Significant events
- “In July 2026, a merger of XPO Global Forwarding International SAS into XPO Logistics Europe SAS resulted in a change to the Company's immediate parent company. Following the merger, the Company's immediate parent is XPO Logistics Europe SAS. This change is not expected to have any material impact on the operations or financial position of the Company. There were no changes to the Company's ultimate parent which remains XPO, Inc., incorporated in the USA.”
