Default Dhl/ups Deal Signed

I just heard ABX and Astar are parking all their aircraft come January 31 and the deal with UPS has been signed. Can anyone confirm this with an official release?

The "deal" would potentially be to move DHL's intl packages from their hubs to US destinations via UPS' domestic network. That would only be 10% of what the original deal called for since DHL is leaving the domestic package delivery business in the US.
