Xerox (NASDAQ: XRX) secures $450M IP-backed financing in joint venture with TPG

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Xerox Holdings Corporation entered into a new joint venture with investors led by TPG to monetize certain Xerox intellectual property, including the Xerox trademarks. The structure combines $405,000,000 of senior secured term loans and $45,000,000 of Class A Units issued by XRX Brandco Holdings LLC, with proceeds distributed to Xerox.

The company plans to use this $450,000,000 of financing for general corporate purposes such as augmenting liquidity, accelerating its Reinvention strategy and Lexmark integration, and potentially redeeming or repaying debt. Xerox contributed specified IP into the joint venture in exchange for equity and then licensed the IP back under a Shared Services and License Agreement.

Under that agreement, Xerox and selected subsidiaries retain worldwide, royalty-bearing rights to use the contributed IP, paying IPCo a 2.0% royalty on specified consolidated revenue. The term loans carry interest at a base rate plus 7.125% or term SOFR plus 8.125%, amortize at 4.50% per year, and mature five years after closing.

Insights

Credit & capital structure analyst

Xerox raises $450M against IP to boost liquidity and fund its Reinvention strategy.

Xerox has formed an IP-focused joint venture with investors led by TPG, combining $405,000,000 of senior secured term loans and $45,000,000 of Class A Units. The proceeds are distributed to Xerox and earmarked for general corporate purposes, including liquidity support, its Reinvention program, and potential debt redemption or repayment.

The financing is structured at the joint-venture level, with XRX Brandco Holdings LLC as borrower and XRX Brandco LLC as guarantor. The term loans bear interest at either a base rate plus 7.125% or term SOFR plus 8.125%, amortize 4.50% per year, and mature five years after the February 17, 2026 closing. Obligations are secured by substantially all assets of the IP holding entities.

A Shared Services and License Agreement keeps Xerox’s operational continuity intact. Xerox and certain subsidiaries receive a worldwide license to the contributed IP, while agreeing to pay a 2.0% royalty on specified consolidated revenue. Related guarantees and covenants impose asset coverage tests and limit additional indebtedness and liens at certain subsidiaries, meaning future flexibility will need to be managed within these constraints.

Xerox Raises $450 Million for New Joint Venture to

Strengthen Balance Sheet and Support Long-Term Strategy

NORWALK, Conn., Feb. 17, 2026 — Xerox Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: XRX) (“Xerox” or the “Company”) today announced the formation and capitalization of a new joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) between Xerox and TPG, a leading global alternative asset management firm. The Joint Venture is structured as an intellectual property holding and licensing entity designed to manage, protect, and monetize certain Xerox IP assets.

The Joint Venture has raised $450 million in aggregate principal amount of financing led by TPG’s credit business, TPG Credit, with participation from other investors, consisting of senior secured term loans and preferred equity (the “Joint Venture Financing”). The proceeds of the Joint Venture Financing were distributed to Xerox and are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including augmenting liquidity, accelerating the Company’s Reinvention (including the Lexmark integration), and opportunistically addressing the Company’s capital structure over time, which may include the redemption or repayment of debt.

In connection with the Joint Venture Financing, certain subsidiaries of Xerox contributed specific intellectual property assets to the Joint Venture in exchange for equity interests. As part of this structure, Xerox and the Joint Venture entered into a long-term shared services and license agreement that preserves the Company’s full, uninterrupted ability to use the Xerox name, trademark, and other transferred IP across all global operations, ensuring continuity in how Xerox presents itself and serves clients.

“This financing strengthens our balance sheet and completes the liquidity-enhancing actions we began in the fall, with the objective of ensuring Xerox is well-capitalized and positioned to advance our long-term strategy,” said Louie Pastor, president and chief operating officer at Xerox. “The acquisitions of ITsavvy and Lexmark created a diversified and scaled platform that positions us to deliver meaningful value for our clients, partners, and shareholders, starting with our guidance of more than $200 million in expected operating income growth in 2026. The Joint Venture builds on these efforts and enables Xerox to unlock additional value from our well recognized trademark and intellectual property assets. We look forward to partnering with TPG and leveraging their support as we continue executing this disciplined transformation.”

“TPG is pleased to be a capital partner to Xerox and have the opportunity to help strengthen its balance sheet and support the execution of its long-term growth strategy,” said Joe Lenz, Partner and Co-Head of Research, TPG Credit Solutions.
