EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (“Amendment No. 1”) amends the Werner Enterprises, Inc. (“Werner”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “Original Filing”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 25, 2015. Werner is filing this Amendment No. 1 solely for the purpose of correcting the Five-Year Cumulative Total Return graph and accompanying data table under the heading “Performance Graph” in Item 5 of the Original Filing. The performance graph incorrectly reported the cumulative total return for Werner without consideration of dividends paid by Werner. As required by applicable SEC rules, the complete text of Item 5 of the Original Filing is restated in its entirety in this Amendment No. 1.
Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this Amendment No. 1 also contains new certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment No. 1 and this Amendment No. 1 does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 does not include new Section 906 certifications.
Except as described in this Amendment No. 1, there have been no changes to any financial or other information contained in the Original Filing. This Amendment No. 1 continues to speak as of February 25, 2015, the date of the Original Filing, and we have not updated any disclosures to reflect subsequent events which occurred after that date, except as noted herein.

ITEM 5. | MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES |
Price Range of Common Stock
Our common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Select MarketSM tier of the NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbol “WERN”. The following table sets forth, for the quarters indicated from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2014, (i) the high and low trade prices per share of our common stock quoted on the NASDAQ Global Select MarketSM and (ii) our dividends declared per common share.
2014 | 2013 | ||||||||||
High | Low | Dividends Declared Per Common Share | High | Low | Dividends Declared Per Common Share | ||||||
Quarter Ended: | |||||||||||
March 31 | $26.87 | $24.26 | $0.05 | $25.02 | $22.02 | $0.05 | |||||
June 30 | 27.01 | 24.72 | 0.05 | 25.44 | 21.80 | 0.05 | |||||

December 31 | 31.71 | 23.50 | 0.05 | 25.24 | 22.86 | 0.05 | |||||
As of February 19, 2015, our common stock was held by 242 stockholders of record. Because many of our shares of common stock are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, we are unable to estimate the total number of stockholders represented by these record holders. The high and low trade prices per share of our common stock in the NASDAQ Global Select MarketSM as of February 19, 2015 were $32.15 and $31.26, respectively.
Dividend Policy
We have paid cash dividends on our common stock following each fiscal quarter since the first payment in July 1987. We currently intend to continue paying a regular quarterly dividend. We do not currently anticipate any restrictions on our future ability to pay such dividends. However, we cannot give any assurance that dividends will be paid in the future or of the amount of any such quarterly or special dividends because they are dependent on our earnings, financial condition and other factors.
Equity Compensation Plan Information
For information on our equity compensation plans, please refer to Item 12 of Part III of this Form 10-K.

Assuming the investment of $100 on December 31, 2009, and reinvestment of all dividends, the graph above compares the cumulative total stockholder return on our common stock for the last five fiscal years with the cumulative total return of Standard & Poor’s 500 Market Index and an index of other companies included in the trucking industry (NASDAQ Trucking Group – Standard Industrial Classification Code 42) over the same period. Our stock price was $31.15 as of December 31, 2014. This price was used for purposes of calculating the total return on our common stock for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
On October 15, 2007, we announced that on October 11, 2007 our Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of shares of our common stock that Werner Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) is authorized to repurchase. Under this authorization, the Company is permitted to repurchase an additional 8,000,000 shares. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had purchased 3,062,291 shares pursuant to this authorization and had 4,937,709 shares remaining available for repurchase. The Company may purchase shares from time to time depending on market, economic and other factors. The authorization will continue unless withdrawn by the Board of Directors.
No shares of common stock were repurchased during the fourth quarter of 2014 by either the Company or any “affiliated purchaser”, as defined by Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act.
