De Brauw had advised a consortium consisting of Advent, FedEx, A&R Investments and PPF on an all-cash offer for InPost S.A., a leading European e-commerce solutions enabler specialising in out-of-home delivery and automated parcel lockers. The offer values InPost at approximately EUR 7.8 billion and is unanimously recommended by InPost's executive board and supervisory board.

De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek N.V. is acting as lead legal adviser to the Consortium, together with Weil, Gotshal & Manges.

The offer price represents a 50% premium to the undisturbed share price on 2 January 2026 and 53% to the three-month volume-weighted average price before 2 January 2026. A&R Investments, PPF and several management board and supervisory board members have each committed to supporting the offer and tendering their shares in InPost. In total, approximately 48% of the shares in InPost have been irrevocably committed for tendering in the offer.

The success of the acquisition depends on shareholder approval, with a required acceptance threshold of 80%.

Post-settlement, the Consortium will be structured with Advent holding 37%, FedEx 37%, A&R 16% and PPF 10%.
