Estes Express Ups Bid for Yellow's Shipment Centers in Bidding War

Trucking firm Estes Express has submitted a revised stalking horse bid worth $1.525 billion in cash for bankrupt Yellow Corp's shipment centers, surpassing Old Dominion Freight Line Inc's previous bid. The new bid offers more money for the acquired assets and fewer fees in terms of bid protections. Yellow Corp halted operations in July and filed for bankruptcy last month, citing the International Brotherhood of Teamsters union as a contributing factor.

Estes Express Bids $1.3 Billion for Yellow's Shipment Centers

Trucking firm Estes Express has submitted a $1.3 billion bid to acquire bankrupt Yellow Corp's shipment centers. Yellow has decided to move forward with a $142.5 million loan provided by hedge fund Citadel and MFN Partners, instead of Estes' offer. The new loan allows Yellow to solicit higher bids for its real estate assets and sell its fleet of trucks. Estes' offer comes close to covering all of Yellow's pre-bankruptcy debt, including a $700 million loan owed to the U.S. Treasury Department. Yellow filed for bankruptcy due to a labor dispute with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters union.
