Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On November 9, 2020, the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) granted early termination of the HSR waiting period for Uber Technologies, Inc.’s (“Uber’s”) acquisition of Postmates Inc. (“Postmates”). We now expect to close this transaction in the fourth quarter of 2020, subject to the approval of Postmates stockholders and other customary closing conditions.

On November 6, 2020, the Company sent a letter to the DOJ indicating that, subject to and upon the closing of the transaction, Uber will waive exclusivity provisions between Postmates and approximately 800 restaurants in certain geographic areas across the United States and, for a period of six months after closing, Uber will not enter into exclusivity agreements with those restaurants. The details are outlined in the attached letter to the DOJ.

The information set forth under this Item 7.01 and in the accompanying Exhibit 99.1 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as otherwise expressly stated in such filing..
