The latest announcement is out from QXO Inc ( (QXO) ).
On January 5, 2026, QXO Inc. announced that funds managed by Apollo Global Management and other investors agreed to invest up to $1.2 billion in a new Series C convertible perpetual preferred stock, structured as a private placement, to finance one or more large acquisitions. Under the investment agreement, investors have committed through July 15, 2026, with a possible 12‑month extension if a definitive deal is signed, to purchase up to $1.145 billion (with capacity to increase) of preferred shares paying a 4.75% annual dividend and initially convertible into common stock at $23.25 per share, ranking senior to common equity and pari passu with QXO’s existing Series B preferred. The capital, which closes concurrently with qualifying acquisitions above $1.5 billion, enhances QXO’s financial flexibility for its roll‑up strategy while imposing transfer, hedging, voting and standstill restrictions on the Apollo-led investor group, and includes registration rights for eventual resale of the preferred and underlying common shares, thereby shaping both the company’s future capital structure and governance dynamics.
