A Polish parcel locker company announced Friday that a massive $9 billion acquisition offer spearheaded by FedEx will accept shareholder responses between May 26 and July 27.
InPost revealed that the €7.8 billion cash proposal from a group including FedEx, Advent International, and existing InPost stakeholders has secured necessary approvals from regulators in China, Israel, Italy, Turkey, and Ukraine. The company expects the European Commission and Vietnam to finish their evaluations during the latter half of 2026.
The February announcement of this complete cash acquisition received full endorsement from InPost’s board of directors and currently has backing from 48% of company shareholders. The transaction requires approval from 80% of shares to move forward successfully.
The €15.60 per share proposal would enable the American shipping giant FedEx to strengthen its European operations while supporting the development of a major European parcel locker network, even as both companies maintain their competitive independence.
Following completion of the transaction, InPost’s stock would be removed from trading on the Euronext Amsterdam exchange.
The company plans to hold two special shareholder meetings to provide detailed information about the acquisition proposal.
