Instacart shareholders can choose $65 per share in cash, 0.3372 DoorDash shares, or a mix, a 26% premium over the stock's 22 October closing price. At least 75% of the price will be paid in cash, backed by a JPMorgan bridge loan. DoorDash will keep the Instacart brand, app and retailer software, and plans to bring DashPass and Instacart+ closer together so members pay a single fee, which DoorDash estimates could save members around $100m a year. The deal needs shareholder and regulator approval in the US, Canada and Israel, and isn't expected to close until late 2027 or the first half of 2028. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
