UTi Worldwide Inc.

Current Report on Form 8-K

As previously disclosed by UTi Worldwide Inc. (the “Company”), various governmental agencies either have investigated or are currently investigating alleged anti-competitive behavior in the international air freight forwarding and air cargo transportation industry.

With respect to the investigation by the South African Competition Commission (“SACC”) into alleged anti-competitive behavior relating to air freight forwarding services in South Africa, on February 29, 2012 the Company was informed by the SACC that the SACC decided not to refer a complaint against the Company to the South African Competition Tribunal. As a result, the SACC’s investigation with respect to the Company has ended without liability to the Company.

With respect to the investigation by the European Commission (“EC”) into alleged anti-competitive behavior relating to air freight forwarding services in the European Union/ European Economic area, on February 28, 2012 the Company learned that the EC’s staff intends to hold a “state of play” meeting with the Company, which meeting is currently scheduled for March 16, 2012. The purpose of such a meeting would typically be to enable the EC’s staff to communicate to the Company the staff’s position with respect to its investigation of the Company. The Company cannot predict the information that will be provided to it at this meeting nor the final outcome of the EC investigation with respect to the Company. An adverse determination by the EC against the Company in this matter could have a material adverse effect on the Company, its business and its financial condition.

Except for historical information contained herein, this Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are included with respect to, among other things, the Company’s discussion of the ongoing investigation by the EC into alleged anti-competitive behavior relating to air freight forwarding services in the European Union / European Economic area and the anticipated date of the “state of play” meeting between the Company and the staff of the EC, as well as any other statements not of a historical fact. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by any of the forward-looking statements and many factors may cause the actual results to differ materially from those discussed in any such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to the fact that the date of the proposed “state of play” meeting between the Company and the staff of the EC might change, the Company may not learn any new important information about the EC’s investigation at the meeting, and other risks and uncertainties associated with, and potential fines, penalties, costs and expenses the Company may incur as a result of, the ongoing investigation by the EC. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
