Advent and Fedex launch €7.8 billion InPost bid
FedEx joined Advent, A&R and PPF in launching an all-cash offer for InPost on 26 May, valuing the Polish parcel lockers company at €7.8 billion. The consortium offered €15.60 per share and said it would back InPost's existing strategy, including further expansion of its parcel locker network and consumer centric digital solutions.
InPost Offer Terms
The offer period runs from 26 May to 27 July unless extended in line with the offer memorandum. InPost is scheduled to hold an extraordinary general meeting on 29 June to discuss the bid, giving shareholders a formal forum to weigh the proposal while the offer window is still open.
Regulatory Review Process
The consortium said regulatory clearances have already been obtained in several jurisdictions. It said the remaining review processes are expected to be completed in the second half of 2026, leaving the transaction on a longer timetable even after the current offer period closes.
For InPost, the immediate issue is whether shareholders accept a cash exit now or wait for the company to continue its expansion under the bid's stated support for its network and digital plans. The June meeting will show how much backing the offer has before the July deadline.
