Item 5.05. Amendments to the Registrant’s Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics.

On January 16, 2012, the Board of Directors of XPO Logistics, Inc. (the “Company”) approved and adopted a new Senior Officer Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”), which constitutes the Company’s “code of ethics” as contemplated in Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K. The Code replaces the Company’s prior Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers in its entirety. The principal amendments reflected in the Code include the following:

  1. The revised Code applies to a broader group of senior officers of the Company;

  2. The revised Code contains a comprehensive “Conflicts of Interest” section that is applicable to senior officers; and

  3. Disclosures and requests for waivers under the revised Code must be submitted in writing, and waivers will be granted only in writing.

The Code, as revised, also contains other non-substantive changes. Notwithstanding the foregoing changes, the overriding ethical principles underlying each provision of the Company’s prior Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers remain substantively unchanged.

The Code, as revised, took effect upon adoption by the Board of Directors of the Company and did not result in any waiver, explicit or implicit, of any provision of the Company’s prior Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers.

The foregoing description of the amendments reflected in the Code is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Code, which is attached as Exhibit 14.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Code can be obtained from the “Investor Relations” section of the Company’s website at http://www.xpologistics.com .
