Key Changes
-
high
TopBuild amended its 2032 and 2034 senior notes to eliminate change-of-control provisions, removing noteholders' right to sell bonds back at par when the QXO merger closes.
Item 8.01 view on EDGAR → -
high
Amendments strip away substantially all restrictive covenants and most default triggers, leaving only payment defaults. This gives QXO near-total operational freedom post-acquisition.
Item 8.01 view on EDGAR → -
medium
Majority noteholders consented to these changes by June 11 deadline as part of QXO's concurrent tender offer and consent solicitation launched May 29, 2026.
Item 8.01 view on EDGAR → -
high
Amendments become operative only after QXO accepts tendered notes for purchase, pays tendering holders, and the merger closes. Original protections remain until all conditions met.
Item 8.01 view on EDGAR →
Summary
TopBuild has executed supplemental indentures that fundamentally weaken protections for holders of its 4.125% notes due 2032 and 5.625% notes due 2034. The amendments eliminate the change-of-control provision that would have required TopBuild to offer to repurchase bonds at par when QXO's acquisition closes, and strip away nearly all restrictive covenants that previously limited the company's financial flexibility.
While majority noteholders approved these changes through a consent solicitation tied to QXO's tender offer, the amendments represent a significant transfer of risk from the acquirer to remaining bondholders who don't tender. Retail investors holding TopBuild equity should understand this is standard M&A mechanics—QXO is clearing the path for operational integration by removing debt constraints.
The amendments only take effect after the merger closes and tendered notes are purchased. Watch whether QXO successfully tenders a large portion of the outstanding notes; if most bondholders tender, it signals confidence in QXO's creditworthiness. If tender participation is low despite the consent, remaining bondholders will hold weaker instruments under new ownership.

On June 11, 2026, TopBuild Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), entered into (i) the Third Supplemental Indenture (the “2032 Notes Supplemental Indenture”) to the Indenture, dated as of October 14, 2021 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “2032 Notes Indenture”), among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and the Trustee, governing the Company’s 4.125% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes”) and (ii) the First Supplemental Indenture (together with the 2032 Notes Supplemental Indenture, the “Supplemental Indentures”) to the Indenture, dated as of September 25, 2025 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified and, together with the 2032 Notes Indenture, the “Indentures”), among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and the Trustee, governing the Company’s 5.625% Senior Notes due 2034
TopBuild executed supplemental indentures modifying the terms of its 4.125% Senior Notes due 2032 and 5.625% Senior Notes due 2034. These amendments were entered into with U.S. Bank Trust Company as trustee and follow a consent solicitation process from noteholders.

The Supplemental Indentures provide for amendments (the “Amendments”) to the respective Indentures and Notes that will (i) eliminate the requirement to make a “Change of Control Offer” (as defined in the applicable Indenture) for the related Notes in connection with the previously announced acquisition of the Company pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 18, 2026, among the Company, QXO, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“QXO”), Titanium MergerCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of QXO (the “Offeror”), and Titanium MergerCo 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of QXO, and future transactions
The amendments eliminate the requirement for TopBuild to make a change-of-control offer to noteholders in connection with the pending QXO acquisition announced April 18, 2026. This removes a key bondholder protection that would have allowed them to put their bonds back to the company at par upon the merger closing.

(ii) eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants in the applicable Indenture and the Notes, (iii) eliminate certain conditions to legal defeasance and covenant defeasance in the applicable Indenture and the Notes and (iv) eliminate all events of default other than events of default relating to the failure to pay principal of and interest on the Notes.
The amendments strip away substantially all restrictive covenants that previously limited TopBuild's financial and operational flexibility, and eliminate most events of default except for failure to pay principal and interest. This significantly reduces bondholder protections and gives the company and its future acquirer much greater operational freedom.

Holders of a majority of the principal amount of each series of notes consented to these amendments by the June 11, 2026 deadline as part of QXO's tender offers and consent solicitations. The consent solicitation was described in the Offer to Purchase dated May 29, 2026.
