Analysis · RXO · Energy & Transportation
MFN Partners, RXO's largest shareholder at 19.3%, has contractually committed to vote all 32.7 million shares in favor of the C.H. Robinson merger and against any competing bid. This removes a key approval risk for the $5.8 billion deal announced earlier today. The voting agreement also locks up MFN's shares with transfer restrictions and non-solicitation covenants, making a competing offer materially harder to execute. The filing confirms MFN holds 4.58 million penny warrants exercisable at $0.01, which would add to the float if exercised.
