May 22 (Reuters) - Polish parcel locker company InPost

said on Friday that the €7.8 billion ($9 billion)

buyout offer from a consortium made up of FedEx ( FDX ), Advent

International and other InPost investors would run from May 26

to July 27.

Regulatory clearances for the deal have already been

obtained in China, Israel, Italy, Turkey and Ukraine, while

reviews by the European Commission and Vietnam are expected to

be completed in the second half of 2026, the company said in a

statement.

The all-cash takeover bid announced in February and unanimously

recommended by InPost's board is supported by 48% of

shareholders. However, for the deal to go through, 80% of shares

must be tendered.

Although the companies will remain independent competitors,

the €15.60 per share bid would allow U.S.-based FedEx ( FDX ) to expand

its reach in Europe while helping build a European parcel locker

champion.

InPost's shares would be delisted from the Euronext

Amsterdam stock exchange after the deal is closed.

Two extraordinary general meetings will be convened to

inform shareholders of the offer, InPost said.
