I, Cynthia L. Jones, do hereby declare and state as follows:
I.
Introduction
1.
I am a Vice President of Monument Economics, LLC (“MEG”). MEG
is an economic consulting firm with offices in Arlington, Virginia and New York,
New York. MEG’s senior staff provides financial analysis and related consulting to
its clients. MEG personnel have frequently been called upon to prepare reports and
to testify as experts in actions brought pursuant to Federal and State securities laws
on matters including: (1) market efficiency; (2) the materiality of information; (3)
loss causation and damages; (4) the valuation of publicly traded and privately held
securities; and (4) the quantum of economic damages sustained by investors.
2.
I have been asked by Counsel to analyze the market for the common
stock of UTi Worldwide, Inc. (“UTi” or “the Company”) during the period March
28, 2013 through February 25, 2014 (“the Class Period”) and to determine whether
UTi’s common stock traded in an efficient market.1 A graph of the daily closing
stock price and reported trading volume appears on Exhibit No. 1.2
3.
I have also been asked whether a common damage methodology could
be applied to compensate purchasers of UTi common stock on a class-wide basis,
1 Throughout this report, the term “common stock” will be used to refer to UTi’s ordinary shares of voting
stock.

assuming Defendants are found liable for alleged violations of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”).
4.
A summary of the materials that I have reviewed and rely upon appear
in Exhibit No. 2. These documents include, but are not limited to:
a. Public disclosures made by the Company, including press releases and
quarterly and annual reports to shareholders;
b. News articles in the general and financial press about UTi and the
industry in which it operated;
c. Reports issued by security analysts following the Company and its
competitors during the Class Period; and
d. The Second Amended Class Action Complaint filed in this matter (the
“Complaint”).
5.
MEG is being compensated in this matter based on the number of hours
expended at the rates charged for personnel, which range from $175 to $400 per
hour, plus out-of-pocket expenses. My hourly rate is $400, and my compensation is
not in any way contingent upon the outcome of this matter.

7.
I have been professionally active as a financial analyst for more than
twenty-five years. I have achieved the professional designation of Chartered
Financial Analyst (“CFA”) and am a member of the CFA Institute. The CFA
program is a globally recognized standard for measuring the competence and
integrity of financial analysts. Its curriculum develops and reinforces a fundamental
knowledge of investment principles. The curriculum includes Ethical and
Professional Standards, Quantitative Methods, Economics, Financial Statement
Analysis, Corporate Finance, Analysis of Debt Investments, Analysis of Equity
Investments, Analysis of Derivatives, Analysis of Alternative Investments, Portfolio
Management and Performance Measurement and Attribution. A candidate’s ability
to apply these principles at a professional level is measured through three levels of
examination which must be passed in succession. I participate in the CFA Institute’s
continuing education program and I am a member of the CFA Society New York
and CFA Society Philadelphia. A copy of my curriculum vitae is attached as Exhibit
No. 3.
8.
The past 25 years of my career has largely been dedicated to capital
markets consulting and expert analytics in securities and commercial litigation
matters, including valuation and economic damages. I have been retained to provide
opinions on the value of equity securities, corporate debt securities, mutual funds,
real estate investment trusts, and other financial instruments. I have been found

qualified to testify on matters including market efficiency, materiality, causation and
damages. A complete list of matters in which I have provided oral or written
testimony is attached as Exhibit No. 4.
III.
Summary of Opinions
9.
Based upon my professional knowledge and experience, as well as my
review and analyses of the documents and data listed in Exhibit No. 2, it is my
opinion that during the Class Period: (1) the market in which UTi’s common stock
traded was open and well-developed; (2) information about UTi was readily
available and widely disseminated to investors; and (3) the price of UTi’s common
stock rapidly reflected new, relevant publicly available information concerning the
Company. Therefore, it is my opinion that the market for UTi’s common stock
during the Class Period can properly be characterized as efficient.
10. As discussed below, courts often rely on a number of factors to assess
the efficiency of the market for common stocks, including the five factors outlined in
Cammer v. Bloom, 711 F. Supp. 1264, (D.N.J. 1989) (“Cammer”). In addition to
the Cammer factors, courts have recognized three other indicators that the market for
a security is efficient: market capitalization, public float, and the bid-ask spread.3 I
have set forth a summary of the various factors that I considered in analyzing the
efficiency of the market for UTi’s common stock in Exhibit No. 5.
3 Krogman v. Sterritt, 202 F.R.D. (D. Tex 2001).

11. It is also my opinion that should a trier of fact find Defendants liable for
damages as alleged in the Complaint, class-wide damages are subject to a common
methodology to compensate purchasers of the Company’s common stock.
IV.
Defining an Efficient Market
12. The concept of an “efficient” market evolved from the Ph.D. dissertation
of Eugene Fama.4 Dr. Fama made the argument that, in an active market that
includes many well-informed and intelligent investors, securities prices will reflect
all available information. If the market is efficient, an investment methodology for
choosing a portfolio of securities cannot be expected to consistently outperform an
appropriate comparative benchmark – for example, a randomly selected portfolio of
securities with a similar risk profile.
13. According to The Efficient Market Hypothesis (the “EMH”) there are
three forms of market efficiency -- weak, semi-strong and strong. The three forms
of efficient markets are distinguished by the degree of information that is reflected in
securities prices.
14. The weak form postulates that security prices reflect information about
their past prices, and therefore it is impossible to earn consistent profits by studying
past returns, alone. The market is said to “have no memory” regarding past prices.5
4 Fama, Eugene F., “Random Walks in Stock Market Prices,” Financial Analysts Journal, Vol. 21,
September/October 1965, pp. 55-60.
5 See, e.g., Malkiel, Burton G., “The Efficient Market Hypothesis and Its Critics,” Journal of Economic
Perspectives, Vol.17, Number 1, (2003), pps. 59-82.

One common methodology for determining whether the market for a security is at
least weak-form efficient is to statistically analyze whether there is independence in
successive price changes. If a security is weak-form efficient, there should be no
statistically significant relationship between today’s price change and yesterday’s. If
a significant relationship does exist, it’s a condition known as “autocorrelation,” and
may be a sign of inefficiency. However, the mere presence of autocorrelation alone
does not render a market inefficient. The non-random price return patterns must be
persistent, and large enough to be considered “economically meaningful” where one
could consistently earn superior returns, after transactions costs, to that of a simple
buy-and-hold strategy.6
15. A common methodology for determining whether the market for a
security is weak-form efficient is to statistically analyze whether there is
independence in successive price changes. I performed a regression analysis of
UTi’s daily stock price returns (the “y”, or independent variable) against its one-day
lag returns (the “x”, or dependent variable) during the Class Period to test whether
the returns were random or whether the previous day’s return was a reliable
predictor of today’s return.7 The results of this regression analysis indicated no
6 See, e.g., Fama, Eugene F., “Efficient Capital Markets: A Review of Theory and Empirical Work,” The
Journal of Finance, Vol. 25, No. 2, Papers and Proceedings of the Twenty-eighth Annual Meeting of the
American Finance Association New York, N.Y. December, 28-30, 1969 (May, 1970), 383-417.
7 My analysis uses the daily and one-day lag returns for the Class Period, a methodology consistent with a
test for autocorrelation set forth in the previously cited Fama article, “Efficient Capital Markets: A Review
of Theory and Empirical Work.”

significant correlation, as shown in the statistical summary below. In other words,
UTi’s stock price followed a “random walk” and satisfied the criteria for weak-form
efficiency.

16. The “Multiple R,” commonly expressed as “r,” is the correlation
coefficient and measures the strength of the relationship between two variables. It
assumes a value of -1 (perfect negative correlation) to +1 (perfect positive
correlation), thus values around zero show no meaningful correlation.8 In this case,
the correlation is only 0.059, indicating weak correlation. The “R-square” shown in
the preceding table is the measure of the “goodness of fit” of the model, and defines
how much of the variation in UTi’s stock price return each day is explained by the
variation in the preceding trading date’s returns. It assumes a value between 0,
indicating no predictive value in the equation, and 1, indicating perfect predictive
value. In this case, the R-square was 0.003, or 0.3 percent, indicating that less than
one half of one percent of the variability in UTi’s daily stock price returns was
explained by its return on the prior day. The absolute value of the t-statistic for the
one-day lag return coefficient (x variable) is substantially less than 1.96, which is the
8 See, e.g.: https://statistics.laerd.com/statistical-guides/pearson-correlation-coefficient-statistical-guide.php.

threshold for statistical significance at the 5 percent confidence level, meaning the
one-day lag returns are not a reliable predictor of the daily returns. Thus, based on
this analysis, there is sufficient empirical evidence to conclude that UTi’s successive
price changes were independent and therefore the market for UTi’s common stock
was at least weak-form efficient during the Class Period.
17. At the other end of the spectrum is the perfectly efficient market, also
known as “strong-form efficient,” where prices reflect all information about a
security, including non-public information. Market participants and academics
generally agree that strong-form efficiency is an ideal, with very little real-world
existence.9 I will therefore turn my attention to the issue of whether the market for
UTi common stock was semi-strong form efficient, the applicable foundation for the
Fraud on the Market Theory.
18. In markets that are semi-strong efficient, security prices reflect all
publicly available information.10 The speed with which security prices adjust to new
information depends upon the nature of the new information and how quickly
investors can digest the implications of the information. I agree with Dr. Fama and
others that the rapid inclusion of new, relevant information in the price of a security
is a reliable indication of market efficiency:
9 See, e.g.: Jensen, Michael C. “Some Anomalous Evidence Regarding Market Efficiency.” Journal of
Financial Economics, Vol. 6, Nos. 2/3 (1978) 95-101.

The typical result in event studies on daily data is that, on average,
stock prices seem to adjust within a day to event announcements. The
result is so common that this work now devotes little space to market
efficiency. The fact that quick adjustment is consistent with efficiency
is noted, and then the studies move on to other issues.11
19. The remainder of my discussions and opinions regarding the efficiency
of the market for UTi common stock during the Class Period refer to efficiency in
the semi-strong form. As discussed in detail below, it is my opinion that during the
Class Period, the market for UTi common stock met the criteria for semi-strong
efficiency. In the next section, I will discuss UTi in general and the market for its
common stock.
V.
UTi Common Stock
20. During the Class Period, UTi operated as a non-asset-based supply chain
services and solutions company. Incorporated in the British Virgin Islands in 1995,
its main office was located in Long Beach, California. UTi had a global network of
freight forwarding offices and contract logistics and distribution centers in 59
countries. It served clients in an additional 92 countries through independent agent-
owned offices.12 As of January 2014, UTi had approximately 21,000 employees,
located in Europe, the Americas, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa.
21. The Company described the industry in which it operated as follows:

The global supply chain services and solutions industry consists of air
and ocean freight forwarding, contract logistics, domestic ground
transportation, customs brokerage, distribution, inbound logistics,
warehousing and supply chain management, and other services.13
22. In its fiscal year ended January 31, 2014, UTi earned approximately $4.4
billion in revenue. The percentage revenue earned by each operating segment was
as follows:14

23. In October 2015, the Company announced it entered into a merger
agreement with the DSV Group (“DSV”), a Denmark-based global logistics
company, pursuant to which DSV would acquire all of UTi’s outstanding shares of
common stock for $7.10 per share.15 That transaction was completed in January
2016, and UTi is no longer an independent publicly-traded company.

24. During the Class Period, UTi common stock was listed for trading on
the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ GSM”), which is the highest tier of
the NASDAQ stock market. According to NASDAQ’s website,
NASDAQ Global Select Market has the highest initial listing
standards of any of the world’s stock markets. Companies listed
on the Global Select market must meet financial and liquidity
requirements, and satisfy corporate governance and disclosure
requirements on both an initial and continuing basis.16
25. The Company had approximately 104 million common shares
outstanding at the beginning of the Class Period.
VI.
Examination of Market Efficiency Factors for UTi Common Stock
26. Many courts have relied upon the existence of certain criteria that are
indicative of an efficient market for a particular security. For example, the court in
Cammer, discussed five characteristics, applicable to common stock, that were
positively related to an inference of market efficiency:
a.
an active trading market; turnover measured by average weekly trading
of two percent or more of the outstanding shares would justify a strong
presumption that the market for the security is an efficient one; one
percent would justify a substantial presumption;
b.
a significant number of securities analysts following and reporting on
the subject security;
c.
the presence of numerous market makers;
d.
the ability of the Company to file a Form S-3 Registration Statement in
connection with public offerings; and

Case 1:21-md-02989-CMA Document 583-6 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/28/2023 Page 15 of

12
e.
the existence of empirical facts showing a cause and effect relationship
between unexpected corporate events and financial releases and an
immediate response in the stock price.
27. In my opinion, the first four factors are descriptive of the structural
foundation for liquidity and the availability of information about the subject
company. While direct evidence of a cause and effect relationship is not always
necessary,17 financial economists generally find the most important factor is the fifth
factor, which tests the cause and effect relationship between the dissemination of
new, relevant information and changes in the price of the security.
28. Various courts have considered three more factors in addition to the five
Cammer factors when determining efficiency:18
a.
the Company’s market capitalization;
b.
float, the percentage of shares held by the public rather than insiders;
and
c.
the size of the bid-ask spread.
17 In re Petrobras Sec. Litig., 312 F.R.D. 354,367 (S.D.N.Y. 2016); and Strougo et al. v. Barclays PLC et
al., case number 16-1912, in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, Opinion, dated November 6,
2017.
18 In Teamsters Local 445 Freight Division Pension Fund v. Bombardier, Inc., 2006 U.S. Dist. LEXIS
52991, at *22-24 (S.D. N.Y. Aug. 1, 2006), Judge Scheindlin observed that courts “typically consult some
or all” of the 5 Cammer factors and 3 additional factors from the economic literature in determining market
efficiency. On appeal, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals also referred to these 8 factors as being
“routinely applied,” while pointing out that it has not adopted a particular test for market efficiency.

29. The remainder of this report will discuss the efficiency of the market for
UTi common stock during the Class Period in the context of these eight factors.
A.
UTi Common Stock Was Actively Traded by Numerous Participants
30. For measuring turnover in common stocks, Cammer sets forth certain
thresholds, measured by average weekly trading volume as a percentage of total
shares outstanding, that are indicative of market efficiency. It states that turnover of
two percent or more of the outstanding shares would justify a strong presumption
that the market for the security is an efficient one; and that one percent would justify
a substantial presumption.19 I use these as guidelines in analyzing the turnover of
UTi’s common stock.
31. I examined the weekly trading volume of the common stock during the
Class Period, including the weeks ending March 29, 2013 through February 28,
2014.20 I calculated turnover as the weekly trading volume divided by the total
shares outstanding. During the Class Period, UTi had an average weekly trading
volume of approximately 2.8 million shares and turnover of 2.7 percent, exceeding
the Cammer threshold for a “strong presumption” of market efficiency. I did not
include the last week’s volume in my turnover calculation, as this includes the date
upon which the alleged corrective disclosures entered the market (followed by
extremely heavy trading volume), as it would bias the results in favor of a finding of
19 Cammer, 711 F. supp. at 1286.

efficiency. The median turnover for all the weeks during the Class Period was 2.3
percent. A table of these results is set forth in Exhibit No. 6 and a graphical display
is attached as Exhibit No. 7.
32. I observed that the reported trading volume for June 28, 2013, was
unusually high at approximately 11.1 million shares. The average daily volume
from the beginning of the Class Period through June 27, 2013 was just 610,000
shares. I am not aware of any corporate event to which to attribute the abnormally
high reported volume that day. For purposes of checking the sensitivity of my
turnover calculations to a potential aberration in the data, I removed the volume for
the week ended June 28, 2013 from my data set and recalculated turnover, resulting
in average and median turnover of 2.5 percent and 2.3 percent, respectively. UTi’s
adjusted turnover still exceeded the threshold set forth by Cammer of 2 percent
suggesting a “strong presumption” of market efficiency.
33. It is my opinion that the large turnover in the Company’s common
shares during the Class Period supports a finding that the market was active and
efficient.
B.
There Was Substantial Coverage by Research Analysts During the Class
Period
34. I obtained a compendium of the analyst reports that were issued during
the relevant period, and archived by Thomson Reuters, a list of which is included in
Exhibit No. 8. The depth of analyst coverage shows that informed research about
Case 2:14-cv-02066-CBM-E Document 97-1 Filed 01/02/18 Page 17 of 97 Page ID #:2334
Case 1:21-md-02989-CMA Document 583-6 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/28/2023 Page 18 of

15
the Company was widely available to UTi’s investors. These reports, which detailed
information about the Company’s earnings, financial condition, and corporate
events, contained important information pertinent to the investment community and
the Company’s shareholders. Exhibit No. 8 shows that more than 70 research
reports were published during the Class Period on the subject of UTi, by more than
13 different firms. Some of the firms following the Company, and publishing
reports, include: Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan, Morningstar, Jefferies, and RBC
Capital Markets.
35. The Company also hosted regular conference calls with the investment
community in conjunction with the release of its quarterly financial results
throughout the Class Period. As evidenced by the transcripts of these calls, on
March 28, 2013, June 6, 2013, September 6, 2013, and December 5, 2013, numerous
analysts participated in the Q&A sessions, posing questions regarding the
Company’s earnings, operating margins, and potential cost savings associated with
the implementation of the new IT systems, among other things. Management
representatives for UTi also participated in industry conferences sponsored by
brokerage firms including the RBC Capital Markets Global Industrials Conference
on September 10, 2013 and the Morgan Stanley Industrials and Autos Conference on

and challenges. They also fielded questions from analysts and other members of the
investment community.
36. The Cammer decision does not specifically quantify what constitutes a
“significant” number of analysts. In my opinion, however, the multitude of
published research reports, and Company-specific activities within the investment
community, reflects significant coverage of UTi, and events impacting its common
stock, during the Class Period. The wide coverage by well- known Wall Street
research firms, and pro-active efforts to interact with the investment community
through teleconferences, is consistent with a finding of market efficiency for UTi’s
common stock during the Class Period.

UTi Common Stock Traded Through Numerous Market Makers During
the Class Period
37.
Cammer, in quoting Bromberg & Lowenfels states, “We think that, at a
minimum, there should be a presumption – probably conditional for class
determination – that certain markets are developed and efficient for virtually all the
securities traded there: the New York and American Stock Exchanges, the Chicago
Board Options Exchange and the NASDAQ National Market System.”21,22 As
previously discussed, UTi common stock was listed on the NASDAQ Global Select

Market during the Class Period.23 Academic research has confirmed that listing on
NASDAQ confers a relative liquidity advantage on a security.24
38.
NASDAQ describes itself as, “a unique market organization that
provides a competitive trading environment and efficient, low-cost execution of
orders. There are multiple market participants, including market makers, order-entry
firms and electronic communications networks (ECNs) that utilize NASDAQ’s
trading services.”25 Market makers are member firms that buy and sell securities for
their own account as well as for customer accounts.
39. Cammer discussed that for certain securities such as “for the over the
counter markets without volume reporting,” it might be important to weigh the
number of market makers in assessing the efficiency of the market. It provides that
ten market makers would justify substantial presumption of efficiency, while five
would justify a more modest presumption. Clearly, with a listed security for which
price and volume information is readily available, as in the case of UTi, the quantum
of market makers is less relevant.
40. I obtained a report known as the Broker Activity Summary, or BAS,
from Bloomberg. It lists each of the firms, including broker dealers, market makers,
23 On July 1, 2006 the NASDAQ National Market was renamed the NASDAQ Global Market. At that time,
it also created the NASDAQ Global Select Market which has the most stringent initial listing standards of
NASDAQ.

and Security Market Efficiency: The Impact of NASDAQ,” Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis,

ECNs, and order-entry firms that facilitated trading in UTi stock during the Class
Period. The firms are listed by what is known as an MPID, or “market participant
ID,” which is a four-digit alpha numeric code, as well as by firm name. The BAS
report also includes the number of shares purchased and sold by each market
participant. A summary of that report is attached as Exhibit No. 9.
41. Counting the unique MPID’s, I observe that there were more than 100
firms making a market, or facilitating trading, in UTi common stock during the
period March 2013 through February 2014, with combined gross volume in excess
of 70 million shares.26 This figure compares favorably with the ten market makers
cited by Cammer that would justify a substantial presumption of market efficiency.
42. In my opinion, the prevalence of competing firms, including market
makers in UTi common stock during the Class Period weighs in favor of a finding
that there was an efficient market for this security.
D.
UTi was Eligible to File a Form S-3 Registration Statement During the
Class Period
43. One of the Cammer factors indicative of the breadth of information in
the market about a company is the company’s ability to file a Form S-3 Registration
Statement when it effects a public offering of its securities. In 1982, the Securities
and Exchange Commission adopted a comprehensive revision to the rules and forms
governing the registration of securities under the Securities Act of 1933, which
26 Reflects only those broker dealers with volume in excess of 1,000 shares.

allowed certain filers to deliver registration documents on a “streamlined” basis, if
sufficient information was already in the public market regarding that company.27
Form S-3, in reliance on the efficient market theory, allows maximum
use of incorporation by reference of Exchange Act reports and requires
the least disclosure to be presented in the prospectus and delivered to
investors. Generally, the Form S-3 prospectus will present the same
transaction-specific information as will be presented in a Form S-1 or
S-2 prospectus. Information concerning the registrant will be
incorporated by reference from Exchange Act reports. The prospectus
will not be required to present any information concerning the
registrant unless there has been a material change in the registrant's
affairs which has not been reported in an Exchange Act filing or the
Exchange Act reports incorporated by reference do not reflect certain
restated financial statements or other financial information.28
(Emphasis added)
44. UTi had been a public company since November 2, 2000. It did not
register any securities for sale during the Class Period. Its most recent offering prior
to the Class Period was in October 2004, at which time it filed a Form S-3
registration statement for a $250 million offering of equity and debt securities. In
assessing whether UTi remained eligible for short-form securities registration during
the Class Period, I examined the SEC’s guidelines for eligibility, attached as Exhibit
No. 10. Two potential disqualifiers would be if the Company was not current in its
quarterly and annual filings; and if it was in default on any of its debt or lease
obligations, or had omitted any dividends to preferred shareholders. To the best of
27 SEC Release No. 33-6383 (March 3, 1982) [47 FR 11380].

my knowledge, neither of those were relevant to UTi. The Company continued to
file timely financial reports with the SEC, and was not in default on its debt or lease
obligations. It had no preferred stock outstanding. A list of the Company’s SEC
filings during the relevant period is attached as Exhibit No. 11.
45. The Company’s eligibility to file a Form S-3 Registration Statement
when effecting public offerings of its securities is consistent with the market
efficiency factor set forth in Cammer and the efficient market theory according to
the framework established by the SEC.
E.
UTi’s Equity Market Capitalization During the Class Period Ranged
from Approximately $1.03 Billion to $1.84 Billion
46. Market capitalization has been cited by various courts as an indicator of
market efficiency, however an objective threshold has not been quantified. Quoting
the court in Krogman, “Market capitalization, calculated as the number of shares
multiplied by the prevailing share price, may be an indicator of market efficiency,
because there is a greater incentive for stock purchasers to invest in more highly
capitalized corporations.”29 I have examined UTi’s equity market capitalization
during the Class Period. There were more than 100 million shares of UTi common
stock outstanding throughout the Class Period. As previously discussed, UTi’s
shares were listed for trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the
ticker symbol “UTIW.” At the start of the Class Period, UTi’s equity market

capitalization (shares outstanding multiplied by the market price) was approximately
$1.50 billion, rising as high as $1.84 billion in December 2013, and declining to

47. To place these figures in context, during the Class Period, UTi’s market
capitalization placed it between the sixth and seventh deciles of the universe of all
companies trading on the NYSE, AMEX, and NASDAQ at this time, as compiled by
CRSP (The Center for Research in Security Prices) (see table below.)30

48. Of the approximately 3,400 securities in the CRSP universe, 30 percent
fell in the top five deciles (1 – 5) in terms of market capitalization, and 70 percent
made up the remaining five deciles (6 – 10). UTi’s market capitalization relative to
all of the other companies in the CRSP universe at the time was sufficiently large to
attract investors and weighs in favor of a finding of market efficiency.
F.
UTi’s Common Stock Was Widely-Held
49. It is generally accepted that a high level of public common stock
ownership contributes to a finding of market efficiency.31 First, insider ownership
of an equity security may lead to fewer transactions and less turnover, as company
insiders face more restrictions on trading. Second, the more widely-held a security
is, there is a greater likelihood that information about the company is widely
disseminated and reflected in its price. Officers and Directors of UTi held only 2.4

50. Generally, the sophistication level of holders is also important, as
institutional investors, including banks, pension funds, hedge funds, and mutual
funds, are considered to be “professional” investors who deploy significant
resources, employing analysts, researchers and other specialists to closely monitor
and analyze economic and industry conditions as well as individual companies and
their securities. Large institutional investors are required to file quarterly reports
listing their holdings with the SEC, known as Form 13F.33 Several capital markets
data providers, including Bloomberg LP, compile the Form 13F data for equity
securities and make it available to their subscribers. I obtained a report from
Bloomberg of the institutional holdings, by quarter, for UTi. These data show that
as of the quarter ended March 31, 2013, there were more than 200 institutions that
reported owning shares of UTi, including investors such as BlackRock Investment
32 UTi Schedule 14A filed in conjunction with Annual Meeting June 10, 2013.
33 Institutional investment managers that use the United States mail (or other means or instrumentality of
interstate commerce) in the course of their business and that exercise investment discretion over $100
million or more in Section 13(f) securities (generally exchange-traded (e.g., NYSE, AMEX) or NASDAQ-
quoted stocks, equity options and warrants, shares of closed-end investment companies, and certain
convertible debt securities) must file Form 13F. See Section 13(f)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act.

Management Company, Vanguard Group, State Street Corp, and T. Rowe Price
Group, to name a few.
51. Clearly, these data demonstrate that UTi’s common stock was widely-
held by numerous sophisticated investors, lending to the efficiency of the market for
these securities. Sufficiently large ownership by institutional investors, and active
participation on their behalf, demonstrates that the market for the common stock was
“impersonal” and “well-developed,” as described by the United States Supreme
Court in Basic, Inc. v. Levinson.34
G.
UTi’s Bid-Ask Spread Was Narrow
52. The bid-ask spread is a trading cost extracted by liquidity providers in
the market for securities. The bid-ask spread is essentially the difference between
the highest price that a buyer is willing to pay for an asset and the lowest price that a
seller is willing to accept to sell it. The ask price generally exceeds the bid price.
The difference between the two is known as the bid-ask spread. The size of the
spread often determines the “quality” of the market.35 High trading costs, reflected
by relatively wider bid-ask spreads, dampen liquidity and reduce market quality.
Narrow bid-ask spreads are a sign that trading costs are low, and the market is liquid

25
and efficient. Studies have shown that the bid-ask spread is negatively correlated
with price level, trading volume, and the number of market makers.36
53. I obtained closing bid and ask prices for UTi common stock during the
Class Period from Bloomberg L.P. I calculated the bid-ask spread using the
midpoint of the closing bid and ask prices, as follows:
Bid-ask spread = (ask price – bid price)/(average of bid and ask price)
54. There were 230 observations (i.e. closing bid and ask prices) during the
Class Period. The average and median bid-ask spread for the common stock were
0.07 percent and 0.06 percent, respectively. These bid-ask spreads, which are equal
to less than one-half of one percent, compare favorably to spreads on NASDAQ-
traded stocks, in general. One academic study, by professors Kee H. Chung and
Younsoon Kim, found that the average spread on NYSE and NASDAQ stocks
overall was 0.34 percent and 0.73 percent, respectively.37 The data from this study
predated the Class Period and may not provide a meaningful comparison.
55. I wanted to compare the bid-ask spread for UTi’s common stock to a
contemporaneous sample of other NASDAQ Transportation companies that were of
a similar size, measured by market capitalization. Academic research in this area
supports that bid-ask spreads are highly correlated with firm size, and that, in

general, larger capitalization stocks tend to have relatively lower bid-ask spreads
than lower capitalization stocks.38

chart which compared its stock price performance to that of the NASDAQ

similar to UTi in terms of market capitalization. Those companies appear in the table

58. On average, there were 230 observations, with average and median bid-
ask spreads of 0.23 percent and 0.20 percent. The median bid-ask spreads were
more narrow, and closer to those of UTi, at 0.09 percent and 0.08 percent,
respectively.
59. In summary, my analysis confirms that the closing bid-ask spreads for
UTi common stock was smaller in magnitude than NASDAQ spreads, in general,
from the academic literature, and comparable to the bid-ask spreads of similarly-
sized industry peers. Therefore, it is my opinion that trading costs, measured by the
bid-ask spread, for UTi’s common stock were relatively small and indicative of an
efficient market for this security.
H.
Empirical Facts Show a Cause and Effect Relationship Between
Unexpected Corporate Events and a Rapid Response in UTi’s Stock Price
60. Financial economists generally agree that a telling indication of market
efficiency is whether the price of a security responds rapidly to new, relevant
information. For common stocks, relevant information may include earnings
announcements, changes in dividend policy, merger and acquisition related
information, financing strategies, and other information impacting the equity value
of the firm.
61. In order to test whether the price of UTi common stock responded
rapidly to new information, I conducted an Event Study. Fama, Fisher, Jensen and
Roll pioneered the use of Event Studies in their 1969 paper regarding the adjustment
Case 2:14-cv-02066-CBM-E Document 97-1 Filed 01/02/18 Page 30 of 97 Page ID #:2347
Case 1:21-md-02989-CMA Document 583-6 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/28/2023 Page 31 of
98
28
of stock prices to announcements of stock splits.39 Event Studies involve the
examination of security price behavior following announcements of relevant events.
The subject security’s price return is typically compared to a “normal” or “expected”
return, which might be defined by a regression equation. The “residual” or
“abnormal” return – that is the actual return minus the expected return – is measured
for statistical significance. If the abnormal return is outside of the expected range of
returns, one may conclude that the event of interest contributed to the abnormal price
return.
62. Generally, the first step of an Event Study involves identification of the
events of interest and definition of the event window. For example, A. Craig
MacKinlay explains that if one were concerned about the information content of
corporate earnings announcements, the event will be the earnings announcement and
the event window will be confined to the announcement day.40 In my Event Study
here, I have used daily price returns and limited the “event window” to a single day.
When the announcement of an event can be dated to the day,
daily data allow precise measurement of the speed of the stock-
price response – the central issue for market efficiency.41

Prices to New Information,” International Economic Review, Vol. 10, No. 1, February 1969.

63. The next step involves forming a hypothesis as to whether the
information is important enough to change the market’s perception as to the value of
the security – i.e. is it economically significant. The null hypothesis that is tested is
“no significant abnormal return on event days.”
64. The final step involves measuring the abnormal price return. This is
generally done using a market model, in the form of a regression equation, which
predicts, based on the relationship between normal price returns and a market or
industry index, the security’s return on an event day. The abnormal or residual price
return is the difference between the expected return and the actual return. Finally,
the abnormal return is tested to determine whether the null hypothesis of “no
significant price change” on event days should be rejected.
65. In theory, in a properly functioning market, security prices should
respond to new, relevant information as it is disclosed, and should show little to no
response in the absence of same. For purposes of testing the price changes in
response to news, and comparing that to the price response when there is no news, I
conducted an analysis of the abnormal returns on news days as compared to “no-
news” days. The premise behind this analysis is set forth in a peer reviewed article
in St. John’s Law Review.42

Because stock prices move all the time, one must compare the
movements in response to news stories with a control group of prices.
One way to do this would be to look at a sample of days in a class
period exclusive of those days alleged to be corrective disclosure(s)
and perform a news search. An alternative would be to look at a
sample just before the class period. Using whatever sample is chosen,
one could then separate out those days on which the company is
mentioned in the news from those on which it is not.43
66. In order to identify “news” days, I conducted a search of the archived
news pertaining to UTi during the Class Period. The search was initiated on the
Bloomberg LP terminal using the ticker symbol “UTIW.” As previously mentioned,
UTi was merged into, and became a subsidiary of, DSV, in January 2016.
Therefore, the archived Bloomberg news also included news articles about DSV. I
eliminated the DSV-related news from my search results.
67. I also obtained a list of the archived research reports about UTi that were
published by security analysts during the Class Period by conducting a search
through Thomson Reuters. I created an event chronology by entering the source,
time stamp (if available), and nature of the news articles and analyst research reports
into an Excel spreadsheet, alongside the date, reported trading volume, and closing
price for UTi stock. This event chronology is attached as Exhibit No. 12.
68. In my opinion, including all UTi news, exclusive of those articles that
mentioned UTi’s stock price alone, as archived by Bloomberg, and all analyst

reports as archived by Thomas Reuters offers an objective, unbiased methodology
for categorizing “news” and “no-news” days.

efficient, the observance of abnormal returns on “news days” should be significantly
greater than the abnormal returns on “no-news days.” Put simply, there should be a
higher percentage of news days with significant price movements as compared to
no-news days.
70. The next step involves the creation of a market model (regression
equation) which defines the linear relationship between the daily returns to the
subject security (the “dependent” variable), and the market in general (the
“independent” variable). This relationship is defined through a regression analysis.
In the present case, I identified two independent variables in constructing a market
model for UTi stock. Those variables are described below.
a. The NASDAQ Composite Index (“CCMP”) is a market capitalization-
weighted index of more than 3,000 stocks listed on the NASDAQ stock
market.44 It is a recognized proxy for the stock market in general,
containing more stocks than most other equity indices.
b. The NASDAQ Transportation Index (“CTRN”) includes the stocks of
companies classified according to the Industry Classification

Benchmark as Industrial Transportation and Airlines. There are more
than 40 companies in the index. As previously mentioned, the
Company identified this index as a benchmark against which to
compare its stock price performance in its Form 10-K.
71. A market model such as the one that I employed here is a generally
accepted, widely used method to obtain estimates of abnormal returns.45 I
performed a regression analysis of the daily price returns for the ordinary shares
against the two independent variables defined above. A common occurrence in
regression analysis is collinearity amongst independent variables, meaning that the
returns to one benchmark may be highly correlated with the returns to another
benchmark, making the inclusion of both variables redundant.46 In this case, the
returns to the NASDAQ Transportation Index are highly correlated with the returns
to the NASDAQ Composite Index. In order to adjust for collinearity, I calculated a
residual return to the NASDAQ Transportation Index, netting out the returns
attributable to the NASDAQ Composite Index.
72. Next, it was necessary to define the control period, which is typically
some period of time preceding the events of interest.47 In this case, since I wanted to
test the daily returns during the Class Period, my control period included the daily

were 251 observations in the control period. A statistical summary of the regression

73. The “Multiple R,” commonly expressed as “r” is the correlation
coefficient and measures the strength of the relationship between two variables. It
assumes a value of -1 (perfect negative correlation) to +1 (perfect positive
correlation), thus values around zero show no meaningful correlation.48 In this case,
the correlation is 0.634, indicating strong correlation between the daily returns to
UTi stock and the market and industry benchmarks.49 The “R-Square” shown in the
preceding table is the measure of the “goodness of fit” of the model, and defines
how much of the variation in UTi’s stock price return each day is explained by the
variation in the returns to the NASDAQ Composite Index and the residual returns to
the NASDAQ Transportation Index. It assumes a value between 0, indicating no
predictive value in the equation, and 1, indicating perfect predictive value. In this
case, the R-square was 0.402, or 40 percent. The t-statistics for the two independent

variable coefficients, at 9.6 for the NASDAQ Composite Index and 8.7 for the
residual NASDAQ Transportation Index, were much greater than 1.96, the threshold
for statistical significance at the 5 percent level of confidence. I conclude this
regression equation is a reliable predictor of the returns to UTi common stock during
the Class Period.
74. Using the coefficients from the regression equations, and the returns to
the NASDAQ Composite Index and residual returns to the NASDAQ Transportation
Index, I calculated a predicted return for each day of the Class Period, plus February
26, 2016. I subtracted the actual return from the predicted return to arrive at the
abnormal return on each day. I employed standard statistical tests to test for
significant abnormal returns, meaning the abnormal return was statistically different
from zero. If the abnormal return had a t-statistic with absolute value of 1.96 or
greater, I concluded that the abnormal return was statistically significant at the 5
percent level.50,51 If an abnormal return is statistically significant at the 5 percent
level this means that only a 5 percent likelihood exists that the security’s normal
50 This refers to the two “tails” of data under the far left and far right of a bell-shaped curve. 95 percent of
the area under the bell curve occurs within approximately two standard deviations of the mean, with 2.5
percent remaining on the far left and 2.5 percent remaining on the far right.
51 A t-statistic of 1.96 or greater indicates that such a residual return was independent of the benchmark
indices with 95 percent confidence.

random price fluctuation could have caused such a large abnormal price
movement.52
75. My sample set of data included 230 daily price returns from March 28,
2013 through February 25, 2014. Of the 36 observations categorized as “news days”
there were 4 statistically significant abnormal returns, or 11.1 percent (4/36 =
0.111). I identified 194 days without news. I observe statistically significant
abnormal price changes on 5 days, or 2.6 percent of “no-news days,” (5/194 =
0.026). Thus, it was 4 times more likely that a statistically significant abnormal
return was observed on days when information about UTi entered the market than on
“no-news days.” The results appear in a table on Exhibit No. 13.
76. The 4 statistically significant abnormal returns on “news days” are
higher than would be expected in a random sampling of days without any news. On
36 randomly selected days, at the 5 percent confidence level, one would expect to
observe only 2 (rounded) statistically significant abnormal returns (.05 x 36 = 1.8),
not 4, which is what occurred with UTi’s common stock on “news days.”
77. I tested the difference between the percentage of significant abnormal
returns on “news days” (11.1 percent) and “no-news days” (2.6 percent) to
determine whether that difference was statistically different from zero.

78. To briefly summarize the results, the difference between the percentage
of statistically significance abnormal returns on news days as compared to no-news
days was 8.5 percent. To test whether that difference is large enough to reject the
null hypothesis of “no difference” between the two samples, I calculated the Z score
and P value. The P value measures the probability of obtaining a particular Z score
when there is, in fact, no difference in the two samples. The P value is 0.77 percent,
demonstrating that given two random samples of daily returns, one would expect to
find such a large difference in abnormal returns only 0.77 percent of the time, or less
than one percent. Conversely, the daily price returns demonstrated a significant
difference in the occurrence of abnormal returns on news days, as compared to no-
news days, at greater than 99 percent confidence. These results appear in a table on
Exhibit No. 14.
79. In my opinion, this analysis provides statistical evidence that UTi’s
stock price responded rapidly to information as it entered the market, and did not
display significant price changes, overall, in the absence of news.
80. Some examples of statistically significant abnormal return days when
unexpected information relevant to UTi’s common stock entered the market, appear
below:
a. On September 6, 2013, UTi announced its financial results for the
second fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2013. UTi reported quarterly

37
earnings of $0.05 per share, which were significantly lower than
analysts’ consensus estimate of $0.14 per share. Earnings for the
quarter were down 76 percent year-over-year, partly on higher costs
from the transformation and freight forwarding system rollout.
The Morgan Stanley analyst commented as follows:
F2Q miss highlights execution risk associated with
transformation. UTIW materially missed F2Q14
expectations on higher than expected operating expenses
associated with on-going transformation efforts, an
outcome that only reinforces the execution risks we’ve
identified in the past (see UTIW: Transformation To
Create Upside, Execution A Risk, 4/15/13). The
turnaround at UTIW has been underway for years and IT
roll-outs can be tricky and expensive, as the
disappointing F2Q results make clear.53
UTi’s stock price declined from a closing price of $17.05 on September
5, to close at $16.04 on September 6, a decline of 5.9 percent on both
an absolute basis and a residual basis (i.e. adjusted for changes in the
market and industry benchmarks). The residual price return was
statistically significant at the 95 percent confidence level. The reported
trading volume for UTi’s stock on September 6, 2013 was
approximately 2.5 million shares, which was more than 3 times larger
than the average daily volume for the previous 52-week period.

b. On December 5, 2013, UTi announced financial results for the third
fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2013. Earnings per share of $0.08
were in line with analysts’ consensus estimates. More importantly, the
Company revealed that the transformation was on track to achieve $75-
95 million in gross annualized pre-tax cost savings, and had already
achieved $30 million in pre-tax cost savings.
The following day, J.P. Morgan published a research report which read,
in part:
UTIW’s 3QF14 EPS of $0.08 (-51% y/y) was in line with
the Street consensus driven by strong volume growth in
both air and ocean and improved CL&D activity, offset
by pricing and currency pressures. But more important
than the 3Q result itself, in our view, was that UTIW
indicated that the company cut $30M of annualized pre-

tax expense ($0.19/share after tax) at the end of 3Q; and
additionally, UTIW indicated that, inclusive of the $30M
cut at the end of 3Q, the company still has a total of $75-
95M of gross annualized pre-tax cost savings it can have
in place by the end of F2015.54
Immediately following the news of the in line earnings, following
several quarters of misses, as well as the manifestation of cost savings
from UTi’s transformation initiatives, the price of UTi’s common stock
increased by 6.2 percent on an absolute basis, and 5.9 percent on a
residual basis. The residual price return was statistically significant at
the 95 percent level of confidence. The reported trading volume in UTi
stock on December 5, 2013 was 2.1 million shares, which was more
than 3 times larger than the average daily trading volume for the
previous 52-week period.

c. On February 26, 2014, UTi shocked the market by announcing it was
out of compliance with certain of its debt covenants and would be
issuing $350 million in convertible debt, which would be dilutive to
current shareholders. In addition, it pre-announced a 4Q14 loss of
$0.14 per share, versus analysts’ consensus estimate for earnings of
$0.06 per share. The Company disclosed a severe liquidity shortage due
to problems incurred while implementing its new freight forwarding
and financial systems, which caused a disruption in invoicing and
collections, among other things.
The analyst from Stephens Inc. commented as follows:
Case 2:14-cv-02066-CBM-E Document 97-1 Filed 01/02/18 Page 43 of 97 Page ID #:2360

It’s a complete understatement to say the investment
community was taken by surprise with UTIW’s intention
to raise $525 mil - $575 in new convertible debt and
preference shares to recapitalize its balance sheet.
Continued headwinds in its freight forwarding and
contract logistics businesses triggered a covenant breach
and a severe working capital drain due to
implementation issues of the Company’s new freight
forwarding and financial systems caused UTIW to almost
completely draw down on its revolving credit facility.
Following these developments UTIW essentially had its
debt called in by both its bank syndicate and the holders
of its senior secure notes, and its auditors believed that
without a capital injection there was doubt as to UTIW’s
ability to continue as a going concern. Besides
wondering why the Company was not better prepared for
an event like this, investors are trying to determine if the
36% decline in UTIW’s share price since Tuesday’s close
is an overreaction. We believe that at this point, there are
many more questions than answers and the risk to buying
(or continuing to own) UTIW shares remains significant
despite the additional liquidity.55
Following this news, UTi’s stock price declined to its lowest level since
2009, falling 29.6 percent from a closing price of $15.26 on February
25, to close at $10.74 on February 26. The one-day residual price
decline was 28.9 percent, which is statistically significant at the 95
percent level of confidence. Reported trading volume for UTi stock on
February 26, 2014 was 10.7 million shares, more than 18 times larger
than the average daily trading volume for the previous 52-week period.

stock rapidly incorporated new information, showing “a cause and effect

immediate response in the stock price.”56

VII.
Class-wide Damages Are Subject to A Common Methodology
83. I was asked by Counsel to consider whether damages could be
calculated on a class-wide basis for UTi’s common stock pursuant to violations of
§10(b) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. In my
opinion, damages could be calculated using a broadly accepted methodology, known
as an “out-of-pocket” loss calculation, based on the amount of artificial inflation in
the price of the stock, which resulted directly from the dissemination of allegedly
false and misleading information during the Class Period. Crew, et al., [2012] write
about how this methodology is generally accepted and widely used:
The share price declines on these curative disclosure dates serve as a
basis for measuring the inflation earlier in the class period. The logic of
the argument is that when the company disclosed the corrective
information on the curative disclosure dates, the share price declined
by an amount of X dollars or Y percent, which indicates the decline that
would have occurred had the market known the information earlier in
the class period.58
84. The amount of artificial inflation will be determined using the Event
Study methodology, previously described herein, which isolates that portion of the
price impact attributed to certain corrective disclosures. The level of inflation in the
price of UTi common stock can be calculated using the results of an Event Study,
along with company-specific information that is relevant to the allegations in the
58 See, “Federal Securities Acts and Areas of Expert Analysis,” by Nicholas I. Crew, et al., in Chapter 24 of
the Litigation Services Handbook; The Role of the Financial Expert, 5th ed., edited by Roman L. Weil,
Daniel G. Lentz, and David P. Hoffman, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2012, p. 24.11.

instant case. The amount of artificial inflation in the price of the stock can be
determined on a daily basis, using the historical pricing data.
85. Once the amount of artificial inflation is determined, it can be applied to
class members’ actual purchase and sale activity, and individual losses can be
calculated using a single common formula, consistent with Plaintiff’s theory of
liability. This represents a common damages methodology that can be applied on a
class-wide basis.
VIII. Summary and Conclusion
86. It is my opinion that the market for UTi common stock demonstrated the
indicia of an efficient market during the Class Period. My opinion is supported by
the analyses and observations detailed above, including that:
a. The stock was actively traded, and turnover met or exceeded the
threshold of one to two percent during the Class Period.
b. UTi enjoyed significant coverage by analysts. The Company was
followed by more than 13 brokerage firms that issued more than 70
reports to the investment community.
c. UTi was qualified to register securities by way of a “short-form”
registration statement (i.e. Form S-3) and had done so when it last
registered securities in 2004.
d. There were numerous Market Participants facilitating trading in UTi
common stock during the Class Period, including large well-known
firms such as Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs. The
number of unique Market Participants with substantial gross volumes
well exceeded the benchmark of 10 market makers considered adequate
to demonstrate an efficient market.

e. UTi’s equity market capitalization during the Class Period, which
ranged from $1.03 billion (at the end of the Class Period) to a high of
$1.84 billion, was higher than 53 percent of all companies traded on the
NYSE, NASDAQ, and AMEX.
f. A comparative analysis demonstrates that the bid-ask spreads for UTi’s
common stock were narrow and consistent with the range of bid-ask
spreads for similarly-sized companies in the NASDAQ Transportation
Index.
g. UTi’s common stock was widely-held, with a high level of public
ownership, particularly by reporting institutional investors. The public
float was not constrained in any way that would inhibit liquidity and/or
trading.
h. Using an Event Study analysis, the prevalence of statistically significant
abnormal returns on days when information about the Company entered
the market demonstrated that the common stock rapidly reflected new
information. A comparison of returns on “news” days versus “no-
news” days showed the stock price exhibited significant abnormal
returns in response to relevant news and did not exhibit significant
abnormal returns in the absence of same.
87. It is also my opinion that class-wide damages, pursuant to violations of
§10(b) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, sustained
by purchasers of UTi’s common stock during the Class Period, are subject to a
common methodology. Class-wide damages could be determined based on an “out
of pocket” loss calculation, using the Event Study methodology to determine the
amount of artificial inflation in the stock price for each day during the Class Period,

Factor
Summary of Factor
UTi Common Stock
Cammer I: Average Weekly Trading Volume
An active trading market; turnover measured by average weekly
trading of two percent or more of the outstanding shares would
justify a strong presumption that the market for the security is an
efficient one; one percent would justify a substantial
presumption.
UTi common stock demonstrated turnover of 2.7% for the 48
weeks during the Class Period.
Cammer II: Analyst Coverage
A significant number of securities analysts following and
reporting on the subject security. Cammer does not specifically
quantify what constitutes a "significant" number of analysts.
There are more than 70 archived analyst reports issued by more
than 13 different firms during the Class Period.
Cammer III: Market Makers
The presence of numerous market makers. Cammer provides
that 10 market makers would justify presumption of efficiency,
while five would justify a more modest presumption.
More than 100 unique Market Participants reported gross
volumes of more than 1000 shares, facilitating trading in UTi
common stock during the Class Period.
Cammer IV: SEC Form S-3 Eligibility
The ability of the Company to file a Form S-3 in connection
with public offerings.
UTi was eligible to file a Form S-3 during the Class Period.
Cammer V: Price Reaction to New Information
The existence of empirical facts showing cause and effect
relationship between unexpected corporate events and financial
releases and an immediate response in the stock price. Cammer
says this is the "essence of an efficient market and the
foundation for the fraud on the market theory."
UTi common stock exhibited significant abnormal price returns
following the release of new information, and did not exhibit
significant abnormal price returns in the absence of same.
Market Capitalization
Market capitalization has been cited by various courts as an
indicator of market efficiency, however an objective threshold
has not been quantified.
UTi's market capitlization varied from a low of $1.03 billion (at
the end of the Class Period) to a high of $1.84 billion
(December 2013), ranking it amongst the 6th and 7th deciles of
the CRSP universe.
Bid-Ask Spread
A narrow bid-ask spread signals that trading costs are low, and
the market is liquid and efficient. High trading costs reflect
wider spreads and dampen liquidity, reducing the "quality" of
the market.
The average bid-ask spread on the common stock was
sufficiently narrow, at 0.07%, and compared favorably to the
bid-ask spreads of its peers during the Class Period.
Public Float
It is generally accepted that a high level of public common stock
ownership contributes to a finding of market efficiency due to
the notion that the more widely-held a stock is the greater
likelihood that information about the company is widely
disseminated.
UTi's common stock was widely held by numerous sophisticated
investors. The Public Float was not constrained in any way.

1. Specific details relating to the fee calculation shall be furnished in notes to the Fee Table, including references to provisions of Rule
457 (§230.457 of this chapter) relied upon, if the basis of the calculation is not otherwise evident from the information presented in the
Fee Table.
2. If the filing fee is calculated pursuant to Rule 457(o) under the Securities Act, only the title of the class of securities to be registered,
the proposed maximum aggregate offering price for that class of securities, and the amount of registration fee need to appear in the
Fee Table. Where two or more classes of securities are being registered pursuant to General Instruction II.D., however, the Fee Table
need only specify the maximum aggregate offering price for all classes; the Fee Table need not specify by each class the proposed
maximum aggregate offering price (see General Instruction II.D.).
3. If the filing fee is calculated pursuant to Rule 457(r) under the Securities Act, the Fee Table must state that it registers an unspecified
amount of securities of each identified class of securities and must provide that the issuer is relying on Rule 456(b) and Rule 457(r). If
the Fee Table is amended in a post-effective amendment to the registration statement or in a prospectus filed in accordance with Rule
456(b)(1)(ii) (§230.456(b)(1)(ii) of this chapter) , the Fee Table must specify the aggregate offering price for all classes of securities in
the referenced offering or offerings and the applicable registration fee.
4. Any difference between the dollar amount of securities registered for such offerings and the dollar amount of securities sold may be
carried forward on a future registration statement pursuant to Rule 457 under the Securities Act.

month immediately preceding the filing of the registration statement, other than a report that is required solely pursuant
to Item 1.01, 1.02, 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 4.02(a) or 5.02(e) of Form 8-K (§249.308 of this chapter). If the registrant has

tion statement) Rule 12b-25(b) (§240.12b-25(b) of this chapter) under the Exchange Act with respect to a report or a
portion of a report, that report or portion thereof has actually been filed within the time period prescribed by that rule.

Commission under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act as a domestic registrant pursuant to I. A. 3. above.
6. If the registrant is a successor registrant, it shall be deemed to have met conditions 1., 2., 3., and 5., above if: (a) its
predecessor and it, taken together, do so, provided that the succession was primarily for the purpose of changing the
state of incorporation of the predecessor or forming a holding company and that the assets and liabilities of the suc-

instructions.
1. “Common equity” is as defined in Securities Act Rule 405 (§230.405 of this chapter). For purposes of computing the
aggregate market value of the registrant’s outstanding voting and non-voting common equity pursuant to General Instruction
I.B.6., registrants shall use the price at which the common equity was last sold, or the average of the bid and asked prices of
such common equity, in the principal market for such common equity as of a date within 60 days prior to the date of sale. See
the definition of “affiliate” in Securities Act Rule 405 (§230.405 of this chapter).
2. For purposes of computing the aggregate market value of all securities sold by or on behalf of the registrant in offerings
pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6. during any period of 12 calendar months, registrants shall aggregate the gross proceeds
of such sales; provided, that, in the case of derivative securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of the registrant’s
common equity, registrants shall calculate the aggregate market value of any underlying equity shares in lieu of the market
value of the derivative securities. The aggregate market value of the underlying equity shall be calculated by multiplying the
maximum number of common equity shares into which the derivative securities are convertible or for which they are exercis-
able as of a date within 60 days prior to the date of sale, by the same per share market price of the registrant’s equity used for
purposes of calculating the aggregate market value of the registrant’s outstanding voting and non-voting common equity pur-
suant to Instruction 1 to General Instruction I.B.6. If the derivative securities have been converted or exercised, the aggregate
market value of the underlying equity shall be calculated by multiplying the actual number of shares into which the securities
were converted or received upon exercise, by the market price of such shares on the date of conversion or exercise.
3. If the aggregate market value of the registrant’s outstanding voting and nonvoting common equity computed pursuant to
General Instruction I.B.6. equals or exceeds $75 million subsequent to the effective date of this registration statement, then the
one third limitation on sales specified in General Instruction I.B.6(a) shall not apply to additional sales made pursuant to this
registration statement on or subsequent to such date and instead the registration statement shall be considered filed pursuant to
General Instruction I.B.1.
4. The term “Form 10 information” means the information that is required by Form 10 or Form 20-F (§249.210 or §249.220f
of this chapter), as applicable to the registrant, to register under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 each class of securities
being registered using this form. A registrant may provide the Form 10 information in another Commission filing with respect
to the registrant.
5. The date used in Instruction 2 to General Instruction I.B.6. shall be the same date used in Instruction 1 to General
Instruction I.B.6.
6. A registrant’s eligibility to register a primary offering on Form S-3 pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6. does not mean
that the registrant meets the requirements of Form S-3 for purposes of any other rule or regulation of the Commission apart
from Rule 415(a)(1)(x) (§230.415(a)(1)(x) of this chapter).
7. Registrants must set forth on the outside front cover of the prospectus the calculation of the aggregate market value of the
registrant’s outstanding voting and nonvoting common equity pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6. and the amount of all
securities offered pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6. during the prior 12 calendar month period that ends on, and includes,
the date of the prospectus.
8. For purposes of General Instruction I.B.6(c), a “national securities exchange” shall mean an exchange registered as such
under Section 6(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

c. majority-owned Subsidiaries. If a registrant is a majority-owned subsidiary, security offerings may be registered on this Form if:
l. the registrant-subsidiary itself meets the Registrant Requirements and the applicable Transaction Requirement;
2. the parent of the registrant-subsidiary meets the Registrant Requirements and the conditions of Transaction Require-
ment B. 2. (Primary Offerings of Non-convertible Investment Grade Securities) are met;
3. the parent of the registrant-subsidiary meets the Registrant Requirements and the applicable Transaction Requirement,
and provides a full and unconditional guarantee, as defined in Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X (§210.3-10 of this chapter),
of the payment obligations on the securities being registered, and the securities being registered are non-convertible
securities, other than common equity;
4. the parent of the registrant-subsidiary meets the Registrant Requirements and the applicable Transaction Requirement,
and the securities of the registrant subsidiary being registered are full and unconditional guarantees, as defined in Rule
3-10 of Regulation S-X, of the payment obligations on the parent’s non-convertible securities, other than common
equity, being registered; or
5. the parent of the registrant-subsidiary meets the Registrant Requirements and the applicable Transaction Requirement,
and the securities of the registrant subsidiary being registered are guarantees of the payment obligations on the non-
convertible securities, other than common equity, being registered by another majority-owned subsidiary of the parent
where the parent provides a full and unconditional guarantee, as defined in Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, of such non-
convertible securities.
note to general instruction i.c.: With regard to paragraphs I.C.3, I.C.4, and I.C.5 above, the guarantor is the issuer of a separate
security consisting of the guarantee, which must be concurrently registered, but may be registered on the same registration statement
as are the non-convertible guaranteed securities.
d. automatic shelf offerings by well-known seasoned issuers. Any registrant that is a well-known seasoned issuer as defined in

ii. application of general rules and regulations
A. Attention is directed to the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act, particularly Regulation C thereunder
(l7 CFR 230.400 to 230.494). That Regulation contains general requirements regarding the preparation and filing of reg-
istration statements.
B. Attention is directed to Regulation S-K (17 CFR Part 229) for the requirements applicable to the content of the non-financial
statement portions of registration statements under the Securities Act. Where this Form directs the registrant to furnish
information required by Regulation S-K and the item of Regulation S-K so provides, information need only be furnished to
the extent appropriate. Notwithstanding Items 501 and 502 of Regulation S-K, no table of contents is required to be included
in the prospectus or registration statement prepared on this Form. In addition to the information expressly required to be
included in a registration statement on this Form S-3, registrants also may provide such other information as they deem
appropriate.
c.
A smaller reporting company, defined in Rule 405 (17 CFR 230.405), that is eligible to use Form S-3 shall use the
disclosure items in Regulation S-K (17 CFR 229.10 et seq.) with specific attention to the scaled disclosure provided
for smaller reporting companies, if any. Smaller reporting companies may provide the financial information called
for by Article 8 of Regulation S-X in lieu of the financial information called for by Item 11 in this form.
d. Non-Automatic Shelf Registration Statements. Where two or more classes of securities being registered on this
Form pursuant to General Instruction I.B.1. or I.B.2. are to be offered pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(x) (§230.415(a)
(1)(x) of this chapter), and where this Form is not an automatic shelf registration statement, Rule 457(o) permits
the registration fee to be calculated on the basis of the maximum offering price of all the securities listed in the
Fee Table. In this event, while the Fee Table would list each of the classes of securities being registered and the
aggregate proceeds to be raised, the Fee Table need not specify by each class information as to the amount to be
registered, proposed maximum offering price per unit, and proposed maximum aggregate offering price.

e. automatic Shelf registration Statements. Where securities are being registered on this Form pursuant to General
Instruction I.D., Rule 456(b) permits, but does not require, the registrant to pay the registration fee on a pay-as-you-go basis and Rule
457(r) permits, but does not require, the registration fee to be calculated on the basis of the aggregate offering price of the securities to
be offered in an offering or offerings off the registration statement. If a registrant elects to pay all or a portion of the registration fee on
a deferred basis, the Fee Table in the initial filing must identify the classes of securities being registered and provide that the registrant
elects to rely on Rule 456(b) and Rule 457(r), but the Fee Table does not need to specify any other information. When the registrant
amends the Fee Table in accordance with Rule 456(b)(1)(ii), the amended Fee Table must include either the dollar amount of securities
being registered if paid in advance of or in connection with an offering or offerings or the aggregate offering price for all classes of
securities referenced in the offerings and the applicable registration fee.
F. information in automatic and non-automatic Shelf registration Statements. Where securities are being registered
on this Form pursuant to General Instruction I.B.1, I.B.2, I.C., or I.D., information is only required to be furnished as of
the date of initial effectiveness of the registration statement to the extent required by Rule 430A or Rule 430B. Required
information about a specific transaction must be included in the prospectus in the registration statement by means of a
prospectus that is deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement pursuant to Rule 430A or Rule 430B, a
post-effective amendment to the registration statement, or a periodic or current report under the Exchange Act incorporated by refer-
ence into the registration statement and the prospectus and identified in a prospectus filed, as required by Rule 430B, pursuant to Rule
424(b) (§230.424(b) of this chapter).
g. Selling Security holder offerings. Where a registrant eligible to register primary offerings on this Form pursuant to
General Instruction I.B.1 registers securities offerings on this Form pursuant to General Instruction I.B.1 or I.B.3 for the
account of persons other than the registrant, if the offering of the securities, or securities convertible into such securities,
that are being registered on behalf of the selling security holders was completed and the securities, or securities convert
ible into such securities, were issued and outstanding prior to the original date of filing the registration statement covering
the resale of the securities, the registrant may, as permitted by Rule 430B(b), in lieu of identifying selling security holders
prior to effectiveness of the resale registration statement, refer to unnamed selling security holders in a generic manner by
identifying the initial transaction in which the securities were sold. Following effectiveness, the registrant must include in a
prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(7), a post-effective amendment to the registration statement, or an Exchange Act
report incorporated by reference into the prospectus that is part of the registration statement (which Exchange Act report
is identified in a prospectus filed, as required by Rule 430B, pursuant to Rule 424(b)(7)) the names of previously
unidentified selling security holders and amounts of securities that they intend to sell. If this Form is being filed pursuant to
General Instruction I.D. by a well-known seasoned issuer to register securities being offered for the account of persons
other than the issuer, the registration statement and the prospectus included in the registration statement do not need to
designate the securities that will be offered for the account of such persons, identify them, or identify the initial transaction
in which the securities, or securities convertible into such securities, were sold until the registrant files a post-effective
amendment to the registration statement, a prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b), or an Exchange Act report (and prospectus
filed, as required by Rule 430B, pursuant to Rule 424(b)(7)) containing information for the offering on behalf of such
persons.
III. Dividend or Interest Reinvestment Plans: Filing and Effectiveness of Registration Statement; Requests for Confidential
treatment
A registration statement on this Form S-3 relating solely to securities offered pursuant to dividend or interest reinvestment plans
will become effective automatically (Rule 462, §230.462 of this chapter) upon filing (Rule 456, §230.456 of this chapter). Post-effective
amendments to such a registration statement on this Form shall become effective upon filing (Rule 464, §230.464 of this chapter). All
filings made on or in connection with this Form become public upon filing with the Commission. As a result, requests for confidential
treatment made under Rule 406 (§230.406 of this chapter) must be processed with the Commission staff prior to the filing of such a reg-
istration statement. The number of copies of the registration statement and of each amendment required by Rules 402 and 472 (§§230.402
and 230.472 of this chapter) shall be filed with the Commission: provided, however, That the number of additional copies referred to in
Rule 402(b) may be reduced from ten to three and the number of additional copies referred to in Rule 472(a) may be reduced from eight
to three, one of which shall be marked clearly and precisely to indicate changes.
iV. registration of additional Securities and additional classes of Securities
a. registration of additional Securities Pursuant to rule 462(b). With respect to the registration of additional securities
for an offering pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act, the registrant may file a registration statement consisting only of the
following: the facing page; a statement that the contents of the earlier registration statement, identified by file number, are incorporated
by reference; required opinions and consents; the signature page; and any price-related information omitted from the earlier registration
statement in reliance on Rule 430A that the registrant chooses to include in the new registration statement. The information contained in
such a Rule 462(b) registration statement shall be deemed to be a part of the earlier registration statement as of the date of effectiveness

of the Rule 462(b) registration statement. Any opinion or consent required in the Rule 462(b) registration statement may be incorporated
by reference from the earlier registration statement with respect to the offering, if: (i) such opinion or consent expressly provides for such
incorporation; and (ii) such opinion relates to the securities registered pursuant to Rule 462(b). See Rule 411(c) and Rule 439(b) under
the Securities Act.
B. registration of additional Securities or classes of Securities or additional registrants after effectiveness. A
well-known seasoned issuer relying on General Instruction I.D. of this Form may register additional securities or classes of securities,
pursuant to Rule 413(b) by filing a post-effective amendment to the effective registration statement. The well-known seasoned issuer
may add majority-owned subsidiaries as additional registrants whose securities are eligible to be sold as part of the automatic shelf
registration statement by filing a post-effective amendment identifying the additional registrants, and the registrant and the additional
registrants and other persons required to sign the registration statement must sign the post-effective amendment. The post-effective
amendment must consist of the facing page; any disclosure required by this Form that is necessary to update the registration statement
to reflect the additional securities, additional classes of securities, or additional registrants; any required opinions and consents; and the
signature page. Required information, consents, or opinions may be included in the prospectus and the registration statement
through a post-effective amendment or may be provided through a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into
the registration statement and the prospectus that is part of the registration statement, or, as to the required information only, contained
in a prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is deemed part of and included in the registration statement and prospectus that is
part of the registration statement.

UTi Worldwide Q4 2013 Earnings Call: Q4 results reflect ongoing weakness in airfreight market, reduced activity
in contract logistics and very challenging pricing environment. While we maintained focus on expense control, we
could not adjust costs quickly enough to respond to soft market conditions and pricing declines. Reported loss for
first time since Q4 2009. GAAP net loss $1.38/sh; adjusted net loss $0.13. Revenues decreased 4.7%. Company
does not give guidance.

UTIW: Q4'13 Loss; When it Rains it Pours. Another qtr below expectations as forwarding market continues to be
challenging. Mgt said toughest op environment they have seen in many years. Reported Q413 operating eps of
negative $0.13 vs our estimate of $0.11 and consensus of $0.13. Fourth straight miss for UTi. Continues to make
progress with transformation. Maintain HOLD.
RBC
Transformation Fatigue. UTIW reported loss much worse than our and consensus EPS estimates. Extremely
disappointing result from company as it missed the mark in most areas. No signs of uptick in demand over next

Stuck in the Old Skin; Weak 2Q Shows Earnings Generation in Limbo amid Forwarding System Rollout. EPS
sharply lower than expectations driven by a combination of duplicative costs from their forwarding system rollout,
on-going competitive pressures in freight forwarding and a modest negative currency translation impact. Third
quarter in a row that UTIW delivered weak earnings and we expect trendt to continue in 2H14. Timing of
anticipated cost reduction/margin improvements from restructuring and forwading system rollout is likely in F15.

UTIW Q3 results: revenues $1.154.4b, a decrease of 0.2%; net loss $0.09; adjusted net earnings $0.08. Third
quarter results reflect increased activity in freight forwarding and contract logistics and distribution, offset by
transformation-related costs. Since Oct 1, we have launched 1View op system in five countries; now 27 live on the
systm representing 50% of total shipments. Expect to realize cumulative gross pre-tax cost savings of $75-95m.

In Line 3Q EPS; Raised Cost Savings Target Is Favorable But Will it Ultimately Translate? 3Q eps of $0.08 in line
with Street driven by strong volume growth in both air and ocean and improved CL&D activity, offset by pricing
and currency pressure. But more important than the 3Q result itself, in our view, was that UTIW indicated that the
company cut $30M of annualized pre-tax expense ($0.19/share after tax) at the end of 3Q and, additionally,
indicated that inclusive of the $30m, the company still has a total of $75-95m of gross annualized pre-tax cost
savings it can have in place by end of F2015. Remain Neutral pending evidence the cost savings will translate into
better EPS performance.

STEPH
In-Line 3Q14; IT Rollout On Track; Remain EW. Company reiterated guidance fro 70% of freight forwarding
shipments to be on the new IT system by fiscal year end (Jan). Cost save potential could meaningfully add to the
Company's earnings power (we estimate $0.30-0.40 net of amortization) we believe this is already reflected in
curent consensus expectations. Target remains $15 based on 18x our new FY16 EPS estimate of $0.80.

Hiccups with the IT rollout lead to liquidity crunch; This morning UTIW negatively preannounced 4FQ/14 results,

to weaker eanrings and cash collections.

1) airfreight market remains soft; 2) extra costs as new system roll-outs as a result of several delays and
duplicative costs; 3) working capital pressure higher receivables and weak cash collection; 4) macro headwinds in

Contemplating Potential Risks to Equity Holders Following UTIW's Capital Raise. It's a complete understatement
to say the investment community was taken by surprise with UTIW's intention to raise $525m in new convertible
debt and pref shares to recap balance sheet. Continued headwinds in freight forwarding and contract logistics
businesses triggered covenant breach and severe working cap drain due to implementation issues of new [IT]
systems caused company to almost completely draw down is revolving credit facility. Many more risks to making
purchases or continuing to own UTIW. Maintain EQ. Price target moves to $8.50 from $15.
