EXPLANATORY NOTE

FedEx Corporation (“FedEx”) hereby amends its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019, filed on July 16, 2019 (the “Form 10-K”), as set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1) (this “Form 10-K/A”).

This Form 10-K/A is being filed solely to add disclosure under Form 10-K Item 9B pursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 and Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). No other changes are being made to the Form 10-K by means of this Form 10-K/A. This Form 10-K/A does not reflect subsequent events occurring after the original filing date of the Form 10-K or update in any way disclosures made in the Form 10-K other than those described above. Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K, including any amendments to those filings.

Item 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

Disclosure Pursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 and Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act. We have comprehensive export controls and economic sanctions programs designed to ensure compliance with United States and other applicable export controls and sanctions laws, rules and regulations. As disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended February 28, 2019, we previously identified the shipments described below involving P2P Mailing Limited (“P2P”), an e-commerce transportation solutions company that FedEx acquired in March 2018. P2P is based in the United Kingdom and organized under the laws of England and Wales. These shipments were not made in accordance with our internal policies and procedures and require disclosure pursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 and Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act.

P2P provides customers with unique low-cost international transportation solutions, leveraging its relationships with private, postal, retail and clearance providers in over 200 countries and territories. Its technology and processes provide plug-and-play options with carrier networks and customer systems. It came to our attention that from the date FedEx acquired P2P in March 2018 through early February 2019, P2P facilitated the shipment into Iran of approximately 120 packages through its TrakPak service offering and approximately 960 packages through its Untrak service offering. All of P2P’s customers that shipped packages to Iran sell consumer goods. The aggregate gross revenue for these shipments was £16,067 (approximately $19,500 as of the date of this Form 10-K/A) and the aggregate profit was £5,083 (approximately $6,200 as of the date of this Form 10-K/A). In the case of the TrakPak shipments, one of P2P’s vendors used Iran Air, an entity identified by the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) as owned or controlled by the Government of Iran (“GoI”), to move the shipments from the United Kingdom into Iran. Because all of the shipments in question were postal shipments, Iran Post, an entity FedEx understands to be owned or controlled by the GoI, provided the last-mile delivery for both the TrakPak and Untrak shipments after they arrived in Iran. P2P did not directly contract with, provide payment to or otherwise transact with Iran Air or Iran Post.

P2P does not intend to continue this activity. Promptly upon learning of these shipments, we put in place a mechanism designed to prevent shipments into Iran through P2P’s service offerings, and P2P has not facilitated any such shipments since that time. Additionally, we have implemented enhanced controls, procedures and other measures to ensure P2P’s compliance with our export controls and economic sanctions programs.

We made an initial notification of voluntary self-disclosure to OFAC in March 2019, which we later perfected in June 2019. In July 2019, OFAC closed its investigation with regard to this matter.
