    GREENWICH, Conn. - September 2, 2014 - XPO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE: XPO) ("XPO" or the "company") today announced that it has completed its previously announced acquisition of premium contract logistics provider New Breed Holding Company ("New Breed") for a cash purchase price of $615 million. The acquisition expands the company's operations to 203 locations and approximately 10,400 employees.

    The company financed the acquisition and related fees and expenses with the proceeds from its August 2014 private placement of $500 million of senior notes and available cash on hand.

As chief executive of XPO's new contract logistics business, Mr. DeJoy will continue to lead the operations he has been instrumental in growing since 1983.

    New Breed is the preeminent U.S. provider of non-asset based, highly engineered contract logistics solutions for blue chip customers. Its services are concentrated in industries with high-growth outsourcing opportunities, including telecom/technology, retail/e-commerce, aerospace and defense, medical equipment and select areas of manufacturing.
