On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was signed into law. The OBBBA makes permanent or introduces certain changes to the Internal Revenue Code, including 100% bonus depreciation, the deductibility of business interest expense, and expensing of domestic research costs. FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes” requires that the effect of changes in tax rates and laws be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. The Company is evaluating the impact of OBBBA but expects that the primary effect will be a shift between current and deferred taxes.

As previously announced in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on July 29, 2025, on July 28, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Union Pacific Corporation, a Utah corporation (Union Pacific), Ruby Merger Sub 1 Corporation, a Virginia corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Union Pacific (Merger Sub 1), and Ruby Merger Sub 2 LLC, a Virginia limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Union Pacific (Merger Sub 2).
The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Union Pacific will acquire the Company in a stock-and-cash transaction whereby (a) Merger Sub 1 will be merged with and into the Company (the “First Merger”), with the Company surviving the First Merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Union Pacific, and (b) immediately following the First Merger, the Company will be merged with and into Merger Sub 2 (the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub 2 surviving the Second Merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Union Pacific.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the First Merger, each share of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger, subject to certain exclusions set forth in the Merger Agreement, will be converted into the right to receive one share of common stock, par value $2.50 per share, of Union Pacific, and $88.82 in cash without interest.

The consummation of the Mergers is subject to certain conditions, including approval by the Surface Transportation Board, and termination rights. In addition, the Company and Union Pacific are required to pay the other a termination fee of $2.5 billion in cash upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, which will be further described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, to be filed with the SEC.
