Release Details

GREENWICH, Conn. - August 17, 2016 - XPO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE: XPO) ("XPO") today announced the pricing of a $1.642 billion refinancing of its existing term loan agreement. The closing under the term loan is expected to occur on August 25, 2016, subject to customary closing conditions.

The term loan will be issued at par and will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 3.25%, with a 1.0% LIBOR floor, maturing on October 30, 2021. The proceeds will be used primarily to replace the company's existing $1.6 billion term loan, which bears interest at LIBOR plus 4.5%, with a 1.0% LIBOR floor. The terms of the new loan facility will otherwise be substantially consistent with the term loan being replaced.

Bradley Jacobs, chairman and chief executive officer of XPO Logistics, said, "In the past week, we've opportunistically completed $2.6 billion of debt refinancings, achieving all three of our objectives. We reduced our expected cash interest expense by approximately $40 million a year, extended the maturity dates of our debt, and increased our flexibility to pay down debt sooner. XPO recently reached a key inflection point for EBITDA and cash flow acceleration, resulting in a stronger credit profile, and this has allowed us to significantly lower our cost of capital."

Morgan Stanley served as sole arranger and bookrunner for XPO Logistics, and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz acted as legal advisor.
