Ryan & Maniskas, LLP Announces Investigation of Swift Transportation Company

WAYNE, Pa., Jan. 29, 2016

Swift shareholders who purchased shares should contact Richard A. Maniskas, Esquire at 877-316-3218 or at rmaniskas@rmclasslaw.com to learn more about this investigation or visit: www.rmclasslaw.com/cases/swft.     

The investigation concerns whether Swift and certain of its officers have breached their fiduciary duties to the Company.

On January 28, 2016, post-market, The Wall Street Journal reported that Swift's CEO, Jerry Moyes, has pledged more than $600 million of his holdings in Swift--a quarter of the company's outstanding shares--as collateral for loans or loan-like contracts. As Moyes' use of his stock as margin-loan collateral exceeded limits set by Swift's board, the company's directors repeatedly granted Moyes extensions of time to meet those limits. On January 26, after spending $100 million on share repurchases in November 2015 and January 2016, Moyes announced that he wanted Swift to spend $200 million buying back more shares--a buyback that would retire approximately 9% of Swift's stock, supporting its price and easing pressure on Moyes's margin loans.
