Yellow Corp. Hits Hard as Delaware Court Rules on Pension Liabilities
Yellow Corp., a well-known less-than-truckload company, faced a major setback recently when a Delaware bankruptcy court ruled on $6.5 billion in withdrawal liabilities claims against the company. While the exact amount that Yellow Corp. will need to pay is still uncertain, the court’s decision sent shockwaves through the company and resulted in a dramatic 90% drop in its stock price.

MFN Partners, a major equity holder in Yellow Corp., has been closely involved with the company’s financial affairs, providing bankruptcy financing and mitigating its exposure through interest and fees. The U.S. Treasury also has a significant stake in Yellow Corp., further complicating the company’s financial situation.
One of the key issues at hand is Yellow Corp.’s obligations to multiemployer pension plans (MEPPs) following its abrupt shutdown. While the plans claim that Yellow Corp. is liable for unfunded vested benefits, the company asserts that the plans are now fully funded, thanks to a recent pension fund bailout package.
The recent ruling by Judge Craig Goldblatt shed some light on the complex legal issues surrounding Yellow Corp.’s pension liabilities. While the company may still be required to pay withdrawal liabilities to several MEPPs, the court limited the total exposure to a 20-year cap as mandated by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.
Despite the challenges facing Yellow Corp., the company remains optimistic about resolving its financial obligations and moving forward.
