Uber is reportedly considering another investment in Lime, in a round that would sink the embattled scooter startup's valuation by nearly 80% — and give Uber the option to buy it in 2 years

-- Uber is reportedly considering leading a $170 million emergency fundraising round for the scooter startup Lime, according to the Information.

--The terms of the deal will hit the scooter startup hard. The round will reportedly slash Lime's valuation to $510 million, a 79% slide from the startup's whopping valuation of $2.4 billion in 2018.

-- As a part of the deal, Uber will have the option of buying Lime between 2022 and 2024 at a specific price, the report said.

-- But while the terms of the new proposed deal swing in favor of Uber, it's worth noting that the investment comes at a time when the ride-hailing giant has also been under severe pressure as the coronavirus outbreak has slammed its core business.

-- Both Uber and Lime did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
