(the Company) entered into that certain Incremental Amendment (Amendment No. 5 to Credit Agreement) (the Amendment), by and among the Company, its subsidiaries signatory thereto, as guarantors, the lenders party thereto and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., in its capacity as administrative agent (the Administrative Agent), amending that certain Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of October 30, 2015 (as previously amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the Term Loan Credit Agreement), by and among the Company, the subsidiaries from time to time party thereto, as guarantors, the lenders from time to time party thereto and the Administrative Agent.
Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company borrowed an additional $500 million of incremental loans under a new tranche of term loans (the Incremental Term Loan Facility).

The interest rate margin applicable to the Incremental Term Loan Facility is 1.50%, in the case of base rate loans, and 2.50%, in the case of LIBOR loans. Proceeds from borrowings under the Incremental Term Loan Facility will be used (i) for general corporate purposes, including to fund purchases of equity interests of the Company and (ii) to pay fees and expenses relating to, or in connection with the transactions contemplated by, the Amendment. The incremental loans under the Incremental Term Loan Facility were issued at a price of 99.50% of par.

Forward-looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as anticipate, estimate, believe, continue, could, intend, may, plan, potential, predict, should, will, expect, objective, projection, forecast, goal, guidance, outlook, effort, target, trajectory or the negative of these terms or other comparable terms. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors the Company believes are appropriate in the circumstances.
These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to a material difference include the risks discussed in the Companys filings with the SEC and the following:
economic conditions generally; competition and pricing pressures; the Companys ability to align its investments in capital assets, including equipment, service centers and warehouses, to its customers demands; the Companys ability to successfully integrate and realize anticipated synergies, cost savings and profit improvement opportunities with respect to acquired companies; the Companys ability to develop and implement suitable information technology systems and prevent failures in or breaches of such systems; the Companys substantial indebtedness; the Companys ability to raise debt and equity capital; the Companys ability to maintain positive relationships with its network of third-party transportation providers; the Companys ability to attract and retain qualified drivers; litigation, including litigation related to alleged misclassification of independent contractors and securities class actions; labor matters, including the Companys ability to manage its subcontractors, and risks associated with labor disputes at its customers and efforts by labor organizations to organize its employees; risks associated with the Companys self-insured claims; risks associated with defined benefit plans for the Companys current and former employees; fluctuations in currency exchange rates; fluctuations in fixed and floating interest rates; fuel price and fuel surcharge changes; issues related to the Companys intellectual property rights; governmental regulation, including trade compliance laws; and governmental or political actions, including the United Kingdoms likely exit from the European Union. All forward-looking statements set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by the Company will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on the Company or its business or operations. Forward-looking statements set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K speak only as of the date hereof, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, changes in expectations or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the extent required by law.
