It was only a matter of time before one of the food delivery companies bought another ... And yesterday, DoorDash announced it had agreed to buy Caviar from Square for a whopping $410 million in cash and stock. It paid just over $44 million for it in 2014.

• Square was trying to sell the food delivery company at least as far back as late 2015, as Bloomberg reported shortly after, and a number of companies like Uber, GrubHub and Yelp passed on it. At the time, Square was suggesting a price tag of about $100 million, which companies balked at.
• So how did it sell it to DoorDash for 4x that amount? For one, Caviar's certainly grown since then, and bolstered its corporate ordering business via its acquisition last year of Zesty.
• And, according to a source familiar with DoorDash's thinking, it sees Caviar's partner restaurants and strong markets as additive to its own (meaning, not as much current overlap), making it a valuable asset to acquire, though the apps will remain separate for the time being. Still, whether it's worth the price is up to interpretation — do let me know your thoughts!
• Bonus: Postmates also took a close look at Caviar as part of the formal process Square recently ran, a source tells Axios, but ultimately didn't make an offer, finding it overpriced. It's unclear who else, if anyone at all, also seriously considered or made bids.

• Banking scoops: Goldman Sachs has named David Dubner global head of M&A structuring, Axios has learned. He's been with the investment bank since 2006, most recently as co-head of Americas activism and shareholder advisory.

• Meanwhile, Mercury, a challenger to startup bank Brex, is raising a $20 million round at a $100 million post-money valuation, according to multiple sources. One of them tells me that existing backer Andreessen Horowitz is co-leading the round with CRV.

• Facebook woes: The Wall Street Journal reports that the Federal Trade Commission's antitrust probe of Facebook is looking at whether the social network used acquisitions to take out its competition.

• Why it matters: It suggests that the agency was serious when it said it might look at already-completed mergers and acquisitions as part of a broader review of the tech sector, writes Axios's David McCabe.
• Even before this news, investors in Silicon Valley have been aware of a chill in big consumer M&A from Facebook and its peers like Google and Amazon for these exact fears of scrutiny, as I noted a few weeks ago.
• Meanwhile, (Facebook board member) Peter Thiel published an op-ed in the NYT this morning with a bit more about his accusations against Google.

Campbell Soup has signed a deal to sell its Australian snacks unit Arnott’s and some of its international operations to KKR for $2.2 billion. The two will enter into a long-term licensing agreement for the exclusive rights to use certain Campbell brands, including Campbell’s, Swanson, V8, Prego, Chunky and Campbell’s Real Stock, in certain markets including Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia.

• Why it's the BFD: Arnott’s is the biggest single brand in Campbell’s international portfolio, with $737 million in annual revenue. It includes popular cookies like Tim Tam.
• Bottom line: "By applying almost $3 billion of divestiture net proceeds to reduce debt, Campbell’s balance sheet will be stronger and capable of supporting our plan to grow our focused and differentiated portfolio." — CEO Mark Clouse
