Compensation Arrangements with Outside Directors (Form 8-K)

Compensation Arrangements with Outside Directors

In September 2025, the Board of Directors and its Compensation and Human Resources Committee conducted their annual review of non-management (outside) director compensation

The Board approved no change to the annual retainer. Accordingly, outside directors continue to be paid an annual retainer of $140,000. Outside directors may elect to receive their annual retainer in all cash, all shares, or 50% in cash and 50% in shares. The Board approved a $5,000 increase to the committee chairperson fees for the chairpersons of the Cyber and Technology Oversight and Governance, Safety, and Public Policy Committees, and no change to the other committee chairperson fees. As a result, the Audit and Finance Committee chairperson is paid an annual fee of $30,000, and the chairpersons of the Compensation and Human Resources, Cyber and Technology Oversight, and Governance, Safety, and Public Policy Committees are paid an annual fee of $25,000. The Board also approved a $20,000 increase to the fees for the Lead Independent Director. As a result, the Lead Independent Director is paid an additional annual fee of $50,000.

In addition, each outside director who was elected at FedEx's 2025 annual meeting will receive restricted stock units ("RSUs") having a target fair market value of $195,000 that settle in shares of FedEx common stock. The RSUs vest in one year and will accrue dividend equivalent rights, which will be reinvested in additional RSUs.

Any outside director who is elected to the Board after the 2025 annual meeting will receive the applicable pro rata portion of the annual retainer and RSU grant in connection with his or her election.

The Compensation and Human Resources Committee annually reviews director compensation, including, among other things, comparing FedEx's director compensation practices with those of other companies. In 2025, two data sets were used for comparison: (1) a group of twenty companies ranked closely to FedEx on the Fortune 100 list across a range of industries (which are listed on Appendix A attached hereto) and (2) all publicly traded companies in the Fortune 100 (excluding FedEx). Before making a recommendation regarding director compensation to the Board, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee considers that the directors' independence may be compromised if compensation exceeds appropriate levels or if FedEx enters into other arrangements beneficial to the directors.
