A consortium led by FedEx and Advent International has successfully secured over 89% of the shares in Polish parcel locker operator InPost, meeting the minimum acceptance threshold required for its takeover bid. The offer, which values InPost at approximately €7.8 billion ($8.95 billion) or €15.60 per share, will result in the company being delisted from Euronext Amsterdam once the transaction is completed.
The European Commission granted its approval for the deal on August 18, 2026. InPost confirmed on Tuesday that it had received the EU's green light, and on Friday, stated that 89.81% of its shares had been tendered. The consortium aims to support InPost's ongoing rapid expansion.
InPost, which operates across nine countries including Poland, France, Spain, the UK, Portugal, Italy, and the Benelux countries, will continue to operate under its existing name, branding, management structure, and Polish headquarters. Founder and CEO Rafał Brzoska is set to remain in his position and will also be a significant shareholder through his investment vehicle, A&R.
Since its listing in 2021, InPost's shares have faced pressure due to increasing competition in its domestic market and substantial investments required for its expansion. In the first quarter of 2026, the company reported a 31% year-on-year revenue increase to 3.9 billion zloty, with notable growth in the UK, Eurozone, and Poland, although its EBITDA decreased by 4% to 902 million zloty.
