The disclosure set forth in the second paragraph under Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 25, 2017, on July 19, 2017, XPO Logistics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into separate forward sale agreements (the “Forward Sale Agreements”) with each of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, London Branch, each in its capacity as counterparty to a Forward Sale Agreement (in such capacities, each a “Forward Counterparty”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, and each Forward Counterparty agreed to purchase, 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (or 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in the aggregate), subject to the terms and conditions of the Forward Sale Agreements. On July 25, 2018, the Company settled each of the Forward Sale Agreements with the applicable Forward Counterparty, as a result of which the Company issued 6,000,000 shares of its common stock in the aggregate and received aggregate net cash proceeds equal to approximately $351 million. Consistent with the Company’s strategy to grow its business in part through acquisitions, the Company entered into the Forward Sale Agreements to provide additional available cash for such acquisitions, among other general corporate purposes. As a part of its ordinary course treasury management activities, the Company has applied these net cash proceeds to the repayment of debt as described further below thereby reducing the Company’s overall outstanding debt and interest expense while increasing the Company’s debt capacity to finance potential future acquisitions.
On July 28, 2018 (the “Redemption Date”), the Company applied such net cash proceeds, together with cash on hand, to the redemption of $400,000,000 of the $1,600,000,000 outstanding aggregate principal amount of its 6.50% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”) issued under that certain Indenture dated as of June 9, 2015 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, and the other parties party thereto, in accordance with the optional redemption provisions contained in the Indenture. The redemption price was 103.25% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. The partial redemption of the Notes resulted in $1,200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes remaining outstanding.
