XPO Logistics Announces Launch of RXO’s Notes Offering in Connection with RXO Spin-Off

GREENWICH, Conn. , Oct. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XPO Logistics, Inc. (“XPO” or the “company”) (NYSE: XPO) today announced that RXO, Inc. (“RXO”), a wholly owned subsidiary of XPO, has launched an offering of notes due 2027 (the “notes”), subject to market conditions and other customary factors, in connection with the previously announced spin-off of RXO into a separate publicly traded company (the “spin-off”). 

The notes will be issued by XPO’s wholly owned subsidiary, XPO Escrow Sub, LLC, which will, substantially concurrently with or prior to the consummation of the spin-off, merge with and into RXO, as a result of which the notes will become the direct obligations of RXO.

The notes will be offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and only to non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S. The notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from registration requirements or a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Any offers of the notes will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum.
