US EditionInPost agrees £6.8bn takeover by FedEx and private equity-led consortium
- Recently, InPost agreed to be bought by a consortium led by FedEx and Advent for 7.8 billion euros, with a 15.60-euro per share cash offer, about 17.3% above Friday's close.
- The consortium said the move would accelerate InPost's expansion across the UK and Europe by combining its locker network with FedEx's global logistics to meet rising e-commerce demand.
- Founded in 1999, InPost operates over 61,000 lockers and more than 33,000 pick-up and drop-off points across nine European countries, delivering 1.4 billion parcels in 2025.
- The deal is expected to close in the second half of 2026, and the firms said taking InPost private will cut listed-company costs and reduce market dependency with `no immediate costs identified`.
- Following completion, ownership will be split with FedEx and Advent holding 37% each, A&R 16%, and PPF 10%; Rafał Brzoska will retain a stake and InPost will keep its brand and Polish head office.
