Standby Purchase Agreement Amendment

As previously disclosed on Roadrunner Transportation Systems, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2018, the Company entered into a Standby Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) on November 8, 2018 with funds affiliated with Elliott Management Corporation (“Elliott”) pursuant to which Elliott agreed to backstop the Company’s contemplated rights offering to raise $450 million. Pursuant to the SPA, Elliott agreed to exercise its basic subscription right in full and purchase all unsubscribed shares of the Company’s common stock in the rights offering. The SPA had certain outside dates of January 31, 2019, including the requirement that the rights offering be closed by January 31, 2019. On January 10, 2019, the Company and Elliott entered into an amendment to the SPA (the “Amendment”) pursuant to which Elliott agreed to move the outside date and the required rights offering closing date from January 31, 2019 to March 1, 2019. The purpose of the Amendment extending the outside date is to accommodate the change in timing for the transaction due entirely to the partial government shutdown.

The foregoing description of the Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.48(A).

As a result, pursuant to the Investment Agreement, as amended by the Investment Agreement Amendment, the Company may issue and sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers may purchase from the Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Investment Agreement (as amended), from time to time until March 2, 2019, the remaining 19,022 shares of the Company’s Series E-1 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series E-1 Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price of $920 per share.
