| Advent International, L.P. (and affiliates) | Funds managed and/or advised are part of the investor consortium |

InPost’s Core Parcel Locker Network
InPost is widely recognized for creating and rolling out its proprietary parcel locker system in Poland, branded as Paczkomat. These machines are specifically designed to work within InPost’s own network.
Paczkomat terminals have gained broad popularity, with the white, vending-style lockers visible across the country, typically located near subway stations and neighborhood stores.
Strategic Vision and Leadership Continuity
In the statement, Rafał Brzoska, CEO and founder of InPost, said, “Together, we will strengthen our network and reach more consumers with enhanced fast and flexible delivery options as we continue our objective of redefining the European e-commerce sector.”
Brzoska will continue in his role as chief executive, and he emphasized that both his position and the group’s main decision-making center will remain in Poland.
“Importantly, I remain fully committed to leading the InPost Group. Our headquarters, management team and key innovation capabilities will remain in Poland, which will continue to be the centre for implementing the group’s successful strategy,” the InPost chief executive said.
Geographic Footprint and Recent Expansion
InPost has been extending its presence beyond its domestic market. The company operates in the UK, where it acquired competitor Yodel last year, purchasing 95.5% of that company’s shares.
The group also has operations in several other European countries, overseeing parcel deliveries in Italy, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Spain and Portugal.
Shareholding Structure Before and After the Deal
Following completion of the transaction, FedEx will become a new shareholder through FCWB LLC.
Prior to the announcement of this proposed deal, InPost’s ownership was divided among PPF Group, A&R Investments – which is controlled by Brzoska – and Advent International, with a little over 50% of the company’s shares held by other shareholders.
