Grab would buy out Uber

Grab, the dominant ride-hailing service in South-East Asia, is close to finalising a deal to acquire Uber Technologies Inc's business in the region and may sign a deal this week or next, according to people familiar with the matter.

Under terms of the proposed agreement, Grab would buy out Uber's operations in certain markets in South-East Asia and Uber will take a stake in Grab, the people said, asking not to be named because the talks are private.
