InPost: Takeover Bid at €15.60 per Share, a 53% Premium with €7.8 Billion at Stake
A consortium comprising Advent International, FedEx, A&R, and PPF Group announced on Friday a cash tender offer for InPost at a price of 15.60 EUR (coupon attached) per share, valuing the company at approximately 7.8 billion EUR.
Offer Conditions and Timeline
The offer represents a 53% premium over the volume-weighted average for the past three months as of January 2, 2026. The offer period will run from May 26, 2026, to July 27, 2026, unless extended. It remains conditional upon a minimum acceptance threshold of 80% of the shares and the receipt of remaining regulatory approvals. Extraordinary general meetings will be held on June 29, 2026, to inform shareholders about the transaction and allow them to vote on governance changes related to the offer, and after the declaration of unconditionality to vote on resolutions related to the post-closure split and liquidation. The completion of the transaction is expected in the second half of 2026.
Support from Management Bodies and Shareholders
The non-conflicted members of InPost’s management and supervisory boards unanimously recommend that shareholders tender their shares in the offer. Three executive members (Hein Pretorius, Michael Rouse, and Javier van Engelen), who are also shareholders, have irrevocably committed to tendering their shares and voting in favor of the resolutions. The consortium is supported by shareholders representing 48% of the outstanding shares. Regulatory approvals have already been obtained in China, Israel, Italy, Turkey, and Ukraine. Processes with the European Commission and in Vietnam are ongoing and expected to be completed in the second half of 2026.
