Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This communication contains forward-looking statements. Statements
that are not historical facts, including statements about beliefs, expectations, targets or goals, the expected timing of the closing
of the proposed acquisition, the anticipated benefits of the proposed acquisition, including synergies, and expected future financial
position, total addressable market, positions in building product verticals and results of operations, are forward-looking statements.
These statements are based on plans, estimates, expectations and/or goals at the time the statements are made, and readers should not
place undue reliance on them. In some cases, readers can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terms such
as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “opportunity,” “intend,”
“plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,”
“target,” “goal,” or “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terms. Forward-looking
statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties and readers are cautioned that a number of important factors could cause actual results
to differ materially from those contained in any such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those described herein include, among others: (i) the risk that the proposed acquisition of TopBuild may not be completed on the
anticipated terms in a timely manner or at all; (ii) the failure to satisfy any of the conditions to the consummation of the proposed
acquisition, including the risk that the required stockholder approvals may not be obtained; (iii) the effect of the pendency of the proposed
acquisition on each of QXO’s and TopBuild’s business relationships with employees, customers, or suppliers, or on operating
results or the businesses generally; (iv) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance or condition that could give rise
to the termination of the acquisition agreement for TopBuild, including circumstances that require the payment of a termination fee; (v)
the possibility that the proposed acquisition may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected
factors or events, significant transaction costs or unknown liabilities; (vi) potential litigation and/or regulatory action relating to
the proposed acquisition; (vii) the risk that the anticipated benefits of the proposed acquisition may not be fully realized or may take
longer to realize than expected; (viii) the impacts of legislative, regulatory, economic, competitive or technological changes; (ix) QXO’s
ability to finance the proposed acquisition; (x) unknown liabilities and uncertainties regarding general economic, market sector, competitive,
legal, regulatory, tax and geopolitical conditions; and (xi) those risks and uncertainties set forth in QXO’s and TopBuild’s
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including each company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2025 and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Forward-looking statements should not be relied
on as predictions of future events, and these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. Forward-looking statements herein
speak only as of the date each statement is made. Neither QXO nor TopBuild undertakes any obligation to update any of these statements
in light of new information or future events, except to the extent required by applicable law.
