Note 9 – Related Party Transactions

In March 2021, the Company funded a note payable under a debt financing obligation in connection with the acquisition of Rumble. The Company earned interest at the rate of 11% per annum on the receivable. In connection with the Reorganization Transactions, XPO Inc. recorded $10,600 receivable from shareholder, as the Rumble Seller is a shareholder of XPO Inc., for the debt financing provided to the Rumble Seller. In July 2022, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the Rumble Sellers to resolve disputes related to the acquisition and related agreements. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company prospectively reduced the interest rate on the debt financing provided to the Rumble Sellers from 11% per annum to 7.5% per annum if payment is in cash or 10% per annum if payment is in payment-in-kind and extended the maturity date of the debt financing. In 2023 and 2022, the Rumble Sellers borrowed an additional $4,400 and $5,050, respectively, under the debt financing agreement which was recorded as receivable from shareholder within equity. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded $384 and $349 of interest-in-kind, respectively, which was recorded as interest income and an increase to receivable from shareholder within equity.

In December 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with the former owner of Row House, pursuant to which contingent consideration relating to the 2017 acquisition of Row House was settled in exchange for the issuance of 105 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), which vest in full on the fourth anniversary of the grant date. As a result of the agreement, the Company recorded a reduction to the contingent consideration liability of $1,220 with an offsetting increase in additional paid-in capital and reclassified the former owner's outstanding note receivable of $1,834 to additional paid-in capital. In addition, pursuant to the agreement, the Company issued a four-year multi-tranche term loan with an option to borrow up to $20 per month in the aggregate principal amount of $960 bearing interest of 8.5% per annum, which was recorded as a liability and offsetting reduction in additional paid-in capital. The outstanding receivable from shareholder and the multi-tranche term loan are collateralized by 75 shares of Class B common stock held by the former owner, which were reclassified to treasury stock, and by the 105 RSUs. As of March 31, 2025, the former owner of Row House borrowed $480, which was recorded as a reduction to liability.
