QXO (QXO) shares rose 20% in recent Monday trading after the company said it received a $1.2 billion investment commitment from funds affiliated with Apollo Global Management (APO) and other investors through a new series of convertible perpetual preferred stock.
The company said the investment will improve its financial flexibility to pursue acquisition opportunities.
Under the agreement, investors will purchase the new preferred stock to fund one or more acquisitions through July 15, with a possible extension of up to 12 months if a definitive acquisition agreement is executed before the initial commitment period expires.
The new convertible preferred stock will pay a dividend of 4.75% per year and can be converted into QXO common stock at an initial conversion price of $23.25 per share.
