InPost is acquired by a consortium for 7.8 billion euros

An acquisition has taken place involving InPost, with shareholders expressing a desire to sell 89.81 percent of the company's equity. A total of 448.98 million shares were submitted for the takeover. This result surpasses the minimum acceptance threshold, which was set at a level of at least 80 percent.

With this achievement, the offer for the sale of shares has been deemed unconditional and irrevocable. The transaction settlement is scheduled for September 30. The buyout price in the offer was established at 15.60 euros per share.

Shareholders of InPost who have not yet responded to the offer have been granted additional time to make their decisions. They can submit their shares for sale during an extended period, which expires on October 7. The announcement of the final results of the entire offer will occur no later than three working days after this date, by October 12 at the latest.

The acquiring consortium consists of four entities: Advent International (holding 37 percent of shares), FedEx Corporation (37 percent), A&R Investments owned by Rafał Brzoska (16 percent), and PPF Group (10 percent). The entire transaction values the Polish company at 7.8 billion euros, approximately 33 billion zlotys.

Following the completion of the acquisition and changes in the shareholding structure, InPost will maintain full operational independence and its existing business profile. The founder of the company, Rafał Brzoska, will retain the position of CEO. The acquisition has already received the necessary regulatory approvals, including the final required decision from the Vietnamese authority issued on August 28.

Achieving nearly 90 percent of the shares allows the consortium to initiate the procedure for withdrawing the company's securities from trading on the Amsterdam exchange, where InPost has been listed since its debut in 2021. MamStartup reported the story.
