Bankrupt Yellow Corp. settles remaining pension claims for $526M

Defunct Yellow Corp. has reached settlement agreements with four multiemployer pension plans totaling up to $526 million to resolve remaining withdrawal liability claims. The deals are supported by its largest shareholder, MFN Partners, and would bring an end to a legal battle that began shortly after the less-than-truckload carrier filed for bankruptcy in August 2023. (Yellow previously agreed to terms with most of the MEPPs it once contributed to on behalf of employees.) New York State Teamsters Conference Pension and Retirement Fund, Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Trust Fund, and Western Pennsylvania Teamsters and Employers Pension Fund would receive the bulk of the funds.

Sunderland sign Tottenham defender Kevin Danso on loan

Sunderland have signed Austria defender Kevin Danso from Tottenham on a loan deal until the end of the season. The move strengthens Sunderland’s defensive options for the remainder of the campaign. BBC Sport reported the agreement, which sees Danso join Sunderland on a temporary deal from Spurs. No further details about the length beyond the end of the season, fees or squad role were provided. The addition brings international defensive experience to Sunderland’s squad and gives the club another option at the back as they complete the current season.
