Yellow Corp. and Roadway Corp. have scheduled special meetings of their stockholders on Dec. 9, both in connection with the Yellow acquisition of Roadway.

If successful, the Yellow Roadway transaction could close as early as Dec. 11.
The Yellow stockholder meeting begins at 9:30 a.m., CST at Yellow corporate headquarters, 10990 Roe Avenue, Overland Park, Kan.
The meeting will be held for the purpose of approving the issuance of additional shares of Yellow common stock to stockholders of Roadway in connection with the acquisition.
