Hub Group, Inc. Announces a Definitive Agreement to Acquire Assets of Interdom Partners

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., June 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Hub Group
(Nasdaq: HUBG) announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement
to acquire the assets of Interdom Partners. Hub will hold a conference call
at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time (9:00 a.m. Central Time) on June 7 to discuss the
transaction.

Interdom is a privately held non-asset based Intermodal Marketing Company
that specializes in providing 20′ and 40′ container services to international
and domestic customers. Interdom was established in 1987, has approximately
50 employees and is headquartered in Palos Heights, Illinois. Interdom owns
and operates two non-asset based drayage companies in Chicago and Los Angeles
with a total of approximately 40 owner operators. These drayage companies
provide services for Interdom and other intermodal customers. The businesses
being acquired generated approximately $90 million in revenue in 2006.

Hub will pay approximately $26 million in cash at closing, which is
expected to occur at the end of June. The purchase price will be subject to
adjustment based on Interdom’s retained earnings and working capital at
closing. In addition, the agreement provides for an earn-out for 2007 and
2008, consisting of two cash payments which combined will not exceed $5
million. The closing is subject to certain customary closing conditions and
approvals.

David Yeager, Hub’s CEO, commented, “We are very excited about this
strategic acquisition. We have known Interdom for over 20 years as both a
vendor and formidable competitor. Under the leadership of its founder and
president, Rick Rudie, Interdom has developed a market-leading position in the
international container segment. Interdom is a leading provider of third
party international services and the acquisition will provide Hub with an
entry into this growing market. Interdom also operates a sizable domestic
reload business. We plan to combine our domestic reload business with
Interdom’s to create what we believe will be the largest player in this
market. This combined entity will operate under the Interdom name and will be
managed by Mr. Rudie. Finally, Interdom’s two drayage operations, serving
primarily international customers, represent a good fit with our existing
Comtrak operations.” Mr. Yeager closed by saying, “We welcome the Interdom
employees and customers and look forward to serving the market with our
combined resources.”
