FedEx Completes Spin-Off of FedEx Freight

Key Terms

spin-off financial

A spin-off happens when a company creates a new, independent business by separating part of itself, like splitting off a division into its own company. This often happens so the new company can focus better on its own goals or attract different investors. It matters because it can lead to more growth opportunities and clearer focus for both companies.

less-than-truckload (LTL) technical

Less-than-truckload (LTL) is a shipping method that combines multiple smaller shipments from different customers into a single truck, like sharing a car instead of each person driving separately. It matters to investors because LTL affects companies’ delivery costs, inventory speed and reliability, and how efficiently supply chains operate—factors that influence profit margins, pricing power and the ability to meet customer demand.

pro rata financial

Pro rata means dividing or distributing something proportionally based on a specific factor, such as ownership or contribution. For example, if an investor owns 10% of a company, they would receive 10% of any dividends or benefits allocated. This approach ensures everyone gets their fair share relative to their stake or input, helping investors understand how benefits, costs, or responsibilities are fairly shared.

• Creates Two Independent, Industry-Leading Public Companies Positioned to Deliver Long-Term Stockholder Value
• FedEx Freight Begins Trading Today on the New York Stock Exchange under Ticker “FDXF”

MEMPHIS, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX, “FedEx”) today announced the completion of its spin-off of FedEx Freight Holding Company, Inc. (NYSE: FDXF, “FedEx Freight”), establishing FedEx Freight as an independent, publicly traded company and focused leader in the North American less-than-truckload (LTL) industry. FedEx Freight common stock will begin “regular way” trading today on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “FDXF.” FedEx will continue to trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “FDX.”

“The successful separation of FedEx Freight is a pivotal milestone, positioning two independent companies to lead their respective industries and create long-term value for their stockholders,” said Raj Subramaniam, FedEx president and chief executive officer. “Today’s spin-off positions FedEx Freight to build on its market-leading scale and a customer-focused culture, and advances the next chapter for FedEx as the industrial network that helps power the global economy.”

The spin-off was achieved through the distribution by FedEx of 80.1% of the outstanding shares of FedEx Freight’s common stock on a pro rata basis to the holders of FedEx common stock. Each FedEx stockholder received one share of FedEx Freight common stock for every two shares of FedEx common stock held of record as of the close of business on May 15, 2026. Stockholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares of FedEx Freight common stock.

FedEx retained 19.9% of the outstanding shares of FedEx Freight common stock. FedEx will dispose of such shares within 24 months of the completion of the separation through one or more subsequent exchanges in repayment of certain FedEx debt held by FedEx creditors and/or through distributions to stockholders of FedEx as dividends or in exchange for outstanding shares of FedEx common stock.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC served as the financial advisors, and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP served as legal counsel.
