RXO Notes
On October 25, 2022, we completed an offering of $355 million in aggregate principal amount of notes (the “Notes”). The Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.50% per annum payable semiannually in cash in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning May 15, 2023, and mature on November 15, 2027, unless earlier repurchased or redeemed, if applicable. RXO is permitted to redeem some or all of the Notes prior to their maturity at redemption prices described in the indenture. The Notes were issued at an issue price of 98.962% of par.
Term Loan Credit Agreement
On October 18, 2022, we entered into a five-year $100 million unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan bears interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to, at RXO’s option, the alternate base rate or a rate referencing the Secured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”), in each case, plus an applicable margin calculated based on RXO’s credit ratings, payable quarterly. Beginning with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2025, the Term Loan will amortize on a quarterly basis in an amount equal to (i) 5% per annum for the first eight fiscal quarters ending on or after such date and (ii) 10% per annum for each fiscal quarter ending thereafter. The Term Loan matures on November 1, 2027.
Revolving Credit Agreement
On October 18, 2022, we entered into a five-year unsecured, multicurrency Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolver”) with initial aggregate commitments from all lenders of $500 million, of which $50 million will be available for the issuance of letters of credit. Loans under the Revolver will bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to (a) with respect to borrowings in U.S. dollars, at RXO’s option, the alternate base rate or a rate referencing the SOFR and (b) with respect to borrowings in Canadian Dollars, the reserve adjusted Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”), in each case, plus an applicable margin calculated based on RXO’s credit ratings.
Cash Distribution to XPO
Net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes and the incurrence of the Term Loan, together with cash on RXO’s balance sheet, were used to fund a net cash distribution of $604 million from RXO to XPO, in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Distribution from XPO
On November 1, 2022, XPO completed the spin-off of RXO in a transaction intended to be tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which was accomplished by the distribution of 100% of the outstanding common stock of RXO to XPO stockholders as of the close of business on October 20, 2022, the record date for the distribution. XPO stockholders received one share of RXO common stock for every share of XPO common stock held at the close of business on the record date. RXO is now a standalone publicly traded company, and, on November 1, 2022, regular-way trading of RXO’s common stock commenced on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “RXO.”
The spin-off was completed pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement and various other agreements that govern aspects of our relationship with XPO, including, but not limited to a TMA, an EMA, a TSA, and an IPLA.
The Separation and Distribution Agreement contains provisions that, among other things, relate to (i) the transfer, assumption and allocation of assets, liabilities and contracts to each of RXO and XPO as part of the spin-off, (ii) cross-indemnities principally designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities arising out of or resulting from the RXO business with RXO and to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities arising out of or resulting from XPO’s retained business with XPO, (iii) the allocation between RXO and XPO of rights and obligations under existing insurance policies with respect to occurrences prior to completion of the spin-off, and (iv) procedures governing the resolution of disputes, controversies or claims that may arise between RXO and XPO related to the separation or distribution.
Under the TSA, (i) XPO will provide RXO and certain of its affiliates, on an interim, transitional basis, various services and (ii) RXO will provide XPO and certain of its affiliates, on an interim, transitional basis, various services. The services to be provided will include, among others, employee benefits administration, information technology services, regulatory services, accounting support, general administrative services and other support services.
The TMA governs XPO’s and RXO’s rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to tax matters; including responsibility for taxes, entitlement to refunds, allocation of tax attributes, preparation of tax returns, control of tax, contests and other tax matters.
The EMA allocates assets, liabilities and responsibilities relating to employee compensation and benefit plans and programs and other related matters in connection with the spin-off.
The IPLA between an RXO subsidiary and XPO provides such RXO subsidiary licenses to certain XPO software and other intellectual property rights retained by XPO, and provides XPO licenses to certain software, patents and other intellectual property owned by RXO subsidiaries.
Stock Compensation Expense
On November 1, 2022, upon completion of the spin-off, the performance condition on certain outstanding performance-based restricted stock units became probable of occurrence, resulting in expense of $19 million, to be recorded in Transaction and integration costs in the consolidated statements of operations during the quarter ended December 31, 2022.
