Roadrunner Announces Approval of 1-for-25 Reverse Stock Split

Roadrunner Transportation Systems, Inc. (“Roadrunner” or the “company”) (NYSE: RRTS), a leading asset-right transportation and asset-light logistics service provider, today announced that its board of directors and the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the company’s common stock approved a 1-for-25 reverse split of the company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The 1-for-25 reverse stock split will be effective upon the filing and effectiveness of a certificate of amendment to Roadrunner’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation after the market closes on April 4, 2019, and Roadrunner’s common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on April 5, 2019.

When the reverse stock split becomes effective, every 25 shares of Roadrunner’s issued and outstanding common stock will automatically be converted into one share of common stock. No fractional shares will be issued if, as a result of the reverse stock split, a stockholder would otherwise become entitled to a fractional share. Instead, stockholders who otherwise would hold fractional shares will be entitled to cash payments (without interest) in respect of such fractional shares. The reverse stock split will not impact any stockholder’s percentage ownership of Roadrunner, subject to the treatment of fractional shares. Following the reverse stock split, the number of outstanding shares of Roadrunner’s common stock will be reduced by a factor of 25. The certificate of amendment to Roadrunner’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation in connection with the reverse stock split will also proportionately decrease the number of authorized shares of common stock.

Roadrunner’s shares of common stock will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “RRTS” but will trade under a new CUSIP. The reverse stock split is expected to increase the market price per share of Roadrunner’s common stock in order to comply with the NYSE continued listing standards relating to minimum price per share.

American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, Roadrunner’s transfer agent, will act as the exchange agent for the reverse stock split. Please contact American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC for further information at (877) 248-6417 or (718) 921-8317.
