Dear Baris,
On behalf of XPO Logistics, Inc. ("XPO"), I'm happy to offer you the position of Chief Financial Officer, Supply Chain of XPO until the completion of the anticipated spin-off of XPO's logistics segment ("GXO"), which is expected to occur in the second half of 2021. Commencing on the effective date of the spin-off, you will hold the position of Chief Financial Officer of GXO. I know I speak for the rest of our team when I say how pleased we are to make you this offer. This letter sets forth all of the terms and conditions of the offer.
Reporting and Work Location. In your initial role as Chief Financial Officer, Supply Chain, you'll report directly to XPO's Chief Executive Officer, Europe, and manage the Supply Chain finance group of XPO. In your role as Chief Financial Officer of GXO, you'll report directly to the Chief Executive Officer of GXO and manage the Supply Chain finance group of GXO. You'll be based out of XPO's headquarters in Greenwich, CT, tentatively beginning on May 14, 2021. You'll be based out of GXO's Greenwich, CT office commencing on the effective date of the spin off.
Full-Time Employment. During your employment, you will be required to devote your full time and attention to your duties and responsibilities for the Company ("Company," here and for the remainder of this letter refers to XPO until the effective date of the spin-off of GXO, and then refers to GXO on and after the effective date of the spin-oft). You may not take up any outside full or part-time employment without the prior written consent of the Company.
Your Compensation. We'd like to offer you the following compensation package:
•Base Salary: You'll receive a base salary of $600,000, paid on a biweekly basis ($23,076.93 annualized), less all applicable withholdings and deductions, and pro-rated for any partial period worked. This is an exempt position, meaning you will not be eligible for overtime compensation.
•Annual Incentive: You will be eligible to participate in the Company's annual incentive plan, subject to the terms and conditions of the plan, as may be in effect from time to time. The incentive plan structure is based on a target percentage of your base salary. The target incentive for you is 100% of your base salary. You will have the opportunity to earn 0% to 200% of your target incentive based on the aggregate level of achievement of your performance goals (determined by your supervisor) and the Company's achievement of its business goals. Your performance goals, the Company's business goals, and the payout curve for the bonus plan will be determined annually by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (or its delegate) in its discretion. Your annual incentive will not be pro-rated for the year in which you are hired.

•Incentive Grant: You will be awarded an initial long-term stock incentive award (the "Incentive Grant"), which will be granted in the form of 100,000 stock options relating to XPO common stock and will vest in full on the fifth anniversary of the grant date, subject to (i) the occurrence of the spin-off by March 31, 2022 and (ii) your continuous employment with the Company through the fifth anniversary of the grant date; if either of these vesting conditions is not satisfied, then the Incentive Grant shall be forfeited. The Incentive Grant is contingent upon the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors or its delegate and will be subject to the applicable terms and conditions set forth in XPO's 2016 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Omnibus Plan") and the applicable award agreement. If approved, the Incentive Grant will be granted to you as soon as practicable following your start date with XPO. In connection with the spin-off, it is expected that the Incentive Grant will be converted into an award relating to GXO common stock based on an adjustment methodology to be approved by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.
•Long-term Incentive: You will be eligible for a long-term incentive award for the 2021 performance year with a target value of $800,000, 70% ($560,000) of which will be awarded in performance-based restricted stock units and 30% ($240,000) of which will be awarded in time-based restricted stock units, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Omnibus Plan and the applicable award agreement. These awards are contingent upon approval of the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors or its delegate. If approved, these awards will be granted to you following the end of the 2021 performance year, subject to your continued employment on the applicable grant dates. For performance years after 2021, the grant date value of any annual long-term incentive awards to be granted to you will be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors in its discretion.
•Annual and long-term incentive awards will be reflective of your individual performance and contributions, the Company and/or business unit performance, as applicable, and the scope and expectations of your position/role in the Company and/or your business unit. As an at-will employee, annual and long-term incentives are subject to change at the sole discretion of the Company.
