According to Germany's Manager Magazin, Uber is nearing an agreement to acquire Blacklane, a German premium chauffeur service, at a valuation of several hundred million euros. Sources familiar with the matter said the two parties are close to signing a contract, though specific deal terms have not yet been disclosed. To date, neither Uber nor Blacklane has issued an official comment on the matter.
