Item 2.02
Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On February 7, 2007, EGL, Inc. (the Company) issued a press release providing updates on its
expected results and financial condition for the fourth quarter and year-end 2006. A copy of the
press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, and the information contained in Exhibit 99.1
relating to the Companys expected results and financial condition for the fourth quarter and
year-end 2006 is incorporated into this Item 2.02 by reference.
The information furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02, including the portion of Exhibit 99.1
incorporated into this Item, shall not be deemed to be filed for the purposes of Section 18 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and will not be incorporated by reference into any
filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as
being incorporated therein by reference.
Item 8.01
Other Events.
On February 7, 2007 the Company issued a press release announcing that the special committee
of its board of directors has been notified by General Atlantic LLC that it has withdrawn as an
equity sponsor from the offer made by James R. Crane, the Companys largest shareholder, Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, and General Atlantic to acquire all of the outstanding
equity interests of the Company for $36.00 per share in cash. General Atlantic indicated that its
participation in the offer has been withdrawn due to an expected shortfall in EGLs fourth quarter
2006 results, as compared to amounts previously anticipated by analysts and by General Atlantic.
Mr. Crane has informed the special committee of the Companys board of directors that he
intends to pursue one or more alternative equity sources to replace General Atlantic and that he
intends to present a revised offer to the board reflecting any such new equity commitments.
On February 12, 2007, the Company issued a press release announcing that the board of
directors has issued a statement following the withdrawal by General Atlantic LLC as an equity
sponsor. A special committee was formed by the board to review and evaluate the proposal originally
made by Mr. Crane and General Atlantic. The special committees role has also encompassed
reviewing and evaluating strategic alternatives in addition to that proposal. In that regard, the
special committee had authorized its financial advisor, Deutsche Bank Securities, to solicit
interest from third parties for the sale of the Company, and that process had begun prior to the
withdrawal by General Atlantic. Although it has not reached any conclusion as to whether a sale or
any other alternative should be pursued, the special committee currently expects to continue its
process of investigating strategic alternatives regardless of whether Mr. Crane revises or
terminates his prior offer.
There can be no assurance that any revised offer or definitive offer will be made by Mr. Crane
or by any third party, as to what the terms of any such offer will be, that the terms of any offer
received will be acceptable to the special committee, that any agreement will be executed or that
this or any other transaction will be approved or consummated.
Copies of the February 7, 2007 and February 12, 2007 press releases are included as Exhibits
99.1 and 99.2 respectively to this Form 8-K and, except as incorporated into Item 2.02 above, are
incorporated into this Item 8.01 by reference.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
The statements included in and incorporated by reference into Items 2.02 and 8.01 of this
Current Report on Form 8-K regarding fourth quarter and year-end results, shortfall in financial
performance, alternative equity sources, any alternative or revised offer pursued by Mr. Crane, any
strategic alternatives, continuation of process, sale or other transaction, and other statements
that are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks and
uncertainties including, but not limited to, results of audit and reviews, market conditions,
availability and terms of any alternative equity financing, availability of other acquisition
financing, approval of any offer or strategic alternative by the special committee and board, the
Companys financial results and performance, actions by Mr. Crane or other bidders with respect to
any future bid and other factors detailed in risk factors and elsewhere in the Companys Annual
Reports on Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Should one or
more of these risks or uncertainties materialize (or the consequences of such a development
worsen), or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from
those forecasted or expected. The company disclaims any intention or obligation to update publicly
or revise such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
