FedEx shops in Europe

TNT

The US FedEx has agreed to buy Dutch rival TNT Express, for 4.4 billion euros.

Therefore seeks to expand its activities in Europe.

FedEx is offering less than willing to pay the United Parcel Service (UPS) two years ago, a charge that was blocked by the Competition European Commission.

The two companies, FedEx and TNT Express, have a “conditional agreement” that FedEx offers eight euros per share of TNT, which assesses the Dutch company at 4.4 billion.

The offer is 33% higher than the closing price of TNT on Friday, a company that has not had an easy life on the stock market in the last 12 months, reflecting the operational difficulties in a sector with high competition – the transport sector of goods and logistics – and margins under pressure.

FedEx offer news made the shares of TNT shoot in Amsterdam stock exchange, to values close to eight euros per share offered by the US.

With experienced operational deterioration, however, by TNT, the eight euros per share just earned the endorsement of the administration of TNT.
