PROSPECTUS
DEBT SECURITIES
COMMON STOCK
COMMON STOCK
We may offer and sell from time to time, in one or more offerings, any combination of our debt securities or common stock. This prospectus describes the general terms of these securities and the general manner in which we will offer them. We will provide the specific prices and terms of these securities in one or more supplements to this prospectus at the time of offering. The prospectus supplements also will describe the specific manner in which we will offer these securities and also may supplement, update, or amend information contained in this prospectus.
Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be guaranteed by Federal Express Corporation, FedEx Office and Print Services, Inc., Federal Express Europe, Inc., Federal Express Holdings S.A., LLC and Federal Express International, Inc. (collectively, the “subsidiary guarantors”). See “Description of Debt Securities and Guarantees — Guarantees.”
Prior to their issuance, there will have been no market for the debt securities. Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, we do not intend to apply for the listing of any series of debt securities on a national securities exchange.
Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “FDX.” On July 20, 2026, the last reported sale price of our common stock as reported on the NYSE was $306.22 per share. Each prospectus supplement will indicate whether the securities offered thereby will be listed on any securities exchange.
We may offer and sell these securities on a continuous or delayed basis directly, through agents, dealers, or underwriters as designated from time to time, or through a combination of these methods. We reserve the sole right to accept, and together with any agents, dealers, and underwriters, reserve the right to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of securities. If any agents, dealers, or underwriters are involved in the sale of any securities, the applicable prospectus supplement will set forth any applicable commissions or discounts. Our net proceeds from the sale of securities also will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. If required, the prospectus supplement for each offering of securities will describe the plan of distribution for that offering. For general information about the distribution of securities offered, please see “Plan of Distribution” in this prospectus.
This prospectus may not be used to consummate sales of these securities unless accompanied by a prospectus supplement. You should read this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, as well as any information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information,” carefully before you invest.
Investing in our debt securities and common stock involves certain risks. See “Risk Factors” on page 6 before you make your investment decision.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
The date of this prospectus is July 21, 2026.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS
This prospectus is part of a “shelf” registration statement that we have filed with the SEC. By using a shelf registration statement, we and/or the subsidiary guarantors, as applicable, may sell, at any time and from time to time, in one or more offerings, any combination of the securities described in this prospectus. As allowed by SEC rules, this prospectus does not contain all the information you can find in the registration statement or the exhibits to the registration statement. For further information about our business and the securities, you should refer to the registration statement and its exhibits. The exhibits to our registration statement contain the full text of certain contracts and other important documents we have summarized in this prospectus. Because these summaries may not contain all the information that you may find important in deciding whether to purchase the securities we offer, you should review the full text of these documents. The registration statement and the exhibits thereto can be obtained from the SEC, as indicated under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.”
This prospectus provides you with only a general description of the securities we and the subsidiary guarantors may offer. Each time we and the subsidiary guarantors offer securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that contains specific information about the terms of those securities. The prospectus supplement may also add, update, or change information contained in this prospectus. You should read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, together with the additional information described below under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.”
We have not authorized any person to provide you with information other than that contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement prepared by us or on our behalf or to which we have referred you. We take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any information that others may give you. We are not making an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date on the front cover of this prospectus, regardless of the date of delivery of this prospectus or any sales of securities made in connection herewith. In the case of information contained in documents we file with the SEC and incorporate by reference in this prospectus, you should assume that such information is accurate only as of the respective dates of those documents. Our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, and prospects may have changed since those dates.
References in this prospectus to “we,” “us,” “our,” and “FedEx” are to FedEx Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires.

ABOUT OUR COMPANY
FedEx provides customers and businesses worldwide with a broad portfolio of transportation, e-commerce, and business services, offering integrated business solutions utilizing its flexible, efficient, and intelligent global network. FedEx’s primary operating company is Federal Express Corporation, the world’s largest express transportation company and a leading North American provider of small-package ground delivery services.
On June 1, 2026, FedEx completed the separation of FedEx’s less-than-truckload freight transportation services business, including FedEx Custom Critical, Inc., LTL Select, and other businesses operated under FedEx’s FedEx Freight reporting segment, through the capital markets, creating a new publicly traded company (the “Spin-Off”).
Effective June 1, 2026, FedEx changed its fiscal year end from May 31 to December 31.
Following the Spin-Off and beginning June 1, 2026, FedEx has two reportable business segments:
•
Express U.S. Domestic: Express U.S. Domestic offers a wide range of U.S. domestic shipping services for packages and freight including overnight, deferred, and same day package delivery services, and express overnight and deferred freight services to handle the needs of the time-definite freight market. Express U.S. Domestic is a leading provider of day-definite business and residential delivery services for packages weighing up to 150 pounds. Our service reaches 100% of the continental U.S. population. We offer day-definite delivery to 99% of the U.S. population on Saturdays and to nearly two-thirds of the U.S. population on Sundays. We also offer an economy service that is available for the consolidation and delivery of high volumes of low-weight, less time-sensitive business-to-consumer packages to any residential address in the U.S.
•
Express International: Express International offers a wide range of shipping services for delivery of packages and freight, connecting markets that generate more than 99% of the world’s gross domestic product. The Express International segment also includes FedEx Logistics, which provides international trade services, specializing in customs brokerage, global ocean and air freight forwarding, and managed transportation. FedEx Logistics also provides customs clearance services at its major U.S. air hub facilities and border customs clearance for U.S. surface operations, and global door-to-door air charter solutions.
The mailing address of our principal executive offices is 942 South Shady Grove Road, Memphis, Tennessee 38120. Our main telephone number is (901) 818-7500.
The address of our website is fedex.com. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference in, and does not form a part of, this prospectus or any prospectus supplement.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves risks. In connection with any investment in our securities, you should consider carefully (i) the factors identified under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, as updated by our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K; (ii) the other information set forth elsewhere in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus; and (iii) any risk factors set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Each of the risks described in these documents could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and could result in a partial or complete loss of your investment. See “Where You Can Find More Information” in this prospectus. You should also carefully review the cautionary statement in this prospectus referred to under “Forward-Looking Statements.”
USE OF PROCEEDS
Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, we currently intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities for our general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, capital expenditures, working capital, repayment or reduction of indebtedness and the financing of business acquisitions.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES AND GUARANTEES
In this “Description of Debt Securities and Guarantees” section, references to “we,” “us,” “our” and “FedEx” are to FedEx Corporation, and its successors, as the issuer of debt securities that may be offered hereunder.
The debt securities and guarantees covered by this prospectus will be issued under the indenture (the “indenture”) to be entered into by FedEx, the subsidiary guarantors named therein and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee.
The following summary describes the general terms and provisions of the debt securities and guarantees covered by this prospectus. When we offer to sell a particular series of debt securities, we will describe in a prospectus supplement the specific terms of, and the extent, if any, to which the general terms set forth below do not apply to, such debt securities and guarantees. If any information set forth in a prospectus supplement regarding the terms and provisions of a particular series of debt securities and guarantees is inconsistent with the information set forth below, the information in the prospectus supplement will supersede and replace the information in this prospectus.
Because the following is a summary, it may not contain all the information that may be important to you. For further information, you should read the indenture, a form of which is an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and any relevant prospectus supplement. A copy of the indenture and any prospectus supplement will also be available from us upon request at the contact information specified in “Where You Can Find More Information.” This summary is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the indenture, including definitions of certain terms used in it. In the following summary, we have included references to section numbers of the indenture so that you can easily locate these provisions. The terms of the debt securities will include those set forth in the indenture and those made a part of the indenture by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (“TIA”).
Terms; Form and Denomination
We may issue debt securities under the indenture from time to time in one or more series, which may be senior debt securities or subordinated debt securities and which may be convertible into another security, each in an amount we authorize prior to issuance. The indenture does not limit the aggregate amount of debt securities we may issue under the indenture. Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be guaranteed by Federal Express Corporation, FedEx Office and Print Services, Inc., Federal Express Europe, Inc., Federal Express Holdings S.A., LLC and Federal Express International, Inc. (who we refer to throughout this prospectus as the “subsidiary guarantors”). The subsidiary guarantors currently guarantee our obligations under our outstanding unsecured debt securities and revolving credit facilities.
The indenture does not contain any debt covenants or other provisions that would afford the holders of the debt securities protection in the event we participate in a highly leveraged transaction.
The prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities being offered will include specific terms relating to the offering. These terms will include some or all of the following:
•
the title and aggregate principal amount of the debt securities and any limit on the aggregate principal amount of such series;
•
any applicable subordination provisions for any subordinated debt securities;
•
the maturity date(s) or method for determining same;
•
the interest rate(s) or the method for determining same;
•
the dates on which interest will accrue or the method for determining dates on which interest will accrue and dates on which interest will be payable and whether interest will be payable in cash, additional securities or some combination thereof;
•
whether the debt securities are convertible or exchangeable into other securities and any related terms and conditions;
7
•
redemption or early repayment provisions;
•
authorized denominations;
•
if other than the principal amount, the principal amount of debt securities payable upon acceleration;
•
place(s) where payment of principal and interest may be made, where debt securities may be presented and where notices or demands upon the company may be made;
•
the form or forms of the debt securities of the series including such legends as may be required by applicable law;
•
whether the debt securities will be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities and the date as of which the securities are dated if other than the date of original issuance;
•
whether the debt securities are secured and the terms of such security;
•
the amount of discount or premium, if any, with which the debt securities will be issued;
•
any covenants applicable to the particular debt securities being issued;
•
any additions or changes in the defaults and events of default applicable to the particular debt securities being issued;
•
the guarantors (including the subsidiary guarantors) of each series, if any, and the extent of the guarantees (including provisions relating to seniority, subordination and release of the guarantees), if any;
•
the currency, currencies or currency units in which the purchase price for, the principal of and any premium and any interest on, the debt securities will be payable;
•
the time period within which, the manner in which and the terms and conditions upon which we or the holders of the debt securities can select the payment currency;
•
our obligation or right to redeem, purchase or repay debt securities under a sinking fund, amortization or analogous provision;
•
any restriction or conditions on the transferability of the debt securities;
•
provisions granting special rights to holders of the debt securities upon occurrence of specified events;
•
additions or changes relating to compensation or reimbursement of the trustee of the series of debt securities;
•
provisions relating to the modification of the indenture both with and without the consent of holders of debt securities issued under the indenture and the execution of supplemental indentures for such series; and
•
any other terms of the debt securities (which terms shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of the TIA, but may modify, amend, supplement or delete any of the terms of the indenture with respect to such series of debt securities).
Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, all outstanding debt securities will be exchangeable, transfers of debt securities will be registrable, and principal of and any premium and interest on all debt securities will be payable, at the corporate trust office of the trustee; provided that payment of interest may, at our option, be made by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears in the security register or by wire transfer to an account designated by the payee. (Sections 3.01, 3.06, 3.08 and 6.02)
Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, all debt securities will be issued only in fully registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000. (Section 3.02) Neither FedEx nor the trustee will impose any service charge for any transfer or exchange of a debt security; however, we may ask you to pay any taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in connection with a transfer or exchange of debt securities. (Section 3.06)
8
We may sell the debt securities at a discount, which may be substantial, below their stated principal amount. Those debt securities may bear no interest or may bear interest at a rate that at the time of issuance is below market rates. We will describe any material United States federal income tax considerations and any other special considerations relating to an investment in discount securities in any prospectus supplement relating to such securities.
If we sell any of the debt securities for any foreign currency or currency unit or if payments on the debt securities are payable in any foreign currency or currency unit, we will describe in a prospectus supplement the restrictions, elections, tax consequences, specific terms, and other information relating to those debt securities and the foreign currency or currency unit.
Guarantees
Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be guaranteed by the subsidiary guarantors. The guarantee of a subsidiary guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from any future obligation under such guarantee, without any further action required on the part of the trustee or any holder, upon: (i) (a) any sale, exchange, transfer, distribution or disposition (by merger, amalgamation, consolidation, business combination or otherwise) of (x) the capital stock of such subsidiary guarantor, after which such subsidiary guarantor is no longer a subsidiary of FedEx or (y) all or substantially all the assets of such subsidiary guarantor (other than a sale, exchange, transfer, distribution or disposition to FedEx or a subsidiary of FedEx), in each case if such sale, exchange, transfer, distribution or disposition is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of the indenture to the extent required to be satisfied as of the date of the transaction; (ii) the merger or consolidation of such subsidiary guarantor with and into FedEx or another subsidiary guarantor that is the surviving person in such merger or consolidation; (iii) the liquidation, winding up or dissolution of such Guarantor; or (iv) satisfaction and discharge or defeasance as described under “— Satisfaction and Discharge; Defeasance” of a series of debt securities (provided that such subsidiary guarantor shall only be released with respect to debt securities of any series so satisfied and discharged or defeased). (Section 17.04)
Each of the subsidiary guarantors will fully and unconditionally guarantee, jointly and severally, the due and punctual payment of principal of and any premium or interest on the debt securities, and the due and punctual payment of any sinking fund payments, when the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon redemption, by acceleration or otherwise. (Section 17.01) The guarantees will not contain any restrictions on the ability of any subsidiary guarantor to pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of that subsidiary guarantor’s capital stock or make any payment of principal, interest, or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase, or redeem any debt securities, if any, of that subsidiary guarantor.
Each subsidiary guarantee will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by the applicable subsidiary guarantor without rendering the subsidiary guarantee, as it relates to such subsidiary guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws. (Section 17.07)
Merger, Consolidation, and Sale of Assets
The indenture will provide that FedEx may not consolidate with or merge into any other entity, or permit any other entity to merge into FedEx, or sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its assets to another entity, unless:
•
either FedEx shall be the continuing entity or the successor, transferee or lessee entity (if other than FedEx) is organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and expressly assumes, by a supplemental indenture, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and any premium and interest on all the debt securities and the due and punctual performance and observance of all other obligations under the indenture or under the debt securities to be performed or observed by the FedEx; and
•
immediately after giving effect to such transaction, there will not be any defaults under the indenture. (Section 7.01)
9
Modification, Amendment, and Waiver
We, the subsidiary guarantors and the trustee may modify and amend the indenture with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all series affected voting as one class. However, no modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holder of each debt security affected thereby:
•
change the stated maturity of the principal of, or any premium or installment of interest on, any debt security;
•
reduce the principal amount of, rate of interest on, or premium payable upon the redemption of, any debt security;
•
change the currency in which, any principal of, or interest or premium on, any debt security is denominated or payable;
•
reduce the amount of the principal of any debt security issued with original issue discount that would be due and payable upon acceleration;
•
change the priority of payment of any debt security;
•
impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on any debt security on or after the stated maturity, or, in the case of redemption, on or after the redemption date or materially adversely affect the economic terms of any right to convert or exchange any debt security;
•
reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding debt securities the consent of whose holders is required for modification or amendment of the indenture, for waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the indenture, or for waiver of certain defaults; or
•
modify, without the written consent of the Trustee, the rights, duties or immunities of the trustee. (Section 15.02)
The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive any past default under the indenture and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any debt securities or in respect of a covenant or provision that under the indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected. (Section 8.13)
In addition, we, the subsidiary guarantors and the trustee can modify and amend the indenture without the consent of any holders in order to, among other things:
•
add to the covenants of FedEx or a subsidiary guarantor for the benefit of the holders of all or any series of debt securities or surrender any right or power conferred upon FedEx or a subsidiary guarantor by the indenture;
•
add additional events of default of FedEx or a subsidiary guarantor for the benefit of the holders of all or any series of debt securities;
•
allow a successor to FedEx or a subsidiary guarantor to assume our or its covenants and obligations under the indenture;
•
establish the form or terms of any series of debt securities;
•
secure the debt securities of any series (including the execution of security and other documents related thereto);
•
to cure any ambiguity or inconsistency or to correct or supplement any provision contained in the indenture or in any supplemental indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained in the indenture or any supplemental indenture or to conform the terms of the indenture, as amended and supplemented, that are applicable to the debt securities of any series to the description of the terms of such debt securities in the offering memorandum, prospectus supplement or other offering document applicable to such debt securities at the time of initial sale thereof;
10
•
to add, change or eliminate any of the provisions of the indenture; provided that any such change or elimination shall become effective only when there is no outstanding security of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture that is entitled to the benefit of such provision and as to which such supplemental indenture would apply;
•
add additional guarantors or co-obligors of the debt securities;
•
provide for the release of subsidiary guarantors as permitted under the indenture;
•
evidence and provide for the appointment of a successor trustee or to add to or change any provisions to the extent necessary to appoint a separate trustee for a specific series of debt securities;
•
supplement any of the provisions of the indenture to the extent necessary to permit or facilitate the satisfaction and discharge or defeasance of any series of debt securities, provided that no such supplement shall adversely affect the interests of any holders of debt securities in any material respect;
•
comply with the requirements of the SEC to effect or maintain the qualification of the indenture under the TIA; or
•
make any change in any series of debt securities that does not adversely affect in any material respect the rights of the holders of such debt securities. (Section 15.01)
Events of Default
Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, an event of default with respect to a series of debt securities will occur if:
•
we fail to pay interest when due on any debt security of that series for 30 days;
•
we fail to pay the principal of or any premium on any debt security of that series when due;
•
we fail to deposit any sinking fund payment on any debt security of that series when due, subject to any cure period specific in such series of debt securities;
•
we fail to perform any covenant in the indenture and this failure continues for 90 days after we receive written notice as provided in the indenture;
•
we fail to deposit any sinking fund payment when and as due by the terms of a debt security of that series;
•
we or a court takes certain actions relating to our bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization for the benefit of our creditors; or
•
any subsidiary guarantor whose consolidated total assets constitute 60% or more of our consolidated total assets (determined as of the date of our most recent interim or fiscal year-end balance sheet filed with the SEC prior to such determination date) or a court takes certain actions relating to the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of such subsidiary guarantor for the benefit of its creditors. (Section 8.01)
If an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series occurs and continues, the trustee or the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may require us to repay immediately the principal amount of all debt securities of that series; provided that, in the case of an event of default involving certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, acceleration is automatic. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may rescind and annul such acceleration if all events of default with respect to the debt securities of that series, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal, have been cured or waived as provided in the indenture. (Section 8.02) For information as to waiver of defaults, see “— Modification, Amendment, and Waiver” above.
Other than its duties in case of a default, the trustee will not be obligated to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders, unless the holders offer to the trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the trustee. (Sections 12.01 and 12.02) If the holders provide indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the
11
outstanding debt securities of such series will have the right, subject to certain limitations, to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee with respect to any series of debt securities. (Section 8.12)
No holder of any debt security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the indenture or for any remedy under the indenture unless:
•
the holder has previously given to the trustee written notice of a continuing event of default;
•
the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made a written request, and offered indemnity reasonably satisfactory, to the trustee to institute a proceeding as trustee; and
•
the trustee has not received from the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series a direction inconsistent with the request, and the trustee has failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days. (Section 8.07)
However, the holder of any debt security will have an absolute right to receive payment of the principal of and any premium and interest on the debt security as expressed in the debt security, or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date, and to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment. (Section 8.08)
We will be required to furnish to the trustee annually a statement as to the absence of certain defaults under the indenture. (Section 6.03) The trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any default, except as to payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest with respect to the debt securities, if the trustee considers such withholding to be in the interest of the holders of the debt securities. (Section 12.03)
Satisfaction and Discharge; Defeasance
We may satisfy and discharge obligations with respect to the debt securities of a particular series by either delivering to the trustee for cancellation all outstanding debt securities of that series, or depositing with the trustee, after the outstanding debt securities of that series have become due and payable, or will become due and payable within one year, at maturity or by redemption, sufficient cash or government securities (or a combination thereof) to pay the principal, interest, any premium and any other sums due to the stated maturity date or redemption date of the debt securities of that series. (Section 13.02)
In addition, the indenture provides that at our option we may:
•
be discharged from our and the subsidiary guarantors’ obligations with respect to the debt securities of a particular series (“defeasance”); or
•
cease to comply with certain restrictive covenants under the indenture, including those described under “— Merger, Consolidation, and Sale of Assets,” and certain events of default will no longer apply to us or the subsidiary guarantors (“covenant defeasance”);
if we deposit with the trustee sufficient cash or government securities (or a combination thereof) to pay the principal, interest, any premium, and any other sums due to the stated maturity date or redemption date of the debt securities of that series. (Section 13.03) Upon defeasance, the holders of the debt securities of the affected series will not be entitled to the benefits of the indenture, except for registration of transfer and exchange of debt securities and replacement of lost, stolen, or mutilated debt securities. Such holders may look only to such deposited funds or obligations for payment. (Section 13.03)
Book-Entry Procedures
Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, each series of debt securities will be issued in the form of one or more fully registered global securities. We will deposit each global security with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and register such global security in the name of Cede & Co. (“Cede”) or another nominee of DTC, unless otherwise provided for in a prospectus supplement. If you wish to own debt securities that are represented by one or more global securities, you can do so only indirectly or “beneficially” through an account with a broker, bank or other financial institution that has an account with DTC (i.e., a DTC participant) or through an account directly with DTC if you are a DTC
12
participant, unless otherwise provided for in a prospectus supplement. No holder of a debt security initially issued as a global security will be entitled to receive a debt security in certificated form, except as set forth below.
Except as set forth below or as otherwise provided for in a prospectus supplement, a global security may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee.
DTC has advised us as follows:
•
DTC is:
•
a limited-purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York;
•
a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York banking law;
•
a member of the Federal Reserve System;
•
a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and
•
a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to Section 17A of the Exchange Act.
•
DTC was created to hold securities for its participating organizations (collectively, the “participants”) and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between its participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its participants, eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates.
•
DTC participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and others, some of whom own DTC.
•
Access to DTC’s book-entry system is also available to others, such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations, that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly. Persons who are not participants may beneficially own securities held by DTC only through participants or indirect participants.
Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus or a prospectus supplement, purchases of debt securities under DTC’s system must be made by or through direct participants, which will receive a credit for those debt securities on DTC’s records. The beneficial ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each debt security represented by a global security (“beneficial owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the records of the direct and indirect participants’ records. Beneficial owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participants through which the beneficial owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in a global security representing debt securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of direct and indirect participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in a global security, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for those debt securities is discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all global securities representing debt securities deposited by direct participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s nominee, Cede, or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of global securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede or such other nominee of DTC do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the global securities representing the debt securities; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts such debt securities are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The direct and indirect participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants, and by direct participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.
13
Neither DTC nor Cede (nor any other nominee of DTC) will consent or vote with respect to the global securities representing debt securities unless authorized by a direct participant in accordance with DTC’s money market instrument procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an omnibus proxy to us as soon as possible after the applicable record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede’s consenting or voting rights to those direct participants to whose accounts book-entry securities are credited on the applicable record date (identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy).
If applicable, redemption notices will be sent to Cede. If less than all of the debt securities within a series are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each direct participant in that issue to be redeemed.
Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the global securities representing the debt securities will be made to Cede, or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit direct participants’ accounts, upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detailed information from us or the applicable trustee, on the payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such participant and not of DTC, the applicable trustee, or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of us or the applicable trustee, disbursement of such payments to direct participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the beneficial owners will be the responsibility of direct and indirect participants.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as depositary with respect to debt securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to us or the applicable trustee. Under those circumstances, in the event that a successor depositary is not obtained, certificates are required to be printed and delivered.
We may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC.
The laws of some states require that certain persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities that they own. These laws may limit your ability to own, transfer, or pledge beneficial interests in a global security.
As long as DTC’s nominee is the registered owner of a global security, such nominee for all purposes will be considered the sole owner or holder of such debt securities under the indenture. Except as provided below, you will not:
•
be entitled to have any debt securities registered in your name;
•
receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of any debt securities in definitive form; and
•
be considered the owners or holders of the debt securities under the indenture.
Neither we, the trustee, nor any of our respective agents will be responsible or liable for any actions or inactions by DTC, any nominee, or any participant relating to any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in a global security, or for maintaining, supervising, or reviewing any records related to such beneficial ownership interests.
We will issue debt securities in definitive form in exchange for global securities if:
•
DTC notifies us that it is unwilling, unable, or ineligible to continue as depositary or if at any time DTC, or any successor depositary, ceases to be a “clearing agency” under the Exchange Act and, in each case, we have not appointed a successor depositary within 90 days; or
•
we choose in our sole discretion to issue definitive debt securities.
In either instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in a global security will be entitled to have debt securities equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest registered in its name and will be entitled to
14
physical delivery of debt securities in definitive form. You will not be charged a fee for any transfer or exchange of such debt securities, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. (Section 3.06)
The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that we believe to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. This information has been provided solely as a matter of convenience. The rules and procedures of DTC are solely within its control and could change at any time.
Neither we nor the trustee nor any agent of ours or of the trustee has any control over DTC or its participants, and none of us takes any responsibility for their activities. You are urged to contact DTC or its participants directly to discuss those matters. In addition, although we expect that DTC will perform the foregoing procedures, it is not under any obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither we nor the trustee nor any agent of ours or of the trustee will have any responsibility for the performance or nonperformance by DTC or its participants of these or any other rules or procedures governing its operations.
Regarding the Trustee
We may conduct banking and other transactions with the trustee and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business.
Governing Law
The indenture is, and the debt securities will be, governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

Certain Anti-Takeover Effects
General. Certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, our Bylaws and Delaware law may have the effect of impeding the acquisition of control of us. These provisions are designed to reduce, or have the effect of reducing, our vulnerability to unsolicited takeover attempts.
Delaware Takeover Statute. We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL. Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A “business combination” includes mergers, asset sales, and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder.

Stockholder Action by Written Consent. Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws require that all stockholder action be taken at a duly called meeting of the stockholders and prohibit taking action by written consent of stockholders.
Additional Authorized Shares of Capital Stock. The additional shares of authorized common stock and preferred stock available for issuance under our Certificate of Incorporation could be issued at such times, under such circumstances, and with such terms and conditions as to impede a change in control.
17
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We and the subsidiary guarantors may sell securities in any of the following ways:
•
to or through underwriters;
•
to or through dealers;
•
through agents;
•
directly to purchasers through a specific bidding, ordering, or auction process or otherwise;
•
through any combination of these methods of sale; or
•
through any other methods described in a prospectus supplement.
The prospectus supplement with respect to the securities being offered will set forth the specific plan of distribution and the terms of the offering, including:
•
the names of any underwriters, dealers, or agents;
•
the purchase price of the securities and the proceeds we will receive from the sale;
•
any underwriting discounts, selling commissions, agency fees, and other items constituting underwriters’, dealers’, or agents’ compensation;
•
any initial public offering price; and
•
any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers or agents.
Underwriters
Securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. If we use underwriters for a sale of securities, we will enter into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters at the time of sale of those securities. Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the offered securities will be subject to certain conditions and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the offered securities if any are purchased.
The underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account. The underwriters may resell the securities in one or more transactions at a fixed public offering price, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices. The underwriters may change from time to time any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers.
Dealers
If we use dealers in a sale, unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, we will sell the securities to the dealers as principals. The dealers may then resell such securities to the public at varying prices that they determine at the time of resale.
Agents
If we use agents in a sale, unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, the agents will act on a best-efforts basis to solicit purchases for the period of their appointment.
Compensation
In connection with the sale of our securities, underwriters or agents may receive compensation from us or from purchasers of securities for whom they may act as agents in the form of discounts, concessions, or commissions.
Underwriters may sell securities to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions, or commissions from the underwriters or commissions from the
18
purchasers for whom they may act as agents. Any underwriting compensation paid by us to underwriters or agents in connection with an offering of securities, and any discounts, concessions, or commissions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers, will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Underwriters, dealers, and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters as defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any discounts or commissions received by them from us and any profit realized by them on the resale of the securities may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
Direct Sales
We may directly solicit offers to purchase our securities, and we may directly sell our securities to institutional investors or others, who may be deemed to be underwriters within the Securities Act with respect to any resales. We will describe the terms of any direct sales in a prospectus supplement.
Delayed Delivery Contracts
We may authorize underwriters, dealers, or agents to solicit offers from institutional investors to purchase securities from us at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. If we use delayed delivery contracts, they will be subject only to those conditions that we set forth in a prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.
General Information
Underwriters, dealers, and agents who participate in the distribution of the securities may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us, to indemnification against and contribution toward certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Underwriters, dealers, or agents and their affiliates may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us or our subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business.
Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, we do not intend to apply for the listing of any debt securities on a national securities exchange. If debt securities are sold to or through underwriters, the underwriters may make a market in such debt securities, as permitted by applicable laws and regulations. No underwriter would be obligated, however, to make a market in the debt securities, and any market-making could be discontinued at any time at the sole discretion of the underwriters. Accordingly, we cannot assure you as to the liquidity of, or trading markets for, any debt securities.
In order to facilitate an offering of securities, persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain, or otherwise affect the price of the offered securities. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. If any such activities will occur, they will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
We will estimate our expenses associated with any offering of securities in the relevant prospectus supplement.

Equipment notes issued by any owner trustee will be without recourse to us. For each aircraft, we or an owner trustee will issue one or more equipment notes with an interest rate, final maturity date, and ranking of priority of payment described in a prospectus supplement.
The pass-through trustee will distribute to the holders of pass-through certificates the interest paid on the equipment notes held in the related pass-through trust on the dates and at the rates indicated in a prospectus supplement. Holders of pass-through certificates will also receive distributions of the principal paid on the equipment notes in scheduled amounts and on dates specified in a prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, we will not list the pass-through certificates on any national securities exchange.
Our payment obligations in respect of any equipment notes we issue or, in the case of equipment notes issued by an owner trustee, our obligations under the leases related to such equipment notes, will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by our parent corporation, FedEx Corporation (“FedEx”).
We may offer and sell the pass-through certificates on a continuous or delayed basis directly, through agents, dealers, or underwriters as designated from time to time, or through a combination of these methods. We reserve the sole right to accept, and together with any agents, dealers, and underwriters, reserve the right to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of pass-through certificates. If any agents, dealers, or underwriters are involved in the sale of any pass-through securities, the applicable prospectus supplement will set forth any applicable commissions or discounts. Our net proceeds from the sale of pass-through certificates also will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. If required, the prospectus supplement for each offering of securities will describe the plan of distribution for that offering. For general information about the distribution of securities offered, please see “Plan of Distribution” in this prospectus.
This prospectus may not be used to consummate sales of these securities unless accompanied by a prospectus supplement. You should read this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, as well as any information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information,” carefully before you invest.
Investing in the pass-through securities involves certain risks. See “Risk Factors” on page 6 before you make your investment decision.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
The date of this prospectus is July 21, 2026.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS
This prospectus is part of a “shelf” registration statement that we have filed with the SEC. By using a shelf registration statement, we and FedEx may sell, at any time and from time to time, in one or more offerings, any combination of the securities described in this prospectus. As allowed by SEC rules, this prospectus does not contain all the information you can find in the registration statement or the exhibits to the registration statement. For further information about our business and the securities, you should refer to the registration statement and its exhibits. The exhibits to our registration statement contain the full text of certain contracts and other important documents we have summarized in this prospectus. Because these summaries may not contain all the information that you may find important in deciding whether to purchase the securities we offer, you should review the full text of these documents. The registration statement and the exhibits thereto can be obtained from the SEC, as indicated under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.”
This prospectus provides you with only a general description of the securities we and FedEx may offer. Each time we and FedEx offer securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that contains specific information about the terms of those securities. The prospectus supplement may also add, update, or change information contained in this prospectus. You should read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, together with the additional information described below under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.”
We have not authorized any person to provide you with information other than that contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement prepared by us or on our behalf or to which we have referred you. We take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any information that others may give you. We are not making an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date on the front cover of this prospectus, regardless of the date of delivery of this prospectus or any sales of securities made in connection herewith. In the case of information contained in documents we file with the SEC and incorporate by reference in this prospectus, you should assume that such information is accurate only as of the respective dates of those documents. Our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, and prospects may have changed since those dates.
References in this prospectus to “we,” “us,” “our,” and “FedEx Express” are to Federal Express Corporation. References to “FedEx” are to our parent company, FedEx Corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries (including us), unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires.

ABOUT OUR COMPANY
FedEx Express is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FedEx. FedEx provides customers and businesses worldwide with a broad portfolio of transportation, e-commerce, and business services, offering integrated business solutions utilizing its flexible, efficient, and intelligent global network. FedEx’s primary operating company is FedEx Express, the world’s largest express transportation company and a leading North American provider of small-package ground delivery services.
On June 1, 2026, FedEx completed the separation of FedEx’s less-than-truckload freight transportation services business, including FedEx Custom Critical, Inc., LTL Select, and other businesses operated under FedEx’s FedEx Freight reporting segment, through the capital markets, creating a new publicly traded company (the “Spin-Off”).
Effective June 1, 2026, FedEx changed its fiscal year end from May 31 to December 31.
Following the Spin-Off and beginning June 1, 2026, FedEx has two reportable business segments:
•
Express U.S. Domestic: Express U.S. Domestic offers a wide range of U.S. domestic shipping services for packages and freight including overnight, deferred, and same day package delivery services, and express overnight and deferred freight services to handle the needs of the time-definite freight market. Express U.S. Domestic is a leading provider of day-definite business and residential delivery services for packages weighing up to 150 pounds. Our service reaches 100% of the continental U.S. population. We offer day-definite delivery to 99% of the U.S. population on Saturdays and to nearly two-thirds of the U.S. population on Sundays. We also offer an economy service that is available for the consolidation and delivery of high volumes of low-weight, less time-sensitive business-to-consumer packages to any residential address in the U.S.
•
Express International: Express International offers a wide range of shipping services for delivery of packages and freight, connecting markets that generate more than 99% of the world’s gross domestic product. The Express International segment also includes FedEx Logistics, which provides international trade services, specializing in customs brokerage, global ocean and air freight forwarding, and managed transportation. FedEx Logistics also provides customs clearance services at its major U.S. air hub facilities and border customs clearance for U.S. surface operations, and global door-to-door air charter solutions.
The mailing address of our principal executive offices is 3610 Hacks Cross Road, Memphis, Tennessee 38125. Our main telephone number is (901) 369-3600.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in pass-through certificates involves risks. In connection with any investment in pass-through certificates, you should consider carefully (i) the factors identified under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in FedEx’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K, as updated by FedEx’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K; (ii) the other information set forth elsewhere in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus; and (iii) any risk factors set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Each of the risks described in these documents could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and could result in a partial or complete loss of your investment. See “Where You Can Find More Information” in this prospectus. You should also carefully review the cautionary statement in this prospectus referred to under “Forward-Looking Statements.”
USE OF PROCEEDS
Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, the pass-through trustee will use the proceeds from the sale of pass-through certificates to purchase equipment notes secured by aircraft or other aircraft-related assets. See “Description of Pass-Through Certificates” for a description of the equipment notes.
Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, the equipment notes will be issued to finance or refinance all or a portion of the purchase price of aircraft owned or to be purchased by us or to finance or refinance a portion of the purchase price of aircraft that have been or will be leased to us as part of a leveraged lease transaction or otherwise.

DESCRIPTION OF PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATES
The pass through certificates covered by this prospectus will be issued pursuant to the pass-through trust agreement, dated as of August 13, 2020, between FedEx Express and Wilmington Trust Company, as pass-through trustee (as amended as of the date hereof, the “basic agreement”).
The following summary describes the general terms and provisions of the pass-through certificates covered by this prospectus. Each series of pass-through certificates will be issued by a separate trust and, when we offer to sell a particular series of pass-through certificates, we will describe in a prospectus supplement the specific terms of, and the extent to which the terms of the basic agreement do not apply to, such pass-through certificates. If any information set forth in a prospectus supplement regarding the terms and provisions of a particular series of pass-through certificates is inconsistent with the information set forth in this prospectus, the information in the prospectus supplement will supersede and replace the information found herein.
Because the following is a summary, it may not contain all the information that may be important to you. For further information, you should read the basic agreement, which is an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. A copy of the basic agreement is also available from us upon request at the contact information specified in “Where You Can Find More Information.” This summary is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the basic agreement, including definitions of certain terms used in it.
Terms
Pass-through trusts that we form may offer for sale pass-through certificates from time to time under this prospectus and one or more prospectus supplements. Each pass-through certificate will represent an interest in a pass-through trust. The property of the pass-through trust will include equipment notes issued by:
•
FedEx Express to finance or refinance all or a portion of the purchase price of aircraft owned or to be purchased by us (“owned aircraft notes”); or
•
one or more owner trustees, on a non-recourse basis, to finance or refinance a portion of the purchase price of aircraft that have been or will be leased to us as part of a leveraged lease transaction or otherwise (“leased aircraft notes”).
The pass-through certificates will not represent interests in, or obligations of, FedEx Express or any of our affiliates.
Equipment notes issued by any owner trustee will be without recourse to us. For each aircraft, we or an owner trustee will issue one or more equipment notes with an interest rate, final maturity date, and ranking of priority of payment described in a prospectus supplement.
The pass-through trustee will distribute to the holders of pass-through certificates the interest paid on the equipment notes held in the related pass-through trust on the dates and at the rates indicated in a prospectus supplement. Holders of pass-through certificates will also receive distributions of the principal paid on the equipment notes in scheduled amounts and on dates specified in a prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, we will not list the pass-through certificates on any national securities exchange.
Our payment obligations in respect of any equipment notes we issue or, in the case of equipment notes issued by an owner trustee, our obligations under the leases related to such equipment notes, will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by our parent corporation, FedEx.
Property of the Trust
The pass-through trustee will hold all property owned by a trust for the benefit of holders of pass-through certificates issued by that trust. Each pass-through certificate issued by a trust will represent a beneficial interest in all property held by that trust.
7
Any trust may hold owned aircraft notes and leased aircraft notes simultaneously. The owned aircraft notes will be secured by certain aircraft owned or to be owned by FedEx Express, and the leased aircraft notes will be secured by certain aircraft leased or to be leased to FedEx Express.
In addition, to the extent set forth in an applicable prospectus supplement, each trust may hold (exclusively, or in combination with owned aircraft notes, leased aircraft notes, or both) equipment notes secured by aircraft engines, spare parts, appliances, or other aircraft-related equipment or personal property owned or to be owned by, or leased or to be leased to, FedEx Express. Such equipment notes, and the property securing them, will be subject to the considerations, terms, conditions, and other provisions described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Also, to the extent set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, a trust may hold (exclusively, or in combination with equipment notes) pass-through certificates or beneficial interests in such certificates previously issued by a trust that holds equipment notes or other kinds of securities.
Issuance of Equipment Notes
We will issue the equipment notes relating to aircraft owned by us under either a separate supplement to an existing trust indenture and mortgage or a separate trust indenture and mortgage. An aircraft owned by us may also be subject to other financing arrangements that will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. For each leased aircraft, the owner trustee will issue the related equipment notes, as nonrecourse obligations, authenticated by a bank or trust company, as indenture trustee under either a separate supplement to an existing trust indenture and security agreement between the owner trustee and the indenture trustee or a separate trust indenture and security agreement. The owner trustee will also obtain a portion of the funding for the leased aircraft from an equity investment of one or more owner participants. A leased aircraft may also be subject to other financing arrangements that will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. In connection with the refinancing of a leased aircraft, the owner trustee may refinance the existing equipment notes, which will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Ranking; Subordinated Rights
A trust may hold owned aircraft notes or leased aircraft notes that are subordinated in right of payment to other equipment notes or other debt related to the same owned or leased aircraft. In addition, the pass-through trustees on behalf of one or more trusts may enter into an intercreditor or subordination agreement establishing priorities among series of pass-through certificates. Also, a liquidity facility, surety bond, letter of credit, financial guarantee, interest rate, or other swap or other arrangement may support one or more payments on the equipment notes or pass-through certificates of one or more series. In addition, the pass-through trustee may enter into servicing, remarketing, appraisal, put, or other agreements relating to the collateral securing the equipment notes. We will describe any such credit enhancements or other arrangements or agreements in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Miscellaneous
If the pass-through trustee does not use the proceeds of any offering of pass-through certificates to purchase equipment notes on the date of issuance of the pass-through certificates, it will hold the proceeds for the benefit of the holders of the related pass-through certificates under arrangements that we will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement. If the pass-through trustee does not subsequently use any portion of the proceeds to purchase equipment notes by the date specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, it will return that portion of the proceeds to the holders of the related pass-through certificates. In these circumstances, the prospectus supplement will describe how the proceeds of the pass-through certificates will be held or applied, including any depositary or escrow arrangements.
We will describe any material United States federal income tax considerations in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Regarding the Pass-Through Trustee
We may conduct banking and other transactions with the pass-through trustee and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

FedEx’s Guarantee
FedEx will fully and unconditionally guarantee:
•
with respect to equipment notes secured by our owned aircraft, the full and prompt payment of all our payment obligations under such equipment notes when and as the same shall become due and payable; and
•
with respect to equipment notes secured by our leased aircraft, the full and prompt payment of all of our payment obligations under the related lease when and as the same shall become due and payable.
FedEx’s guarantee will be enforceable without any need first to enforce any equipment note or lease against us. FedEx’s guarantee will be an unsecured obligation of FedEx.
Governing Law
The basic agreement and the pass-through certificates will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
9
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell the pass-through certificates in any of the following ways:
•
to or through underwriters;
•
to or through dealers;
•
through agents;
•
directly to purchasers through a specific bidding, ordering, or auction process or otherwise;
•
through any combination of these methods of sale; or
•
through any other methods described in a prospectus supplement.
The prospectus supplement with respect to the securities being offered will set forth the specific plan of distribution and the terms of the offering, including:
•
the names of any underwriters, dealers, or agents;
•
the purchase price of the pass-through certificates and the proceeds to be received from the sale;
•
any underwriting discounts, selling commissions, agency fees, and other items constituting underwriters’, dealers’, or agents’ compensation;
•
any initial public offering price; and
•
any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers or agents.
Underwriters, dealers, and agents who participate in the distribution of the pass-through certificates may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us, to indemnification against and contribution toward certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Underwriters, dealers, or agents and their affiliates may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us or our affiliates in the ordinary course of business.
Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, we do not intend to apply for the listing of any pass-through certificates on a national securities exchange. If pass-through certificates are sold to or through underwriters, the underwriters may make a market in such pass-through certificates, as permitted by applicable laws and regulations. No underwriter would be obligated, however, to make a market in the pass-through certificates, and any market-making could be discontinued at any time at the sole discretion of the underwriters. Accordingly, we cannot assure you as to the liquidity of, or trading markets for, any pass-through certificates.
We will estimate our expenses associated with any offering of pass-through certificates in the relevant prospectus supplement.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “Delaware Law”) permits a corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director or officer to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, provided that such provision may not eliminate or limit the liability (i) for any breach of the director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) for a director for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions, or other distributions; (iv) for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit; or (v) for an officer in any action by or in the right of the corporation.
With respect to FedEx, Article Thirteenth of FedEx’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “FedEx Charter”) provides that no director or officer shall be personally liable to FedEx or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, and with respect to FedEx Express, Article IX of FedEx Express’ Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “FedEx Express Charter”) provides that no director or officer shall be personally liable to FedEx Express or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer; provided, in each case, that such article does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer, as applicable, (i) for any breach of the director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to FedEx or FedEx Express, as applicable, or their respective stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) for a director under Section 174 of the Delaware Law (relating to the unlawful payment of dividends and unlawful stock purchases or redemptions) or any amendment or successor provision thereto; (iv) for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit; or (v) an officer in any action by or in the right of FedEx or FedEx Express, as applicable. Article Thirteenth of the FedEx Charter and Article IX of the FedEx Express Charter does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when the applicable article became effective (December 3, 1997 in respect of FedEx; October 17, 1988 in respect of FedEx Express).

Express Charter, nor the adoption of any provision of the FedEx Charter or the FedEx Express Charter inconsistent with the applicable article, will eliminate or reduce the effect of the applicable article with respect to any matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit, or claim that, but for such article, would accrue or arise prior to such amendment, repeal, or adoption of an inconsistent provision.
Section 145 of the Delaware Law permits a corporation to indemnify any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation (or another enterprise if serving at the request of the corporation), against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. In any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, a corporation is permitted to indemnify any director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation (or another enterprise if serving at the request of the corporation) against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter if such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite such adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
With respect to FedEx, Article VI, Section 1 of FedEx’s Amended and Restated Bylaws provides that FedEx shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Law, (a) indemnify and hold harmless any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party to, or is otherwise involved in, any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, or managing director (or its equivalent) of FedEx, or, while serving as a director, officer, or managing director (or its equivalent) of FedEx, is or was serving at the request of FedEx as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (a “Covered Person”), against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by such Covered Person in connection therewith, and (b) pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by any such Covered Person in connection with any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that the payment of expenses incurred by a Covered Person in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the Covered Person to repay all amounts advanced if it should ultimately be determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified; provided, however, that, except with respect to certain Proceedings seeking to enforce rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses, FedEx shall be required to indemnify and advance expenses to a Covered Person in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Covered Person only if the commencement of such Proceeding (or part thereof) by the Covered Person was authorized by the Board of Directors of FedEx.
With respect to FedEx Express, Article VIII, Section 1 of FedEx Express’ Amended and Restated Bylaws provides that FedEx Express shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law, (a) indemnify and hold harmless any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party to, or is otherwise involved in, any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer or managing director (or its equivalent) of FedEx Express, or is or was serving at the request of FedEx Express as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, and (b) pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by any such person in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that the payment of expenses incurred by a person in advance of the final
II-2
disposition of the action, suit or proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the person to repay all amounts advanced if it should ultimately be determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified. FedEx Express shall be required to indemnify and advance expenses to any such person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors of FedEx Express.
FedEx and FedEx Express also have purchased insurance designed to protect FedEx, FedEx Express, and their directors and officers against losses arising from certain claims, including claims under the Securities Act.
Any underwriting agreement that FedEx and/or FedEx Express may enter into in connection with the sale of any securities registered hereunder may provide for indemnification of directors and officers of FedEx and/or FedEx Express by the underwriters against certain liabilities. To the extent that FedEx and/or FedEx Express enters into any such underwriting agreement, FedEx will file it as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K, which will be incorporated by reference into this registration statement.

To be filed, if necessary, by a post-effective amendment to this registration statement or as an exhibit to a document incorporated by reference herein.
Item 17. Undertakings
Each of the undersigned registrants hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made of securities registered hereby, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that the undertakings set forth above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the undersigned registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act that is part of the registration statement;
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;
(4)
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
(i)
Each prospectus filed by the undersigned registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii)
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a
II-4
registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; and
(5)
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii)
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv)
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
Each of the undersigned registrants hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the undersigned registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the undersigned registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
