We evaluate our dividend payment amount on an annual basis.

In December 2021, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program of up to $5 billion of FedEx common stock. As of February 29, 2024, $564 million remained available to be used for repurchases under the 2021 program. In March 2024, our Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program for additional repurchases of up to $5 billion of FedEx common stock.

As part of the 2021 repurchase program, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) transaction with a bank in March 2024 to repurchase $500 million of our common stock. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the transaction was completed, and 1.8 million shares were delivered under the agreement. In June 2024, we executed an ASR agreement with two banks as part of the 2021 and 2024 repurchase programs to repurchase $1 billion of our common stock with a completion date no later than the end of the first quarter of 2025.

As of July 15, 2024, approximately $4.1 billion remained available to be used for repurchases under the 2024 stock repurchase program. Shares under the program may be repurchased from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. No time limits were set for completion of the program, however the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
