Bradley S. Jacobs has indirect beneficial ownership of such Shares as a result of being the Managing Member of JPE. |

|
See Footnote 2. |
This Amendment No. 1 amends and restates the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on June 22, 2011 in its entirety.
|
|
|
Item 1. |
|
Security and Issuer |
The class of equity securities to which this statement relates is the common stock, $0.001 par
value per share (the Shares), of XPO Logistics, Inc. (formerly Express-1 Expedited
Solutions, Inc.) (the Company). The principal executive offices of the Company are
located at 429 Post Road, Buchanan, Michigan 49107.
|
|
|
Item 2. |
|
Identity and Background |
(a)-(c) and (f) This Schedule 13D is being filed by Jacobs Private Equity, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (JPE), and Bradley S. Jacobs (together with JPE, the
Reporting Parties), an individual citizen of the United States.
The address of the principal place of business and the principal office of the Reporting
Parties is 350 Round Hill Road, Greenwich, CT 06831. JPE is an investment vehicle formed to make
equity investments in companies. Mr. Jacobs is the Managing Member of JPE and, effective as of
September 2, 2011, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chairman of the Board of Directors (the
Board) and a director of the Company.
(d) and (e) During the last five years, the Reporting Parties (1) have not been convicted in a
criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) and (2) have not been a
party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a
result of which such person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws
or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
|
|
|
Item 3. |
|
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration |
Upon the closing of the Equity Investment (as defined below), the Company issued to JPE, for
$67,500,000 in cash, (i) 67,500 shares of Preferred Stock, which are initially convertible into an
aggregate of 9,642,857 Shares, and (ii) 9,642,857 Warrants initially exercisable for an aggregate
of 9,642,857 Shares at an exercise price of $7.00 per share. JPE used the personal funds of Mr.
Jacobs (including funds from estate planning trusts established by Mr. Jacobs) to fund the purchase
price for these shares of Preferred Stock and Warrants.
|
|
|
Item 4. |
|
Purpose of Transaction |
The purpose of the acquisition of the Preferred Stock and the Warrants is to acquire a
controlling interest in the Company and, in connection therewith, to use the Company as a platform
for growth in its businesses through organic expansion and strategic acquisitions.
The Investment Agreement
On June 13, 2011, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement (the Investment
Agreement) with JPE and the other investors party thereto (including by joinders thereto)
(collectively with JPE, the
1
Investors), providing for an aggregate investment by the Investors of up to $150
million in cash in the Company, including amounts payable upon exercise of the warrants described
below (collectively, the Equity Investment). On September 2, 2011, upon the closing of
the Equity Investment, the Company issued to the Investors, for $75,000,000 in cash, (i) an
aggregate of 75,000 shares of Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock of the Company (the
Preferred Stock) and (ii) 10,714,286 warrants to purchase 10,714,286 Shares (the
Warrants).
The Preferred Stock has an initial liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, for an
aggregate initial liquidation preference of $75,000,000. The Preferred Stock is convertible at any
time, in whole or in part and from time to time, at the option of the holder thereof into a number
of Shares equal to the then-applicable liquidation preference divided by the conversion price,
which is initially $7.00 per Share (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments), for an
effective initial aggregate conversion rate of 10,714,286 Shares. The Preferred Stock pays
quarterly cash dividends equal to the greater of (i) the as-converted dividends on the underlying
Shares for the relevant quarter and (ii) 4% of the then-applicable liquidation preference per
annum. Accrued and unpaid dividends for any quarter will accrete to liquidation preference for all
purposes. The Preferred Stock votes together with the Shares on an as-converted basis on all
matters, except as otherwise required by law, and separately with respect to certain matters
implicating the rights of holders of shares of Preferred Stock.
Each Warrant is initially exercisable at any time and from time to time from the closing date
until September 2, 2021, at the option of the holder thereof, into one Share at an initial exercise
price of $7.00 in cash per Share (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments). The initial
aggregate number of Shares subject to Warrants is 10,714,286 Shares.
Upon closing of the Equity Investment, JPE became the controlling stockholder of the Company.
In connection with the closing of the Equity Investment, Bradley S. Jacobs, the Managing Member of
JPE, was elected as the Chairman of the Board of the Company on September 2, 2011. Mr. Jacobs also
was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Company at that time.
Immediately following the closing of the Equity Investment, the Board was reconstituted such
that: (i) the number of seats on the Board was increased from seven to eight, and all pre-closing
directors of the Company, other than Mr. James Martell, resigned effective as of immediately prior
to the closing; (ii) six of the vacancies on the Board were filled by designees of JPE (including
Mr. Jacobs), and the remaining vacancy will be filled by a designee of JPE at a later date; (iii)
each standing committee of the Board was reconstituted in a manner reasonably acceptable to JPE and
(iv) Mr. Jacobs became the Chairman of the Board. Additionally, JPE is entitled to nominate for
election to the Board in connection with each meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be
elected (i) a majority of the directors on the Board, for so long as JPE controls at least 33% of
the total voting power of the capital stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis or (ii) 25% of
the directors on the Board, for so long as JPE controls at least 20% (but less than 33%) of the
total voting power of the capital stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis.
In connection with the foregoing, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the
Company was amended to, among other things, provide that any vacancy on the Board of the Company
will be filled by the remaining directors or director.
The Voting Agreements
Concurrently with the execution of the Investment Agreement, each of Michael Welch, an officer
and a former director of the Company, and Daniel Para, an officer and a former director of the
Company, entered into
2
Voting Agreements with JPE, pursuant to which they agreed, in their capacities as stockholders
of the Company and subject to the terms of such agreements, to, among other things, vote their
Shares in favor of the Equity Investment and related approvals, and granted JPE an irrevocable
proxy in respect of their Shares in connection therewith.
The Voting Agreements were each terminated by the mutual consent of the parties thereto
following the approval of the Equity Investment and the other transactions contemplated by the
Investment Agreement at the special meeting of stockholders of the Company on September 1, 2011.
The foregoing descriptions of the Investment Agreement and the Voting Agreements do not
purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such
agreements, which are included as exhibits hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
Except as set forth in this Item 4, neither JPE nor Mr. Jacobs has any plan or proposals that
relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of
Item 4 of Schedule 13D (although JPE and Mr. Jacobs reserve the right to develop such plans).
|
|
|
Item 5. |
|
Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
(a)-(b) JPE owns 67,500 shares of Preferred Stock initially convertible into 9,642,857
Shares, and 9,642,857 Warrants initially exercisable for 9,642,857 Shares. Therefore, JPE, for the
purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange
Act), beneficially owns 19,285,714 Shares and Mr. Jacobs, for the purposes of Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act, indirectly beneficially owns 19,285,714 Shares. This number of
Shares represents, for the purposes of Rule 13d-3, approximately 70.0% of the outstanding shares of
voting stock of the Company based on 33,011,561 Shares outstanding as of August 15, 2011, as
reported by the Company in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on August 15, 2011, and as adjusted for a 4-for-1 reverse stock split on September 2,
2011, resulting in a total of 8,252,890 outstanding Shares.
JPE has the sole power to vote or to direct the vote, and the sole power to dispose or to
direct the disposition of, the Preferred Stock and Warrants (and the Shares issuable upon
conversion or exercise thereof) described in the foregoing paragraph.
(c) Except for the purchase of the shares of Preferred Stock and the Warrants described above
and the termination of the Voting Agreements, neither Reporting Party has effected any transaction
in the Shares since the date of the Reporting Parties most recent filing on Schedule 13D.
(d) No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt
of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting
Persons.
(e) Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, JPE may have been deemed for the purposes of Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act to beneficially own 4,476,690 Shares and Mr. Jacobs may have
been deemed for the purpose of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act to indirectly
beneficially own 4,476,690 Shares. That number represented, for the purposes of Rule 13d-3,
approximately 13.6% of the outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company as of June 13, 2011.
However, the Reporting Parties disclaimed any beneficial ownership of such Shares (and nothing
herein shall be deemed to be an admission by the Reporting Parties as to the beneficial ownership
of such Shares pursuant to the Voting Agreements). However, upon termination of the Voting
Agreements on September 1, 2011 and prior to the closing of the Equity Investment on September 2,
2011, if JPE had previously been deemed to hold such beneficial ownership
3
and Mr. Jacobs to hold such indirect beneficial ownership, then each would have ceased to
beneficially own any Shares during such period.
|
|
|
Item 6. |
|
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of
the Issuer |
At the closing of the Equity Investment, JPE became party to the Registration Rights Agreement
dated as of September 2, 2011 (the Registration Rights Agreement), by and among JPE, the
other holders of registrable securities and designated secured lenders from time to time party
thereto and the Company. The summary of the material terms of the Registration Rights Agreement
below is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of
which is included as Exhibit 99.4 to this Schedule 13D and incorporated by reference herein.
The Registration Rights Agreement provides the holders of registrable securities thereunder
with certain rights to cause the Company to register the sale of shares of Preferred Stock,
Warrants and Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock or upon exercise of
the Warrants.
In addition, following consummation of the Equity Investment, in order to reinforce JPEs
long-term commitment to the Company and its stockholders, JPE, acting unilaterally and voluntarily,
committed to the Company that, during the period ending one year from the closing, it will not sell
or otherwise transfer any of the Preferred Stock or Warrants or the Shares issuable upon conversion
or exercise thereof, other than transfers to affiliates who also make such commitment, or as
security for financial planning purposes and charitable contributions.
Other than as described in Items 3, 4 and 5 and this Item 6, to the knowledge of the Reporting
Parties, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise)
among the persons named in Item 2 or between such persons and any other person with respect to any
securities of the Company, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the
securities, finders fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees
of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies, including any
securities pledged or otherwise subject to a contingency the occurrence of which would give another
person voting power or investment power over such securities other than standard default and
similar provisions contained in loan agreements.
