Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events Acquisition of Con-way On September 9, 2015, the Company entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Con-way Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Con-way”), and Canada Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of XPO (“Merger Subsidiary”). Headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Con-way was a Fortune 500 company with a transportation and logistics network of 582 locations and approximately 30,000 employees serving over 36,000 customers. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, XPO caused Merger Subsidiary to commence a cash tender offer (the “Offer”) for all of Con-way's outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.625 per share (the “Shares”), at a purchase price of $47.60 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes. The Offer and withdrawal rights expired immediately after 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on October 30, 2015. Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary for the Offer, has indicated that a total of 46,150,072 Shares were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as of the expiration date, representing approximately 81.1% of the outstanding Shares. In addition, Notices of Guaranteed Delivery have been delivered for 1,793,225 Shares, representing approximately 3.2% of the outstanding Shares. The number of Shares tendered (excluding Shares delivered pursuant to Notices of Guaranteed Delivery for which certificates were not yet delivered) satisfies the minimum condition, and all Shares that were validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the offer have been accepted for payment. The aggregate consideration paid in the Offer and Merger Agreement was approximately $3.0 billion, without giving effect to related transaction fees and expenses. On October 30, 2015, following its acceptance of the tendered shares, XPO completed its acquisition of Con-way pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Merger Subsidiary merged with and into Con-way in accordance with Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, with Con-way continuing as the surviving corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary of XPO. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time was converted into the right to receive the purchase price other than Shares owned by (i) Con-way, XPO or Merger Subsidiary, which Shares have been canceled and cease to exist, (ii) any subsidiary of Con-way or XPO (other than Merger Subsidiary), which Shares have been converted into shares of common stock of the surviving corporation, or (iii) stockholders who validly exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law with respect to such Shares. All Con-way shares not validly tendered into the Offer have been canceled and converted into the right to receive the same $47.60 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes, as is to be paid for all Shares that were validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Offer. Con-way shares have ceased trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Subsequent to our acquisition of Con-way, our integrated network includes approximately 84,000 employees at 1,469 locations in 32 countries serving over 50,000 customers. Our global contract logistics platform includes 151 million square feet of facility space. Our global ground transportation network includes approximately 19,000 owned tractors and 46,000 owned trailers, 10,000 trucks contracted through independent owner operations, and access to more than 50,000 independent carriers. Financing of Con-way Acquisition On October 30, 2015, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Credit Agreement (the “ABL Facility”) among XPO and certain of XPO’s U.S. and Canadian wholly owned subsidiaries (which include the U.S. subsidiaries of the former Con-way), as borrowers, the other credit parties from time to time party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as agent for such lenders. The ABL Facility replaces XPO’s existing Amended Credit Agreement, and, among other things, (i) increases the commitments under the ABL Facility to $1.0 billion, (ii) permits the previously announced acquisition of Con-way, and the transactions relating thereto, (iii) reduces the margin on loans under the ABL Facility by 0.25% from that contained in the existing Amended Credit Agreement and (iv) matures on October 30, 2020 (subject, in certain circumstances, to a springing maturity in the event that XPO’s Senior Notes due 2019 are not repaid or subjected to a cash reserve three months prior to the maturity date thereof). Up to $350 million of the ABL Facility is available for issuance of letters of credit, and up to $50 million of the ABL Facility is available for swing line loans. The ABL Facility is secured on a first lien basis by the assets of the credit parties which constitute ABL Facility priority collateral, as described therein, and on a second lien basis by certain other assets. The Company’s borrowings under the ABL Facility will bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR or Base Rate, as defined in the agreement, plus an applicable margin of 1.50% to 2.00%, in the case of LIBOR loans, and 0.50% to 1.00%, in the case of Base Rate loans. The ABL Facility contains representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default customary for agreements of this nature. The commitment termination date on the ABL Facility is the earlier of (a) the stated termination date, October, 30, 2020, and (b) May 31, 2019 (the “Early Termination Date”), unless prior to or as of the Early Termination Date, the Senior Notes due 2019 have been discharged, defeased, redeemed, repaid in full, all obligations thereunder have been terminated or the maturity thereof has been extended beyond February 1, 2021. Among other things, the covenants in the ABL Facility limit the Company’s ability to, with certain exceptions: incur indebtedness; grant liens; engage in certain mergers, consolidations, acquisitions and dispositions; make certain investments and restricted payments; and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. In certain circumstances, the ABL Facility also requires the Company to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the ABL Facility) of not less than 1.00 to 1.00. If an event of default under the ABL Facility shall occur and be continuing, the commitments thereunder may be terminated and the principal amount outstanding thereunder, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owed thereunder, may be declared immediately due and payable. Certain subsidiaries acquired by the Company in the future may be excluded from the restrictions contained in certain of the foregoing covenants. On October 30, 2015, XPO entered into a senior secured term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan Facility”) with certain U.S. subsidiaries of XPO from time to time party thereto, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto. The Term Loan Facility provided for a single borrowing of $1.6 billion on the date thereof, which XPO used, together with cash on hand, to finance the consummation of the Offer and the acquisition of Con-way on October 30, 2015 and the transactions related thereto. The Term Loan Facility is secured on a first lien basis by certain assets of the credit parties which constitute Term Loan Facility priority collateral, as described therein, and on a second lien basis by ABL Facility priority collateral. The Term Loan Facility contains representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default customary for agreements of this nature. XPO’s borrowings under the Term Loan Facility will bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR or Base Rate, as defined in the agreement, plus an applicable margin of 4.50%, in the case of LIBOR loans, and 3.50%, in the case of Base Rate loans. The Term Loan Facility matures on October 30, 2021. On the last business day of each fiscal quarter, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2016, a portion of the principal amount in an amount equal to 0.25% of the loan amount is to be repaid. In addition, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, the Company must prepay an aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan Facility equal to (a) 50% of excess cash flow, as defined in the agreement, if any for the most recent fiscal year ended minus (b) the sum of (i) all voluntary prepayments of loans during such fiscal year and (ii) all voluntary prepayments of loans under the ABL Facility or any other revolving credit facilities during such fiscal year to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in the commitments under the credit agreement or any other revolving credit facilities in the case of each of the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii), to the extent such prepayments are funded with internally generated cash flow, as defined in the agreement; provided, further, that (x) the excess cash flow percentage shall be 25% if the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio of Borrower, as defined in the agreement, for the fiscal year was less than or equal to 3.00:1.00 and greater than 2.50:1.00 and (y) the excess cash flow percentage shall be 0% if the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio of Borrower for the fiscal year was less than or equal to 2.50:1.00. The remaining principal is due at maturity. Con-way Legal Contingencies On June 11, 2014, XPO Logistics Worldwide Government Services, LLC, formerly known as Menlo Worldwide Government Services, LLC (“Government Services”), a subsidiary of the contract logistics business that the Company acquired through the Con-way transaction, received a subpoena duces tecum from the U.S. Department of Defense Inspector General requesting records relating to an investigation of its compliance with the terms and conditions of its contractual arrangements with the United States Transportation Command (the “DTCI Contract”). Government Services received a follow-on Civil Investigative Demand from the U.S. Department of Justice dated September 30, 2015, related to the same or related matters. The Company believes that Government Services has fully complied in all material respects with the terms and conditions of the DTCI Contract. The Company has cooperated fully in the investigation and intends to continue to do so. The Company is unable at this time to predict the outcome of the investigation. The Company has incurred and will continue to incur legal costs in connection with the investigation, and could incur additional costs, damages or penalties, depending on its outcome. The Company is unable at this time to estimate the amount of the possible loss or range of loss, if any, that it may incur as a result of the investigation.
