PPF acquires shareholding in fast-expanding European e-commerce distribution company InPost

Together with PPF’s previous purchases of InPost shares on the open market, the Group currently holds an aggregate shareholding, representing 16.75% of the InPost share capital. 

Under the agreement with Advent, PPF has the option to buy a further 15% stake in InPost from Advent.

As a major shareholder, we are committed to contributing to the international expansion of, and value generation by, InPost, one of the most dynamic companies in its sector," said Didier Stoessel, Chief Investment Officer of PPF Group.
