XPO, Inc. filed a Form 8-K on March 27, 2025 to disclose that its Board of Directors, on March 26, 2025, authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $750 milliona of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share.
The Repurchase Plan replaces the company's previous share repurchase plan, authorized in February 2019, which had $503 millionb remaining as of March 26, 2025. The new authorization is effective immediately. According to the filing, repurchases may be made from time to time at management's discretion through a variety of methods, including a 10b5-1 trading plan, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or transactions otherwise in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The company states that the timing and number of shares repurchased will be opportunistic, depending on factors such as price, general business and market conditions, alternative investment opportunities, and funding considerations. The filing makes clear that the Repurchase Plan does not obligate XPO to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The filing also includes standard forward-looking statement cautions, citing risks such as freight market recovery, North American LTL performance, indebtedness, and the expected benefits of the spin-offs of GXO Logistics, Inc. and RXO, Inc.
