ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
In 2002, Emery Worldwide Airlines, Inc. ("EWA"), Menlo Worldwide Forwarding,
Inc. ("MWF")(Con-way Inc.'s former air freight forwarding subsidiary), and
Con-way Inc. were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed in state court in
California by approximately 140 former EWA pilots and crew members. The
lawsuit alleged wrongful termination in connection with the termination of
EWA's air carrier operations in 2001, and sought $500 million and certain
other unspecified damages. On June 30, 2006, EWA, MWF and Con-way Inc.
concluded a final settlement with all plaintiffs not previously dismissed in
the lawsuit. Under the terms of the settlement, plaintiffs received a cash
payment of $9.2 million, and the lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice. Con-
way believes that the cash settlement reduces by an equal amount its
estimated loss reserve applicable to grievances filed by the Air Line Pilots
Association ("ALPA") and/or its members protesting the cessation of EWA's air
carrier operations, that are currently the subject of litigation.
Accordingly, the settlement does not require Con-way to recognize any
additional loss.
