Offer Structure and Timing
On May 22, InPost announced that the €7.8 billion ($9 billion) takeover proposal led by FedEx, Advent International and other existing InPost investors is scheduled to run from May 26 to July 27. The Polish parcel locker operator said the offer is fully in cash and was originally unveiled in February. InPost’s board has given the transaction its unanimous support.
According to the company, shareholders representing 48% of InPost’s equity have already expressed support for the deal. The offer, however, is conditional on at least 80% of the company’s shares being tendered during the offer period.
Regulatory Approvals and Remaining Reviews
InPost reported that regulatory approvals tied to the proposed acquisition have been secured in China, Israel, Italy, Turkey and Ukraine. The company also stated that ongoing reviews by the European Commission and Vietnamese authorities are anticipated to conclude in the second half of 2026.

Strategic Rationale and Share Terms
The offer values InPost at €15.60 per share. InPost said the bid, while leaving the companies as independent competitors, would give U.S.-based FedEx an opportunity to broaden its European presence and contribute to the development of a leading parcel locker network in Europe.
Following completion of the transaction, InPost stated that its shares will be removed from listing on Euronext Amsterdam.
Shareholder Communication
InPost plans to convene two extraordinary general meetings to brief shareholders on the details of the transaction and the terms of the offer.
