EGL, INC. ANNOUNCES SPECIAL COMMITTEE PROCESS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE

HOUSTON, February 12, 2007 — EGL, Inc. (NASDAQ: EAGL) The board of directors of EGL, Inc. (Nasdaq: EAGL) has issued a statement following the withdrawal by General Atlantic LLC as an equity sponsor from the offer made by James R. Crane, the Company’s largest shareholder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. A Special Committee was formed by the board to review and evaluate the proposal originally made by Mr. Crane and General Atlantic. The Special Committee’s 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. As recently announced, the Special Committee was notified on February 6, 2007 that General Atlantic LLC had withdrawn as an equity sponsor from the offer made by Mr. Crane. At the same time, Mr. Crane informed the Special Committee that he intends to seek alternative equity sources to replace General Atlantic and present a revised offer to the Board reflecting any such new equity commitments. There can be no assurance that any revised offer from Mr. Crane or any offer from a third party will be made, or that the terms of any offer received, if any, 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.
