USA Truck Files Shelf Registration

USA Truck, Inc. (NASDAQ: USAK) ("USA Truck"), a leading North American transportation and logistics provider, announced today the filing of a shelf registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The registration relates to USA Truck's obligations under the recently announced 2015 Cooperation Agreements with each of Baker Street Capital, LLC and Stone House Capital Management, LLC, and certain of their affiliates. Under the registration statement, Baker Street may offer up to 1,400,000 shares of our common stock and Stone House may offer up to 600,000 shares of our common stock. USA Truck has agreed it will not offer shares in any offering by Baker Street and Stone House. The shelf registration does allow, however, USA Truck to issue common stock in an aggregate amount up to $100 million at other times.

A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state. Any offering of the securities will be made solely by means of a prospectus and an accompanying prospectus supplement relating to that offering. A copy of the prospectus included in the registration statement may be obtained on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
