Item 1.03.

Bankruptcy or Receivership.

The information set forth under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the Purchase Agreement is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.01.

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

As previously disclosed, on August 6, 2023 (the “Petition Date”), Yellow Corporation (the “Company”) and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company Parties”), filed voluntary petitions for relief (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered under the caption In re: Yellow Corporation, et al., Case No. 23-11069.

On December 20, 2023, the Company consummated the sale of certain of the Company’s real estate holdings (the “Sold Real Estate”) to XPO, Inc. (“XPO”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $870 million in cash (the “Yellow Asset Sale”). The Yellow Asset Sale was consummated pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 4, 2023, by and among the Company Parties and XPO (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Sold Real Estate includes three leases (two of which related to leased service centers) and the right to designate, in consultation with the Company, additional contracts that are exclusively related to the Sold Real Estate for a period of 45 days following consummation of the Yellow Asset Sale. XPO assumed certain liabilities related to the Sold Real Estate, including liabilities under three leases, certain cure costs required to be paid pursuant to the Chapter 11 Cases in connection with the assumption of the three leases, liabilities for taxes (subject to certain exceptions), and liabilities relating to environmental, health or safety matters in connection with ownership, operation, use or maintenance of the Sold Real Estate, to the extent not extinguished by the Chapter 11 Cases.

The Yellow Asset Sale was consummated pursuant to Section 363 of Bankruptcy Code and was confirmed by the previously reported order of the Bankruptcy Court, dated December 12, 2023.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Purchase Agreement, the form of which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 15, 2023, and is incorporated by reference herein. The Purchase Agreement has been provided to investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company or XPO. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules provided by the Company to XPO in connection with the signing of the Purchase Agreement or in filings of the parties with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. These confidential disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties and certain covenants set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement were used for the purposes of allocating risk between the Company and XPO rather than establishing matters of fact. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement should not be relied on as characterization of the actual state of facts about the Company or XPO.
