Item 8.01 Other Events
On January 9, 2014, YRC Worldwide Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that Company officials are contacting leaders of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (the “IBT”) to explore options following the announcement by the IBT that its employees had not approved the Memorandum of Understanding extension proposal made by the Company. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K and the attached press release contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The words “will,” “would,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and are subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, uncertainties and contingencies, known and unknown, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. It is important to note that the results of future discussions with the Teamsters, closing of the proposed refinancing transactions, the Company’s ability to restructure its pension fund debt and refinance its senior debt, and the overall results of the Company’s refinancing strategy will be determined by a number of factors, including (among others) those risk factors that are from time to time included in the Company’s reports filed with the SEC, including the Company’s reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q and the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 9, 2013.
