To Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks, Trust Companies and Other Nominees:
We have been engaged by Canada Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation (which we refer to as “Purchaser”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of XPO Logistics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (which we refer to as “Parent”), to act as Information Agent in connection with Purchaser’s offer to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.625 per share (which we refer to as “Shares”), of Con-way Inc., a Delaware corporation (which we refer to as “Con-way”), at a purchase price of $47.60 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated September 15, 2015 (what we refer to as the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related Letter of Transmittal (what we refer to as the “Letter of Transmittal” and what, together with the Offer to Purchase, each as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, we refer to as the “Offer”) enclosed herewith. Please furnish copies of the enclosed materials to those of your clients for whom you hold Shares registered in your name or in the name of your nominee.
The Offer is not subject to any financing condition. The conditions to the Offer are described in Section 15 of the Offer to Purchase.
For your information and for forwarding to your clients for whom you hold Shares registered in your name or in the name of your nominee, we are enclosing the following documents:
1. The Offer to Purchase;
2. The Letter of Transmittal for your use in accepting the Offer and tendering Shares and for the information of your clients, together with the included Internal Revenue Service Form W-9;
3. A notice of guaranteed delivery to be used to accept the Offer if Shares and all other required documents cannot be delivered to Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “Depositary”) by the Expiration Date or if the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed by the Expiration Date (the “Notice of Guaranteed Delivery”);
4. A form of letter which may be sent to your clients for whose accounts you hold Shares registered in your name or in the name of your nominee, with space provided for obtaining such clients’ instructions with regard to the Offer; and
5. A return envelope addressed to the Depositary for your use only.
We urge you to contact your clients as promptly as possible. Please note that the Offer and withdrawal rights will expire immediately after 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on October 14, 2015, unless the Offer is extended or earlier terminated.
The Offer is being made pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 9, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Parent, Purchaser and Con-way. The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that, as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Offer and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the remaining conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Purchaser will be merged with and into Con-way (the “Merger”), with Con-way continuing after the Merger as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.
For Shares to be properly tendered pursuant to the Offer, (a) the share certificates or confirmation of receipt of such Shares under the procedure for book-entry transfer, together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, including any required signature guarantees, or, in the case of book-entry transfer, either such Letter of Transmittal or an Agent’s Message (as defined in Section 2 of the Offer to Purchase) in lieu of such Letter of Transmittal, and any other documents required in the Letter of Transmittal, must be timely received by the Depositary or (b) the tendering stockholder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures, all in accordance with the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal. You may gain some additional time by making use of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. Shares tendered by the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery will be excluded from the calculation of the Minimum Condition (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), unless such Shares and other required documents are received by the Depositary by the Expiration Date.
Except as set forth in the Offer to Purchase, Purchaser will not pay any fees or commissions to any broker or dealer or other person for soliciting tenders of Shares pursuant to the Offer. Purchaser will, however, upon request, reimburse brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and other nominees for customary mailing and handling expenses incurred by them in forwarding the offering material to their customers. Purchaser will pay all stock transfer taxes applicable to its purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer, subject to Instruction 6 of the Letter of Transmittal.
