On April 2, 2026, Jude M. Beres notified Universal Logistics Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), of his resignation as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company, effective May 29, 2026, in order to pursue other opportunities outside the transportation and logistics industry. Mr. Beres' resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices. Mr. Beres is expected to remain with the Company through May 29, 2026 to assist in the transition of his responsibilities.

In connection with Mr. Beres' resignation, on April 7, 2026, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Michael Rogers, age 59, to serve as the Company's Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, effective June 1, 2026.

In connection with his appointment, the Company has agreed to the principal terms of Mr. Rogers' compensation arrangements. Effective as of June 1, 2026, Mr. Rogers will receive a base salary of $425,100 annually which, subject to his continued employment with the Company, increases to $500,000 in June 2027. Mr. Rogers also will be eligible to participate in the Company's annual cash incentive compensation program and, for 2026, will be eligible to receive a minimum cash bonus of $300,000, payable in October 2026.

In addition, effective as of June 1, 2026, Mr. Rogers will be eligible to receive a restricted stock award with an aggregate grant date value of approximately $127,500, subject to approval by the Board of Directors and the terms of the Company's equity incentive plan and applicable award agreements. The restricted stock award would vest over a four-year period, with 25% vesting on each anniversary of the grant date, subject to Mr. Rogers' continued employment.

Mr. Rogers also will be entitled to participate in the Company's employee benefit plans and programs generally available to senior executives of the Company, including health, dental, vision, disability, life insurance, and paid time off benefits.

The Company and Mr. Rogers are in the process of negotiating and finalizing a definitive written employment agreement and related award agreements reflecting the foregoing arrangements, as well as severance provisions and customary restrictive covenant provisions.
