Czech Royal Mail buyer to make offer for all staff shares by post
ShareShareShareShareShare

More than 100,000 former and current Royal Mail staff will this week be asked to sell their shares to a Czech billionaire.

On Wednesday morning, Daniel Kretinsky’s investment group, which wants to buy Royal Mail’s parent company, will publish its formal offer online and send it by post.

Mr Kretinsky can then formally start lobbying investors to accept the offer.

He needs the approval of shareholders of three quarters of the parent company, but this task will be made easier because he already owns 27.5% of it.

Big asset managers including Blackrock, UBS, Vanguard and Schroders own most of the other 72.5% of International Distribution Services (IDS) that Mr Kretinsky does not own.

Meanwhile, Royal Mail staff still collectively own 5.5% of the shares after qualifying staff received 600 shares in the company at the time of its privatisation in 2013.

Mr Kretinsky made his fortune in energy companies. He also has stakes in Sainsbury’s and West Ham Football Club.

The board of IDS has already recommended that shareholders big and small accept his offer of 370p per share.

This is more than the 319p it is currently trading at and substantially above the 220p it was worth before Mr Kretinsky’s first offer to buy the company.
