("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. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
