      adopted a formula based upon a multiple of the recipient&#8217;s annual salary divided

      Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Compensation Committee adopted the
      formula to (i) establish a target level for equity compensation to be granted
      to
      Messrs. Stephen Russell and Will; and (ii) provide an objective, more
      transparent method to determine equity compensation of Messrs. Stephen Russell
      and Will.&#160;&#160;In addition to the options granted to Mr. Will pursuant to
      the formula previously described, the Compensation Committee awarded an
      additional 25,000 options to Mr. Will based on his overall contribution to
      the
      Company in relation to his total compensation and the desire to increase his
      equity-based linkage to the Company.</font></div><br>

At
      its regularly scheduled
      meeting on October 26, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Board of
      Directors (the "Compensation Committee") of Celadon Group, Inc., a Delaware
      corporation, (the "Company"), met to determine the annual award of equity
      compensation for certain executive officers of the Company under the Company's
      2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan.  The Compensation Committee granted stock
      options as follows:

The
      stock options granted to each of
      the individuals named above will vest twenty-five percent (25%) on each of
      the
      first, second, third, and fourth anniversaries of the date of
      grant.  The stock options terminate after ten (10) years and have an
      exercise price of $8.67, the closing price of the Company's common stock as
      reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the grant date.
The
      Compensation Committee based the
      stock option grants to the executive officers upon (i) a desire to more closely
      align the executives' interests with those of the Company's stockholders; (ii) a
      desire to encourage long term retention of the Company's executives; (iii) the
      impact of equity compensation grants to the Company's consolidated financial
      statements; and (iv) the responsibilities and duties of each executive as
      related to the Company's performance. The Compensation Committee also considered
      the current holdings of the Company's common stock of each executive and the
      composition and value of the total compensation package of each executive in
      determining the stock option grants.
In
      determining the equity compensation
      awarded to each of Stephen Russell and Paul Will, the Compensation Committee
      adopted a formula based upon a multiple of the recipient's annual salary divided
      by the compensation value of the option determined in accordance with the
      Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Compensation Committee adopted the
      formula to (i) establish a target level for equity compensation to be granted
      to
      Messrs. Stephen Russell and Will; and (ii) provide an objective, more
      transparent method to determine equity compensation of Messrs. Stephen Russell
      and Will.  In addition to the options granted to Mr. Will pursuant to
      the formula previously described, the Compensation Committee awarded an
      additional 25,000 options to Mr. Will based on his overall contribution to
      the
      Company in relation to his total compensation and the desire to increase his
      equity-based linkage to the Company.
