A consortium led by FedEx and InPost investors has agreed to buy the parcel locker company in a 7.8 billion euro ($9.2 billion) deal, with the aim of expanding InPost’s reach across Europe while giving FedEx access to its network of lockers, the companies announced on Monday.
The offer price of 15.60 euros per share represents a premium of around 17% over InPost’s close on Friday, but is below the company’s 2021 IPO price of 16 euros. Amsterdam-listed shares opened up 14%, trading at their highest levels since May 2025.
“InPost and FedEx intend to enter into commercialization agreements that should allow both companies to benefit from complementary strengths and a shared vision,” Hein Pretorius, chairman of InPost’s supervisory board, told reporters.
The two companies will not integrate their operations and will remain independent competitors, he added.
Last month, InPost had announced that it had received an indicative acquisition proposal from an unidentified party, which boosted its shares.
The company, which operates in nine countries including its home market of Poland, has one of the largest European networks of automatic parcel delivery machines. Since its listing in 2021, however, it has faced moderate market confidence, amid increased competition in the domestic market and heavy investments for rapid expansion, which ended up slowing profit growth.
