RXO Launches $400 Million Senior Notes Offering

CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RXO, Inc. (NYSE: RXO) (the “Company”) today announced it is proposing to issue $400 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”) in a private offering that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The 2031 Notes will initially be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the domestic subsidiaries of the Company that are guarantors under the Company’s asset-based revolving credit facility. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the 2031 Notes to repurchase or redeem all of the Company’s outstanding 7.500% Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”), to pay related fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of indebtedness.

Additionally, the Company today issued a notice of conditional full redemption for all of the Company’s outstanding 2027 Notes on February 20, 2026 (the “Redemption Date”), at a redemption price of 101.875% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption of the 2027 Notes is conditioned on the Company receiving net proceeds from the offer and sale of newly issued debt securities of the Company in an amount sufficient to redeem in full the 2027 Notes (the “Financing Condition”). If the Financing Condition is not satisfied on or prior to the Redemption Date, the notice of conditional full redemption may be rescinded by the Company and shall be of no effect.

The 2031 Notes are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and outside the United States, only to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 2031 Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from registration requirements or a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction. This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption of the 2027 Notes.
