EGL, Inc. Announces Preliminary Results of its
Share Repurchase Tender Offer

Houston, Texas — September 29, 2005 — EGL, Inc. (Nasdaq — EAGL) today announced the preliminary results of its modified “Dutch Auction” self-tender offer to purchase up to 9,615,000 shares of its common stock. The tender offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Wednesday, September 28, 2005.

Based on the preliminary count by the depositary for the tender offer, an aggregate of 8,453,015 shares were properly tendered and not withdrawn at or below a price of $26.00, including 3,026,994 shares that were tendered through notices of guaranteed delivery. Because shareholders tendered less than 9,615,000 shares, EGL anticipates that the tendered shares will not be subject to proration. As a result, EGL expects to purchase approximately 8,453,015 shares at a purchase price of $26.00 per share. These shares represent approximately 17.9% of EGL’s shares outstanding as of August 24, 2005.

The number of shares to be purchased and the price per share are preliminary. The determination of the final number of shares to be purchased and the final price per share is subject to confirmation by the depositary of the proper delivery of the shares validly tendered and not withdrawn. The actual number of shares validly tendered and not withdrawn and the final price per share will be announced following the completion of the confirmation process. Payment for the shares accepted for purchase and return of all other shares tendered and not accepted for purchase (if any) will occur promptly thereafter. For questions and information about the tender offer, please contact the information agent, Morrow & Co., Inc., toll free at 1-800-607-0088.
