On March 21, 2019, YRC Worldwide Inc. operating companies YRC Inc., USF Holland LLC, and New Penn Motor Express LLC (collectively, the “Companies”) and Teamsters National Freight Industry Negotiating Committee (“TNFINC”), the negotiating arm of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (“IBT”), on behalf of itself and the Teamster Local Unions representing employees covered by the National Master Freight Agreement (“NMFA”), entered into an Extension Agreement to extend the term of the current NMFA to May 31, 2019. The extension is intended to permit the parties to finalize a tentative agreement for a new collective bargaining agreement and permit TNFINC to conduct the ratification process. The Extension Agreement further provides that any economic improvements for covered union employees provided in a new 2019 collective bargaining agreement shall be retroactive to April 1, 2019 unless expressly otherwise agreed by the parties.

On March 21, 2019, the Company reached a tentative agreement in principle for a new collective bargaining agreement with TNFINC. A new collective bargaining agreement will not become effective until it is ratified by the Company’s union employees at a future date, which date has not yet been determined.
