Rhea-AI Filing Summary

XPO, Inc. entered into an eleventh amendment to its existing Term Loan B credit agreement and a new senior secured Term Loan A facility to refinance outstanding term debt. The company added a new $385 million Term Loan B-4 tranche maturing on February 1, 2031 and a $500 million Term Loan A facility maturing on May 29, 2029, with both secured on a pari passu basis alongside its revolving credit facility.

The new loans are guaranteed by wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries, include quarterly principal amortization, and bear interest at ABR or Term SOFR plus stated margins that can step down by 0.125% if leverage ratio targets are met after late 2026. The Term Loan A facility adds financial maintenance covenants, including leverage and interest coverage tests, and certain covenants and guarantees may fall away if XPO achieves investment grade ratings from at least two rating agencies.

Insights

XPO refinances term debt with new B-4 and Term A facilities, adding leverage tests and potential margin step-downs.

XPO replaces its existing Term Loan B debt with a $385 million Term Loan B-4 facility and a $500 million Term Loan A facility. Both are senior secured, pari passu with the revolving credit facility, and backed by guarantees from wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries, which preserves a secured, covenant-heavy structure.

The loans introduce scheduled amortization and floating-rate interest based on ABR or Term SOFR with additional margins that can decrease by 0.125% if defined leverage ratios are achieved after late 2026. The Term Loan A agreement also adds financial maintenance covenants on secured and total net leverage, plus an interest coverage ratio, creating ongoing compliance requirements.

Certain covenants and guarantees may fall away once XPO attains investment grade ratings from at least two agencies, which would reduce restrictions and collateralization at that point. Until then, failure to meet covenants could cause events of default, allowing lenders to accelerate amounts outstanding, so ongoing leverage and coverage metrics will be central to future credit flexibility.

Term Loan B Facility financial
"Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company incurred a new tranche of Term B-4 loans (the “2026 Term Loan B Facility”) in an initial aggregate principal amount of $385 million."
A Term Loan B facility is a large, multi‑year loan that a company borrows from banks or institutional investors and repays on a fixed schedule, often with smaller regular payments and a larger final payment. Think of it like a commercial mortgage for a business; it matters to investors because it changes the company’s interest costs, cash flow and financial risk — affecting its ability to pay dividends, invest in growth or meet debt obligations.
Term Loan A Credit Facility financial
"The Term Loan A Credit Agreement provides for, among other things, a senior secured term loan A facility in an initial aggregate amount of $500 million (the “Term Loan A Credit Facility”)"
A term loan is a form of credit facility where a lender gives a borrower a fixed sum that is repaid over a set schedule with regular principal and interest payments and a defined maturity date. For investors, term loans show how a company funds long‑term needs, affect its future cash flow and debt levels, and signal credit risk and borrowing cost—like a mortgage for a specific purchase.
pari passu financial
"The liens securing the 2026 Term Loan B Facility are pari passu with the liens securing the Term Loan A Credit Facility and the Company’s existing revolving credit facility."
An instruction that different claims, securities, or creditors are treated equally and share rights or payments on the same priority level. For investors, it means their position will be paid or have voting power alongside others in the same class rather than being favored or subordinated—think of several people standing in one bus line who all get on together rather than some cutting ahead. That parity affects expected recovery in reorganizations, dividend order, and relative risk.
Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio financial
"prior to the occurrence of a Fall-Away Event, a Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Term Loan A Credit Agreement) of not greater than 3.00 to 1.00"
Interest Coverage Ratio financial
"In addition, the Term Loan A Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain ... an Interest Coverage Ratio of not less than 2.00 to 1.00."
A measure of how easily a company can pay the interest on its debt, calculated by comparing the earnings it generates from operations to the interest it owes. It matters to investors because a higher ratio means the company can comfortably meet interest payments — like having several paychecks set aside to cover your rent — while a low ratio signals greater risk of missed payments or financial strain.
Fall-Away Event financial
"Upon the occurrence of a Fall-Away Event (as defined below), each of the Guarantors shall be automatically released from its guarantee of the Term Loan A Credit Facility"

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Eleventh Amendment to Term Loan Credit Agreement

 

On May 29, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), XPO, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into that certain Amendment No. 11 to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”), by and among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., in its capacity as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Administrative Agent”), amending that certain Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of October 30, 2015 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the effectiveness of the Amendment, the “Existing Term Loan B Credit Agreement” and, as amended by the Amendment, the “Amended Term Loan B Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, its subsidiaries from time to time party thereto, as guarantors, the lenders from time to time party thereto and the Administrative Agent. Capitalized terms used in this section of Item 1.01 but not defined herein have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Amendment or the Amended Term Loan B Credit Agreement, as applicable.

 

Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company incurred a new tranche of Term B-4 loans (the “2026 Term Loan B Facility”) in an initial aggregate principal amount of $385 million. The proceeds of the 2026 Term Loan B Facility, together with the proceeds from the Term Loan A Credit Facility (as defined below) will be used to refinance all of the indebtedness under the Existing Term Loan B Credit Agreement.

 

The loans under the 2026 Term Loan B Facility will mature on February 1, 2031. The 2026 Term Loan B Facility is guaranteed, subject to customary exceptions, by all of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries (such subsidiaries, the “Guarantors”), and are secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of the Guarantors, in each case, subject to customary exceptions. The liens securing the 2026 Term Loan B Facility are pari passu with the liens securing the Term Loan A Credit Facility and the Company’s existing revolving credit facility.

 

The 2026 Term Loan B Facility is subject to amortization of principal, payable in quarterly installments on the last business day of each fiscal quarter, equal to 1% of the original principal amount of the term loans under the 2026 Term Loan B Facility per annum, which amortization amounts are reduced by prepayments of term loans.

 

The 2026 Term Loan B Facility bears interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either ABR or Term SOFR plus (i) in the case of ABR Loans, 0.50% or, (ii) in the case of Term SOFR Loans, 1.50%, which, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), after November 29, 2026, shall be reduced by 0.125% upon the achievement of a Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Term Loan B Credit Agreement) of less than or equal to 1.21 to 1.00.

 

The Amended Term Loan B Credit Agreement contains customary mandatory prepayment requirements, representations and warranties, events of default, reporting and other affirmative covenants and negative covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, investments, dividends, repayments of junior financings and asset sales, in each case subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. Failure to comply with these covenants and restrictions could result in an event of default under the Amended Term Loan B Credit Agreement. In such an event, all amounts outstanding under the Amended Term Loan B Credit Agreement, together with any accrued interest, could then be declared immediately due and payable.

 

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.

 

Term Loan A Credit Agreement

 

On the Closing Date, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Term Loan A Credit Agreement, by and among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, the lenders party thereto from time to time and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders (the “Term Loan A Credit Agreement”).

 

 

 

 

The Term Loan A Credit Agreement provides for, among other things, a senior secured term loan A facility in an initial aggregate amount of $500 million (the “Term Loan A Credit Facility”), which term loans (the “Term A Loans”) will be drawn in full by the Company on the Closing Date. The proceeds of the Term A Loans under the Term Loan A Credit Facility shall be used to repay in part the outstanding loans under the Existing Term Loan B Credit Agreement and to pay any transaction costs related to the Amendment and the Term Loan A Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this section of Item 1.01 but not previously defined herein have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Term Loan A Credit Agreement.

 

The maturity date of the Term Loan A Credit Facility is May 29, 2029; which maturity date may spring to the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of the Company’s 6.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 issued on May 24, 2023 in an initial aggregate principal amount of $830 million (the “2028 Notes”) unless (x) the aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes outstanding on such date is less than or equal to $350 million or (y) Liquidity (as defined in the Term Loan A Credit Agreement) on such date is greater than or equal to the aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes outstanding on such date. The Term Loan A Credit Facility is guaranteed, subject to customary exceptions, by all of the Guarantors, and is secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of the Guarantors, in each case, subject to customary exceptions. The liens securing the Term Loan A Credit Facility are pari passu with the liens securing the 2026 Term Loan B Facility and the Company’s existing revolving credit facility. Upon the occurrence of a Fall-Away Event (as defined below), each of the Guarantors shall be automatically released from its guarantee of the Term Loan A Credit Facility and all liens securing the Term Loan A Credit Facility will be released.

 

The Term Loan A Credit Facility is subject to amortization of principal, payable in quarterly installments on the last business day of each fiscal quarter, commencing with the first fiscal quarter ending after the date that is two years after the Closing Date, equal to 5% of the original principal amount of the term loans under the Term Loan A Credit Facility per annum, which amortization amounts are reduced by prepayments of term loans.

 

The Term A Loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either Term SOFR or the Base Rate plus (i) in the case of ABR Loans, 0.25% or, (ii) in the case of Term SOFR Loans, 1.25%, which, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), on or after September 30, 2026, shall be reduced by 0.125% upon the achievement of a Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Term Loan A Credit Agreement) of less than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00.

 

The Term Loan A Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, reporting and other affirmative covenants and negative covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, investments, dividends, repayments of junior financings and asset sales, in each case subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. Certain covenants under the Term Loan A Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents will also terminate or be amended, on the terms set forth in the Term Loan A Credit Agreement, upon, among other things, the Company’s achievement of investment grade ratings from at least two rating agencies (a “Fall-Away Event”). In addition, the Term Loan A Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain, (i) (x) prior to the occurrence of a Fall-Away Event, a Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Term Loan A Credit Agreement) of not greater than 3.00 to 1.00 (which may step up to 3.50 to 1.00 for four fiscal quarters in the event of the consummation of certain material acquisitions) or (y) after the occurrence of a Fall-Away Event, a Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio of 4.00 to 1.00 and (ii) an Interest Coverage Ratio of not less than 2.00 to 1.00. Failure to comply with the applicable covenants and restrictions could result in an event of default under the Term Loan A Credit Agreement. In such an event, amounts outstanding under the Term Loan A Credit Agreement, together with any accrued interest, could then be declared immediately due and payable.

 

The foregoing description of the Term Loan A Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Term Loan A Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.

FAQ

What new debt facilities did XPO (XPO) put in place on May 29, 2026?

XPO added a new $385 million Term Loan B-4 facility and a $500 million senior secured Term Loan A facility. Both are guaranteed by wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries and secured on a pari passu basis with the company’s existing revolving credit facility.

How will XPO use the proceeds from its new Term Loan B-4 and Term Loan A facilities?

XPO will use the $385 million Term Loan B-4 and $500 million Term Loan A proceeds to refinance all loans outstanding under its existing Term Loan B credit agreement and pay related transaction costs, effectively replacing earlier secured term debt with the updated loan structures.

What are the maturities of XPO’s new Term Loan B-4 and Term Loan A facilities?

The new Term Loan B-4 facility matures on February 1, 2031, while the Term Loan A facility matures on May 29, 2029. The Term Loan A maturity may spring earlier, to 91 days before the 2028 notes mature, if specific liquidity or note-balance conditions are not met.

What interest rates apply to XPO’s new term loans, and can margins change?

The Term Loan B-4 bears interest at ABR plus 0.50% or Term SOFR plus 1.50%. The Term Loan A bears interest at the Base Rate plus 0.25% or Term SOFR plus 1.25%. In each case, margins can step down by 0.125% after late 2026 if leverage ratios meet defined thresholds.

What leverage and coverage covenants are included in XPO’s Term Loan A Credit Agreement?

Before a Fall-Away Event, XPO must keep a Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio at or below 3.00 to 1.00, with a possible step-up to 3.50 to 1.00 for certain acquisitions, and maintain an Interest Coverage Ratio of at least 2.00 to 1.00, or higher total leverage limits after a Fall-Away Event.

What is a Fall-Away Event under XPO’s Term Loan A Credit Agreement?

A Fall-Away Event occurs when XPO achieves investment grade ratings from at least two rating agencies. After this, certain covenants terminate or are amended, and all guarantees and liens securing the Term Loan A facility are released, reducing collateral and covenant burdens on the company.
