Interim Credit-Facility Amendment
Cudahy, Wis.—March 6, 2017 – Roadrunner Transportation Systems, Inc. (“Roadrunner”) (NYSE: RRTS), a leading asset-right transportation and asset-light logistics service provider, announced today that it has reached agreement with its lender group on an interim credit-facility amendment, which supports the Company by providing additional working capital loans and a forbearance provision, while working toward a previously-announced long-term loan amendment.
“We are very pleased with the progress we are making with our lender group,” said Curt Stoelting, President and Chief Operating Officer of Roadrunner. “The short-term amendment helps us to remain focused on serving our customers and clients and increasing our business as seasonal working capital needs begin to increase.”
