FedEx Announces Commencement of Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations for Senior Notes

MEMPHIS, Tenn., January 7, 2025 – FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) (“FedEx”) announced today the commencement of offers to exchange any and all of its outstanding senior notes of the series listed in the table below (the “Existing Notes”) for new notes to be issued by FedEx (the “New Notes”). As previously disclosed, FedEx has announced that its Board of Directors has decided to pursue a full separation of its FedEx Freight business through the capital markets, creating a new publicly traded company. The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations (each as defined herein) are being made in connection with the contemplated Separation (as defined herein). The Separation is not conditioned upon the completion of any of the Exchange Offers or Consent Solicitations, and none of the Exchange Offers or Consent Solicitations is conditioned upon the completion of the Separation.

The Separation will allow for more customized operational execution along with more tailored investment and capital allocation strategies to serve the unique and evolving needs of both the global parcel and the less-than-truckload markets. FedEx and FedEx Freight will also maintain the strategic advantages of cooperation on key commercial, operational and technology initiatives. FedEx believes that customers of both businesses will continue to enjoy the same superior service, speed and coverage they have come to expect from FedEx. The capital structure and financial policy of FedEx and FedEx Freight are important components of the Separation. To that end, FedEx does not intend to increase the leverage of FedEx in connection with the Separation. The Separation, together with certain related transactions, is intended to qualify as a transaction that is tax-free to FedEx stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is expected to be executed within the next 18 months. The Exchange Offers and the Consent Solicitations are being made to help FedEx and FedEx Freight optimize their respective capital structures after the Separation.

The following table sets forth the Exchange Consideration, Early Participation Payment and Total Consideration for each series of Existing Notes (each as defined herein):

Concurrently with the offers to exchange (each, an “Exchange Offer” and, collectively, the “Exchange Offers”) the Existing Notes for New Notes, FedEx is also soliciting consents from eligible holders of each series of Existing Notes (each, a “Consent Solicitation” and, collectively, the “Consent Solicitations”) to adopt certain proposed amendments to each of the indentures (each, an “Existing Indenture”) governing the Existing Notes of such series to provide for the automatic and unconditional release and discharge of the guarantee of FedEx Freight, Inc. at the time it ceases to be a subsidiary (as defined in the Existing Indentures) of FedEx in connection with the Separation with respect to that series of the Existing Notes (collectively, the “Proposed Amendments”). The Proposed Amendments will not amend or otherwise modify the provisions of the applicable indenture governing that series of the Existing Notes regarding the application of any proceeds upon the release of a 10% subsidiary guarantor. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offering Memorandum (as defined herein), if the requisite noteholder consent is received with respect to a series of Existing Notes in accordance with the applicable Existing Indenture, such Existing Indenture will be amended with respect each such series of Existing Notes. As used in this press release, the “Separation” means any sale, exchange, transfer, distribution, or other disposition of assets and/or capital stock of one or more subsidiaries of FedEx resulting in the separation of the FedEx Freight business through the capital markets to create a new publicly traded company.

The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are being made pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the confidential offering memorandum and consent solicitation statement, dated January 7, 2025 (the “Offering Memorandum”), and are conditioned upon certain conditions that may be waived by FedEx. Any waiver of a condition by FedEx with respect to an Exchange Offer will automatically waive such condition with respect to the corresponding Consent Solicitation, as applicable. None of the Exchange Offers or Consent Solicitations is subject to a financing condition or a minimum amount of Existing Notes tendered. The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations with respect to each series of Existing Notes are independent of each other, and FedEx may complete any one or more of the Exchange Offers or Consent Solicitations without completing any of the other Exchange Offers or Consent Solicitations.

Each Exchange Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 6, 2025, unless extended or terminated (such date and time with respect to an Exchange Offer, as may be extended for such Exchange Offer, the “Expiration Date”). To be eligible to receive the applicable Early Participation Payment, eligible holders must validly tender and not have properly withdrawn their Existing Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 22, 2025, unless extended or terminated (such date and time with respect to an Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, as the same may be extended for such Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, the “Early

Participation Date”). Eligible holders may not deliver a consent in the Consent Solicitation without tendering Existing Notes of the applicable series in the applicable Exchange Offer. Tendered Existing Notes may be properly withdrawn at any time before the 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on January 22, 2025 (the “Withdrawal Deadline”). Validly tendered Existing Notes may not be withdrawn subsequent to the Withdrawal Deadline, subject to limited exceptions. The settlement date for each Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation will be promptly following the Expiration Date of such Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation.

For each $1,000 principal amount of Existing USD Notes or €1,000 principal amount of Existing Euro Notes validly tendered and not properly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Participation Date, eligible holders will be eligible to receive an early participation payment of $30 principal amount of the New USD Notes (as defined herein) of the applicable series and $2.50 in cash or €30 principal amount of the New Euro Notes (as defined herein) of the applicable series and €2.50 in cash, as applicable (the “Early Participation Payment”). In addition, for each $1,000 principal amount of Existing USD Notes or €1,000 principal amount of Existing Euro Notes validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date, eligible holders will be eligible to receive $970 principal amount of the New USD Notes of the applicable series or €970 principal amount of the New Euro Notes of the applicable series, as applicable (the “Exchange Consideration”). The total consideration, consisting of (a) $970 principal amount of New USD Notes of the applicable series or €970 principal amount of New Euro Notes of the applicable series, as applicable, issued as Exchange Consideration plus (b) the Early Participation Payment, is herein referred to as the “Total Consideration.”

Each series of New Notes will have the same interest rate, interest payment dates, maturity date and optional redemption provisions as the corresponding series of Existing Notes; provided that (a) the methodology for calculating any make-whole redemption price for the New USD Notes will reflect the SIFMA model provisions, as set forth in the Offering Memorandum, and (b) FedEx will be permitted to deliver notices of redemption that are subject to one or more conditions precedent with respect to the New Notes. No accrued and unpaid interest is payable upon acceptance of any Existing Notes in the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations. However, the first interest payment on each series of New Notes will include the accrued and unpaid interest from the applicable Existing Notes tendered in exchange therefor so that a tendering eligible holder will receive the same interest payment it would have received had its Existing Notes not been tendered in the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations.

Each series of New Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the same subsidiaries of FedEx that guarantee the Existing Notes of such series.
