QXO, Inc. 8-K

What Happened
QXO announced on July 1, 2026 that it completed its previously announced acquisition of TopBuild pursuant to the merger agreement. As part of the close, QXO issued approximately 312.5 million QXO common shares to former TopBuild holders and paid about $6.4 billion in aggregate cash consideration. Financing for the transaction included a $3.0 billion incremental term loan, proceeds from a Notes offering, issuance of 100,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and available cash. QXO also amended indentures so TopBuild and certain QXO subsidiaries now guarantee certain outstanding QXO notes.

Key Details

• Closing date: July 1, 2026; Titanium Merger Sub and Forward Merger Sub completed the two-step merger structure.
• Consideration: Former TopBuild holders elected cash or stock (≈91% elected cash); QXO issued ~312.5M shares and paid ~ $6.4B total cash consideration. Proration procedures applied to elections.
• Financing: Incremental Term Loan Facility of $3.0 billion was borrowed in full (matures July 1, 2033). Interest is elected between Term SOFR (no floor) or a base rate plus applicable margins. Scheduled quarterly amortization equals 1.0% annually of original principal; voluntary prepayments generally allowed (1.00% premium for certain repricing events within 6 months).
• Capital structure and guarantees: QXO released gross proceeds of its Notes offering to fund the deal; Subsidiary Guarantors (including TopBuild guarantors) were added under a Supplemental Indenture to guarantee the 2031 and 2034 Notes. TopBuild’s outstanding 2032 and 2034 notes were either purchased in tender offers or redeemed (redeemed at 101.125% plus accrued interest).
• Corporate governance and leadership: Alec Covington was added to QXO’s board effective at closing; Jared Kushner resigned from the board effective July 1, 2026. Madeline Otero (former TopBuild CAO) was appointed Interim Chief Accounting Officer at an initial base salary of $400,000, 65% target bonus, $600,000 target equity, and a $500,000 retention RSU award (35% vests at 6 months; 65% at 12 months).
• Series C Preferred: QXO filed an amendment increasing authorized Series C Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock from 200,000 to 300,000 shares and issued 100,000 shares as part of the financing.

Why It Matters

• Scale and strategy: The TopBuild acquisition immediately increases QXO’s scale and adds TopBuild’s business and cash flows, which is material to QXO’s growth strategy.
• Financing and leverage: The deal was financed with a large mix of debt (including a $3.0B incremental term loan and note proceeds) and equity/preferred issuance, which will affect QXO’s leverage, interest expense and shareholder dilution. Investors should note the new debt maturity (2033), amortization schedule, repricing prepayment terms and the expanded guarantee structure for the company’s notes.
• Management and oversight: Board and accounting leadership changes (new director and interim CAO from TopBuild) are intended to support integration and reporting; investors should watch for integration progress and post-close financial reporting.
