lowering the downside

English Bus/Financial Finance (general)
The Grubhub spread widened from $1.00 to $1.50 as Grubhub’s cover bid, Uber, bought a competing business thus lowering the optionality of a competing offer and/or lowering the downside for Grub on a break.

I assume that "lowering the optionality" means less probabilities of a competing offer and/or lowering Grub's downside. I translate a lot of financial documents, but I still find M&A stuff tricky. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who's having a hard time understanding this...!

I'd like to know what "reducing the optionality" means as well.
