Summary
XPO refinanced its term loan debt with $885 million in new facilities, extending maturities from the existing Term B structure to 2029 and 2031. The $500 million Term A facility matures in May 2029, while the $385 million Term B-4 facility extends to February 2031.
The combined proceeds retire the prior Term B debt and cover transaction costs, improving XPO's maturity ladder and providing additional runway before principal repayment. The Term A facility introduces financial covenants that warrant monitoring: XPO must maintain a maximum 3.00x secured net leverage ratio and minimum 2.00x interest coverage. Covenant violations could accelerate all amounts due under the facility.
However, the structure includes a fall-away provision—if XPO achieves investment grade ratings from two agencies, the subsidiary guarantees and collateral liens release automatically, converting the debt to unsecured status. This creates an incentive for credit improvement and reduces structural subordination risk for equity holders as the balance sheet strengthens.

Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company incurred a new tranche of Term B-4 loans (the “2026 Term Loan B Facility”) in an initial aggregate principal amount of $385 million. The proceeds of the 2026 Term Loan B Facility, together with the proceeds from the Term Loan A Credit Facility (as defined below) will be used to refinance all of the indebtedness under the Existing Term Loan B Credit Agreement.
XPO borrowed $385 million under a new Term B-4 loan facility maturing February 1, 2031. The proceeds, combined with the new Term A facility, will refinance the existing Term Loan B debt. The facility bears interest at ABR plus 0.50% or Term SOFR plus 1.50%, with a 0.125% rate reduction available after November 2026 if the leverage ratio falls to 1.21x or below.

The Term Loan A Credit Agreement provides for, among other things, a senior secured term loan A facility in an initial aggregate amount of $500 million (the “Term Loan A Credit Facility”), which term loans (the “Term A Loans”) will be drawn in full by the Company on the Closing Date. The proceeds of the Term A Loans under the Term Loan A Credit Facility shall be used to repay in part the outstanding loans under the Existing Term Loan B Credit Agreement and to pay any transaction costs related to the Amendment and the Term Loan A Credit Agreement.
XPO entered into a new $500 million Term A facility maturing May 29, 2029, drawn in full on closing. The proceeds partially repay the existing Term Loan B debt and cover transaction costs. The maturity may spring forward to 91 days before the 2028 Notes maturity unless those notes are reduced to $350 million or less, or liquidity exceeds the outstanding 2028 Notes balance.

Upon the occurrence of a Fall-Away Event (as defined below), each of the Guarantors shall be automatically released from its guarantee of the Term Loan A Credit Facility and all liens securing the Term Loan A Credit Facility will be released.
The Term A facility includes a covenant fall-away provision: if XPO achieves investment grade ratings from at least two agencies, subsidiary guarantees and collateral liens securing the facility are automatically released. This provides a path to unsecured status as credit quality improves.

The 2026 Term Loan B Facility is subject to amortization of principal, payable in quarterly installments on the last business day of each fiscal quarter, equal to 1% of the original principal amount of the term loans under the 2026 Term Loan B Facility per annum, which amortization amounts are reduced by prepayments of term loans.
The Term B facility requires 1% annual amortization paid quarterly, while the Term A facility requires 5% annual amortization starting two years after closing. Both amortization schedules are reduced by voluntary prepayments, providing flexibility in debt management.
