TransForce Completes Acquisition of Vitran

TORONTO, March 26, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TransForce Inc. ("TransForce") (TSX:TFI) (OTCQX:TFIFF), a North American leader in the transportation and logistics industry, and Vitran Corporation Inc. ("Vitran") (Nasdaq:VTNC) (TSX:VTN), a premier Canadian less-than-truckload ("LTL") transportation firm, are pleased to announce that the previously announced acquisition of Vitran by TransForce by way of plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") has been completed. Under the Arrangement, 2400520 Ontario Inc. (the "Purchaser"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of TransForce, acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Vitran, other than common shares of Vitran held by the Purchaser and any affiliate of the Purchaser, for consideration of US$6.50 in cash per share.

"The acquisition of Vitran will further enhance our density in the Canadian LTL market and provide synergies going forward. Vitran will remain a standalone entity, under the leadership of Tony Trichilo, within the TransForce group of companies. We are looking forward to leveraging the strengths of the two companies to the benefit of our customers and shareholders. I would like to welcome all Vitran employees and management to the TransForce team," said Alain Bédard, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of TransForce.

It is anticipated that the common shares of Vitran will be delisted from NASDAQ before the market opens on March 27, 2014, and will be delisted from the TSX at the close of business on or about March 28, 2014.

Further information about the Arrangement is set out in Vitran's management information circular dated February 3, 2014 which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.
