The deal got approval from the CCI early last month after a very long wait But Prosus says that "certain conditions precedent were not fulfilled by the 30 September 2022 long stop date" Wondering what these could be - related to business performance?

Or is this just buyer's remorse playing out now? PayU/Prosus agreed to acquire Billdesk during the peak of the funding boom Since then valuation of a bunch of global peers have taken a hit

Don't remember the deal announcement making any reference to a termination fee After getting the CCI approval, which PayU/Prosus really pushed for, calling off this transaction is SHOCKING @PratikBhakta_89 documented why it is taking so long

Why is the $4.7 billion PayU-Billdesk getting called off massive? Because it was a CASH deal, which is rare in India internet It would have meant a $1.4 billion payday for founders and over $3 billion for investors Details here 👇

Prosus share price is generally taking the news well. Down by less than 1%

@madhavchanchani Announced 14 months back and CCI clearance a month ago- is it too late for Prosus/PayU to back out ?

@madhavchanchani @SanchoSandeep The deal value was a real bummer! Billdesk doesn't really have it's own meaningful consumer base and it's tech engine doesn't have the same need after creation of the BBPS platform
