Insights

Routine option exercise with shares withheld for taxes; no open-market selling.

Director Stephen E. Gorman exercised stock options for 4,727 FedEx shares at an exercise price of $146.62 per share. This converts a derivative award into direct common stock ownership, a typical step in long-term equity compensation.

The company withheld 1,785 shares at $388.46 per share to pay the exercise cost under the FedEx 2019 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, classified as a tax-withholding disposition, not a market sale. Following these moves, Gorman directly holds 6,552 common shares, and the specific option grant exercised here no longer has remaining unexercised options.

tax-withholding disposition financial
"transaction_action": "tax-withholding disposition""
A tax-withholding disposition is an event or transaction—such as selling or transferring securities, exercising options, or receiving compensation—that triggers a requirement to hold back part of the payment and remit it to tax authorities. It matters to investors because it reduces the cash they receive immediately and can change the timing and amount of taxable income, like a cashier taking a portion of your sale proceeds to pay taxes before you get the rest.

dividend reinvestment financial
"4 shares that were acquired via dividend reinvestment as a result of dividends paid"
Dividend reinvestment is when the money earned from a company's profit sharing, called dividends, is automatically used to buy more shares of that company instead of being received as cash. This process helps investors grow their holdings over time without extra effort, much like using earned interest to buy more of a savings account. It encourages long-term investment growth by continuously increasing the amount of shares owned.
