Item 1.01                      Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 28, 2015, Quality Equipment Leasing, LLC and Quality Companies, LLC (together, "Quality"), wholly owned subsidiaries of Celadon Group, Inc. (the "Company"), entered into a Portfolio Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Portfolio Agreement"), a Fleet Program Agreement (the "Fleet Agreement"), a Service Agreement ("Service Agreement") and a Program Agreement (the "Program Agreement" and collectively with the Portfolio Agreement, Fleet Agreement, and Service Agreement, the "Transactions") with 19
th
Capital Group, LLC ("19
th
Capital").
Under the Portfolio Agreement, 19th Capital purchased a portfolio of Quality's independent contractor leases and associated assets for approximately $13.6 million. The portfolio includes leases for approximately 110 tractors and 130 trailers currently in service with independent contractors of the Company and other partner carriers. Under the Program Agreement, 19th Capital will finance the renewal and expansion of transportation assets operated by independent lessees under contract with the Company. Under related agreements, Quality will provide administrative and servicing support for 19th Capital's lease and financing portfolio, certain driver recruiting, lease payment remittance, maintenance, and insurance services.  Under the Fleet Agreement, 19th Capital will have the opportunity to provide leases and financing to the Company's partner carriers.
The Company believes the structure of 19th Capital will not require 19th Capital's consolidation within the Company's financial statements. The Company expects these transactions to afford an opportunity to grow the Quality Companies' business in markets where access is currently limited due to financing constraints, to participate in the economics of the lease stream and residual value of the tractors, and to improve the Company's return on invested capital compared with retaining the portfolio on balance sheet.
The Transactions resulted in finalization of the prior formation of 19
th
Capital, which was established with capital contributions from the Company (33.33%) and Tiger ELS, LLC ("Tiger") (67.67%), an entity controlled by Larsen MacColl Partners, an unaffiliated investment firm ("Larsen"), in return for Class A equity. Class B equity in 19
th
Capital is distributed among (i) Tiger (48.00%), (ii) 19
th
Capital employees (
4.00
%), (iii) the Company (25.00%), (iv) Quality employees (
9.00
%), and (v) Company employees (
14.00
%).  The Company and Tiger previously formed a limited liability company to prepare for the Transactions and entered into a Limited Liability Company Agreement of 19
th
Capital (the "LLC Agreement") on August 27, 2015, along with the following Class B members:  George Chasteen, Beau Zoeller, Danny Williams, Leslie Tarble, William E. Meek, Paul Will, Bobby Peavler, Lauren Howard, Nathan Roberts, Chad Hoffman, and Mike Gabbei.  Messrs. Will and Meek will serve as two of the managers of 19
th
Capital.  Certain relationships between the Company and Class B members, other than with respect to the LLC Agreement, are described below.

The affirmative vote of members holding a majority of percentage interests of each respective class is required for an act of the members.  Generally, any distributions are paid first to the Class A members up to an amount equal to their respective capital contributions, plus a Class A preferred return of 12% per annum of their respective capital contributions, then to the Class B members in accordance with their percentage interests.  Class A members have preemptive rights with respect to new issuances of equity.  The LLC Agreement also contains other customary provisions relating to governance and management, tax matters, indemnification, and restrictions on transfer of membership interests.  19
th
Capital did not conduct any material operations prior to the consummation of the Transactions.
The Transactions and the LLC Agreement were evaluated by a committee (the "Committee") of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") comprised solely of independent directors.  The Committee recognized that some management participation in the equity of 19
th
Capital was important to Larsen as well as the Company to ensure the interests of the Company, 19
th
Capital, and management of each were aligned.  The Committee also deemed it important for the Company to receive a preferred return on its Class A equity prior to management receiving any distributions in respect of their Class B equity.
In addition, the Board's Compensation Committee determined that due consideration would be given to any amounts received by Company management in respect of Class B equity of 19
th
Capital when determining such management's compensation.
The foregoing summary of the terms and conditions of the Portfolio Agreement, Program Agreement, Service Agreement, Fleet Agreement, and LLC Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of those agreements, which will be filed with the Company's Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2015.
