SECTION 2. FINANCIAL INFORMATION.

On January 23, 2026, FedEx Express FR (“FedEx France”), a subsidiary of FedEx Corporation (“FedEx”), announced a transformation program to modernize and simplify its domestic operations in France. A copy of the press release issued by FedEx France on January 23, 2026, announcing the plan is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The proposal may reduce up to 500 operational positions and change working locations and schedules for up to 800 operational team members. The execution of this plan is expected to occur over approximately 18 months and is subject to a consultation process in accordance with local country processes and regulations. We expect the pre-tax costs of severance benefits, legal and professional fees, and facilities lease termination charges to be provided under and related to the transformation program to range from $175 million to $275 million, substantially all of which are cash expenditures. These charges are expected to be incurred through fiscal 2028 and will be classified as business optimization costs, net of payments. The actual amount and timing of costs related to the transformation program are dependent on local country consultation processes and regulations and negotiation social plans and may differ from our current expectations and estimates.
