Insights

Shareholder approvals clear major hurdles for QXO’s TopBuild acquisition.

The special meeting results show strong investor support for QXO’s acquisition strategy. Stockholders approved issuing QXO common shares as merger consideration and doubling authorized common shares from 2,000,000,000 to 4,000,000,000, which facilitates the all‑stock component of the TopBuild transaction.

Turnout was high, with 70.44% of total voting power represented and over 724 million votes cast in favor of the share issuance. A joint press release notes that about 99% of votes cast supported this proposal, while TopBuild stockholders also adopted the merger agreement. The deal is expected to close on or about July 1, 2026, assuming customary conditions are met.

Strategically, combining QXO, a large distributor of roofing, waterproofing, and building materials, with TopBuild, a major insulation distributor and installer, would further expand QXO’s footprint in the building products distribution market. Future disclosures may detail integration progress, realized synergies, and any updates to QXO’s long‑term revenue targets.

Agreement and Plan of Merger financial
"QXO entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with TopBuild and merger subsidiaries."
An Agreement and Plan of Merger is a formal document where two companies agree to combine into one, outlining how the process will happen. It’s like a step-by-step plan for merging, and it matters because it shows both sides have agreed on the details before the official transition takes place.
Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock financial
"There were 1,000,000 shares of Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock issued and outstanding."
A convertible perpetual preferred stock is a hybrid security that pays regular fixed dividends like a bond but has no set maturity date, meaning the company does not have to repay the principal. It can be converted into common shares under specified terms, which matters to investors because it provides steady income and higher claim priority in a payout, while also carrying the risk of future dilution of common shares if conversion occurs.
Series C Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock financial
"There were 200,000 shares of Series C Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock issued and outstanding."
A Series C convertible perpetual preferred share is a specific class of company stock that pays priority dividends and sits ahead of common shares for payouts, can be swapped into common equity under set terms, and has no fixed maturity date so it does not automatically expire or get repaid. Investors care because it offers steadier income and downside protection compared with common stock, but conversion can dilute existing shareholders and the perpetual feature means the company isn’t obliged to repay principal like a bond.
special meeting of stockholders financial
"On June 29, 2026, QXO held a virtual special meeting of its stockholders."
A special meeting of stockholders is an unscheduled gathering called to let shareholders vote on specific, often urgent company decisions—like mergers, major asset sales, changes to the board, or amendments to governing rules. Think of it as an emergency town hall where owners cast ballots in person or by mail/online; outcomes can materially change a company’s strategy, control or value, so investors pay close attention and may need to vote or adjust holdings accordingly.
forward-looking statements financial
"This communication contains forward-looking statements."
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
customary closing conditions financial
"The transaction is expected to close on or about July 1, 2026, provided that customary closing conditions are satisfied."
"Customary closing conditions" are standard rules or checks that must be met before a business deal can be finalized, like making sure all paperwork is in order or that certain approvals are obtained. They matter because they help protect both parties, ensuring everything is in place and reducing the risk of surprises or problems after the deal is closed.

Item 5.07Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

As previously announced, on April 18, 2026, QXO, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“QXO”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with TopBuild Corp., a Delaware corporation (“TopBuild”), Titanium MergerCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of QXO (“Titanium Merger Sub”), and Titanium MergerCo 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of QXO (“Forward Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary conditions set forth therein, (i) Titanium Merger Sub will merge with and into TopBuild (the “Titanium Merger”), with TopBuild surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of QXO, and (ii) immediately following the Titanium Merger, TopBuild will merge with and into Forward Merger Sub (the “Forward Merger” and, together with the Titanium Merger, the “Merger”), with Forward Merger Sub surviving the Forward Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of QXO.

 

On June 29, 2026, QXO held a virtual special meeting of its stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to vote upon (i) a proposal to approve the issuance of shares of QXO’s common stock, par value of $0.00001 per share (“Common Stock”), constituting the stock consideration to be issued to stockholders of TopBuild in the Titanium Merger as contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “QXO Share Issuance Proposal”) and (ii) a proposal to approve an amendment of QXO’s fifth amended and restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 2,000,000,000 to 4,000,000,000 (the “QXO Charter Amendment Proposal”). Prior to the Special Meeting, QXO filed a definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus (the “Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 29, 2026. The Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus describes the Special Meeting, the QXO Share Issuance Proposal, the QXO Charter Amendment Proposal, the Merger and related information and was first mailed to QXO stockholders on or about May 29, 2026.

 

As of the close of business on May 26, 2026, the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, there were 725,305,345 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, with each share of Common Stock being entitled to one vote, 1,000,000 shares of Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value of $0.001 per share (“Convertible Preferred Stock”), issued and outstanding, with each share of Convertible Preferred Stock being entitled to approximately 219 votes (representing 219,010,074 votes) and 200,000 shares of Series C Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series C Preferred Stock”), issued and outstanding, with each share of Series C Preferred Stock being entitled to approximately 433 votes (representing 86,645,697 votes). In total, 1,030,961,116 votes were eligible to be cast at the Special Meeting based on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, constituting all of the outstanding voting securities of the Company.

 

At the Special Meeting, the holders of 502,788,154 shares of Common Stock, 946,825 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and 37,129 shares of Series C Preferred Stock representing 70.44% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, were represented in person or by proxy constituting a quorum.

 

The final voting results for the proposals voted on at the Special Meeting are as follows:

 

QXO Share Issuance Proposal:

 

QXO’s stockholders approved the QXO Share Issuance Proposal as follows:

 

Votes For   Votes Against   Votes Abstained
724,999,647   1,005,727   232,333

 

QXO Charter Amendment Proposal:

 

QXO’s stockholders approved the QXO Charter Amendment Proposal as follows:

 

Votes For   Votes Against   Votes Abstained
722,439,916   3,503,259   294,532

 

 

 

 

In connection with the Special Meeting, QXO also solicited proxies with respect to the approval of one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting to a later date or time, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there were not sufficient votes to approve the QXO Share Issuance Proposal (the “QXO Adjournment Proposal”). As there were sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the QXO Share Issuance Proposal, the QXO Adjournment Proposal was unnecessary and such proposal was not submitted to the stockholders for approval at the Special Meeting.

 

Item 7.01Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On June 29, 2026, QXO and TopBuild issued a joint press release announcing the final results of the voting at their respective special meetings of stockholders each held on June 29, 2026.
