On February 7, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of XPO Logistics, Inc. (the “Company” or “XPO”) expanded the size of the Board to eight members and appointed Marlene Colucci to serve as a member of the Board, effective immediately. Ms. Colucci has served as the executive director of The Business Council, based in Washington, D.C., since July 2013. Pursuant to the Company’s bylaws, Ms. Colucci will serve as a director for an initial term until the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders.
As a non-employee director, Ms. Colucci will be entitled to receive an annual cash retainer (currently $75,000) and an annual restricted stock unit (“RSU”) grant (currently $175,000 in value), which will be granted on the first business day of each calendar year and will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date. The number of RSUs granted will be determined by dividing $175,000 by the average of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the 10 trading days immediately preceding the grant date. In addition, in connection with her appointment to the Company’s Board of Directors, Ms. Colucci received a one-time grant of 2,637 RSUs that shall vest on January 2, 2020, subject to Ms. Colucci’s continued service as a director of the Company.
