ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
On October 2, 2000, EGL, Inc., a Texas corporation ("EGL"),
completed the acquisition of Circle International Group, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Circle"), pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement
and Plan of Merger dated as of July 2, 2000 (the "Merger Agreement") among EGL,
EGL Delaware I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of EGL
("Merger Sub"), and Circle. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was
merged (the "Merger") with and into Circle, with Circle surviving as a wholly
owned subsidiary of EGL. The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free
reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes and as a "pooling of
interests" for accounting and financial reporting purposes.
As a result of the Merger, each share of Circle's common
stock, par value $1.00 per share ("Circle Common Stock"), issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than shares owned
by Circle, EGL or Merger Sub) has been converted into the right to receive one
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of EGL's common stock, par
value $0.001 per share ("EGL Common Stock"). In the aggregate, EGL is issuing
approximately 17,933,160 shares of EGL Common Stock in exchange for the issued
and outstanding shares of Circle Common Stock and expects to assume options
exercisable for up to 1,147,952 shares of EGL Common Stock. The exchange ratio
of one share of EGL Common Stock for each share of Circle Common Stock was
determined by arms-length negotiations between EGL and Circle.
Circle, the common stock of which was previously publicly
traded, is a leader in providing transportation and integrated logistics
services for the international movement of goods and the furnishing of
value-added information, distribution and inventory management services to
customers worldwide. Circle is principally engaged in international air and
ocean freight forwarding, customs brokerage and logistics. Circle provides
value-added services in addition to those customarily provided by traditional
air freight forwarders, ocean freight forwarders and customs brokers. These
services are designed to provide global logistics solutions for customers in
order to streamline their supply chain, reduce their inventories, improve their
logistics information, enhance their profitability and provide them with more
efficient and effective international distribution strategies. Circle's global
services are supplied through its network of over 300 offices, agents and
distribution centers located in over 100 countries on six continents. EGL
currently intends to continue these business activities of Circle.
There were no material relationships between EGL and Circle
prior to the consummation of the Merger. In accordance with the terms of the
Merger Agreement, Peter Gibert became a member of the Board of Directors of EGL
at the effective time of the Merger.
A press release announcing the completion of the Merger is
attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated
herein by reference.
