A consortium led by FedEx and Advent International has successfully acquired 89.81% of InPost shares through an all-cash tender offer. The move pushes the transaction past its 80% minimum acceptance threshold.
Why it matters
The deal gives the consortium control of the parcel locker operator, which maintains operations across nine countries. Following the acquisition, InPost shares will be delisted from the Euronext Amsterdam exchange.
The acquisition values InPost at approximately €7.8 billion, with shareholders receiving a cash price of €15.60 per share.
The players
FedEx
FedEx is a global multinational courier delivery services company that led the consortium to acquire InPost.
Advent International
Advent International is a global private equity firm that partnered with FedEx to lead the acquisition of InPost.
InPost
InPost is a logistics company based in Poland known for its automated parcel locker network operating in nine countries.
The details
InPost will keep its current management team and maintain its headquarters in Poland following the takeover. The company operates its parcel locker network across nine international markets.
Timeline
The consortium agreed to the purchase in February 2026.
InPost announced the final share tender results on September 18, 2026.
The company was originally listed on the stock exchange in 2021.
Market Landscape
This acquisition marks a major transition for InPost, which had been a public entity since the 2021 IPO of InPost. This transaction effectively reverses that listing and returns the logistics company to private ownership.
Existing shareholders who tendered their stock will receive a cash payout of €15.60 per share. Customers and clients should not see immediate changes as the company intends to maintain its existing management structure and operations.
The takeaway
The return of InPost to private control highlights a trend of large logistics players consolidating infrastructure to dominate cross-border shipping. Shareholders should monitor final settlement notices regarding the payout process following the close of the tender.
