Item 3.03.
Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 
 
 
On April 4, 2019, Roadrunner Transportation Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”), to effect a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”), as described in its Definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2019. The Certificate of Amendment and, as a result, the Reverse Stock Split took effect on April 4, 2019 and the Company’s common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on April 5, 2019.
Pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, shares of the Company’s common stock were automatically consolidated at the rate of 1-for-25 without any further action on the part of the Company’s stockholders. All fractional shares owned by each stockholder were aggregated and to the extent after aggregating all fractional shares any stockholder was entitled to a fraction of a share, such stockholder became entitled to receive, in lieu of the issuance of such fractional share, a cash payment based on a pre-split cash in lieu rate of $0.4235, which is the volume weighted average trading price per share on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding April 4, 2019.
Following the Reverse Stock Split, stockholders holding certificated shares are required to exchange their stock certificates for new stock certificates representing the appropriate number of shares of the common stock resulting from the Reverse Stock Split and will be furnished the necessary materials and instructions for the surrender and exchange of share certificates at the appropriate time by our transfer agent. Stockholders will not have to pay any transfer fee or other fee in connection with such exchange.
Certain of the Company’s registered holders of the Company’s common stock may hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form with the transfer agent. These stockholders do not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of the common stock. They are, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares registered in their accounts. Stockholders who hold shares electronically in book-entry form with the transfer agent will not need to take action to receive whole shares reflecting the Reverse Stock Split, subject to adjustment for treatment of fractional shares.
The Company’s shares of common stock will continue to trade on the NYSE under the symbol “RRTS” but will trade under a new CUSIP number. The Reverse Stock Split was intended to increase the market price per share of the Company’s common stock in order to comply with the NYSE’s continued listing standards relating to minimum price per share.
The foregoing description of the Certificate of Amendment is only a summary and does not purport to be complete, and such description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.03.
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
 
 
 
The information set forth in Item 3.03 hereof is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.03.
The Certificate of Amendment also decreased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 1,100,000,000 shares to 44,000,000 shares.
Item 8.01.
Other Events.
 
 
 
On April 5, 2019, the Company issued a press release announcing the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Roadrunner Announces Completion of 1-for-25 Reverse Stock Split Downers Grove, IL (BUSINESS WIRE) — April 5, 2019 – Roadrunner Transportation Systems, Inc. (“Roadrunner” or the “company”) (NYSE: RRTS), a leading asset-right transportation and asset-light logistics service provider, today announced that at the close of business on April 4, 2019, it effected its previously-announced, 1-for-25 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The company’s common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on April 5, 2019. Pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, every 25 shares of Roadrunner’s issued and outstanding common stock were automatically converted into one share of common stock. No fractional shares will be issued if, as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, a stockholder would otherwise have been entitled to a fractional share. Instead, each stockholder is entitled to receive a cash payment based on a pre-split cash in lieu rate of $0.4235, which is the volume weighted average trading price per share on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding April 4, 2019. Following the Reverse Stock Split, the number of outstanding shares of Roadrunner’s common stock was reduced by a factor of 25 (from 939,038,286 to approximately 37,561,532). The number of authorized shares of common stock has also been reduced from 1,100,000,000 to 44,000,000. The company’s shares of common stock will continue to trade on the NYSE under the symbol “RRTS” but will trade under a new CUSIP number. The Reverse Stock Split was intended to increase the market price per share of Roadrunner’s common stock in order to comply with the NYSE’s continued listing standards relating to minimum price per share.
