MENLO WORLDWIDE ANNOUNCES MAJOR EXPANSION IN CHINA WITH ACQUISITION OF SHANGHAI-
                          BASED 3PL CHIC HOLDINGS LTD.

   US$60 Million Deal Makes Menlo a Leading Provider of Intra-China Logistics


SAN MATEO, Calif., and SHANGHAI, China - Sept. 9, 2007 - Menlo Worldwide,

LLC, the global logistics subsidiary of Con-way Inc. (NYSE: CNW) announced

today the signing of a definitive agreement to purchase Chic Holdings Ltd.

and its wholly owned subsidiaries Shanghai Chic Logistics Co. Ltd. and

Shanghai Chic Supply Chain Management Co. Ltd. Menlo is acquiring privately

held Chic Holdings Ltd., a corporation registered in the Cayman Islands, and

all of its assets and subsidiaries for a cash payment of US$60 million plus

an undisclosed future earn-out incentive based on its performance.



Headquartered in Shanghai, Chic Logistics is a profitable, well-established

provider of domestic third-party logistics and transportation management

services in The People's Republic of China. The company has a full-service

portfolio and network with 130 operating sites in 78 cities, providing

superior coverage of China's highly industrialized eastern sectors as well as

the mainland's interior provinces. One of China's fastest-growing third-party

logistics firms, Chic Logistics produced revenues of US$55.2 million in 2006,

a 40 percent increase over 2005.



"Chic Logistics is highly respected within China as a superior operator with

an excellent service reputation among customers," said Robert L. Bianco Jr.,

president, Menlo Worldwide. "This is the most strategic acquisition in

Menlo's history. With Chic Logistics' domestic capabilities and network, we

immediately become a major player in the intra-China market - the next great

growth engine for transportation and logistics."



"Distribution and logistics management is an exceptionally dynamic market in

China," said Johnson Shen, CEO, Chic Logistics. "Joining with Menlo will help

us to accelerate growth, introduce more services for customers, and quickly

build into new markets with international capabilities. Our clients see this

as a logical and welcome step for Chic Logistics and our employees. It is a

good match of two successful businesses with complementary individual

strengths. Together we will offer a new, stronger business value to the

market."



Combined, the two companies will comprise more than 1,500 employees in China

operating from 139 sites in 79 cities, with nearly 180,000 square meters of

warehouse space under management. Menlo's China operations will be based at

Chic Logistics' headquarters in Shanghai.



Bianco noted that the acquisition fills in a key strategic component of

Menlo's service platform not only for mainland China, but also for the

broader Asia-Pacific region. The Chic Logistics acquisition, combined with

existing Menlo operations in China and other parts of Asia and the earlier

acquisition of Singapore-based Cougar Express Logistics with operations in

Southeast Asia, positions Menlo with one of the industry's strongest and most

extensive networks for managing Asia-Pacific freight and logistics. The

expanded Asia-Pacific network will also benefit the larger Menlo and Con-way

enterprise operations in North America and Europe to provide more

comprehensive global solutions to customers.



The  acquisition  fulfills  several  strategic  objectives  for  Menlo, which

include:



*  Establishes a material presence in China. Chic Logistics is a leading

   provider of domestic warehousing, distribution and transportation

   management services with an impressive roster of major national and

   multinational business customers. Chic Logistics gives Menlo a solid

   foothold in the market with an established network of offices and

   service locations; professional, experienced local management; quality

   customers; market knowledge and operating expertise; and a track record

   of sustained growth.

*  Improves market position, service portfolio. The acquisition enables Menlo

   to offer its current and prospective customers in China new options

   including proven service capability for in-country China logistics.

*  Creates domestic China growth platform. As manufacturing and production

   continue to migrate and expand into China's interior provinces, Chic

   Logistics positions Menlo to capitalize on growth in China's domestic

   economy, where accelerating consumer demand for increasingly diverse

   varieties of goods is expanding the market for logistics and

   transportation services.

*  Expands customer base and share of customers' business. The companies

   share a limited number of customers. Menlo has more than 600 accounts

   worldwide while Chic Logistics has two dozen primary clients in China,

   presenting significant opportunity for cross-selling and introducing

   expanded service solutions.

*  Enhances vertical industry presence. Both companies have a complementary

   vertical industry presence, each bringing respective strengths in

   automotive, consumer and industrial goods, high-tech, chemical and retail.

*  Leverages "non-asset" business model. Both Menlo Worldwide and Chic

   Logistics subscribe to "non-asset based" or "asset-light" business models

   which enable flexibility, customer responsiveness, effective cost control

   and the provision of high-value services.

*  Builds a clearly differentiated global network offering. The possibility

   of linking Chic Logistics' domestic network with the U.S.-based

   infrastructure of Menlo Worldwide and its sister companies, less-than-

   truckload (LTL) carrier Con-way Freight and truckload carrier Con-way

   Truckload, introduces a compelling future solution for "first-mile"

   logistics in China through "last-mile" delivery in North America.

   Additionally, as China's demand for imports grows, the Menlo

   Worldwide/Chic Logistics combination offers a possible "first-mile,

     last-mile" network for managing the flow of inbound goods into China and

     delivering them to end-users.



Bianco cited several additional potential opportunities to leverage the

acquisition as a foundation for exciting new solutions to traditional

challenges that face China-based global supply chain operations. Among the

opportunities: creating more effective import distribution programs, where

inbound goods arriving from North America, Europe or other Asia-Pacific sites

would be completely managed through the supply chain by Menlo Worldwide/Chic

Logistics, from origin consolidation to delivery at the end-user on the

mainland. He also foresees similar opportunities for supplier management

programs, where Menlo Worldwide and Chic Logistics would design more

effective export consolidation and delivery programs for goods manufactured

in China for export, providing shippers with improved supply-cycle

consistency while reducing global transportation costs.



"We believe there are many untapped or underserved areas where our combined

resources can truly bring new, high-value logistics, trucking and supply

chain solutions to China's importers, exporters and domestic shippers," said

Bianco. "This acquisition will enable us to build on the foundation of an

excellent company to profitably grow and realize the potential of this

exciting and vibrant market."



The acquisition is subject to fulfillment of customary closing conditions.

The boards of both companies have approved the agreement. Settlement of the

transaction is expected to occur during the fourth quarter. Menlo intends to

finance the transaction with existing cash resources.  The acquisition is

expected to be accretive to the earnings of Con-way Inc., Menlo Worldwide's

parent company, beginning in 2008.
