Xerox Raises $450M for New Joint Venture
Xerox Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: XRX) (“Xerox” or the “Company”) announced the formation and capitalization of a new joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) between Xerox and TPG, a leading global alternative asset management firm. The Joint Venture is structured as an intellectual property holding and licensing entity designed to manage, protect, and monetize certain Xerox IP assets.
The Joint Venture has raised $450 million in aggregate principal amount of financing led by TPG’s credit business, TPG Credit, with participation from other investors, consisting of senior secured term loans and preferred equity (the “Joint Venture Financing”). The proceeds of the Joint Venture Financing were distributed to Xerox and are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including augmenting liquidity, accelerating the Company’s Reinvention (including the Lexmark integration), and opportunistically addressing the Company’s capital structure over time, which may include the redemption or repayment of debt.
In connection with the Joint Venture Financing, certain subsidiaries of Xerox contributed specific intellectual property assets to the Joint Venture in exchange for equity interests. As part of this structure, Xerox and the Joint Venture entered into a long-term shared services and license agreement that preserves the Company’s full, uninterrupted ability to use the Xerox name, trademark, and other transferred IP across all global operations, ensuring continuity in how Xerox presents itself and serves clients.
“This financing strengthens our balance sheet and completes the liquidity‑enhancing actions we began in the fall, with the objective of ensuring Xerox is well-capitalized and positioned to advance our long‑term strategy,” said Louie Pastor, president and chief operating officer at Xerox. “The acquisitions of ITsavvy and Lexmark created a diversified and scaled platform that positions us to deliver meaningful value for our clients, partners, and shareholders, starting with our guidance of more than $200 million in expected operating income growth in 2026. The Joint Venture builds on these efforts and enables Xerox to unlock additional value from our well recognized trademark and intellectual property assets. We look forward to partnering with TPG and leveraging their support as we continue executing this disciplined transformation.”
“TPG is pleased to be a capital partner to Xerox and have the opportunity to help strengthen its balance sheet and support the execution of its long‑term growth strategy,” said Joe Lenz, Partner and Co‑Head of Research, TPG Credit Solutions.
