Hoedl and C. Stephan Wutke. Although no formal agreements among Messrs. Low, Hoedl and Wutke existed, there was an understanding that such persons would act in concert in voting their shares of the common stock of the Subject Company in favor of those actions proposed by Mr. Low as set forth in the Consent Solicitation. In connection with the above described withdrawal, Messrs. Low, Hoedl and Wutke no longer have any understanding with respect to the voting of their shares of common stock of the Subject Company. Additionally, there currently exist no agreements, arrangements or understandings among Messrs. Low, Hoedl and Wutke regarding their ownership of the common stock of the Subject Company. Accordingly, each of Messrs. Hoedl and Wutke is no longer a Reporting Person as a result of group membership with Mr. Low or otherwise. 2 SCHEDULE TO On April 12, 2000, Low Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Purchaser") wholly-owned by Robert E. Low, an individual currently residing in Springfield, Missouri ("Parent"), filed a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO in which the Purchaser commenced an offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Common Stock"), of KLLM Transport Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the associated preferred stock purchase rights of the Company (the "Rights" and, together with the Common Stock, the "Shares"), which are not owned by Parent or his affiliates at a price per share of $7.75 per Share, net to the seller in cash. The Offer to Purchase, dated April 12, 2000 (the "Offer to Purchase") and the related Letter of Transmittal together, as previously, hereby or hereafter amended or supplemented, constitute the Offer. Copies of the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal are filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B). This Amendment constitutes Amendment No. 5, the final amendment, to the Schedule TO to supplement and amend the previously filed Schedule TO, as heretofore amended, filed by Purchaser and Parent, and Amendment No. 11 to the Schedule 13D of Parent to supplement and amend the previously filed Schedule 13D, as heretofore amended. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned such terms in the Offer to Purchase and the Schedule TO. ITEMS 1 THROUGH 9 AND 11. Items 1 through 9 and 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented to include the following information: The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on June 9, 2000. Pursuant to the Offer, based upon a report from the Depositary for the Offer, 61,059 Shares were tendered representing approximately 1.5% of the outstanding Shares. Because the number of Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer was less than a majority of the outstanding Shares on a fully diluted basis, the Minimum Tender Condition was not satisfied. Accordingly, Purchaser has terminated the Offer. All Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer will be returned to the tendering stockholders in accordance with the Depositary's procedures. On June 12, 2000, Purchaser issued a press release announcing the termination of the Offer as described above, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(N) hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. ITEM 12. EXHIBITS.

Low today announced that in light of the definitive agreement entered into by KLLM Transport Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: KLLM) and a group headed by Jack Liles, KLLM's chief executive officer, Mr. Low did not extend the tender offer of Low Acquisition, Inc., his wholly owned corporation, for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of KLLM (and associated preferred stock purchase rights), which offer expired at 12:00 midnight on June 9, 2000. Accordingly, the Low offer has terminated. "At this time, I do not intend to raise my final offer," said Robert E. Low. "However, in the event that the transaction between KLLM and the Liles group is not completed, I would consider renewing a tender offer for KLLM." According to the Depositary, as of the expiration time, there were 61,059 shares of KLLM common stock (and associated preferred stock purchase rights) tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to Low's tender offer. These shares will be returned to their respective holders in accordance with the Depositary's procedures. # # # This news release is for information purposes only and is not an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell any shares of KLLM common stock and is not a solicitation of a proxy or written consents. If, at some future date, a new consent solicitation is commenced by Mr. Low and/or any affiliate of Mr. Low, a consent statement will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which statement would contain important information that should be read carefully by security holders of KLLM. Security holders would be able to obtain at no charge a consent statement and related materials when they become available on the Securities and Exchange Commission's web site at www.sec.gov.
