Advent International is looking to take over Polish parcel locker operator InPost SA, according to Sky News, sending the target’s stock up 26%.

The private equity firm, which owns 6.5% of InPost, is spearheading a consortium offering to buy the logistics firm, Sky News said Tuesday. The report followed an earlier statement from InPost that said the company had received a takeover proposal but didn’t identify the suitor.
