Companies: Allegro, InPost, Trustpilot

•• Allegro - Permira offers ~131m shares ($1.2bn stake) (Bloomberg, 15/06/2026)Allegro

shareholder Permira is offering about 131m shares. Permira now holds 12% of shares according

to Bloomberg.

Barclays' view. Allegro has historically dealt with private equity overhang, so this block is

helpful in effectively clearing the overhang. Otherwise, the business continues to execute well in

Poland and the new CEO's strategy is becoming evident.

•• Allegro / InPost - Letter of Intent signed between Allegro and InPost (Press Release,

18/06/2026) Allegro and InPost entered into a non‑binding Letter of Intent to establish a new

framework agreement relating to out‑of‑home delivery services. The anticipated scope includes

reduced delivery prices, a revised price indexation formula, and multi‑year volume, capacity

and service level arrangements, with the agreement expected to extend to 31 Dec'31, while

arbitration proceedings are suspended.

Barclays' view. Good outcome for Allegro, broadly consistent with our model which assumes

opex / unit reduction for Allegro in the InPost vols from 2028. But helpful for Allegro margins

going forwards.
