Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On July 30, 2018, James L. Welch retired from the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of YRC Worldwide Inc. (the “Company”). Mr. Welch, who acted as Chief Executive Officer of the Company from July 2011 through April 2018, previously announced his retirement from employment would occur on July 31, 2018. Mr. Welch’s decision to retire from the Board is only in connection with his retirement from employment and is not the result of any disagreement with management or the Board related to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

On July 30, 2018, the Board nominated and approved Darren D. Hawkins, Chief Executive Officer, to fill the resulting vacancy and to serve as a member of the Board for the remainder of Mr. Welch’s term, which term expires at the Company’s 2019 annual shareholders meeting. No arrangement or understanding exists between Mr. Hawkins and any other persons pursuant to which Mr. Hawkins was selected as a director. It is not anticipated that Mr. Hawkins will serve on any Board committees and there are no transactions between Mr. Hawkins and the Company that would be reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Mr. Hawkins will receive no additional compensation for serving on the Board as he is an officer of the Company.
