QXO to Ring Opening Bell at New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday, April 30

QXO, Inc. (NYSE: QXO) today announced it has completed its previously disclosed acquisition of Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc., for $124.35 per share, valuing the transaction at approximately $11 billion. The transaction makes QXO the largest publicly traded distributor of roofing, waterproofing, and complementary building products in the United States. To mark the milestone, QXO will ring the Opening Bell at the New York Stock Exchange tomorrow.

“Acquiring Beacon is a major step forward in our strategy to make QXO the leading tech-enabled company in the $800 billion building products distribution industry,” said Brad Jacobs, chairman and chief executive officer of QXO. “We’re excited to welcome Beacon’s talented team and, together, apply our proven playbook to accelerate growth, expand margins, and create an unmatched customer experience.”

Completion of Tender Offer and Subsequent Merger

The tender offer for all the outstanding shares of Beacon common stock expired at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on April 28, 2025. Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary and paying agent for the tender offer, has reported that 44,835,447 shares have been validly tendered and not withdrawn, representing approximately 72.06% of the issued and outstanding shares. All of the conditions to consummate the tender offer have been satisfied. On April 29, 2025, QXO accepted for payment, and will promptly pay for, all shares validly tendered pursuant to the tender offer and not properly withdrawn. After completing the tender offer, QXO acquired the remaining outstanding Beacon shares through a second-step merger. Beacon shareholders who had not already tendered their shares are entitled to receive $124.35 per share in cash for each share of Beacon common stock owned.

With the acquisition complete, Beacon is now a wholly owned subsidiary of QXO, and its shares ceased trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market before the opening of the market on April 29, 2025.

In conjunction with the acquisition's completion, QXO has also closed its previously announced $830 million equity private placement.

Advisors

Morgan Stanley acted as lead financial advisor to QXO. QXO was also advised by Goldman Sachs, Citi, Centerview, Credit Agricole, Wells Fargo and Mizuho. Paul, Weiss acted as lead legal counsel to QXO, with Wachtell Lipton providing additional legal advice.
