PRELIMINARY NOTE
The person filing this Amendment No. 4 is Tweedy, Browne Company LLC
("TBC"), a Delaware limited liability company. This Amendment No. 2 amends a
Statement on Schedule 13D filed by TBC and TBK Partners, LLC ("TBK")(formerly
TBK Partners, L.P.) dated June 30, 1999. (the "Statement"). As a result of a
reorganization, TBC is the Managing Member of TBK and as such may be deemed to
be the beneficial owner of shares held by TBK. The filing of this Amendment
No. 4 should not be deemed an admission that TBC and TBK comprise a group
within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Act").
This Amendment No. 4 relates to the Class A - Common Stock, $0.01 par
value (the "Common Stock") of Hub Group, Inc. (the "Company"), which, to the
best knowledge of the persons filing this Amendment No. 4, is a company
organized under the laws of Delaware, with its principal executive offices
located at 377 East Butterfield Road, Suite 700, Lombard, Illinois 60148.
This Amendment No. 4 contains information regarding shares of Common
Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by TBC. Such shares are
held in the accounts of various customers of TBC, with respect to which it has
investment discretion and sole or shared voting power (the "TBC Accounts").
Other than as set forth herein, to the best knowledge of TBC, there has
been no material change in the information set forth in response to Items 1,2,
6 and 7 of the Statement, as amended. Accordingly, those Items are omitted
from this Amendment No. 4.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
Other than as set forth herein, to the best knowledge of TBC
there has been no material change in the information set forth in Item 2 of
the Statement, as amended.
(a) The members of TBC are Christopher H. Browne, William H. Browne,
John D. Spears, Thomas H. Shrager, Robert Q. Wyckoff, Jr. (the "TBC Members ")
and AMG/TBC Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"). Messrs. Christopher H. Browne,
William H. Browne and John D. Spears are members of the management committee
that operates TBC on a daily basis including making investment decisions (the
"TBC Committee Members").
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNTS OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
As of the date hereof, the number of shares with respect to which TBC
may be deemed to be the beneficial owner is 604,866 shares of Common Stock
(the "TBC Shares"). Such shares are held in the accounts of various customers
of TBC with respect to which TBC has obtained investment discretion and sole
or shared voting authority (the "TBC Accounts"). All of the TBC Shares were
purchased in open market transactions. The aggregate cost of the TBC Shares,
including brokerage commissions, was $8,333,120.
The TBC Shares are held in the TBC Accounts, the funds therefor coming
from the funds on hand in each individual managed account and in certain
instances from standard margin account borrowings from brokerage accounts
maintained at U.S. Clearing. It is expected that the funds used by the TBC
Accounts to purchase additional shares of Common Stock, if additional shares
are purchased by the TBC Accounts (see Item 4 hereof), will come from the
funds on hand for each individual managed account, some of which funds may be
borrowed pursuant to margin accounts maintained at U.S. Clearing or borrowings
made pursuant to arrangements or Line of Credit Agreements with certain
clients' custodian banks. Borrowings made by certain TBC Accounts pursuant to
such margin accounts are secured by margin securities owned by the respective
accounts, including some of the TBC Shares. Interest on outstanding
borrowings under such margin accounts ranges from 1/2% to 2% over the brokers'
call rate in effect from time to time at The Bank of New York, New York, New
York, depending upon the amount of outstanding borrowings at any given time.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
The TBC Accounts have acquired the shares of Common Stock owned by it
for investment purposes and for none of the reasons enumerated in Item 4 of
Schedule 13D, except as set forth herein. TBC may dispose of all or some of
the TBC Shares, or may acquire additional shares of Common Stock from time to
time, depending upon price and market conditions, evaluation of alternative
investments, and other factors. Currently, TBC intends to acquire additional
shares of Common Stock in the open market, depending upon the price of the
Common Stock from time to time. However, the TBC Shares are subject to client
directions; e.g., should a TBC Account decide to liquidate, TBC would be
instructed to sell certain of the TBC Shares.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
(a) As of the date hereof, TBC may be deemed to be the beneficial
owner of an aggregate of 604,866 shares of Common Stock, which constitutes
approximately 8.58% of the 7,046,050 shares of Common Stock, which TBC
believes to be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. The
TBC Shares are held in the TBC Accounts.
TBC disclaims that it is the beneficial owner of any of the shares of
Common Stock held in the TBC Accounts. Nothing contained herein shall be
construed as an admission that TBC is the beneficial owner of any of the TBC
Shares.
The TBC Committee Members may be deemed to be the beneficial owner by
reason of their being a Member of TBC of 604,866 shares, which constitutes
approximately 8.58% of the 7,046,050 shares of Common Stock outstanding.
However, nothing contained herein shall be construed as an admission that any
of the TBC Members is the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock.
Each of TBC and the TBC Members disclaims beneficial ownership of
Common Stock. Except as described herein, to the best knowledge of TBC, no
person who may be deemed to comprise a group with TBC, or any other person
named in Item 2 of the Statement, as amended, beneficially owns any shares of
Common Stock.
(b) TBC has investment discretion with respect to 604,866 shares of
Common Stock held by the TBC Accounts and has sole power to dispose or direct
the disposition of all of such shares. Of these shares of Common Stock, TBC
has sole power to vote or to direct the voting of 602,676 shares of Common
Stock held in certain TBC Accounts.
The TBC Committee Members, solely by reason of their positions as
such, may be deemed to have (i) shared power to dispose or to direct the
disposition of all of the shares of Common Stock held in the TBC Accounts; and
(ii) shared power to vote or direct the vote of 602,676 shares of Common
Stock held in certain TBC Accounts. However, each of the individual members
disclaims beneficial ownership of any of the shares of Common Stock held in
the TBC Accounts.

period ended as of the date hereof are set forth below:
