Delivery Hero SE, the world's leading local delivery platform, held its ordinary 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Berlin on June 23, with shareholders approving all resolutions on the agenda. The company reported that votes aligned with proposals from the Management Board and Supervisory Board, covering board elections, compensation systems, and auditor appointments.
Key outcomes included the re-election of Scott Ferguson and Roger Rabalais to the Supervisory Board. Ferguson's term extends until the 2027 AGM, while Rabalais, who was court-appointed in April 2026, will serve until the 2029 AGM. Following his election, the Supervisory Board intends to reappoint Rabalais as Chairman of the Audit Committee, leveraging his expertise in financial and risk oversight. Kristin Skogen Lund, Chair of the Supervisory Board, emphasized that these appointments maintain high-caliber independent oversight, aligning with the company's commitment to robust corporate governance.
CEO and Co-Founder Niklas Ostberg noted that the clear approval demonstrates strong shareholder support for Delivery Hero's strategy, which includes transitioning to the Everyday App, executing its Strategic Review, and maintaining operational momentum toward financial goals. The AGM also ratified the modernized Management Board Compensation System 2026, designed to simplify incentives with a stronger capital market focus and increased transparency, reflecting long-term strategic objectives and investor expectations.
In line with regulatory rotation guidelines, PricewaterhouseCoopers GmbH was appointed as the new auditor starting in the 2027 financial year, while KPMG AG was ratified for the current 2026 year. Additionally, shareholders formally approved discharges for all Management Board and Supervisory Board members who served during the 2025 financial year.
