The transaction completion is subject to several conditions, including signing mutually satisfactory definitive purchase agreement and court approval.

The process is expected to close within 45 days. Facedrive noted that there is no guarantee that the transaction will complete on the terms set forth in the term sheet or at all.

Facedrive chairman and CEO Sayan Navaratnam said: “The term sheet with Foodora Canada comes at the perfect time for Facedrive. The launch of Facedrive Foods is rooted in Facedrive’s vision of becoming the one-stop-shop platform for eco-conscious and socially responsible users.

“A full ecosystem with rideshare, delivery, entertainment, gamification and social components – all in a single platform – is the epitome of convenience with the huge added bonus of being green.

“This provides an incredible growth opportunity to broaden our geographic, user and technological base globally.”
