GLOBAL LOGISTICS ACQUISITION CORPORATION
330 Madison Avenue, 6th Floor
New York, New York 10017

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING IN LIEU OF ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON                      , 2007

TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF GLOBAL LOGISTICS ACQUISITION CORPORATION:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a special meeting in lieu of annual meeting of stockholders of Global Logistics Acquisition Corporation (‘‘GLAC’’), a Delaware corporation, will be held at 10:00 a.m. eastern time, on                  , 2007, at the offices of Graubard Miller, GLAC’s counsel, at The Chrysler Building, 405 Lexington Avenue, 19th Floor, New York, New York 10174. You are cordially invited to attend the meeting, which will be held for the following purposes:

(1)    to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 18, 2007, among GLAC, The Clark Group, Inc. (‘‘Clark’’) and the stockholders of Clark, which, among other things, provides for the acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of Clark for a total consideration of $75,000,000 (of which $72,527,472.53 will be paid in cash and $2,472,527.47 will be paid by the issuance of 320,276 shares of GLAC common stock valued at $7.72 per share), subject to adjustment based upon the amount of Clark’s working capital at the time of closing – we refer to this proposal as the acquisition proposal;

(2)    to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve an amendment to the certificate of incorporation of GLAC to change the name of GLAC from ‘‘Global Logistics Acquisition Corporation’’ to ‘‘Clark Holdings Inc.’’ – we refer to this proposal as the name change amendment;

(3)    to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve an amendment to the certificate of incorporation of GLAC to remove provisions that are no longer applicable to GLAC – we refer to this proposal as the charter amendment;

(4)    to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve an equity-based incentive compensation plan for directors, officers, employees, consultants and others – we refer to this proposal as the incentive compensation plan proposal;

(5)    to elect seven directors to GLAC’s board of directors, of whom two will serve until the annual meeting to be held in 2009, three will serve until the annual meeting to be held in 2010 and two will serve until the annual meeting to be held in 2011 and, in each case, until their successors are elected and qualified – we refer to this proposal as the director election proposal; and

(6)    to consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting, GLAC is not authorized to consummate the acquisition – we refer to this proposal as the adjournment proposal.

These items of business are described in the attached proxy statement, which we encourage you to read in its entirety before voting. Only holders of record of GLAC common stock at the close of business on                  , 2007 are entitled to notice of the special meeting and to vote and have their votes counted at the special meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the special meeting.

The acquisition proposal must be approved by the vote in favor of the proposal by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of GLAC common stock sold in its initial public offering (‘‘IPO’’),




including holders who purchased such shares subsequent to the IPO, that are voted at the special meeting. We refer to such shares as the ‘‘Public Shares.’’ The name change amendment and charter amendment proposals must each be approved by the holders of a majority of all outstanding shares of GLAC common stock. The incentive compensation plan proposal must be approved by the holders of a majority of all outstanding shares of GLAC common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting. Those directors who receive a plurality of votes cast for the respective positions will be elected. If the acquisition proposal is not approved, the other proposals, including the election of directors, will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote.

Each GLAC stockholder who holds Public Shares has the right to vote against the acquisition proposal and at the same time demand that GLAC convert such stockholder’s shares into cash equal to a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account into which a substantial portion of the net proceeds of GLAC’s IPO was deposited. See the section entitled ‘‘Special Meeting of GLAC Stockholders – Conversion Rights’’ for the procedures to be followed if you wish to convert your shares into cash. The conversion price will be the amount equal to the funds in the trust account, determined as of two business days prior to the consummation of the acquisition, divided by the number of Public Shares on such date. No fees or expenses of any nature will be deducted from or charged to the trust account. GLAC’s board of directors will review and confirm the calculation. On                  , 2007, the record date for the meeting of stockholders, the conversion price (calculated in such manner) would have been $         in cash for each Public Share. Public Shares owned by GLAC stockholders who validly exercise their conversion rights will be converted into cash only if the acquisition is consummated. If, however, the holders of 20% (2,200,000) or more of the Public Shares vote against the acquisition proposal and demand conversion of their shares, GLAC will not consummate the acquisition. Prior to exercising conversion rights, GLAC stockholders should verify the market price of GLAC’s common stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their common stock in the public market than from exercising their conversion rights. Shares of GLAC’s common stock are listed on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol GLA. On                  , 2007, the record date, the last sale price of GLAC common stock was $            .

GLAC’s initial stockholders, who purchased their shares of common stock prior to its IPO and presently own an aggregate of approximately 18.5% of the outstanding shares of GLAC common stock, have agreed to vote all of the shares they purchased prior to the IPO on the acquisition proposal in accordance with the vote of the majority of the votes cast by the holders of Public Shares. As a consequence, the voting of such shares will not have any effect on the outcome of the vote on the acquisition proposal. The initial stockholders have also indicated that they will vote such shares ‘‘FOR’’ the approval of the name change amendment, the charter amendment and the incentive compensation plan proposal and in favor of the director nominees and will vote any shares they acquired after the IPO for all of the proposals and the director nominees.

After careful consideration, GLAC’s board of directors has determined that the acquisition proposal and the other proposals are fair to and in the best interests of GLAC and its stockholders and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote ‘‘FOR’’ the approval of all of the proposals and the persons nominated by GLAC’s management for election as directors.

All GLAC stockholders are cordially invited to attend the special meeting in person. To ensure your representation at the special meeting, however, you are urged to complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible. If you are a stockholder of record of GLAC common stock, you may also cast your vote in person at the special meeting. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must instruct your broker or bank on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the meeting and vote in person, obtain a proxy from your broker or bank. If you do not vote or do not instruct your broker or bank how to vote, it will have the same effect as voting against the name change amendment and the charter amendment.

A complete list of GLAC stockholders of record entitled to vote at the special meeting will be available for 10 days before the special meeting at the principal executive offices of GLAC for inspection by stockholders during ordinary business hours for any purpose germane to the special meeting.




Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether you plan to attend the special meeting or not, please sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible in the envelope provided.

Thank you for your participation. We look forward to your continued support.

By Order of the Board of Directors
                                                                
Gregory E. Burns
President and
Chief Executive Officer

                    , 2007

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has determined if this proxy statement is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

SUMMARY OF THE MATERIAL TERMS OF THE ACQUISITION

  The parties to the acquisition are Global Logistics Acquisition Corporation, The Clark Group, Inc. and the stockholders of Clark. See the section entitled ‘‘The Acquisition Proposal.’’
  Clark is a leading provider of mission-critical supply chain solutions to the print media industry. Domestically, Clark is the largest independent provider of domestic newsstand magazine distribution services in North America, offering value-added distribution, transportation management and consulting services. Internationally, Clark is the largest consolidator of US magazines for export, and also offers other print media-related import/export services. In both domestic and international segments, Clark maintains no print media inventory and relies almost exclusively on third-party or leased assets for transportation (ground, air and ocean), thereby maximizing the variability of its expense structure, minimizing capital expenditures and providing financial returns that are comparable to publicly-traded non-asset based companies. See the section entitled ‘‘Business of Clark.’’
  Pursuant to the purchase agreement, GLAC will purchase all of the outstanding capital stock of Clark from Clark’s stockholders for a total consideration of $75,000,000 (of which $72,527,472.53 will be paid in cash and $2,472,527.47 will be paid by the issuance of 320,276 shares of GLAC common stock valued at $7.72 per share). The purchase price is subject to dollar-for-dollar increase or decrease to the extent that Clark’s working capital at the time of closing is greater (less negative) or less (more negative) than a working capital deficit of $1,588,462. The purchase price is also subject to decrease if the average of the working capital on the last day of the month for the twelve months ending March 31, 2008 is higher (less negative) than that amount. For such purposes, Clark’s working capital is defined as the sum of (A) current assets excluding cash plus (B) $616,438 representing 3-day check float minus (C) current liabilities minus (D) the aggregate amount of checks outstanding at the closing date that were issued in payment of accounts payable. The working capital will be determined in a manner consistent with that used by Clark prior to the date of execution of the purchase agreement.
  To provide a fund for payment to GLAC with respect to its post-closing rights to indemnification under the purchase agreement for breaches of representations and warranties and covenants by Clark and liabilities not assumed by GLAC, there will be placed in escrow (with an independent escrow agent) $7,500,000 of the purchase price payable to the Clark stockholders at closing (‘‘Indemnity Escrow Fund’’). Claims for indemnification may be asserted against the Indemnity Escrow Fund by GLAC once its damages exceed $375,000 and will be reimbursable to the extent damages exceed such amount, except that claims made with respect to certain representations and warranties will not be subject to such deductible. Indemnification claims may be made until 18 months after the closing date. One-third of the Indemnity Escrow Fund, less amounts paid in, and reserved for, settlement of indemnification claims, will be released to the Clark stockholders six months after the closing date and one-half of the remaining balance of the Indemnification Escrow Fund, less amounts paid in, and reserved for, settlement of indemnification claims, will be released twelve months after the closing date. However, notwithstanding such release from escrow, the stockholders shall continue to be responsible to pay GLAC, but not in excess of an amount equal to the funds so released, for established indemnification claims resulting from breaches of specified representations of Clark and made prior to the expiration of the sixtieth day after the respective statutes of limitations applicable to the subject matter of such representations. See the section entitled ‘‘The Acquisition Proposal – Indemnification of GLAC.’’
  Clark’s stockholders will also place $500,000 in escrow to provide a fund to pay GLAC the amount, if any, by which the average of the working capital on the last day of the month for the twelve months ending March 31, 2008 is higher (less negative) than negative $1,588,462. Any balance of such escrow not used to pay GLAC will be returned to Clark’s stockholders. Clark’s stockholders will also place a further $1,000,000 in escrow to provide a fund to reimburse Clark and GLAC for expenses incurred in connection with discontinuing certain of Clark’s present operations in the United Kingdom.

Table of Contents
  In addition to voting on the acquisition, the stockholders of GLAC will vote on proposals to change its name to Clark Holdings Inc., to amend its charter to delete certain provisions that will no longer be applicable after the acquisition, to approve the incentive compensation plan, to elect seven directors to GLAC’s board of directors and, if necessary, to approve an adjournment of the meeting. See the sections entitled ‘‘Name Change Amendment Proposal,’’ ‘‘Charter Amendment Proposal,’’ ‘‘Adjournment Proposal,’’ ‘‘Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal’’ and ‘‘Director Election Proposal.’’
  After the acquisition, if management’s nominees are elected, the directors of GLAC will be James J. Martell, Gregory E. Burns, Donald G. McInnes, Edward W. Cook, Maurice Levy,                                      and Timothy Teagan. Upon completion of the acquisition, certain officers of Clark will become officers of GLAC holding positions similar to the positions such officers held with Clark. These officers are Timothy Teagan, who will become Chief Executive Officer of GLAC, Stephen Spritzer, who will become Chief Financial Officer of GLAC, and John Barry, who will become Chief Operating Officer of Clark Worldwide Transportation. Messrs. Teagan and Barry have each entered into an employment agreement with Clark, effective upon the acquisition. See the section entitled ‘‘Director Election Proposal – Employment Agreements.’’
  If conversions into cash of our Public Shares exceed $13 million (        % of the Public Shares), we will be required to obtain additional financing in order to fund the excess, which could be as much as $         million (above the $13 million) if the permitted maximum number of Public Shares are converted. Such additional financing would be in the form of bank or other lender loans. GLAC has had preliminary conversations with potential lenders, and should the need to raise such funds arise for the purpose of funding conversions, GLAC believes that it will be able to obtain financing, although there can be no assurance that it will be the case, on commercially reasonable terms that will be at market for similar debt.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROPOSALS


Q. Why am I receiving this proxy statement? A. GLAC and Clark have agreed to a business combination under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of May 18, 2007, that is described in this proxy statement. This agreement is referred to as the purchase agreement. A copy of the purchase agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A, which we encourage you to read.
      You are being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the purchase agreement, which, among other things, provides for the acquisition by GLAC of all of Clark’s outstanding capital stock. You are also being requested to vote to approve (i) an amendment to GLAC’s certificate of incorporation to change the name of GLAC from ‘‘Global Logistics Acquisition Corporation’’ to ‘‘Clark Holdings Inc.,’’ (ii) an amendment to GLAC’s certificate of incorporation to make certain modifications to Article Sixth, Article Ninth and Article Tenth thereof, and (iii) the incentive compensation plan, but such approvals are not conditions to the acquisition. If the acquisition proposal is not approved by GLAC’s stockholders, the other proposals will not be presented to the stockholders for a vote. GLAC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as it will appear if all amendments to its certificate of incorporation are approved, is annexed as Annex B hereto. The incentive compensation plan is annexed as Annex C hereto. In addition to the foregoing proposals, the stockholders will also be asked to consider and vote upon the election of seven directors of GLAC, which proposal will not be presented for a vote if the acquisition proposal is not approved. The stockholders will also be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting, GLAC would not have been authorized to consummate the acquisition.
      GLAC will hold a special meeting of its stockholders to consider and vote upon these proposals. This proxy statement contains important information about the proposed acquisition and the other matters to be acted upon at the special meeting. You should read it carefully.

3





      Your vote is important. We encourage you to vote as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this proxy statement.
Q. Why is GLAC proposing the acquisition? A. GLAC was organized to effect an acquisition, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating business in the transportation and logistics sector and related industries.
      Clark is a privately-owned provider of mission-critical supply chain solutions to the print media industry. Based on its due diligence investigations of Clark and the business of supply chain solutions to the print media industry, including the financial and other information provided by Clark in the course of their negotiations, GLAC believes that Clark’s management has successful experience in the business of supply chain solutions to the print media industry and that Clark has in place the infrastructure for strong business operations and to achieve growth both organically and through accretive strategic acquisitions. As a result, GLAC also believes that a business combination with Clark will provide GLAC stockholders with an opportunity to participate in a company with significant growth potential. See the section entitled ‘‘The Acquisition Proposal – Factors Considered by GLAC’s Board of Directors.’
Q. Do I have conversion rights? A. If you are a holder of Public Shares, you have the right to vote against the acquisition proposal and demand that GLAC convert such shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account in which a substantial portion of the net proceeds of GLAC’s IPO are held. We sometimes refer to these rights to vote against the acquisition and demand conversion of the shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account as conversion rights.
Q. How do I exercise my conversion rights? A. If you wish to exercise your conversion rights, you must (i) vote against the acquisition proposal, (ii) demand that GLAC convert your shares into cash, (iii) continue to hold your shares through the closing of the acquisition and (iv) then deliver your certificate to our transfer agent within the period specified in a notice you will receive from GLAC, which period will be not less than 20 days. In lieu of delivering your stock certificate, you may deliver your shares to the transfer agent electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian) System.

4





      Any action that does not include an affirmative vote against the acquisition will prevent you from exercising your conversion rights. Your vote on any proposal other than the acquisition proposal will have no impact on your right to seek conversion.
      You may exercise your conversion rights either by checking the box on the proxy card or by submitting your request in writing to Kenneth L. Saunders, chief financial officer, treasurer and secretary of GLAC, at the address listed at the end of this section. If you (i) initially vote for the acquisition proposal but then wish to vote against it and exercise your conversion rights or (ii) initially vote against the acquisition proposal and wish to exercise your conversion rights but do not check the box on the proxy card providing for the exercise of your conversion rights or do not send a written request to GLAC to exercise your conversion rights, or (iii) initially vote against the acquisition but later wish to vote for it, you may request GLAC to send you another proxy card on which you may indicate your intended vote and, if that vote is against the acquisition proposal, exercise your conversion rights by checking the box provided for such purpose on the proxy card. You may make such request by contacting GLAC at the phone number or address listed at the end of this section.
      Any corrected or changed proxy card or written demand of conversion rights must be received by GLAC prior to the special meeting. No demand for conversion will be honored unless the holder’s stock certificate has been delivered (either physically or electronically) to the transfer agent after the meeting.
      If, notwithstanding your negative vote, the acquisition is completed, then, if you have also properly exercised your conversion rights, you will be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of the trust account, including any interest earned thereon net of taxes, calculated as of two business days prior to the date of the consummation of the acquisition. The underwriters have agreed to forego their deferred discounts and commissions with respect to shares so converted. As of the record date, there was approximately $             in trust, which would amount to approximately $             per share upon conversion. If you exercise your conversion rights, then you will be exchanging your shares of GLAC common stock for cash and will no longer own these shares.

5





      See the section entitled ‘‘Special Meeting of GLAC Stockholders – Conversion Rights’’ for the procedures to be followed if you wish to convert your shares into cash.
      Exercise of your conversion rights does not result in either the conversion or a loss of any GLAC warrants that you may hold. Your warrants will continue to be outstanding and exercisable following a conversion of your common stock unless we do not consummate the acquisition. A registration statement must be in effect to allow you to exercise any warrants you may hold or to allow GLAC to call the warrants for redemption if the redemption conditions are satisfied.
Q. Do I have appraisal rights if I object to the proposed acquisition? A. No. GLAC stockholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the acquisition under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (‘‘DGCL’’).
Q. What happens to the funds deposited in the trust account after consummation of the acquisition? A. After consummation of the acquisition, GLAC stockholders who properly exercise their conversion rights will receive their pro rata portion of the funds in the trust account promptly after the special meeting. The balance of the funds in the trust account will be released to GLAC and used by GLAC, together with funds that it will borrow, to pay the purchase price for the capital stock of Clark and the expenses it incurred in pursuing its business combination.
Q. What happens if the acquisition is not consummated? A. GLAC must liquidate if it does not consummate the acquisition by February 21, 2008. In any liquidation of GLAC, the funds deposited in the trust account, plus any interest earned thereon net of taxes, will be distributed pro rata to the holders of GLAC’s Public Shares. Holders of GLAC common stock issued prior to the IPO, including all of GLAC’s officers and directors, have waived any right to any liquidation distribution with respect to those shares.
Q. When do you expect the acquisition to be completed? A. It is currently anticipated that the acquisition will be consummated promptly following the GLAC special meeting on                     , 2007.
      For a description of the conditions for the completion of the acquisition, see the section entitled ‘‘The Purchase Agreement – Conditions to the Closing of the Acquisition.’’

Q. What do I need to do now? A. GLAC urges you to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement, including the annexes, and to consider how the acquisition will affect you as a stockholder of GLAC. You should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement and on the enclosed proxy card.
Q. How do I vote? A. If you are a holder of record of GLAC common stock, you may vote in person at the special meeting or by submitting a proxy for the special meeting. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope. If you hold your shares in ‘‘street name,’’ which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the meeting and vote in person, obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.
Q. If my shares are held in ‘‘street name,’’ will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me? A. No. Your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee.
Q. May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card? A. Yes. Send a later-dated, signed proxy card to GLAC’s secretary at the address set forth below prior to the date of the special meeting or attend the special meeting in person and vote. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to GLAC’s secretary, which must be received by GLAC’s secretary prior to the special meeting.
Q. What should I do with my stock certificates? A. GLAC stockholders who do not elect to have their shares converted into the pro rata share of the trust account should not submit their stock certificates now or after the acquisition, because their shares will not be converted or exchanged in the acquisition. GLAC stockholders who vote against the acquisition and exercise their conversion rights must deliver their certificates to GLAC’s transfer agent (either physically or electronically) after the meeting.

7





Q. What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials? A. You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your GLAC shares.
Q. Who can help answer my questions? A. If you have questions about the acquisition or if you need additional copies of the proxy statement or the enclosed proxy card you should contact:

Global Logistics Acquisition Corporation is a blank check company formed on September 1, 2005 to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating business in the transportation and logistics sector and related industries.

On February 21, 2006, GLAC closed its initial public offering of 10,000,000 units with each unit consisting of one share of its common stock and one warrant, each to purchase one share of its common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. On March 1, 2006, it consummated the closing of an additional 1,000,000 units which were subject to the over-allotment option. The units from the initial public offering (including the over-allotment option) were sold at an offering price of $8.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $88,000,000. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the offering expenses, the total net proceeds to GLAC from the offering (including the over-allotment option) were approximately $80,997,000, of which $79,340,000 was deposited into the trust account and the remaining proceeds of $1,657,000 became available to be used to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective business combinations and continuing general and administrative expenses. Through May 31, 2007, GLAC has used approximately $1,366,000 of the net proceeds that were not deposited into the trust fund to pay general and administrative expenses. The net proceeds deposited into the trust fund remain on deposit in the trust fund earning interest. As of May 31, 2007, there was approximately $87,600,000 held in the trust fund.

The funds deposited in the trust account, with the interest earned thereon net of taxes, will be released to GLAC upon consummation of the acquisition, and used to pay the cash portion of the purchase price to Clark and any amounts payable to GLAC stockholders who vote against the acquisition and exercise their conversion rights. Remaining proceeds will be used for working capital, including funding for organic growth and acquisitions.

If GLAC does not complete the acquisition by February 21, 2008, upon approval of its stockholders, it will dissolve and promptly distribute to its public stockholders the amount in its trust account plus any remaining non-trust account funds after payment of its liabilities

The GLAC common stock, warrants to purchase common stock and units (each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase common stock) are traded on the American Stock Exchange under the symbols GLA for the common stock, GLA.WS for the warrants and GLA.U for the units.

The mailing address of GLAC’s principal executive office is 330 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10017. After the consummation of the acquisition, it will be 121 New York Avenue, Trenton, New Jersey 08638.

The Acquisition

The purchase agreement provides for a business combination transaction by means of an acquisition by GLAC of substantially all of Clark’s outstanding capital stock. At the closing, $7,500,000 of the purchase price payable to Clark will be placed in escrow to provide a fund for the payment of claims under GLAC’s rights to indemnity set forth in the purchase agreement.

Pursuant to the purchase agreement, GLAC will pay Clark’s stockholders total consideration of $75,000,000 (of which $72,527,472.53 will be paid in cash and $2,472,527.47 will be paid by the issuance of 320,276 shares of GLAC common stock valued at $7.72 per share). The purchase price is subject to dollar-for-dollar increase or decrease to the extent that Clark’s working capital at the time of closing is greater (less negative) or less (more negative) than a working capital deficit of $1,588,462. The purchase price is also subject to decrease if the average of the working capital on the last day of the month for the twelve months ending March 31, 2008 is higher (less negative) than that amount. For such purposes, Clark’s working capital is defined a the sum of (A) current assets excluding cash plus (B) $616,438 representing 3-day check float minus (C) current liabilities minus (D) the aggregate amount of checks outstanding at the closing date that were issued in payment of accounts payable. The working capital will be determined in a manner consistent with that used by Clark prior to the date of execution of the purchase agreement.

GLAC and Clark plan to complete the acquisition promptly after the GLAC special meeting, provided that:

  GLAC’s stockholders have approved the acquisition proposal;
  holders of fewer than 20% of GLAC’s Public Shares have voted against the acquisition proposal and demanded conversion of their shares into cash; and
  the other conditions specified in the purchase agreement have been satisfied or waived.

Fairness Opinion

Pursuant to an engagement letter dated May 4, 2007, we engaged Capitalink, L.C. to render an opinion that our acquisition of the stock of Clark on the terms and conditions set forth in the purchase agreement is fair to our stockholders from a financial point of view and that the fair market value of Clark is at least equal to 80% of the balance in the trust account at the time of the acquisition. Capitalink is an investment banking firm that regularly is engaged in the evaluation of businesses and their securities in connection with acquisitions, corporate restructuring, private placements and for other purposes. Our board of directors determined to use the services of Capitalink because it is a recognized investment banking firm that has substantial experience in similar matters. The engagement letter provides that we will pay Capitalink a fee of $100,000 (which has been paid) and will reimburse Capitalink for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including attorneys’ fees. We have also agreed to indemnify Capitalink against certain liabilities that may arise out of the rendering of the opinion.

Capitalink delivered its written opinion to our board of directors on May 18, 2007, which stated that, as of such date, and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, matters considered and limitations on its review as set forth in the opinion, (i) the consideration then agreed to be paid by us in the acquisition was fair to our stockholders from a financial point of view, and (ii) the fair market value of Clark was at least equal to 80% of the balance in the trust account at the time of the acquisition.

The amount of the consideration to be paid by us to Clark’s stockholders was determined pursuant to negotiations between us and Clark and not pursuant to recommendations of Capitalink.

The full text of Capitalink’s written opinion, attached hereto as Annex E, is incorporated by reference into this proxy statement. You are encouraged to read the Capitalink opinion carefully and in its entirety for descriptions of the assumptions made, matters considered, procedures followed and limitations on the review undertaken by Capitalink in rendering them. However, it is Capitalink’s view that its duties in connection with its fairness opinion extend solely to GLAC’s board of directors and that it has no legal responsibilities in respect thereof to any other person or entity (including GLAC stockholders) under the law of the State of Florida, which is the governing law under the terms of the engagement letters between GLAC and Capitalink. The summary of the Capitalink opinion set forth in this proxy statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion. See the section entitled ‘‘The Acquisition Proposal – Fairness Opinion.’’

Indemnification of GLAC

To provide a fund for payment to GLAC with respect to its post-closing rights to indemnification under the purchase agreement for breaches of representations and warranties and covenants by Clark and liabilities not assumed by GLAC, there will be placed in escrow (with an independent escrow agent) $7,500,000 of the purchase price payable to the Clark stockholders at closing (‘‘Indemnity Escrow Fund’’). Claims for indemnification may be asserted against the Indemnity Escrow Fund by GLAC once its damages exceed $375,000 and will be reimbursable to the extent damages exceed such amount, except that claims made with respect to certain representations and warranties will not be subject to such deductible. Indemnification claims may be made until 18 months after the closing date. One-third of the Indemnity Escrow Fund, less amounts paid in, and reserved for, settlement of indemnification claims, will be released to the Clark stockholders six months after the closing date and one-half of the remaining balance of the Indemnification Escrow Fund, less amounts paid in, and reserved for, settlement of indemnification claims, will be released twelve months after the closing date. However, notwithstanding such release from escrow, the stockholders shall continue to be responsible to pay GLAC, but not in excess of an amount equal to the funds so released, for established indemnification claims resulting from breaches of specified representations of Clark and made prior to the expiration of the sixtieth day after the respective statutes of limitations applicable to the subject matter of such representations. A copy of the Escrow Agreement is attached hereto as Annex D. See the section entitled ‘‘The Acquisition Proposal – Indemnification of GLAC.’’

Other Escrow Arrangements

Clark’s stockholders will also place $500,000 in escrow to provide a fund to pay GLAC the amount, if any, by which the average of the working capital on the last day of the month for the twelve months ending March 31, 2008 is higher (less negative) than negative $1,588,462. Any balance of such escrow not used to pay GLAC will be returned to Clark’s stockholders. Clark’s stockholders will also place a further $1,000,000 in escrow to provide a fund to reimburse Clark and GLAC for expenses incurred in connection with discontinuing certain of Clark’s present operations in the United Kingdom.

The Certificate of Incorporation Amendments

The proposed amendments to GLAC’s certificate of incorporation would, upon consummation of the acquisition, change GLAC’s name and eliminate certain provisions that are applicable to GLAC only prior to its completion of a business combination. If the two proposals to amend GLAC’s certificate of incorporation are approved, GLAC will be named ‘‘Clark Holdings Inc.,’’ Article Sixth of its certificate of incorporation will address only its classified board of directors, with existing provisions that relate to it as a blank check company being deleted, Article Tenth will be removed entirely, as it relates only to GLAC as a blank check company, and Article Ninth will no longer refer to Article Sixth and Article Tenth.

Incentive Compensation Plan Proposal

The proposed Long-Term Incentive Equity Plan reserves 930,000 shares of GLAC common stock for issuance to executive officers (including executive officers who are also directors), employees,

11




Table of Contents

directors and consultants in accordance with the plan’s terms. The purpose of the plan is to provide GLAC’s directors, executive officers and other employees as well as persons who, by their position, ability and diligence are able to make important contributions to GLAC’s growth and profitability, with an incentive to assist GLAC in achieving its long-term corporate objectives, to attract and retain executive officers and other employees of outstanding competence and to provide such persons with an opportunity to acquire an equity interest in GLAC. The plan is attached as Annex C to this proxy statement. We encourage you to read the plan in its entirety.

The Director Election Proposal; Management of GLAC

At the special meeting, seven directors will be elected to GLAC’s board of directors, of whom two will serve until the annual meeting to be held in 2009, three will serve until the annual meeting to be held in 2010 and two will serve until the annual meeting to be held in 2011 and, in each case, until their successors are elected and qualified.

Upon consummation of the acquisition, if management’s nominees are elected, the directors of GLAC will be classified as follows:

  in the class to stand for reelection in 2009: James J. Martell (Chairman) and Gregory E. Burns;
  in the class to stand for reelection in 2010: Donald G. McInnes, Edward W. Cook and                                         ; and
  in the class to stand in 2011: Maurice Levy and Timothy Teagan.

Upon the consummation of the acquisition, the executive officers of GLAC, and the GLAC subsidiary, will be Timothy Teagan, Chief Executive Officer of GLAC, Stephen Spritzer, Chief Financial Officer of GLAC and John Barry, Chief Operating Officer of Clark Worldwide Transportation. Each of Messrs. Teagan, Spritzer and Barry is currently an executive officer of Clark.

If the acquisition is not approved by GLAC’s stockholders at the special meeting, the director election proposal will not be presented to the meeting for a vote and GLAC’s current directors will continue in office until GLAC is liquidated.

Adjournment Proposal

If, based on the tabulated vote, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to authorize GLAC to consummate the acquisition, GLAC’s board of directors may submit a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies. See the section entitled ‘‘The Adjournment Proposal.’’

GLAC Inside Stockholders

As of                  , 2007, James J. Martell, GLAC’s chairman of the board, Gregory E. Burns, GLAC’s chief executive officer, president and a director, Donald G. McInnes, Edward W. Cook and Maurice Levy, each a GLAC director, John Burns, Jr., a GLAC special advisor, Mitchel Friedman and Charles Royce, each a GLAC stockholder, and their affiliates, to whom we collectively refer as the GLAC Inside Stockholders, beneficially owned and were entitled to vote 2,500,000 shares (‘‘Original Shares’’) which were issued to the GLAC Inside Stockholders prior to GLAC’s IPO and constituted approximately 18.5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock immediately after the IPO. In connection with its IPO, GLAC and BB&T Capital Markets, a division of Scott & Stringfellow, Inc., the representative of the underwriters of the IPO, entered into agreements with each of the GLAC Inside Stockholders pursuant to which each GLAC Inside Stockholder agreed to vote his or its Original Shares on the acquisition proposal in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the holders of Public Shares. The GLAC Inside Stockholders have also indicated that they intend to vote their Original Shares in favor of all other proposals being presented at the meeting. The Original

12




Table of Contents

Shares have no liquidation rights and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by GLAC. In connection with the IPO, the GLAC Inside Stockholders entered into lock-up agreements with BB&T Capital Markets restricting the sale of their Original Shares until the earlier of six months after a business combination or GLAC’s liquidation.

Inside Stockholder Escrow

Prior to the closing of the acquisition, the GLAC Inside Stockholders, other than Mitchel Friedman, will place an aggregate of 1,173,438 of their Original Shares into escrow. Of the 1,173,438 shares to be placed in trust: Mr. Martell will place 400,000, Mr. Gregory E. Burns 381,250, Messrs. McInnes and Cook 31,250 each, Mr. Levy 25,000, Mr. Royce 281,250 and Mr. John Burns 23,438. The amounts represent 75% of the Original Shares currently owned by Messrs. Royce and John Burns, and 50% for Messrs. Martell, Gregory E. Burns, McInnes, Cook and Levy.

The Original Shares will only be released from escrow if, and only if, prior to the fifth anniversary of the closing, the last sales price of our common stock equal or exceeds $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 day trading day period. Upon satisfaction of this condition, the original shareholders may send a notice to the trustee that the conditions have been met. Upon verification by the independent trustee, shares shall be released to the holders. If such condition is not met, the shares placed in escrow will be cancelled.

The terms of the escrow agreement will restrict the holders from selling or otherwise transferring the escrowed shares during the period the escrow arrangement is in effect, subject to certain limited exceptions such as transfers to family members and trusts for estate planning purposes, the death of the holder and transfers to an estate or beneficiaries, provided that the recipients agree to remain subject to the arrangement. As a result of the condition to which the escrowed shares will be subject, such shares will be considered as contingent shares and, as a result, are not included in the income (loss) per share calculations that are provided in this proxy statement. Accordingly, GLAC will be required to recognize a charge based on the fair value of the shares over the expected period of time it will take to achieve the target price. Based on our current share price of $7.88 and an estimated 5 year performance horizon, such non-cash charge would be approximately $1,849,000 per year.

Date, Time and Place of Special Meeting of GLAC’s Stockholders

The special meeting in lieu of annual meeting of the stockholders of GLAC will be held at     :         .m., eastern time, on                  , 2007, at the offices of Graubard Miller, GLAC’s counsel, at The Chrysler Building, 405 Lexington Avenue, 19th Floor, New York, New York 10174 to consider and vote upon the acquisition proposal, the name change amendment, the charter amendment, the incentive compensation plan proposal and the director election proposal. A proposal to adjourn the meeting to a later date or dates may be presented, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting, GLAC is not authorized to consummate the acquisition. See the section entitled ‘‘The Adjournment Proposal.’’

Voting Power; Record Date

You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the special meeting if you owned shares of GLAC common stock at the close of business on                  , 2007, which is the record date for the special meeting. You will have one vote for each share of GLAC common stock you owned at the close of business on the record date. GLAC warrants do not have voting rights. On the record date, there were 13,500,000 shares of GLAC common stock outstanding, of which 11,000,000 were Public Shares and 2,500,000 were shares held by insiders acquired prior to the IPO.

Quorum and Vote of GLAC Stockholders

A quorum of GLAC stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the GLAC special meeting if a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the meeting are represented in person or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum.

13




Table of Contents
  Pursuant to GLAC’s charter, the approval of the acquisition proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Public Shares cast on the proposal at the meeting. There are currently 13,500,000 shares of GLAC common stock outstanding, of which 11,500,000 are Public Shares. The acquisition will not be consummated if the holders of 20% or more of the Public Shares (2,200,000 shares or more) exercise their conversion rights.
  The approval of the name change amendment will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of GLAC common stock on the record date.
  The approval of the charter amendment will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of GLAC common stock on the record date.
  The approval of the incentive compensation plan will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of GLAC common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the meeting.
  The election of directors requires a plurality vote of the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the special meeting. ‘‘Plurality’’ means that the individuals who receive the largest number of votes cast ‘‘FOR’’ are elected as directors. Consequently, any shares not voted ‘‘FOR’’ a particular nominee (whether as a result of abstentions, a direction to withhold authority or a broker non-vote) will not be counted in the nominee’s favor.
  The approval of an adjournment proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of GLAC common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the meeting.

Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote ‘‘AGAINST’’ the proposals to amend the certificate of incorporation and to adopt the incentive compensation plan and the adjournment proposal, if the latter is presented, but will have no effect on the acquisition proposal. Broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will have the effect of votes against the proposals to amend the certificate of incorporation, but will have no effect on the acquisition proposal, the incentive compensation plan proposal or an adjournment proposal. Please note that you cannot seek conversion of your shares unless you affirmatively vote against the acquisition proposal.

The acquisition is not conditioned upon approval of the name change amendment, the charter amendment, the incentive compensation plan proposal or the director election proposal. However, those proposals will not be presented for a vote at the special meeting if the acquisition proposal is not approved.

Conversion Rights

Pursuant to GLAC’s certificate of incorporation, a holder of Public Shares may, if the stockholder affirmatively votes against the acquisition, demand that GLAC convert such shares into cash. See the section entitled ‘‘Special Meeting of GLAC Stockholders – Conversion Rights’’ for the procedures to be followed if you wish to convert your shares into cash. If properly demanded, GLAC will convert each Public Share into a pro rata portion of the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the acquisition. As of the record date, this would amount to approximately $         per share. If you exercise your conversion rights, then you will be exchanging your shares of GLAC common stock for cash and will no longer own the shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you affirmatively vote against the acquisition, properly demand conversion and, after the meeting, tender your stock certificate (either physically or electronically) to our transfer agent within the time period specified in a notice you will receive from GLAC, which period will be not less than 20 days from the date of such notice. If the acquisition is not completed, these shares will not be converted into cash. However, if GLAC is unable to complete the acquisition by February 21, 2008, it will be forced to liquidate and all holders of shares issued in the IPO will

14




Table of Contents

receive at least the amount they would have received if they sought conversion of their shares and GLAC did consummate the acquisition, as both the per share liquidation price and the per share conversion price are equal to the amount of funds in the trust account divided by the number of Public Shares but there will be greater earned interest net of taxes in the account at the time of a liquidation distribution because it would occur at a later date than a conversion.

The acquisition will not be consummated if the holders of 20% or more of the Public Shares (2,200,000 shares or more) exercise their conversion rights.

Appraisal Rights

GLAC stockholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the acquisition under the DGCL.

Proxies

Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone or in person. GLAC has engaged                              to assist in the solicitation of proxies.

If you grant a proxy, you may still vote your shares in person if you revoke your proxy before the special meeting. You may also change your vote by submitting a later-dated proxy.

Interests of GLAC’s Directors and Officers in the Acquisition

When you consider the recommendation of GLAC’s board of directors in favor of approval of the acquisition proposal, you should keep in mind that GLAC’s executive officers and members of GLAC’s board have interests in the acquisition transaction that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. These interests include, among other things:

  If the acquisition is not approved, GLAC will be required to liquidate. In such event, the 2,500,000 shares of common stock held by the GLAC Inside Stockholders, including GLAC’s officers and directors and their affiliates and other persons, that were acquired prior to the IPO for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000 will be worthless because the GLAC Inside Stockholders are not entitled to receive any liquidation proceeds with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of $                 based on the last sale price of $                 on the American Stock Exchange on                  , 2007, the record date.
  In addition, in connection with the closing of the IPO, the GLAC Inside Stockholders were issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,272,727 shares of GLAC common stock for an aggregate consideration of approximately $2,500,000 ($1.10 per warrant). These warrants had an aggregate market value of $                 based upon the last sale price of $                 on the American Stock Exchange on                  , 2007, the record date. All of the warrants will become worthless if the acquisition is not consummated.
  If we are unable to complete a business combination and are forced to liquidate, James Martell, our Chairman, and Gregory Burns, our President and Chief Executive Officer and a director, will be personally liable under certain circumstances (for example, if a vendor does not waive any rights or claims to the trust account) to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of certain prospective target businesses and vendors or other entities that are owed money by us for services rendered or products sold to us. However, we cannot assure you that Messrs. Martell and Burns will be able to satisfy those obligations.

Recommendation to Stockholders

GLAC’s board of directors believes that the acquisition proposal and the other proposals to be presented at the special meeting are fair to and in the best interest of GLAC’s stockholders and unanimously recommends that its stockholders vote ‘‘FOR’’ each of the proposals.

Clark’s Conditions to Closing

The obligations of Clark to consummate the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement also are conditioned upon, among other things, there being no material adverse change in the business of GLAC since the date of the purchase agreement.

GLAC’s Conditions to Closing

The obligations of GLAC to consummate the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement also are conditioned upon each of the following, among other things:

(i)  At the closing, there shall have been no material adverse change in the business of Clark, its subsidiaries or their businesses since the date of the purchase agreement;
(ii)  The Clark stockholders having repaid to Clark all direct and indirect indebtedness and obligations owed by them; and
(ii)  Messrs. Teagan and Barry being ready, willing and able to perform under their respective employment agreements.

Termination, Amendment and Waiver

The purchase agreement may be terminated at any time, but not later than the closing, as follows:

  By mutual written consent of GLAC and the Clark stockholders (acting through their representative);
  By either GLAC or the representative of the Clark stockholders if the acquisition is not consummated on or before September 30, 2007, provided that such termination is not available to a party whose action or failure to act has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the acquisition to be consummated before such date and such action or failure to act is a breach of the purchase agreement;
  By either GLAC or the representative of the Clark stockholders if a governmental entity shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action, in any case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the acquisition, which order, decree, judgment, ruling or other action is final and nonappealable;

16




Table of Contents
  By either GLAC or the representative of the Clark stockholders if the other party has breached any of its covenants or representations and warranties in any material respect and has not cured its breach within thirty days of the notice of an intent to terminate, provided that the terminating party is itself not in breach; and
  By either GLAC or Clark if, at the GLAC stockholder meeting, the purchase agreement shall fail to be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Public Shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the special meeting or the holders of 20% or more of the Public Shares exercise conversion rights.
  By the representative of the Clark stockholders if GLAC’s board of directors fails to include a recommendation to GLAC’s stockholders in the proxy statement to approve the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or withdraws or modifies (in a manner adverse to Clark or its stockholders) such recommendation

The purchase agreement does not specifically address the rights of a party in the event of a material breach by a party of its covenants or warranties or a refusal or wrongful failure of the other party to consummate the acquisition. However, the non-wrongful party would be entitled to assert its legal rights for breach of contract against the wrongful party.

If permitted under the applicable law, either Clark or GLAC may waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained in the purchase agreement and waive compliance with any agreements or conditions for the benefit of itself or such party contained in the purchase agreement. The condition requiring that the holders of fewer than 20% of the Public Shares affirmatively vote against the acquisition proposal and demand conversion of their shares into cash may not be waived. We cannot assure you that any or all of the conditions will be satisfied or waived.

Tax Consequences of the Acquisition

GLAC has received an opinion from its counsel, Graubard Miller, that, for federal income tax purposes:

  A stockholder of GLAC who exercises conversion rights and effects a termination of the stockholder’s interest in GLAC will generally be required to recognize capital gain or loss upon the exchange of that stockholder’s shares of common stock of GLAC for cash, if such shares were held as a capital asset on the date of the acquisition. Such gain or loss will be measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and the tax basis of that stockholder’s shares of GLAC common stock; and
  No gain or loss will be recognized by non-converting stockholders of GLAC.

The tax opinion is attached to this proxy statement as Annex F. Graubard Miller has consented to the use of its opinion in this proxy statement. For a description of the material federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, please see the information set forth in ‘‘The Acquisition Proposal – Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Acquisition.’’

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Under this method of accounting, Clark will be treated as the acquired company and GLAC will be the acquirer. As a result, the identifiable assets and liabilities of Clark will be adjusted to their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. Any excess of the purchase price over the net fair value of assets acquired will be allocated to goodwill. The assets of GLAC will continue to be reported at historical cost. Results of operations of Clark will be included with GLAC from the date of acquisition forward.

Regulatory Matters

The acquisition and the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement are not subject to any additional federal or state regulatory requirement or approval, including the Hart-Scott-Rodino

17




Table of Contents

Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, or HSR Act, except for filings with the State of Delaware necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement.

Risk Factors

In evaluating the acquisition proposal, the name change amendment, the charter amendment, the incentive compensation plan proposal, the director election proposal and the adjournment proposal, you should carefully read this proxy statement and especially consider the factors discussed in the section entitled ‘‘Risk Factors.’’

SELECTED UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following selected unaudited pro forma financial information has been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet combines the historical unaudited balance sheets of GLAC as of March 31, 2007, and the unaudited balance sheets of Clark as of March 31, 2007, giving effect to the transactions described in the Purchase Agreement with purchase accounting applied to the acquired Clark assets as if they had occurred on the last day of the period.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income combines (i) the historical audited statement of operations of GLAC for the year ended December 31, 2006 and historical audited statement of operations of Clark for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2006 and (ii) the historical unaudited statement of operations of GLAC for the three months ended March 31, 2007, and the unaudited statement of operations of Clark for the 13 weeks ended March 31, 2007, giving effect to the transactions described in the Purchase Agreement with purchase accounting applied to the acquired Clark assets as if they had occurred on January 1, 2006 with respect to GLAC and December 31, 2006 with respect to Clark (Clark’s fiscal year consists of a 52/53 week period ending on the Saturday closest to December 31st. Their quarters consist of 13 week periods).

The historical financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are directly attributable to the transaction, are factually supportable and, in the case of the pro forma income statements, have a recurring impact.

The purchase price allocation has not been finalized and is subject to change based upon recording of actual transaction costs, finalization of working capital adjustments, and completion of appraisals of the principal Clark assets.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2007 and unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006 have been prepared using two different levels of approval of the transaction by the GLAC stockholders, as follows:

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this proxy statement, before you decide whether to vote or instruct your vote to be cast to approve the acquisition proposal.

Risks Related to our Business and Operations Following the Acquisition of Clark

The value of your investment in GLAC following consummation of the acquisition will be subject to the significant risks inherent in the business of supply chain solutions to the print media industry. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and other information included in this proxy statement. If any of the events described below occur, GLAC post-acquisition business and financial results could be adversely affected in a material way. This could cause the trading price of its common stock to decline, perhaps significantly, and you therefore may lose all or part of your investment.

We will be subject to pertinent regulations and laws and regulations that could cause us to incur significant compliance expenditures and liabilities.

Our operations will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations pertaining to significant areas of regulation. As a result, we may be involved from time to time in administrative and judicial proceedings and investigations primarily related to safety issues, which are regulated by the Department of Transportation (‘‘DOT’’), the Transportation Safety Administration (‘‘TSA’’) and the Occupational, Safety and Health Administration (‘‘OSHA’’). These proceedings and investigations could result in substantial costs to us and/or divert our management’s attention. Furthermore, if it is determined we are not in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, it could result in significant liabilities, fines or the suspension or interruption of the affected operations. Future events, such as changes in existing laws and regulations, new laws or regulations or the discovery of conditions not currently known to us, may give rise to additional compliance or remedial costs that could be material.

We will depend on key personnel and we may not be able to operate and grow our business effectively if we lose the services of any of our key personnel or are unable to attract qualified personnel in the future.

We will be dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel and our ability to retain them and hire other qualified employees. In particular, we will dependent upon the management and leadership of Timothy Teagan, who will be our chief executive officer, Stephen Spritzer, who will be our chief financial officer, and John Barry, who will be chief operating officer of Clark Worldwide Transportation. The loss of any of them or other key personnel could affect our ability to run our business effectively.

Competition for senior management personnel is intense and we may not be able to retain our personnel even though we have entered into employment agreements with certain of them. The loss of any key personnel requires the remaining key personnel to divert immediate and substantial attention to seeking a replacement. An inability to find a suitable replacement for any departing executive officer on a timely basis could adversely affect our ability to operate and grow our business.

Management and execution of key operations related to supply chain solutions will also require skilled and experienced employees. A shortage of such employees, or our inability to retain such employees, could have an adverse impact on our productivity and costs, our ability to expand, develop and distribute new products and our entry into new markets. The cost of retaining or hiring such employees could exceed our expectations.

Demand for our services may decrease during an economic recession.

The transportation industry historically has experienced cyclical fluctuations in financial results due to economic recession, downturns in business cycles of our customers, fuel shortages, price increases by carriers, interest rate fluctuations, and other economic factors beyond our control.

23




Table of Contents

Carriers can be expected to charge higher prices to cover higher operating expenses, and our gross profits and income from operations may decrease if we are unable to pass through to our customers the full amount of higher transportation costs. If economic recession or a downturn in our customers’ business cycles causes a reduction in the volume of freight shipped by those customers, particularly to the single copy distribution channel, our operating results could also be adversely affected.

We depend upon others to provide equipment and services.

We do not own or control the vast majority of transportation assets that deliver our customers freight and we do not employ the people directly involved in delivering the freight. We do control a limited number of trucks for dedicated customer and company service, but for the majority of our transportation needs we do not employ the people directly involved in delivering the freight. We are dependent on independent third parties to provide most truck and all rail, ocean and air services and to report certain events to us including delivery information and freight claims. This reliance could cause delays in reporting certain events, including recognizing revenue and claims. If we are unable to secure sufficient equipment or other transportation services to meet our commitments to our customers, our operating results could be materially and adversely affected, and our customers could switch to our competitors temporarily or permanently. Many of these risks are beyond our control including:

  equipment shortages in the transportation industry, particularly among truckload carriers,
  interruptions in service or stoppages in transportation as a result of labor disputes,
  changes in regulations impacting transportation, and
  unanticipated changes in transportation rates.

Our non asset−based transportation management, North American and international freight forwarding  and trucking businesses are subject to a number of factors that are largely beyond our control, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

These businesses could be materially adversely affected by numerous risks beyond our control including:

  potential liability to third parties and clients as a result of accidents involving our employees, independent contractors or third party carriers,
  increased insurance premiums, the unavailability of adequate insurance coverage, or the solvency of our current insurance providers,
  recruitment and retention of agents and affiliates,
  adverse weather and natural disasters,
  interruptions in services or stoppages in transportation as a result of labor disputes,
  changes in fuel taxes,
  the ability to effectively pass through fuel cost increases to our clients through commonly accepted fuel surcharges,
  the extremely competitive and fragmented nature of the trucking and domestic ground transportation industry,
  changes in governmental regulations or legislation impacting the transportation or trucking industry and unanticipated changes in transportation rates,
  potentially adverse effects from federal standards for new engine emissions, and
  a carrier’s failure to deliver freight pursuant to client requirements.

If any of these risks or others occur, then our business and results of operations would be adversely impacted.

24




Table of Contents

In addition, the trucking industry periodically experiences difficulty in attracting and retaining qualified drivers, including independent contractors, and the shortage of qualified drivers and independent contractors has proven to be severe in the past few years. If we are unable to continue attracting an adequate number of drivers or contract with enough independent contractors, we could be required to significantly increase our driver compensation package or let trucks sit idle, which could adversely affect our growth and profitability.

We face intense competition in the freight forwarding, contract logistics, domestic ground transportation and supply chain management industry.

The freight forwarding, contract logistics, domestic ground transportation and supply chain management industry is intensely competitive and we expect it to remain so for the foreseeable future. We face competition from a number of companies, including many that have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources. There are a large number of companies competing in one or more segments of the industry. We also encounter competition from regional and local third−party logistics providers, freight forwarders and integrated transportation companies. Depending on the location of the client and the scope of services requested, we might compete against truck brokerage niche players, printers, trucking companies, and larger competitors. In addition, in some instances clients increasingly are turning to competitive bidding situations involving bids from a number of competitors, including competitors that are larger than us. We also face competition from air and ocean carriers, computer information and consulting firms and contract manufacturers, many of which are beginning to expand the scope of their operations to include supply chain related services. Increased competition could result in reduced revenues, reduced margins or loss of market share, any of which could damage our results of operations and the long-term or short-term prospects of our business.

Our industry is consolidating and if we cannot gain sufficient market presence in our industry, we may not be able to compete successfully against larger, global companies in our industry.

There currently is a marked trend within our industry toward consolidation of niche players into larger companies which are attempting to increase their global operations through the acquisition of freight forwarders and contract logistics providers. If we cannot maintain sufficient market presence in our industry through internal expansion and additional acquisitions, we may not be able to compete successfully against larger, global companies in our industry.

We are reliant on technology to operate our business.

We have internally developed the majority of our operating systems. Our continued success is dependent on our systems continuing to operate and to meet the changing needs of our customers. We are reliant on our technology staff to successfully implement changes to our operating systems in an efficient manner. Computer viruses could cause an interruption to the availability of our systems. Unauthorized access to our systems with malicious intent could result in the theft of proprietary information and in systems outages. An unplanned systems outage or unauthorized access to our systems could materially and adversely affect our business.

If we fail to develop and integrate information technology systems or we fail to upgrade or replace our information technology systems to handle increased volumes and levels of complexity, meet the demands of our clients and protect against disruptions of our operations, we may lose inventory items, orders or clients, which could seriously harm our business.

Increasingly, we compete for clients based upon the flexibility, sophistication and security of the information technology systems supporting our services. The failure of the hardware or software that supports our information technology systems, the loss of data contained in the systems, or the inability to access or interact with our web site or connect electronically, could significantly disrupt our operations, prevent clients from placing orders, or cause us to lose inventory items, orders or clients. If our information technology systems are unable to handle additional volume for our operations as

25




Table of Contents

our business and scope of services grow, our service levels, operating efficiency and future transaction volumes will decline. In addition, we expect clients to continue to demand more sophisticated, fully integrated information technology systems from their supply chain services providers. If we fail to hire qualified persons to implement, maintain and protect our information technology systems or we fail to upgrade or replace our information technology systems to handle increased volumes and levels of complexity, meet the demands of our clients and protect against disruptions of our operations, we may lose inventory items, orders or clients, which could seriously harm our business.

Our information technology systems are subject to risks which we cannot control.

Our information technology systems are dependent upon global communications providers, web browsers, telephone systems and other aspects of the Internet infrastructure which have experienced significant system failures and electrical outages in the past. Our systems are susceptible to outages due to fire, floods, power loss, telecommunications failures, break−ins and similar events. Despite our implementation of network security measures, our servers are vulnerable to computer viruses, break−ins and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering with our computer systems. The occurrence of any of these events could disrupt or damage our information technology systems and inhibit our internal operations, our ability to provide services to our clients and the ability of our clients to access our information technology systems.

Our business could be adversely affected by heightened security measures, actual or threatened terrorist attacks, efforts to combat terrorism, military action against a foreign state or other similar event.

We cannot predict the effects on our business of heightened security measures, actual or threatened terrorist attacks, efforts to combat terrorism, military action against a foreign state or other similar events. It is possible that one or more of these events could be directed at U.S. or foreign ports, borders, railroads or highways. Heightened security measures or other events are likely to slow the movement of freight through U.S. or foreign ports, across borders or on U.S. or foreign railroads or highways and could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Any of these events could also negatively affect the economy and consumer confidence, which could cause a downturn in the transportation industry.

We will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company.

As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and the Nasdaq National Market, have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. We expect these new rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, in anticipation of becoming a public company, we have created additional board committees and adopted policies regarding internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. In addition, we will incur additional costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. We also expect these new rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these new rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

Additional Risks Associated With Printing/Publishing Industry

Weakening economic conditions or other factors could reduce our customers’ revenues or hinder our ability to increase revenues.

Many of our customers’ business models are dependent on expenditures by advertisers. These expenditures tend to be cyclical, reflecting general economic conditions, as well as budgeting and

26




Table of Contents

buying patterns. A decline or delay in advertising expenditures could reduce the Company’s revenues or hinder its ability to increase these revenues.

Disasters, acts of terrorism, political uncertainty or hostilities also could lead to a reduction in advertising expenditures as a result of uninterrupted news coverage and economic uncertainty.

Advertising expenditures by companies in certain sectors of the economy, including the automotive, financial and pharmaceutical industries, represent a significant portion of our customers’ advertising revenues. Any political, economic, social or technological change resulting in a significant reduction in the advertising spending of these sectors could adversely affect the customers advertising revenues and our ability to increase revenues.

Our customers face significant competition for advertising and circulation.

Our customers face significant competition from several direct competitors and other media, including the Internet. Our customers’ magazine operations compete for circulation and audience with numerous other magazine publishers and other media.

Our customers could face increased costs and business disruption resulting from instability in the newsstand distribution channel.

Our customers operate a national distribution business that relies on wholesalers to distribute magazines published by customer publishers and other publishers to newsstands and other retail outlets. Due to industry consolidation, four wholesalers represent more than 80% of the wholesale magazine distribution business. There is a possibility of further consolidation among these wholesalers and/or insolvency of one or more of these wholesalers. Should there be a disruption in this wholesale channel it could adversely affect our customers’ ability to distribute magazines to the retail marketplace.

Risks Related to the Acquisition

Our working capital will be reduced if GLAC stockholders exercise their right to convert their shares into cash.

Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, holders of Public Shares may vote against the acquisition proposal and demand that we convert their shares, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the acquisition, into a pro rata share of the trust account where a substantial portion of the net proceeds of the IPO are held. We and Clark will not consummate the acquisition if holders of 2,200,000 or more Public Shares exercise these conversion rights. To the extent the acquisition is consummated and holders have demanded to so convert their shares, there will be a corresponding reduction in the amount of funds available to us.

Our outstanding warrants may be exercised in the future, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders.

Outstanding redeemable warrants to purchase an aggregate of 11,000,000 shares of common stock issued in the IPO and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,272,727 shares of common stock issued to the initial stockholders in a private placement concurrent with the IPO will become exercisable after the consummation of the acquisition. These will be exercised only if the $6.00 per share exercise price is below the market price of our common stock. To the extent such warrants or options are exercised, additional shares of our common stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to our stockholders and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of such shares.

27




Table of Contents

If GLAC stockholders fail to vote or abstain from voting on the acquisition proposal, or fail to deliver their shares to our transfer agent, they may not exercise their conversion rights to convert their shares of common stock of GLAC into a pro rata portion of the trust account.

GLAC stockholders holding Public Shares who affirmatively vote against the acquisition proposal may, at the same time, demand that we convert their shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the acquisition. GLAC stockholders who seek to exercise this conversion right must affirmatively vote against the acquisition and deliver their stock certificates (either physically or electronically) to our transfer agent after the special meeting. Any GLAC stockholder who fails to vote or who abstains from voting on the acquisition proposal or who fails to deliver his stock certificate may not exercise his conversion rights and will not receive a pro rata portion of the trust account for conversion of his shares. See the section entitled ‘‘Special Meeting of GLAC Stockholders – Conversion Rights’’ for the procedures to be followed if you wish to convert your shares to cash.

The American Stock Exchange may delist our securities from quotation on its exchange which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

Our securities are listed on the American Stock Exchange. We cannot assure you that our securities will continue to be listed on the American Stock Exchange in the future. Additionally, in connection with the acquisition, it is likely that the American Stock Exchange may require us to file a new initial listing application and meet its initial listing requirements as opposed to its more lenient continued listing requirements. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet those initial listing requirements at that time.

If the American Stock Exchange delists our securities from trading on its exchange, we could face significant material adverse consequences including:

  a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;
  a determination that our common stock is a ‘‘penny stock’’ which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our common stock;
  a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for our company; and
  a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

Our ability to request indemnification from Clark for damages arising out of the acquisition is limited to those claims where damages exceed $375,000.

At the closing of the acquisition, $7,500,000 of the purchase price we will pay to Clark will be deposited in escrow to provide a fund for payment to GLAC with respect to its post-closing rights to indemnification under the purchase agreement for breaches of representations and warranties and covenants by Clark, and for costs in excess of $120,000 incurred in payment of workers’ compensation claims arising out of events occurring prior to the closing. Claims for indemnification may only be asserted by GLAC once the damages exceed $375,000 and are indemnifiable only to the extent that damages exceed $375,000 and recoveries may not exceed $7,500,000. Accordingly, it is possible that GLAC will not be entitled to indemnification even if Clark is found to have breached its representations and warranties and covenants contained in the purchase agreement if such breach would only result in damages to GLAC of less than $375,000. Similarly, GLAC will not be entitled to indemnification for damages in excess of $7,500,000.

Our current directors and executive officers own shares of common stock and warrants that will be worthless if the acquisition is not approved. Such interests may have influenced their decision to approve the business combination with Clark.

Certain of our officers and directors and/or their affiliates beneficially own stock in GLAC that they purchased prior to our IPO. Additionally, our initial stockholders, who also serve as our officers

28




Table of Contents

and directors, purchased 2,272,727 warrants in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with our IPO. Our executive officers and directors and their affiliates are not entitled to receive any of the cash proceeds that may be distributed upon our liquidation with respect to shares they acquired prior to our IPO. Therefore, if the acquisition is not approved and we are forced to liquidate, such shares held by such persons will be worthless, as will the warrants.

In addition, if GLAC liquidates prior to the consummation of a business combination, James Martell, our chairman, and Gregory Burns, our president and chief executive officer and a director, will be personally liable under certain circumstances (for example, if a vendor does not waive any rights or claims to the trust account) to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of certain prospective target businesses and vendors or other entities that are owed money by us for services rendered or products sold to us. As of March 31, 2007 GLAC had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of approximately $272,000, excluding accrued income taxes. It estimates that it will incur additional expenses of approximately $                 that would be required to be paid if the acquisition is not consummated. Of such total of $                , vendors and service providers to whom approximately $                 is or would be owed have waived their rights to make claims for payment from amounts in the trust account. Messrs. Martell and Burns would be obligated to indemnify GLAC for the balance of approximately $                 that would be owed to vendors and service providers that have not given such waivers to the extent that they successfully claim against the trust account funds. Messrs. Martell and Burns have no reason to believe that they will not be able to fulfill their indemnity obligations to GLAC.

These personal and financial interests of our directors and officers may have influenced their decision to approve our business combination with Clark. In considering the recommendations of our board of directors to vote for the acquisition proposal and other proposals, you should consider these interests.

The exercise of our directors’ and officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the business combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the business combination or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in our stockholders’ best interest.

In the period leading up to the closing of the acquisition, events may occur that, pursuant to the purchase agreement, would require GLAC to agree to amendments to the purchase agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by Clark or to waive rights that GLAC is entitled to under the purchase agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of Clark’s business, a request by Clark to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the purchase agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on Clark’s business and would entitle GLAC to terminate the purchase agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be discretionary on GLAC, acting through its board of directors, to grant its consent or waive its rights. The existence of the financial and personal interests of the directors described in the preceding risk factor may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what he may believe is best for GLAC and what he may believe is best for himself in determining whether or not to take the requested action.

If we are unable to complete the business combination with Clark and are forced to dissolve and liquidate, third parties may bring claims against us and, as a result, the proceeds held in trust could be reduced and the per-share liquidation price received by stockholders could be less than $         per share.

If we are unable to complete the business combination with Clark by February 21, 2008 and are forced to dissolve and liquidate, third parties may bring claims against us. Although we have obtained waiver agreements from certain vendors and service providers we have engaged and owe money to, and the prospective target businesses we have negotiated with, whereby such parties have waived any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the trust fund, there is no guarantee that they or other vendors who did not execute such waivers will not seek recourse against the trust fund notwithstanding such agreements. Furthermore, there is no guarantee

29




Table of Contents

that a court will uphold the validity of such agreements. Accordingly, the proceeds held in trust could be subject to claims which could take priority over those of our public stockholders. Additionally, if we are forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against us which is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy or other claims deplete the trust account, we cannot assure you we will be able to return to our public stockholders at least $         per share.

If we do not consummate the business combination with Clark by February 21, 2008 and are forced to dissolve and liquidate, payments from the trust account to our public stockholders may be delayed.

If we do not consummate the business combination with Clark by February 21, 2008, we will dissolve and liquidate. We anticipate that, promptly after such date, the following will occur:

  our board of directors will convene and adopt a specific plan of dissolution and liquidation, which it will then vote to recommend to our stockholders; at such time it will also cause to be prepared a preliminary proxy statement setting out such plan of dissolution and liquidation as well as the board’s recommendation of such plan;
  we will promptly file our preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission;
  if the Securities and Exchange Commission does not review the preliminary proxy statement, then, 10 days following the filing of such preliminary proxy statement, we will mail the definitive proxy statement to our stockholders, and, 10 to 20 days following the mailing of such definitive proxy statement, we will convene a meeting of our stockholders, at which they will vote on our plan of dissolution and liquidation; and
  if the Securities and Exchange Commission does review the preliminary proxy statement, we currently estimate that we will receive their comments 30 days after the filing of such proxy statement. We would then mail the definite proxy statement to our stockholders following the conclusion of the comment and review process (the length of which we cannot predict with any certainty, and which may be substantial) and we will convene a meeting of our stockholders at which they will vote on our plan of dissolution and liquidation.

We expect that a significant part or all of the costs associated with the implementation and completion of our plan of dissolution and liquidation will be funded by Messrs. Martell and Burns, who will advance us the funds necessary to complete such dissolution and liquidation (currently anticipated to be no more than approximately $50,000) and not seek reimbursement thereof.

We will not liquidate the trust account unless and until our stockholders approve our plan of dissolution and liquidation. Accordingly, the foregoing procedures may result in substantial delays in our liquidation and the distribution to our public stockholders of the funds in our trust account and any remaining net assets as part of our plan of dissolution and liquidation.

Our stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us to the extent of distributions received by them.

If we are unable to complete the business combination with Clark, we will dissolve and liquidate pursuant to Section 275 of the DGCL. Under Sections 280 through 282 of the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. Pursuant to Section 280, if the corporation complies with certain procedures intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provisions for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of a stockholder with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro

Table of Contents

rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. Although we will seek stockholder approval to liquidate the trust account to our public stockholders as part of our plan of dissolution and liquidation, we will seek to conclude this process as soon as possible and as a result do not intend to comply with those procedures. Because we will not be complying with those procedures, we are required, pursuant to Section 281 of the DGCL, to adopt a plan that will provide for our payment, based on facts known to us at such time, of (i) all existing claims, (ii) all pending claims and (iii) all claims that may be potentially brought against us within the subsequent 10 years. Accordingly, we would be required to provide for any creditors known to us at that time or those that we believe could be potentially brought against us within the subsequent 10 years prior to distributing the funds held in the trust to stockholders. We cannot assure you that we will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us. As such, our stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution (but no more) and any liability of our stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of such dissolution. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that third parties will not seek to recover from our stockholders amounts owed to them by us.

Additionally, if we are forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders in our dissolution might be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a ‘‘preferential transfer’’ or a ‘‘fraudulent conveyance.’’ As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by our stockholders in our dissolution. Furthermore, because we intend to distribute the proceeds held in the trust account to our public stockholders as soon as possible after our dissolution, this may be viewed or interpreted as giving preference to our public stockholders over any potential creditors with respect to access to or distributions from our assets. Furthermore, our board of directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and our company to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors and/or complying with certain provisions of the DGCL with respect to our dissolution and liquidation. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.

Risks if the Adjournment Proposal is not Approved

If the adjournment proposal is not approved, and an insufficient number of votes have been obtained to authorize the consummation of the acquisition, GLAC’s board of directors will not have the ability to adjourn the special meeting to a later date in order to solicit further votes, and, therefore, the acquisition will not be approved and GLAC will be required to liquidate.

GLAC’s board of directors is seeking approval to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates if, at the special meeting, based upon the tabulated votes, there are insufficient votes to approve the consummation of the acquisition. If the adjournment proposal is not approved, GLAC’s board will not have the ability to adjourn the special meeting to a later date and, therefore, will not have more time to solicit votes to approve the consummation of the acquisition. In such event, the acquisition would not be completed and, unless GLAC were able to consummate a business combination with another party no later than February 21, 2008, it would be required to liquidate.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We believe that some of the information in this proxy statement constitutes forward-looking statements within the definition of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

We believe it is important to communicate our expectations to our stockholders. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to predict accurately or over which we have no control. The risk factors and cautionary language discussed in this proxy statement provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations described by us or Clark in such forward-looking statements, including among other things:

  the number and percentage of our stockholders voting against the acquisition proposal and seeking conversion;
  management of growth;
  general economic conditions;
  Clark’s business strategy and plans; and

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this proxy statement.

All forward-looking statements included herein attributable to any of GLAC, Clark or any person acting on either party’s behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Except to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations, GLAC and Clark undertake no obligations to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this proxy statement or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Before you grant your proxy or instruct how your vote should be cast or vote on the approval of the purchase agreement, you should be aware that the occurrence of the events described in the ‘‘Risk Factors’’ section and elsewhere in this proxy statement could have a material adverse effect on GLAC and/or Clark.

SPECIAL MEETING OF GLAC STOCKHOLDERS

General

We are furnishing this proxy statement to GLAC stockholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by our board of directors for use at the special meeting in lieu of annual meeting of GLAC stockholders to be held on                  , 2007, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. This proxy statement is first being furnished to our stockholders on or about                  , 2007 in connection with the vote on the acquisition proposal, the certificate of incorporation amendments, the incentive compensation plan proposal and the director election proposal. This document provides you with information you need to know to be able to vote or instruct your vote to be cast at the special meeting.

Date, Time and Place

The special meeting of stockholders will be held on                  , 2007, at     :         .m., eastern time, at the offices of Graubard Miller, GLAC’s counsel, at The Chrysler Building, 405 Lexington Avenue, 19th Floor, New York, New York 10174.

Purpose of the GLAC Special Meeting

At the special meeting, we are asking holders of GLAC common stock to:

  consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the purchase agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (acquisition proposal);
  consider and vote upon a proposal to approve an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to change our name from ‘‘Global Logistics Acquisition Corporation’’ to ‘‘Clark Holdings Inc.’’ (name change amendment);
  consider and vote upon a proposal to approve an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to remove from the certificate of incorporation (i) the preamble, sections A through D, inclusive, and section F of Article Sixth, (ii) the last sentence of Article Ninth and (iii) Article Tenth, in its entirety, from and after the closing of the acquisition, as these provisions will no longer be applicable to us, and to redesignate section E of Article Sixth, which relates to the staggered board, as Article Sixth (charter amendment);
  consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the adoption of the 2007 Long-Term Incentive Equity Plan (incentive compensation plan proposal);
  elect seven directors to GLAC’s board of directors, of whom two will serve until the annual meeting to be held in 2009, three will serve until the annual meeting to be held in 2010 and two will serve until the annual meeting to be held in 2011 and, in each case, until their successors are elected and qualified (director election proposal); and
  consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that, based upon the tabulated votes at the time of the special meeting, GLAC would not have been authorized to consummate the acquisition (adjournment proposal).

Recommendation of GLAC Board of Directors

Our board of directors:

  has unanimously determined that each of the acquisition proposal, the name change amendment, the charter amendment and the incentive compensation plan proposal is fair to and in the best interests of us and our stockholders;
  has unanimously approved the acquisition proposal, the name change amendment, the charter amendment and the incentive compensation plan proposal;

33




Table of Contents
  unanimously recommends that our common stockholders vote ‘‘FOR’’ the acquisition proposal;
  unanimously recommends that our common stockholders vote ‘‘FOR’’ the proposal to adopt the name change amendment;
  unanimously recommends that our common stockholders vote ‘‘FOR’’ the proposal to adopt the charter amendment;
  unanimously recommends that our common stockholders vote ‘‘FOR’’ the incentive compensation plan proposal;
  unanimously recommends that our common stockholders vote ‘‘FOR’’ the persons nominated by our management for election as directors; and
  unanimously recommends that our stockholders vote ‘‘FOR’’ an adjournment proposal if one is presented to the meeting.

Record Date; Who is Entitled to Vote

We have fixed the close of business on                  , 2007, as the ‘‘record date’’ for determining GLAC stockholders entitled to notice of and to attend and vote at the special meeting. As of the close of business on                  , 2007, there were 13,500,000 shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote per share at the special meeting.

Pursuant to agreements with us, the 2,500,000 shares of our common stock held by stockholders who purchased their shares of common stock prior to our IPO will be voted on the acquisition proposal in accordance with the majority of the votes cast at the special meeting on such proposal by the holders of the Public Shares. The vote of such shares will not affect the outcome of the vote on the proposal.

Quorum

The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of all the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote constitutes a quorum at the special meeting.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Proxies that are marked ‘‘abstain’’ and proxies relating to ‘‘street name’’ shares that are returned to us but marked by brokers as ‘‘not voted’’ will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters. The latter will not be treated as shares entitled to vote on the matter as to which authority to vote is withheld from the broker. If you do not give the broker voting instructions, under applicable self-regulatory organization rules, your broker may not vote your shares on the acquisition proposal, the name change amendment, the charter amendment and the incentive compensation plan proposal. Since a stockholder must affirmatively vote against the acquisition proposal to have conversion rights, individuals who fail to vote or who abstain from voting may not exercise their conversion rights. See the information set forth in ‘‘Special Meeting of GLAC Stockholders – Conversion Rights.’’

Vote of Our Stockholders Required

The approval of the acquisition proposal will require the affirmative vote for the proposal by the holders of a majority of the Public Shares cast on the proposal at the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will have no effect on the acquisition proposal. You cannot seek conversion unless you affirmatively vote against the acquisition proposal.

The name change amendment and the charter amendment will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of GLAC common stock outstanding on the record date. Because each of these

34




Table of Contents

proposals to amend our charter requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding, abstentions and shares not entitled to vote because of a broker non-vote will have the same effect as a vote against these proposals.

The approval of the incentive compensation plan and an adjournment proposal, if presented, will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our common stock represented and entitled to vote thereon at the meeting. Abstentions are deemed entitled to vote on such proposals. Therefore, they have the same effect as a vote against either proposal. Broker non-votes are not deemed entitled to vote on such proposals and, therefore, they will have no effect on the vote on such proposals.

Directors are elected by a plurality. ‘‘Plurality’’ means that the individuals who receive the largest number of votes cast ‘‘FOR’’ are elected as directors. Consequently, any shares not voted ‘‘FOR’’ a particular nominee (whether as a result of abstentions, a direction to withhold authority or a broker non-vote) will not be counted in the nominee’s favor.

Voting Your Shares

Each share of GLAC common stock that you own in your name entitles you to one vote. Your proxy card shows the number of shares of our common stock that you own.

There are two ways to vote your shares of GLAC common stock at the special meeting:

  You can vote by signing and returning the enclosed proxy card.    If you vote by proxy card, your ‘‘proxy,’’ whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as recommended by our board ‘‘FOR’’ the acquisition proposal, the name change amendment, the charter amendment, the incentive compensation plan proposal, the persons nominated by GLAC’s management for election as directors and, if necessary, an adjournment proposal. Votes received after a matter has been voted upon at the special meeting will not be counted.
  You can attend the special meeting and vote in person.    We will give you a ballot when you arrive. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or another nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way we can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

  you may send another proxy card with a later date;
  you may notify Kenneth L. Saunders, our chief financial officer, treasurer and corporate secretary, in writing before the special meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or
  you may attend the special meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote in person, as indicated above.

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting Your Shares

If you have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your shares of our common stock, you may call                         , our proxy solicitor, at                         , or Kenneth L. Saunders, our chief financial officer, treasurer and corporate secretary at (646) 495-5155.

No Additional Matters May Be Presented at the Special Meeting

This special meeting has been called only to consider the approval of the acquisition proposal, the name change amendment, the charter amendment, the incentive compensation plan proposal and the election of directors. Under our by-laws, other than procedural matters incident to the conduct of the

35




Table of Contents

meeting, no other matters may be considered at the special meeting if they are not included in the notice of the meeting. An adjournment or postponement of the special meeting may occur to solicit additional votes if an adjournment proposal is presented and approved.

Conversion Rights

Any of our stockholders holding Public Shares as of the record date who affirmatively vote their Public Shares against the acquisition proposal may also demand that we convert such shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the acquisition. If demand is properly made and the acquisition is consummated, we will convert these shares into a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the trust account plus interest, calculated as of such date.

GLAC stockholders who seek to exercise this conversion right (‘‘converting stockholders’’) must affirmatively vote against the acquisition proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes do not satisfy this requirement. Additionally, holders demanding conversion must deliver their stock certificates (either physically or electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian) System) to our transfer agent promptly after the meeting.

If you hold the shares in street name, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Certificates that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be converted into cash.

The closing price of our common stock on                  , 2007 (the record date) was $         and the per-share, pro-rata cash held in the trust account on the record date was approximately $        . Prior to exercising conversion rights, stockholders should verify the market price of our common stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their common stock in the public market than from exercising their conversion rights if the market price per share is higher than the conversion price. We cannot assure our stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of GLAC common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the conversion price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in our securities when our stockholders wish to sell their shares.

If the holders of at least 2,200,000 or more Public Shares (an amount equal to 20% or more of the Public Shares), vote against the acquisition proposal and properly demand conversion of their shares, we will not be able to consummate the acquisition.

If you exercise your conversion rights, then you will be exchanging your shares of our common stock for cash and will no longer own those shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you affirmatively vote against the acquisition proposal, properly demand conversion, and deliver your stock certificate (either physically or electronically) to our transfer agent after the meeting within the time period specified in a notice that you will receive from GLAC, which period will be not less than 20 days after the date of the notice.

Appraisal Rights

Stockholders of GLAC do not have appraisal rights in connection the acquisition under the DGCL.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

We are soliciting proxies on behalf of our board of directors. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. We and our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means.

We have hired                          to assist in the proxy solicitation process. We will pay                          a fee of approximately $                 plus disbursements. Such fee will be paid with non-trust account funds.

We will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward its proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. We will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

GLAC Inside Stockholders

As of                      , 2007, James J. Martell, GLAC’s chairman of the board, Gregory E. Burns, GLAC’s chief executive officer, president and a director, Donald G. McInnes, Edward W. Cook and Maurice Levy, each a GLAC director, John Burns, Jr., a GLAC special advisor, Mitchel Friedman and Charles Royce, each a GLAC stockholder, and their affiliates, to whom we collectively refer as the GLAC Inside Stockholders, beneficially owned and were entitled to vote 2,500,000 shares (‘‘Original Shares’’) or approximately 18.5% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock, which were issued to the GLAC Inside Stockholders prior to GLAC’s IPO. In connection with its IPO, GLAC and BB&T Capital Markets., the representative of the underwriters of the IPO, entered into agreements with each of the GLAC Inside Stockholders pursuant to which each GLAC Inside Stockholder agreed to vote his or its Original Shares on the acquisition proposal in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the holders of Public Shares. The GLAC Inside Stockholders have also indicated that they intend to vote their Original Shares in favor of all other proposals being presented at the meeting. The Original Shares have no liquidation rights and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by GLAC. In connection with the IPO, the GLAC Inside Stockholders entered into lock-up agreements with BB&T Capital Markets restricting the sale of their Original Shares until the earlier of six months after a business combination or GLAC’s liquidation.

THE ACQUISITION PROPOSAL

The discussion in this document of the acquisition and the principal terms of the purchase agreement by and among GLAC, Clark and the stockholders of Clark is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the purchase agreement. A copy of the purchase agreement is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement.

General Description of the Acquisition

GLAC, Clark and Clark’s stockholders entered into the purchase agreement on May 18, 2007. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, GLAC will purchase all of the outstanding capital stock of Clark from Clark’s stockholders for a total consideration of $75,000,000 (of which $72,527,472.53 will be paid in cash and $2,472,527.47 will be paid by the issuance of 320,276 shares of GLAC common stock valued at $7.72 per share). The purchase price is subject to dollar-for-dollar increase or decrease to the extent that Clark’s working capital at the time of closing is greater (less negative) or less (more negative) than a working capital deficit of $1,588,462. The purchase price is also subject to decrease if the average of the working capital on the last day of the month for the twelve months ending March 31, 2008 is higher (less negative) than that amount. For such purposes, Clark’s working capital is defined a the sum of (A) current assets excluding cash plus (B) $616,438 representing 3-day check float minus (C) current liabilities minus (D) the aggregate amount of checks outstanding at the closing date that were issued in payment of accounts payable. The working capital will be determined in a manner consistent with that used by Clark prior to the date of execution of the purchase agreement.

The acquisition is expected to be consummated in the third quarter of 2007, after the required approval by the stockholders of GLAC and the fulfillment of certain other conditions, as discussed herein.

Name; Headquarters; Stock Symbols

After completion of the acquisition:

  the name of GLAC will be Clark Holdings Inc.;
  the corporate headquarters and principal executive offices of GLAC will be located at 121 New York Avenue, Trenton, New Jersey 08638, which are Clark’s corporate headquarters; and
  GLAC’s common stock, warrants and units (each consisting of one share of common stock and two warrants) will continue to be traded on the American Stock Exchange under the symbols GLA, GLA.WS and GLA.U, respectively.

Indemnification of GLAC

To provide a fund for payment to GLAC with respect to its post-closing rights to indemnification under the purchase agreement for breaches of representations and warranties and covenants by Clark and liabilities not assumed by GLAC, there will be placed in escrow (with an independent escrow agent) $7,500,000 of the purchase price payable to the Clark stockholders at closing (‘‘Indemnity Escrow Fund’’). Claims for indemnification may be asserted against the Indemnity Escrow Fund by GLAC once its damages exceed $375,000 and will be reimbursable to the extent damages exceed such amount, except that claims made with respect to certain representations and warranties will not be subject to such deductible. Indemnification claims may be made until 18 months after the closing date. One-third of the Indemnity Escrow Fund, less amounts paid in, and reserved for, settlement of indemnification claims, will be released to the Clark stockholders six months after the closing date and one-half of the remaining balance of the Indemnification Escrow Fund, less amounts paid in, and reserved for, settlement of indemnification claims, will be released twelve months after the closing date. However, notwithstanding such release from escrow, the stockholders shall continue to be responsible to pay GLAC, but not in excess of an amount equal to the funds so released, for established indemnification claims resulting from breaches of specified representations of Clark and made prior to the expiration of the sixtieth day after the respective statutes of limitations applicable to the subject matter of such representations. A copy of the Escrow Agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex C.

Table of Contents

Other Escrow Arrangements

Clark’s stockholders will also place $500,000 in escrow to provide a fund to pay GLAC the amount, if any, by which the average of the working capital on the last day of the month for the twelve months ending March 31, 2008 is higher (less negative) than negative $1,588,462. Any balance of such escrow not used to pay GLAC will be returned to Clark’s stockholders. Clark’s stockholders will also place a further $1,000,000 in escrow to provide a fund to reimburse Clark and GLAC for expenses incurred in connection with discontinuing certain of Clark’s present operations in the United Kingdom.

Employment Agreements

On May 18, 2007, Clark entered into employment agreements with two of Clark’s officers, to be effective upon the closing of the acquisition. Please see the section entitled ‘‘The Director Election Proposal – Employment Agreements’’ for the information regarding these agreements, which are attached to this proxy statement as Annexes G and H, respectively. We encourage you to read them in their entirely.

Sale Restriction; Registration of Shares

Pursuant to the purchase agreement, none of the shares of GLAC common stock that will be issued to Clark stockholders at the closing of the acquisition may be sold in the public market for one year following the closing. During such period, no private sales of such shares may be made unless the transferee agrees to a similar restriction. The certificates representing such shares will be legended to such effect.

As soon as practicable after the closing and the availability of required financial statements and other information, GLAC will file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 to effect the registration of the shares of GLAC common stock issued in the transaction for public resale by the holders thereof. Notwithstanding such registration, the sale restriction shall remain in effect for the balance of the one-year period.

Background of the Acquisition

The terms of the purchase agreement are the result of arm’s-length negotiations between GLAC and Clark and their representatives. The following is a brief description of the background of these negotiations, the purchase agreement and related transactions.

Global Logistics Acquisition Corporation was formed on September 1, 2005 to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or similar business combination with an operating business in the transportation and logistics industry. GLAC completed its IPO on February 21, 2006, raising net proceeds, including proceeds from the exercise of the underwriters over allotment option of approximately $80,997,000. Of these net proceeds, $79,340,000 were placed in a trust account immediately following the IPO and in accordance with GLAC’s certificate of incorporation, will be released either upon the consummation of a business combination or upon the liquidation of GLAC. GLAC must liquidate unless it has consummated a business combination by February 21, 2008. As of                          , 2007, the record date, approximately $                     was held in deposit in the trust account.

Promptly following GLAC’s IPO we contacted industry executives, investment banking firms, private equity firms, business brokers, consulting firms, legal and accounting firms and numerous business relationships. In that connection we sent out over 250 letters and e-mails introducing GLAC and forwarding copies of our IPO prospectus to individuals with whom GLAC management had pre-existing relationships. In the course of drafting these communications in March 2006, GLAC concluded that businesses should have a minimum of $6,000,000 of trailing twelve months EBITDA, which was noted in the letters and e-mails.

Through these efforts and our own research, we identified over 280 companies as possible acquisition candidates. In March 2006 we sent inquiries to over 250 companies, seeking additional

39




Table of Contents

information about the company and the potential for a business combination. We entered into approximately 35 non-disclosure agreements, all of which involved companies in the transportation and logistics industry. In narrowing the search, GLAC considered a number of factors and criteria, including:

  Minimum enterprise value – Was the fair market value of the target business at least 80% of our funds in trust?
  Nature, and asset-intensity of the business model – Did the company have a scalable business, with a high percentage of variable costs to fixed costs? Did the business have exposure to international markets, and would it benefit from increased outsourcings. Did the company have ample room to expand without a significant change in its business model?
  Opportunities to improve growth and return profile – Did GLAC management believe there was room to improve the company’s existing growth and ROIC profile?
  Quality and motivation of management – Was management of high quality and motivated to continue to grow with the company in a post transaction environment?
  Availability of comparable business models – Did the company operate with a proven business model that could be readily compared to existing publicly-traded transportation companies.
  Valuation – Was the valuation attractive on both a private company and public company basis. Would the combined company carry an initial valuation that would make the stock an attractive investment to public market investors?

During this period of investigation and continuing through the signing of the purchase agreement with Clark, our board was in contact on a regular basis and met informally or talked by telephone.

We submitted preliminary indications of interest to eight companies, including Clark, at various times from March 2006 to April 2007. Of these eight companies, we signed letters of intent with four companies including Clark:

  In April 2006, we submitted preliminary indications of interest to a Canadian intermodal company, a national drayage company and a West Coast freight forwarder, and we commenced simultaneous due diligence on the three companies.
  In May 2006, we commenced preliminary due diligence and submitted a preliminary letter of intent for a drayage company. Following subsequent due diligence we were informed by the company’s investment banker that the company had received a slightly higher offer. We declined to raise our price and dropped out.
  In June 2006, we submitted a preliminary letter of intent on a non-asset-based truck brokerage company based in Canada and commenced due diligence. We subsequently determined that the company was too small to qualify for our minimum threshold.
  In June 2006, we signed an letter of intent for the Canadian drayage company. We subsequently declined to continue discussions due to valuation concerns.
  In June 2006, we entered into an exclusive LOI for the West Coast ground based forwarder. Discussions were terminated in July when the seller raised his asking price with no significant change in business fundamentals.
  In August 2006, we began preliminary discussions with a non-asset-based trucking company located in Louisiana.
  In September 2006, we met with the management team of a logistics software company serving the rail industry. We declined to pursue the company.
  In November 2006, we entered into an exclusive and signed a letter of intent with the non-asset-based trucking company.
  In December 2006, we were approached to preempt an upcoming auction of a Midwestern based logistics provider serving industrial customers. We submitted a preliminary indication in mid-December.

  In January 2007, our discussions with the Louisiana-based non-asset trucking company terminated.
  In January 2007, we signed an exclusive with the Midwestern based logistics provider and commenced due diligence.
  In January 2007, we retained a business broker which resulted in numerous meetings and two preliminary indications.
  In March 2007, we terminated our discussions with the Midwestern logistics provider based on deteriorating financial performance.

On March 15, 2007 Gregory Burns, our President and CEO was contacted by telephone by Gary Ciuba from Stephens at which a brief overview of the Clark business was discussed. On March 16, GLAC entered into a Non-Disclosure Agreement with Stephens in order to receive more detailed information on Clark.

On March 21, 2007, our Chairman Jim Martell and President and CEO Gregory Burns met with Clark management in Trenton, NJ to further understand the Clark business model and to assess management.

On April 2, 2007 we conducted a due diligence call with Clark management and Stephens to review initial questions developed from a review of the materials that had been provided by the company. Gregory Burns noted the strong market position of Clark, the positive cash flow that Clark historically generated, and the stability of the senior management team. Gregory Burns called a meeting of the Board of Directors and discussed the Clark opportunity along with two other potential opportunities.

We submitted an initial indication of interest to Stephens on April 3, 2007.

On April 6, 2007, our Chairman Jim Martell and President and CEO Gregory Burns met with Clark management in Trenton, NJ. After a review of the financial information and in consultation with Jim Martell, Gregory Burns expressed a strong interest to Gary Ciuba at looking at Clark on an exclusive basis. Gregory Burns indicated that GLAC was evaluating other opportunities, and could not wait for an extended auction process. Gary Ciuba responded that a valuation of $75 mm would be required to work with Stephens and Clark on an exclusive basis. Gregory Burns reviewed the proposed valuation of Clark against industry comparable multiples, pro-forma earnings per share analysis, Clark’s margins and free cash flow and overall business model. After consultations with Jim Martell, Gregory Burns made a strong recommendation to the Board of Directors of GLAC to approve an exclusive letter of intent based on a proposed valuation of $75 million.

After this meeting we submitted a letter of intent on April 10, 2007. The letter of intent provided for an exclusive negotiating period with Clark that would last through May 15, 2007. Both GLAC and the representative for the selling shareholders executed the letter of intent on April 11, 2007.

After the execution of the LOI, the parties began intensive negotiations through numerous phone calls and meetings near Clark’s Trenton headquarters. We requested and received extensive documentation from Clark about its business and financial condition, which we, our attorneys, and our consultants reviewed as part of our due diligence investigations.

On May 4, 2007, we engaged Capitalink L.C. (‘‘Capitalink’’) to provide our directors with an opinion as to the fairness of the transaction to our stockholders, from a financial point of view, and as to whether the value of Clark was at least equal to 80% of our funds in trust. The projections provided to us by Clark were given to Capitalink on May 5, 2007.

During the period following the signing of the letter of intent, our attorneys prepared a draft of the stock purchase agreement and drafts of the other transaction documentation. These were submitted to the selling shareholders, their attorneys and representatives and were revised several times through the course of the negotiations, which took place by email and teleconference. We held several teleconferences with our directors to update them on the progress of the negotiations. By May 15, 2007 the parties had reached agreement on all significant issues on the documentation and we scheduled a formal meeting of our board of directors to consider the proposed transaction.

Experience of GLAC’s Board of Directors

Our executive officers and members of our board of directors are very experienced in business and financial matters and we believe that they are capable of applying sophisticated judgment to financial projections and other financial information, as well as to management capabilities and other business factors. Biographical information about our directors, who have extensive experience (particularly in mergers, acquisitions and other business transactions) with transportation and logistics companies, eminent investment banking firms, other financial institutions and national accounting firms is included in the section entitled ‘‘Directors and Executive Officers of GLAC Following the Acquisition.’’ Our executive officers and directors thus provide the extensive financial analysis, technical and due diligence investigation skills of the types necessary to evaluate Clark’s business and the industry in which it operates.

Factors Considered by GLAC’s Board of Directors

Our board of directors has concluded that now is the proper time to acquire Clark. On an overall basis, the following factors were critical to our decisions at our board of directors meeting held on May 18, 2007, that was called to consider and act upon the approval of the purchase agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby:

  The existence of a viable and sustainable business model. The board concluded that Clark had such a business model based on its operating history and recent trends. The board also concluded that the capital and time needed to increase profitability were within the scope and expectations of GLAC’s stockholders.
  The quality of management and financial backers. During the course of the negotiations and investigations by GLAC, our board met with key members of Clark’s management team and reviewed their prior employment histories. Collectively, the senior management of Clark has over 200 years of experience in the business of supply chain solutions to the print media industry.
  The effect on GLAC’s stock price. GLAC’s directors believe that attention to stock price is fundamental to governance of the company. Based on the factors discussed above, including Clark’s projected revenue and return on invested capital and a comparison of Clark’s financial metrics and purchase price for Clark to the financial metrics and stock price of public companies deemed comparable at the time of the board meeting and GLAC management’s confidence in Clark’s management’s ability to achieve its projections, it concluded that, if the Clark business plan continued to be executed in the manner presented by Clark (which they believed at the time of the board meeting was reasonable to expect), there was a reasonable probability that GLAC’s stock price would rise over time. See the subsection entitled ‘‘Valuation,’’ below.

The GLAC board of directors also considered the matters addressed in the section entitled ‘‘Risk Factors.’’

Based on the foregoing, and notwithstanding the possible negative factors, our board of directors concluded that the purchase agreement with Clark is in the best interests of GLAC’s stockholders. As discussed, it also obtained a fairness opinion that came to the same conclusion prior to approving the purchase agreement. In light of the complexity of the various factors, the board did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors. It should also be noted that individual members of the GLAC board may have given different weight to different factors.

Satisfaction of 80% Test

It is a requirement that any business acquired by GLAC have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the trust account at the time of acquisition, which assets shall include the amount in the trust account. Based on the value of Clark’s asset base, including goodwill, its historical

42




Table of Contents

earnings growth and other financial measures and other factors typically used in valuing businesses, the GLAC board of directors at the board meeting, based on the circumstances at the time, determined that this requirement was met. The GLAC board of directors believes, because of the financial skills and background of its members, it was qualified to conclude that the acquisition of Clark met this requirement. GLAC also received an opinion from Capitalink, L.C. that the 80% test has been met at the time of the board meeting.

Interests of GLAC’s Directors and Officers in the Acquisition

When you consider the recommendation of GLAC’s board of directors in favor of approval of the acquisition proposal, you should keep in mind that GLAC’s executive officers and members of GLAC’s board have interests in the acquisition transaction that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. These interests include, among other things:

  If the acquisition is not approved, GLAC will be required to liquidate. In such event, the 2,500,000 shares of common stock held by the GLAC Inside Stockholders, including GLAC’s officers and directors and their affiliates and other persons, that were acquired prior to the IPO for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000 will be worthless because the GLAC Inside Stockholders are not entitled to receive any liquidation proceeds with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of $                 based on the last sale price of $                 on the American Stock Exchange on                  , 2007, the record date.
  In addition, in connection with the closing of the IPO, the GLAC Inside Stockholders were issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,272,727 shares of GLAC common stock for an aggregate consideration of approximately $2,500,000 ($1.10 per warrant). These warrants had an aggregate market value of $                 based upon the last sale price of $                 on the American Stock Exchange on                  , 2007, the record date. All of the warrants will become worthless if the acquisition is not consummated.
  If GLAC liquidates prior to the consummation of a business combination, Messrs. Martell and Burns will be personally liable to pay debts and obligations to vendors and other entities that are owed money by GLAC for services rendered or products sold to GLAC, or to any target business, to the extent such creditors bring successful claims that would otherwise require payment from moneys in the trust account. This arrangement was entered into to ensure that, in the event of liquidation, the trust account is not reduced by claims of creditors. As of March 31, 2007, GLAC had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of approximately $272,000, excluding accrued income taxes. It estimates that it will incur additional expenses of approximately $                , which must be paid whether or not the acquisition is consummated. Of such total of $                , vendors and service providers to whom approximately $                 is or would be owed have waived their rights to make claims for payment from amounts in the trust account. Messrs. Martell and Burns would be obligated to indemnify GLAC for the balance of approximately $                 that would be owed to vendors and service providers that have not given such waivers to the extent that they successfully claim against the trust account funds.

Capitalink Fairness Opinion

Capitalink made a presentation to our board of directors on May 18, 2007 and subsequently delivered its written opinion to our board of directors, which stated that, as of May 18, 2007, and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, matters considered, and limitations on its review as set forth in the opinion, (i) the purchase price is fair, from a financial point of view, to our stockholders, and (ii) the fair market value of Clark is at least equal to 80% of the balance in the trust account at the time of the acquisition. The amount of the purchase price was determined pursuant to negotiations between us, Clark and Clark’s financial advisor and not pursuant to recommendations of Capitalink. The full text of the written opinion of Capitalink is attached as Annex E and is incorporated by reference into this proxy statement.

You are urged to read the Capitalink opinion carefully and in its entirety for a description of the assumptions made, matters considered, procedures followed and limitations on the review undertaken

Table of Contents

by Capitalink in rendering its opinion. The summary of the Capitalink opinion set forth in this proxy statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion.

The Capitalink opinion is for the use and benefit of our board of directors in connection with its consideration of the transaction and is not intended to be and does not constitute a recommendation to you as to how you should vote or proceed with respect to the transaction. Capitalink was not requested to opine as to, and its opinion does not in any manner address, the relative merits of the transaction as compared to any alternative business strategy that might exist for us, our underlying business decision to proceed with or effect the transaction, and other alternatives to the transaction that might exist for us. Capitalink does not express any opinion as to the underlying valuation or future performance of GLAC or Clark or the price at which GLAC’s or Clark’s securities might trade at any time in the future.

In arriving at its opinion, Capitalink took into account an assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions, as well as its experience in connection with similar transactions and securities valuations generally. In so doing, among other things, Capitalink:

  Reviewed the purchase agreement.
  Reviewed publicly available financial information and other data with respect to us that we deemed relevant, including the Prospectus on Form 424B4 filed February 16, 2006, the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
  Reviewed and compared the trading of, and the trading market for, our common stock and units.
  Reviewed non-public information and other data with respect to Clark, including audited financial statements for the four fiscal periods ended on the Saturday closest to December 31, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively, unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended April 1, 2007, financial projections (excluding any revenue or expenses from Clark’s operations in the United Kingdom) for the four fiscal periods ending on the Saturday closest to December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively, and other internal financial information and management reports.
  Considered the historical financial results and present financial condition of Clark.
  Reviewed and analyzed the purchase price.
  Reviewed and analyzed Clark’s projected unlevered free cash flows and prepared a discounted cash flow analysis.
  Reviewed and analyzed certain financial characteristics of publicly-traded companies that were deemed to have characteristics comparable to Clark.
  Reviewed and analyzed certain financial characteristics of target companies in transactions where such target company was deemed to have characteristics comparable to that of Clark.
  Reviewed and compared our net asset value to the indicated enterprise value range of Clark.
  Reviewed and discussed with representatives of both our management and Clark management certain financial and operating information furnished by them, including financial projections and analyses with respect to Clark’s business and operations.
  Performed such other analyses and examinations as were deemed appropriate.

In arriving at its opinion, Capitalink relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information that was used without assuming any responsibility for any independent verification of any such information. Further, Capitalink relied upon the assurances of both our management and Clark management that they were not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make any such information inaccurate or misleading. With respect to the financial information and projections utilized, Capitalink assumed that such information has been reasonably

44




Table of Contents

prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments, and that such information provides a reasonable basis upon which it could make an analysis and form an opinion. The projections were solely used in connection with the rendering of Capitalink’s fairness opinion. Investors should not place reliance upon such projections, as they are not necessarily an indication of what our revenues and profit margins will be in the future. The projections were prepared by Clark management and are not to be interpreted as projections of future performance (or ‘‘guidance’’) by our management. Capitalink did not evaluate the solvency or fair value of Clark under any foreign, state or federal laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. Capitalink did not make a physical inspection of the properties and facilities of Clark and did not make or obtain any evaluations or appraisals of Clark’s assets and liabilities (contingent or otherwise). In addition, Capitalink did not attempt to confirm whether Clark had good title to its assets.

Capitalink assumed that the transaction will be consummated in a manner that complies in all respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and all other applicable foreign, federal and state statutes, rules and regulations. Capitalink assumed that the transaction will be consummated substantially in accordance with the terms set forth in the stock purchase agreement, without any further amendments thereto, and that any amendments, revisions or waivers thereto will not be detrimental to our stockholders.

Capitalink’s analysis and opinion are necessarily based upon market, economic and other conditions, as they existed on, and could be evaluated as of, May 18, 2007. Accordingly, although subsequent developments may affect its opinion, Capitalink has not assumed any obligation to update, review or reaffirm its opinion.

In connection with rendering its opinion, Capitalink performed certain financial, comparative and other analyses as summarized below. Each of the analyses conducted by Capitalink was carried out to provide a different perspective on the transaction, and to enhance the total mix of information available. Capitalink did not form a conclusion as to whether any individual analysis, considered in isolation, supported or failed to support an opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the purchase price to our stockholders. Further, the summary of Capitalink’s analyses described below is not a complete description of the analyses underlying Capitalink’s opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, a fairness opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its opinion, Capitalink made qualitative judgments as to the relevance of each analysis and factors that it considered. In addition, Capitalink may have given various analyses more or less weight than other analyses, and may have deemed various assumptions more or less probable than other assumptions, so that the range of valuations resulting from any particular analysis described above should not be taken to be Capitalink’s view of the value of Clark’s assets. The estimates contained in Capitalink’s analyses and the ranges of valuations resulting from any particular analysis are not necessarily indicative of actual values or actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. In addition, analyses relating to the value of businesses or assets neither purports to be appraisals nor do they necessarily reflect the prices at which businesses or assets may actually be sold. Accordingly, Capitalink’s analyses and estimates are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty. Capitalink believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses or the factors it considered, without considering all analyses and factors collectively, could create an incomplete and misleading view of the process underlying the analyses performed by Capitalink in connection with the preparation of its opinion.

The summaries of the financial reviews and analyses include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand Capitalink’s financial reviews and analyses, the tables must be read together with the accompanying text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, and if viewed in isolation could create a misleading or incomplete view of the financial analyses performed by Capitalink.

Table of Contents

The analyses performed were prepared solely as part of Capitalink’s analysis of the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the purchase price to our stockholders, and were provided to our board of directors in connection with the delivery of Capitalink’s opinion. The opinion of Capitalink was just one of the many factors taken into account by our board of directors in making its determination to approve the transaction, including those described elsewhere in this proxy statement.

Valuation Overview

Capitalink generated an indicated valuation range for Clark based on a discounted cash flow analysis, a comparable company analysis and a comparable transaction analysis each as more fully discussed below. Capitalink weighted the three approaches equally and arrived at an indicated enterprise value range of approximately $78.5 million and approximately $93.6 million. Because there will be no interest bearing debt assumed or cash acquired in the transaction, Clark’s enterprise value is also equal to its equity value. Capitalink noted that Clark’s indicated equity value range is higher than the purchase price of $75.0 million.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

A discounted cash flow analysis estimates value based upon a company’s projected future free cash flow discounted at a rate reflecting risks inherent in its business and capital structure. Unlevered free cash flow represents the amount of cash generated and available for principal, interest and dividend payments after providing for ongoing business operations.

While the discounted cash flow analysis is the most scientific of the methodologies used, it is dependent on projections and is further dependent on numerous industry-specific and macroeconomic factors.

Capitalink utilized the forecasts provided by Clark management, which project strong growth in gross revenues from 2006 to 2010, resulting from a change in strategy towards building revenue as opposed to maximizing short term EBITDA margins. Based on this strategy, management forecasts a slight reduction in EBITDA margins as the company pursues the revenue growth strategy.

For purposes of Capitalink’s analyses, ‘‘EBITDA’’ means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted for add-backs for owner’s compensation, management fees and one-time charges.

In order to arrive at a present value, Capitalink utilized discount rates ranging from 14.0% to 16.0%. This was based on an estimated weighted average cost of capital of 15.3% (based on Clark’s estimated weighted average cost of debt of 7.4% and a 15.9% estimated cost of equity). The cost of equity calculation was derived utilizing the Ibbotson build up method utilizing appropriate equity risk, industry risk and size premiums and a company specific risk factor of 0.5%, reflecting the risk associated with the projections and the revenue growth strategy.

Capitalink presented a range of terminal values at the end of the forecast period by applying a range of terminal exit EBITDA multiples as well as long term perpetual growth rates.

Utilizing terminal EBITDA multiples of between 10.0x and 12.0x and long term perpetual growth rates of between 8.0% and 9.0%, Capitalink calculated a range of indicated enterprise values of between approximately $76.0 million to approximately $104.1 million. For purposes of Capitalink’s analyses, ‘‘enterprise value’’ means equity value plus all interest-bearing debt less cash.

Comparable Company Analysis

A selected comparable company analysis reviews the trading multiples of publicly traded companies that are similar to Clark with respect to business and revenue model, operating sector, size and target customer base.

46




Table of Contents

Capitalink identified the following six companies that it deemed comparable to Clark with respect to their industry sector and operating model. All of the comparable companies primarily provide third party transportation logistics services in the United States. The comparable companies include:

  CH Robinson Worldwide, Inc.
  Expeditors International of Washington, Inc.
  UTI Worldwide, Inc.
  EGL, Inc.
  Hub Group, Inc.
  Target Logistics, Inc.

Most of the comparable companies are substantially larger than Clark, with latest twelve months, or LTM, gross profit ranging from approximately $52.5 million to approximately $1.3 billion, compared with approximately $28.9 million for Clark. Based on publicly available information as of May 11, 2007, the enterprise value for the comparable companies ranged from approximately $44.6 million to approximately $9.3 billion.

Capitalink noted the following with respect to the comparable companies:

  Clark’s EBITDA margins (as a percentage of gross revenues) were substantially higher than the comparable companies, ranging from 2.3% to approximately 9.9%, compared with approximately 10.6% for Clark.
  Clark’s EBITDA margins (as a percentage of gross profit) were slightly above the mean of the comparable companies, with the mean EBITDA margin of 26.5%, compared with 28.4% for Clark.
  EGL has received multiple offers to be acquired. Capitalink noted that its stock price and valuation reflects a controlling value for the company.
  Historically Clark’s revenue and EBITDA growth has been lower than all of the comparable companies.

Multiples utilizing enterprise value were used in the analyses. For comparison purposes, all operating profits including EBITDA were normalized to exclude unusual and extraordinary expenses and income.

Capitalink generated a number of multiples worth noting with respect to the comparable companies:


Enterprise Value Multiple of Mean Median High Low
LTM EBITDA 14.8x 14.2x 20.0x 10.9x
2007 EBITDA 13.4x 12.9x 19.5x 6.6x
2008 EBITDA 12.7x 12.4x 16.5x 9.9x

Capitalink also reviewed the historical multiples generated for the comparable companies, and noted that the mean enterprise value to LTM EBITDA multiple over the last ten years was 13.2x.

Capitalink selected an appropriate multiple range for Clark by examining the range indicated by the comparable companies and taking into account certain company-specific factors. Capitalink expects Clark’s EBITDA valuation multiples to be below the mean of the comparable companies due to Clark’s lower historical EBITDA growth, lower projected 2007 and 2008 EBITDA growth, and significantly smaller size.

Based on the above factors, Capitalink applied the following multiples to the respective statistics:

  Multiples of 10.0x to 11.0x LTM EBITDA
  Multiples of 9.5x to 10.5x 2007 EBITDA
  Multiples of 8.0x to 9.0x 2008 EBITDA

47




Table of Contents

and calculated a range of enterprise values for Clark, by weighting the above indications equally, of approximately $76.7 million to approximately $85.0 million.

None of the comparable companies have characteristics identical to Clark. An analysis of publicly traded comparable companies is not mathematical; rather it involves complex consideration and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the comparable companies and other factors that could affect the public trading of the comparable companies.

Comparable Transaction Analysis

A comparable transaction analysis involves a review of merger, acquisition and asset purchase transactions involving target companies that are in related industries to Clark. The comparable transaction analysis generally provides the widest range of value due to the varying importance of an acquisition to a buyer (i.e., a strategic buyer willing to pay more than a financial buyer) in addition to the potential differences in the transaction process (i.e., competitiveness among potential buyers).

Information is typically not disclosed for transactions involving a private seller, even when the buyer is a public company, unless the acquisition is deemed to be ‘‘material’’ for the acquirer. As a result, the selected comparable transaction analysis is limited to transactions involving the acquisition of a public company, or substantially all of its assets, or the acquisition of a large private company, or substantially all of its assets, by a public company.

Capitalink located 19 transactions announced since January 2004 involving target companies providing third party transportation logistic services and for which detailed financial information was available.


Target Acquiror
EGL, Inc. CEVA Logistics
Greatwide Logistics Services Investcorp
FMI International Summit Global Logistics
TNT Logistics Holdings BV Apollo Management
IMPAC Logistic Services Integrated Distribution
Global Link Logistics Gold Gate Logistics
Market Transport Services UTI Worldwide
Comtrak Logistics Hub Group
BAX Global Deutsche Bahn
PBB Global Logistics Inc Fund Livingston International Income Fund
Exel PLC Deutsche Post
Towne Holdings Charterhouse Group
Geologistics Agility
Ozburn-Hessey Logistics Welsh, Carson
Panther Expedited Services Fenway Partners
USF Corp Yellow Roadway Corp.
Total Logistics SUPERVALU
Unigistix UTI Worldwide
Tibbet & Britten Group Exel PLC

Based on the information disclosed with respect to the targets in the each of the comparable transactions, Capitalink calculated and compared the enterprise values as a multiple of LTM EBITDA.

Capitalink noted the following with respect to the multiples generated:


Multiple of enterprise value to Mean Median High Low
LTM EBITDA 9.7x 9.5x 14.4x 6.3x

Capitalink expects Clark to be valued around the mean of the comparable transactions multiples, after taking into account Clark’s higher average EBITDA margins, strong position in print media distribution market, significant growth opportunities, offset by its smaller size.

48




Table of Contents

Based on the above factors, Capitalink applied a range of LTM EBITDA multiples of between 9.5 times and 10.5 times and calculated a range of enterprise values for Clark of between approximately $82.9 million and approximately $91.6 million.

None of the target companies in the comparable transactions have characteristics identical to Clark. Accordingly, an analysis of comparable business combinations is not mathematical; rather it involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the target companies in the comparable transactions and other factors that could affect the respective acquisition values.

80% Test

Our initial business combination must be with a target business whose fair market value is at least equal to 80% of the balance in the trust account at the time of such acquisition. Capitalink reviewed the balance in our trust account as of March 31, 2007 and compared that to Clark’s indicated range of enterprise value. Capitalink noted that the fair market value of Clark exceeds 80% of the balance in the trust account.

Based on the information and analyses set forth above, Capitalink delivered its written opinion to our board of directors, which stated that, as of May 18, 2007, based upon and subject to the assumptions made, matters considered, and limitations on its review as set forth in the opinion, (i) the purchase price is fair, from a financial point of view, to our stockholders, and (ii) the fair market value of Clark is at least equal to 80% of the balance in the trust account at the time of the acquisition. Capitalink is an investment banking firm that, as part of its investment banking business, regularly is engaged in the evaluation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions, corporate restructurings, private placements, and for other purposes. We determined to use the services of Capitalink because it is a recognized investment banking firm that has substantial experience in similar matters. Capitalink has received a fee in connection with the preparation and issuance of its opinion and will be reimbursed for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including attorneys’ fees. In addition, we have agreed to indemnify Capitalink for certain liabilities that may arise out of the rendering of its opinion. Capitalink does not beneficially own any interest in either us or Clark and has not provided either company with any other services.

In the ordinary course of business, Capitalink’s affiliate Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. (‘‘Ladenburg’’), certain of Ladenburg’s affiliates, as well as investment funds in which they may have financial interests, may acquire, hold or sell, long or short positions, or trade or otherwise effect transactions, in debt, equity, and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, or investments in, us, any other party that may be involved in the transaction and their respective affiliates.

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Acquisition

The following section is a summary of the opinion of Graubard Miller, counsel to GLAC, regarding material United States federal income tax consequences of the acquisition to holders of GLAC common stock. This discussion addresses only those GLAC security holders that hold their securities as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), and does not address all the United States federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular holders in light of their individual circumstances or to holders that are subject to special rules, such as:

  financial institutions;
  investors in pass-through entities;
  tax-exempt organizations;
  dealers in securities or currencies;
  traders in securities that elect to use a mark to market method of accounting;

49




Table of Contents
  persons that hold GLAC common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, constructive sale or conversion transaction; and
  persons who are not citizens or residents of the United States.

The Graubard Miller opinion is based upon the Code, applicable treasury regulations thereunder, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect as of the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Tax considerations under state, local and foreign laws, or federal laws other than those pertaining to the income tax, are not addressed.

Neither GLAC nor Clark intends to request any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service as to the United States federal income tax consequences of the acquisition.

It is the opinion of Graubard Miller that no gain or loss will recognized by GLAC or by the stockholders of GLAC if their conversion rights are not exercised.

It is also the opinion of Graubard Miller that a stockholder of GLAC who exercises conversion rights and effects a termination of the stockholder’s interest in GLAC will generally be required to recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of that stockholder’s shares of common stock of GLAC for cash. Such gain or loss will be measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and the tax basis of that stockholder’s shares of GLAC common stock. This gain or loss will generally be a capital gain or loss if such shares were held as a capital asset on the date of the acquisition and will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period for the share of GLAC common stock is more than one year. The tax opinion issued to GLAC by Graubard Miller, its counsel, is attached to this proxy statement as Annex F. Graubard Miller has consented to the use of its opinion in this proxy statement.

This discussion is intended to provide only a general summary of the material United States federal income tax consequences of the acquisition. It does not address tax consequences that may vary with, or are contingent on, your individual circumstances. In addition, the discussion does not address any non-income tax or any foreign, state or local tax consequences of the acquisition. Accordingly, you are strongly urged to consult with your tax advisor to determine the particular United States federal, state, local or foreign income or other tax consequences to you of the acquisition.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Under this method of accounting, Clark will be treated as the acquired company and GLAC will be the acquirer. As a result, the identifiable assets and liabilities of Clark will be adjusted to their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. Any excess of the purchase price over the net fair value of assets acquired will be allocated to goodwill. The assets of GLAC will continue to be reported at historical cost. Results of operations of Clark will be included with GLAC from the date of acquisition forward.

Regulatory Matters

The acquisition and the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement are not subject to any additional federal or state regulatory requirement or approval, including the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, or HSR Act, except for filings with the State of Delaware necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the acquisition proposal.

Required Vote

The approval of the acquisition proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Public Shares cast on the proposal at the special meeting.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS VOTE ‘‘FOR’’ THE APPROVAL OF THE ACQUISITION PROPOSAL.

Conditions to Closing of the Acquisition

General Conditions

53




Table of Contents

In addition, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement is conditioned upon normal closing conditions in a transaction of this nature, including:

  holders of fewer than twenty percent (20%) of the Public Shares outstanding immediately before the consummation of the acquisition shall have properly exercised their rights to convert their shares into a pro rata share of the trust account in accordance with GLAC’s certificate of incorporation;
  the execution by and delivery to each party of each of the various transaction documents;
  the delivery by each party to the other party of a certificate to the effect that the representations and warranties of the delivering party are true and correct in all material respects as of the closing and all covenants contained in the purchase agreement have been materially complied with by the delivering party;
  the receipt of necessary consents and approvals by third parties and the completion of necessary proceedings;
  GLAC’s common stock being listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange or Nasdaq or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board; and
  no order, stay, judgment or decree being issued by any governmental authority preventing, restraining or prohibiting, in whole or in part, the consummation of such transactions;

Clark’s Conditions to Closing

The obligations of Clark to consummate the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement also are conditioned upon, among other things, there being no material adverse change in the business of GLAC since the date of the purchase agreement.

GLAC’s Conditions to Closing

The obligations of GLAC to consummate the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement, in addition to the conditions described above in the second paragraph of this section, are conditioned upon each of the following, among other things:

  there shall have been no material adverse change in the assets, liabilities or financial condition of Clark, its subsidiaries or their businesses since the date of the purchase agreement;
  Messrs. Teagan and Barry being ready, willing and able to perform under their respective employment agreements;
  The selling stockholders shall have repaid to Clark all indebtedness for borrowed money;

If permitted under applicable law, either Clark or GLAC may waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained in the purchase agreement and waive compliance with any agreements or conditions for the benefit of itself or such party contained in the purchase agreement. The condition requiring that the holders of fewer than 20% of the Public Shares affirmatively vote against the acquisition proposal and demand conversion of their shares into cash may not be waived. We cannot assure you that all of the conditions will be satisfied or waived.

54




Table of Contents

Termination

The purchase agreement may be terminated at any time, but not later than the closing as follows:

  By mutual written consent of GLAC and the Clark stockholders (acting through their representative);
  By either GLAC or the representative of the Clark stockholders if the acquisition is not consummated on or before September 30, 2007, provided that such termination is not available to a party whose action or failure to act has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the acquisition to be consummated before such date and such action or failure to act is a breach of the purchase agreement;
  By either GLAC or the representative of the Clark stockholders if a governmental entity shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action, in any case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the acquisition, which order, decree, judgment, ruling or other action is final and nonappealable;
  By either GLAC or the representative of the Clark stockholders if the other party has breached any of its covenants or representations and warranties in any material respect and has not cured its breach within thirty days of the notice of an intent to terminate, provided that the terminating party is itself not in breach; and
  By either GLAC or the representative of the Clark stockholders if, at the GLAC stockholder meeting, the purchase agreement shall fail to be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Public Shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the special meeting or the holders of 20% or more of such shares exercise conversion rights; and
  By the representative of the Clark stockholders if GLAC’s board of directors fails to include a recommendation to GLAC’s stockholders in the proxy statement to approve the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or withdraws or modifies (in a manner adverse to Clark or its stockholders) such recommendation.

Effect of Termination

In the event of proper termination by either GLAC or Clark, the purchase agreement will become void and have no effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of GLAC or Clark, except that:

  the confidentiality obligations set forth in the purchase agreement will survive;
  the waiver by Clark of all rights against GLAC to collect from the trust account any moneys that may be owed to it by GLAC for any reason whatsoever, including but not limited to a breach of the purchase agreement, and the acknowledgement that Clark will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason whatsoever, will survive;
  the rights of the parties to bring actions against each other for breach of the purchase agreement will survive; and
  the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the purchase agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby will be paid by the party incurring such expenses.

The purchase agreement does not specifically address the rights of a party in the event of a material breach by a party of its covenants or warranties or a refusal or wrongful failure of the other party to consummate the acquisition. However, the non-wrongful party would be entitled to assert its legal rights for breach of contract against the wrongful party.

Fees and Expenses

All fees and expenses incurred in connection with the purchase agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby will be paid by the party incurring such expenses whether or not the purchase

agreement is consummated, except GLAC has agreed to reimburse Clark for the cost of work by Parente Randolph, LLC related to (i) the preparation of financial statements that are required for inclusion in the Proxy Statement, including adjustments and other changes required with respect to the Company’s financial statements for periods ended prior to December 31, 2006, (ii) review of the Proxy Statement, including any amendments thereto, and (iii) the preparation and review of any other filings made with the Commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. As of May 31, 2007, Clark had incurred fees of approximately $                . Additional fees will be incurred prior to the mailing of this proxy statement. Parente Randolph’s services were required in connection with the preparation of the proxy statement. The parties also have agreed to each pay one-half of any sales tax payable in connection with the acquisition.

As of March 31, 2007, GLAC had accounts payable and accrued liabilities that totaled approximately $272,000, excluding accrued income taxes. It estimates that it will incur additional expenses of approximately $                 that would be required to be paid if the acquisition is not consummated. Of such total of approximately $                , vendors and service providers to whom $                 is or would be owed have waived their rights to make claims for payment from amounts in the trust account. Any of GLAC’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities that are outstanding upon the consummation of the acquisition will be paid by the combined company following the acquisition. If the acquisition is consummated and GLAC is required to borrow funds to pay conversions, which it will be required to do if conversions exceed     % of the Public Shares ($                ), GLAC will also incur further additional expenses of approximately $                 for advisory fees and other expenses related to financing for the acquisition, which will be paid by the combined company following the acquisition.

Confidentiality; Access to Information

GLAC and Clark will afford to the other party and its financial advisors, accountants, counsel and other representatives prior to the completion of the acquisition reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, to all of their respective properties, books, records and personnel to obtain all information concerning the business, including the status of product development efforts, properties, results of operations and personnel, as each party may reasonably request. GLAC and Clark will maintain in confidence any non-public information received from the other party, and use such non-public information only for purposes of consummating the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement.

Amendments

The purchase agreement may be amended by the parties thereto at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties. As used in this proxy statement the term ‘‘purchase agreement’’ means the stock purchase agreement dated May 18, 2007.

Extension; Waiver

At any time prior to the closing, any party to the purchase agreement may, in writing, to the extent legally allowed:

  extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties to the agreement;
  waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained in the purchase agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to the purchase agreement; and
  waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained in the purchase agreement, except that the condition requiring that the holders of fewer than 20% of the Public Shares affirmatively vote against the acquisition proposal and demand conversion of their shares into cash may not be waived.

56




Table of Contents

Public Announcements

GLAC and Clark have agreed that until closing or termination of the purchase agreement, the parties will:

  cooperate in good faith to jointly prepare all press releases and public announcements pertaining to the purchase agreement and the transactions governed by it; and
  not issue or otherwise make any public announcement or communication pertaining to the purchase agreement or the transaction without the prior consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld by the other party, except as may be required by applicable law or court process.

Arbitration

Any disputes or claims arising under or in connection with the purchase agreement or the transactions contemplated thereunder will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration will be commenced by the filing by a party of an arbitration demand with the American Arbitration Association (‘‘AAA’’). The arbitration will be held in Wilmington, Delaware, governed and conducted by applicable AAA rules, and any award and/or decision shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. Each party has consented to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the State of New York, New York County, for such purpose. Each party shall pay its own fees and expenses for the arbitration, except that any costs and charges imposed by the AAA and any fees of the arbitrator shall be assessed against the losing party.

SELECTED UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet combines the historical unaudited balance sheets of GLAC as of March 31, 2007, and the unaudited balance sheets of Clark as of March 31, 2007, giving effect to the transactions described in the Purchase Agreement with purchase accounting applied to the acquired Clark assets as if they had occurred on the last day of the period.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations combines (i) the historical audited statement of operations of GLAC for the year ended December 31, 2006 and historical audited statement of operations of Clark for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2006 and (ii) the historical unaudited statement of operations of GLAC for the three months ended March 31, 2007, and the unaudited statement of operations of Clark for the 13 weeks ended March 31, 2007, giving effect to the transactions described in the Purchase Agreement with purchase accounting applied to the acquired Clark assets as if they had occurred on January 1, 2006 with respect to GLAC and December 31, 2005 with respect to Clark (Clark’s fiscal year consists of a 52/53 week period ending on the Saturday closest to December 31st. Their quarters consist of 13 week periods).

The historical financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are directly attributable to the transaction, are factually supportable and, in the case of the pro forma income statements, have a recurring impact.

The purchase price allocation has not been finalized and is subject to change based upon recording of actual transaction costs, finalization of working capital adjustments, and completion of appraisals of the principal Clark assets.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2007 and unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006 have been prepared using two different levels of approval of the transaction by the GLAC stockholders, as follows:

  Assuming No Conversions: This presentation assumes that none of the holders of Public Shares exercise their conversion rights; and
  Assuming Maximum Conversions: This presentation assumes that 19.99% of the holders of Public Shares exercise their conversion rights.

GLAC is providing this information to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the transaction. The unaudited pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that may have actually occurred had the transaction taken place on the dates noted, or the future financial position or operating results of the combined company.

NAME CHANGE AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

Pursuant to the purchase agreement, we will change our corporate name from ‘‘Global Logistics Acquisition Corporation’’ to ‘‘Clark Holdings Inc.’’ upon consummation of the acquisition. If the acquisition proposal is not approved, the name change amendment will not be presented at the meeting.

In the judgment of our board of directors, the change of our corporate name is desirable to reflect our acquisition of Clark. The Clark name has been a recognized name for many years in the business of supply chain solutions for the print media industry.

The approval of the name change amendment will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of GLAC common stock on the record date.

Stockholders will not be required to exchange outstanding stock certificates for new stock certificates if the amendment is adopted.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS VOTE ‘‘FOR’’ THE APPROVAL OF THE NAME CHANGE AMENDMENT.

CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

Pursuant to the purchase agreement, we will, upon consummation of the acquisition, remove from GLAC’s certificate of incorporation (i) the preamble, sections A through D, inclusive, and section F of Article Sixth, (ii) the last sentence of Article Ninth and (iii) Article Tenth, in its entirety, and redesignate section E of Article Sixth as Article Sixth. If the acquisition proposal is not approved, the charter amendment will not be presented at the meeting.

In the judgment of our board of directors, the charter amendment is desirable, as sections A through D and F of Article Sixth, the last sentence of Article Ninth and Article Tenth relate to the operation of GLAC as a blank check company prior to the consummation of a business combination. Such sections will not be applicable upon consummation of the acquisition.

The approval of the charter amendment will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of GLAC common stock on the record date.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS VOTE ‘‘FOR’’ THE APPROVAL OF THE CHARTER AMENDMENT.

THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

The adjournment proposal allows GLAC’s board of directors to submit a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the consummation of the acquisition. In no event will GLAC solicit proxies to adjourn the special meeting or consummate the acquisition beyond the date by which it may properly do so under its certificate of incorporation and Delaware law.

Consequences if Adjournment Proposal is not Approved

If an adjournment proposal is presented to the meeting and is not approved by the stockholders, GLAC’s board of directors may not be able to adjourn the special meeting to a later date in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the consummation of the acquisition. In such event, the acquisition would not be completed and, unless GLAC were able to consummate a business combination with another party no later than February 21, 2008, it would be required to liquidate.

Required Vote

Adoption of the adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of GLAC’s common stock represented in person or by proxy at the meeting. Adoption of the adjournment proposal is not conditioned upon the adoption of any of the other proposals.

Our board of directors unanimously recommends that our stockholders vote ‘‘FOR’’ the approval of an adjournment proposal.

INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN PROPOSAL

Background

GLAC’s Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan has been approved by GLAC’s board of directors and will take effect upon consummation of the acquisition, provided that it is approved by the stockholders at the special meeting. We are submitting the plan to our stockholders for their approval in order to comply with American Stock Exchange policy and so that options granted under the plan may qualify for treatment as incentive stock options.

The plan reserves 930,000 shares of GLAC common stock for issuance in accordance with its terms. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan will be increased on the first day of each of GLAC’s fiscal years from 2008 through 2016 to 3% of the number of fully diluted shares of GLAC’s common stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal years. Pursuant to an employment agreement to be effective upon consummation of the Clark acquisition, Mr. Teagan and Mr. Barry will be granted options to purchase 98,250 shares of GLAC common stock after the fiscal 2007 year end audit has been completed. After such grants, there will be 831,750 shares remaining for issuance in accordance with the plan’s terms, including grants to non-employee directors following each annual meeting of stockholders. The purpose of the plan is to enable GLAC to offer its employees, officers, directors and consultants whose past, present and/or potential contributions to GLAC have been, are or will be important to the success of GLAC, an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in GLAC. The various types of incentive awards that may be provided under the plan will enable GLAC to respond to changes in compensation practices, tax laws, accounting regulations and the size and diversity of its business.

All officers, directors and employees of Clark and GLAC will be eligible to be granted awards under the plan. An incentive stock option may be granted under the plan only to a person who, at the time of the grant, is an employee of Clark or a related corporation. No allocations of shares that may be subject to awards have been made in respect of the executive officers or any other group, except as set forth below. All awards will be subject to the recommendations of the compensation committee and approval by the board of directors or the compensation committee.

A summary of the principal features of the plan is provided below, but is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the plan, which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex C.

Administration

The plan is administered by our board of directors or our compensation committee. Subject to the provisions of the plan, the board or committee determines, among other things, the persons to whom from time to time awards may be granted, the specific type of awards to be granted, the number of shares subject to each award, share prices, any restrictions or limitations on the, and any vesting, exchange, deferral, surrender, cancellation, acceleration, termination, exercise or forfeiture provisions related to the awards. In the case of awards intended to qualify as ‘‘performance-based compensation’’ within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, which we refer to as the Code, the committee will consist of two or more ‘‘outside directors’’ within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.

Stock Subject to the Plan

Shares of stock subject to other awards that are forfeited or terminated will be available for future award grants under the plan. If a holder pays the exercise price of a stock option by surrendering any previously owned shares of common stock or arranges to have the appropriate number of shares otherwise issuable upon exercise withheld to cover the withholding tax liability associated with the stock option exercise, then the in the Board’s or committee’s discretion, the number of shares available under the plan may be increased by the lesser of the number of such surrendered shares and shares used to pay taxes and the number of shares purchased under the stock option.

68




Table of Contents

Under the plan, on a change in the number of shares of our common stock as a result of a dividend on shares of common stock payable in shares of common stock, common stock split or reverse split or other extraordinary or unusual event that results in a change in the shares of common stock as a whole, the terms of the outstanding award will be proportionately adjusted and the board or committee may determine whether to change the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan.

Eligibility

We may grant awards under the plan to employees, officers, directors and consultants who are deemed to have rendered, or to be able to render, significant services to us and who are deemed to have contributed, or to have the potential to contribute, to our success.

Types of Awards

Options.    The plan provides both for ‘‘incentive’’ stock options as defined in Section 422 of the Code, and for options not qualifying as incentive options, both of which may be granted with any other stock−based award under the plan. The board or committee determines the exercise price per share of common stock purchasable under an incentive or non-qualified stock option, which may not be less than 100% of the fair market value on the day of the grant or, if greater, the par value of a share of common stock. However, the exercise price of an incentive stock option granted to a person possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock may not be less than 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant.

An incentive stock option may only be granted within a ten-year period from the date of the consummation of acquisition and may only be exercised within ten years from the date of the grant, or within five years in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a person who, at the time of the grant, owns common stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock. Subject to any limitations or conditions the board or committee may impose, stock options may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time during the term of the stock option by giving written notice of exercise to us specifying the number of shares of common stock to be purchased. The notice must be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price, either in cash or, if provided in the agreement, in our securities or in combination of the two.

Generally, stock options granted under the plan may not be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and all stock options are exercisable during the holder’s lifetime, or in the event of legal incapacity or incompetency, the holder’s guardian or legal representative. However, a holder, with the approval of the board or committee, may transfer a non-qualified stock option by gift to a family member of the holder, by domestic relations order to a family member of the holder or by transfer to an entity in which more than fifty percent of the voting interests are owned by family members of the holder or the holder, in exchange for an interest in that entity.

Generally, if the holder is an employee, no stock options granted under the plan may be exercised by the holder unless he or she is employed by us or a subsidiary of ours at the time of the exercise and has been so employed continuously from the time the stock options were granted. However, in the event the holder’s employment is terminated due to disability, the holder may still exercise his or her vested stock options for a period of 12 months or such other greater or lesser period as the board or committee may determine, from the date of termination or until the expiration of the stated term of the stock option, whichever period is shorter. Similarly, should a holder die while employed by us or a subsidiary, his or her legal representative or legatee under his or her will may exercise the decedent holder’s vested stock options for a period of 12 months from the date of his or her death, or such other greater or lesser period as the board or committee may determine or until the expiration of the stated term of the stock option, whichever period is shorter. If the holder’s employment is terminated due to normal retirement, the holder may still exercise his or her vested stock options for a period of one year from the date of termination or until the expiration of the stated term of the stock option, whichever period is shorter. If the holder’s employment is terminated for any reason other than death, disability or normal retirement, the stock option will automatically terminate, except

69




Table of Contents

that if the holder’s employment is terminated by us without cause, then the portion of any stock option that has vested on the date of termination may be exercised for the lesser of three months after termination of employment, or such other greater or lesser period as the board or committee may determine but not beyond the balance of the stock option’s term.

Stock Appreciation Rights.    Under the plan, we may grant stock appreciation rights to participants who have been, or are being, granted stock options under the plan as a means of allowing the participants to exercise their stock options without the need to pay the exercise price in cash. In conjunction with non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights may be granted either at or after the time of the grant of the non-qualified stock options. In conjunction with incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights may be granted only at the time of the grant of the incentive stock options. A stock appreciation right entitles the holder to receive a number of shares of common stock having a fair market value equal to the excess fair market value of one share of common stock over the exercise price of the related stock option, multiplied by the number of shares subject to the stock appreciation rights. The granting of a stock appreciation right will not affect the number of shares of common stock available for awards under the plan. The number of shares available for awards under the plan will, however, be reduced by the number of shares of common stock acquirable upon exercise of the stock option to which the stock appreciation right relates.

Restricted Stock.    Under the plan, we may award shares of restricted stock either alone or in addition to other awards granted under the plan. The board or committee determines the persons to whom grants of restricted stock are made, the number of shares to be awarded, the price if any to be paid for the restricted stock by the person receiving the stock from us, the time or times within which awards of restricted stock may be subject to forfeiture, the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof, and all other terms and conditions of the restricted stock awards.

Restricted stock awarded under the plan may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of, other than to us, during the applicable restriction period. In order to enforce these restrictions, the plan requires that all shares of restricted stock awarded to the holder remain in our physical custody until the restrictions have terminated and all vesting requirements with respect to the restricted stock have been fulfilled. Other than regular cash dividends and other cash equivalent distributions as we may designate, pay or distribute, we will retain custody of all distributions made or declared with respect to the restricted stock during the restriction period. A breach of any restriction regarding the restricted stock will cause a forfeiture of the restricted stock and any retained distributions. Except for the foregoing restrictions, the holder will, even during the restriction period, have all of the rights of a stockholder, including the right to receive and retain all regular cash dividends and other cash equivalent distributions as we may designate, pay or distribute on the restricted stock and the right to vote the shares.

Deferred Stock.    Under the plan, we may award shares of deferred stock either alone or in addition to other awards granted under the plan. The board or committee determines the eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at which, deferred stock will be awarded, the number of shares of deferred stock to be awarded to any person, the duration of the period during which, and the conditions under which, receipt of the stock will be deferred, and all the other terms and conditions of deferred stock awards.

Deferred stock awards granted under the plan may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of other than to us during the applicable deferral period. The holder shall not have any rights of a stockholder until the expiration of the applicable deferral period and the issuance and delivery of the certificates representing the common stock. The holder may request to defer the receipt of a deferred stock award for an additional specified period or until a specified event. This request must generally be made at least one year prior to the expiration of the deferral period for the deferred stock award.

Other Stock-Based Awards.    Under the plan, we may grant other stock-based awards, subject to limitations under applicable law, that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, shares of common stock, as deemed consistent with the purposes of the plan. These other stock-based awards may be in the form of purchase rights,

70




Table of Contents

shares of common stock awarded that are not subject to any restrictions or conditions, convertible or exchangeable debentures or other rights convertible into shares of common stock and awards valued by reference to the value of securities of, or the performance of, one of our subsidiaries. These other stock-based awards may include performance shares or options, whose award is tied to specific performance criteria. These other stock-based awards may be awarded either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with any other awards under the plan or any of our other plans.

Accelerated Vesting and Exercisability.    Unless otherwise provided in the grant of an award, the compensation committee may, in the event of a ‘‘Corporate Transaction’’ which has been approved by our board of directors, accelerate the vesting of any and all stock options and other awards granted and outstanding under the plan. For this purpose, a corporate transaction generally includes an acquisition or consolidation in which Clark does not survive; sale, transfer, or disposition of substantially all the assets of Clark; the liquidation or dissolution of Clark; and a reverse acquisition in which Clark is the surviving entity.

Repurchases.    Unless otherwise provided in the grant of an award, the compensation committee may, in the event of corporate transaction which has been approved by our board of directors, require a holder of any award granted under the plan to relinquish the award to us upon payment by us to the holder of cash in an amount equal to the fair market value of the award or $0.01 per share for awards that are out-of-the money.

Award Limitation.    No participant may be granted awards for more than shares in any calendar year.

Withholding Taxes

Upon the exercise of any award granted under the plan, the holder may be required to remit to us an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to delivery of any certificate or certificates for shares of common stock.

Term and Amendments

Unless terminated by the board, the plan shall continue to remain effective until no further awards may be granted and all awards granted under the plan are no longer outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, grants of incentive stock options may be made only until ten years from the date of the consummation of the acquisition. The board may at any time, and from time to time, amend the plan, provided that no amendment will be made that would impair the rights of a holder under any agreement entered into pursuant to the plan without the holder’s consent.

Federal income tax consequences

The following discussion of the federal income tax consequences of participation in the plan is only a summary of the general rules applicable to the grant and exercise of stock options and other awards and does not give specific details or cover, among other things, state, local and foreign tax treatment of participation in the plan. The information contained in this section is based on present law and regulations, which are subject to being changed prospectively or retroactively.

Incentive stock options.    Participants will recognize no taxable income upon the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option. The participant generally will realize no taxable income when the incentive stock option is exercised. The excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise of an incentive stock option over the exercise price will be treated as an item of adjustment for a participant’s taxable year in which the exercise occurs and may result in an alternative minimum tax liability for the participant. We will not qualify for any deduction in connection with the grant or exercise of incentive stock options. Upon a disposition of the shares after the later of two years from the date of grant or one year after the transfer of the shares to a participant, the participant will recognize the difference, if any, between the amount realized and the exercise price as long term capital gain or long term capital loss, as the case may be, if the shares are capital assets.

71




Table of Contents

If common stock acquired upon the exercise of an incentive stock option is disposed of prior to the expiration of the holding periods described above, the participant will recognize ordinary compensation income in the taxable year of disposition in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price paid for the shares; and we will qualify for a deduction equal to any amount recognized, subject to the limitation that the compensation be reasonable.

Non-Incentive stock options.    With respect to non-incentive stock options:

  upon grant of the stock option, the participant will recognize no income provided that the exercise price was not less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant;
  upon exercise of the stock option, if the shares of common stock are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the participant will recognize ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price, and we will qualify for a deduction in the same amount, subject to the requirement that the compensation be reasonable; and
  we will be required to comply with applicable federal income tax withholding requirements with respect to the amount of ordinary compensation income recognized by the participant.

On a disposition of the shares, the participant will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the sum of the exercise price and the ordinary compensation income recognized. The gain or loss will be treated as capital gain or loss if the shares are capital assets and as short-term or long term capital gain or loss, depending upon the length of time that the participant held the shares.

If the shares acquired upon exercise of a non-incentive stock option are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the participant will recognize ordinary income at the time when the substantial risk of forfeiture is removed, unless the participant timely files under Section 83(b) of the Code to elect to be taxed on the receipt of shares, and we will qualify for a corresponding deduction at that time. The amount of ordinary income will be equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time the income is recognized over the amount, if any, paid for the shares.

Stock appreciation rights.    Upon the grant of a stock appreciation right, the participant recognizes no taxable income and we receive no deduction. The participant recognizes ordinary income and we receive a deduction at the time of exercise equal to the cash and fair market value of common stock payable upon the exercise.

Restricted stock.    A participant who receives restricted stock will recognize no income on the grant of the restricted stock and we will not qualify for any deduction. At the time the restricted stock is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, a participant will recognize ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the restricted stock at the time the restriction lapses over the consideration paid for the restricted stock. A participant’s shares are treated as being subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture so long as his or her sale of the shares at a profit could subject him or her to a suit under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. The holding period to determine whether the participant has long term or short-term capital gain or loss begins when the restriction period expires, and the tax basis for the shares will generally be the fair market value of the shares on this date.

A participant may elect under Section 83(b) of the Code, within 30 days of the transfer of the restricted stock, to recognize ordinary compensation income on the date of transfer in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value on the date of transfer of the shares of restricted stock, as determined without regard to the restrictions, over the consideration paid for the restricted stock. If a participant makes an election and thereafter forfeits the shares, no ordinary loss deduction will be allowed. The forfeiture will be treated as a sale or exchange upon which there is realized loss equal to the excess, if any, of the consideration paid for the shares over the amount realized on such forfeiture. The loss will be a capital loss if the shares are capital assets. If a participant makes an

72




Table of Contents

election under Section 83(b), the holding period will commence on the day after the date of transfer and the tax basis will equal the fair market value of shares, as determined without regard to the restrictions, on the date of transfer.

On a disposition of the shares, a participant will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the tax basis for the shares.

Whether or not the participant makes an election under Section 83(b), we generally will qualify for a deduction, subject to the reasonableness of compensation limitation, equal to the amount that is taxable as ordinary income to the participant, in the taxable year in which the income is included in the participant’s gross income. The income recognized by the participant will be subject to applicable withholding tax requirements.

Dividends paid on restricted stock that is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture generally will be treated as compensation that is taxable as ordinary compensation income to the participant and will be deductible by us subject to the reasonableness limitation. If, however, the participant makes a Section 83(b) election, the dividends will be treated as dividends and taxable as ordinary income to the participant, but will not be deductible by us.

Deferred stock.    A participant who receives an award of deferred stock will recognize no income on the grant of the award. However, he or she will recognize ordinary compensation income on the transfer of the deferred stock, or the later lapse of a substantial risk of forfeiture to which the deferred stock is subject, if the participant does not make a Section 83(b) election, in accordance with the same rules as discussed above under the caption ‘‘Restricted stock.’’

Other stock-based awards.    The federal income tax treatment of other stock-based awards will depend on the nature and restrictions applicable to the award.

Section 162(m) Limits. Section 162(m) of the Code places a limit of $1,000,000 on the amount of compensation that Clark may deduct in any one year with respect to each of our five most highly paid executive officers. Certain performance-based compensation approved by stockholders is not subject to the deduction limit. The plan is qualified such that awards under the plan may constitute performance-based compensation not subject to Section 162(m) of the Code. One of the requirements for equity compensation plans is that there must be a limit to the number of shares granted to any one individual under the plan. Accordingly, the 2006 Plan provides that the maximum number of shares for which awards may be made to any employee in any calendar year, is, except that in connection with his or her initial service, an awardee may be granted awards covering up to an additional shares. The maximum amount payable pursuant to that portion of a cash award granted under the plan for any fiscal year to any employee that is intended to satisfy the requirements for ‘‘performance-based compensation’’ under Section 162(m) of the Code may not exceed $500,000. Under the plan, the Committee has the power to impose restrictions on awards to ensure that such awards satisfy the requirements for performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.

Certain Awards Deferring or Accelerating the Receipt of Compensation.    Section 409A of the Code, enacted as part of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, imposes certain new requirements applicable to ‘‘nonqualified deferred compensation plans.’’ If a nonqualified deferred compensation plan subject to Section 409A fails to meet, or is not operated in accordance with, these new requirements, then all compensation deferred under the plan may become immediately taxable. Stock appreciation rights and deferred stock awards that may be granted under the plan may constitute deferred compensation subject to the Section 409A requirements. It is our intention that any award agreement governing awards subject to Section 409A will comply with these rules.

Recommendation and Vote Required

Approval of our equity incentive plan will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS VOTE ‘‘FOR’’ THE APPROVAL OF THE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN PROPOSAL.

THE DIRECTOR ELECTION PROPOSAL

Election of Directors

GLAC’s board of directors is divided into three classes, each of which serves for a term of three years, with only one class of directors being elected in each year. The nominees have been nominated as candidates for election as follows:

in the class to stand for reelection in 2009: James J. Martell (Chairman) and Gregory E. Burns;

in the class to stand for reelection in 2010: Donald G. McInnes, Edward W. Cook and                                         ; and

in the class to stand for reelection in 2011: Maurice Levy and Timothy Teagan.

The election of directors requires a plurality vote of the share of common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the special meeting. ‘‘Plurality’’ means that the individuals who receive the largest number of votes cast ‘‘FOR’’ are elected as directors. Consequently, any shares not voted ‘‘FOR’’ a particular nominee (whether as a result of abstentions, a direction to withhold authority or a broker non-vote) will not be counted in the nominee’s favor.

Unless authority is withheld, the proxies solicited by the board of directors will be voted ‘‘FOR’’ the election of these nominees. In case any of the nominees becomes unavailable for election to the board of directors, an event that is not anticipated, the persons named as proxies, or their substitutes, will have full discretion and authority to vote or refrain from voting for any other candidate in accordance with their judgment.

If the acquisition proposal is not approved, the director election proposal will not be submitted to the stockholders for a vote and GLAC’s current directors will continue in office until GLAC is liquidated.

At the effective time of the Clark acquisition and assuming the election of the individuals set forth above, the board of directors and executive officers of GLAC will be as follows:

Gregory E. Burns 38 Director

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors of GLAC

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, GLAC’s board of directors held 10 meetings. It has standing nominations and audit committees. Although GLAC does not have any formal policy regarding director attendance at annual stockholder meetings, GLAC will attempt to schedule its annual meetings so that all of its directors can attend. GLAC expects its directors to attend all board and any committee meetings and to spend the time needed and meet as frequently as necessary to properly discharge their responsibilities. Each of GLAC’s current directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the board and of each committee of which he was a member held in 2006.

Independence of Directors

As a result of its securities being listed on the American Stock Exchange, GLAC adheres to the rules of that exchange in determining whether a director is independent. The board of directors of GLAC also will consult with our counsel to ensure that the board’s determinations are consistent with those rules and all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the independence of directors. The American Stock Exchange listing standards define an ‘‘independent director’’ generally as a person, other than an officer of a company, who does not have a relationship with the company that would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment. The exchange requires that a majority of the board of directors of a company be independent, as determined by the board. Consistent with these considerations, the board of directors of GLAC has affirmatively determined that, upon election to the board of directors of GLAC on the closing of the acquisition, Messrs. Cook, McInnes, Levy, and                  will be the independent directors of GLAC for the ensuing year.

GLAC currently has a majority of independent directors.

The nominations committee evaluates each individual in the context of the board as a whole, with the objective of recommending a group of persons that can best implement our business plan, perpetuate our business and represent shareholder interests. The nominations committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time. The nominations committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by shareholders and other persons.

Compensation of Officers and Directors

No executive officer of GLAC has received any cash or non-cash compensation for services rendered to GLAC. Each executive officer has agreed not to take any compensation prior to the consummation of a business combination.

Through the closing of the acquisition, GLAC has and will continue pay Blue Line Advisors, Inc., an affiliate of Gregory E. Burns, a fee of $7,500 per month fee for providing GLAC with office space and certain office and secretarial services. This arrangement is solely for our benefit and is not intended to provide Mr. Burns compensation in lieu of a salary.

Other than the $7,500 per-month fee, no compensation of any kind, including finders and consulting fees, have been or will be paid to any of GLAC’s officers or their affiliates. However, GLAC’s executive officers are reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on GLAC’s behalf such as identifying potential target business and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. As of June 20, 2007, an aggregate of approximately $13,000 has been reimbursed to them for such expenses. There is no limit on the amount of these out-of-pocket expenses and there will be no review of the reasonableness of the expenses by anyone other than our board of directors, which includes persons who may seek reimbursement, or a court of competent jurisdiction if such reimbursement is challenged. Because of the foregoing, we generally do not have the benefit of independent directors examining the propriety of expenses incurred on our behalf and subject to reimbursement.

GLAC’s directors do not currently receive any cash compensation for their service as members of the board of directors. Upon consummation of the acquisition, GLAC’s non-employee directors will each receive an annual cash fee of $20,000, an additional $1,000 fee for each board and committee meeting that they attend in person or by telephonic participation ($500 for each meeting attended by

telephonic participation if the duration of such meeting is less than one hour). In addition, the chair of our audit committee will receive an additional $7,000 for the chair’s service and the chairs of our compensation nominating committees will each receive an additional $5,000 for the chair’s services. All cash payments to directors will be made quarterly in arrears. GLAC’s non-employee directors will also receive options to acquire 10,000 shares of GLAC common stock to be granted upon consummation of the acquisition (or for those subsequently elected or appointed, the first business day following election or appointment), which will vest semi-annually over three years. In addition, each such then current non-employee director will receive a grant of options to acquire 20,000 shares of GLAC common stock on the first business day following each annual meeting of stockholders at which he or she is re-elected to the board, which will also vest semi-annually over three years. The per share exercise price of these options will be equal to the market price of GLAC’s common stock on the date of grant.

Employment Agreements

The employment agreement with Timothy Teagan provides for him to be employed as president and chief executive officer of Clark, at a base annual salary of $283,109, with a further automobile allowance of $9,330. It also provides for him to be eligible to receive an annual bonus according to the plan described below and for him to receive annual equity incentives up to 40% of his base salary as determined by the compensation committee based on the achievement of individual objectives and corporate benchmarks. Furthermore, upon the completion of audited 2007 financial results, Mr. Teagan will receive an initial grant of 10-year options to purchase 56,250 shares of GLAC common stock exercisable at then fair-market value. The options shall vest in increments of one third at each anniversary of the grant date.

The employment agreement with John Barry provides for him to be employed as president and chief operating officer of Clark Worldwide Transportation, Inc., at a base annual salary of $212,330, also with a further automobile allowance of $9,330. Like Mr. Teagan’s agreement, Mr. Barry’s agreement also provides for him to be eligible to receive an annual bonus according to the plan described below and for him to receive annual equity incentives up to 40% of his base salary as determined by the compensation committee based on the achievement of individual objectives and corporate benchmarks. Furthermore, upon the completion of audited 2007 financial results, Mr. Barry will receive an initial grant of 10-year options to purchase 42,000 shares of GLAC common stock exercisable at then fair-market value. The options shall vest in increments of one third at each anniversary of the grant date.

Executive bonuses will be paid from an executive bonus pool that consists of 8% of earnings before interest and taxes and before executive bonuses. Each executive will be assigned a pre-determined share of the pool. However, 25% of each executive’s share will be distributed only to the extent the executive has achieved pre-determined objectives as communicated by the compensation committee.

The employment agreements also obligate Clark to maintain certain benefits already received by the executives, including life and disability insurance, health care insurance, dental insurance, prescription coverage, short term disability insurance, vacation and illness benefits and long term disability coverage, in accordance with existing practices. The executives shall be entitled to reimbursement for documented and reasonable business expenses incurred in connection with the performance of their duties and to participate in any group insurance, hospitalization, medical, dental, health and disability benefit plans sponsored by Clark to the extent the executive is eligible therefor. Clark may in its discretion establish senior management benefit programs as well.

The term of each employment agreement is three years from the date of the closing, unless earlier terminated as follows. Mr. Teagan or Mr. Barry may be terminated at any time for ‘‘cause’’ (as defined in the agreements), in which event Clark shall pay accrued salary and vacation through the termination date, but will pay no severance of any kind. Mr. Teagan or Mr. Barry may voluntarily terminate their agreements upon 180 days notice, in which event Clark shall pay accrued salary through the termination date, but, again, will pay no severance of any kind. In addition, Mr. Teagan or

81




Table of Contents

Mr. Barry may be terminated without cause upon 30 days written notice or may voluntarily terminate their agreements upon the occurrence of certain ‘‘fundamental changes’’ (as defined in the agreements); in either event Clark will pay accrued salary through the termination date, will pay severance for twelve months or through the term of the agreement, whichever is longer, and will pay bonuses on a pro rata basis.

During the term of their agreements and for two years thereafter, each of Messrs. Teagan and Barry covenant not to interfere with Clark’s business by directly or indirectly soliciting, attempting to solicit, inducing, or otherwise causing any employees to terminate his or her employment with Clark in order to become an employee, consultant or independent contractor to any other employer. During the term of their agreements and for either one or two years thereafter (as defined in the agreements), each of Messrs. Teagan and Barry covenant to not, in the United States or Canada, either directly or indirectly, without the written consent of Clark, engage in any activity in which Clark is engaged prior to or at the time of, as applicable, the termination of the executive’s employment with Clark.

In addition, Messrs. Teagan and Barry have agreed to maintain the confidentiality of GLAC’s ‘‘Confidential Information’’ (as defined in separate confidentiality agreements).

OTHER INFORMATION RELATED TO GLAC

Business of GLAC

GLAC was formed on September 1, 2005, to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of one or more operating businesses in the transportation and logistics sector and related industries through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination. Prior to executing the purchase agreement with Clark, GLAC’s efforts were limited to organizational activities, completion of its IPO and the evaluation of possible business combinations.

Offering Proceeds Held in Trust

GLAC consummated its IPO on February 21, 2006. The net proceeds of the offering, including proceeds from the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, and after payment of underwriting discounts and expenses were approximately $80,997,000. Of that amount, $79,340,000 was placed in the trust account and invested in government securities. The remaining proceeds have been used by GLAC in its pursuit of a business combination. The trust account will not be released until the earlier of the consummation of a business combination or the liquidation of GLAC. The trust account contained approximately $                 as of                      , 2007, the record date. If the acquisition with Clark is consummated, the trust account will be released to GLAC, less the amounts paid to holders of Public Shares who vote against the acquisition and elect to convert their shares of common stock into their pro-rata share of the trust account.

The holders of Public Shares will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only in the event of GLAC’s liquidation or if the stockholders seek to convert their respective shares into cash and the acquisition is actually completed. In no other circumstances shall a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account.

Fair Market Value of Target Business

Pursuant to the underwriting agreement for GLAC’s IPO, the initial target business that GLAC acquires must have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the trust account at the time of such acquisition. GLAC’s board of directors determined that this test was met in connection with its acquisition of Clark. Further, GLAC has received an opinion from Capitalink that this test has been met.

Stockholder Approval of Business Combination

GLAC will proceed with the acquisition of Clark only if the holders of a majority of the Public Shares voted on the acquisition proposal at the special meeting is voted in favor of the acquisition proposal. The GLAC Inside Stockholders have agreed to vote their common stock issued prior to the IPO on the acquisition proposal in accordance with the vote of holders of a majority of the Public Shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the special meeting. If the holders of 20% or more of the Public Shares vote against the acquisition proposal and properly demand that GLAC convert their Public Shares into their pro rata share of the trust account, then GLAC will not consummate the acquisition. In this case, GLAC will be forced to liquidate unless it is able to consummate a business combination with another party no later than February 21, 2008.

Liquidation If No Business Combination

GLAC’s certificate of incorporation provides for mandatory liquidation of GLAC if GLAC does not consummate a business combination within 18 months from the date of consummation of its IPO, or 24 months from the consummation of the IPO if certain extension criteria have been satisfied. Such dates are August 21, 2007 and February 21, 2008, respectively. GLAC signed a letter of intent with Clark on April 13, 2007 and signed a definitive purchase agreement with Clark on May 18, 2007. As a result of having signed the letter of intent, GLAC satisfied the extension criteria and now has until February 21, 2008 to complete the acquisition.

83




Table of Contents

If GLAC does not complete the acquisition by February 21, 2008, GLAC will be dissolved pursuant to Section 275 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In connection with such dissolution, the expected procedures of which are set forth below, GLAC will distribute to all of its public stockholders, in proportion to their respective equity interests, an aggregate sum equal to the amount in the trust account, inclusive of any interest net of taxes, plus remaining assets. GLAC’s stockholders who obtained their GLAC stock prior to GLAC’s IPO have waived their rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to shares of common stock owned by them immediately prior to the IPO. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to GLAC’s warrants.

We anticipate that, if we are unable to complete the business combination with Clark, the following will occur:

  our board of directors will convene and adopt a specific plan of dissolution and liquidation, which it will then vote to recommend to our stockholders; at such time it will also cause to be prepared a preliminary proxy statement setting out such plan of dissolution and liquidation as well as the board’s recommendation of such plan;
  we will promptly file our preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission;
  if the Securities and Exchange Commission does not review the preliminary proxy statement, then, 10 days following the filing of such preliminary proxy statement, we will mail the definitive proxy statement to our stockholders, and 10-20 days following the mailing of such definitive proxy statement, we will convene a meeting of our stockholders, at which they will vote on our plan of dissolution and liquidation; and
  if the Securities and Exchange Commission does review the preliminary proxy statement, we currently estimate that we will receive their comments 30 days after the filing of such proxy statement. We would then mail the definitive proxy statement to our stockholders following the conclusion of the comment and review process (the length of which we cannot predict with any certainty, and which may be substantial) and we will convene a meeting of our stockholders at which they will vote on our plan of dissolution and liquidation.

We expect that a significant part or all of the costs associated with the implementation and completion of our plan of dissolution and liquidation will be funded by our management, who will advance us the funds necessary to complete such dissolution and liquidation (currently anticipated to be no more than approximately $50,000) and not seek reimbursement thereof.

We will not liquidate the trust account unless and until our stockholders approve our plan of dissolution and liquidation. Accordingly, the foregoing procedures may result in substantial delays in our liquidation and the distribution to our public stockholders of the funds in our trust account and any remaining net assets as part of our plan of dissolution and liquidation.

GLAC expects to have expended all of the net proceeds of the IPO, other than the proceeds deposited in the trust account. Accordingly, the per-share liquidation price as of                  , 2007, the record date, is approximately $        , or $         less than the per-unit offering price of $8.00 in GLAC’s IPO. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however, become subject to the claims of GLAC’s creditors and there is no assurance that the actual per-share liquidation price will not be less than $                , due to those claims. If GLAC liquidates prior to the consummation of a business combination, James Martell, our chairman, and Gregory Burns, our president and chief executive officer and a director, will be personally liable to pay debts and obligations to vendors and other entities that are owed money by GLAC for services rendered or products sold to GLAC, or to any target business, to the extent such creditors bring claims that would otherwise require payment from moneys in the trust account. There is no assurance, however, that they would be able to satisfy those obligations. We cannot assure you that the per-share distribution from the trust fund, if we liquidate, will not be less than $        , plus interest, due to claims of creditors.

Additionally, if we are forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable

84




Table of Contents

bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our stockholders. Also, in any such case, any distributions received by stockholders in our dissolution might be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a ‘‘preferential transfer’’ or a ‘‘fraudulent conveyance.’’ As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by our stockholders in our dissolution. Furthermore, because we intend to distribute the proceeds held in the trust account to our public stockholders as soon as possible after our dissolution, this may be viewed or interpreted as giving preference to our public stockholders over any potential creditors with respect to access to or distributions from our assets. In addition, our board of directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and our company to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors and/or complying with certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law with respect to our dissolution and liquidation. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.

To the extent any bankruptcy or other claims deplete the trust account, we cannot assure you we will be able to return to our public stockholders at least $         per share.

Under Sections 280 through 282 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. Pursuant to Section 280, if the corporation complies with certain procedures intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of a stockholder with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. Although we will seek stockholder approval to liquidate the trust account to our public stockholders as part of our plan of dissolution and liquidation, we will seek to conclude this process as soon as possible and as a result do not intend to comply with those procedures. Because we will not be complying with the foregoing provisions, Section 281(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law requires us to adopt a plan that will provide for our payment, based on facts known to us at such time, of (i) all existing claims, (ii) all pending claims and (iii) all claims that may be potentially brought against us within the subsequent 10 years. However, because we are a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and our operations have been limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from our vendors and service providers to whom we owe money and potential target businesses, all of whom we’ve received agreements waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the trust account. As a result, the claims that could be made against us will be significantly limited and the likelihood that any claim would result in any liability extending to the trust is remote. Nevertheless, such agreements may or may not be enforceable. Because we will not be complying with those procedures, we are required, pursuant to Section 281 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, to adopt a plan that will provide for our payment, based on facts known to us at such time, of (i) all existing claims, (ii) all pending claims and (iii) all claims that may be potentially brought against us within the subsequent 10 years. Accordingly, we would be required to provide for any creditors known to us at that time or those that we believe could be potentially brought against us within the subsequent 10 years prior to distributing the funds held in the trust to stockholders. We cannot assure you that we will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us. As such, our stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution (but no more) and any liability of our stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of such dissolution. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that third parties will not seek to recover from our stockholders amounts owed to them by us.

Facilities

GLAC maintains executive offices at 330 Madison Avenue, 6th Floor, New York, New York. The cost for this space is included in a $7,500 per-month fee that Blue Line Advisors, Inc., an affiliate of Gregory E. Burns, our president, chief executive officer and a member of our board of directors, charges GLAC for general and administrative services. Through May 31, 2007, an aggregate of approximately $115,000 has been incurred for such services. GLAC believes, based on rents and fees for similar services in the New York City area, that the fees charged by Blue Line Advisors, Inc. are at least as favorable as GLAC could have obtained from an unaffiliated person. GLAC considers its current office space adequate for current operations. Upon consummation of the acquisition, the principal executive offices of GLAC will be located at 121 New York Avenue, Trenton, New Jersey 08638.

Employees

GLAC has three executive officers and five directors (of whom two are also executive officers). These individuals are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week and devote only as much time as they deem necessary to our affairs. GLAC does not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of the acquisition.

Periodic Reporting and Audited Financial Statements

GLAC has registered its securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and has reporting obligations, including the requirement to file annual and quarterly reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, GLAC’s annual reports contain financial statements audited and reported on by GLAC’s independent accountants. GLAC has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission its Annual Report on Form 10-K covering the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q covering the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

Legal Proceedings

There are no legal proceedings pending against GLAC.

GLAC’s Plan of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with GLAC’s financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

GLAC is a blank check company formed on September 1, 2005 to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating business in the transportation and logistics sector and related industries. We intend to utilize a combination of cash derived from the proceeds of our public offering and our capital stock in effecting the Clark business combination.

GLAC MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations — First Quarter 2007

For the three months ended March 31, 2007, we earned $1,043,373 in interest income. All of our funds in the Trust Account are invested in one or more money market funds which invest principally in short-term securities issued or guaranteed by the United States having a rating in the highest investment category granted thereby by a recognized rating agency at the time of acquisition. The Trust Account has a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days or less.

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007, the three months ended March 31, 2006, and the period from September 1, 2005 (Date of Inception) through March 31, 2007 were $313,800, $160,377, and $1,246,113 respectively. These costs were principally composed of legal, accounting expenses, and administrative costs related to due diligence in seeking acquisition candidates and SEC filings.

  $66,000 for Delaware franchise taxes;
  $175,500 of expenses for due diligence and investigation of prospective target businesses;
  $47,000 of expenses in legal, accounting and filing fees relating to our SEC reporting obligations, general corporate matters, and miscellaneous expenses; and
  $22,500 to Blue Line Advisors, Inc. for office space and administrative support under terms of an administrative support agreement.

Results of Operations — Fiscal Year 2006

For the year ended December 31, 2006, we earned approximately $3,440,580 in interest income. All of our funds in the Trust Account are invested in one or more money market funds which invest principally in short-term securities issued or guaranteed by the United States having a rating in the highest investment category granted thereby by a recognized rating agency at the time of acquisition.

  $85,000 to Blue Line Advisors, Inc. for office space and administrative support under terms of an administrative support agreement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Through December 31, 2006, our efforts had been limited to organizational activities, activities relating to the initial public offering, activities relating to identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, and activities relating to general corporate matters; we had not generated any revenues, other than interest income earned on the proceeds of the initial public offering. As of December 31, 2006, $86,342,513 was held in the Trust Account (including $2,640,000 of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions) and we had cash outside of trust of $967,672 and $284,190 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, leaving us with $683,482 available to us for our activities in connection with identifying and conducting due diligence of a suitable business combination, and for general corporate matters.

Through March 31, 2007, our efforts remained limited to organizational activities, activities relating to the Offering, activities relating to identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, and activities relating to general corporate matters; we did not generated any revenues,

87




Table of Contents

other than interest income earned on the proceeds of the initial public offering. As of March 31, 2007, approximately $87,200,647 was held in the Trust Account (including $2,640,000 of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions) and we had approximately $656,734 of our offering proceeds not held in trust remaining and available to us for our activities in connection with identifying and conducting due diligence of a suitable business combination, and for general corporate matters.

As at March 31, 2007 the Company had $271,931 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, leaving us with $384,803 available to us for our activities in connection with identifying and conducting due diligence of a suitable business combination and pursuing the business combination with Clark, and for general corporate matters. The Company has incurred and expects to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. There is no assurance that the Company’ plans to consummate a business combination with Clark will be successful or successful within the target business acquisition period. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue operations as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On May 18, 2007, GLAC signed the purchase agreement to acquire all the outstanding capital stock of The Clark Group, a leading provider of mission-critical supply chain solutions to the print media industry. The purchase price is approximately $75,000,000 (of which $72,527,472.53 will be paid in cash and $2,472,527.47 will be paid by the issuance of 320,276 shares of GLAC common stock valued at $7.72 per share). The purchase price is subject to dollar-for-dollar increase or decrease to the extent that Clark’s working capital at the time of closing is greater (less negative) or less (more negative) than a working capital deficit of $1,588,462. The purchase price is also subject to decrease if the average of the working capital on the last day of the month for the twelve months ending March 31, 2008 is higher (less negative) than that amount. For such purposes, Clark’s working capital is defined a the sum of (A) current assets excluding cash plus (B) $616,438 representing 3-day check float minus (C) current liabilities minus (D) the aggregate amount of checks outstanding at the closing date that were issued in payment of accounts payable. The working capital will be determined in a manner consistent with that used by Clark prior to the date of execution of the purchase agreement.

We will use approximately $76,200,000 of the net proceeds in our trust account to consummate the Clark acquisition, including transaction expenses and payments with respect to the conversion of Public Shares. The balance of the proceeds held in the trust account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used to finance the operations of Clark’s business. If conversions into cash of our Public Shares exceed $13 million (    % of the Public Shares), we will be required to obtain additional financing in order to fund the excess, which could be as much as $     million (above the $13 million) if the permitted maximum number of Public Shares are converted. Such additional financing would be in the form of bank or other lender loans. GLAC has had preliminary conversations with potential lenders, and, should the need to raise such funds arise for the purpose of funding conversions, GLAC believes that it will be able to obtain financing, although there can be no assurance that it will be the case, on commercially reasonable terms that will be at market for similar types debt.

We have used the net proceeds of our initial public offering not held in trust to identify and evaluate prospective acquisition candidates, select our target business, and structure, negotiate and consummate our business combination. At March 31, 2007, we had cash outside of the trust account of $656,734, prepaid expenses of $52,700, current liabilities of $271,931 (excluding tax accruals) and deferred acquisition costs of $0. James Martell, our chairman, and Gregory Burns, our president and chief executive officer and a director, have agreed that, if we are unable to complete the business combination with Clark and are forced to liquidate, they will be personally liable to pay debts and obligations to vendors or other entities that are owed money by us for services rendered or products sold to us, or to any target business, to the extent they have successful claims against the funds in our trust account.

We have agreed to pay Blue Line Advisors, Inc., a private company wholly-owned and controlled by our chief executive officer and president, Gregory Burns, approximately $7,500 per month for office space and administrative support services.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Options and warrants issued in conjunction with our IPO are equity-linked derivatives and accordingly represent off-balance sheet arrangements. The options and warrants meet the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) 133 and are accordingly not accounted for as derivatives for purposes of FAS 133 but instead are accounted for as equity.

BUSINESS OF THE CLARK GROUP

Overview

Headquartered in Trenton, New Jersey, The Clark Group is a leading provider of mission-critical supply chain solutions to the print media industry. Domestically, Clark is the largest independent provider of domestic newsstand magazine distribution services in North America, offering value-added distribution, transportation management and consulting services. Internationally, Clark is the largest consolidator of U.S. magazines for export, and also offers other print media-related import/export services. In both domestic and international segments, Clark maintains no print media inventory and relies almost exclusively on third-party or leased assets for transportation (ground, air and ocean), thereby maximizing the variability of its expense structure, minimizing capital expenditures and providing high returns on capital.

For over 20 years, Clark has provided distribution services to the print media industry. Its customer base is highlighted by long-term relationships where Clark plays an integral role in customers’ media distribution chains. Clark’s top 10 customers for the fiscal year ended 2006 have an average tenure with the Company of 16 years and 9 of the top 10 have been a customer for at least five years. This customer base entrusts Clark with the distribution of over one billion magazines in domestic markets, and the exporting of over 80 million domestic magazines worldwide annually. In addition, Clark plays a key role in the launch of new magazine titles, which rely heavily on newsstand sales to establish a customer base.

History

Clark was founded in 1957 with the establishment of Clark Transfer, Inc., a transportation company of film, magazines and newspapers. Through organic growth and a series of acquisitions, Clark expanded its service platform and geographic presence throughout the 1960s – 1980s. Clark Distribution Systems, Inc. was formed in 1984 to provide national freight consolidation of books and magazines. J.E. Tompkins & Son, an international freight-forwarding firm, was acquired and subsequently merged with Caribbean Worldwide, Inc. to become Clark Worldwide Transportation, Inc.

The 1990s were a period of transition for Clark, as the Company acquired the operations of Magazine Shippers Association, a consolidator of printed matter in Connecticut and Illinois, and divested its theatrical and wholesale news agency transportation subsidiaries along with the Clark Transfer name. During this time, a new umbrella corporation, The Clark Group, Inc., was formed. Clark Distribution Systems, Clark Worldwide, Evergreen Express Lines, and Highway Distribution Systems now constitute the divisions of The Clark Group, Inc. with over 300 employees serving the global marketplace.

Industry

Logistics Industry Overview

According to the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals 17th Annual State of Logistics Report, total U.S. transportation and logistics costs in 2005 were $1.2 trillion. The total costs are broken down as follows: inventory carrying costs of $393 billion, transportation costs (which include truck, rail, air, water, pipeline and forwarder costs) of $744 billion, and logistics administration costs of $46 billion. The focus on more efficient supply chains and better use of technology has led to a reduction in the inventory carrying costs component of total logistics expenditures, causing total domestic logistics costs to decrease (as a percent of GDP) from 10.4% of GDP in 1995 to 9.5% in 2005. Conversely, transportation costs have grown at a much faster pace, increasing at a compound annual growth rate of 5.4% since 1995.

Key Trends in Third-Party Logistics

Clark competes in the third-party logistics segment of the U.S. logistics industry. Third-party logistics companies offer logistics services while minimizing the ownership of the underlying assets

used to support the logistics operations (e.g. trucks, planes, warehouses). Key drivers of demand for third-party logistics services include:

Growth of world trade.    Manufacturing efficiencies, fewer trade barriers and lower transportation costs have fueled increased component and finished product manufacturing to lower-cost regions of the world. This shift in manufacturing has caused supply chains to lengthen and become more complex for manufacturers and retailers. This increased complexity has therefore increased the demand for third-party logistics services.

Increased outsourcing.    Manufacturers and retailers are increasingly focusing on their core competencies and outsourcing non-core operations. While logistics is a mission-critical process for companies, it is typically non-core. By outsourcing logistics to third-party providers, companies can attain high levels of expertise, redeploy capital to core activities and transform fixed costs into variable costs, thus eliminating capacity and utilization issues

Demand for specialized, value-added services.    Companies are increasingly looking to their logistics providers to provide customized, value-added services, as opposed to a one-size-fits-all commoditized service. This requires the logistics providers to become intimately familiar with their customers supply chains and design a tailored solution to fit their needs.

Industry Fragmentation

The logistics market is highly fragmented, despite ongoing consolidation. The market is also bifurcated, driven by the demand for both large, global logistics providers and for regional/niche providers. While there are only a handful of companies that provide logistics services on a global scale, hundreds of regional and niche providers are in operation.

Key Strengths

Some of Clark’s most significant strengths are:

Leading provider of mission-critical supply chain solutions to the print media industry.    Clark’s broad portfolio of logistics solutions, extensive expertise with print media supply chains, nationwide presence and longstanding customer relationships have contributed to its position as a leading provider of third-party logistics services to the print media industry. Management believes that Clark is the largest independent provider of newsstand magazine distribution services in North America, with roughly 30% market share by volume, and the largest international freight forwarder of domestic magazine publications, with an approximate 75% market share. This leading market position creates ample opportunities for Clark to enhance its growth and profitability.

Broad portfolio of third-party logistics services.    Clark provides an extensive range of logistics services that include value-added distribution, transportation management, and international air and ocean freight forwarding. The Company believes its ability to provide a wide range of logistics solutions is a competitive advantage within the print media industry and provides Clark with additional growth platforms and significant cross-selling opportunities.

Enduring customer relationships.    Management believes that Clark has developed into a trusted service provider to the print media industry. Clark’s customer base is highlighted by long-term relationships where Clark plays an integral role in customers’ distribution chains. This role is much more than a traditional transportation company provides, and often includes specialized services such as time-definite deliveries, unlocking and securing customers’ warehouses and ‘‘on the dock’’ freight movements. These value-added services have ingrained Clark in its customers’ distribution chains and created a high level of customer loyalty. Clark’s top 10 customers for 2006 have an average tenure with the Company of 16 years and 9 of the top 10 have been a customer for at least five years.

Non-asset based business model.    As a non-asset based company, essentially all of Clark’s transportation moves are completed with third-party or leased assets. Without substantial ownership of assets, the Company enjoys a highly variable cost structure where a vast majority of its expenses fluctuate with business volumes. Benefits of this model include minimal maintenance capital

expenditures, consistent cash flow and high financial returns. This structure also provides the necessary level of financial and operational flexibility to quickly adapt to changing market conditions and capitalize on growth opportunities.

Highly visible and consistent revenue stream.    The print media industry is a relatively stable component of the U.S. economy, resulting in consistent demand for Clark’s services. The newsstand distribution channel, in which Clark plays a critical role, is vital to the publishing industry in driving subscriptions and launching new titles. Clark’s loyal customer base and the predictability of its customers’ freight patterns provide ample visibility into future operational and financial performances. The visibility also plays an important role in management’s planning efforts, including employee/asset deployment, capital expenditures and growth initiatives.

Experienced management team.    With approximately 200 years of combined experience at the Company, Clark’s ten senior managers make up one of the industry’s most established and experienced management teams. This experience has played a critical role in Clark’s ability to maintain long-term customer relationships and become ingrained in customers’ distribution chains. Clark’s management team forms a strong foundation for Clark to continue on the path of profitable growth and industry-leading customer service.

Growth Strategy

The Company seeks to strengthen its position as a leading provider of logistics services through the following strategies:

Geographic expansion of its specialized transportation platform.    Despite being a meaningful player in the specialized ground-based transportation market, the geographic footprint of Highway Distribution Systems, Clark’s specialized transportation subsidiary, is concentrated in the eastern half of the U.S. By utilizing Clark’s leading market position, loyal customer base and industry expertise, management believes it could profitably expand into several markets in the South-Central and Southwestern U.S. with minimal upfront costs. Management has identified several markets it could profitably enter in a relatively short time frame. Additionally, these expansion efforts could enhance operating efficiencies in its current service area and create more purchasing power.

Cultivating its customer base.    The Company believes that it is well positioned to capitalize on new business with its existing customers as a result of its extensive experience and enduring relationships. Cross-selling opportunities are plentiful and will only improve as the Company expands its services offerings and geographic footprint. Additionally, with a renewed focus on growth accompanying the ownership change, Clark has the potential to substantially expand its customer base, most notably with large printers and publishers currently doing minimal business with Clark.

Increasing import/export business.    With approximately 75% market share in the exportation of domestic magazines and an established presence in numerous markets, Clark has a solid foundation to expand its import/export business. Domestically, Clark’s customer relationships and distribution model favorably lends itself to growth within the book export business, a market that Clark currently only has roughly 7% market share. Clark also has the opportunity to leverage its domestic market position and knowledge of the North American print media market to increase its import business out of Europe and Asia into the U.S.

Creating additional service offerings.    By leveraging Clark’s strong customer relationships and management’s detailed knowledge of the print media industry, the Company is in a position to capitalize on new service offering opportunities. Management believes that there is an opportunity to service additional products that originate from the docks of current customers. Examples of these types of products include magazines and catalogues for delivery to postal facilities nationwide and free standing newspaper advertising inserts.

Selectively acquire complementary businesses.    The third-party logistics industry is highly fragmented and ripe for consolidation. Management believes that acquisition targets exist that would complement Clark’s service offering, enhance its leading market position and diversify its customer base. In addition, acquisitions could offer significant cross-selling opportunities among the Company’s various divisions.

Operations

Clark conducts its domestic operations through its wholly-owned subsidiaries that operate under the names Clark Distribution Systems, Inc., Highway Distribution Systems, Inc. and Evergreen Express Lines, Inc., and its international operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary Clark Worldwide, Inc.

Domestic Distribution Services

Through its Clark Distribution Systems (CDS) subsidiary, Clark provides domestic newsstand magazine distribution services throughout North America. In any given week, CDS ensures the prompt and accurate delivery of over 35 million magazines from over 90 print locations to wholesalers across North America. With approximately 30% market share by volume, CDS is the largest provider of newsstand magazine distribution services in North America and is the only independent (not affiliated with a printer) provider of these services. The remaining market share is serviced by the in-house distribution divisions of printing companies.

CDS serves as a critical link between magazine printers/publishers and wholesalers, whose responsibilities include distributing magazines to retailers for public consumption. In this role, CDS is responsible for all aspects of distribution, including shipment pickup, consolidation and final delivery to wholesalers. CDS’ freight flow is similar to the ‘‘hub-and-spoke’’ networks utilized in the airline or less-than-truckload industries. Low density shipments will be directed to one of the Company’s three distribution centers (Laflin, PA, La Vergne, TN and Kansas City, MO) where they are consolidated and pooled with other shipments destined for the same wholesaler. High density shipments will bypass the distribution center and be delivered directly to the wholesaler.

Accounting for approximately 95% of all transportation moves, third-party transportation providers play an integral role in CDS’ operating model. With a third-party carrier base of over 170, CDS can ensure that its customers receive the appropriate balance between service levels and transportation cost that each circumstance requires. However, in the other 5% of transportation moves, CDS utilizes the services of its sister company, Highway Distribution Systems (HDS). Although CDS’ business model is heavily focused on the use of third-party assets, and theoretically could operate with 100% non-affiliated carriers, HDS plays an important role in CDS’ network. CDS utilizes HDS trucks in predictable, high density lanes, where service standards are very demanding.

Specialized, Ground-based Transportation Services

Through its Highway Distribution Systems and Evergreen Express Lines (collectively referred to as HDS) subsidiaries, Clark provides time-critical ground-based transportation services to the print media industry. Its services include the transportation of specialized media products such as magazines, mass market books, newspaper inserts, drop ship mail, and motion picture film. HDS’ network includes 49 company-leased trucks, 98 company-owned trailers, four terminals and relationships with over 50 third-party transportation providers. Approximately 65% of HDS’ transportation is hauled on its own equipment and the remaining 35% is hauled by third parties.

HDS’ core business is providing traditional ‘‘break-up’’ services for printers and publishers in regions surrounding its four terminals. The break-up service is similar to a regional LTL service, where freight is picked up from a customer, transported to one of the HDS terminals, pooled with other shipments headed in similar proximities and sent to final destinations. Through its terminals in York, PA, Kansas City, MO and Dallas, TX, HDS provides break-up services in selected lanes throughout New England and the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Rocky Mountain and South-Central regions of the U.S. HDS also operates a terminal in Amarillo, TX that provides a consolidation and transportation service for returns to suppliers.

To complement its break-up network, HDS also offers full truckload services throughout the United States. Most of these services are provided on a quasi-dedicated basis, in which HDS trucks regularly service the same business in the same lanes. This predictable and consistent business creates high density and profitability levels and is attractive work for drivers. Accordingly, HDS’ has a driver turnover rate of 20%, substantially better than the for-hire truckload average.

International Freight Forwarding

Through its Clark Worldwide Transportation (CWT) subsidiary, Clark offers consolidation and import/export logistics services to print media publishers, distributors and to their respective import partners worldwide. With an operating model similar to that of a traditional freight forwarder, CWT utilizes three distribution centers to consolidate shipments and arrange for international transportation utilizing third-party carriers (air, ocean or ground). With approximately 75% market share, CWT is the largest consolidator and forwarder of U.S. magazines for export and also has approximately 7% market share of the U.S. book export market. CWT’s geographic footprint encompasses the majority of the economically developed and English-speaking overseas markets.

Much like an international freight forwarder, CWT’s primary functions are the consolidation and coordination of international freight shipments. Consolidation activities take place at one of its three distribution centers strategically located near international freight gateways (Wayne, NJ, Wilmington, CA, and Laredo, TX). CWT relies on a group of 50 air, ocean and ground freight carriers for transportation, with approximately 75% of its shipments traveling via ocean carriers, 15% via air carriers and 10% via trucks to Mexico.

In a typical transaction, CWT is hired by an export distributor or directly by the publisher to facilitate the transportation of its product to a foreign distributor or wholesaler. The customer is responsible for transporting the shipment to a CWT distribution center. At the distribution center, CWT employees pool the customer’s shipments with other shipments headed to similar locations. Once load space has been maximized, CWT arranges for the international movement of the consolidated load. By utilizing the aggregate shipment pool of its entire customer base, CWT can achieve lower transportation rates and greater frequency of shipment than its customers could typically garner themselves.

Customers

Domestic Customers

Clark’s domestic operations have a customer base of approximately 700. Magazine printers, publishers, and general freight comprised 98% of 2006 revenue, with movie distribution accounting for 2%. General freight is typically only hauled in backhaul situations. The top 10 domestic customers accounted for 66% of 2006 revenue, which is representative of historical trends.

International Customers

Clark’s international operations have a customer base of approximately 400. Approximately 70% of its international revenue is generated from shipping magazines and 30% from the shipment of books. The top 10 international customers accounted for 33% of 2006 revenue, which is representative of recent trends. Over 40% of gross revenue is invoiced to U.S. magazine and book publishers, distributors and printers, and nearly 60% is invoiced to overseas magazine and book importers. On a revenue mode basis, approximately 40% of revenue is derived from ocean transportation, 39% from air transportation, 12% from truck transportation and 7% from ancillary services.

Competition

Domestic Competition

CDS is the only independent logistics provider of newsstand magazine distribution. The other providers of this service are the in-house distribution arms of major printers, such as R.R. Donnelley, Quad Graphics and Quebecor World. CDS enjoys strong working relationships with the printing community, many of which are large customers of the Company. Barriers of entry are high, primarily due to the relatively small size of the market, the importance of customer relationships, and the large level of critical mass necessary to operate profitably.

94




Table of Contents

As a niche provider of transportation services to media customers, HDS’ competitive landscape is relatively small and regionalized. In each of HDS’ service areas, there are a handful of specialized competitors, none with a material market share. On a smaller scale, HDS competes with traditional ground-based transportation providers, typically in backhaul lanes where it is transporting general freight.

International Competition

With approximately 75% market share, CWT is by far the largest player in the domestic magazine export market. It is also a major player in the export of domestic books, with roughly 7% market share. Its major competitors include a handful of other specialized book and magazine importers/exporters and, on a smaller scale, large freight forwarders of general goods.

Facilities

Clark’s corporate headquarters is located in Trenton, New Jersey and the building that serves as its corporate headquarters is the only facility Clark owns. The following is a list of the facilities in which Clark operates:

Equipment

Clark’s service offerings require the use of various types of equipment. The Company’s transportation service capacity is augmented by its network of third-party carriers, which permit less direct investment and greater operational flexibility. The following table presents leased and owned transportation equipment, as well as forklifts and pallet jacks used in the distribution centers.

Employees

As of March 15, 2007, Clark had 327 employees, with nine Executives, seven employees in IT Systems, five employees in Accounting/Finance, five employees in Sales, three employees in Human Resources, 15 employees in Operations Management, 46 employees in Operations, 52 employees in Clerical, 125 Warehouse Hourly employees, and 60 Drivers. Clark believes that its future success will depend in part on its continued ability to attract, hire and retain qualified personnel. None of its employees are represented by a labor union, and Clark believes that employee relations are good.

Insurance

Clark maintains insurance for general liability, property, auto liability, cargo loss and damage, workers’ compensation, and employment practices and liability. Clark believes that the types of coverage, deductibles, reserves and limits on liability that are currently in place are adequate.

Recent Developments

Founded in 2001, Clark Worldwide Limited, UK (CWT UK) is the Company’s UK-based print media distributor providing distribution services of newsstand magazines for UK-based printers and distributors. The freight volumes needed to generate desired profitability levels have not materialized within an acceptable timeframe. As a result, the Company is exploring strategic alternatives for CWT UK, which, among other outcomes, could result in either a joint venture relationship or the termination of its relationship with Clark. Management expects to resolve this matter by September 30, 2007. Clark’s stockholders have agreed to put $1,000,000 in escrow to provide a fund to reimburse Clark and GLAC for expenses incurred in connection with discontinuing the CWT UK operations.

Environmental

We, along with the third-party carriers that handle the physical transportation of our customers’ shipments, are subject to a variety of federal and state safety and environmental regulations. Historically, compliance with the regulations governing licensees in the areas in which we operate has not had a materially adverse effect on our operations or financial condition. However, there can be no assurance that such regulations or changes thereto will not adversely impact our operations going forward. Violation of these regulations could also subject us to fines as well as increased claims liability.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business and maintains liability insurance against certain risks arising out of the normal course of its business. The Company has accruals for certain legal exposures. In the opinion of management, the aggregate liability, if any, with respect to these actions will not materially adversely affect its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Government Regulation

Clark is subject to licensing and regulation as a transportation broker and freight forwarder and is licensed by the U.S. Department of Transportation (‘‘DOT’’) to arrange for the transportation of property by motor vehicle. The DOT prescribes qualifications for acting in this capacity, including certain surety bonding requirements. Under certain circumstances, one of Clark’s subsidiary companies provides motor carrier transportation services that require registration with the DOT and compliance with certain economic regulations administered by the DOT, including a requirement to maintain insurance coverage in minimum prescribed amounts. Clark is also subject to regulation by the Federal Maritime Commission as an ocean freight forwarder for which it maintains a separate bond and license. Clark operates as an indirect air cargo carrier subject to regulation by the DOT Federal Aviation Administration (F.A.A.) and by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Transport Security Administration (T.S.A.).

96




Table of Contents

Although Congress enacted legislation in 1994 that substantially preempts the authority of states to exercise economic regulation of motor carriers and brokers of freight, some shipments for which Clark arranges transportation may be subject to licensing, registration or permit requirements. Clark generally relies on the carrier transporting the shipment to ensure compliance with these types of requirements. Clark, along with the carriers that it relies on in arranging transportation services for its customers, is also subject to a variety of federal and state safety and environmental regulations. Although compliance with the regulations governing licensees in these areas has not had a materially adverse effect on its operations or financial condition in the past, there can be no assurance that such regulations or changes thereto will not adversely impact its operations in the future. Violation of these regulations could also subject Clark to fines as well as increased claims liability.

CLARK’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The information contained in this section has been derived from Clark’s consolidated financial statements and should be read together with Clark’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement. Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as ‘‘believes,’’ ‘‘expects,’’ ‘‘may,’’ ‘‘will,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘could,’’ ‘‘seek,’’ ‘‘intends,’’ ‘‘plans,’’ ‘‘estimates,’’ ‘‘anticipates’’ or other comparable terms. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties discussed in ‘‘Risk Factors’’ should be considered in evaluating Clark’s forward-looking statements. Clark has no plans to update its forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this proxy statement. We caution readers not to place undue reliance upon any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.

The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding assessment of significant changes and trends related to the results of operations and financial condition of Clark, together with its consolidated subsidiaries. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Clark’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included herein.

Critical Accounting Policies And Use Of Estimates

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Clark Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intra and inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company is a holding company with investments in operating entities, Clark Distribution Systems, Inc., Clark Worldwide Transportation Limited, Clark Worldwide Transportation, Inc., Highway Distribution Systems, Inc. and Evergreen Express Lines, Inc.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions. In certain circumstances, those estimates and assumptions can affect amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. In preparing our financial statements, we have made our best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. We do not believe there is a great likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported related to the accounting policies described below. However, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. Note 1 of the ‘‘Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements’’ includes a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. The following is a brief discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Revenue Recognition.    Gross revenues consist of the total dollar value of goods and services purchased from us by our customers. Gross profits are gross revenues less purchased transportation expense. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with method 5 of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 99-19, Revenue and Expense Recognition for Freight Services in Process. Accordingly, gross revenue and freight consolidation costs for domestic ground freight, international air and ocean freight forwarding services are recognized based upon the relative transit time in each reporting period with expense recognized as incurred.

Valuations For Accounts Receivable.    Accounts receivable are recorded at management’s estimate of net realizable value. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for uncollectible accounts on a customer specific basis.

Goodwill, Intangibles And Other Long-Lived Assets.    The Company accounts for goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, and SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

The Company measures for potential goodwill impairment using a discounted cash flow model to determine the estimated fair value of our reporting units. The discounted cash flow model contains

98




Table of Contents

significant assumptions and estimates about discount rates, future operating results and terminal values that could materially affect the Company’s operating results or financial position if they were to change significantly in the future. The Company performs its goodwill impairment test annually and whenever events or changes in facts or circumstances indicate that impairment may exist.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, when events, circumstances or operating results indicate that the carrying values of certain long-lived assets and related identifiable intangible assets (excluding goodwill) that are expected to be held and used might be impaired, the Company prepares projections of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the projections indicate that the recorded amounts are not expected to be recoverable, such amounts are reduced to estimated fair value. Fair value may be estimated based upon internal evaluations that include quantitative analysis of revenues and cash flows, reviews of recent sales of similar assets and independent appraisals.

Insurance Accruals.    The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance to provide for the liabilities for workers’ compensation, healthcare benefits, general liability, property insurance, and vehicle liability. Liabilities associated with the self-insured risks are not discounted and are estimated, in part, by considering historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors and other assumptions. The estimated accruals for these liabilities, portions of which are calculated by independent third party service providers, could be significantly affected if future occurrences and claims differ from these assumptions and historical trends.

Discontinued Operations.    With the execution of the Stock Purchase Agreement with Global Logistics Acquisition Corporation, on May 18, 2007, the Company committed to exiting the business conducted by its UK subsidiary. The Company considered the decision to exit the UK subsidiary operation as a Type 1 subsequent event and determined it would be appropriate to display the UK operating results of the 13 weeks ended March 31, 2007 separately from continuing operations, in accordance with SFAS 144. Additionally, as a result of the decision to exit the UK activities, the Company assessed the carrying value of the property and equipment of our UK subsidiary and determined that recording an impairment loss in the amount of $105,000 was appropriate. Such loss is included in loss from discontinued operations.

The Company has further determined that it is likely to incur additional expenses related to cessation of UK activities in the nature of severance pay and lease termination expense. In accordance with SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, the liabilities related to these costs will not be recorded until incurred.

In connection with the sale of stock to Global Logistics Acquisition Corporation, the sellers have agreed to reimburse the buyers for all the costs related to exiting and disposing of the UK activities.  

Income Taxes.    The Company has elected to file its Federal income tax return as an ‘‘S’’ Corporation. Any income or loss for federal income tax purposes is passed through to the shareholders. The Company has elected to file as a ‘‘C’’ corporation in certain states. The attendant state income tax expense is reflected on the income statement.

2006 Compared To 2005

Revenues.    Gross revenues for fiscal year 2006 were $80.3 million, a 4.7% increase from $76.7 million in 2005. Domestic gross revenues were $61.7 million, an increase of 6.9% as compared to the previous year. International gross revenues decreased 2.1% to $18.6 million in 2006 as compared to 2005. Increased domestic gross revenues resulted primarily from an increase in tonnage as we continued to increase business with existing customers, create additional customer relationships and grow our value-added services. International gross revenues decreased due to fluctuations in airline surcharges and the loss of an international retail book customer, partially offset by increased shipments from our US and UK-based publisher clients.

Gross profit for fiscal year 2006 was $29.8 million, a 0.9% decrease from $30.0 million in 2005. Domestic gross profit was $21.8 million, a 1.3% decrease from $22.0 million in 2005. International gross profit was flat from the year ago period at $8.0 million. Gross profit margin was 37.0% in 2006

99




Table of Contents

compared to 39.1% in 2005, which was solely the result of a decrease in domestic gross profit margin to 35.3% compared to 38.2% in 2005. The decline in domestic gross profit margin was the result of higher fuel surcharges and purchased transportation costs. International gross profit margin increased to 42.9% in 2006 from 42.0% in 2005.

Selling, Operating And Administrative Expenses

Selling, operating and administrative expense for the year ended December 30, 2006 increased 1.8% to $22.6 million as compared to $22.2 million in 2005. This increase was the result of a $0.4 million increase in personnel expense. As a percentage of gross profit, selling, operating and administrative expense increased to 76.0% compared to 74.0% in 2005.

Segmented SO&A Expenses.    Domestic SO&A expense in 2006 was $15.6 million, a $0.4 million increase over $15.2 million in 2005. This increase was primarily driven by additionally cost associated with the opening of two new distribution centers in Amarillo, TX and Dallas, TX and by an increase in executive staff. These increases were only partially mitigated by line labor cost reductions at existing distribution centers as productivity gains were realized. International SO&A was unchanged at $7.0 million.

Personnel Expense.    Personnel expense increased 3.1% to $14.9 million in 2006 from $14.4 million in 2005. As a percentage of gross profit, personnel expenses increased to 50.0 % in 2006 from 48.1% in 2005. Personnel expenses increased to 65.7% of our total selling, operating and administrative expenses in 2006 as compared to 64.9% in 2005. These increases were due primarily to increased executive, sales and operating management personnel in the domestic business units. Personnel expense in the international business were unchanged as reduced labor costs at the US and UK distribution centers offset the increased costs of filling two management positions in 2006, which were vacant for the majority of 2005.

Other Selling, General and Administrative Expense.    Other Selling, General and Administrative Expense remained constant at $7.8 million in both 2006 and 2005. Reduced workers compensation, temporary labor, and operating expenses at the distribution centers    were offset by increased building rent, property taxes and building insurance.

Income From Operations.    Income from operations was $7.1 million for 2006, a 8.6% decrease from $7.8 million in 2005. This decrease was due to an $0.3 million decrease in gross profit and a $0.4 million increase in selling, operating and administrative expenses. Income from operations as a percentage of gross profit was 24.0% in 2006 compared to 26.0% in 2005.

Provision For Income Taxes.    The Company has elected to file its Federal income tax return as an ‘‘S’’ Corporation. Any income or loss for federal income tax purposes is passed through to the shareholders. The Company has elected to file as a ‘‘C’’ corporation in certain states. The attendant state income tax expense is reflected on the income statement.

Net Income.    Net income was $7.0 million for 2006, a $0.5 million decrease from $7.6 million for 2005.

2005 Compared To 2004

Revenues.    Gross revenues for fiscal year 2005 were $76.7 million, a 16.0% increase over $66.2 million in 2004. Domestic gross revenues increased 17.1% to $57.7 million and international gross revenues increased 12.7% to $19.0 million. The increase in domestic gross revenues resulted from higher rates accompanied by an increase in tonnage as we continued to increase business with existing customers, create new customer relationships and grow our value-added services. International gross revenue growth was driven by a slight improvement in rates accompanied by an increase in tonnage associated with additional business from existing customers and the creation of new customer relationships.

Gross profits for fiscal year 2005 were $30.0 million, a 7.6% increase over $27.9 million in 2004. Domestic gross profits increased 6.2% to $22.0 million and international gross profits increased 11.5%

to $8.0 million. Gross profit margin, or gross profit as a percentage of gross revenues, was 39.1% in 2005 compared to 42.2% in 2004. Domestic gross profit margin in 2005 was 38.2% as compared to 42.1% in the year ago period. International gross profit in 2005 was 42.0% and 42.4% in 2004. The decline in gross profit margin in both our domestic and international segments was the result of higher purchased transportation and fuel surcharge expenses as a percentage of revenue.

Selling, Operating And Administrative Expenses

Selling, operating and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $22.2 million, a 2.0% decrease from $22.7 million in 2004, which can be attributed to both a reduction in personnel and other selling, general and administrative expenses. As a percentage of gross profit, SO&A expenses decreased to 74.0% in 2005 from 81.2% in 2004. Traditionally as gross profit increases, SO&A decreases as a percentage of that gross profit.

Segmented SO&A Expenses.    Domestic SO&A expenses in 2005 were $15.2 million, a 0.7% decrease from $15.3 million in 2004. This reduction was the result of lower personnel expenses due to several vacancies in management positions in the first half of 2005 that were filled in the second half. Partially offsetting this reduction was an increase in direct labor costs in the domestic distribution centers to handle higher business levels. International SO&A expense decreased 4.6% from $7.4 million in 2004 to $7.0 million. The decrease in international SO&A in 2005 was due primarily to a reduction in other selling, general and administrative expense from 2004 levels, during which time the international division experienced start up costs for the UK distribution center in Hanworth.. International SO&A also decreased due to the vacancies in two management positions in the US and UK during a substantial part of 2005.

Personnel Expense.    Personnel expense decreased 0.7% to 14.4 million in 2005 from $14.5 million. Personnel expenses as a percentage of gross profit decreased to 48.1% in 2005 from 52.1% in 2004 as additional traffic was processed through the domestic and international divisions with higher productivity at the distribution centers. Personnel expenses as a percentage of SO&A increased to 64.9% in 2005 as compared to 64.1% in 2004. Personnel expenses were reduced at US distribution facilities, which more than offset an increase in staffing at the UK distribution center for the entire twelve months of 2005 (versus five months of 2004).

Other Selling, General and Administrative Expense.    Other Selling, General and Administrative Expense decreased 4.2% to $7.8 million from $8.1 million in 2004. This reduction was the result of lower travel expense, temporary agency labor, claim settlements and lease termination costs in the UK.

Income From Operations.    Income from operations was $7.8 million in 2005, an increase of 48.7% over $5.2 million in 2004. This increase was primarily driven by a $2.1 million increase in gross profit and a $0.4 million decline in selling, operating and administrative expenses. Income from operations as a percentage of gross profits was 26.0% in 2005 compared to 18.8% in 2004.

Provision For Income Taxes.    The Company has elected to file its Federal income tax return as an ‘‘S’’ Corporation. Any income or loss for federal income tax purposes is passed through to the shareholders. The Company has elected to file as a ‘‘C’’ corporation in certain states. The attendant state income tax expense is reflected on the income statement.

Net Income.    Net income was $7.6 million for 2005 and $5.0 million for 2004.

First Quarter of 2007 Compared to First Quarter of 2006

In connection with the execution of the purchase agreement, the Company committed to a plan to discontinue its operations located in the United Kingdom. Operations that will be discontinued had net losses in the 1st quarter of 2007 of $270 thousand, inclusive of $105 thousand impairment of property and equipment, as compared to $133 thousand in the 1st quarter of 2006. Management’s discussion and analysis of the 1st quarter of 2007 results compared to the 1st quarter of 2006 relate to continuing operations, which are net of the operations located in the United Kingdom.

Revenues.    Gross revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 were $18.3 million, an increase of 3.0% over $17.8 million in the first quarter of 2006, which is attributable to an 7.8% increase in domestic gross revenue to $15.2 million. The increase in domestic gross revenues resulted from an increase in tonnage accompanied by slightly higher rates. Partially offsetting the increase in domestic gross revenues was a 15.3% decrease in international gross revenues to $3.1 million. The decrease in international gross revenues was attributable to a decrease in tonnage, and our decision to exit a specific segment of the book shipping market, which posed an unacceptable risk.

Gross profits for the first quarter of 2007 were $6.9 million, which was constant with the first quarter of 2006. Domestic gross profits increased 6.9% to $5.5 million and international gross profits decreased 17.3% to $1.4 million. Gross profit margin was 37.9% in the first quarter 2007 compared to 38.6% in the year ago period. Domestic gross profit margin in the 1st quarter of 2007 was 36.3% and 36.6% for the comparable period in 2006. International gross profit margin in the 1st quarter of 2007 was 45.2% and 46.3% in the same period in 2006. The decline in gross profit margin was the result of higher purchased transportation and fuel surcharge costs in both our domestic and international segments.

Selling, Operating And Administrative Expenses

Selling, operating and administrative expense for the first quarter ending April 1, 2007 increased 7.7% to $5.4 million compared to $5.0 million in the first quarter of 2006. The increase in SO&A is due primarily to new operations in Amarillo and Dallas, which were not yet established in the comparable quarter of 2006. Additionally an increase of $0.5 million in other selling, general and administration expense was partially offset by a $0.1 million reduction in personnel expense. As a percentage of gross profit, SO&A expense increased to 78.0% in the first quarter of 2007 compared to 73.1% in the comparable period in 2006.

Segmented SO&A.    Domestic SO&A expenses in the first quarter of 2007 were $4.1 million as compared to $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2006, an increase of 12.6%. The largest components of the $0.5 million increase in domestic SO&A were a $0.3 million severance agreement with a former sales executive and increased building rent and related occupancy costs. International SO&A decreased 5.1% as personnel expenses were reduced.

Personnel Expense.    Personnel expense decreased 3.5% to $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared to $3.3 million in the comparable quarter of 2006. Personnel expense as a percentage of gross profit decreased to 45.4% in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to 47.5%. These decreases were driven primarily by reductions in personnel expenses in both the domestic and international businesses partially offset by severance payments made during the quarter, which aren’t anticipated continuing.

Other Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.    Other Selling, General and Administrative Expenses increased 28.5% to $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared to $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2006. This increase was driven by a $0.3 million severance agreement with a former sales executive, and increased building rent and related occupancy expenses.

Liquidity And Capital Resources

We have historically generated substantial cash from operations, which has enabled us to repay our loans and then subsequently pay cash dividends. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $4.1 million and$3.6 million as of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. Working capital at December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was $2.2 million and $1.5 million.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $0.6 million and $1.6 million as of March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006. Working capital at March 31, 2007 and December 30, 2006 as reclassified to reflect the discontinued operations was ($0.3) million and $2.4 million.

Our first priority for our cash is to provide for working capital and for our limited capital expenditures. Afterwards, our priority is to pay a cash dividend to our shareholders.

Cash Flow From Operating Activities.    We generated $7.3 million, $8.4 million and $4.8 million of cash flow from operations in 2006, 2005 and 2004. Our cash from operations generally grows in relation to our net income, adjusted for working capital needs related to our business.

We generated $0.6 million and $1.3 million in the 1st quarter of 2007 compared to the 1st quarter of 2006.

Cash Flow From Investing Activities.    We used $478,000, $418,000 and $937,000 of cash flow for investing activities in 2006, 2005 and 2004. Our investing activities consist of our capital expenditures, which are for warehouse equipment and computers, and, in 2004, the purchase of the Trenton, NJ headquarters building.

We used $34,000 in the 1st quarter of 2007 versus $35,000 in the 1st quarter of 2006.

Cash Flow From Financing Activities.    We used $6.3 million, $6.6 million and $4.4 million of cash flow for financing activities in 2006, 2005, and 2004. This was primarily for quarterly tax distribution associated with our S corporation tax status, an annual dividend, and share repurchases.

We used $4.0 million in the 1st quarter of 2007 versus $3.3 million in the 1st quarter of 2006 for dividends to our shareholders.

Disclosures About Contractual Obligations.     The Company has non-cancelable operating leases, primarily for real property. The leases require the Company to pay maintenance, insurance and other operating expenses.

Market Risks

We had $4.7 million of cash and cash equivalents on December 30, 2006. Excess cash is invested in overnight repurchase agreement with our lead bank. Our only risk is that funds help pursuant to the repurchase agreement are not a deposit and therefore, not insured by the FDIC.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Clark is minimally exposed to foreign currency exchanges risks. All domestic customers are invoiced in US dollars.  In the International segment, all but one customer is invoiced in US dollars or UK sterling, and that customer is invoiced in euros and represented less than 1% of total accounts receivable in 2006. Sterling denominated invoices represented less than 1 % of the accounts receivable in 2006. Less than 1% of 2006 total freight expense of the domestic segment is purchased in Canadian dollars. Our International segment purchases freight in both US dollars and UK sterling, with sterling representing less than 5% of 2006 international freight expense. Airfreight and ocean freight transportation services are purchased in US dollars. Ocean freight carriers normally impose currency adjustment factors (CAF) as a part of their overall invoicing. The CAF amounts rise and fall based on the relative value of the US dollar and other curriencies. This CAF has not been material over the past five years. We do not engage in currency hedging activities.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Related Party Policy

Our Code of Ethics requires us to avoid, wherever possible, all related party transactions that could result in actual or potential conflicts of interest, except under guidelines approved by the board of directors (or the audit committee). SEC rules generally define related-party transactions as transactions in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year, (2) we or any of our subsidiaries is a participant, and (3) any (a) executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director, (b) greater than 5 percent beneficial owner of our common stock, or (c) immediate family member, of the persons referred to in clauses (a) and (b), has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10 percent beneficial owner of another entity). A conflict of interest situation can arise when a person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise if a person, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position. Our audit committee, pursuant to its written charter, is responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions to the extent we enter into such transactions. The audit committee considers all relevant factors when determining whether to approve a related party transaction, including whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. No director may participate in the approval of any transaction in which he is a related party, but that director is required to provide the audit committee with all material information concerning the transaction. Additionally, we require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire annually that elicits information about related party transactions. These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.

GLAC Related Party Transactions

Prior Issuances

In September 2005, we issued 2,500,000 shares of our common stock to the individuals set forth below for approximately $1,000 in cash, at an average purchase price of approximately $.0004 per share, as follows:


Name Number of
Shares
Relationship to Us
James Martell 787,500 Chairman of the Board
Gregory Burns, CFA 787,500 Chief Executive Officer, President and Director
Mitchel Friedman 343,750 Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary
Donald McInnes 62,500 Director
Edward Cook 62,500 Director
Maurice Levy 50,000 Director
John Burns, Jr. 31,250 Special Advisor
Charles Royce 375,000 Stockholder

In January 2006, Mr. Friedman, who was dismissed from his positions with GLAC in June 2006, gifted 62,500 of the shares of our common stock he received in the above-referenced issuance to Mr. Martell.

Inside Stockholder Escrow

Prior to the closing of the acquisition, the GLAC Inside Stockholders, other than Mitchel Friedman, will place an aggregate of 1,173,438 of their Original Shares into escrow. Of the 1,173,438

107




Table of Contents

shares to be placed in trust: Mr. Martell will place 400,000, Mr. Gregory E. Burns 381,250, Messrs. McInnes and Cook 31,250 each, Mr. Levy 25,000, Mrs. Royce 281,250 and Mr. John Burns 23,438. The amounts represent 75% of the Original Shares currently owned by Messrs. Royce and John Burns, and 50% for Messrs. Martell, Gregory E. Burns, McInnes, Cook and Levy.

The Original Shares will only be released from escrow if, and only if, prior to the fifth anniversary of the closing, the last sales price of our common stock equal or exceeds $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 day trading day period. Upon satisfaction of this condition, the original shareholders may send a notice to the trustee that the conditions have been met. Upon verification by the independent trustee, shares shall be released to the holders. If such condition is not met, the shares placed in escrow will be cancelled.

The terms of the escrow agreement will restrict the holders from selling or otherwise transferring the escrowed shares during the period the escrow arrangement is in effect, subject to certain limited exceptions such as transfers to family members and trusts for estate planning purposes, the death of the holder and transfers to an estate or beneficiaries, provided that the recipients agree to remain subject to the arrangement. As a result of the condition to which the escrowed shares will be subject, such shares will be considered as contingent shares and, as a result, are not included in the income (loss) per share calculations that are provided in this proxy statement. Accordingly, GLAC will be required to recognize a charge based on the fair value of the shares over the expected period of time it will take to achieve the target price. Based on our current share price of $7.88 and an estimated 5 year performance horizon, such non-cash charge would be approximately $1,849,000 per year.

Initial Stockholder Warrant Purchase

In connection with the closing of our offering, we issued 2,272,727 initial stockholder warrants to the individuals set forth below for approximately $2,500,000 in cash, at an average purchase price of $1.10 per warrant as follows:


Name Number of Initial

Registration Rights

The holders of the majority of the above-referenced shares, including the shares of common stock underlying the above-referenced initial stockholder warrants, will be entitled to make up to two demands that we register such shares, the initial stockholder warrants and the shares of common stock underlying the initial stockholder warrants pursuant to an agreement to be signed prior to or on the date of this prospectus. The holders of the majority of these shares, including the shares of common stock underlying the initial stockholder warrants, can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time subsequent to six months after the consummation of a business combination, pursuant to the terms of their respective lock-up agreements. In addition, these stockholders have certain ‘‘piggy-back’’ registration rights on registration statements filed subsequent to such date. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Other transactions

We have agreed to pay Blue Line Advisors, Inc., a private company wholly-owned and controlled by our chief executive officer and president, Gregory Burns, approximately $7,500 per month for office space and administrative support services.

Table of Contents

We will reimburse our officers and directors for any out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on our behalf such as identifying and investigating possible target businesses and business combinations. There is no limit on the amount of accountable out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable by us, which will be reviewed only by our board or a court of competent jurisdiction if such reimbursement is challenged, provided that no proceeds held in the trust account will be used to reimburse out-of-pocket expenses prior to a business combination.

Other than the reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses payable to our officers and directors, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid to any of our initial stockholders, including our officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with a business combination, other than pursuant to our administrative services agreement with Blue Line Advisors, Inc.

We intend to require that all ongoing and future transactions between us and any of our officers and directors or their respective affiliates, including loans by our officers and directors, will be on terms believed by us to be no less favorable than are available from unaffiliated third parties and such transactions or loans, including any forgiveness of loans, will require prior approval in each instance by a majority of our non-interested ‘‘independent’’ directors (to the extent we have any) or the members of our board who do not have an interest in the transaction, in either case who had access, at our expense, to our attorneys or independent legal counsel.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires GLAC directors, officers and persons owning more than 10% of GLAC common stock to file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the Securities ad Exchange Commission. Based on its review of the copies of such reports furnished to GLAC, or representations from certain reporting persons that no other reports were required, GLAC believes that all applicable filing requirements were complied with during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

DESCRIPTION OF GLAC COMMON STOCK AND OTHER SECURITIES

General

On February 21, 2006, GLAC closed its initial public offering of 10,000,000 units with each unit consisting of one share of its common stock and one warrant, each to purchase one share of its common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. On March 1, 2006, it consummated the closing of an additional 1,000,000 units which were subject to the over-allotment option. The units from the initial public offering (including the over-allotment option) were sold at an offering price of $8.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $88,000,000. GLAC’s units, common stock and warrants are traded on the American Stock Exchange under the symbols GLA, GLA.WS and GLA.U, respectively. The closing price for each share of common stock, warrant and unit of GLAC on May 18, 2007, the last trading day before announcement of the execution of the purchase agreement, was $7.75, $0.87 and $8.65, respectively.

The certificate of incorporation of GLAC authorizes the issuance of 400,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001. As of the record date, 13,500,000 shares of common stock were outstanding and no shares of preferred stock were outstanding.

Common Stock

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. In connection with the vote required for any business combination, all of the existing stockholders, including all officers and directors of GLAC, have agreed to vote their respective shares of common stock owned by them immediately prior to the IPO in accordance with the vote of the holders of a majority of the Public Shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the special meeting. This voting arrangement does not apply to shares included in units purchased in the IPO or purchased following the IPO in the open market by any of GLAC’s stockholders, officers and directors. GLAC’s stockholders, officers and directors may vote their shares in any manner they determine, in their sole discretion, with respect to any other items that come before a vote of our stockholders.

GLAC will proceed with the acquisition only if stockholders who own at least a majority of the Public Shares, present in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote, vote in favor of the acquisition and stockholders owning fewer than 20% of the Public Shares exercise conversion rights discussed below.

Our board of directors is divided into three classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of three years with only one class of directors being elected in each year. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for election in each class.

If GLAC is required to liquidate, the holders of the Public Shares will be entitled to share ratably in the trust account, inclusive of any interest, and any net assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities. Holders of common stock issued prior to GLAC’s IPO have agreed to waive their rights to share in any distribution with respect to common stock owned by them prior to the IPO if GLAC is forced to liquidate.

Holders of GLAC common stock do not have any conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the common stock, except that the holders of the Public Shares have the right to have their Public Shares converted to cash equal to their pro rata share of the trust account if they vote against the acquisition proposal, properly demand conversion and the acquisition is approved and completed. Holders of common stock who convert their stock into their shares of the trust account still have the right to exercise the warrants that they received as part of the units.

Preferred Stock

The certificate of incorporation of GLAC authorizes the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of a blank check preferred stock with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time

to time by GLAC’s board of directors. Accordingly, GLAC’s board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock, although GLAC has entered into an underwriting agreement which prohibits GLAC, prior to a business combination, from issuing preferred stock which participates in any manner in the proceeds of the trust account, or which votes as a class with the common stock on a business combination. GLAC may issue some or all of the preferred stock to effect a business combination. In addition, the preferred stock could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of GLAC. There are no shares of preferred stock outstanding and GLAC does not currently intend to issue any preferred stock.

Warrants

GLAC currently has outstanding 12,272,727 redeemable common stock purchase warrants. Each warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $6.00 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the completion of the acquisition. The warrants expire on February 15, 2011 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time. GLAC may call the warrants for redemption:

  in whole and not in part;
  at a price of $0.01 per warrant at any time after the warrants become exercisable;
  upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and
  if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders.

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or GLAC’s recapitalization, reorganization, acquisition or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below the exercise price.

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified check payable to GLAC, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

No warrants will be exercisable unless at the time of exercise a prospectus relating to common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is current and the common stock has been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants. Under the terms of a warrant agreement, GLAC has agreed to use its best efforts to maintain a current prospectus relating to common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants. However, there is no assurance that GLAC will be able to do so. If the prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not current, holders will be unable to exercise their warrants and GLAC will not be required to net cash settle or cash settle the warrant exercise. Accordingly, the warrants may be deprived of any value and the market for the warrants may be limited if the prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is not current or if the common stock is not qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of the warrants reside.

Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent

The transfer agent for GLAC’s securities and warrant agent for GLAC’s warrants is Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company, 17 Battery Place, New York, New York 10004.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of The Clark Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of The Clark Group, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 30, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Clark Group and subsidiaries, as of December 30, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 30, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 1, the accompanying fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 consolidated financial statements have been restated.

THE CLARK GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Business Activity   –   The Clark Group, Inc. (the Company) is a logistics services company that provides ground, air and ocean freight forwarding, contract logistics, customs clearances, distribution, inbound logistics, truckload brokerage and other supply chain management services. The Company serves its clients through a network of contract logistics providers and distribution centers.

Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Clark Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company is a holding company with investments in operating entities, Clark Distribution Systems, Inc., Clark Worldwide Transportation Limited, Clark Worldwide Transportation, Inc., Highway Distribution Systems, Inc. and Evergreen Express Lines, Inc.

Year End   –   The Company utilizes a 52 – 53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. The years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005 each included 52 weeks.

Recognition of Revenue – Gross revenues consist of the total dollar value of goods and services purchased from us by our customers. Gross profits are gross revenues less freight expense. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with method 5 of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 99-19, Revenue and Expense Recognition for Freight Services in Process. Accordingly, gross revenue and freight consolidation costs for domestic ground freight, international air and ocean freight forwarding services are recognized based upon the relative transit time in each reporting period with expense recognized as incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents   –   For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all short term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable   –   Accounts receivable are recorded at management’s estimate of net realizable value. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for uncollectible accounts on a customer specific basis. These factors include historical trends, general and specific economic conditions and local market conditions. Accounts are written off when management determines collection is doubtful.

Property and Equipment   –   Property and equipment are stated at cost. Buildings and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the related lease term or useful lives of the assets. Gains and losses on disposal of property and equipment are recognized when the asset is sold. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, whereas expenditures for improvements and replacements are capitalized.

Income Taxes   –   The Company has elected to file its Federal income tax return as an ‘‘S’’ Corporation. Any income or loss for federal income tax purposes is passed through to the shareholders. The Company has elected to file as a ‘‘C’’ corporation in certain states. The attendant state income tax expense is reflected on the income statement. Deferred state income taxes are not material.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments   –   The Company’s financial instruments consist of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value.

Significant Estimates   –   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

FS-7




Accounting for Goodwill, Intangibles and Other Long-lived Assets   –   The Company accounts for goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, and SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

The Company measures for potential goodwill impairment using a discounted cash flow model to determine the estimated fair value of our reporting units. The discounted cash flow model contains significant assumptions and estimates about discount rates, future operating results and terminal values that could materially affect the Company’s operating results or financial position if they were to change significantly in the future. The Company performs its goodwill impairment test annually and whenever events or changes in facts or circumstances indicate that impairment may exist.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, when events, circumstances or operating results indicate that the carrying values of certain long-lived assets and related identifiable intangible assets (excluding goodwill) that are expected to be held and used might be impaired, the Company prepares projections of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the projections indicate that the recorded amounts are not expected to be recoverable, such amounts are reduced to estimated fair value. Fair value may be estimated based upon internal evaluations that include quantitative analysis of revenues and cash flows, reviews of recent sales of similar assets and independent appraisals.

Comprehensive Income   –   SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, established standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income for years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005 was the same as net income for the Company.

Foreign Currency   –   For consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities expressed in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated at the rates of exchange effective at the balance sheet date. These gains and losses arising on remeasurement are accounted for in the income statement. Operating results for the year are translated using average rates of exchange for the year. Gains and losses on translation are not material.

New Accounting Standards   –   In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (‘‘FIN 48’’). This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements, and requires companies to use a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold based on the technical merits of the tax position taken. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be measured in order to determine the tax benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its financial position and results of operations. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of FIN 48 effective for the year ending December 2007.

On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued, SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The standard provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities and applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new standard on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This new standard provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Generally accepted accounting principles have required different measurement attributes for different assets and liabilities that can create artificial volatility in earnings. The FASB believes that SFAS No. 159 helps to mitigate this type of accounting-induced volatility by enabling companies to report related assets and liabilities at fair

FS-8




value, which would likely reduce the need for companies to comply with detailed rules for hedge accounting. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The new Statement does not eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards, including requirements for disclosures about fair value measurements included in SFAS No. 157 and No. 107. This Statement is effective beginning January 1, 2008 for the Company, with early adoption permitted under certain circumstances. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements   –   The Company’s management initiated a review of its revenue recognition accounting practices and determined that a correction was required to the way it recognized revenue to be in accordance with EITF Issue No. 99-19, Revenue and Expense Recognition for Freight Services in Process. In addition, in the course of reviewing certain accrued liabilities and cash reconciliations, management determined that adjustments were necessary. As a result the Company restated its financial statements for the years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005. The cumulative effect on retained earning at January 2, 2004 was $283,000.

The effect of these restatement adjustments reduced net income for the years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005 net income by $217,000, $11,000, and $19,000 respectively.

A summary of the significant effects of the restatement is as follows (in thousands):

THE CLARK GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Business Activity – The Clark Group, Inc. (the Company) is a logistics services company that provides ground, air and ocean freight forwarding, contract logistics, customs clearances, distribution, inbound logistics, truckload brokerage and other supply chain management services. The Company serves its clients through a network of contract logistics providers and distribution centers.

Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Clark Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company is a holding company with investments in operating entities, Clark Distribution Systems, Inc., Clark Worldwide Transportation Limited, Clark Worldwide Transportation, Inc., Highway Distribution Systems, Inc. and Evergreen Express Lines, Inc.

The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2007 and December 30, 2006 and for the 13 weeks ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006 are unaudited and are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’). Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained the Company’s 2006 Audited Financial Statements as presented on Proxy Statement 14A. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.

Fiscal Period – The Company utilizes a 52 – 53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. The companies’ interim financial statements are reported on four 13 week periods.

Recognition of Revenue – Gross revenues consist of the total dollar value of goods and services purchased from us by our customers. Gross profits are gross revenues less freight expense. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with method 5 of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 99-19, Revenue and Expense recognition for Freight Services in Process. Accordingly, gross revenue and freight consolidation costs for domestic ground freight, international air and ocean freight forwarding services are recognized based upon the relative transit time in each reporting period with expense recognized as incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all short term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable are recorded at management’s estimate of net realizable value. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for uncollectible accounts on a customer specific basis. These factors include historical trends, general and specific economic conditions and local market conditions. Accounts are written off when management determines collection is doubtful.

Property and Equipment – Property and equipment are stated at cost. Buildings and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the related lease term or useful lives of the assets. Gains and losses on disposal of property and equipment are recognized when the asset is sold. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, whereas expenditures for improvements and replacements are capitalized.

Income Taxes – The Company has elected to file its Federal income tax return as an ‘‘S’’ Corporation. Any income or loss for federal income tax purposes is passed through to the shareholders. The Company has elected to file as a ‘‘C’’ corporation in certain states. The attendant state income tax expense is reflected on the income statement. Deferred state income taxes are not material.

FS-18




Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The Company’s financial instruments consist of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value.

Significant Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Accounting for Goodwill, Intangibles and Other Long-lived Assets – The Company accounts for goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, and SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

The Company measures for potential goodwill impairment using a discounted cash flow model to determine the estimated fair value of our reporting units. The discounted cash flow model contains significant assumptions and estimates about discount rates, future operating results and terminal values that could materially affect the Company’s operating results or financial position if they were to change significantly in the future. The Company performs its goodwill impairment test annually and whenever events or changes in facts or circumstances indicate that impairment may exist.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, when events, circumstances or operating results indicate that the carrying values of certain long-lived assets and related identifiable intangible assets (excluding goodwill) that are expected to be held and used might be impaired, the Company prepares projections of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the projections indicate that the recorded amounts are not expected to be recoverable, such amounts are reduced to estimated fair value. Fair value may be estimated based upon internal evaluations that include quantitative analysis of revenues and cash flows, reviews of recent sales of similar assets and independent appraisals.

Comprehensive Income – SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, established standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income for quarters ended March 31, 2007, and April 1, 2006 was the same as net income for the Company.

Foreign Currency – For consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities expressed in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated at the rates of exchange effective at the balance sheet date. These gains and losses arising on remeasurement are accounted for in the income statement. Operating results are translated using average rates of exchange. Gains and losses on translation are not material.

Depreciation expense was $86,000 and $94,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006, respectively. Repairs and maintenance expense was $173,000 and $171,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006, respectively.

3.  DEBT:

The Company has a revolving bank loan, which is secured by the Company’s assets. The commitment on the revolving credit line is $4.0 million and matures on November 30, 2007. Interest is payable at 1.75% over Libor, and a facility fee of 0.30% is payable annually. The loans contain covenants that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and, among other restrictions, place limitations on cash dividends. At March 31, 2007, the Company was in compliance with its covenants.

The Company has issued approximately $1,417,000 in bank letters of credit. Future payments under the Company’s workers’ compensation insurance program represented $1,174,000 of this amount, and the balance was issued as a security deposit for its leased UK property.

The Company recognizes fees associated with the revolving credit line and the letters of credit as interest expense. These fees totaled $7,000 and $10,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006, respectively.

4.  INSURANCE ACCRUALS:

The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance to provide for the liabilities for workers’ compensation, healthcare benefits, general liability, property insurance, and vehicle liability. Liabilities associated with the self-insured risks are not discounted and are estimated, in part, by considering historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors and other assumptions. The estimated accruals for these liabilities, portions of which are calculated by independent third party service providers, could be significantly affected if future occurrences and claims differ from these assumptions and historical trends. The self-insurance reserve is included in ‘‘accrued expenses and other payables’’ in the balance sheets and at March 31, 2007 and December 30, 2006, was $458,000 and $343,000, respectively.

5.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

The Company is obligated to repurchase shares of its common stock pursuant to a put/call agreement with its shareholders. The purchase price is based on a multiple of defined earnings for the year preceding the exercise date.

From time to time, the Company is a defendant or plaintiff in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. To date, none of these types of litigation has had a material effect on the Company.

6.  BUSINESS SEGMENTS:

The Company identifies business segments into Domestic and International. The Domestic segment consists of operations serving a variety of wholesale customers in North America, including Canada. The International segment consists principally of shipments outside North America.

8.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

On May 18, 2007 the Company’s shareholders agreed to sell 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock to Global Logistics Acquisition Corporation. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, shareholders have agreed to indemnify the Company for costs associated with the discontinuing the United Kingdom operations. The purchase agreement is subject to approval by the shareholders of Global Logistics Acquisition Corporation. The accompanying financial statements do no reflect any effects of this sale.

FS-21




In connection with the execution of the purchase agreement, the Company committed to a plan to discontinue its operations located in the United Kingdom. On June 20, 2007 the Company informed the affected employees. Management estimates that severance will approximate $72,000. Also the Company will negotiate a cancellation of its facility lease. Management estimates that the expense to cancel the lease will not exceed $1,300,000. In accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, the Company will recognize the liabilities associated with the severance and lease cancellation in the period in which they are incurred.

The results for the discontinued operations for the 3 months ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006 is as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Global Logistics Acquisition Corporation

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Global Logistics Acquisition Corporation (a development stage company) (the ‘‘Company’’) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006, for the period from September 1, 2005 (date of inception) through December 31, 2005 and 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements enumerated above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Logistics Acquisition Corporation as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006, for the period from September 1, 2005 (date of inception) through December 31, 2005 and 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note A to the financial statements, the Company is required to consummate a business acquisition by August 21, 2007, or by February 21, 2008 if the extension criteria are satisfied. The possibility of such acquisition not being consummated within the required time raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GLOBAL LOGISTICS ACQUISITION CORPORATION
(a development stage company)
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2006

NOTE A — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS; GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATION

The Company was incorporated in Delaware on September 1, 2005. The Company was formed to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of one or more operating businesses in the transportation and logistics sector and related industries through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination. All activity from September 1, 2005 through February 21, 2006 (the date the Company completed the Offering (defined below)) related to the Company’s formation and the Offering as described below. Since February 21, 2006, the Company has been searching for a target business to acquire. The Company has not generated any revenue to date other than interest income earned on the proceeds of the Offering. The Company is considered to be in the development stage and is subject to the risks associated with activities of development stage companies. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (‘‘Offering’’) of 10,000,000 units, each consisting of one share of common stock, par value $.0001 (‘‘Shares’’), and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant (‘‘Warrants’’) exercisable for an additional Share, was declared effective on February 15, 2006. The Company consummated the Offering on February 21, 2006. In addition, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option for an additional 1,000,000 units, which units were issued on March 1, 2006. In total, the Company recorded net proceeds of approximately $80,997,000 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions (including $2,640,000 of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions) and offering expenses. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an initial business combination with (or acquisition of) one or more operating businesses in the transportation and logistics sector and related industries (‘‘Business Combination’’). The operating businesses that the Company acquires in such Business Combination must have, individually or collectively, a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions of $2,640,000) at the time of such acquisition. At December 31, 2006, approximately $86,342,513 (including $2,640,000 deferred underwriting discounts and commissions) of the net proceeds inclusive of interest earned is being held in a trust account (‘‘Trust Account’’) and is invested in a trust fund which invests in short-term securities issued or guaranteed by the United States having a rating in the highest investment category granted thereby by a registered credit rating agency at the time of the acquisition until the earlier of (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. The remaining proceeds may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a target business, will submit such transaction for stockholder approval. In the event that 20% or more of the outstanding stock (excluding, for this purpose, those shares of common stock issued prior to the Offering) vote against the Business Combination and exercise their conversion rights described below, the Business Combination will not be consummated.

With respect to a Business Combination which is approved and consummated (that is, less than 20% of the outstanding stock, excluding, for this purpose, those shares of common stock issued prior to the Offering, vote against the Business Combination), any public stockholder who voted against the Business Combination may demand that the Company convert his or her shares (excluding warrants which are traded separately). The per share conversion price will equal the amount in the Trust Account (net of any taxes on earnings in the Trust Account), calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the proposed Business Combination, divided by the number of shares of common stock held by public stockholders at the consummation of the Offering. Accordingly, public

FS-28




stockholders holding less than 20% of the aggregate number of shares owned by all public stockholders may seek conversion of their shares even in the event a Business Combination is approved. As a result, a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering (19.99% of the amount held in the Trust Account) inclusive of interest, but net of taxes has been classified as common stock subject to possible conversion in the accompanying December 31, 2006 balance sheet.

In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within 18 months from the date of the consummation of the Offering (or within 24 months after the consummation of the Offering if a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement was executed within such 18-month period) the proceeds held in the Trust Account will be distributed pro rata to the Company’s public stockholders, excluding the initial stockholders to the extent of their initial stock holdings. In the event of such distribution, it is likely that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per share in the Offering (assuming no value is attributed to the Warrants contained in the Units offered in the Offering discussed in Note C).

Going concern consideration – As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, at December 31, 2006 the Company had out of trust cash of $967,672 and $284,190 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, leaving us with $683,482 available to us for our activities in connection with identifying and conducting due diligence of a suitable business combination, and for general corporate matters.. The Company has incurred and expects to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful or successful within the target business acquisition period. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue operations as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE B — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

[1] Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Cash equivalents consist of investments in one or more money market funds.

[2] Fair value of financial instruments:

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets, including cash and cash equivalents and investments held in the Trust Account approximate fair value because of their short term maturities.

[3] Earnings per common share:

Basic earnings per common share for all periods is computed by dividing the earnings applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income per share reflects the potential dilution assuming common shares were issued upon the exercise of outstanding in the money warrants and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period.

[4] Income Taxes:

Deferred income taxes are provided for the differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

[5] Deferred offering costs:

At December 31, 2005 deferred offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, filing and miscellaneous fees related to the Offering and were charged to stockholder’s equity upon completion of the Offering.

FS-29




[6] Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

[7] New Accounting Pronouncement

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) has issued interpretation No. 48, ‘‘Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109’’ (‘‘FIN 48’’), regarding accounting for, and disclosure of, uncertain tax positions. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, ‘‘Accounting for Income Taxes.’’ FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact FIN 48 will have on its results of operations and financial position. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 will be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings accumulated during the development stage on January 1, 2007.

The Company does not believe that any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

NOTE C — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

On February 21, 2006, the Company sold 10,000,000 units (‘‘Units’’) in the Offering for $8.00 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of one Share and one Warrant. On March 1, 2006, pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option, the Company sold an additional 1,000,000 Units for $8.00 per Unit. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 commencing on the later of (a) February 15, 2007 or (b) the completion of a Business Combination, and expires February 15, 2011. The Warrants are redeemable at a price of $.01 per Warrant upon 30 days notice after the Warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. Under the terms of the warrant agreement governing the Warrants, the Company is required to use its best efforts to register the Warrants and maintain such registration. After evaluating the Company’s financial statement treatment with respect to the accounting for derivative financial instruments pursuant to FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-19, the Company entered into a First Supplemental Warrant Agreement (the ‘‘Supplemental Agreement’’), dated August 21, 2006, with The Bank of New York (the ‘‘Warrant Agent’’), to amend the Warrant Agreement, dated as of February 15, 2006, between the Company and the Warrant Agent in order to clarify that registered holders of the Company’s Warrants do not have the right to receive a net cash settlement or other consideration in lieu of physical settlement in shares of the Company’s Common Stock. All of the Company’s initial stockholders have certain registration rights.

NOTE D — ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND NOTE PAYABLE — RELATED PARTY

Blue Line Advisors, Inc. (‘‘Blue Line’’), a private company wholly-owned and controlled by the Company’s chief executive officer and president, Gregory Burns, had advanced a total of $430,000 to the Company through February 21, 2006 which was used to pay a portion of the expenses of the Offering including the SEC registration fee, NASD registration fee, AMEX fees, legal and accounting fees and expenses. These advances were made in three installments: 1) a $50,000 direct payment for pre-offering expenses, reflected as an accounts payable to Blue Line; 2) a $300,000 unsecured

FS-30




promissory note (‘‘Promissory Note’’) issued to Blue Line; and 3) a $80,000 direct payment of AMEX fees, reflected as an accounts payable to Blue Line. In accordance with its term, the Promissory Note was repaid on February 22, 2006 from the proceeds of the Offering. In addition, on February 22, 2006, the Company reimbursed Blue Line the additional $130,000 of expenses incurred on behalf of the Company.

NOTE E — INVESTMENTS HELD IN THE TRUST ACCOUNT

The Company holds investments in one or more money market funds which invest principally in short-term securities issued or guaranteed by the United States having a rating in the highest investment category granted thereby by a recognized rating agency at the time of acquisition, which are carried at market value.

NOTE F — PREPAID EXPENSES

Prepaid expenses of $56,189 on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 include $53,824 for Directors and Officers Insurance, $1,365 for AMEX listing fees, and $1,000 for Trust account services.

NOTE G — ACCRUED EXPENSES

Accrued expenses of $274,190 on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 include $92,036 of accrued Delaware corporate filing fees, $9,293 of accrued federal, state, and city income taxes, $89,384 of accrued legal fees, and $83,477 of accrued due diligence and transaction related expenses.

NOTE H — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Commencing on February 21, 2006, the Company has agreed to pay Blue Line $7,500 per month for office space and administrative support services. Upon the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination or the liquidation of the Trust Account, the Company will no longer be required to pay these monthly fees. During the year, the Company incurred $10,000 in travel expenses for services rendered by a related party.

NOTE I — COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES

In connection with the Offering, the Company agreed to pay underwriting discounts and commissions equal to 7.0% of the gross offering proceeds of the Offering. The underwriters agreed to defer the collection of a portion of these underwriting discounts and commissions totaling 3.0% of the gross offering proceeds and have placed the deferred portion of these fees into the Company’s Trust Account. Such fees will be paid only upon completion of a Business Combination. Accordingly, at December 31, 2006, the Company has accrued deferred underwriting discounts and commissions of $2,640,000. The underwriters have agreed to waive any deferred underwriting discounts and commissions with respect to any shares public stockholders have elected to convert into cash pursuant to conversion rights discussed in Note A.

The initial stockholders collectively purchased a total of 2,272,727 warrants concurrently with the closing of the Offering at a price of $1.10 per warrant. The warrants were not issued as part of a Unit or together with any other security. The initial stockholder warrants were purchased separately in a concurrent private placement that closed in conjunction with the Offering. The net proceeds from the sale of the initial stockholder warrants were aggregated together with the net proceeds of the Offering, all of which is held in the Trust Account pending completion of a Business Combination. If the Company fails to complete a Business Combination, the net proceeds from the sale of the initial stockholder warrants will be distributed upon liquidation in the same manner as the net proceeds of the Offering held in the Trust Account.

The initial stockholder warrants are subject to sale and transfer restrictions until the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination, and the distribution of the Trust Account to the public stockholders. Commencing on the date the initial stockholder warrants become exercisable, such

FS-31




warrants and the underlying common stock will be entitled to registration rights under an agreement with the Company. The initial stockholders are permitted to transfer the initial stockholder warrants in certain limited circumstances, such as upon their death, but the transferees receiving such warrants will be subject to the same transfer restrictions imposed on the initial stockholders. With those exceptions, the initial stockholder warrants have terms and conditions that are identical to those of the warrants that were sold as part of the units in the Offering.

NOTE J — INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are provided for the differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company recorded a deferred income tax asset of $428,000 for the tax effect of temporary differences, aggregating $932,313 at December 31, 2006. The amount of temporary differences relating to start up costs and organization costs amounted to $931,313 and $1,000, respectively.

GLOBAL LOGISTICS ACQUISITION CORPORATION
(a development stage company)

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
March 31, 2007

NOTE A — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of Global Logistics Acquisition Corporation (the ‘‘Company’’) and its results of operations and cash flows for the interim period presented. Such financial statements have been condensed in accordance with the applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, therefore, do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2006 10-K filed on March 29, 2007. The results of the Company’s operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

NOTE B — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

The Company was incorporated in Delaware on September 1, 2005. The Company was formed to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of one or more operating businesses in the transportation and logistics sector and related industries through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination. All activity from September 1, 2005 through February 21, 2006 (the date the Company completed the Offering (defined below)) related to the Company’s formation and the Offering is described below. Since February 21, 2006, the Company has been searching for a target business to acquire. The Company has not generated any revenue to date other than interest income earned on the proceeds of the Offering. The Company is considered to be in the development stage and is subject to the risks associated with activities of development stage companies. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (‘‘Offering’’) of 10,000,000 units, each consisting of one share of common stock, par value $.0001 (‘‘Shares’’), and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant (‘‘Warrants’’) exercisable for an additional Share, was declared effective on February 15, 2006. The Company consummated the Offering on February 21, 2006. In addition, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option for an additional 1,000,000 units, which units were issued on March 1, 2006. In total, the Company recorded net proceeds of approximately $80,997,000 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions (including $2,640,000 of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions) and offering expenses. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an initial business combination with (or acquisition of) one or more operating businesses in the transportation and logistics sector and related industries (‘‘Business Combination’’). The operating businesses that the Company acquires in such Business Combination must have, individually or collectively, a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions of $2,640,000) at the time of such acquisition. At March 31, 2007, $87,200,647 ($2,640,000 of which consists of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions) of the net proceeds inclusive of interest earned is being held in a trust account (‘‘Trust Account’’) and is invested in a trust fund which invests in short-term securities issued or guaranteed by the United States having a rating in the highest investment category granted thereby by a registered credit rating agency at the time of the acquisition until the earlier of (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. The remaining proceeds may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a target business,

FS-38




will submit such transaction for stockholder approval. In the event that 20% or more of the outstanding stock (excluding, for this purpose, those shares of common stock issued prior to the Offering) vote against the Business Combination and exercise their conversion rights described below, the Business Combination will not be consummated.

With respect to a Business Combination which is approved and consummated (that is, less than 20% of the outstanding stock, excluding, for this purpose, those shares of common stock issued prior to the Offering, vote against the Business Combination), any public stockholder who voted against the Business Combination may demand that the Company convert his or her shares (excluding warrants which are traded separately). The per share conversion price will equal the amount in the Trust Account (net of any taxes on earnings in the Trust Account), calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the proposed Business Combination, divided by the number of shares of common stock held by public stockholders at the consummation of the Offering. Accordingly, public stockholders holding less than 20% of the aggregate number of shares owned by all public stockholders may seek conversion of their shares in the event a Business Combination is approved. As a result, a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering (19.99% of the amount held in the Trust Account) inclusive of interest, but net of taxes has been classified as common stock subject to possible conversion in the accompanying balance sheets.

In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within 18 months (by August 21,2007) from the date of the consummation of the Offering (or within 24 months (by February 21, 2008) after the consummation of the Offering if a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement was executed within such 18-month period) the proceeds held in the Trust Account will be distributed pro rata to the Company’s public stockholders, excluding the initial stockholders to the extent of their initial stock holdings. In the event of such distribution, it is likely that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per share in the Offering (assuming no value is attributed to the Warrants contained in the Units offered in the Offering discussed in Note D).

Going concern consideration – As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, at March 31, 2007 the Company had unrestricted cash of $656,734 and $271,931 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, leaving us with $384,803 available to us for our activities in connection with identifying and conducting due diligence of a suitable business combination, and for general corporate matters. The Company has incurred and expects to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a business combination will be successful or successful within the target business acquisition period. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue operations as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE C — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

[1] Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Cash equivalents consist of investments in one or more money market funds.

[2] Fair value of financial instruments:

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets, including cash and cash equivalents and investments held in the Trust Account approximate fair value because of their short term maturities.

[3] Earnings per common share:

Basic earnings per common share for all periods is computed by dividing the earnings applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income per share reflects the potential dilution assuming common shares were issued upon the exercise of outstanding in the money warrants and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period.

FS-39




[4] Income Taxes:

Deferred income taxes are provided for the differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

[5] Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

[6] Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncement:

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with Statement 109 and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributable for financial disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the three month ended March 31, 2007.

NOTE D — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

On February 21, 2006, the Company sold 10,000,000 units (‘‘Units’’) in the Offering for $8.00 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of one Share and one Warrant. On March 1, 2006, pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option, the Company sold an additional 1,000,000 Units for $8.00 per Unit. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 commencing on the later of (a) February 15, 2007 or (b) the completion of a Business Combination, and expires February 15, 2011. The Warrants are redeemable at a price of $.01 per Warrant upon 30 days notice after the Warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. Under the terms of the warrant agreement governing the Warrants, the Company is required to use its best efforts to register the Warrants and maintain such registration. After evaluating the Company’s financial statement treatment with respect to the accounting for derivative financial instruments pursuant to FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-19, the Company entered into a First Supplemental Warrant Agreement (the ‘‘Supplemental Agreement’’), dated August 21, 2006, with The Bank of New York (the ‘‘Warrant Agent’’), to amend the Warrant Agreement, dated as of February 15, 2006, between the Company and the Warrant Agent in order to clarify that registered holders of the Company’s Warrants do not have the right to receive a net cash settlement or other consideration in lieu of physical settlement in shares of the Company’s Common Stock. All of the Company’s initial stockholders have certain registration rights.

NOTE E — INVESTMENTS HELD IN THE TRUST ACCOUNT

The Company holds investments in one or more money market funds which invest principally in short-term securities issued or guaranteed by the United States having a rating in the highest investment category granted thereby by a recognized rating agency at the time of acquisition, which are carried at market value.

NOTE F — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Commencing on February 21, 2006, the Company has agreed to pay Blue Line Advisors, Inc. $7,500 per month for office space and administrative support services. For the year ended December 31, 2006 and the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company paid $82,500 and $22,500, respectively, for the space and services. Upon the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination or the liquidation of the Trust Account, the Company will no longer be required to pay these monthly fees. During 2006, the Company incurred $10,000 in travel expense for services rendered by a related party.

NOTE G — COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES

In connection with the Offering, the Company agreed to pay underwriting discounts and commissions equal to 7.0% of the gross offering proceeds of the Offering. The underwriters agreed to defer the collection of a portion of these underwriting discounts and commissions totaling 3.0% of the gross offering proceeds and have placed the deferred portion of these fees into the Company’s Trust Account. Such fees will be paid only upon completion of a Business Combination. Accordingly, at March 31, 2007, the Company has accrued deferred underwriting discounts and commissions of $2,640,000. The underwriters have agreed to waive any deferred underwriting discounts and commissions with respect to any shares public stockholders have elected to convert into cash pursuant to conversion rights discussed in Note B.

The initial stockholders collectively purchased a total of 2,272,727 warrants concurrently with the closing of the Offering at a price of $1.10 per warrant. The warrants were not issued as part of a Unit or together with any other security. The initial stockholder warrants were purchased separately in a concurrent private placement that closed in conjunction with the Offering. The net proceeds from the sale of the initial stockholder warrants were aggregated together with the net proceeds of the Offering, all of which is held in the Trust Account pending completion of a Business Combination. If the Company fails to complete a Business Combination, the net proceeds from the sale of the initial stockholder warrants will be distributed upon liquidation in the same manner as the net proceeds of the Offering held in the Trust Account.

The initial stockholder warrants are subject to sale and transfer restrictions until the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination, and the distribution of the Trust Account to the public stockholders. Commencing on the date the initial stockholder warrants become exercisable, such warrants and the underlying common stock will be entitled to registration rights under an agreement with the Company. The initial stockholders are permitted to transfer the initial stockholder warrants in certain limited circumstances, such as upon their death, but the transferees receiving such warrants will be subject to the same transfer restrictions imposed on the initial stockholders. With those exceptions, the initial stockholder warrants have terms and conditions that are identical to those of the warrants that were sold as part of the units in the Offering.

NOTE H — INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are provided for the differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company recorded a deferred income tax asset of $469,000 for the tax effect of temporary differences, aggregating $1,033,019 at March 31, 2007. The amount of temporary differences relating to start up costs and organization costs amounted to $1,032,019 and $1,000, respectively.

1.3 Allocation of Purchase Price.    The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Sellers as set forth in Schedule 1.3 (which allocation is based on the pro rata share of the Company Stock owned by each Seller).

1.4 Payment of Purchase Price.

(a) Cash Portion.    The cash portion of the Purchase Price, less amounts to be placed in escrow pursuant to Section 1.11, shall be paid to each Seller at the Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts of the Sellers specified by them in written notice given to the Purchaser not later than two Business Days (as defined in Section 10.2(f)) prior to the Closing Date.

A-2




date or place as the Parties may agree upon in writing. The date on which the Closing takes place is referred to herein as the ‘‘Closing Date.’’

1.6 Sellers’ and Company Deliveries.    At the Closing, each of the Sellers and the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser (a) the certificates for the issued and outstanding shares of Company Stock owned by each Seller, duly endorsed for transfer or with stock powers executed in blank and (b) the certificates, opinions and other agreements and instruments contemplated by Article VI hereof and the other provisions of this Agreement.

1.8 Adjustment to Purchase Price.    The Purchase Price shall be adjusted as follows:

(a) At the Closing, the Representative shall deliver to Purchaser an estimate of the Company’s Working Capital (as hereinafter defined) at the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the ‘‘Calculation Date Working Capital’’), together with a schedule setting forth his calculation thereof. If the Calculation Date Working Capital is greater than (i.e. less negative than) a working capital deficit of (−$1,588,462) (the ‘‘Target Working Capital’’), the Purchase Price shall be increased on a dollar for dollar basis by the amount of the difference between the Calculation Date Working Capital and the Target Working Capital. If the Calculation Date Working Capital is less than (i.e. more negative than) the Target Working Capital, the Purchase Price shall be decreased on a dollar for dollar basis by the amount of the difference between the Target Working Capital and the Calculation Date Working Capital. As used in this Section 1.8, (i) ‘‘Working Capital’’ means, as of the date at which the calculation is made, the sum of (A) current assets excluding cash plus (B) $616,438 representing 3-Day check float minus (C) current liabilities minus (D) the aggregate amount of checks outstanding at such date that were issued in payment of accounts payable, determined in a manner consistent with the methodology used in Exhibit A. During the period prior to the Closing Date, the Company will continue to use practices consistent with those used by the Company prior to the date of this Agreement with respect to working capital, including collections and disbursements practices and procedures.

(b) As promptly as practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than thirty (30) days thereafter (the ‘‘30-Day Period’’), the Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Representative an unaudited balance sheet of the Company at the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the ‘‘Closing Balance Sheet’’) together with a schedule setting forth the actual Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the ‘‘Closing Working Capital’’) calculated in a manner consistent with the calculation of the Calculation Date Working Capital. The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Seller and the Unaudited Financial Statements (as defined in Section 2.7(b)).

(c) On the fifteenth (15th) day after the date on which the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital schedule have been delivered to the Representative (or such earlier date as the Representative notifies the Purchaser in writing), if the Closing Working Capital is not disputed by the Representative pursuant to Section 1.8(e) hereof, (i) if the Closing Working Capital exceeds the Calculation Date Working Capital, then the Purchaser shall immediately pay to each Seller his portion, based on the relative ownership of the outstanding shares of Company Stock, of the amount by which the Closing Working Capital exceeds the Calculation Date Working Capital (the ‘‘Working Capital Surplus’’), and (ii) if the Calculation Date Working

A-3




Capital exceeds the Closing Working Capital (such excess amount being the ‘‘Working Capital Deficit’’), then each Seller shall immediately pay to the Purchaser his pro rata portion, based on the relative ownership of the outstanding shares of Company Stock, of the Working Capital Deficit. If the Representative does not deliver a Dispute Notice (as defined in Section 1.8(e)) to the Purchaser within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital schedule to the Representative (the ‘‘15-Day Period’’), the Closing Balance Sheet and the amount of Closing Working Capital derived therefrom shall be deemed accepted in all respects by the Representative and shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto with the effects set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of this subsection (c).

(d) During the 15-Day Period, the Purchaser agrees to furnish to the Representative and its accountants and agents full access to all working papers, books, records, financial data, calculations and other documentation used in the preparation of the proposed Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of the Closing Working Capital.

(e) If the Representative disputes the Closing Balance Sheet (or any component thereof) or the calculation of the Closing Working Capital shown on the Closing Balance Sheet (or any component thereof), the Representative shall give written notice (the ‘‘Dispute Notice’’) to the Purchaser within the 15-Day Period, which Dispute Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the matters and the reasons for such dispute and the amount(s) in dispute. If the Representative and the Purchaser are unable to resolve the disputed matters within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Purchaser of the Dispute Notice, all disputed matters raised in the Dispute Notice and not so resolved (the ‘‘Disputed Matters’’) shall be submitted to a recognized independent accounting firm with offices located within 100 miles of Wilmington, Delaware, as is chosen by mutual agreement of the Representative and the Purchaser acting in good faith (such firm which accepts the engagement, the ‘‘Independent Auditor’’), for final resolution in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The Purchaser and the Representative shall use their respective best efforts to cause the Independent Auditor to make its determination as to the resolution of the Disputed Matters (the ‘‘Auditor Determination’’) as soon as possible, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the Disputed Matters. The Independent Auditor shall be obligated to follow the Purchase Price adjustment terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and shall not be entitled to award an amount greater than the greatest value claimed by either party or less than the least amount claimed by either party. The Auditor Determination shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto and shall be limited to Disputed Matters. The Auditor Determination shall be reflected in a written report which shall be delivered promptly by the Independent Auditor to the Representative and the Purchaser. One-half of all fees and disbursements of the Independent Auditor shall be paid by the Purchaser and one-half of such fees and disbursements shall be paid by the Sellers. Any payment to be made as a consequence of the Auditor Determination by the Independent Auditor shall be made, in accordance with the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 1.8(c), free and clear of any deductions or set-off, not later than three business days after the receipt of the Auditor Determination by the Representative on behalf of Sellers and the Purchaser.

(f) All amounts paid pursuant to this Section 1.8 shall be paid by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds.

1.9 Twelve-Month Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) If the average of the amounts of Working Capital (the ‘‘Average Working Capital’’) of the Company calculated on the last day of each month for the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2008 (the ‘‘Measurement Period’’) in a manner consistent with the methodology in Exhibit B is greater than (i.e., less negative than) a working capital deficit of $1,588,462 (−1,588,462), the Sellers shall pay to the Company an amount equal to such difference but not in excess of $500,000. To provide a fund for the payment amounts due to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 1.9, at the Closing, the Sellers shall deposit in escrow the aggregate amount of $500,000 (the ‘‘Working Capital Escrow Funds’’), allocated among the Sellers as set forth in Schedule 1.9, to be held until the amount of the Average Working Capital is finally determined

(c) On the fifteenth (15th) day after the date on which the Purchaser’s calculation of the Average Working Capital shall have been delivered to the Representative (or such earlier date as the Representative notifies the Purchaser in writing), (i) if the Average Working Capital as so calculated by the Purchaser is less than (i.e., more negative than) a working capital deficit of $1,588,462 (−$1,588,462), the Purchaser shall authorize the Escrow Agent to pay to the Representative the full amount of the Working Capital Escrow Fund or (ii) if the Average Working Capital as so calculated by the Purchaser is greater than a working capital deficit of $1,588,462 (−$1,588,462), and is not disputed by the Representative, then the Purchaser shall authorize the Escrow Agent to pay to the Purchaser the amount of such difference from the Working Capital Escrow Fund and to deliver the balance of the Working Capital Escrow Fund, if any, to the Representative. If the Representative does not deliver a Working Capital Dispute Notice (as defined in Section 1.9(d)) to the Purchaser within ten (10) days after the delivery of the Purchaser’s calculation of the Average Working Capital to the Representative (the ‘‘10-Day Period’’), the Average Working Capital as calculated by the Purchaser shall be deemed accepted in all respects by the Representative and shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto with the effects set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of this subsection (c).

If the Representative disputes the calculation of the Average Working Capital as calculated by the Purchaser, the Representative shall give written notice (the ‘‘Working Capital Dispute Notice’’) to the Purchaser within the 10-Day Period, which Working Capital Dispute Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the matters and the reasons for such dispute and the amount(s) in dispute. If the Representative and the Purchaser are unable to resolve the disputed matters within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Purchaser of the Working Capital Dispute Notice, all disputed matters raised in the Working Capital Dispute Notice and not so resolved (the ‘‘Working Capital Disputed Matters’’) shall be submitted to the Independent Auditor determined in the manner set forth in Section 1.8(e) for final resolution in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The Purchaser and the Representative shall use their respective best efforts to cause the Independent Auditor to make its determination as to the resolution of the Working Capital Disputed Matters (the ‘‘Auditor Working Capital Determination’’) as soon as possible, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the Working Capital Disputed Matters. The Independent Auditor shall be obligated to follow the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement regarding the determination of Average Working Capital and shall not be entitled to award an amount greater than the greatest value claimed by either party or less than the least amount claimed by either party. The Auditor Working Capital Determination shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto and shall be limited to Working Capital Disputed Matters. The Auditor Working Capital Determination shall be reflected in a written report which shall be delivered promptly by the Independent Auditor to the Representative and the Purchaser.

One-half of all fees and disbursements of the Independent Auditor shall be paid by the Purchaser and one-half of such fees and disbursements shall be paid by the Sellers. Any payment to be made as a consequence of the Auditor Working Capital Determination by the Independent Auditor shall be made, in accordance with the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 1.9(c),

The Purchaser is not in violation of any of the provisions of the Purchaser’s Charter Documents.

(b) The Purchaser is duly qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its activities makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except for such failures to be so duly qualified or licensed and in good standing that could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Purchaser. At or prior to the Closing, the Purchaser will be duly qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation and in good standing in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties acquired by it pursuant to this Agreement makes such qualification or licensing necessary.

ARTICLE VII
INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Indemnification of the Purchaser.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VII (including without limitation the limitations set forth in Section 7.4), the Purchaser, the Company and their respective representatives, successors and permitted assigns (the ‘‘Purchaser Indemnitees’’) shall be indemnified, defended and held harmless by the Sellers, but, except as otherwise provided for herein, only to the extent of the Indemnity Escrow Funds, from and against all Losses asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon, or incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitee by reason of, arising out of or resulting from:

(i) the inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of the Sellers or the Company contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement, any Schedule or any certificate delivered by the Sellers or the Company to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement with respect hereto or thereto in connection with the Closing;

(ii) the non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement of the Sellers or the Company contained in this Agreement;

(iii) [intentionally omitted];

(iv) costs in excess of $120,000 incurred by the Company in payment of, or reasonably reserved by the Company for the payment of, workers’ compensation claims arising out of events occurring prior to the Closing Date.

(b) As used in this Article VII, the term ‘‘Losses’’ shall include all losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, orders, penalties, settlements, costs and expenses (including, without

A-39




limitation, interest, penalties, court costs and reasonable legal fees and expenses) including those arising from any demands, claims, suits, actions, costs of investigation, notices of violation or noncompliance, causes of action, proceedings and assessments whether or not made by third parties or whether or not ultimately determined to be valid. Solely for the purpose of determining the amount of any Losses (and not for determining any breach) for which a Purchaser Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article VII, any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement that is qualified by a term or terms such as ‘‘material,’’ ‘‘materially,’’ or ‘‘Material Adverse Effect’’ shall be deemed made or given without such qualification and without giving effect to such words.

7.2 Indemnification of Third Party Claims.    The indemnification obligations and liabilities under this Article VII with respect to actions, proceedings, lawsuits, investigations, demands or other claims brought against the Purchaser by a Person other than the Sellers or the Company (a ‘‘Third Party Claim’’) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Notice of Claim.    The Purchaser will give the Representative prompt written notice after receiving written notice of any Third Party Claim or discovering the liability, obligation or facts giving rise to such Third Party Claim (a ‘‘Notice of Claim’’) which Notice of Third Party Claim shall set forth (i) a brief description of the nature of the Third Party Claim, (ii) the total amount of the actual out-of-pocket Loss or the anticipated potential Loss (including any costs or expenses which have been or may be reasonably incurred in connection therewith), and (iii) whether such Loss may be covered (in whole or in part) under any insurance and the estimated amount of such Loss which may be covered under such insurance, and the Representative shall be entitled to participate in the defense of Third Party Claim at its expense.

(b) Defense.    The Representative shall have the right, at its option (subject to the limitations set forth in subsection 7.2(c) below) and at its own expense, by written notice to the Purchaser, to assume the entire control of, subject to the right of the Purchaser to participate (at its expense and with counsel of its choice) in, the defense, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim as to which such Notice of Claim has been given, and shall be entitled to appoint a recognized and reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser to be the lead counsel in connection with such defense. If the Representative is permitted and elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim:

(i) the Representative shall diligently and in good faith defend such Third Party Claim and shall keep the Purchaser reasonably informed of the status of such defense; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall have the right to approve any settlement that requires any relief other than the payment of money in amounts not exceeding the amount of Indemnity Escrow Funds that are not reserved for the payment of unresolved Claims, which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned; and

(ii) the Purchaser shall cooperate fully in all respects with the Representative in any such defense, compromise or settlement thereof, including, without limitation, the selection of counsel, and the Purchaser shall make available to the Representative all pertinent information and documents under its control.

(c) Limitations of Right to Assume Defense.    The Representative shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Purchaser; or (iii) there is a reasonable probability that a Third Party Claim may materially and adversely affect the Purchaser other than as a result of money damages or other money payments.

(d) Other Limitations.    Failure to give prompt Notice of Claim or to provide copies of relevant available documents or to furnish relevant available data shall not constitute a defense (in whole or in part) to any Third Party Claim by the Purchaser against the Sellers and shall not affect the Sellers’ duty or obligations under this Article VII, except to the extent (and only to the extent that) such failure shall have adversely affected the ability of the Representative to defend

A-40




against or reduce Sellers’ liability or caused or increased such liability or otherwise caused the damages for which the Sellers obligated to be greater than such damages would have been had the Purchaser given the Representative prompt notice hereunder. So long as the Representative is defending any such action actively and in good faith, the Purchaser shall not settle such action. The Purchaser shall make available to the Representative all relevant records and other relevant materials required by Representative’s possession or under the control of the Purchaser, for the use of the Representative and its representatives in defending any such action, and shall in other respects give reasonable cooperation in such defense.

(e) Failure to Defend.    If the Representative, promptly after receiving a Notice of Claim, fails to defend such Third Party Claim actively and in good faith, the Purchaser will (upon further written notice) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim as it may determine in its reasonable discretion, provided that the Representative shall have the right to approve any settlement, which approval will not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned.

(f) Purchaser’s Rights.    Anything in this Section 7.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Representative shall not, without the written consent of the Purchaser, settle or compromise any action or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Purchaser of a full and unconditional release from all liability and obligation in respect of such action without any payment by the Purchaser.

(g) Representative Consent.    Unless the Representative has consented to a settlement of a Third Party Claim, the amount of the settlement shall not be a binding determination of the amount of the Loss and such amount shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement.

7.3 Insurance Effect.    To the extent that any Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII are covered by insurance, the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the maximum recovery under such insurance; provided that the Purchaser shall nevertheless be entitled to bring a claim for indemnification under this Article VII in respect of such Losses and the time limitations set forth in Section 7.4 hereof for bringing a claim of indemnification under this Agreement shall be tolled during the pendency of such insurance claim. The existence of a claim by the Purchaser for monies from an insurer or against a third party in respect of any Loss shall not, however, delay any payment pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained herein and otherwise determined to be due and owing by the Representative. If the Purchaser has received the payment required by this Agreement from the Representative in respect of any Loss and later receives proceeds from insurance or other amounts in respect of such Loss, then it shall hold such proceeds or other amounts in trust for the benefit of the Representative and shall pay to the Representative, as promptly as practicable after receipt, a sum equal to the amount of such proceeds or other amount received, up to the aggregate amount of any payments received from the Representative pursuant to this Agreement in respect of such Loss. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, it is the intention of the parties that no insurer or any other third party shall be (i) entitled to a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the foregoing indemnification provisions, or (ii) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims for which it is obligated.

7.4 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Survival; Time Limitation.    The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement or in any writing delivered by the Sellers or the Company to the Purchaser in connection with this Agreement (including the certificate required to be delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 6.3(a)) and the obligation of the Sellers to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(iv) shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the Indemnity Escrow Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations, warranties and covenants of the Sellers and the Company in each of Section 1.10 (Certain Seller Matters), Section 2.1(a) (Organization), Section 2.2(b) (Subsidiaries), Section 2.3 (Capitalization) and

A-41




Section 2.4 (Authority Relative to this Agreement) shall survive without limitation as to time and the representations, warranties and covenants of the Sellers in each of Sections 2.14 (Title to Property) and 2.15 (Taxes) shall survive the Closing until the sixtieth day following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. The obligation of the Sellers to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(iv) shall be in lieu of any other obligation of the Sellers to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to any representation or warranty of the Sellers and the Company relating to workers’ compensation claims.

(b) No claim for indemnification under this Article VII shall be brought after the end of the relevant period specified in Section 7.4(a). Any claim made by a Purchaser Indemnitee that is required to be made and is made prior to the expiration of the Indemnity Escrow Period shall be preserved despite the subsequent expiration of the Indemnity Escrow Period and any such claim set forth in a Notice of Claim sent prior to the expiration of the Indemnity Escrow Period shall survive until final resolution thereof.

(c) Deductible.    No amount shall be payable under Article VII unless and until the aggregate amount of all indemnifiable Losses otherwise payable exceeds $375,000 (the ‘‘Deductible’’), and then only to the extent such claims exceed the Deductible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Losses resulting with respect to the representations, warranties and covenants referred to in the next-to-last sentence of Section 7.4(a) (‘‘Surviving Matters’’) and payments required to be made pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(iv) shall not be included in the calculation of the Deductible and a Purchaser Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to such Losses and payments as though there were no Deductible.

(d) Aggregate Amount Limitation.    Except with respect to Losses arising from the Surviving Matters, the aggregate liability of the Sellers for Losses pursuant to Section 7.1 shall not in any event exceed the Indemnity Escrow Funds and the Purchaser shall have no claim against the Sellers other than for the Indemnity Escrow Funds. With respect to Losses arising from the Surviving Matters, the aggregate liability of the Sellers pursuant to Section 7.1 shall not in any event exceed the Purchase Price.

7.5 Exclusive Remedy.    The Purchaser, on behalf of itself and all other the Purchaser Indemnitees, hereby acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, its sole remedy with respect to any and all claims for money damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be pursuant and subject to the requirements of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Article VII shall in any way impair, modify or otherwise limit the Purchaser’s or the Company’s right to bring any claim, demand or suit against the other party based upon such other party’s actual fraud or intentional or willful misrepresentation or omission, it being understood that a mere breach of a representation and warranty, without intentional or willful misrepresentation or omission, does not constitute fraud.

7.6 Adjustment to Purchase Price.    Amounts paid for indemnification under Article VII shall be deemed to be an adjustment to the Purchase Price, except as otherwise required by a Legal Requirement.

7.7 Representative Capacities; Application of Indemnity Escrow Funds.    The parties acknowledge that the Representative’s obligations under this Article VII are solely as a representative of the Sellers in the manner set forth in the Escrow Agreement with respect to the obligations to indemnify the Purchaser under this Article VII and that the Representative shall have no personal responsibility for any expenses incurred by him in such capacity and that all payments to the Purchaser as a result of such indemnification obligations shall be made solely from, and to the extent of, the Indemnity Escrow Funds. Out-of-pocket expenses of the Representative for attorneys’ fees and other costs shall be borne in the first instance by the Purchaser, which may make a claim for reimbursement thereof against the Indemnity Escrow Funds upon the claim with respect to which such expenses are incurred becoming an Established Claim (as defined in the Escrow Agreement). The Escrow Agent, pursuant to the Escrow Agreement after the Closing, may apply all or a portion of the Indemnity Escrow Funds to satisfy any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VII. The

A-42




Escrow Agent will hold the remaining portion of the Indemnity Escrow Funds until final resolution of all claims for indemnification or disputes relating thereto.

(c) by either the Purchaser or the Representative if a Governmental Entity shall have issued an order, decree, judgment or ruling or taken any other action, in any case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which order, decree, ruling or other action is final and nonappealable;

(e) by the Purchaser, upon a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Company or the Sellers set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Sellers or the Company shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Article VI would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue, provided, that if such breach is curable by the Sellers or the Company prior to the Closing Date, then the Purchaser may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(e) for thirty (30) days after delivery of written notice from the Purchaser to the Representative of such breach, provided the Sellers and the Company continue to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach (it being understood that the Purchaser may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) if it shall have materially breached this Agreement or if such breach by the Sellers or the Company is cured during such thirty (30)-day period);

(f) by either the Purchaser or the Representative, if, at the Special Meeting (including any adjournments thereof), this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby shall fail to be approved and adopted by the affirmative vote of the holders of Purchaser Stock required under the Purchaser’s certificate of incorporation, or the holders of 20% or more of the number of shares of Purchaser Stock issued in the Purchaser’s initial public offering and outstanding as of the date of the record date of the Special Meeting exercise their rights to convert the shares of Purchaser Stock held by them into cash in accordance with the Purchaser’s certificate of incorporation; or

(g) by the Representative if (i) the Board of Directors of the Purchaser fails to include a recommendation that the Purchaser stockholders approve the transactions contemplated by this

Agreement in the Proxy Statement or (ii) the Board of Directors of the Purchaser withdraws or modifies, in any manner materially adverse to the Company and the Sellers, the Purchaser’s Board of Directors recommendation that the Purchaser stockholders approve the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

10.6 Other Remedies; Specific Performance.    Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. Delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right.

10.12 Arbitration.    Any disputes or claims arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Notice of a demand to arbitrate a dispute by either party shall be given in writing to the other at their last known address.

A-49




shall pay its own fees and expenses for the arbitration, except that any costs and charges imposed by the AAA and any fees of the arbitrator for his services shall be assessed against the losing party by the arbitrator. In the event that preliminary or permanent injunctive relief is necessary or desirable in order to prevent a party from acting contrary to this Agreement or to prevent irreparable harm prior to a confirmation of an arbitration award, then either party is authorized and entitled to commence a lawsuit solely to obtain equitable relief against the other pending the completion of the arbitration in a court having jurisdiction over the parties. Each party hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the State of New York, New York County, for such purpose. All rights and remedies of the parties shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies obtainable from arbitration.

A.    Preferred Stock.    The Board of Directors is expressly granted authority to issue shares of Preferred Stock, in one or more series, and to fix for each such series such voting powers, full or limited, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issue of such series (a ‘‘Preferred Stock Designation’’) and as may be permitted by the DGCL.

Except as the DGCL may otherwise require, in the interim between Annual Meetings of Stockholders or Special Meetings of Stockholders called for the election of directors and/or the removal of one or more directors and the filling of any vacancy in connection therewith, newly created directorships and any vacancies in the Board of Directors, including unfilled vacancies resulting from the removal of directors for cause, may be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, although less than a quorum (as defined in the Corporation’s Bylaws), or by the sole remaining director. All directors shall hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office and until their successors shall have been elected and qualified. A director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a director shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the director whose death, resignation or removal shall have created such vacancy and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.

SEVENTH: The following provisions are inserted for the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and for further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation and of its directors and stockholders:

A.    Election of directors need not be by ballot unless the Corporation’s Bylaws so provide.

B.    The Board of Directors shall have the power, without the assent or vote of the stockholders, to make, alter, amend, change, add to or repeal the Corporation’s Bylaws as provided in the Corporation’s Bylaws.

C.    The directors in their discretion may submit any contract or act for approval or ratification at any Annual Meeting of Stockholders or at any Special Meeting of Stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any contract or act that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation which is represented in person or by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote thereat (provided that a lawful quorum of stockholders be there represented in person or by proxy) shall be as valid and binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as though it had been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation, whether or not the contract or act would otherwise be open to legal attack because of directors’ interests, or for any other reason.

D.    In addition to the powers and authorities hereinbefore stated or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation; subject, notwithstanding, to the provisions of applicable law, this Certificate of Incorporation, and any bylaws from time to time made

B-2




by the stockholders; provided, however, that no bylaw so made shall invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have been valid if such bylaw had not been made.

EIGHTH: The following paragraphs shall apply with respect to liability and indemnification of officers and directors:

A.    A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this paragraph A by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation with respect to events occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

B.    The Corporation, to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, as amended from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding or which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized hereby.

NINTH: Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between this Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between this Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of this Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under Section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under Section 279 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs. If a majority in number representing three fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of this Corporation as a consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of stockholders, of this Corporation, as the case may be, and also on this Corporation.

For purposes of illustration and not of limitation, the Committee shall have the authority (subject to the express provisions of this Plan):

(a) to select the officers, employees, directors and consultants of the Company or any Subsidiary to whom Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock and/or Other Stock-Based Awards may from time to time be awarded hereunder.

C-2




(b) to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any award granted hereunder (including, but not limited to, number of shares, share exercise price or types of consideration paid upon exercise of such options, such as other securities of the Company or other property, any restrictions or limitations, and any vesting, exchange, surrender, cancellation, acceleration, termination, exercise or forfeiture provisions, as the Committee shall determine);

(c) to determine any specified performance goals or such other factors or criteria which need to be attained for the vesting of an award granted hereunder;

(d) to determine the terms and conditions under which awards granted hereunder are to operate on a tandem basis and/or in conjunction with or apart from other equity awarded under this Plan and cash and non-cash awards made by the Company or any Subsidiary outside of this Plan;

(e) to permit a Holder to elect to defer a payment under the Plan under such rules and procedures as the Committee may establish, including the payment or crediting of interest on deferred amounts denominated in cash and of dividend equivalents on deferred amounts denominated in Common Stock;

(h) to make payments and distributions with respect to awards (i.e., to ‘‘settle’’ awards) through cash payments in an amount equal to the Repurchase Value.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Committee shall not grant to any one Holder in any one calendar year awards for more than 600,000 shares in the aggregate.

2.3. Interpretation of Plan.

(a) Committee Authority.    Subject to Section 11, the Committee shall have the authority to adopt, alter and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan as it shall from time to time deem advisable to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any award issued under the Plan (and to determine the form and substance of all agreements relating thereto), and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan. Subject to Section 11, all decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be made in the Committee’s sole discretion and shall be final and binding upon all persons, including the Company, its Subsidiaries and Holders.

(b) Incentive Stock Options.    Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no term or provision of the Plan relating to Incentive Stock Options (including but not limited to Stock Appreciation rights granted in conjunction with an Incentive Stock Option) or any Agreement providing for Incentive Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be so exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code or, without the consent of the Holder(s) affected, to disqualify any Incentive Stock Option under such Section 422.

C-3




Section 3.    Stock Subject to Plan.

3.1. Number of Shares.    The total number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be 930,000 shares. Shares of Common Stock under the Plan (‘‘Shares’’) may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares. If any shares of Common Stock that have been granted pursuant to a Stock Option cease to be subject to a Stock Option, or if any shares of Common Stock that are subject to any Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock award, Deferred Stock award or Other Stock-Based Award granted hereunder are forfeited or any such award otherwise terminates without a payment being made to the Holder in the form of Common Stock, such shares shall again be available for distribution in connection with future grants and awards under the Plan. If a Holder pays the exercise price of a Stock Option by surrendering any previously owned shares and/or arranges to have the appropriate number of shares otherwise issuable upon exercise withheld to cover the withholding tax liability associated with the Stock Option exercise, then, in the Committee’s discretion, the number of shares available under the Plan may be increased by the lesser of (i) the number of such surrendered shares and shares used to pay taxes; and (ii) the number of shares purchased under such Stock Option.

3.2. Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization, Etc.    In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, common stock dividend payable on shares of Common Stock, Common Stock split or reverse split, combination or exchange of shares of Common Stock, or other extraordinary or unusual event which results in a change in the shares of Common Stock of the Company as a whole, the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether such change equitably requires an adjustment in the terms of any award (including number of shares subject to the award and the exercise price) or the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan. Any such adjustments will be made by the Committee, whose determination will be final, binding and conclusive.

Section 4.    Eligibility.

Awards may be made or granted to employees, officers, directors and consultants who are deemed to have rendered or to be able to render significant services to the Company or its Subsidiaries and who are deemed to have contributed or to have the potential to contribute to the success of the Company. No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any person who is not a director or employee of the Company or an employee of a Subsidiary at the time of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an award may also be made or granted to a person in connection with his hiring or retention, or at any time on or after the date he reaches an agreement (oral or written) with the Company with respect to such hiring or retention, even though it may be prior to the date the person first performs services for the Company or its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that no portion of any such award shall vest prior to the date the person first performs such services.

Section 5.    Stock Options.

5.1. Grant and Exercise.    Stock Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: (i) Incentive Stock Options and (ii) Non-qualified Stock Options. Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall contain such terms, not inconsistent with this Plan, or with respect to Incentive Stock Options, not inconsistent with the Plan and the Code, as the Committee may from time to time approve. The Committee shall have the authority to grant Incentive Stock Options or Non-qualified Stock Options, or both types of Stock Options which may be granted alone or in addition to other awards granted under the Plan. To the extent that any Stock Option intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option does not so qualify, it shall constitute a separate Non-qualified Stock Option.

5.2. Terms and Conditions.    Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Option Term.    The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee; provided, however, that an Incentive Stock Option may be granted only within the ten-year period commencing from the Effective Date and may only be exercised within ten years of the

C-4




date of grant (or five years in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an optionee who, at the time of grant, owns Common Stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of voting stock of the Company (‘‘10% Stockholder’’)).

(b) Exercise Price.    The exercise price per share of Common Stock purchasable under a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant and may not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant (or, if greater, the par value of a share of Common Stock); provided, however, that the exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a 10% Stockholder will not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.

(c) Exercisability.    Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee and as set forth in Section 10. If the Committee provides, in its discretion, that any Stock Option is exercisable only in installments, i.e., that it vests over time, the Committee may waive such installment exercise provisions at any time at or after the time of grant in whole or in part, based upon such factors as the Committee determines.

(d) Method of Exercise.    Subject to whatever installment, exercise and waiting period provisions are applicable in a particular case, Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the term of the Option by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price, which shall be in cash or, if provided in the Agreement, either in shares of Common Stock (including Restricted Stock and other contingent awards under this Plan) or partly in cash and partly in such Common Stock, or such other means which the Committee determines are consistent with the Plan’s purpose and applicable law. Cash payments shall be made by wire transfer, certified or bank check or personal check, in each case payable to the order of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to deliver certificates for shares of Common Stock with respect to which an Option is exercised until the Company has confirmed the receipt of good and available funds in payment of the purchase price thereof (except that, in the case of an exercise arrangement approved by the Committee and described in the last sentence of this paragraph, payment may be made as soon as practicable after the exercise).

(e) Stock Payments.    Payments in the form of Common Stock shall be valued at the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise. Such payments shall be made by delivery of stock certificates in negotiable form that are effective to transfer good and valid title thereto to the Company, free of any liens or encumbrances. A Holder shall have none of the rights of a Stockholder with respect to the shares subject to the Option until such shares shall be transferred to the Holder upon the exercise of the Option. The Committee may permit a Holder to elect to pay the Exercise Price upon the exercise of a Stock Option by irrevocably authorizing a third party to sell shares of Common Stock (or a sufficient portion of the shares) acquired upon exercise of the Stock Option and remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire Exercise Price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise.

(f) Transferability.    Except as may be set forth in the next sentence of this Section or in the Agreement, no Stock Option shall be transferable by the Holder other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the Holder’s lifetime, only by the Holder (or, to the extent of legal incapacity or incompetency, the Holder’s guardian or legal representative). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder, with the approval of the Committee, may transfer a Stock Option (i) (A) by gift, for no consideration, or (B) pursuant to a domestic relations order, in either case, to or for the benefit of the Holder’s ‘‘Immediate Family’’ (as defined below), or (ii) to an entity in which the Holder and/or members of Holder’s Immediate Family own more than fifty percent of the voting interest, in exchange for an interest in that entity, subject to such limits as the Committee may establish and the execution of such documents as the Committee may require, and the transferee shall remain subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to the Stock Option prior to such transfer. The term ‘‘Immediate

C-5




Family’’ shall mean any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the Holder’s household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which these persons have more than fifty percent beneficial interest, and a foundation in which these persons (or the Holder) control the management of the assets.

(g) Termination by Reason of Death.    If a Holder’s employment by the Company or a Subsidiary terminates by reason of death, any Stock Option held by such Holder, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement, shall thereupon automatically terminate, except that the portion of such Stock Option that has vested on the date of death may thereafter be exercised by the legal representative of the estate or by the legatee of the Holder under the will of the Holder, for a period of one year (or such other greater or lesser period as the Committee may specify in the Agreement) from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter.

(h) Termination by Reason of Disability.    If a Holder’s employment by the Company or any Subsidiary terminates by reason of Disability, any Stock Option held by such Holder, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement, shall thereupon automatically terminate, except that the portion of such Stock Option that has vested on the date of termination may thereafter be exercised by the Holder for a period of one year (or such other greater or lesser period as the Committee may specify in the Agreement) from the date of such termination of employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter.

(i) Termination by Reason of Normal Retirement.    Subject to the provisions of Section 13.3, if such Holder’s employment or retention by, or association with, the Company or any Subsidiary terminates due to Normal Retirement, then the portion of such Stock Option that has vested on the date of termination of employment may be exercised for the lesser of one year after termination of employment (or such other greater or lesser period as the Committee may specify in the Agreement) or the balance of such Stock Option’s term.

(j) Other Termination.    Subject to the provisions of Section 13.3, and unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement, if such Holder’s employment or retention by, or association with, the Company or any Subsidiary terminates for any reason other than death or Disability, the Stock Option shall thereupon automatically terminate, except that if the Holder’s employment is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary without cause, then the portion of such Stock Option that has vested on the date of termination of employment may be exercised for the lesser of three months after termination of employment or the balance of such Stock Option’s term.

(k) Additional Incentive Stock Option Limitation.    In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the aggregate Fair Market Value (on the date of grant of the Option) with respect to which Incentive Stock Options become exercisable for the first time by a Holder during any calendar year (under all such plans of the Company and its Parent and Subsidiaries) shall not exceed $100,000.

(l) Buyout and Settlement Provisions.    The Committee may at any time, in its sole discretion, offer to repurchase a Stock Option previously granted, based upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish and communicate to the Holder at the time that such offer is made.

Section 6.    Stock Appreciation Rights.

6.1. Grant and Exercise.    Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Administrator may grant SARs in tandem with an Option or alone and unrelated to an Option. The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights to participants who have been or are being granted Stock Options under the Plan as a means of allowing such participants to exercise their Stock Options without the

C-6




need to pay the exercise price in cash. In the case of a Non-qualified Stock Option, a Stock Appreciation Right may be granted either at or after the time of the grant of such Non-qualified Stock Option. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, a Stock Appreciation Right may be granted only at the time of the grant of such Incentive Stock Option.

6.2. Terms and Conditions.    Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Exercisability.    Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement, subject to the limitations, if any, imposed by the Code with respect to related Incentive Stock Options.

(b) Termination.    A Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate and shall no longer be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related Stock Option.

(c) Method of Exercise.    Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable upon such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement and by surrendering the applicable portion of the related Stock Option. Upon such exercise and surrender, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the SAR Value divided by the Fair Market Value on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised.

(d) Shares Affected Upon Plan.    The granting of a Stock Appreciation Right shall not affect the number of shares of Common Stock available for awards under the Plan. The number of shares available for awards under the Plan will, however, be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of the Stock Option to which such Stock Appreciation Right relates.

Section 7.    Restricted Stock.

7.1. Grant.    Shares of Restricted Stock may be awarded either alone or in addition to other awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted Stock will be awarded, the number of shares to be awarded, the price (if any) to be paid by the Holder, the time or times within which such awards may be subject to forfeiture (‘‘Restriction Period’’), the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof and all other terms and conditions of the awards.

7.2. Terms and Conditions.    Each Restricted Stock award shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Certificates.    Restricted Stock, when issued, will be represented by a stock certificate or certificates registered in the name of the Holder to whom such Restricted Stock shall have been awarded. During the Restriction Period, certificates representing the Restricted Stock and any securities constituting Retained Distributions (as defined below) shall bear a legend to the effect that ownership of the Restricted Stock (and such Retained Distributions) and the enjoyment of all rights appurtenant thereto are subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions provided in the Plan and the Agreement. Such certificates shall be deposited by the Holder with the Company, together with stock powers or other instruments of assignment, each endorsed in blank, which will permit transfer to the Company of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock and any securities constituting Retained Distributions that shall be forfeited or that shall not become vested in accordance with the Plan and the Agreement.

(b) Rights of Holder.    Restricted Stock shall constitute issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock for all corporate purposes. The Holder will have the right to vote such Restricted Stock, to receive and retain all regular cash dividends and other cash equivalent distributions as the Board may in its sole discretion designate, pay or distribute on such Restricted Stock and to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a holder of Common Stock with respect to such Restricted Stock, with the exceptions that (i) the Holder will not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate or certificates representing such Restricted Stock until the Restriction Period shall

C-7




have expired and unless all other vesting requirements with respect thereto shall have been fulfilled; (ii) the Company will retain custody of the stock certificate or certificates representing the Restricted Stock during the Restriction Period; (iii) other than regular cash dividends and other cash equivalent distributions as the Board may in its sole discretion designate, pay or distribute, the Company will retain custody of all distributions (‘‘Retained Distributions’’) made or declared with respect to the Restricted Stock (and such Retained Distributions will be subject to the same restrictions, terms and conditions as are applicable to the Restricted Stock) until such time, if ever, as the Restricted Stock with respect to which such Retained Distributions shall have been made, paid or declared shall have become vested and with respect to which the Restriction Period shall have expired; (iv) a breach of any of the restrictions, terms or conditions contained in this Plan or the Agreement or otherwise established by the Committee with respect to any Restricted Stock or Retained Distributions will cause a forfeiture of such Restricted Stock and any Retained Distributions with respect thereto.

(c) Vesting; Forfeiture.    Upon the expiration of the Restriction Period with respect to each award of Restricted Stock and the satisfaction of any other applicable restrictions, terms and conditions (i) all or part of such Restricted Stock shall become vested in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, subject to Section 10, and (ii) any Retained Distributions with respect to such Restricted Stock shall become vested to the extent that the Restricted Stock related thereto shall have become vested, subject to Section 10. Any such Restricted Stock and Retained Distributions that do not vest shall be forfeited to the Company and the Holder shall not thereafter have any rights with respect to such Restricted Stock and Retained Distributions that shall have been so forfeited.

Section 8.    Deferred Stock.

8.1. Grant.    Shares of Deferred Stock may be awarded either alone or in addition to other awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the eligible persons to whom and the time or times at which grants of Deferred Stock will be awarded, the number of shares of Deferred Stock to be awarded to any person, the duration of the period (‘‘Deferral Period’’) during which, and the conditions under which, receipt of the shares will be deferred, and all the other terms and conditions of the awards.

8.2. Terms and Conditions.    Each Deferred Stock award shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Certificates.    At the expiration of the Deferral Period (or the Additional Deferral Period referred to in Section 8.2 (d), where applicable), share certificates shall be issued and delivered to the Holder, or his legal representative, representing the number equal to the shares covered by the Deferred Stock award.

Section 10.    Accelerated Vesting and Exercisability.

10.1. Non-Approved Transactions.    If any ‘‘person’’ (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), is or becomes the ‘‘beneficial owner’’ (as referred in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities in one or more transactions, and the Board does not authorize or otherwise approve such acquisition, then the vesting periods of any and all Stock Options and other awards granted and outstanding under the Plan shall be accelerated and all such Stock Options and awards will immediately and entirely vest, and the respective holders thereof will have the immediate right to purchase and/or receive any and all Common Stock subject to such Stock Options and awards on the terms set forth in this Plan and the respective agreements respecting such Stock Options and awards.

Approved Transactions.    The Committee may, in the event of an acquisition of substantially all of the Company’s assets or at least 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities in one or more transactions (including by way of merger or reorganization) which has been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, (i) accelerate the vesting of any and all Stock Options and other awards granted and outstanding under the Plan, or (ii) require a Holder of any award granted under this Plan to relinquish such award to the Company upon the tender by the Company to Holder of cash in an amount equal to the Repurchase Value of such award.

10.3. Code Section 409A.    Notwithstanding any provisions of this Plan or any award granted hereunder to the contrary, no acceleration shall occur with respect to any award to the extent such acceleration would cause the Plan or an award granted hereunder to fail to comply with Code Section 409A.

Section 11.    Amendment and Termination.

Code Section 162(m) Provisions.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if the Committee determines at the time a stock award is granted to a grantee that such grantee is, or may be as of the end of the tax year for which the Company would claim a tax deduction in connection with such stock award, a ‘‘covered employee’’ within the meaning of Section 162(m)(3) of the Code, and to the extent the Committee considers it desirable for compensation delivered pursuant to such Stock Award to be eligible to qualify for an exemption from the limit on tax deductibility of compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, then the Committee may provide that this Section 11 is applicable to such stock award under such terms as the Committee shall determine.

C-9




(ii) If a Stock Award is subject to this Section 11, then the lapsing of restrictions thereon and the distribution of Shares pursuant thereto, as applicable, shall be subject to satisfaction of one, or more than one, objective performance targets. The Committee shall determine the performance targets that will be applied with respect to each stock award subject to this Section 11 at the time of grant, but in no event later than 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the performance target(s) relate (or the expiration of 25% of the performance period, if earlier). The performance criteria applicable to stock awards subject to this Section 11 will be one or more of the following criteria: (A) stock price; (B) average annual growth in earnings per share; (C) earnings per share; (D) net income; (E) return on assets; (F) return on shareholders’ equity; (G) increase in cash flow; (H) operating profit or operating margins; (I) revenue growth of the Company.

(iii) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the plan, the Committee may not increase the number of shares granted pursuant to any stock award subject to this Section 11, nor may it waive the achievement of any performance target established pursuant to this Section 11.

(iv) Prior to the payment of any stock award subject to this Section 11, the Committee shall certify in writing that the performance target(s) applicable to such Stock Award was met.

(v) The Committee shall have the power to impose such other restrictions on stock awards subject to this Section 11 as it may deem necessary or appropriate to ensure that such stock awards satisfy all requirements for ‘‘performance-based compensation’’ within the meaning of Code section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, the regulations promulgated thereunder, and any successors thereto.

Section 12.    Amendment and Termination.

The Board may at any time, and from time to time, amend alter, suspend or discontinue any of the provisions of the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuance shall be made that would impair the rights of a Holder under any Agreement theretofore entered into hereunder, without the Holder’s consent, except as set forth in this Plan.

Section 13.    Term of Plan.

13.1. Effective Date.    The Plan shall be effective as of the date of the closing of the acquisition of substantially all of the assets, and the assumption of certain liabilities, of Clark Holdings Inc. (‘‘Clark’’).

13.2. Termination Date.    Unless terminated by the Board, this Plan shall continue to remain effective until such time as no further awards may be granted and all awards granted under the Plan are no longer outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, grants of Incentive Stock Options may be made only during the ten-year period following the Effective Date.

Section 14.    General Provisions.

14.1. Written Agreements.    Each award granted under the Plan shall be confirmed by, and shall be subject to the terms of, the Agreement executed by the Company and the Holder, or such other document as may be determined by the Committee. The Committee may terminate any award made under the Plan if the Agreement relating thereto is not executed and returned to the Company within 10 days after the Agreement has been delivered to the Holder for his or her execution.

14.2. Unfunded Status of Plan.    The Plan is intended to constitute an ‘‘unfunded’’ plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Holder by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Holder any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.

14.3. Employees.

(a) Engaging in Competition With the Company; Solicitation of Customers and Employees; Disclosure of Confidential Information.    If a Holder’s employment with the Company or a

C-10




Subsidiary is terminated for any reason whatsoever, and within 12 months after the date thereof such Holder either (i) accepts employment with any competitor of, or otherwise engages in competition with, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) solicits any customers or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to do business with or render services to the Holder or any business with which the Holder becomes affiliated or to which the Holder renders services or (iii) uses or discloses to anyone outside the Company any confidential information or material of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in violation of the Company’s policies or any agreement between the Holder and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may require such Holder to return to the Company the economic value of any award (profit) that was realized or obtained by such Holder at any time during the period beginning on the date that is six months prior to the date such Holder’s employment with the Company is terminated. In such event, Holder agrees to remit to the Company, in cash, an amount equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of termination (or the sales price of such Shares if the Shares were sold during such six month period) and the price the Holder paid the Company for such Shares.

(b) Termination for Cause.    The Committee may, if a Holder’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated for cause, annul any award granted under this Plan to such employee and, in such event, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may require such Holder to return to the Company the economic value of any award (profit) that was realized or obtained by such Holder at any time during the period beginning on that date that is six months prior to the date such Holder’s employment with the Company is terminated. In such event, Holder agrees to remit to the Company, in cash, an amount equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of termination (or the sales price of such Shares if the Shares were sold during such six month period) and the price the Holder paid the Company for such Shares.

(c) No Right of Employment.    Nothing contained in the Plan or in any award hereunder shall be deemed to confer upon any Holder who is an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary any right to continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any Holder who is an employee at any time.

14.4. Investment Representations; Company Policy.    The Committee may require each person acquiring shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Stock Option or other award under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that the Holder is acquiring the shares for investment without a view to distribution thereof. Each person acquiring shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Stock Option or other award under the Plan shall be required to abide by all policies of the Company in effect at the time of such acquisition and thereafter with respect to the ownership and trading of the Company’s securities.

14.5. Additional Incentive Arrangements.    Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting such other or additional incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, the granting of Stock Options and the awarding of Common Stock and cash otherwise than under the Plan; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

14.6. Withholding Taxes.    Not later than the date as of which an amount must first be included in the gross income of the Holder for Federal income tax purposes with respect to any Stock Option or other award under the Plan, the Holder shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any Federal, state and local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld or paid with respect to such amount. If permitted by the Committee, tax withholding or payment obligations may be settled with Common Stock, including Common Stock that is part of the award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditioned upon such payment or arrangements and the Company or the Holder’s employer (if not the Company) shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Holder from the Company or any Subsidiary.

C-11




14.7. Governing Law.    The Plan and all awards made and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to choice of law provisions).

14.8. Other Benefit Plans.    Any award granted under the Plan shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits under any retirement plan of the Company or any Subsidiary and shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan now or subsequently in effect under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to the level of compensation (unless required by specific reference in any such other plan to awards under this Plan).

14.9. Non-Transferability.    Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or the Agreement, no right or benefit under the Plan may be alienated, sold, assigned, hypothecated, pledged, exchanged, transferred, encumbranced or charged, and any attempt to alienate, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge, exchange, transfer, encumber or charge the same shall be void.

14.10. Applicable Laws.    The obligations of the Company with respect to all Stock Options and awards under the Plan shall be subject to (i) all applicable laws, rules and regulations and such approvals by any governmental agencies as may be required, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933 (the ‘‘Securities Act’’), as amended, and (ii) the rules and regulations of any securities exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed.

14.11. Conflicts.    If any of the terms or provisions of the Plan or an Agreement conflict with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, then such terms or provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the extent they so conflict with such requirements. Additionally, if this Plan or any Agreement does not contain any provision required to be included herein under Section 422 of the Code, such provision shall be deemed to be incorporated herein and therein with the same force and effect as if such provision had been set out at length herein and therein. If any of the terms or provisions of any Agreement conflict with any terms or provisions of the Plan, then such terms or provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the extent they so conflict with the requirements of the Plan. Additionally, if any Agreement does not contain any provision required to be included therein under the Plan, such provision shall be deemed to be incorporated therein with the same force and effect as if such provision had been set out at length therein.

14.12. Certain Awards Deferring or Accelerating the Receipt of Compensation.    To the extent applicable, all awards granted, and all agreements entered into, under the Plan are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code, which was added by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and relates to deferred compensation under nonqualified deferred compensation plans. The Committee, in administering the Plan, intends, and the parties entering into any agreement intend, to restrict provisions of any awards that may constitute deferred receipt of compensation subject to Code Section 409A requirements to those consistent with this section. The Board may amend the Plan to comply with Code Section 409A in the future.

14.13. Non-Registered Stock.    The shares of Common Stock to be distributed under this Plan have not been, as of the Effective Date, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any applicable state or foreign securities laws and the Company has no obligation to any Holder to register the Common Stock or to assist the Holder in obtaining an exemption from the various registration requirements, or to list the Common Stock on a national securities exchange or any other trading or quotation system, including the American Stock Exchange.

The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall have given its prior written consent thereto.

(f) The Escrow Agent may resign at any time and be discharged from its duties as escrow agent hereunder by its giving the other parties hereto written notice and such resignation shall become effective as hereinafter provided. Such resignation shall become effective at such time that the Escrow Agent shall turn over the Escrow Fund to a successor escrow agent appointed jointly by Purchaser and the Representative.

D-5

(h) The Escrow Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless by Purchaser from and against any expenses, including counsel fees and disbursements, or loss suffered by the Escrow Agent in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding involving any claim which in any way, directly or indirectly, arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services of the Escrow Agent hereunder, or the Escrow Fund held by it hereunder, other than expenses or losses arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent. Promptly after the receipt by the Escrow Agent of notice of any demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, the Escrow Agent shall notify the other parties hereto in writing. In the event of the receipt of such notice, the Escrow Agent, in its sole discretion, may commence an action in the nature of interpleader in an appropriate court to determine ownership or disposition of the Escrow Fund or it may deposit the Escrow Fund with the clerk of any appropriate court and be relieved of any liability with respect thereto or it may retain the Escrow Fund pending receipt of a final, non-appealable order of a court having jurisdiction over all of the parties hereto directing to whom and under what circumstances the Escrow Fund are to be disbursed and delivered.

(i) The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to reasonable compensation from Purchaser for all services rendered by it hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall also be entitled to reimbursement from Purchaser for all expenses paid or incurred by it in the administration of its duties hereunder including, but not limited to, all counsel, advisors’ and agents’ fees and disbursements and all taxes or other governmental charges.

(j) From time to time on and after the date hereof, Purchaser and the Representative shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent such further documents and instruments and shall do or cause to be done such further acts as the Escrow Agent shall reasonably request to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Agreement, to evidence compliance herewith or to assure itself that it is protected in acting hereunder.

(k) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Escrow Agent shall not be relieved from liability hereunder for its own gross negligence or its own willful misconduct.

11. No Implied Duties.    This Agreement expressly sets forth all the duties of the Escrow Agent with respect to any and all matters pertinent hereto. No implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by the provisions of any agreement among the parties hereto except this Agreement and shall have no duty to inquire into the terms and conditions of any agreement made or entered into in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Purchase Agreement.

ANNEX E


   

May 18, 2007

The Board of Directors
Global Logistics Acquisition Corporation
330 Madison Avenue
6th Floor
New York, NY 10017

Gentlemen:

We have been advised that Global Logistics Acquisition Corporation (‘‘Global’’) is seeking to acquire all of the outstanding stock of the Clark Group, Inc. (‘‘Clark’’) as set forth in Stock Purchase Agreement, draft dated May 14, 2007 (the ‘‘SPA’’) (the ‘‘Transaction’’). Pursuant to the SPA, Global will pay $75 million, subject to working capital adjustments (the ‘‘Purchase Price), to the stockholders of Clark. The Purchase Price shall consist of approximately $72.5 million in cash and approximately $2.5 million in Global common stock issued based on the 10-day average Global stock price prior to the signing of the definitive agreement. Pursuant to the SPA, Clark management will use their best efforts to discontinue or dispose of their operations in the United Kingdom as promptly as possible. All expenses incurred by Clark in effecting the discontinuance or disposal of such operations whether before or after the closing, shall be reimbursed by Clark stockholders. The terms and conditions of the Transaction are more specifically set forth in the SPA.

We have been retained to render an opinion as to whether, on the date of such opinion, (i) the Purchase Price is fair, from a financial point of view, to Global’s stockholders, and (ii) the fair market value of Clark is at least equal to 80% of the balance in Global’s trust account at the time of the acquisition.

We have not been requested to opine as to, and our opinion does not in any manner address, the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any alternative business strategy that might exist for Global, the decision of whether Global should complete the Transaction, and other alternatives to the Transaction that might exist for Global. The financial terms and other terms of the Transaction were determined pursuant to negotiations between Global, Clark and each of their respective financial advisors, and not pursuant to our recommendations.

Mergers & Acquisitions | Fairness Opinions & Valuations | Restructuring | Capital Raising | Financial Advisory

E-1




In arriving at our opinion, we took into account an assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions as well as our experience in connection with similar transactions and securities valuations generally and, among other things:

  Reviewed the SPA.
  Reviewed publicly available financial information and other data with respect to Global that we deemed relevant, including the Prospectus on Form 424B4 filed February 16, 2006, the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
  Reviewed non-public information and other data with respect to Clark, including audited financial statements for the four fiscal periods ended on the Saturday closest to December 31, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively, unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended April 1, 2007, financial projections (excluding any revenue or expenses from Clark’s operations in the United Kingdom) for the four fiscal periods ending on the Saturday closest to December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively, and other internal financial information and management reports.
  Considered the historical financial results and present financial condition of Clark.
  Reviewed and compared the trading of, and the trading market for Global’s common stock and units.
  Reviewed and analyzed the Purchase Price.
  Reviewed and analyzed Clark’s projected unlevered free cash flows and prepared a discounted cash flow analysis.
  Reviewed and analyzed certain financial characteristics of publicly-traded companies that were deemed to have characteristics comparable to Clark.
  Reviewed and analyzed certain financial characteristics of target companies in transactions where such target company was deemed to have characteristics comparable to that of Clark.
  Reviewed and compared the balance of Global’s trust account to the indicated enterprise value range of Clark.
  Reviewed and discussed with representatives of Global and Clark management certain financial and operating information furnished by them, including financial projections and analyses with respect to Clark’s business and operations.
  Performed such other analyses and examinations as were deemed appropriate.

In arriving at our opinion we have relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information that was used by us without assuming any responsibility for any independent verification of any such information and we have further relied upon the assurances of Global and Clark management that they were not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make any such information inaccurate or misleading. With respect to the financial information and projections utilized, we assumed that such information has been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments, and that such information provides a reasonable basis upon which we could make our analysis and form an opinion. We have not evaluated the solvency or fair value of Global or Clark under any foreign, state or federal laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. We have not made a physical inspection of the properties and facilities of Clark and have not made or obtained any evaluations or appraisals of Clark’s assets and liabilities (contingent or otherwise). In addition, we have not attempted to confirm whether Global or Clark have good title to their respective assets.

We assumed that the Transaction will be consummated in a manner that complies in all respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and all other applicable foreign, federal and state statutes, rules and regulations. We assumed that the Transaction will be consummated substantially in accordance with the terms set

E-2




forth in the SPA, without any further amendments thereto, and without waiver by Global of any of the conditions to any obligations or in the alternative that any such amendments, revisions or waivers thereto will not be detrimental to Global or its stockholders in any material respect.

Our analysis and opinion are necessarily based upon market, economic and other conditions, as they exist on, and could be evaluated as of, May 18, 2007. Accordingly, although subsequent developments may affect our opinion, we do not assume any obligation to update, review or reaffirm our opinion.

Our opinion is for the use and benefit of the Board of Directors of Global in connection with its consideration of the Transaction and is not intended to be and does not constitute an opinion or recommendation to any stockholder of Global as to how such stockholder should vote with respect to the Transaction. We do not express any opinion as to the underlying valuation or future performance of Global or Clark, or the price at which Global’s securities might trade at any time in the future.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date of this letter, (i) the Purchase Price is fair, from a financial point of view, to Global’s stockholders, and (ii) the fair market value of Clark is at least equal to 80% of the balance in Global’s trust account at the time of the acquisition.

In connection with our services, we have previously received a retainer and will receive the balance of our fee when we notify Global that we are prepared to deliver the opinion. Our fee for providing the fairness opinion is not contingent on the completion of the Transaction. Neither Capitalink nor its principals beneficially own any interest in Global or Clark. Further, Capitalink has not provided any other services to Global or Clark in the past. In addition, Global has agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities that may arise out of the rendering this opinion.

In the ordinary course of business, Capitalink’s affiliate Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. (‘‘Ladenburg’’), certain of Ladenburg’s affiliates, as well as investment funds in which they may have financial interests, may acquire, hold or sell, long or short positions, or trade or otherwise effect transactions, in debt, equity, and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, or investments in, Global, any other party that may be involved in the Transaction and their respective affiliates.

Our opinion is for the use and benefit of the Board of Directors of Global and is rendered in connection with its consideration of the Transaction and may not be used by Global for any other purpose or reproduced, disseminated, quoted or referred to by Global at any time, in any manner or for any purpose, without our prior written consent, except that this opinion may be reproduced in full in, and references to the opinion and to us and our relationship with Global may be included in filings made by Global with the Securities and Exchange Commission, if required by Securities and Exchange Commission rules, and in any proxy statement or similar disclosure document disseminated to stockholders if required by the Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

Very truly yours,

Capitalink, L.C.

Re: Purchase of The Clark Group, Inc.

Dear Sirs:

We have acted as counsel to Global Logistics Acquisition Corporation (‘‘GLAC’’), a corporation organized under the laws of the state of Delaware, in connection with the proposed purchase of all of the outstanding capital stock of The Clark Group, Inc. (‘‘Clark’’), a Delaware corporation. You have requested our opinion in connection with the federal income tax consequences of the proposed stock purchase to GLAC and the stockholders of GLAC.

FACTS

The relevant facts are set forth in the proxy statement File No.                     originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July         , 2007 (the (‘‘Proxy Statement’’), and the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 28, 2007, among GLAC, Clark and stockholders of Clark. For purposes of this opinion we have assumed and rely upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties and other information contained in the aforesaid documents.

The summary of the facts are as follows: GLAC was organized September 1, 2005 to effect a business combination with an operating business, transportation and logistics industry. Its assets consist primarily of cash in a trust account. The outstanding common stock, warrants and unit of GLAC are traded on AMEX. Clark, founded in 1957, is a leading provider of mission-critical supply chain solutions to the print media industry.

Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, GLAC will purchase all of the outstanding capital stock of Clark from Clark’s stockholders for a total consideration of $75,000,000 (of which $72,527,472.53 will be paid in cash and $2,472,527.47 will be paid by the issuance of 320,276 shares of GLAC common stock valued at $7.72 per share).

Holders of Clark common stock have the right to vote against the acquisition of Clark and demand that GLAC convert such shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account.

THE LAW

Internal Revenue Code (‘‘IRC’’) Section 61 provides that gross income includes ‘‘gains derived from dealings in property.’’ IRC Section 1001 provides that gain or loss shall be recognized on ‘‘the sale or exchange of property’’ and gain shall be the excess of the amount realized from the sale or other disposition of property over the adjusted basis’’ of the property. IRC Section 1222(3) defines ‘‘long-term capital gain’’ as gain from the sale or exchange of a capital asset held for more than 1 year.

OPINION

Assuming that the above factual statements are the same on the closing date, our opinion of the Federal income tax consequences of the proposed acquisition to GLAC and GLAC stockholders, based upon existing provisions of the IRC, is:

1.    No gain or loss will be recognized by GLAC as a result of the acquisition.

2.    No gain or loss will recognized by stockholders of GLAC if their conversion rights are not exercised.

3.    A stockholder of GLAC who exercises conversion rights and effects a termination of the stockholder’s interest in GLAC will generally be required to recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of that stockholder’s shares of common stock of GLAC for cash. Such gain or loss will be measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and the tax basis of that stockholder=s shares of GLAC common stock. This gain or loss will generally be a capital gain or loss if such shares were held as a capital asset on the date of the acquisition and will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period for the share of GLAC common stock is more than one year.

This opinion is furnished to you for your benefit in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement and may not be relied upon by any other person or used for any other purpose without our prior written consent.

G-3




competition may not occur for several years after the date hereof. Accordingly, Executive covenants and agrees that, during the term of this Agreement (including any renewals thereof) and for a period of two (2) years after the last payment that Executive receives hereunder as a result of termination for cause as defined in Section 5(a) or the voluntary termination of his employment by Executive pursuant to Section 5(b) and for a period of one (1) year after the last payment that Executive receives hereunder as a result of termination without cause pursuant to Section 5(d) or a fundamental change pursuant to Section 5(e), Executive will not, in the United States and Canada, either directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or as a proprietor, partner, agent, broker, consultant, lender, guarantor, shareholder (other than ownership of less than one percent (1%) of the stock of a publicly-owned corporation whose shares are listed and traded on a national securities exchange), director, officer or in any other capacity or manner whatsoever, without the prior written consent of the Company, engage in any activity in which the Company is engaged prior to or at the time of, as applicable, the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company.

On the Termination Date, Executive shall receive payment for all accrued salary through the Termination Date, after which no further compensation of any kind or severance payment will be payable under this Agreement.

(c) Termination upon Disability.    The Company may terminate Executive’s employment in the event Executive suffers a disability that renders Executive unable to perform the essential functions of his position, even with reasonable accommodation in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, for six consecutive months within any twelve month period. After the Termination Date, which in this event shall be the date upon which notice of termination is given, no further compensation will be payable under this Agreement.

(d) Termination Without Cause.    The Company may terminate Executive’s employment without ‘‘cause’’ (as defined above) at any time upon 30 days’ prior written notice. On the Termination Date, Executive shall receive payment for all accrued salary through the Termination Date and thereafter the Company shall pay Executive severance for twelve months or through the term of this Agreement, whichever is longer, at the rate Executive is then being compensated. Standard withholdings for taxes and social security and the like shall be deducted from the severance payment. The severance shall be payable in equal installments on each of the Company’s regular payroll dates during the severance period commencing on the first such payroll date following the Termination Date. In addition, medical, dental, prescription and life insurance benefits shall continue to be provided, at the cost of the Company, during the period of severance payments or though the remaining term of this Agreement, whichever is greater. Any cash bonuses or other payments that would have been earned in the fiscal year in which Executive is terminated will be paid to Executive on a pro rata basis at the same time as other executives receive such bonuses or payments.

(e) Fundamental Changes.    If the Company (i) materially diminishes Executive’s duties, authority, or responsibility, (ii) reduces Executive’s compensation, or (iii) breaches this Agreement in any material respect, Executive may terminate his employment provided that the Executive has given the Company 15 days’ written notice prior to such termination and the Company has not cured such diminution or breach, as the case may be, by the end of such 15-day period. If the Company relocates its corporate offices outside a triangular area formed by Princeton, New Jersey, Doylestown, Pennsylvania, and Langhorne, Pennsylvania, then after one year Executive may terminate his employment provided that the Executive has given the Company 90 days’ written notice prior to such termination. A termination under the circumstances set forth in this subsection (e) shall be treated as a Company termination without cause, and Executive shall be entitled to the severance payments provided in Section 5(d).

6.    Proprietary Information Obligations.    Executive will execute, or has executed and hereby ratifies and affirms his obligations under, the Company’s standard form non-disclosure agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

7.    Noninterference.    While employed by the Company and for the period of two years thereafter, Executive agrees not to interfere with the business of the Company by directly or indirectly soliciting, attempting to solicit, inducing, or otherwise causing any employee who is an employee of the Company at the time of such solicitation to terminate his or her employment in order to become an employee, consultant or independent contractor to or for any other employer.

8.    Noncompetition.    Executive acknowledges that his employment pursuant to this Agreement will give him the opportunity to maintain the business relationships with book and magazine printers and publishers located in the United States and Canada that he developed prior to the sale of The Clark Group, Inc., as a result of which Executive will be able to adversely affect the goodwill of the Company’s business if he competes against it after the end of his employment, even though such

H-3




competition may not occur for several years after the date hereof. Accordingly, Executive covenants and agrees that, during the term of this Agreement (including any renewals thereof) and for a period of two (2) years after the last payment that Executive receives hereunder as a result of termination for cause as defined in Section 5(a) or the voluntary termination of his employment by Executive pursuant to Section 5(b) and for a period of one (1) year after the last payment that Executive receives hereunder as a result of termination without cause pursuant to Section 5(d) or a fundamental change pursuant to Section 5(e), Executive will not, in the United States and Canada, either directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or as a proprietor, partner, agent, broker, consultant, lender, guarantor, shareholder (other than ownership of less than one percent (1%) of the stock of a publicly-owned corporation whose shares are listed and traded on a national securities exchange), director, officer or in any other capacity or manner whatsoever, without the prior written consent of the Company, engage in any activity in which the Company is engaged prior to or at the time of, as applicable, the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company.

9.    Remedies.    Executive acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by Executive of any of the provisions of Sections 6, 7, or 8 will result in the Company suffering irreparable harm that cannot be calculated or fully or adequately compensated by recovery of damages alone. Accordingly, Executive agrees that the Company shall be entitled to interim, interlocutory and permanent injunctive relief, specific performance and other equitable remedies, in addition to any other relief to which the Company may become entitled should there be such a breach or threatened breach.

(e) Successors and Assigns.    This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive and the Company, and their respective successors and assigns, except that Executive may not assign any of his duties hereunder and he may not assign any of his rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company.

No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

Nothing herein set forth shall prevent the parties hereto from settling any dispute by mutual agreement at any time.
