On
January 7, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
of
Celadon Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), as
administrator of the Company’s 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan, approved an
amendment to the Award Notice dated October 26, 2007, pursuant to
which
Stephen Russell, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the
Board, received an option to purchase up to 308,284 shares of the
Company’s common stock. The amendment permits Mr. Russell to
make a partial assignment of the option (the “Partial Assignment”) to his
son, Jonathan Russell, who is also an executive officer of the
Company. The Partial Assignment represents that portion of the
option related to the purchase of up to 75,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock.
Upon
the Compensation Committee’s adoption of the amendment, Mr. Russell
subsequently made the Partial Assignment, thereby giving effect to
the
transfer to Jonathan Russell. Mr. Russell retained the balance
of the original award, an option to purchase up to 233,284 shares
of the
Company’s common stock. Both the Partial Assignment and the
portion of the award retained by Mr. Russell remain subject to the
terms
of the original option award, as disclosed on the Current Report
on Form
8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November
1,
2007.
