Reference is made to the Indenture, dated as of December 31, 2004, among YRC Worldwide Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly known as Yellow Roadway Corporation) (“YRC” or the “Company”), certain subsidiary guarantors named therein and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended by a Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 31, 2009 (as amended, the “Indenture”), relating to the Company’s 5.0% Net Share Settled Contingent Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations other than those contained in this Company Notice and, if given or made, such information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized. This Company Notice does not constitute an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell securities in any circumstances or jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. The delivery of this Company Notice shall not, under any circumstances, create any implication that the information contained herein is current as of any time subsequent to the date of such information. None of the Company, its Board of Directors or its employees is making any representation or recommendation to any Holder as to whether to exercise or refrain from exercising the Put Option. You should consult your own financial and tax advisors and must make your own decision as to whether to exercise the Put Option and, if so, the amount of Notes for which to exercise the Put Option.

We and our affiliates, including our executive officers and directors, will be prohibited by Rule 13e-4(f)(6) and Rule 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), from purchasing any of the Notes outside of the Put Option for ten business days after the expiration of the Put Option. Following that time, we expressly reserve the absolute right, in our sole discretion from time to time in the future to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, and to purchase any of the Notes, whether or not any Notes are purchased by the Company pursuant to the Put Option, through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, exchange offers or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine, which may be more or less than the price to be paid pursuant to the Put Option and could be for cash or other consideration. We cannot assure you as to which, if any, of these alternatives, or a combination thereof, we will pursue. Additionally, our credit agreement may prohibit us from carrying out such redemptions.

SUMMARY TERM SHEET

The following are answers to some of the questions that you may have about the Put Option. To understand the Put Option fully and for a more detailed description of the terms of the Put Option, we urge you to read carefully the remainder of this Company Notice because the information in this summary is not complete and the remainder of this Company Notice contains additional important information. We have included page references to direct you to a more detailed description of the topics in this summary.

Who is obligated to purchase my Notes?

YRC Worldwide Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly known as Yellow Roadway Corporation) (“YRC,” the “Company,” “we” or “our”), is obligated, at your option, to purchase its 5.0% Net Share Settled Contingent Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”). (See Page 4)

Why are you obligated to purchase my Notes?

The right of each holder (each, a “Holder”) of the Notes to sell and our obligation to purchase the Notes pursuant to the Put Option is a term of the Notes under the Indenture, dated as of December 31, 2004, among the Company, certain subsidiary guarantors named therein and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended by a Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 31, 2009 (as amended, the “Indenture”), and has been a right of Holders from the time the Notes were issued. We are required to repurchase the Notes of any Holder exercising the Put Option pursuant to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture. (See Page 4)

What securities are you obligated to purchase?

We are obligated to purchase all of the Notes surrendered at the option of the Holder thereof. As of June 26, 2013, there was $269,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding. (See Page 4)

How much will you pay and what is the form of payment?

Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and the Notes, we will pay, in cash, a purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) equal to $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, August 8, 2013 (the “Purchase Date”), with respect to any and all Notes validly surrendered for purchase and not withdrawn. The Purchase Price is based solely on the requirements of the Indenture and the Notes and bears no relationship to the market price of the Notes or our Common Stock (as defined below). The Purchase Date is an Interest Payment Date under the terms of the Indenture. Accordingly, interest accrued to the Purchase Date will be paid to holders of record as of the Record Date, as defined in the Indenture, and we expect that there will be no accrued and unpaid interest due as part of the Purchase Price. (See Pages 4-5)

Do you have the financial resources to pay the Purchase Price?

We expect to have sufficient cash to pay the Purchase Price.

How can I determine the market value of the Notes?

There currently is a limited trading market for the Notes. To the extent that the Notes are traded, prices of the Notes may fluctuate widely depending on such factors as trading volume, the balance between buy and sell orders, prevailing interest rates, the market price of our Common Stock, our operating results and the market for similar securities. Holders are urged to obtain current market information for the Notes, to the extent available, and our Common Stock (as defined below) before making any decision with respect to the Put Option. Our common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), into which the Notes may be convertible, is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “YRCW.” On June 19, 2013, the closing sale price of our Common Stock on NASDAQ was $24.00 per share. (See Pages 5-6)

Is the Company making any recommendation about the Put Option?

None of the Company or its Board of Directors or employees is making any recommendation as to whether you should exercise or refrain from exercising the Put Option. You must make your own decision whether to exercise the Put Option and, if so, the amount of Notes for which to exercise the Put Option. (See Page 5)

When does the Put Option expire?

The Put Option expires at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 7, 2013 (the “Expiration Date”). We will not extend the period that Holders have to exercise the Put Option unless required to do so by applicable law (including, but not limited to, the federal securities laws) or as otherwise discussed herein. (See Page 4)

What are the conditions to the Company’s purchase of the Notes?

The purchase by the Company of validly surrendered Notes is not subject to any conditions other than that the Company’s purchase is not unlawful and satisfaction of the procedural requirements described in this Company Notice. Delivery of Notes by book-entry transfer electronically through the Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”) of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) is a condition to the payment of the Purchase Price to the Holder of such Notes. (See Pages 4 and 7-9)

How do I surrender my Notes?

To surrender your Notes for purchase pursuant to the Put Option, you must surrender the Notes through the transmittal procedures of DTC on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.

Holders whose Notes are held by a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee must contact such nominee if such Holder desires to surrender such Holder’s Notes and instruct such nominee to surrender the Notes on the Holder’s behalf through the transmittal procedures of DTC on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.

Holders who are DTC participants should surrender their Notes electronically through ATOP, subject to the terms and procedures of that system, on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.

You bear the risk of untimely surrender of your Notes. You must allow sufficient time for completion of the necessary DTC procedures before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. By surrendering your Notes through the transmittal procedures of DTC, you agree to be bound by the terms of the Put Option set forth in this Company Notice. (See Pages 7-9)

If I exercise the Put Option, when will I receive payment for my Notes?

We will accept for payment all validly surrendered Notes promptly upon expiration of the Put Option. We will, prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on August 7, 2013, deposit with the Paying Agent the appropriate amount of cash required to pay the Purchase Price for the surrendered Notes, and the Paying Agent will promptly distribute the cash to DTC, the sole record Holder. DTC will thereafter distribute the cash to its participants in accordance with its procedures. (See Page 10)

Your delivery of the Notes by book-entry transfer electronically through DTC’s ATOP system is a condition to your receipt of the Purchase Price for such Notes.

Can I withdraw previously surrendered Notes?

Yes. To withdraw previously surrendered Notes, you (or your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee) must comply with the withdrawal procedures of DTC in sufficient time to allow DTC to withdraw your Notes prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.

You bear the risk of untimely withdrawal of previously surrendered Notes. You must allow sufficient time for completion of the DTC procedures before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. (See Page 9)

2

Do I need to do anything if I do not wish to exercise the Put Option?

No. If you do not surrender your Notes before the expiration of the Put Option, we will not purchase your Notes and such Notes will remain outstanding subject to their existing terms. (See Page 7)

If I choose to surrender my Notes for purchase, do I have to surrender all of my Notes?

No. You may surrender all of your Notes, a portion of your Notes or none of your Notes. If you wish to surrender a portion of your Notes for purchase, however, you must surrender your Notes in a principal amount of $1,000 or a multiple of $1,000. (See Page 7)

If I do not surrender my Notes for purchase, will I continue to be able to exercise my conversion rights?

Yes. If you do not surrender your Notes for purchase, your conversion rights will not be affected. You will continue to have the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, subject to the terms, conditions and adjustments specified in the Indenture and the Notes. (See Page 5)

If I am a U.S. resident for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will I have to pay taxes if I surrender my Notes for purchase pursuant to the Put Option?

The receipt of cash in exchange for Notes pursuant to the Put Option will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes and you may recognize income, gain or loss. We recommend that you consult with your tax advisor regarding the actual tax consequences to you. (See Pages 11-13)

Who is the Paying Agent?

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is serving as Paying Agent in connection with the Put Option. Its address and telephone and fax numbers are set forth on the front cover of this Company Notice.

Whom can I contact if I have questions about the Put Option?

IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING THE PUT OPTION

1. Information Concerning the Company. YRC Worldwide Inc., a Delaware corporation (“YRC,” the “Company,” “we” or “our”), is obligated to purchase its 5.0% Net Share Settled Contingent Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”) that have been surrendered for purchase pursuant to the Put Option and not withdrawn. The Notes are convertible into cash and, if applicable, shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, subject to the terms, conditions and adjustments specified in the Indenture and the Notes. The Company is both the “filing person” and the “subject company,” as such terms are defined under Rule 14d-1(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

YRC, one of the largest transportation service providers in the world, is a holding company that through wholly owned operating subsidiaries and its interest in a joint venture offers its customers a wide range of transportation services. These services include global, national and regional transportation.

Our principal executive offices are located at 10990 Roe Avenue, Overland Park, Kansas 66211 and our main telephone number at that address is (913) 696-6100. Our website address is www.yrcw.com. We have not incorporated by reference into this Company Notice the information included on or linked from our website, and you should not consider it to be a part of this Company Notice.

2. Information Concerning the Notes. On December 31, 2004, we issued $247,650,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes. Cash interest accrues on the Notes at the rate of 5.0% per annum and is payable semi-annually on August 8 and February 8 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) to the person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the preceding July 15 or January 15 (each, a “Record Date”), as the case may be. The Notes mature on August 8, 2023. As of June 26, 2013, there was $269,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding.

2.1 The Company’s Obligation to Purchase the Notes. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, dated as of December 31, 2004 (the “Original Indenture”), among the Company, certain subsidiary guarantors named therein and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended by a Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 31, 2009 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Original Indenture, the “Indenture”), we are obligated to purchase all of the Notes validly surrendered and not withdrawn, at the Holder’s option (the “Put Option”), on August 8, 2013 (the “Purchase Date”).

The Put Option will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 7, 2013 (the “Expiration Date”). We will not extend the period that Holders have to exercise the Put Option unless required to do so by applicable law (including, but not limited to, the federal securities laws) or as otherwise discussed herein.

The purchase by the Company of validly surrendered Notes is not subject to any conditions other than that the Company’s purchase is not unlawful and satisfaction of the procedural requirements described in this Company Notice.

If any Notes remain outstanding following the expiration of the Put Option, the Company will become obligated to purchase the Notes, at the option of the Holders, in whole or in part, on August 8, 2018 at a purchase price in cash equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date thereof.

2.2 Purchase Price. Pursuant to terms of the Indenture and the Notes, the purchase price to be paid by the Company for the Notes on the Purchase Date is equal to $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Purchase Date (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Date is an Interest Payment Date under the terms of the Indenture. Accordingly, interest accrued to the Purchase Date will be paid to record holders as of the Record Date, and we expect that there will be no accrued and unpaid interest due as part of the Purchase Price. We have determined that the Purchase Price will be paid in cash with respect to any and all Notes validly surrendered for purchase (and not thereafter withdrawn) prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. Notes surrendered for purchase will be accepted only in principal amounts equal to $1,000 or a multiple of $1,000. Delivery of the Notes by book-entry transfer to the account maintained by the Paying Agent with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) is a condition to the payment of the Purchase Price to the Holder of such Notes.

4

The Purchase Price is based solely on the requirements of the Indenture and the Notes and does not necessarily bear any relationship to the market price of the Notes or our Common Stock. Thus, the Purchase Price may be significantly higher or lower than the current market price of the Notes. Holders of Notes are urged to obtain the best available information as to potential current market prices of the Notes, to the extent available, and our Common Stock before making a decision whether to surrender their Notes for purchase.

None of the Company or our Board of Directors or employees is making any recommendation to Holders as to whether to exercise or refrain from exercising the Put Option. Each Holder must make his or her own decision whether to exercise the Put Option and, if so, the principal amount of Notes for which to exercise the Put Option based on such Holder’s assessment of the current market value of the Notes and our Common Stock and other relevant factors.

We recommend that you also consult with your tax and financial advisors with respect to the tax consequences of exercising the Put Option, including the applicability and effect of any U.S. federal, state and local law and any non-U.S. tax consequences in light of your own particular circumstances.

2.3 Conversion Rights of the Notes. The Notes are convertible into cash and, if applicable, shares of our Common Stock, in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Indenture and the Notes. The initial conversion price of the Notes was $39.24 per share of Common Stock ($294,300 per share of Common Stock taking into account the reverse stock splits effective on September 30, 2010 and December 1, 2011), subject to adjustment under certain circumstances as described in the Indenture. The Paying Agent is currently acting as Conversion Agent for the Notes. The Conversion Agent can be contacted at the address and telephone and fax numbers set forth on the front cover of this Company Notice.

Holders who do not surrender their Notes for purchase pursuant to the Put Option, or who validly withdraw a surrender of their Notes in compliance with the withdrawal procedures described in Section 4 of this Company Notice, will retain the right to convert their Notes subject to the terms, conditions and adjustments specified in the Indenture and the Notes. If a Holder validly surrenders his or her Notes for purchase pursuant to the Put Option and the Holder subsequently wishes to convert such Notes pursuant to the Indenture, the Holder may not convert his or her surrendered Notes unless such Holder validly withdraws the Notes in compliance with the procedures described in Section 4 of this Company Notice.

2.4 Market for the Notes and our Common Stock. There currently is a limited trading market for the Notes. To the extent that the Notes are traded, prices of the Notes may fluctuate widely depending on such factors as trading volume, the balance between buy and sell orders, prevailing interest rates, the market price of our Common Stock, our operating results and the market for similar securities. A debt security with a smaller outstanding principal amount available for trading (a smaller “float”) may command a lower price and trade with greater volatility than would a comparable debt security with a larger float. Consequently, our purchase of the Notes, if any, pursuant to the Put Option may reduce the float and may negatively affect the liquidity, market value and price volatility of the Notes that remain outstanding following the Put Option.

5

Our Common Stock, into which the Notes are convertible, is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “YRCW.” The following table shows, for the periods indicated, the high and low sales prices per share of our Common Stock as reported by NASDAQ (adjusted to give effect to reverse stock splits effective on September 30, 2010 and December 1, 2011):

On June 19, 2013, the closing sale price of our Common Stock, as reported by NASDAQ, was $24.00 per share. As of April 30, 2013, there were 9,396,860 shares of Common Stock outstanding.

The Holders of Notes are not entitled to dividends. If Common Stock is received by Holders in a conversion of the Notes, such Holders will be entitled to dividends, if any, paid to holders of Common Stock. The Company historically has not paid dividends on its Common Stock. Our credit agreement and the indenture for our 10% Series B Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2015 limit our ability to declare any cash dividends on any of our outstanding capital stock.

We urge you to obtain current market information for the Notes, to the extent available, and our Common Stock before making any decision whether to exercise or refrain from exercising the Put Option.

2.5 Optional Redemption. The Notes are redeemable for cash at our option at any time, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption, as provided for in the Indenture and the Notes. However, effective on the date of this Company Notice, we and our affiliates, including our executive officers and directors, are prohibited under applicable United States federal securities laws from purchasing or redeeming Notes (or the right to purchase or redeem Notes) other than through the Put Option until at least the tenth business day after the Purchase Date. (See Page 11). Additionally, our credit agreement may prohibit us from carrying out such redemptions.

2.6 Ranking. The Notes are our unsecured senior obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all our other existing and future unsecured indebtedness and senior to any of our subordinated indebtedness. The Notes are guaranteed by certain of our domestic operating subsidiaries. The Notes are effectively subordinated to all of our and our subsidiaries’ existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the security for such secured debt, and are effectively subordinated to all liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

6

2.7 Notice Period. Pursuant to Section 3.08(c) of the Indenture, the Company is required to give written notice of any Purchase Date to the Holders not less than 30 Business Days prior to any Purchase Date. Accordingly, the Company was required to provide this Company Notice on or before June 26, 2013.

3. Procedures to Be Followed by Holders Electing to Surrender Notes for Purchase. Holders will not be entitled to receive the Purchase Price for their Notes unless they validly surrender (and do not thereafter withdraw) the Notes on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. Only registered Holders are authorized to surrender their Notes for purchase. Holders may surrender some or all of their Notes; however, any Notes surrendered must be in a principal amount of $1,000 or a multiple of $1,000.

If Holders do not validly surrender their Notes on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date or if they withdraw validly surrendered Notes before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, their Notes will not be purchased and will remain outstanding subject to the existing terms of the Notes and the Indenture.

You will not be required to pay any commission to us, DTC or the Paying Agent in connection with your Put Option. However, there may be commissions you need to pay your broker in connection with the surrender of the Notes.

3.1 Method of Delivery. The Trustee has informed the Company that, as of the date of this Company Notice, all custodians and beneficial holders of the Notes hold the Notes through DTC accounts and that there are no certificated Notes in non-global form. Accordingly, all Notes surrendered for purchase hereunder must be delivered through DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”), subject to the terms and conditions of that system.

This Company Notice constitutes the Company’s notice of repurchase right described in the Indenture and delivery of the Notes via ATOP will satisfy the Holders’ requirement for physical delivery of a Repurchase Notice as defined and described in the Indenture. Delivery of Notes, including delivery and acceptance through ATOP, is at the election and risk of the person surrendering such Notes.

3.2 Agreement to be Bound by the Terms of the Put Option. By surrendering Notes through the transmittal procedures of DTC, a Holder acknowledges and agrees as follows:

7

3.3 Delivery of Notes.

Notes Held Through a Custodian. A Holder whose Notes are held by a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee must contact such nominee if such Holder desires to surrender his or her Notes and instruct such nominee to surrender the Notes for purchase on the Holder’s behalf through the transmittal procedures of DTC as set forth below in “Notes in Global Form” on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.

8

Notes in Global Form. A Holder who is a DTC participant may elect to surrender to the Company his or her beneficial interest in the Notes by:

In surrendering through ATOP, the electronic instructions sent to DTC by the Holder (or by a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee on the Holder’s behalf), and transmitted by DTC to the Paying Agent, will acknowledge, on behalf of DTC and the Holder, receipt by the Holder of, and agreement to be bound by, the terms of the Put Option, including those set forth in Section 3.2 of this Company Notice.

You bear the risk of untimely surrender of your Notes. You must allow sufficient time for completion of the necessary DTC procedures before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.

Unless we default in making payment of the Purchase Price, interest on Notes validly surrendered for purchase will cease to accrue on and after the Purchase Date, whether or not such Notes are delivered to the Paying Agent, and immediately after the Purchase Date all rights (other than the right to receive the Purchase Price upon delivery of the Notes) of the Holder of such Notes will terminate.

4. Right of Withdrawal. Notes surrendered for purchase may be withdrawn at any time if withdrawn in sufficient time to allow DTC to withdraw those Notes prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. In order to withdraw Notes, Holders (or such Holders’ broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee) must comply with the withdrawal procedures of DTC. This means a Holder must deliver, or cause to be delivered, a valid withdrawal request through the ATOP system from the tendering DTC participant in sufficient time to allow DTC to withdraw those Notes before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. The withdrawal notice must:

We will determine all questions as to the validity, form and eligibility, including time of receipt, of notices of withdrawal.

You bear the risk of untimely withdrawal of your Notes. You must allow sufficient time for completion of the necessary DTC procedures before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.

Holders may withdraw any Notes previously delivered to the Paying Agent and not yet accepted for payment after the expiration of 40 business days from the date of this Company Notice.

9

5. Payment for Surrendered Notes. We will, prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on August 7, 2013, deposit with the Paying Agent the appropriate amount of cash required to pay the Purchase Price for the surrendered Notes, and the Paying Agent will promptly thereafter cause the cash to be distributed to each record Holder that has validly delivered its Notes (and not validly withdrawn such delivery) prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. Your delivery of the Notes by book-entry transfer electronically through DTC’s ATOP system is a condition to your receipt of the Purchase Price for such Notes.

The total amount of funds required by us to purchase all of the Notes is $269,000 (assuming that all of the Notes are validly surrendered for purchase and accepted for payment). We expect to have sufficient cash to pay the Purchase Price.

6. Notes Acquired. Any Notes purchased by us pursuant to the Put Option will be canceled by the Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

7. Plans or Proposals of the Company. Except as described in our filings with the SEC or nationally released press releases, we currently have no plans which would be material to a Holder’s decision to exercise the Put Option, which relate to or which would result in:

8. Interests of Directors, Executive Officers and Affiliates of the Company in the Notes. Neither we nor, to our knowledge after making reasonable inquiry, any of our executive officers or directors or any “associate” or subsidiary of any such person, has any beneficial interest in the Notes, or has engaged in any transaction in the Notes during the 60 days preceding the date of this Company Notice. A list of our executive officers and directors is attached to this Company Notice as Schedule A. The term “associate” is used as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act.

Certain of our directors and executive officers are participants in ordinary course equity compensation plans and arrangements involving our Common Stock, as disclosed by us prior to the date hereof. Except as described in the previous sentence, neither we nor, to our knowledge after making reasonable inquiry, any of our executive officers or directors, is a party to any contract, arrangement, understanding or agreement with any other

10

person relating, directly or indirectly, to the Put Option or with respect to any of our securities, including, but not limited to, any contract, arrangement, understanding or agreement concerning the transfer or the voting of our securities, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of loans, guarantees against loss or the giving or withholding of proxies, consents or authorizations.

9. Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals. We are not aware of any license or regulatory permit that is material to our business that might be adversely affected by the Put Option, or of any approval or other action by any government or regulatory authority or agency that is required for the acquisition of the Notes as described in this Company Notice. Should any approval or other action be required, we presently intend to seek the approval or take the action. However, we cannot assure you that we would be able to obtain any required approval or take any other required action.

10. Purchases of Notes by the Company and Its Affiliates. The Company made no purchases of the Notes during the 60 days preceding the date of this Company Notice.

Effective on the date of this Company Notice, we and our affiliates, including our executive officers and directors, are prohibited under applicable United States federal securities laws from purchasing Notes (or the right to purchase Notes) other than through the Put Option until at least the tenth business day after the Purchase Date. Following such time, if any Notes remain outstanding, we may exercise our right to redeem such Notes, in whole or in part, and we and our affiliates may purchase Notes in the open market, in private transactions, through a subsequent tender offer, or otherwise, any of which may be consummated at purchase prices higher or lower than the Purchase Price, or which may be paid in cash or other consideration. Any decision to purchase Notes after the Purchase Date, if any, will depend upon many factors, including the market price of the Notes, the amount of Notes delivered for purchase pursuant to the Put Option, the market price of our Common Stock, our business and financial position, and general economic and market conditions. Any such purchase may be on the same terms or on terms more or less favorable to the Holders of the Notes than the terms of the Put Option as described in this Company Notice. Additionally, our credit agreement may prohibit us from carrying out such redemptions.

11. Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.

TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH IRS CIRCULAR 230, HOLDERS ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT: (A) ANY DISCUSSION OF FEDERAL TAX ISSUES IN THIS NOTICE IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE RELIED UPON, AND CANNOT BE RELIED UPON, BY HOLDERS OF NOTES FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON SUCH HOLDERS UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”); (B) SUCH DISCUSSION IS WRITTEN IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR MATTERS ADDRESSED HEREIN; AND (C) HOLDERS OF NOTES SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR.

The following is a discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to U.S. Holders or Non-U.S. Holders (each as defined below) who surrender Notes for purchase pursuant to the Put Option. For this purpose, a “holder” means a beneficial owner of a Note; a “U.S. Holder” means a holder that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is (i) a citizen or resident alien individual of the United States, (ii) a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust if it either (x) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (y) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person; and a “Non-U.S. Holder” means a holder that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is an individual, corporation, estate or trust and, in each case, is not a U.S. Holder.

If an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds a Note, the tax treatment of such partnership and each partner thereof will generally depend upon the status and activities of the partnership and the partner. Any such entity or partner thereof should consult its tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to it and its partners of surrendering a Note for purchase pursuant to the Put Option.

This discussion deals only with Notes held as capital assets (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a holder in light of its own particular circumstances, nor does it deal with special situations, such as:

This discussion is based upon the provisions of the Code, Treasury regulations, rulings, other administrative guidance and judicial decisions, all as of the date hereof. Those authorities may be changed, perhaps retroactively, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below.

WE RECOMMEND TO EACH HOLDER THAT INTENDS TO SURRENDER ANY NOTE FOR PURCHASE PURSUANT TO THE PUT OPTION TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL, AND ANY NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES TO IT IN LIGHT OF ITS OWN PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

11.1 U.S. Holders

Surrender of Notes for Purchase. The surrender of any Note by a U.S. Holder for purchase pursuant to the Put Option generally will be treated as a taxable sale of the Note for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Such U.S. Holder generally will recognize gain or loss upon such sale equal to the difference between (i) the cash received by such U.S. Holder in consideration for the surrender of the Note and (ii) such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Note at the time of sale. Because the Notes are treated as “contingent payment debt instruments” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in a Note generally will be equal to the cost of the Note to such U.S. Holder, increased by any interest income previously accrued by the U.S. Holder and decreased by the amount of any projected payments previously made on the Note to the U.S. Holder. Under the special rules applicable to contingent payment debt instruments, U.S. Holder generally will treat any gain as interest income and any loss as ordinary loss to the extent of the excess of previous interest inclusions over the total negative adjustments previously taken into account as ordinary loss, and the balance as capital loss. A U.S. Holder that acquired a Note at premium should consult his or her tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of surrendering the Note for purchase pursuant to the Put Option.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. In general, information reporting requirements will apply to the amount paid to a U.S. Holder in consideration for the surrender of a Note for purchase pursuant to the Put Option, unless such U.S. Holder is an exempt recipient (such as a corporation). A U.S. Holder may also be subject to backup withholding on such payment unless the U.S. Holder (i) provides a correct U.S. taxpayer identification number, certifies as to no loss of exemption from backup withholding and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements or (ii) is a corporation or other exempt recipient and, if required, provides a certification to such effect. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is furnished on a timely basis to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”).

11.2 Non-U.S. Holders

Surrender of Notes for Purchase. Subject to the discussion of backup withholding below, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on gain recognized on the surrender of a Note for purchase pursuant to the Put Option unless:

Generally, a corporation is a USRPHC if the fair market value of its United States real property interests equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests and its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business (all as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes). YRC does not believe that it has been a USRPHC for any year during which the Notes have been outstanding, nor does it presently anticipate that it will be a USRPHC for the current year.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Payments to a Non-U.S. Holder in consideration for the surrender of the Notes for purchase pursuant to the Put Option made through a U.S. office of a broker generally will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless the payee certifies under penalties of perjury that it is not a U.S. person or otherwise establishes an exemption. Any such payments made through a non-U.S. office of a U.S. broker or of a non-U.S. broker with certain specified U.S. connections generally will be subject to information reporting, but not backup withholding, unless the broker has evidence in its records that the payee is not a U.S. person and has no knowledge or reason to know to the contrary.

Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against the Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided the required information is furnished on a timely basis to the IRS.
