**QXO Employee Email from Brad Jacobs**

**To**: All QXO Employees

**Subject**: Big Acquisition News

Team –

Today, we <u>announced</u> that QXO has entered into an agreement to purchase <u>TopBuild</u>, the largest distributor and installer of insulation and related building products in North America.

This is a significant acquisition that's highly complementary to our existing business. By adding TopBuild to our portfolio, we'll be able to deliver more value to our customers and increase our presence in key markets throughout North America. Plus, it'll advance our goal of growing QXO into a $50 billion company within the decade.

I'll keep you updated as we progress toward the transaction's close, which I expect will occur in the third quarter of the year. In the meantime, thank you for everything you're doing to make QXO a strong company, built for long-term success.

Brad

**QXO to Acquire TopBuild Corp.**

On April 19, 2026, QXO <u>announced</u> it has entered into an agreement to purchase <u>TopBuild</u>, the largest distributor and installer of insulation and related building products in North America. When the deal closes, QXO will be the second largest publicly traded building products distributor in North America, with more than $18 billion in company revenue and more than $2 billion of adjusted EBITDA.

Through its Installation Services business, TopBuild provides nationwide insulation installation and services. Its Specialty Distribution business supplies contractors with building and mechanical insulation, accessories, and related products. Its end markets include residential, heavy and light commercial, industrial, and marine.

The acquisition will benefit QXO customers as we'll be positioned to cross-sell legacy Beacon and Kodiak products and solutions with TopBuild's services and products. Importantly, the deal will expand QXO's exposure to large, complex projects, such as data centers, where scale makes a difference.

Founded in 2015, TopBuild has a large footprint in North America and a proven ability to scale:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· 15,000 employees

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· 450 branch locations

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Headquartered in Daytona Beach, Florida

Once the acquisition is completed, QXO will hold leadership positions in key building product categories:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· #1 in insulation

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· #2 in roofing

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· #1 in waterproofing

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· #1 or #2 in key geographies served within lumber
and building materials

The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026.
