FedEx Agrees to Acquire TNT Express in $4.8 Billion Deal

nytimes.com - LONDON — The FedEx Corporation said on Tuesday that it had agreed to acquire the Dutch delivery company TNT Express in a $4.8 billion deal that would greatly expand the American delivery giant’s presence in Europe.

The all-cash deal would give FedEx access to TNT’s extensive road delivery network and create what the companies said would be a third strong player to compete in Europe with DHL Express of Germany and United Parcel Service.

The deal comes less than two years after European regulators blocked a bid for TNT by UPS over concerns that it would decrease competition and increase prices.
