ABF Lawsuit
On November 16, 2010, YRC Inc., New Penn Motor Express, Inc. and USF Holland Inc. (each a "subsidiary" and collectively, the "subsidiaries" of the Company) filed a motion to dismiss the complaint filed by ABF Freight System, Inc. ("ABF") on November 1, 2010 in the U.S. District court for the Western District of Arkansas. In the motion to dismiss, the subsidiaries asked the court to dismiss ABF's complaint, which alleges a violation of the National Master Freight Agreement (the "NMFA") between the subsidiaries and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, because ABF is not a party to the NMFA and, therefore, has no standing to challenge the NMFA or its amendments. A copy of the memorandum in support of motion to dismiss is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.
