2009 SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION AWARDS. The annual incentive
compensation awards are based upon performance goals approved by the
Compensation Committee. For the 2009 awards, performance goals are based on
operating income as adjusted for asset impairments, restructuring charges and
accounting changes.
The performance goals for the awards made to Messrs. Bianco and Labrie are
based on adjusted operating income at the Company's Menlo Logistics and Con-
way Freight business units, respectively. The awards to the executives
employed by Con-way Inc. (Ms. Pileggi and Messrs. Stotlar, Bruffett, and
Schick) are based on the performance goals applicable to the Company's three
primary business units (Con-way Freight, Menlo Logistics and Con-way
Truckload), with executives entitled to receive specified percentages of the
payout levels achieved at the business units. For each award the Compensation
Committee has set a minimum achievement level below which no payouts are
received, a target achievement level at which each executive will earn a
payout equal to the target amount set forth in the table below, and a maximum
achievement level at or above which each executive will earn a payout equal
to twice his or her target amount.

SPECIAL CASH BONUS
In 2008, a number of Mr. Schick's in-the-money stock options expired,
following a prolonged period during which Mr. Schick was precluded under the
Company's trading policy from exercising the options. On January 25, 2009,
the Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Schick a one-time special cash bonus
of $75,000, the purpose of which is to compensate Mr. Schick for amounts he
might have realized had he been permitted to exercise the options.

has served on the Board of Directors since 1990, will be retiring from the
