Roadrunner Transportation Systems Announces COO Transition

Roadrunner Transportation Systems, Inc. ("Roadrunner" or the "company") (NYSE: RRTS), a leading asset-right transportation and asset-light logistics service provider, today announced that Michael L. Gettle, President and Chief Operating Officer, is leaving the company. He will continue to assist the company throughout the transition of his responsibilities over the next few months.

"On behalf of the Board of Directors and management team, we thank Mike for his many contributions to the company. Mike joined Roadrunner in 2016 and immediately had a positive impact on integrating our operations, establishing improved metrics and accountability and successfully guiding the company during some challenging times. Without Mike's commitment and leadership, we would not have successfully completed our recapitalization and restructuring activities. He was also instrumental in setting the course for our strategy to simplify our portfolio by focusing on our value-added logistics and asset-light LTL segments. We wish Mike all the best in his future endeavors," said Curt Stoelting, Chief Executive Officer of Roadrunner.
