee covers the chargesincurred by JUST EAT (which are recorded in the cost of sales) from the payment service provider, thecard acquirer and administration costs, and also generates a margin for JUST EAT.

During the periods under review, payment card fee revenue increased primarily due to higher ordernumbers, as well as an increased percentage of orders paid for by card. From June 2013 onwards, inDenmark, JUST EAT has only charged payment card fees that are equal to the fees charged by thepayment service provider, as a result of a change in the applicable regulations that has required it to doso. If JUST EAT were to decide to adopt this practice, or be required to do so, in its other countries ofoperation, the rate of growth for payment card fee revenue will be reduced in future periods.

(B) Connection fee revenue

Connection fees represent the initial sign-up fee paid by a takeaway restaurant to join the JUST EATnetwork, as well as the equipment fee paid for the provision of a JCT. Connection fees are one-offpayments, and connection fee revenue is allocated between the sign-up fee portion, which isrecognised as revenue over a 12-month period, and the equipment fee portion, which is recognised asrevenue on a straight-line basis over a three-year period. In Denmark, the connection fee also includesan annual subscription fee paid by takeaway restaurants. Total connection fee revenue amounted to£5.0 million, £4.2 million and £2.7 million, representing 5.1%, 7.0% and 7.9% of revenue for the yearsended 31 December 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in connection fee revenueduring the periods under review reflected increases in the number of new takeaway restaurants joiningthe network.

(C) Top-placement fee revenue

Top-placement fees are charged to takeaway restaurants who want to be listed amongst the topsearch results in a particular postcode. Takeaway restaurants can pay a fee to be in the top four placesof a particular postcode for a period of up to 12 weeks, with pricing varying by postcode. Top-placement fee revenue amounted to £6.0 million, £4.4 million and £2.7 million, representing 6.2%,7.4% and 7.9% of revenue for the years ended 31 December 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Theincrease in top-placement fee revenue during the periods under review was mainly due to the increasein takeaway restaurants in the network. As the number of takeaway restaurants in a location increases,the demand to be at the top of the search results also generally increases and results in greaterpotential revenue to JUST EAT from the top-placement service.

(D) Other revenue

Other revenue primarily consists of revenue from the sale of merchandise to takeaway restaurants inthe network, including JUST EAT branded merchandise and menus. Other revenue amounted to£1.2 million, £0.5 million and £1.0 million for the years ended 31 December 2013, 2012 and 2011,respectively. The increase in other revenue for the year ended 31 December 2013 compared to 2012was mainly due to an increase in UK merchandise sales and a decrease in promotional discountsgiven to consumers in the Netherlands. The decrease in other revenue for the year ended31 December 2012 compared to 2011 was due to increased promotional discounts given to consumersin Benelux and Spain, as part of the Company’s strategy to increase order numbers in those countries.

4.1.2 Revenue by operating segment

JUST EAT has three operating segments: the UK, Denmark and Other, which includes operations inBrazil, Canada, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands, as well as theJust Delivery business in Denmark, which provides a delivery service for takeaway restaurants that donot operate an in-house delivery service. Prior to 14 November 2013, the Other segment also includedIndia. Switzerland and the Netherlands have been included in the Other segment since becoming fullsubsidiaries in January 2013 and January 2012, respectively. The UK, Denmark and Other segmentsgenerated 71.1%, 11.9% and 16.8% of JUST EAT’s revenue, respectively, for the year ended31 December 2013.

The following table presents a breakdown of revenue by operating segment for the periods indicated,after adjusting for intersegment sales, which reflect the sale of JCTs from the UK to Denmark and otheroperations.

(A) UK revenue

UK revenue increased by 67.4% to £68.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2013 compared to£41.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2012. UK revenue for the year ended 31 December2012 increased by 92.1% compared to £21.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2011. Growth inrevenue during the periods under review was primarily due to the increase in the number of orders as aresult of increases in the number of takeaway restaurants and consumers transacting through JUSTEAT, as well as higher average revenue per order, which led to higher commission revenue. Averagerevenue per order was £2.09, £2.04 and £1.94 for the years ended 31 December 2013, 2012 and2011, respectively. During the periods under review, JUST EAT’s orders in the UK increased to 29.1million for the year ended 31 December 2013 compared to 17.1 million for 2012 and 9.0 million for2011. UK revenue also increased as a result of the increase in the percentage of orders made viapayment cards, which resulted in higher payment card fee revenue. In addition, the increased numberof takeaway restaurants generated higher connection fee and top-placement fee revenues for JUSTEAT.

(B) Denmark revenue

Revenue in Denmark (which does not include revenue from the Just Delivery business) increased by15.8% to £11.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2013 compared to £10.0 million for the yearended 31 December 2012. This increase in revenue was primarily due to the commission rate increase(which was introduced for new restaurants in 2012 and applied to all restaurants in the autumn of2013), an 8% increase in the number of orders, a 6% increase in the average order value and a 31%increase in top-placement revenue. Revenue in Denmark for the year ended 31 December 2012increased by 12.9% compared to £8.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2011, predominantlydue to an increase in the number of orders and the introduction of higher commission rates for newrestaurants during 2012. During the periods under review, JUST EAT’s orders in Denmark increased to4.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2013 compared to 3.8 million for 2012 and 3.5 million for2011. Growth in revenue in Denmark was slower than growth in the UK, due to the greater maturity ofthe online takeaway food market in Denmark and the Company’s established market share.

(C) Other revenue

Other revenue relates to overseas operations that are principally in the early stages of development.Other revenue increased by 87.0% to £16.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2013 compared to£8.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2012. The increase in revenue was primarily due to a£6.2 million increase in commission revenue together with a £0.5 million increase in payment card feerevenue and a decrease in promotional discounts. The growth in commission revenue reflected a 60%increase in the number of orders and a 10% increase in the average revenue per order. Other revenuefor the year ended 31 December 2012 increased by 145.6% to £8.7 million compared to £3.5 million forthe year ended 31 December 2011, primarily due to an increase in the number of orders resulting froman increase in the number of takeaway restaurants and consumers during this period. During theperiods under review, JUST EAT’s orders in the Other segment increased to 6.9 million for the yearended 31 December 2013 compared to 4.3 million for 2012 and 1.4 million for 2011. Revenue alsoincreased by £1.7 million as a result of Switzerland being fully consolidated for the year ended 31December 2013, and by £1.7 million as a result of the Netherlands business being fully consolidatedfor the year ended 31 December 2012.

4.2 Cost of sales

As the Company’s business has grown, these costs have increased by 97.3% forthe year ended 31 December 2013 compared to 2012 and 60.4% for the year ended 31 December2012 compared to 2011. Gross profit margins for JUST EAT remained stable over the periods underreview, at 89.7%, 91.5% and 90.7% for the years ended 31 December 2013, 2012 and 2011,respectively.

4.3.1 Other administrative expenses

Other administrative expenses, which form the largest component of administrative expenses, consistof salaries, marketing, depreciation and amortisation and other costs. Other administrative expensesrepresented 79.9%, 91.5% and 93.1% of revenue for the years ended 31 December 2013, 2012 and2011, respectively.

The largest component of other administrative expenses is salaries, which consist of salaries and otherstaff related costs. Salary costs represented 39.2%, 42.6% and 47.4% of revenue for the years ended31 December 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. During the periods under review, salaries increased,predominantly due to the expansion of the UK business and the related increase in full-time employeesof the Company. JUST EAT had 886, 712 and 384 average full time equivalent employees for theyears ended 31 December 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Marketing costs are comprised of digital marketing costs relating to PPC (SEM) marketing on Googleand offline marketing costs including brand marketing, trade marketing and certain in-house marketingpersonnel. Marketing costs represented 24.2%, 25.6% and 23.1% of revenue for the years ended31 December 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. During the periods under review, marketing costshave increased due to the Company’s decision to invest in the JUST EAT brand both in the UK and inJUST EAT’s overseas operations. The increase in marketing costs for the year ended 31 December2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to increased expenditure on PPC marketing and anincrease in television advertising. In addition, there was an increase in marketing expenditure in keycities, such as in London, where there were London Underground and taxi campaigns.

The increase in other costs for the year ended31 December 2013 compared to 2012 was due to growth in the Group’s operations and the number ofemployees, although other costs decreased as a proportion of revenue as a result of greatereconomies of scale. The increase in other costs for the year ended 31 December 2012 compared to2011 was primarily due to growth in the Company’s operations and the number of employees.

The impairment charges of £7.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2012 represented the write-offof the goodwill and intangible assets amounting to £7.2 million that had been recognised when thebusiness in the Netherlands became a subsidiary, as well as impairment charges relating to AchindraOnline in India amounting to £0.1 million. The decision to write off the Dutch assets was based on thatbusiness not having achieved a significant competitive position in its market, such that JUST EAT’sstrategic and financial plans for this business did not follow the same profile as other businesses in theCompany.

The £0.8 million release of contingent consideration for the year ended 31 December 2013 relates to aprovision that was established on the acquisition of the Group’s stake in its French joint venture.

The Group also completed the acquisition of Meal 2 Order.com Limited in February 2014. Meal 2Order.com Limited has an EPOS technology specifically designed for the takeaway restaurant industrywhich, when implemented, would enable restaurant owners to better organise their day-to-dayoperations and determine business priorities by providing a better view of their customers’ orderinghabits.

1. General information

JUST EAT plc (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) operate the world’s largest onlinemarketplace for restaurant delivery. Information on the Group’s structure is provided in note 17. TheCompany is incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom. The address of its registered office isMasters House, 107 Hammersmith Road, London W14 0QH. The historical financial information (the“financial information”) presented is as at and for the years ended 31 December 2013, 31 December2012 and 31 December 2011.

2. Basis of preparation

The financial information has been prepared in accordance with International Financial ReportingStandards (“IFRS”) and International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee interpretations asendorsed by the European Union, and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable tocompanies reporting under IFRS, and therefore comply with Article 4 of the EU IAS Regulation andIFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

The financial information has been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financialinstruments which have been measured at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are setout below. These polices have been consistently applied to all years presented.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of consolidation

The financial information represents the consolidated financial information of the Company and entitiescontrolled by the Company (its subsidiaries) made up to 31 December each year.

Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvementwith the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has i) power over an investee; ii)exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and iii) the ability to useits power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns.

When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Groupconsiders all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee,including i) the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee; ii) rights arisingfrom other contractual arrangements; and iii) the Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate thatthere are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary beginswhen the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of thesubsidiary.

Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year areincluded in the consolidated income statement from the date the Group gains control until the date theGroup ceases to control the subsidiary.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring theaccounting policies used into line with those used by the Group. All intra-group transactions, balances,income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group’s equity therein. Theinterests of non-controlling shareholders may be initially measured at fair value or at the non-controllinginterests’ proportionate share of the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice ofmeasurement is made on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. Subsequent to acquisition, the carryingamount of non-controlling interests is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interests’ share of subsequent changes in equity. Total comprehensive income is attributedto non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Changes in the Group’s interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted foras equity transactions. The carrying amount of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests

are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference betweenthe amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the considerationpaid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, it derecognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests and the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity. It further recognisesthe fair values of the consideration received and any investment retained, with any surplus or deficitbeing recognised in profit or loss.

Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary areaccounted for (i.e., reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings) in the samemanner as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities are disposed of. The fair value of anyinvestment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fairvalue on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognitionand Measurement’ or, when applicable, the costs on initial recognition of an investment in an associateor jointly controlled entity.

Going concern

The financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Groupwill continue to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future. At the date ofapproving the financial information, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances that could lead tothe Group being unable to settle commitments as they fall due during the twelve months from date ofsigning.

At 31 December 2013, the Group had net current assets of £28.0 million, cash of £61.6 million andgenerated cash inflows from operating activities of £19.2 million in the year ended 31 December 2013.Note 39 describes the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for managing its exposure to creditrisk and liquidity risk.

New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted

The Group applied, for the first time, certain standards, amendments to existing standards andinterpretations for the year ended 31 December 2013. The nature and the impact of these are outlinedbelow.

IFRS 10 ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’ (“IFRS 10”) and IAS 27 (2011) ‘Separate FinancialStatements’ (“IAS 27”)

IFRS 10 establishes a single control model that applies to all entities including special purpose entities.IFRS 10 replaces the parts of previously existing IAS 27 ‘Consolidated and Separate FinancialStatements’ that dealt with consolidated financial statements and Standard Interpretations CommitteeInterpretation (“SIC”)-12 ‘Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities’. IFRS 10 changes the definition ofcontrol such that an investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returnsfrom its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power overthe investee. To meet the definition of control in IFRS 10, all three criteria must be met, including:

i) an investor has power over an investee;

ii) the investor has exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee;and

iii) the investor has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of theinvestor’s returns.

The adoption of IFRS 10 had no impact on the consolidation of investments held by the Group.

IFRS 11 ‘Joint Arrangements’ (“IFRS 11”) and IAS 28 (2011) ‘Investment in Associates and JointVentures’ (“IAS 28”)

IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 ‘Interests in Joint Ventures’ and SIC-13 ‘Jointly-controlled Entities — Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers’. The provisions of IFRS 11 include the removal of the option toaccount for jointly controlled entities using proportionate consolidation. Instead, jointly controlledentities that meet the definition of a joint venture under IFRS 11 must be accounted for using the equitymethod.

84

Page 91: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

The adoption of IFRS 11 resulted in Eat.ch GmbH (“Eat.ch”) being reclassified to an associate inaccordance with IAS 28 as it did not satisfy the provisions of IFRS 11 to be classified as a jointarrangement. This reclassification is applicable from its initial acquisition in March 2011 up to31 December 2012. The reclassification did not have any effect on the reported financial performanceand financial position of the Group for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011 as the Grouppreviously accounted for its investment in Eat.ch under the equity method of accounting in accordancewith IAS 31 ‘Interests in Joint Ventures’. In January 2013 the Group gained control of Eat.ch, fromwhich time it was fully consolidated.

IFRS 12 ‘Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities’ (“IFRS 12”)

IFRS 12 sets out the requirements for disclosures relating to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, jointarrangements, associates and structured entities. The requirements in IFRS 12 are morecomprehensive than the previously existing disclosure requirements for subsidiaries (i.e., where asubsidiary is controlled with less than a majority of voting rights). The Group does not have anymaterial non-controlling interests. It does not have any unconsolidated structured entities. IFRS 12disclosures are provided in notes 17 and 32.

IFRS 13 ‘Fair Value Measurement’ (“IFRS 13”)

IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under IFRS for all fair value measurements. IFRS 13does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how tomeasure fair value under IFRS when fair value is required or permitted. The application of IFRS 13 hasnot materially impacted the fair value measurements carried out by the Group.

IFRS 13 also requires specific disclosures on fair values, some of which replace existing disclosurerequirements in other standards, including IFRS 7 ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosures’. The Groupprovides the IFRS 13 disclosures in note 39.

IAS 1 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ — Items of other comprehensive income(Amendment) (“IAS 1”)

The amendments to IAS 1 introduce a grouping of items presented in other comprehensive income.Items that could be reclassified (or recycled) to profit or loss at a future point in time now have to bepresented separately from items that will never be reclassified.

The amendment affected presentation only and had no impact on the Group’s financial position orperformance.

IAS 36 ‘Impairment of Assets’ — Recoverable amount disclosures for non-financial assets(Amendments) (“IAS 36”)

These amendments remove the unintended consequences of IFRS 13 on the disclosures requiredunder IAS 36. In addition, these amendments require disclosure of the recoverable amounts for theassets or CGUs for which impairment loss has been recognised or reversed during the period.

These amendments are effective retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January2014 with earlier application permitted, provided IFRS 13 is also applied. The Group has early adoptedthese amendments to IAS 36 in the current period.

The amendment affected presentation only and had no impact on the Group’s financial position orperformance presented in this financial information.

Early adoption

The new standards IFRS10, IFRS11, IFRS 12, IAS 27 and IAS 28 are effective for financial periodsbeginning on or after 1 January 2013. These standards have been endorsed by the EU for financialperiods beginning on or after 1 January 2014 with early adoption being permitted. The Group has earlyadopted these standards and amendments. Other new standards and amendments to standards alsoapply for the first time in 2013. However, they do not impact the financial information of the Group andhave therefore not been disclosed.

85

Page 92: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

The following new standards and amendments to existing standards are in issue, but have not beenearly adopted by the Group as they are still subject to EU endorsement:

• Amendments to IFRS 10 ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’, IFRS 12 ‘Disclosure ofInterests in Other Entities’ and IAS 27 (2011) ‘Separate Financial Statements’ onconsolidation for investment entities (effective 1 January 2014); and

• IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ (effective 1 January 2015).

The Directors do not expect that the adoption of the standards listed above will have a material impacton the financial information of the Group in future periods.

Business combinations and goodwill

Businesses combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration for eachacquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values (at the date of exchange) of assets given,liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control ofthe acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controllinginterests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable netassets. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred and included within otheradministrative expenses.

Where applicable, the consideration for the acquisition includes any asset or liability resulting from acontingent consideration arrangement, measured at its acquisition-date fair value. Contingentconsideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and within the scope of IAS39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’, is measured at fair value with changes infair value recognised either in profit or loss or as a change to Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). Ifthe contingent consideration is not within the scope of IAS 39, it is measured in accordance with theappropriate IFRS. Subsequent changes in such fair values are adjusted against the cost of acquisitionwhere they qualify as measurement period adjustments (see below).

Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously-held interests in theacquired entity are remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e., the date the Group attainscontrol) and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising frominterests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in othercomprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss, where such treatment would be appropriate ifthat interest were disposed of.

The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions forrecognition under IFRS 3 (2008) ‘Business Combinations’ (“IFRS 3”) are recognised at their fair valueat the acquisition date, except for certain items which are measured in accordance with the relevantIFRSs.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period inwhich the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which theaccounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period(see below), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained aboutfacts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected theamounts recognised as of that date.

The measurement period is the period from the date of acquisition to the date the Group obtainscomplete information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, and issubject to a maximum of one year.

Goodwill arising in a business combination is recognised as an asset at the date that control isacquired (the acquisition date). Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the considerationtransferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of theacquirer’s previously held equity interest (if any) in the entity over the net of the acquisition-dateamounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assetsexceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in theacquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any), theexcess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

Goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment at least annually. For the purpose ofimpairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units expected tobenefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has beenallocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that theunit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carryingamount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwillallocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carryingamount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in asubsequent period.

On disposal of a subsidiary, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of theprofit or loss on disposal. The Group’s policy for goodwill arising on the acquisition of an associate isdescribed above.

Investments in associates and joint ventures

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is thepower to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control orjoint control over those policies.

A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of thearrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreedsharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activitiesrequire unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

The considerations made in determining significant influence or joint control are similar to thosenecessary to determine control over subsidiaries.

The Group has investments in associates and jointly controlled entities and recognises its interestsusing the equity method.

Under the equity method, the investment in an associate or a joint venture is initially recognised atcost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the Group’s share ofnet assets of the associate or joint venture since the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to the associateor joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised norindividually tested for impairment.

The consolidated income statement reflects the Group’s share of the results of operations of theassociate or joint venture. Any change in OCI of those investees is presented as part of the Group’sOCI. In addition, when there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate orjoint venture, the Group recognises its share of any changes, when applicable, in the statement ofchanges in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and theassociate or joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate or joint venture.

The aggregate of the Group’s share of profit or loss of an associate and a joint venture is shown on theface of the consolidated income statement outside operating profit or loss and represents profit or lossafter tax and non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries of the associate or joint venture.

Upon loss of significant influence over the associate or joint control over the joint venture, the Groupmeasures and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carryingamount of the associate or joint venture upon loss of significant influence or joint control and the fairvalue of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss.

Aggregate amounts of current and long-term assets and liabilities, income and expenses are disclosedin note 18 and 19. Where applicable, the aggregate amount of capital commitments and contingentliabilities are also disclosed.

Fair value measurement

The Group measures certain financial instruments, such as deferred contingent consideration, at fairvalue at each balance sheet date.

87

Page 94: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

The Directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded atamortised cost in the financial information approximate their fair values. The fair values of financialinstruments measured at amortised cost are disclosed in note 39.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements arecategorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that issignificant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuemeasurement is directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuemeasurement is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognised at fair value in the financial statements on a recurringbasis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuemeasurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

The Group presents the valuation results to the audit committee and the Group’s independent auditors.This includes a discussion of the major assumptions used in the valuations.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities onthe basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair valuehierarchy as explained above.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is derived from commission, JustConnect Terminal (“JCT”) box equipment fee, connectionfees, payment card fees and top-placement fees.

Commission revenue, earned from restaurants, is earned and recognised at the point of orderfulfilment to the restaurant’s customers. Commission is measured at the fair value of the considerationreceived or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in thenormal course of business, net of discounts, VAT and other sales-related taxes.

JCTs are order confirmation terminals situated at restaurant sites for the purposes of communicatingbetween end user customers and restaurants via the central JUST EAT ordering infrastructure. JCTequipment fees are deferred to the balance sheet and recognised on a straight line basis over 36months. This is considered to be an appropriate time period as the fair value of the considerationreceived or receivable for the JCT.

The JCT connection fee revenue is payable on connection but deferred and recognised on a straightline basis over 12 months. The connection fees are non-refundable.

Revenue from payment card fees is recognised when the service is completed, in line with the revenuerecognised on commissions. This is the point at which an order is successfully processed and theGroup has no remaining transactional obligations.

Revenue from top-placement fees is recognised over the period in which the service is rendered.

Leasing

The Group as lessee

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to income on a straight-line basis over the term ofthe relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the timepattern in which economic benefits from the lease asset are consumed. Contingent rentals arisingunder operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

88

Page 95: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives arerecognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rentalexpense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of thetime pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all therisks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Foreign currencies

The financial information of each group company is presented in the currency of the primary economicenvironment in which it operates (its functional currency). For the purpose of the consolidated financialinformation, the results and financial position of each group company are expressed in Pound Sterling,which is the functional currency of the Company, and the presentation currency for the consolidatedfinancial information.

In preparing the financial statements of the individual companies, transactions in currencies other thanthe entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailingon the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities that aredenominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetaryitems carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the ratesprevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured interms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial information, the monetary assets and liabilities ofthe Group’s foreign operations are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date.Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unlessexchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dateof transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensiveincome and accumulated in equity (attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate).

On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e., a disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a foreignoperation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation,loss of joint control over a jointly controlled entity that includes a foreign operation, or loss of significantinfluence over an associate that includes a foreign operation), all of the accumulated exchangedifferences in respect of that operation attributable to the Group are reclassified to profit or loss.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assetsand liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.

Operating profit or loss

Operating profit or loss is stated after charging for long-term employee incentive provisions,exceptional items and foreign exchange gains or losses but before other gains and losses, financeincome and finance costs.

Exceptional items

Exceptional items are items that, by virtue of their nature and incidence, have been disclosedseparately in order to draw them to the attention of the reader of the financial information.

Retirement benefit costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they falldue.

Taxation

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

89

Page 96: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit asreported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable ordeductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. TheGroup’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantivelyenacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carryingamounts of assets and liabilities in the financial information and the corresponding tax bases used inthe computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method.Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred taxassets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against whichdeductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if thetemporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or from the initial recognition (otherthan in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither thetaxable profit nor the accounting profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporarydifferences arising on investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, exceptwhere the group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that thetemporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to theextent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part ofthe asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability issettled or the asset is realised based on tax laws and rates that have been enacted at the balancesheet date. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to itemscharged or credited in other comprehensive income, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with inother comprehensive income.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off currenttax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the sametaxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Intangible assets

The Group has four classes of intangible asset: patents, licences and intellectual property (“IP”),restaurant lists, brands and development costs.

Patents, licences and IP

Patents, licences and IP are included at cost and amortised in equal annual instalments over theiruseful economic life, which is typically three to five years depending on the period over which benefitsare expected to be realised from the asset. Provision is made for any impairment.

Restaurant lists

A restaurant list intangible asset is recorded as part of the acquisition accounting for businesscombinations or when an associate is acquired or joint venture established. They are initially recordedat fair value and amortised on a straight line basis over the useful economic life of the asset. Thisperiod of time is the period over which the acquired restaurant list is reasonably expected to confereconomic benefits to the Group, which is usually between four and ten years. The fair values ofrestaurant lists are determined with reference to the present value of their after tax cash flowsprojected over their remaining useful lives. Cash flows and discount rates used in the value-in-usecalculation are risk adjusted to the extent deemed necessary by management to accurately reflect localrisks and uncertainties associated with the asset.

90

Page 97: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

Brands

A brand intangible asset is recorded as part of the acquisition accounting for business combinations orwhen an associate is acquired or joint venture established. They are initially recorded at fair value andamortised, on a straight line basis over the useful economic life of the asset, which is usually between15 months and four years. This period of time is the period over which the acquired brand isreasonably expected to confer economic benefits to the Group. Fair value of brand assets areestablished using the relief from royalty valuation method. Cash flows and discount rates used in therelief from royalty model are risk adjusted to the extent deemed necessary by management toaccurately reflect local risks and uncertainties associated with the asset.

Research and development

All ongoing research expenditure is expensed in the period in which it is incurred. Where an applicationor product is technically feasible, production and sale are intended, a market exists, expenditure canbe measured reliably, and sufficient resources are available to complete the project, developmentcosts are capitalised and amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of therespective product.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment.Depreciation is provided on all property, plant and equipment, at rates calculated to write off the cost,less estimated residual value, of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life, asfollows:

Fixtures and fittings 33% per annumEquipment 33% per annumLeasehold improvements 20% per annum or the period of the lease if shorter

Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets excluding goodwill

Under IFRS, the Group is required to review for impairment when indicators of impairment exist. Onthese occasions, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment andintangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered animpairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in orderto determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flowsthat are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is tested forimpairment at least annually and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. In assessing value-in-use the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discountrate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to theasset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit, “CGU”) is estimated to be less than itscarrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. Animpairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) isincreased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amountdoes not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss beenrecognised for the asset (or CGU) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognisedimmediately in profit or loss.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct materials.Cost is calculated using the first-in first-out method. Net realisable value represents the estimatedselling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling anddistribution.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Group’s balance sheet when the Groupbecomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets

All financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date where the purchase or sale of afinancial asset is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the financial asset within thetimeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, plustransaction costs, except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss,which are initially measured at fair value.

Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets ‘at fair valuethrough profit or loss’ (“FVTPL”), ‘held-to-maturity’ investments, ‘available-for-sale’ (“AFS”) financialassets and ‘loans and receivables’. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of thefinancial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. The Group historically has held AFSfinancial assets and ‘loans and receivables’.

Available-for-sale financial assets

The Group had investments in unlisted shares that were not traded in an active market but wereclassified as AFS financial assets and stated at fair value (because the Directors considered that fairvalue could be reliably measured). Fair value was determined in the manner described in note 39.Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value were recognised in other comprehensive incomeand accumulated in the AFS reserve with the exception of impairment losses, interest calculated usingthe effective interest method and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets, which wererecognised in other comprehensive income. Where the investment was disposed of or was determinedto be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in the AFS reserve was reclassifiedto profit or loss.

The fair value of AFS monetary assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreigncurrency and translated at the spot rate at the balance sheet date. The foreign exchange gains andlosses that are recognised in profit or loss are determined based on the amortised cost of the monetaryasset. Other foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Loans and receivables

Trade receivables, loans, and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are notquoted in an active market are classified as ‘loans and receivables’. Loans and receivables aremeasured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest incomeis recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when therecognition of interest would be immaterial.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those held at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at eachbalance sheet date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result ofone or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated futurecash flows of the investment have been affected. Evidence of impairment may include indications thata receivable or a group of receivables is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default ordelinquency in payment, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisationand where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cashflows.

When an AFS financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previouslyrecognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from theasset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of

92

Page 99: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all therisks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises itsretained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Groupretains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Groupcontinues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for theproceeds received.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities ‘at FVTPL’ or ‘other financial liabilities’.The Group currently does not hold any financial liabilities ‘at FVTPL’.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transactioncosts.

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interestmethod, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and ofallocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactlydiscounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, whereappropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations aredischarged, cancelled or they expire.

Share-based payments

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services aremeasured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value excludes the effectof non-market-based vesting conditions. Details regarding the determination of the fair value of equity-settled share-based transactions are set out in note 37.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed ona straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments thatwill eventually vest. At each balance sheet date, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equityinstruments expected to vest as a result of the effect of non-market-based vesting conditions. Theimpact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that thecumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the share basedpayment reserve.

4 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 3, the Directors arerequired to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets andliabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptionsare based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual resultsmay differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accountingestimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only thatperiod, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and futureperiods. The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty atthe balance sheet date used in preparing these accounts are:

Acquired intangible assets

An intangible resource acquired with a subsidiary undertaking is recognised as an intangible asset if itis separable from the acquired business or arises from contractual or legal rights, is expected togenerate future economic benefits and its fair value can be measured reliably. Acquired intangible

93

Page 100: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

assets, comprising brands and restaurant lists, are amortised through the consolidated incomestatement on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives of between 15 months and tenyears. Significant judgement is required in determining the fair value and economic lives of acquiredintangible assets.

Share-based payments

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fairvalue of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which isdependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. Judgements are applied in relation to estimationsof the number of options that will vest and of the fair value of the options granted to employees.Estimates of fair value are made using a widely recognised share option value model and are referredto third party experts where necessary. Judgement is applied in determining the assumptions input intothe share option value model.

Impairment of assets

Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, whichis the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value-in-use. Determining whether an assetis impaired requires an estimation of the value-in-use of the cash-generating units to which the assethas been allocated. The value-in-use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model. The cashflows are derived from the budget for the next three years and do not include restructuring activitiesthat the Group is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset’sperformance of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate usedfor the discounted cash flow model as well as the expected future cash inflows and the growth rateused for extrapolation purposes. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount forthe different CGUs, including a sensitivity analysis, are disclosed and further explained in note 14.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is partly derived from JCT equipment fees and connection fees charged to restaurants. JCTsare order confirmation terminals situated at restaurant sites for the purposes of communicatingbetween end user customers and restaurants via the central JUST EAT ordering infrastructure.

JCT equipment fee is deferred to the balance sheet and recognised on a straight line basis over36 months. This is considered to be an appropriate time period as the fair value of the considerationreceived or receivable for the JCT. Judgement is applied in determining the period over which the JCTequipment fee revenue is recognised.

The JCT connection fee revenue is payable on connection but deferred and recognised on a straightline basis over 12 months. The connection fees are non-refundable and 12 months is considered to bethe required period of service. Judgement is applied in determining the period over which theconnection and installation fee is earned.

Deferred taxation

The recognition of deferred tax assets is based upon whether it is more likely than not that sufficientand suitable taxable profits will be available in the future against which the reversal of temporarydifferences can be deducted. To determine the future taxable profits, reference is made to the latestavailable profit forecasts. Where the temporary differences are related to losses, relevant tax law isconsidered to determine the availability of the losses to offset against the future taxable profits.Recognition of deferred tax assets therefore involves judgement regarding the future financialperformance of the particular legal entity or tax group in which the deferred tax asset has beenrecognised.

5. Operating segments

The Group has three reportable segments: United Kingdom; Denmark (core business); and Other.Each segment includes businesses with similar operating and marketing characteristics. SegmentUnderlying EBITDA is the main measure of profit used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker(“CODM”) to assess and manage performance. The CODM is David Buttress, the Group’s ChiefExecutive Officer. “Underlying EBITDA” is defined as earnings before finance income and costs,taxation, depreciation and amortisation (“EBITDA”) and additionally excludes the Group’s share ofdepreciation and amortisation of joint ventures and associates, long term employee incentive costs,‘other gains and losses’ (being profits or losses on the disposal of operations), exceptional items andforeign exchange gains and losses. At a segmental level, Underlying EBITDA also excludes intra-group franchise fee arrangements and incorporates an allocation of Group technology and othercentral costs (both of which net out on a consolidated level).

13. Earnings/(loss) per share

Basic earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing the profit/(loss) for the year attributable to theshareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares, B OrdinaryShares, Preference A Shares, Preference B Shares and Preference C Shares outstanding during theyear. The B Ordinary Shares have a right to share in profits which is different from the rights held by allother classes of shares (“Ordinary and Preference shares”), and earnings/(loss) per share willtherefore be calculated separately for B Ordinary Shares.

Diluted earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of Ordinaryand Preference Shares outstanding to assume conversion of all potentially dilutive shares. The Grouphas potentially dilutive shares in the form of share options, warrants and shares held pursuant to theGroup’s JSOP.

There was no difference in the weighted average number of shares used for basic and diluted loss pershare for both the years ended 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2011, as the effect of allpotentially dilutive shares outstanding was anti-dilutive due to the Group making a loss.

The Group tests goodwill annually for impairment or more frequently if there are indications thatgoodwill might be impaired.

The recoverable amounts of the CGUs are determined from value-in-use calculations. The keyassumptions used in the value-in-use calculations are the discount rate and the Underlying EBITDAgrowth rate (which is a function of expected changes in selling prices and costs, together with otherfactors). Management uses pre-tax discount rates that reflect current market assessments of the timevalue of money and the risks specific to the particular CGU. The Underlying EBITDA growth rates arebased on past experience and management’s future expectations. Changes in selling prices and directcosts are based on recent results and expectations of future changes in the market. It is anticipatedthat sales volumes will grow in all jurisdictions over the forthcoming years.

The Group prepares cash flow forecasts derived from the most recent financial budgets approved bythe Board, which are currently for three years. Management expects that some markets will enjoy aperiod of sustained high growth continuing from the end of the current budgetary cycle to maturity (themedium term). During this period each CGU will continue to acquire new customers and increase orderactivity above and beyond the long term growth rate applicable to each market. Management expectsthat all CGUs will reach maturity after a period in excess of five years and therefore considers itappropriate for the forecasts to extend beyond a five year period. A suitable medium term growth rate,based on previous experience of growth rates has been applied individually to reflect each CGU’sactivity in this period. After this a long term growth rate is applied.

The pre-tax rates used to discount the forecast cash flows were in the range of 7.8% to 14.8% for allgeographies except Brazil which was 22.7% (2012: 11.9% to 15.8%). The long term growth rates usedin the forecast cash flows were in the range of 1.4% to 2.1% (2012: 2.1% to 3.6%).

Impairment charges

Year ended 31 December 2013

An impairment charge of £0.3 million has been charged to the income statement in respect of theBrazilian CGU. As a result of the worsening economic environment in South America and the CGU’srecent trading performance management now believes that the route to profitability of our Brazilianbusiness is longer than previously expected. This, combined with an increase in the discount rate, from15.4% to 22.7%, has led to a downward revision of the recoverable amount of the Brazilian CGU.

At the end of the financial year the fair value of goodwill was in excess of its book value for all otherCGUs.

Just-Eat Benelux BV

£7.2 million of the impairment charge, for the year ended 31 December 2012, relates to the write-down,to their recoverable amounts, of the goodwill and other intangible assets of the Group’s Dutchbusiness. This is the one market in which the Group operates where the business is significantlysmaller than its competitor. As such, the Group’s strategic plans and route to profitability for thisbusiness do not follow the same profile as the other businesses in the Group. As a result of this, theGroup does not expect the Dutch business to be profitable in the foreseeable future. Given this, therecoverable amounts of the Dutch intangible assets have been determined to be nil.

In calculating the impairment in respect of the Group’s Dutch business both the value-in-use and fairvalue less cost to sell of the CGU (being the Dutch business) were determined to be nil. A pre-taxdiscount rate of 11.9% was used in calculating the value-in-use.

Achindra Online Marketing Private Limited (“justeat.in”)

The carrying value of the goodwill in respect of justeat.in was £0.1 million. The Directors havedetermined that its recoverable amount was nil and as a result an impairment charge of £0.1 millionwas recorded in the income statement for the year ended 31 December 2012.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group has conducted a sensitivity analysis on the impairment test for each CGU. This includedreducing the future cash flows and increasing discount rates. With the exception of Brazil, as at 31December 2013, no reasonably expected change in the key assumptions used in the value-in-usecalculations would give rise to an impairment charge. Regarding Brazil, the impairment recognised inthe 2013 financial statements represents the excess of the previous carrying value over therecoverable amount. Accordingly, any changes in key assumptions which reduced the recoverableamount further would increase the impairment loss.

The changes to the key assumptions used in the Brazilian value-in-use calculation, set out in the tablebelow, would in isolation lead to an increase or (decrease) of the impairment loss as follows:

Eat.ch GmbH

On 22 March 2011, the Group acquired a 33% stake in Eat.ch GmbH (“Eat.ch”), which rose to 50% inSeptember 2011. Eat.ch is an entity incorporated and operating in Switzerland.

The Group’s investment in Eat.ch for the period since its initial investment up to 31 December 2012had been accounted for as an investment in a joint venture in accordance with the provisions of IAS 31‘Interests in Joint Ventures’. During the year ended 31 December 2013, the Group adopted IFRS 11,which contain provisions under which the Group’s investment in Eat.ch does not qualify as a jointarrangement. The Group’s investment has therefore been reassessed, and for the period since theinitial investment up to 31 December 2012 is now accounted for as an investment in an associateunder the equity method of accounting, in accordance with the provisions of IAS 28.

This reclassification did not have any impact on the results or financial position of the Group for theyears ended 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2011, due to equity accounting being applied underboth classifications.

In January 2013, a Group company acquired, through the conversion of loans to equity, an additional13% of the ordinary share capital of Eat.ch, bringing the Group’s holding in Eat.ch to 63% (see note33). The Group obtained control of Eat.ch and as a result the acquisition has been accounted for as abusiness combination in accordance with IFRS 3. As control of Eat.ch has been achieved in stages theprovisions of IFRS 3 relating to step-acquisitions have been applied.

The Budget 2012 introduced a reduction in the main rate of corporation tax from 25% to 23% witheffect from 1 April 2013. This legislation was substantively enacted on 3 July 2012 and as such, inaccordance with IFRS the rate of 23% is used for the calculation of the deferred tax position at31 December 2012 on the basis that it will materially reverse after 1 April 2013.

The Budget 2013, issued on 20 March 2013, announced that the main rate of corporation tax would bereduced to 21% from 1 April 2014 and to 20% with effect from 1 April 2015. These future ratereductions were substantively enacted on 2 July 2013, and have therefore been reflected in thesefinancial statements in accordance with IFRS. A rate of 21% has been used in order to calculatedeferred tax on the basis that it is expected that the majority of the deferred tax assets will unwind inthe year ended 31 December 2014.

See note 37 for more information on the six tranches of the JSOP that have yet tobe allocated.

Merger reserve

In July 2009 a group reconstruction was undertaken. Under this reconstruction ordinary shares wereissued and cancelled and Preference A shares were issued. This was treated as a common controltransaction under IFRS as the ultimate shareholders and their relative rights were the same before andafterwards. This reserve represents the difference between the nominal value of the shares issued andthe nominal value of the shares on the group reorganisation in July 2009. The balance of this accounthas not changed and remains at £1.9 million as at 31 December 2013.

justeat.in

In January 2011 the Group acquired a 33% shareholding in justeat.in. This rose to 67% in line withplanned injections of capital into the business by the Group throughout 2011. The substance of theoriginal investment transaction in January 2011 conferred control to the Group; subsequent injectionsof capital were therefore accounted for wholly within equity in accordance with IFRS 3 (2008) ‘BusinessCombinations’.

During 2012 the Group increased its holding in justeat.in, to 84%, through a combination of a numberof capital injections and the buy-out of a number of the minority shareholders.

The Group’s shareholding in justeat.in had increased from 84% to 91% over the course of 2013 via aseries of capital injections. In November 2013, the Group relinquished control of justeat.in, followinginvestment injections from Axon Partners Group and Forum Synergies India. The Group’s shareholdingreduced to 59% and its voting rights and economic interests decreased to 49.9%. As a result, justeat.inis now accounted for as an investment in an associate under the equity method of accounting, inaccordance with the provision of IAS 28.

The Group’s sensitivity to fluctuations in foreign currencies is the result of increased activity in theforeign owned subsidiaries which has led to a significant increase in foreign currency denominatedtrade payables and trade receivables.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates at thebalance sheet date. For assets and floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming theamount of asset/liability outstanding at the balance sheet date was outstanding for the whole year. A10% increase or decrease in the interest rate is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to keymanagement personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible changein interest rates.

If interest rates had been 10% higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s:

• profit for the year ended 31 December 2013 would increase/decrease by £16,000 (2012:£20,000; 2011: £9,000); and

• there would have been no effect on amounts recognised directly in equity.

Other price risks

The Group is exposed to equity price risks arising from equity investments. Equity investments are heldfor strategic rather than trading purposes. The Group does not actively trade these investments.

Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting infinancial loss to the Group. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its major counterparties arecontinuously monitored.

Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers, spread across geographical areas.On-going credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of accounts receivable and, whereappropriate, credit guarantee insurance cover is purchased.

The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial information, which are stated net ofimpairment losses, represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk as no collateral or othercredit enhancements are held.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratingsassigned by international credit-rating agencies.

Liquidity risk management

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board, which has established anappropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group’s short, mediumand long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk bymaintaining adequate cash reserves, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, andby matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Liquidity and interest risk tables

The following tables detail the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financialliabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscountedcash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay.The table includes both interest and principal cash flows. To the extent that interest flows are floatingrate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate curves at the balance sheet date. Thecontractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the Group may be required to pay.

Significant assumptions used in determining fair value of financial assets

The consolidated balance sheet includes holdings in unlisted shares which are measured at fair value(note 20). Fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow model due to the absence ofobservable market prices. However, in 2012, the valuation was based on a third party offer price andsubsequent sale price of the investment.

In determining the fair value in the prior year, an earnings growth factor of 3.8% and a cash flow riskadjustment factor of 2% are used. Cash flows were discounted at 12.74%. If the discount rate used inthe model was increased by 10% to 14.01% while all the other variables were held constant, theestimated fair value of the shares would decrease by £44,000.

Part XV

TAXATION

1. UK TAXATION

The following paragraphs are intended as a general guide only and are based on current law and HMRevenue and Customs practice (which is subject to change and possibly with retrospective effect) asat the date of this document and are not exhaustive. They summarise the position of Shareholders who(unless the position of non-resident Shareholders is expressly referred to) are resident and domiciled inthe United Kingdom for tax purposes, who are the absolute beneficial owners of their Shares and whohold their Shares as an investment. The discussion below addresses UK tax only, and does notaddress all possible tax consequences relating to an investment in shares. Certain Shareholders, suchas dealers in securities, those that are exempt from taxation, employees and officers of the Company(or a connected company), insurance companies, and collective investment vehicles may be taxeddifferently and are not considered.

If you are in any doubt as to your tax position or you are subject to tax in a jurisdiction outside theUnited Kingdom, you should consult an appropriate professional adviser before taking any actions.

1.1 Dividends

Under current law, no United Kingdom tax will be withheld by the Company when it pays a dividend.

A UK resident individual Shareholder who receives a dividend from the Company will be entitled to atax credit, currently at the rate of 1/9th of the cash dividend paid (which is equivalent to 10% of thegross dividend, being the cash dividend received plus the related tax credit). The individual is treatedas receiving for UK tax purposes the gross dividend. The tax credit is then set against the individual’stax liability on the gross dividend.

A UK resident individual Shareholder who is a basic rate taxpayer will be liable to UK income tax onthe receipt of the gross dividend at the rate of 10%. The tax credit will be set against this tax liabilityand as a result, such a shareholder will have no further income tax liability in respect of the dividend.

A UK resident individual Shareholder who is a higher rate taxpayer will be liable to UK income tax onthe gross dividend at the rate of 32.5% to the extent that such gross dividend when treated as the topslice of the Shareholder’s income falls above the threshold for higher rate income tax. After takingaccount of the tax credit, this equates to an effective tax rate of 25% on the cash dividend. Forexample, a cash dividend of £80 will carry a tax credit of £8.89. The UK income tax payable by ahigher rate taxpayer would be 32.5% of £88.89, namely £28.89, less the tax credit of £8.89, leaving anet tax liability of £20.

A UK resident individual Shareholder who is an additional rate taxpayer will be liable to UK income taxon the gross dividend at a rate of 37.5% to the extent that such gross dividend when treated as the topslice of the Shareholder’s income falls above the threshold for additional rate income tax. After takinginto account the tax credit, the effective tax rate is therefore 30.56% of the cash dividend. For examplea cash dividend of £80 will carry a tax credit of 8.89. The UK income tax payable by an additional ratetaxpayer (after 6 April 2013) would be 37.5% of £88.89, namely £33.34 less the tax credit of £8.89,leaving a net tax liability of £24.45.

UK resident Shareholders who are not liable to UK income tax or whose liability to UK income tax onthe dividend and related tax credit is less than the tax credit (including pension funds, charities andcertain individuals) are not entitled to claim repayment of any part of the tax credit associated with thedividend from HM Revenue and Customs.

UK resident corporate Shareholders which are “small companies” (for the purposes of UK taxation ofdividends) will not generally expect to be subject to UK corporation tax on dividends from theCompany. Other UK resident corporate Shareholders will not generally be subject to UK corporationtax on dividends received from the Company as long as the dividends fall within an one of a number ofstatutory exemptions. Examples of dividends that fall within an exemption are dividends paid on sharesthat are ‘ordinary share capital’ for UK tax purposes and are not redeemable and dividends paid to aperson holding less than 10% of the issued share capital of the payer (or any class of that sharecapital) and who is entitled to (i) less than 10% of the profits available for distribution to holders of theissued share capital (or the relevant class of share capital) of the payer and (ii) would be entitled on awinding up to less than 10% of the assets of the Company available for distribution to holders of theissued share capital (or the relevant class of share capital) of the payer.

Non-UK resident individual Shareholders will not generally be subject to UK tax on any dividendsreceived by the Company. Whether a Shareholder who is not resident in the United Kingdom for taxpurposes is entitled to a tax credit in respect of dividends paid by the Company and to claim paymentof any part of the tax credit will depend, in general, on the provisions of any double taxation conventionwhich exists between the Shareholder’s country of residence and the United Kingdom. A non-UKresident Shareholder may also be subject to foreign taxation on dividend income under their local law.

1.2 Taxation of Chargeable Gains

A disposal of Shares by a Shareholder who is resident in the United Kingdom may, subject to theShareholder’s circumstances and any available exemption or relief, give rise to a chargeable gain (orallowable loss) for the purposes of UK taxation of chargeable gains.

For UK resident corporate Shareholders within the charge to UK corporation tax on chargeable gains,indexation allowance should be available to reduce the amount of chargeable gain realised on adisposal of Shares (but not to create or increase any loss). A UK resident individual will, subject to anyexemption or relief, generally be liable to pay UK capital gains tax on any gains above the annualexempt amount at a rate of 18% or 28% depending on the total amount of the individual’s taxableincome. Trustees and personal representatives pay UK capital gains tax at 28%. UK resident individualshareholders who are basic rate taxpayers will, subject to any exemption or relief, be liable to UKcapital gains tax at a rate of 18% on any gains over the annual exempt amount until the combined totalof their income and capital exceeds the higher rate threshold; thereafter, gains are taxed at 28%. UKresident individual Shareholders who are higher or additional rate taxpayers will, subject to anyexemption or relief be liable to UK capital gains tax at a rate of 28% on any gains in excess of theannual exempt amount.

A Shareholder who is not UK resident will not be subject to UK tax on a gain arising on a disposal ofShares unless (i) the Shareholder carries on a trade, profession or vocation in the United Kingdomthrough a branch, agency or permanent establishment and, broadly, holds the Shares for the purposesof the trade, profession, vocation, branch, agency or permanent establishment or (ii) the Shareholderfalls within the anti-avoidance rules applying to individuals who are temporarily not resident orordinarily resident in the United Kingdom.

1.3 Inheritance Tax

The Shares will be assets situated in the UK for the purposes of UK inheritance tax. A gift of suchassets by an individual shareholder, or the death of an individual shareholder, may give rise to aliability to UK inheritance tax depending upon the shareholder’s circumstances and subject to anyavailable exemption or relief. A transfer of Shares at less than market value may be treated forinheritance tax purposes as a gift of the Shares. Special rules apply to close companies, (as to which,see section 1.5 below) and to trustees of certain settlements who hold Shares and such rules maybring them within the charge to inheritance tax. The inheritance tax rules are complex andShareholders should consult an appropriate professional adviser in any case where those rules may berelevant, particularly in (but not limited to) cases where Shareholders intend to make a gift of Shares,to transfer Ordinary Shares at less than market value or to hold Ordinary Shares through a company ortrust arrangement.

1.4 Stamp Duty and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax (“SDRT”)

No UK stamp duty or SDRT will be payable by Shareholders on the allotment, issue or registration ofShares.

Any subsequent conveyance or transfer on sale of Shares will usually be subject to UK stamp duty, atthe rate of 0.5% (rounded up to the nearest multiple of £5) of the amount or value of the considerationpaid. Stamp duty is normally paid by the purchaser. A charge to SDRT at the rate of 0.5% of theamount or value of the consideration paid will arise in relation to an unconditional agreement to transferShares. SDRT is normally a liability of the purchaser. However, if within six years of the date of theagreement (or, if the agreement was conditional, the date on which the agreement becameunconditional) a share transfer is executed pursuant to the agreement and is duly stamped (unlesscertified as exempt), the stamping of the transfer will normally cancel the SDRT liability. Any SDRTalready paid will be refunded.

150

Page 157: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

A transfer of Shares effected on a paperless basis through CREST will generally be subject to SDRT atthe rate of 0.5% of the amount or value of the consideration paid. Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited(Euroclear) will collect SDRT on relevant transactions settled through CREST and will account for theSDRT to HM Revenue and Customs.

There will be no UK stamp duty or SDRT on a transfer of Shares into or out of CREST where such atransfer is made for no consideration.

UK domestic law provides that where Shares are transferred to issuers of depositary receipts orproviders of clearance services (or their nominees or agents) UK stamp duty or SDRT may be payable,broadly, at the higher rate of 1.5% of the amount or value of the consideration payable or, in certaincircumstances, 1.5% of the value of the Shares (rounded up to the nearest multiple of £5 in the case ofstamp duty). Following a decision of the European Court of Justice (in HSBC Holdings plc and VidacosNominees Ltd v HMRC (Case C-569/07)) and the First tier Tribunal in HSBC Holdings plc and theBank of New York Mellon Corporation v HMRC ([2012] UK FTT 163) HM Revenue and Customs hasconfirmed that it will not seek to apply the 1.5% SDRT charge where new shares are issued into an EUor non EU depositary receipt system or clearance system.

Special rules apply to agreements made by market intermediaries and to certain sale and repurchaseand stock borrowing arrangements. Charities are exempt from UK stamp duty and SDRT on theacquisition of shares.

1.5 Close Companies

The Company may, before and after the Offer, be a close company within the meaning of Part 10 ofthe Corporation Tax Act 2010. As a result, certain transactions entered into by the Company or othermembers of the Group may have certain tax implications for shareholders in the Company.Shareholders should consult their own professional advisers on the potential impact of the closecompany rules.

One potential implication is that transfers of value by the Company, or any of the companies in which itowns (directly or indirectly) shares or certain other rights, may, in certain circumstances and subject toapplicable exemptions, be attributed to and so give rise to inheritance tax for individual Shareholderswho are domiciled or deemed to be domiciled in the UK and hold 5% or more of the Ordinary Shares,or for Shareholders whose estate is increased by the transfer.

In addition, certain transfers at an undervalue by the Company or certain members of the Group mayresult in a reduction in the chargeable gains tax base cost of the shares for certain Shareholders.

2. CERTAIN US FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH TREASURY DEPARTMENT CIRCULAR 230, HOLDERS AREHEREBY NOTIFIED THAT (A) ANY DISCUSSION OF US FEDERAL TAX ISSUES IN THISPROSPECTUS IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE RELIED UPON, AND CANNOT BERELIED UPON, BY HOLDERS FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT MAY BEIMPOSED ON HOLDERS UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE; (B) SUCH DISCUSSION ISINCLUDED HEREIN BY THE COMPANY IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROMOTION ORMARKETING (WITHIN THE MEANING OF CIRCULAR 230) BY THE COMPANY OF THETRANSACTIONS OR MATTERS ADDRESSED HEREIN; AND (C) HOLDERS SHOULD SEEKADVICE BASED ON THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAXADVISER.

The following is a summary of certain US federal income tax consequences of the acquisition,ownership and disposition of Offer Shares by a US Holder (as defined below). This summary dealsonly with initial purchasers of Offer Shares that are US Holders and that will hold the Offer Shares ascapital assets. The discussion does not cover all aspects of US federal income taxation that may berelevant to, or the actual tax effect that any of the matters described herein will have on, theacquisition, ownership or disposition of Offer Shares by particular investors, and does not addressstate, local, non-US or other tax laws. This summary also does not address tax considerationsapplicable to investors that own (directly or indirectly) 10% or more of the voting stock of the Company,

151

Page 158: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

nor does this summary discuss all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to certain types ofinvestors subject to special treatment under the US federal income tax laws (such as financialinstitutions, insurance companies, investors liable for the alternative minimum tax or net investmentincome tax, individual retirement accounts and other tax-deferred accounts, tax-exempt organisations,dealers in securities or currencies, investors that will hold the Offer Shares as part of straddles,hedging transactions or conversion transactions for US federal income tax purposes or investorswhose functional currency is not the US dollar).

As used herein, the term “US Holder” means a beneficial owner of Offer Shares that is, for US federalincome tax purposes, (i) an individual citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation createdor organised under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, (iii) an estate the income ofwhich is subject to US federal income tax without regard to its source, or (iv) a trust if a court within theUnited States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one ormore US persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or the trust hasvalidly elected to be treated as a domestic trust for US federal income tax purposes.

The US federal income tax treatment of a partner in an entity treated as a partnership for US federalincome tax purposes that holds Offer Shares will depend on the status of the partner and the activitiesof the partnership. Prospective purchasers that are entities treated as partnerships for US federalincome tax purposes should consult their tax advisers concerning the US federal income taxconsequences to their partners of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Offer Shares by thepartnership.

The summary assumes that the Company will not be a passive foreign investment company (a “PFIC”)for US federal income tax purposes for the current taxable year, which the Company believes will bethe case. The Company’s possible status as a PFIC must be determined annually and therefore maybe subject to change. If the Company were to be a PFIC in any year, materially adverse consequencescould result for US Holders.

This summary is based on the tax laws of the United States, including the Internal Revenue Code of1986, as amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations thereunder, publishedrulings and court decisions, as well as on the income tax treaty between the United States and theUnited Kingdom (the “Treaty”), all as of the date hereof and all subject to change at any time, possiblywith retroactive effect.

THE SUMMARY OF US FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES SET OUT BELOW IS FORGENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. ALL PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIRTAX ADVISERS AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF ACQUIRING,OWNING, AND DISPOSING OF THE OFFER SHARES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY ANDEFFECT OF STATE, LOCAL, NON-US AND OTHER TAX LAWS AND POSSIBLE CHANGES INTAX LAW.

2.1 Dividends

General

Distributions paid by the Company out of current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determinedfor US federal income tax purposes) will generally be taxable to a US Holder as foreign sourcedividend income, and will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations.Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a non-taxablereturn of capital to the extent of the US Holder’s basis in the Offer Shares and thereafter as capitalgain. However, the Company does not maintain calculations of its earnings and profits in accordancewith US federal income tax accounting principles. US Holders should therefore assume that anydistribution by the Company with respect to Offer Shares will be reported as ordinary dividend income.US Holders should consult their own tax advisers with respect to the appropriate US federal income taxtreatment of any distribution received from the Company.

Dividends paid by the Company will generally be taxable to a non-corporate US Holder at the specialreduced rate normally applicable to long-term capital gains, provided the Company qualifies for thebenefits of the Treaty which the company believes to be the case. A US Holder will be eligible for this

152

Page 159: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

reduced rate only if it has held the Offer Shares for more than 60 days during the 121-day periodbeginning 60 before the ex-dividend date. A US Holder will not be able to claim the reduced rate ondividends received from the Company if the Company is treated as a PFIC in the taxable year in whichthe dividends are received or in the preceding taxable year. See “Passive Foreign InvestmentCompany Considerations” below.

Prospective purchasers should consult their tax advisers concerning the applicability of the foreign taxcredit and source of income rules to dividends on the Offer Shares.

Foreign Currency Dividends

Dividends paid in pounds sterling will be included in income in a US dollar amount calculated byreference to the exchange rate in effect on the day the dividends are received by the US Holder,regardless of whether the pounds sterling are converted into US dollars at that time. If dividendsreceived in pounds sterling are converted into US dollars on the day they are received, the US Holdergenerally will not be required to recognise foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividendincome.

2.2 Sale or other Disposition

Upon a sale or other disposition of Offer Shares, a US Holder generally will recognise US sourcecapital gain or loss for US federal income tax purposes equal to the difference, if any, between theamount realised on the sale or other disposition and the US Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the OfferShares. This capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the US Holder’s holding periodin the Offer Shares exceeds one year. However, regardless of a US Holder’s actual holding period, anyloss may be long-term capital loss to the extent the US Holder receives a dividend that qualifies for thereduced rate described above under “Dividends-General”, and exceeds 10% of the US Holder’s basisin its Offer Shares.

A US Holder’s tax basis in an Offer Share will generally be its US dollar cost. The US dollar cost of anOffer Share purchased with foreign currency will generally be the US dollar value of the purchase priceon the date of purchase, or the settlement date for the purchase, in the case of Offer Shares traded onan established securities market, within the meaning of the applicable Treasury Regulations, that arepurchased by a cash basis US Holder (or an accrual basis US Holder that so elects). Such an electionby an accrual basis US Holder must be applied consistently from year to year and cannot be revokedwithout the consent of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The amount realised on a sale or otherdisposition of Offer Shares for an amount in foreign currency will generally be the US dollar value ofthis amount on the date of sale or disposition. On the settlement date, the US Holder will generallyrecognise US source foreign currency gain or loss (taxable as ordinary income or loss) equal to thedifference (if any) between the US dollar value of the amount received based on the exchange rates ineffect on the date of sale or other disposition and the settlement date. However, in the case of OfferShares traded on an established securities market that are sold by a cash basis US Holder (or anaccrual basis US Holder that so elects), the amount realised will be based on the exchange rate ineffect on the settlement date for the sale, and no exchange gain or loss will be recognised at that time.

2.3 Disposition of Foreign Currency

Foreign currency received on the sale or other disposition of an Offer Share will have a tax basis equalto its US dollar value on the settlement date. Foreign currency that is purchased will generally have atax basis equal to the US dollar value of the foreign currency on the date of purchase. Any gain or lossrecognised on a sale or other disposition of a foreign currency (including its use to purchase OfferShares or upon exchange for US dollars) will be US source ordinary income or loss.

2.4 Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations

A foreign corporation will be a PFIC in any taxable year in which, after taking into account the incomeand assets of the corporation and certain subsidiaries pursuant to applicable “look-through rules,”either (i) at least 75% of its gross income is “passive income” or (ii) at least 50% of the average valueof its assets is attributable to assets which produce passive income or are held for the production ofpassive income. The Company does not believe that it should be treated as a PFIC for US federal

income tax purposes for the preceding taxable year, does not believe that it will be treated as a PFICfor the current taxable year and does not expect to become a PFIC in any subsequent year but theCompany’s possible status as a PFIC must be determined annually and therefore may be subject tochange. This determination will depend in part on whether the Company continues to earn substantialamounts of operating income, as well as on the market valuation of the Company’s assets and theCompany’s spending schedule for its cash balances and the proceeds of the Offer. If the Companywere to be treated as a PFIC, US Holders of Offer Shares would be required (i) to pay a special USaddition to tax on certain distributions and gains on sale and (ii) to pay tax on any gain from the sale ofOffer Shares at ordinary income (rather than capital gains) rates in addition to paying the specialaddition to tax on this gain. Additionally, dividends paid by the Company would not be eligible for thespecial reduced rate of tax described above under “Dividends-General”. Prospective purchasersshould consult their tax advisers regarding the potential application of the PFIC regime.

2.5 Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Payments of dividends and other proceeds with respect to Offer Shares, by a US paying agent or otherUS intermediary will be reported to the IRS and to the US Holder as may be required under applicableregulations. Backup withholding may apply to these payments if the US Holder fails to provide anaccurate taxpayer identification number or certification of exempt status or fails to report all interest anddividends required to be shown on its US federal income tax returns. Certain US Holders are notsubject to backup withholding. US Holders should consult their tax advisers as to their qualification forexemption from backup withholding and the procedure for obtaining an exemption.

2.6 Foreign Financial Asset Reporting

US Holders are subject to reporting requirements on the holding of certain foreign financial assets,including equity of foreign entities, if the aggregate value of all of these assets exceeds $50,000 at theend of the taxable year or $75,000 at any time during the taxable year. The thresholds are higher forindividuals living outside of the United States and married couples filing jointly. The Offer Shares areexpected to constitute foreign financial assets subject to these requirements unless the Offer Sharesare held in an account at a financial institution (in which case the account may be reportable ifmaintained by a foreign financial institution). US Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding theapplication of the rules relating to foreign financial asset reporting.

8. DIRECTORS TERMS AND CONDITIONS

8.1 Remuneration Policy

The remuneration policy for Executive Directors and other senior managers is reviewed regularly bythe Remuneration Committee in order to ensure that it remains appropriate for a listed company ofcomparable size, value and complexity. The Company intends to conduct such a review followingAdmission. The Remuneration Committee, in undertaking a review, takes independent, specialist,advice.

The principal objectives of the remuneration policy are to attract, retain, and motivate the Group’sExecutive Directors and senior management, provide incentives that align with, and support, theGroup’s business strategy, and align incentives with the creation of long-term shareholder value. TheRemuneration Committee seeks to ensure that the Executive Directors are fairly rewarded for theGroup’s performance over the short- and long-term. A significant proportion of potential totalremuneration is therefore performance-related.

The Remuneration Committee takes into consideration the remuneration arrangements for the wideremployee population in making its decisions on remuneration for Executive Directors and seniormanagement. Remuneration decisions are also driven by external considerations, in particular localcompetitive practice in the markets in which the Group competes for talent.

Subject to any amendments which may be made as a result of the review to be conducted by theRemuneration Committee following Admission, the following is a summary of the Company’sremuneration policy.

Base salary

Base salary provides the foundation of a package that will attract, retain and motivate the right talentfor JUST EAT. Salaries reflect each individual’s role, responsibilities and experience, and take intoaccount competitive practice in relevant talent markets.

Current base salaries are £300,000 for the CEO and £250,000 for the CFO. Adjustments to ExecutiveDirector salaries will take account of increases awarded across the Group as a whole, and conditionselsewhere in the Group, the experience and performance of the individual, pay levels for comparableroles at comparable online businesses and listed companies of comparable value, size and complexity,and any changes in responsibilities or scope of the role.

Pension

Executive Directors are auto-enrolled into the Company’s defined contribution pension plan on thesame terms as other UK employees, receiving pension contributions of 1% of salary, increasing to 3%over the next 3 years. Executive Directors are offered the opportunity of sacrificing a proportion of theirsalary into pension arrangements, in which circumstances the Company makes a contribution equal tothe amount of its National Insurance saving.

Benefits

Executive Directors will receive benefits which the Remuneration Committee considers to becompetitive in the markets in which each individual is employed. Such benefits currently include private

177

Page 184: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

medical insurance and life insurance, and the Company will reimburse the reasonable costs ofcommuting (and associated tax costs) with a value of up to £12,000 per year. In addition, the CEO, butnot the CFO, is currently provided with a car allowance of £7,900. Relocation allowances andinternational assignment related benefits may also be provided as necessary.

Annual bonus

Executive Directors and other senior managers participate in annual bonus arrangements which aredesigned to incentivise and reward outperformance of financial and non-financial targets, to deliverincreased value to shareholders and accelerate delivery of the strategic plan.

Performance measures, targets and weightings are set at the start of each financial year by referenceto Group financial measures (currently Underlying EBITDA and revenue growth), as well as theachievement of personal/strategic objectives. The bonus for threshold performance will not exceed25% of the maximum opportunity. For 2014, the financial and personal/strategic objectives are eachweighted 50%, although the Committee retains discretion to vary these weightings to maintainalignment with the business priorities for the year. Performance targets are generally calibrated withreference to the Company’s budget for the year.

Although currently paid in cash on a six-monthly basis, from 2015 the Remuneration Committeeproposes that bonuses will be paid annually and will also keep under review whether it is appropriatefor bonuses to be partly deferred into shares. Where such arrangements are operated, individualswould be able to receive a dividend equivalent in cash or shares equal to the value of dividends whichwould have accrued during the vesting period.

Long-term incentives

Executive Directors and other senior managers will participate in long-term incentive arrangementsdesigned to drive sustained long-term performance that supports the creation of shareholder value.

Following Admission, Executive Directors and other senior managers may receive awards of shares,nil-cost options or market value options, which may be granted annually. Award levels are expressedas a number of shares, in the normal course equivalent in value of up to 200% of salary in the case ofperformance shares or nil cost options and 300% of salary in market value options. The RemunerationCommittee will review award sizes prior to each grant to ensure that they are appropriate in light ofmarket data and individual and Group performance.

Vesting of any long-term incentives will be subject to continued employment and achievement ofperformance conditions measured generally over a period of at least 3 years. If no entitlement hasbeen earned at the end of the relevant performance period, awards will lapse. Vesting for thresholdperformance will not exceed 25% of the maximum opportunity. Performance conditions may include,but will not be limited to, TSR relative to a relevant comparator group, EPS, Underlying EBITDA andrevenue growth. The Committee will determine the appropriate performance measures, weightings andtargets prior to grant to align with the Company’s strategy and creation of shareholder value.

Individuals may receive a dividend equivalent in cash or shares equal to the value of dividends whichwould have accrued during the vesting period.

Clawback

Clawback provisions may be operated by the Remuneration Committee in respect of awards under thenew long-term incentive arrangements in certain circumstances, including the individual’s misconduct,a material misstatement of results, or a mistake being made in calculating the vesting of any award.

Share ownership guidelines

To help further align Executive Directors’ and other senior managers’ interests with shareholders, theRemuneration Committee has implemented share ownership guidelines which are designed toencourage individuals to build up a significant shareholding in the Company. Executive Directors arerequired to build and/or maintain a shareholding (excluding shares held conditionally under any

Page 185: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

incentive arrangements but including a number of shares equivalent to the value of any vested andexercisable interest under the Company’s Joint Share Ownership Plan) equivalent to at least 200% ofbase salary. For other senior managers, shares equivalent to at least 75% of base salary should bebuilt up and/or maintained. Until the relevant shareholding levels are met, 50% of any vested sharesfrom incentive arrangements (net of tax) must be retained.

Recruitment policy

New Executive Director and senior management hires will be offered remuneration packages in linewith the Company’s remuneration policy in force at the time. In addition to the above elements ofremuneration, the Committee may, in exceptional circumstances, consider it appropriate to grant anaward under a different structure in order to facilitate the buyout of outstanding awards held by anindividual on recruitment. Any buyout award would be limited to what the Remuneration Committeeconsiders to be a fair estimate of the value of awards foregone when leaving the former employer andwill be structured so as to take into account other key terms, such as vesting schedules andperformance targets, of the awards which are being replaced.

Chairman and Non-executive Director fees

The Chairman’s and the other Non-Executive Directors’ fees will be set at a level to reflect the amountof time and level of involvement required in order to carry out their duties as members of the Board andits committees, and to attract and retain Non-Executive Directors of the highest calibre with relevantcommercial and other experience.

9. EMPLOYEE SHARE SCHEMES

9.1 Existing employee share plans

The Company currently has options and awards outstanding under five employee incentivearrangements (each as defined below), the Approved CSOP, the International CSOP, the EMI Plan,the EMI Plan No. 2 and the Joint Share Ownership Plan.

No new grants will be made under these arrangements following Admission.

9.1.1 Company Share Option Plan (the “Approved CSOP”)

The Approved CSOP is an HM Revenue & Customs approved company share option plan whichprovides for the grant of options over Ordinary Shares.

As at the Latest Practicable Date there are options under the Approved CSOP outstanding over5,701,698 Ordinary Shares, of which options over 1,787,265 Ordinary Shares have vested, withexercise prices of between £0.1667 and £0.5767 per Ordinary Share.

The exercise of options under the Approved CSOP may be satisfied with the issue of new OrdinaryShares.

Options vest over time, as to 25% on the first anniversary of the vesting start date and then equally ona quarterly basis until becoming fully vested on the fourth anniversary of the vesting start date. Optionsare exercisable at any time from Admission to the extent vested as at the date of exercise.Unexercised options lapse on the tenth anniversary of the grant date.

Unexercised options will also lapse in the event of a participant ceasing to be a director or employee ofany member of the Group by reason of gross misconduct. On ceasing to a director or employee for anyother reason, unvested options lapse, but any vested options continue to be capable of exerciseprovided that the participant does not breach of any restrictive covenant or other term of theparticipant’s employment contract or commence employment with a competitor within 12 months ofceasing to be a director or employee of the Group.

The number of Ordinary Shares and/or the option exercise price may be adjusted on a variation ofshare capital of the Company so that the total exercise price payable in respect of an option remainsunchanged. The Board may amend the terms of the Approved CSOP at any time, subject to obtaining

182

Page 189: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

any necessary approval from HM Revenue & Customs, and provided that no amendment to theadvantage of participants may be made without prior approval of the Company in general meeting(save where the amendment is necessary or desirable in order to obtain or maintain HM Revenue &Customs approval and/or favourable tax, exchange control or regulatory treatment, minor to benefit theadministration of the plan and/or to take account of changes in legislation). Benefits under theApproved CSOP are not pensionable.

9.1.2 Company Share Option Plan No. 2 (International) (the “International CSOP”)

The terms of the International CSOP are the same as the terms of the Approved CSOP, save as setout below.

As at the Latest Practicable Date there are options under the International CSOP outstanding over3,849,984 Ordinary Shares, of which options over 1,452,870 Ordinary Shares have vested.

The International CSOP is not an HM Revenue & Customs approved plan. The options granted underthe International CSOP have exercise prices between £0.1667 and £0.5767 per ordinary share.

The exercise of options under the International CSOP may be satisfied in whole or part by a cashpayment in lieu of the issue or transfer of Ordinary Shares.

9.1.3 Enterprise Management Incentive Share Option Plan (the “EMI Plan”) and the EnterpriseManagement Incentive Share Option Plan No. 2 (the “EMI Plan No. 2”)

Options granted under the EMI Plan and the EMI Plan No. 2 (together the “EMI Plans”) are HMRevenue & Customs tax advantaged enterprise management incentive options granted over B ordinaryshares.

As at the Latest Practicable Date there are options under the EMI Plan outstanding over 2,505,357B ordinary shares, all of which have vested and are therefore fully exercisable, with exercise prices of£0.0333 per B ordinary share, and options under the EMI Plan No. 2 outstanding over 407,538B ordinary shares, of which options over 311,310 B ordinary shares have vested, with an exerciseprice of £0.0463 per B ordinary share.

On the reclassification of B ordinary shares as Ordinary Shares, options granted under the EMI Planswill be adjusted so as to continue to subsist as options over the same number of Ordinary Shares.

The exercise of options granted under the EMI Plans may be satisfied with the issue of new B ordinaryshares or, following the adjustment to reflect the reclassification of B ordinary shares as OrdinaryShares, will be able to be satisfied by the issue of new Ordinary Shares.

Under the EMI Plan, where a participant is dismissed summarily for gross misconduct, options willlapse, unless the Board determines otherwise. Where the reason for the cessation is other than due togross misconduct, options will be exercisable for a period of 40 days (or 12 months in the case ofdeath). Any unexercised options will lapse on the fifth anniversary of the date on which they becamefully vested.

In respect of the EMI Plan No. 2, all options which are not yet fully vested vest and become exercisableover time, as to 25% on the first anniversary of the vesting start date (as stipulated in the optionagreement) and then equally on a quarterly basis until becoming fully vested on the fourth anniversaryof the vesting start date (as stipulated in the option agreement). Options may only be exercised to theextent vested as at the date of exercise.

Under the EMI Plan No. 2, in the event of a participant ceasing to be a director or employee of theGroup due to death, ill-heath or disability an option may be exercised to the extent vested for a periodof 40 days (or 12 months in the case of death). Where the cessation is for any other reason optionsshall lapse unless the Board determines otherwise. Unexercised options shall lapse on the tenthanniversary of grant.

183

Page 190: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

Under both of the EMI Plans, the number of shares subject to options and/or the option exercise pricemay be adjusted on a variation of share capital of the Company. The Board may amend the terms ofthe EMI Plans at any time provided that no amendment to EMI Plan No. 2 to the advantage ofparticipants may be made without prior approval of the Company in general meeting (save where theamendment is to obtain favourable tax, exchange control or regulatory treatment, or to benefit theadministration of the plan and/or to take account of changes in legislation). Benefits under the EMIPlans are not pensionable.

9.1.4 Joint Share Ownership Plan (“JSOP”)

Joint Ownership Awards have been made to certain directors and employees of the Group and theseawards consist of a joint interest in the shares subject to the terms set out below (the “JointOwnership Awards”). Joint Ownership Awards have been granted in respect of B ordinary shares andOrdinary Shares. The B ordinary shares and Ordinary Shares subject to the Joint Ownership Awardsare already in issue and are held by an employee benefit trust (the “Employee Benefit Trust”). As atthe Latest Practicable Date 6,012,900 B ordinary shares and 12,685,950 Ordinary Shares were inissue subject to the Joint Ownership Awards. Awards in respect of 3,955,473 B ordinary shares havevested and awards in respect of 598,428 Ordinary Shares have vested.

The B ordinary shares under the Joint Ownership Awards will be subject to the reclassification of Bordinary shares as Ordinary Shares as further described above. Consequently, following Admissionthese Joint Ownership Awards will continue on their existing terms over the same number of OrdinaryShares.

Pursuant to the Joint Share Ownership Plan, participants subscribed for the jointly owned sharessubject to the Joint Ownership Award jointly with the Employee Benefit Trust. Under the terms onwhich participants subscribed for the jointly owned shares, the participant’s interest in the jointly ownedshares entitles the participants to share in the proceeds of sale of the jointly owned shares up to theaggregate of the participant’s subscription amount and the value in excess of a set hurdle.

Each participant was required to pay a subscription amount for the jointly owned shares equal to themarket value of the participant’s interest as determined by HMRC, and, in accordance with the terms ofthe JSOP, such amount was left outstanding as a liability to the Company. Due to the differingcircumstances on the different dates on which participants subscribed for jointly owned shares, HMRCdetermined market value on certain acquisition dates as being only a nominal sum, and on otheracquisition dates as being more significant.

As a preparatory step to Admission, the Company called all outstanding subscription amounts on thejointly owned shares. In order to facilitate this, the Company has made a loan to every participant in theJoint Share Ownership Plan whose subscription amount was valued by HMRC at more than a nominalsum (which includes the Executive Directors, the Chairman and the Senior Managers). The amount ofeach loan was the same as the amount of each such participant’s outstanding subscription amount,and was immediately applied by the Company in full in paying up that amount. The aggregate amountof the loans made to participants was £5,259,098.60, which remains an outstanding obligation infavour of the Company. This is the same amount as the aggregate subscription amount for suchparticipants, which until paid up with the loan was also an outstanding obligation in favour of theCompany. The loans become due for repayment at the latest by the date on which the jointly ownedshares are disposed of. If, on the date on which jointly owned shares vest or on the first date thereafteron which a disposal of those jointly owned shares would not be prohibited by law or regulation (or inthe event that the loan is required to be repaid while jointly owned shares are unvested), the value ofthe participant’s interest in those jointly owned shares is less than the outstanding loan amountattributable to those jointly owned shares, provided that vested shares are disposed of at (or withoutdelay on behalf of the participant as soon as reasonably possible following) that time and the proceedsare applied in reducing the loan, the amount of the loan attributable to those jointly owned shares thatshall be repayable shall be limited to the value of the participant’s interest in those jointly owned shareswith any balance of the loan amount attributable to those jointly owned shares no longer beingrepayable. Until the Joint Ownership Awards are fully vested, the Company will also make annualpayments to the participants the net amount of which will reimburse the participants for the annualincome tax charge that arises on such proportion of the outstanding loan amount as is attributable tounvested jointly owned shares.

184

Page 191: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

The Joint Ownership Awards vest over time, as to 25% on the specified date established on grant andthen equally on a quarterly or monthly basis until becoming fully vested on the fourth anniversary of thevesting start date, and certain Joint Ownership Awards are subject to additional vesting conditions.Once vested, the participant can require the shares subject to the Joint Ownership Awards to be sold.The participant will normally forfeit all or part of his unvested interest on a no-gain no-loss basis onceasing employment, subject to the reason for the cessation. To the extent not otherwise sold, theEmployee Benefit Trust can require all shares subject to Joint Ownership Awards to be sold on thetenth anniversary of the date of award or, in respect of more recent awards, on the tenth anniversary ofthe date of Admission.

Dividends payable on the jointly owned shares are split between the participant and the EmployeeBenefit Trust, in proportion to the value of their respective interests at such time. Dividends will bepayable on jointly owned shares where the Company so determines, in the absence of which thedividend is waived. The voting rights in respect of the Ordinary Shares subject to the Joint OwnershipAwards may be exercised only by the Employee Benefit Trust.

The hurdle may be adjusted on a variation of share capital of the Company or on a reorganisation orreconstruction of the Company or the demerger of any member from the Group. The terms of JointOwnership Awards may be amended by agreement of the Employee Benefit Trust and the participant.

Benefits under the Joint Ownership Awards are not pensionable.

9.2 The New Employee Share Plans

The Board believes that it is important to attract, motivate and retain employees of the appropriatecalibre and to align their interests with those of shareholders in the Company. Accordingly, the NewEmployee Share Plans have been adopted, some or all of which may be used by the Company fromtime to time as appropriate.

The terms of the New Employee Share Plans are summarised below and were approved by ashareholder written resolution passed on 17 March 2014.

9.2.1 The JUST EAT Performance Share Plan (the “PSP”)

Administration

Awards may be granted, and the PSP will be administered, by the Board or a duly authorisedcommittee of the Board. The current intention is that the PSP will be administered and awards grantedby the Remuneration Committee (and this will always be the case in respect of awards for ExecutiveDirectors).

Eligibility

Awards may be granted to any of the employees of the Company or its subsidiaries, including theExecutive Directors.

Form of awards

Under the PSP, awards will take the form of either:

• a conditional right to receive Shares which will be automatically transferred to the awardholder following vesting (a ‘‘Conditional Award’’);

• a nil or nominal-cost option, exercisable by the award holder following vesting during apermitted exercise period (extending not later than the tenth anniversary of the date of award)(an ‘‘Option’’); or

• an interest in Shares which will be held on behalf of the award holder until vesting (a‘‘Forfeitable Share Award’’). The award holder will not be entitled to call for or otherwise dealin the Shares subject to a Forfeitable Share Award prior to vesting.

185

Page 192: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

Dividend equivalents

Award holders may receive an additional payment (or Shares of equivalent value) equal to thedividends during the vesting period which would have been paid on the number of Shares that vest.

Individual limit

The maximum market value of the Shares over which an employee may be granted an award underthe PSP in any financial year shall not exceed an amount equal to 200% of the employee’s grossannual basic salary at that time. In exceptional circumstances, this limit may be increased to 300% atthe discretion of the Remuneration Committee.

Performance conditions

The Remuneration Committee will determine the performance conditions which will apply to awardsand which will be measured, ordinarily, over a period of not less than three years. The RemunerationCommittee may specify a shorter period only where an award is granted in connection with therecruitment of an eligible employee. There will be no provision for re-testing. The RemunerationCommittee may alter the performance conditions if events happen after the date of grant that causethe Remuneration Committee to consider that any element of the performance condition is no longer afair measure of the Company’s performance, provided that the revised target is not considered to bematerially less challenging in the circumstances.

Vesting

Awards will normally only vest three years after the date of grant, while the award holder remains inoffice or employment with the Group, and to the extent that relevant performance conditions have beenmet. The Remuneration Committee may specify a shorter vesting period only where an award isgranted in connection with the recruitment of an eligible employee.

If the Remuneration Committee so determines, an award may be satisfied in whole or in part by a cashpayment as an alternative to the issue or transfer of Shares.

Leavers

An award will normally lapse where the award holder ceases to hold office or employment with theGroup. Awards will not lapse where the cessation of office or employment with the Group is due toinjury, disability, redundancy, retirement, the transfer of the award holder’s employment in connectionwith a business sale, the company with which the award holder holds office or employment ceasing tobe a member of the Group, or any other reason if the Remuneration Committee so determines (a‘‘Good Leaver’’).

Where an award holder ceases employment for a Good Leaver reason, the award will continue andvest on its normal vesting date. However, the Remuneration Committee may determine that the awardwill instead vest on or at any time following the date of cessation. On the death of a participant, anaward shall immediately vest. Where an award holder ceases employment for a Good Leaver reasonor by reason of death, an award in the form of an Option will be exercisable during a period of sixmonths from the date of cessation (or such longer period as the Remuneration Committee may permit)or 12 months in the case of death.

Corporate actions

In the event of a change of control, awards will normally vest and Options may be exercised for aperiod of six months. In the event of the passing of a resolution for the voluntary winding-up of theCompany, awards will vest and Options will be exercisable for a period of two months. In the event of ademerger of a substantial part of the Group’s business, a special dividend or a similar event affectingthe value of the Shares to a material extent, awards may be adjusted as set out below or theRemuneration Committee may allow awards to vest, in which case Options may be exercised for aperiod of two months, or such longer period as the Remuneration Committee may permit. Where thecorporate action forms part of an internal re-organisation, unless the Remuneration Committeedetermines otherwise, an award shall not vest, and instead will be rolled-over into an award overshares in the new controlling company of equivalent value.

186

Page 193: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

Extent of vesting

Awards will only vest (including for leavers or on a corporate action) to the extent that the relevantperformance conditions have been satisfied. Where an award vests prior to the normal vesting date,the Remuneration Committee will assess performance using such information as it determines to beappropriate.

Where, prior to the normal vesting date, an award holder ceases employment for a Good Leaverreason or there is a corporate action, the number of Shares in respect of which an award vests will,unless the Remuneration Committee determines otherwise, be pro-rated on the basis of the number ofwhole months which have elapsed from grant to the date of cessation or the corporate action (asapplicable).

Joint ownership awards

As an alternative to granting an award under the PSP, the Company may structure the grant as a jointownership award in order to provide tax benefits to the employee. Joint ownership awards will have thesame vesting terms as awards granted under the PSP but will be structured in the same way as thejoint ownership awards which were granted by the Company prior to Admission, together with a rightfor the employee to receive, for nil or nominal cost, the part interest held by the trustee. Jointownership awards will count towards the individual and overall plan limits for the PSP as outlinedabove.

9.2.2 The JUST EAT Employee Share Option Scheme (the “ESOS”)

Administration

Options may be granted, and the ESOS will be administered, by the Board, or a duly authorisedcommittee of the Board. The current intention is that the ESOS will be administered and optionsgranted by the Remuneration Committee (and this will always be the case in respect of options grantedto Executive Directors, if any).

Eligibility

Options may be granted to any of the employees of the Company or its subsidiaries, including theExecutive Directors (although it is currently not anticipated that Executive Directors will participate inthe ESOS).

Form of options

Under the ESOS, options will take the form of either:

• options to acquire Shares in the Company granted under Part A of the ESOS; or

• options to acquire Shares in the Company granted under Part B of the ESOS, which are UKtax-advantaged options governed by relevant statutory provisions (“Tax AdvantagedOptions”).

Alternatively, the Company may make joint ownership awards, as set out below.

Exercise price

No consideration shall be payable for the grant of an Option.

The exercise price of an option will not be less than the greater of:

• the middle-market quotation of a Share on the date of grant, or the dealing day immediatelypreceding the date of grant, or averaged over the three dealing days immediately precedingthe date of grant (in either case, the dealing day(s) must not be earlier than the first day afterthe Company makes an announcement of its final or interim results); and

• in the case of options over unissued Shares, the nominal value of a Share.

187

Page 194: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

Individual limits

The maximum market value of the Shares, measured at the date of grant, over which any employeemay be granted Tax-Advantaged Options, when including Tax-Advantaged Options which are currentlyheld by that employee, is £30,000.

The maximum market value of the Shares over which any employee may be granted options under theESOS (under either or both of Part A and Part B) in any financial year shall not exceed an amountequal to 300% of the employee’s gross annual basic salary at that time. In exceptional circumstances,this limit may be increased to 400% at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee.

Performance conditions

The Remuneration Committee will determine the performance conditions which will apply to optionsand which will be measured, ordinarily, over a period of not less than three years. For eligibleemployees other than Executive Directors, the Remuneration Committee may determine thatperformance conditions need not apply over and above the inherent requirement for share pricegrowth. Where performance conditions apply there will be no provision for re-testing. TheRemuneration Committee may alter any performance conditions if events happen after the date ofgrant that cause the Remuneration Committee to consider that any element of the performancecondition is no longer a fair measure of the Company’s performance, provided that the revised target isnot considered to be materially less challenging in the circumstances.

Exercise of options

Options will normally only vest and become exercisable three years after the date of grant, while theoption holder remains in office or employment with the Group, and to the extent that relevantperformance conditions have been met. Options will lapse not later than the tenth anniversary of thedate of grant.

If the Remuneration Committee so determines, Options granted under Part A may be satisfied in wholeor in part by a cash payment, or a transfer of shares without payment from the option holder,equivalent in value to the gain which would be made by the option holder on exercise.

Leavers

Options will normally lapse where the option holder ceases to hold office or employment with theGroup. Options will not lapse where the cessation of office or employment with the Group is due todeath, injury, disability, redundancy, retirement, the transfer of the option holder’s employment inconnection with a business sale, the company with which the option holder holds office or employmentceasing to be a member of the Group, or any other reason if the Remuneration Committee sodetermines (a “Good Leaver”).

Where an option holder ceases employment for a Good Leaver reason:

• a Tax-Advantaged Option will immediately vest and be capable of exercise for a period of sixmonths (or 12 months in the case of death); and

• any other option will continue and become exercisable on its normal vesting date, althoughthe Remuneration Committee may determine that the option will instead vest and becomeexercisable on or at any time following the date of cessation.

Once vested, options may be exercised by a Good Leaver for a period of six months (or such longerperiod as the Remuneration Committee may permit).

On the death of an option holder, options shall immediately vest and may be exercised during a periodof 12 months.

Corporate actions

In the event of a change of control, options will normally vest and may be exercised for a period of sixmonths. In the event of the passing of a resolution for the voluntary winding-up of the Company,options will vest and will be exercisable for a period of two months.

In the event of a demerger of a substantial part of the Group’s business, a special dividend or a similarevent affecting the value of the Shares to a material extent, options (other than Tax-AdvantagedOptions) may be adjusted as set out below or the Remuneration Committee may allow options to vestand be exercised for a period of two months, or such longer period as the Remuneration Committeemay permit.

Where the corporate action forms part of an internal re-organisation, unless the RemunerationCommittee determines otherwise, an option shall not vest, and instead will be rolled-over into an optionover shares in the new controlling company of equivalent value.

Extent of vesting

Options will only become exercisable (including for leavers or on a corporate action) to the extent thatany relevant performance conditions have been satisfied. Where an option becomes exercisable priorto the normal vesting date, the Remuneration Committee will assess performance using suchinformation as it determines to be appropriate.

Where, prior to the normal vesting date, an option holder ceases employment for a Good Leaverreason or there is a corporate action, the number of Shares in respect of which the option may beexercised will, unless the Remuneration Committee determines otherwise, be pro-rated on the basis ofthe number of whole months which have elapsed from grant to the date of cessation or the corporateaction (as applicable).

Joint ownership awards

As an alternative to granting options under Part A to an employee, the Company may structure thegrant as a joint ownership award in order to provide tax benefits to the employee. Joint ownershipawards will have the same vesting terms as options granted under Part A of the ESOS but will bestructured in the same way as the joint ownership awards which were granted by the Company prior toAdmission, details of which are set out at paragraph 9.1.4 of this Part XVI of the Prospectus.

Page 197: JUST EAT PROSPECTUSfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/c4fdb8d1fb...prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the prospectus as a

Dividend Shares

If dividends are declared in respect of any Shares held in the SIP trust, the Board may allow or requirethose dividends to be re-invested on behalf of the employee in the acquisition of further Shares(“Dividend Shares”).

Holding period

Free Shares and Matching Shares awarded under the SIP must be held in the SIP trust for a holdingperiod specified by the Board of between three and five years. The holding period will end if theparticipant ceases to be employed by the Company or an associated company. Dividend Shares mustremain in the SIP trust for a holding period of three years unless the participant ceases to be employedby the Company or an associated company. Partnership Shares may also be subject to a holdingperiod if determined by the Board.

Restrictions on shares, including forfeiture

Shares in the SIP may be subject to such other restrictions as may be imposed by the Board, includingforfeiture restrictions, subject to the provisions of the applicable legislation.

Corporate actions

Participants in the SIP will have the same rights in the event of a change of control of the Company asother shareholders. To the extent that shares in the acquiring company are received, subject to certainstatutory requirements, such shares may continue to be held in the SIP trust and receive tax benefits.In other circumstances, shares will cease to be subject to the SIP although restrictions, includingforfeiture provisions, may apply.

International participants

The Company will also establish an International SIP, which will be based on the SIP but modified totake account of overseas tax, exchange control and securities laws. Awards under the InternationalSIP will take the form of conditional rights to receive Shares or a cash equivalent amount on vesting.Award holders may receive an additional payment (or Shares of equivalent value) equal to thedividends during the vesting period which would have been paid on the number of Shares that vest.Awards under the International SIP will be subject to the same individual limits on participation asunder the SIP and will count towards the overall plan limit in the SIP (as described below).

Operation of the SIP and International SIP upon Admission

In connection with Admission, eligible employees in the UK and in specified other countries with atleast six months’ qualifying service at Admission will each receive an award of Free Shares. Thenumber of Free Shares awarded will be dependent on the length of qualifying service, with employeeswho have between six and twelve months’ qualifying service receiving £500 worth of Free Shares,rising to a maximum of £3,000 worth of Free Shares for employees who have qualifying service ofthree years or more. The number of Shares awarded will be determined at the IPO offer price.

Employees will be required to leave the Free Shares in the SIP trust during a holding period of threeyears.

Where an employee ceases employment with the Group prior to the end of the holding period, to theextent the Free Shares are not forfeit (as set out below) a restriction on sale will continue to apply,provided that where an employee leaves in circumstances where a tax charge arises sufficient of theFree Shares may be sold on behalf of the employee to fund the tax liability with the net number ofShares remaining subject to the restriction on sale.

The Free Shares will also be subject to a forfeiture provision whereby employees will lose all or aproportion of their Free Shares if they cease to hold office or employment with the Group within threeyears, save where the reason for cessation is death, injury, disability, redundancy, retirement, thetransfer of the participant’s employment in connection with a business sale, or the company with which

Clawback

The Remuneration Committee may apply clawback (other than to tax-advantaged options or awards)where at any time before or within three years of vesting it determines that the financial results of theCompany were misstated, an error was made in any calculation or in assessing performance, whichresulted in the number of Shares in respect of which the option or award was granted or vested beingmore than it should have been. The Remuneration Committee may also apply a claw-back where theoption or award holder has been dismissed for misconduct.

A clawback may be satisfied in a number of ways, including by reducing the amount of any futurebonus, by reducing the vesting of any subsisting or future options or awards (other than tax-advantaged options or awards), by reducing the number of Shares under any vested but unexercisedoption and/or by either one or both of a requirement to make a cash payment or transfer of shares tothe Company.

An action has been brought against a subsidiary of the Company, just-eat.dk ApS (“Just Eat DK”), inthe Danish Maritime and Commercial Court by two competitors, e-takeaway and Pizza.dk (together,the “Claimants”), for alleged violations of the Danish Competition Act and the Danish Marketing Act,claiming damages of 21.8 million Danish Kroner. It is argued by the Claimants that Just Eat DK was ina dominant position in the relevant market in the period from 2005 until 2008 and that in that sameperiod of time it abused this dominant position by using exclusivity terms in its contracts withrestaurants and by helping restaurants terminate their cooperation with e-takeaway and Pizza.dk. TheClaimants also claim that Just Eat DK’s use of the word “takeaway” in advertising violatese-takeaway’s trademark rights and the Danish Marketing Act, and that Just Eat DK has violatede-takeaway’s trademark rights by using “e-takeaway” as a Google ad word.

The Claimants also filed an application with the Danish Competition Authority (the “DCA”) to reopen acomplaint that the Claimants had made in relation to Just Eat DK that was originally rejected (in itsentirety) by the DCA in 2009. The DCA has refused to date to reopen the complaint. e-takeaway has,as a consequence, initiated a judicial review proceeding in relation to the DCA’s refusal.

The Danish Maritime and Commercial Court refused e-takeaway’s request to stay its proceedings untile-takeaway’s case against the DCA is concluded. The oral hearings for the action in the DanishMaritime and Commercial Court have been scheduled for January 2015.

Just Eat DK has received legal advice that the Claimants’ prospect of success in the Danish andMaritime Court and with the DCA is remote.
