The acquisition of InPost, one of the largest business transactions in Poland, is approaching finalization. In a recent announcement, the company reported that investors have expressed their intent to sell a total of 448,981 shares, which accounts for 89.81% of the company’s capital.
This indicates that the minimum acceptance threshold of at least 80% of the shares has been met. According to the schedule, the consortium will announce by September 23 whether it deems the offer valid. The agreement to acquire InPost was reached in February 2026, with the investor consortium—comprised of Advent, FedEx, A&R, and PPF—offering to buy all InPost shares at a price of €15.60 each.
In mid-August, the European Commission granted approval for the transaction, assessing whether the merger of InPost and FedEx would harm competition in the courier and home delivery services markets. Shortly after, Vietnamese antitrust authorities also approved the acquisition. The transaction is valued at €7.8 billion, approximately 33 billion PLN.
Investor Consortium to Support InPost’s Strategy
As previously stated, InPost will retain its operational independence while maintaining its current business profile. The main operational headquarters and key management team will remain in Poland, with consortium members actively supporting further development of InPost. Rafał Brzoska will continue as the CEO.
At a price of €15.60 per share, the total valuation of all issued and outstanding shares of InPost is €7.8 billion. Reports indicate that the consortium has secured financing in the form of equity with the backing of financing banks, ensuring the deal’s closure.
The consortium members have made binding financial commitments totaling €5.9 billion, while the remainder of the transaction will be financed through long-term loans from a wide range of banks.
Additionally, the consortium is committed to supporting InPost’s strategy, including further expansion in France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, the Benelux countries, and the UK, which is the largest e-commerce market in Europe. The consortium will also support other InPost initiatives, aiming to redefine the European e-commerce sector by deepening partnerships across the entire value chain and investing further in consumer mobile offerings.
Currently, the main shareholders of InPost include PPF Group (28.75%), A&R Investments, the investment vehicle of Rafał Brzoska (12.49%), Advent International Corporation (6.50%), and Norges Bank (5.01%). Below the 5% threshold, several Polish investment funds hold stakes in InPost.
