Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 20, 2004, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of EGL, Inc., a Texas corporation (the "Company"), approved stock option grants to certain employees as well as restricted stock grants to the Company's executive officers, as described below.  The grants were made under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan.
The following table identifies the name of the award recipient, his position with the Company, and the number of restricted shares granted to each recipient, subject to the achievement of certain performance criteria:
Name
Position

The actual number of restricted shares granted to an executive officer will be based on whether the Company achieves certain annual earnings per share ("EPS") targets for fiscal year 2005, as determined in March 2006 upon completion of the audit by the Company's independent auditors.  If the Company's EPS does not meet or exceed the minimum threshold (EPS Target 1), then the executive officers will not receive any restricted shares.  If the Company's EPS meets or exceeds the minimum threshold, then the executive officers will receive restricted shares based on the level of the Company's EPS (either EPS Target 1 or 2).  In no event will an executive officer receive more than the maximum number of shares set forth opposite his name in the table above.
If the Company meets or exceeds the minimum EPS threshold, then one-fifth of the restricted shares will vest in March 2006 (upon completion of the 2005 annual audit by the Company's independent auditors).  The remaining restricted shares will then vest in four equal installments on December 20, 2006, December 20, 2007, December 20, 2008 and finally on December 20, 2009.  Upon vesting, the shares of common stock of the Company awarded as set forth above shall have no further restrictions.
