Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously disclosed, FedEx Corporation (“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.

On January 7, 2025, FedEx announced the commencement, in connection with the contemplated Separation (as defined herein), of offers to exchange any and all of its outstanding senior notes of certain series (the “Existing Notes”) for new notes to be issued by FedEx (the “New Notes”). Concurrently with the offers to exchange (collectively, the “Exchange Offers”) the Existing Notes for New Notes, FedEx is also soliciting consents from eligible holders of each series of Existing Notes (collectively, the “Consent Solicitations”) to adopt certain proposed amendments to each of the indentures 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 applicable existing indenture) of FedEx in connection with the Separation with respect to that series of the Existing Notes (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. As used in this Current Report on Form 8-K, 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 New Notes offered in the Exchange Offers have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state or foreign securities laws. The New Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States or to any U.S. persons except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

A copy of the press release issued by FedEx is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
