** TNT shares expected to open sharply higher after Fedex Corp launches 4.4 bln euro (8 euros a share) bid for company

** Opening at the offer price would see TNT shares finally recover the steep losses it suffered when Fedex' U.S. rival UPS dropped its bid for TNT in Jan 2013 after EU regulators blocked deal link: http://reut.rs/1FhmFcB

** PostNL (Hanover: TNTC.HA - news) , TNT's largest shareholder, said it would tender its 14.7 pct stake in TNT to the FedEx offer. PostNL shares called up 15 pct

** Royal Mail (LSE: RMG.L - news) and Deutsche Post (LSE: 0H3Q.L - news) both seen up 2 pct (RM (LSE: RM.L - news) : vikram.subhedar.thomsonreuters.com@reuters.net)
