October&nbsp;29, 2013, Vitran Corporation Inc. (the &#147;Company or &#147;Vitran&#148;) entered into a transaction incentive agreement with Fayaz Suleman, the Company&#146;s Vice-President Finance and Chief Financial Officer, effective as of
September&nbsp;30, 2013. Mr.&nbsp;Suleman is the Company&#146;s &#147;principal financial officer&#148;, and is therefore a &#147;named executive officer&#148; of the Company as defined in Item&nbsp;402 of
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Regulation&nbsp;S-K.</FONT> </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company concurrently entered into similar transaction incentive agreements with certain
other employees of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Vitran Express Canada Inc., also with effect as of September&nbsp;30, 2013. However, none of the other employees is a named executive officer of the Company. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company has entered into the transaction incentive agreements with each of Mr.&nbsp;Suleman and the other employees in order to provide them with an
incentive to work diligently in order to implement and carry out a potential divesture of the Company&#146;s Canadian less-than-truckload surface transportation services (&#147;LTL&#148;) business. Such divestiture (the &#147;Transaction&#148;)
could be effected by way of a takeover bid, plan of arrangement, sale of assets or shares of one or more subsidiaries of the Company, a merger, or other business combination, that results in the sale or disposition of the Canadian LTL business
directly or through the acquisition by a third party of the shares of the Company. The transaction incentive agreements are effective as of September&nbsp;30, 2013, being the date that the board of directors of the Company approved in principle the
arrangements, subject to the negotiation and entering into of formal agreements. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each of Mr.&nbsp;Suleman and the other employees is entitled to receive
a cash award if the Company completes the Transaction prior to December&nbsp;31, 2014 (the &#147;End Date&#148;), provided that if the Company is actively engaged in the Transaction on December&nbsp;31, 2014, the End Date will be the date on which
the Transaction is completed or terminated. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The amount of the cash award payable to Mr.&nbsp;Suleman and certain other employees is based on a percentage
of the value of the Transaction (the &#147;Transaction Value&#148;); the transaction incentive agreements for the balance of the employees provide for discretionary fixed cash awards of up to an aggregate of CDN$475,000. The Transaction Value is to
be calculated based on all consideration to be received in connection with the Transaction by the Company or holders of its securities, including the aggregate amount of debt assumed or repaid by the purchaser under the Transaction, less cash and
cash equivalents of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the completion date of the Transaction. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under this transaction incentive agreement with the
Company, Mr.&nbsp;Suleman is entitled to receive a cash award equal to 0.2% of the Transaction Value, payable within 5 business days after the completion date of the transaction. For example, if the Transaction Value is CDN$100 million, his cash
award will be CDN$200,000. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Generally, in order to be eligible to receive the award, Mr.&nbsp;Suleman must remain continuously employed by the Company or
a subsidiary of the Company through the completion date of the Transaction, unless his employment is terminated without cause, or he voluntarily resigns following a change of control in circumstances where he would be entitled to receive a lump sum
termination payment under his executive employment agreement. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The aggregate amount of the percentage-of-Transaction-Value-based cash awards payable to the employees would equal 0.8% of the Transaction Value. For example,

(e)
Material compensatory plan, contract or arrangement with principal executive officer
On
October 29, 2013, Vitran Corporation Inc. (the "Company or "Vitran") entered into a transaction incentive agreement with Fayaz Suleman, the Company's Vice-President Finance and Chief Financial Officer, effective as of
September 30, 2013. Mr. Suleman is the Company's "principal financial officer", and is therefore a "named executive officer" of the Company as defined in Item 402 of
Regulation S-K.
The Company concurrently entered into similar transaction incentive agreements with certain
other employees of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Vitran Express Canada Inc., also with effect as of September 30, 2013. However, none of the other employees is a named executive officer of the Company.
The Company has entered into the transaction incentive agreements with each of Mr. Suleman and the other employees in order to provide them with an
incentive to work diligently in order to implement and carry out a potential divesture of the Company's Canadian less-than-truckload surface transportation services ("LTL") business. Such divestiture (the "Transaction")
could be effected by way of a takeover bid, plan of arrangement, sale of assets or shares of one or more subsidiaries of the Company, a merger, or other business combination, that results in the sale or disposition of the Canadian LTL business
directly or through the acquisition by a third party of the shares of the Company. The transaction incentive agreements are effective as of September 30, 2013, being the date that the board of directors of the Company approved in principle the
arrangements, subject to the negotiation and entering into of formal agreements.
Each of Mr. Suleman and the other employees is entitled to receive
a cash award if the Company completes the Transaction prior to December 31, 2014 (the "End Date"), provided that if the Company is actively engaged in the Transaction on December 31, 2014, the End Date will be the date on which
the Transaction is completed or terminated.
The amount of the cash award payable to Mr. Suleman and certain other employees is based on a percentage
of the value of the Transaction (the "Transaction Value"); the transaction incentive agreements for the balance of the employees provide for discretionary fixed cash awards of up to an aggregate of CDN$475,000. The Transaction Value is to
be calculated based on all consideration to be received in connection with the Transaction by the Company or holders of its securities, including the aggregate amount of debt assumed or repaid by the purchaser under the Transaction, less cash and
cash equivalents of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the completion date of the Transaction.
Under this transaction incentive agreement with the
Company, Mr. Suleman is entitled to receive a cash award equal to 0.2% of the Transaction Value, payable within 5 business days after the completion date of the transaction. For example, if the Transaction Value is CDN$100 million, his cash
award will be CDN$200,000.
Generally, in order to be eligible to receive the award, Mr. Suleman must remain continuously employed by the Company or
a subsidiary of the Company through the completion date of the Transaction, unless his employment is terminated without cause, or he voluntarily resigns following a change of control in circumstances where he would be entitled to receive a lump sum
termination payment under his executive employment agreement.

Item 8.01
Other Events
As discussed above, on October 29, 2013, the Company entered into transaction
incentive agreements with certain employees of the Company and Vitran Express Canada who are not named executive officers of the Company, with effect as of September 30, 2013.
The aggregate amount of the percentage-of-Transaction-Value-based cash awards payable to the employees would equal 0.8% of the Transaction Value. For example,
if the Transaction Value is CDN$100 million, the aggregate cash awards payable to such employees will be approximately CDN$800,000.
As discussed above,
the transaction incentive agreements for the balance of the employees who are not named executive officers provide for discretionary fixed cash awards of up to an aggregate of CDN$475,000.
