€7.8bn InPost takeover bid formally launched
A consortium of Advent International (private equity), FedEx (logistics), PPF Group (Czech-Slovak investment conglomerate), and A&R Investments officially launched a public tender offer for all shares of InPost, Poland's parcel locker and e-commerce delivery champion, at a price of €15.60 per share — a 53% premium to the company's three-month volume-weighted average from early January 2026. The total equity value of the deal stands at €7.8 billion. The acceptance window runs from 26 May to 27 July. An extraordinary general meeting of shareholders has been scheduled for 29 June, with full deal completion expected in the second half of 2026. The consortium has pledged InPost will retain its Polish headquarters and continue operating as a standalone competitor to FedEx in its own markets.
