includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements
other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to

“expect,” “objective,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal,”
“guidance,” “outlook,” “effort,” “target,” “trajectory” or the
negative of these terms or other comparable terms. However, the
absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not
forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based on
certain assumptions and analyses made by the company in light of
its experience and its perception of historical trends, current
conditions and expected future developments, as well as other
factors the company believes are appropriate in the
circumstances.
These forward-looking statements are subject to known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual
results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be
materially different from any future results, levels of activity,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute
to a material difference include, but are not limited to, the risks
discussed in our filings with the SEC and the following: economic
conditions generally; supply chain challenges, including labor
shortages; competition and pricing pressures; GXO and/or
Wincanton’s ability to align GXO and/or Wincanton’s investments in
capital assets, including equipment, service centers and
warehouses, to their respective customers’ demands; GXO and/or
Wincanton’s ability to successfully integrate and realize
anticipated benefits, synergies, cost savings and profit
improvement opportunities with respect to acquired companies,
including the acquisition of Wincanton; acquisitions may be
unsuccessful or result in other risks or developments that
adversely affect GXO and/or Wincanton’s financial condition and
results; GXO and/or Wincanton’s ability to develop and implement
suitable information technology systems and prevent failures in or
breaches of such systems; GXO and/or Wincanton’s indebtedness; GXO
and/or Wincanton’s ability to raise debt and equity capital;
litigation; labor matters, including GXO and/or Wincanton’s ability
to manage its subcontractors, and risks associated with labor
disputes at GXO and/or Wincanton’s customers’ facilities and
efforts by labor organizations to organize its employees; risks
associated with defined benefit plans for GXO and/or Wincanton’s
current and former employees; GXO and/or Wincanton’s ability to
attract or retain necessary talent; the increased costs associated
with labor; fluctuations in currency exchange rates; fluctuations
in fixed and floating interest rates; fluctuations in customer
confidence and spending; issues related to GXO and/or Wincanton’s
intellectual property rights; governmental regulation, including
environmental laws, trade compliance laws, as well as changes in
international trade policies and tax regimes; governmental or
political actions, including the United Kingdom’s exit from the
European Union; natural disasters, terrorist attacks or similar
incidents; damage to GXO and/or Wincanton’s reputation; a material
disruption of GXO and/or Wincanton’s operations; the inability to
achieve the level of revenue growth, cash generation, cost savings,
improvement in profitability and margins, fiscal discipline, or
strengthening of competitiveness and operations anticipated or
targeted; failure in properly handling the inventory of GXO and/or
Wincanton’s customers; the impact of potential cyber-attacks and
information technology or data security breaches; the inability to
implement technology initiatives or business systems successfully;
GXO and/or Wincanton’s ability to achieve Environmental, Social and
Governance goals; a determination by the IRS that the distribution
or certain related spin-off transactions should be treated as
taxable transactions; the risk that the offering of the notes may
not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely
affect the price of GXO’s securities; and the risk that GXO will be
unable to satisfy the conditions to the closing of the notes in the
future. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could cause actual
results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking
statements. Such forward-looking statements should therefore be
construed in the light of such factors.
All forward-looking statements set forth in this release are
qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no
assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by us
will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will
have the expected consequences to or effects on us or our business
or operations. Forward-looking statements set forth in this release
