SECTION 5. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT.

 

Item 5.02.    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On March 9, 2026, the Board of Directors of FedEx Corporation (“FedEx” or the “Company"), upon the recommendation of its Compensation and Human Resources Committee, approved amendments to the Company’s FY25–FY27 long term incentive plan and FY26–FY28 long-term incentive plan, which are based on the Company's current May 31 fiscal year end (collectively, the “LTI Plans”), to (1) measure actual performance under each LTI Plan through the end of FY26 using the original performance goals of the applicable plan and (2) assume target performance for the remaining period of each applicable plan, with payouts to be calculated under each LTI Plan using a weighted average of actual performance measured through the end of FY26 and target performance for the remainder of the applicable plan period, as set forth below:

 

LTI Plan FY25 FY26 FY27 FY28 Payout
Calculation*
FY25–FY27 Actual F25 Performance Actual FY26 Performance Target (100%)

 

67% actual performance; 33% target
FY26–FY28 Actual FY26 Performance Target (100%) Target (100%)

33% actual performance;

67% target

 

*Payouts will be made after May 31, 2027 or May 31, 2028, as applicable.

 

The amendments to the LTI Plans were made in consideration of the impact on the LTI Plans of the planned spin-off of FedEx Freight into a newly public company, which is on track to be completed on June 1, 2026 (the “Spin-off”), and the change in the Company’s fiscal year end from May 31 to December 31, which will be effective June 1, 2026.

 

The amendments to the LTI Plans are effective for all participants in the LTI Plans who remain employees of the Company following the Spin-off, including the Company’s named executive officers (“NEOs”) as set forth in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 18, 2025 (the “2025 Proxy Statement”). Except as described in this Current Report, no changes to the performance metrics and payout opportunities under the LTI Plans were made. Additional details regarding the LTI Plans, including the payout opportunities under each LTI plan for the NEOs, are described on pages 55 through 60 of the 2025 Proxy Statement.

FAQ

What compensation changes did FedEx (FDX) disclose in this Form 8-K?

How will FedEx (FDX) calculate payouts under the FY25–FY27 LTI plan?

The FY25–FY27 long-term incentive plan will use 67% actual performance for FY25–FY26 and 33% target performance for FY27. Payouts tied to this plan will be made after May 31, 2027, according to the company’s disclosure.

How will FedEx (FDX) calculate payouts under the FY26–FY28 LTI plan?

The FY26–FY28 long-term incentive plan will use 33% actual performance for FY26 and 67% target performance for FY27–FY28. Payouts associated with this plan will be made after May 31, 2028, based on the weighted outcome.

Why is FedEx (FDX) revising its long-term incentive plans now?

Who at FedEx (FDX) is affected by the amended LTI plans?

The amendments apply to all participants in the FY25–FY27 and FY26–FY28 long-term incentive plans who remain employees after the spin-off. This includes FedEx’s named executive officers as identified in its 2025 definitive proxy statement.

When is the FedEx Freight spin-off and fiscal year-end change expected?
