Note 12 – Member’s/Stockholder's Equity (Deficit)

Member’s contributions – As described in Note 3 and presented in the consolidated statements of changes to stockholders'/member’s equity (deficit), during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Parent contributed assets related to the Rumble acquisition. The fair value of assets contributed was $20,483.

Common stock – As described in Note 1, in connection with the IPO in July 2021, the Company issued 10,000 shares of Class A common stock, at a price of $12.00 per share. Immediately after the IPO, 22,994 shares of Class A common stock were outstanding, including 12,994 shares issued to historical owners of the Parent. Also on July 23, 2021, in connection with the completion of the Reorganization Transactions, 23,543 shares of Class B common stock were issued to the Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members. In August 2021, the Company sold 904 shares of Class A common stock to the underwriters pursuant to the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares. After underwriter discounts and commissions, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $10,116 on August 24, 2021, which were used (i) $9,000 to purchase 750 LLC Units from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and (ii) $1,116 for working capital. On April 6, 2022, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with certain existing stockholders, affiliates of H&W Investco (the “Selling Stockholders”) and certain underwriters named therein, pursuant to which the Selling Stockholders sold 4,500 shares of Class A common stock at a price of $20.00 per share. All of the shares sold in this offering were offered by the Selling Stockholders. In addition, the Selling Stockholders granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 675 shares of the Company's Class A common stock, which was exercised on April 7, 2022. The shares sold in the offering consisted of (i) 2,479 existing shares of Class A common stock and (ii) 2,696 newly-issued shares of Class A common stock issued in connection with the exchange of LLC units held by the Selling Stockholders. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Class A common stock offered by the Selling Stockholders. Simultaneously, 2,696 Class B shares were surrendered by the Selling Stockholders and canceled.

In February 2023, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with certain existing stockholders, affiliates of H&W Investco and our Chief Executive Officer (collectively the “Selling Stockholders”) and certain underwriters named therein, pursuant to which the Selling Stockholders sold an aggregate of 5,000 shares of Class A common stock in a secondary public offering at a public offering price of $24.50 per share. All of the shares sold in this offering were offered by the Selling Stockholders. In addition, the Selling Stockholders granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 750 shares of the Company's Class A common stock, which was fully exercised on February 15, 2023. The shares sold in the offering consisted of (i) 2,276 existing shares of Class A common stock and (ii) 3,474 newly-issued shares of Class A common stock issued in connection with the exchange of LLC units held by the Selling Stockholders. Simultaneously, 3,474 shares of Class B common stock were surrendered by the Selling Stockholders and canceled. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Class A common stock offered by the Selling Stockholders. Additionally, during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, pursuant to the Amended Limited Liability Company Agreement of XPO Holdings (“Amended LLC Agreement”), certain Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members exchanged their LLC units for 1,620 and 607 shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, respectively.

Noncontrolling interests – Following the IPO, XPO Inc. is the sole managing member of XPO LLC and, as a result, consolidates the financial results of XPO LLC. The Company reported noncontrolling interests representing the economic interests in XPO LLC held by the Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members. Under the Amended LLC agreement, the Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members are able to exchange their LLC Units for shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis (simultaneously cancelling an equal number of shares of Class B common stock of the exchanging member), or at the option of the Company for cash.

Prior to the second amendment of the LLC agreement the Company's decision of whether to exchange LLC Units for Class A common stock or cash was made at the discretion of the Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members through their control of the Company's board of directors. Accordingly, the redeemable noncontrolling interest was reported as temporary equity at the greater of the redemption value of the units or the carrying value as of the balance sheet date, with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital.

In December 2021, the Company and the Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members amended the LLC agreement of XPO Holdings, removing the redemption option in cash, except to the extent that the cash proceeds to be used to make the redemption in cash are immediately available and were directly raised from a secondary offering of the Company's equity securities. The redeemable noncontrolling interest was adjusted to its fair value as of such date and recorded in equity as noncontrolling interest. Future redemptions or exchanges of LLC Units by the Continuing Pre-IPO LLC Members will result in a change in ownership and reduce the amount recorded as noncontrolling interest and increase additional paid-in capital.

During 2023 and 2022, the Company experienced a change in noncontrolling interests ownership due to the conversion of Class B to Class A shares and as such, has rebalanced the related noncontrolling interests balance. The Company calculated the rebalancing based on the net assets of XPO LLC, after considering the preferred shareholders' claim on the net assets of XPO LLC. The Company used the liquidation value of the preferred shares for such rebalancing.

Accelerated Share Repurchase program – On August 1, 2023, the Company's board of directors approved a $50,000 accelerated share repurchase program (the “ASR Program”) to repurchase shares of the Company's Class A common stock. The Company accounted for the ASR Program as two separate transactions, a repurchase of the Company’s Class A common stock and an equity-linked contract indexed to the Company’s Class A common stock that met certain accounting criteria for classification in stockholders' equity. Under the ASR Program, the Company paid a fixed amount of $50,000 on August 9, 2023, to a third-party financial institution and received an initial delivery of 2,010 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, which were retired immediately. The initial delivery of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock represented approximately 80% of the fixed amount paid of $50,000, which was based on the share price of the Company's Class A common stock on the date of ASR Program execution. On October 2, 2023, the final settlement of the Company's ASR Program occurred, and the Company received an additional 589 shares of the Company's Class A common stock from the third-party financial institution. The payment of $50,000 was recorded as reductions to stockholders' equity, consisting of a $40,000 decrease in additional paid-in capital, which reflects the value of the initial shares received and immediately retired, and a $10,000 decrease in additional paid-in capital, which reflects the value of the Class A common stock that was delivered by the financial institution upon final settlement. Under the ASR Program, the Company also incurred $439 in associated costs, consisting primarily of legal fees and a 1% excise tax, which were recorded as a decrease in additional paid-in capital on the Company’s consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

In total under the ASR Program, the Company repurchased and immediately retired 2,599 shares of Class A common stock. The final number of shares received by the Company was based on the daily volume-weighted average stock price of the Company’s Class A common stock during the duration of the ASR Program, less a discount and adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR Program agreement.
