SECTION 5. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT.

Item 5.02.

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Exclusion of Certain Items for LTI Plans. On May 31, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of FedEx Corporation (the “Company”), upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved excluding from fiscal 2019 earnings the impact of fiscal 2019 share repurchases in excess of repurchases that offset dilution from equity awards (the “FY19 Share Repurchase Adjustment”) for purposes of the Company’s FY2017–FY2019, FY2018–FY2020 and FY2019-FY2021 long-term incentive plans (collectively, the “Active LTI Plans”). As previously disclosed, the Board has approved the exclusion of several other items from fiscal 2019 earnings for purposes of the Active LTI Plans (the “FY19 Adjustments”). By excluding the FY19 Share Repurchase Adjustment and the other FY19 Adjustments, payouts, if any, under the Active LTI plans will more accurately reflect the Company’s core financial performance in fiscal 2019.

Modification to AIC Plan. In response to challenging business conditions, on May 31, 2019, the Board, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved removing all officer and staff director participants, including the named executive officers, from the FedEx Corporation fiscal 2019 annual incentive compensation plan (the “2019 AIC Plan”). As a result, none of the Company’s officers or staff directors, including the named executive officers, will receive a payout, if one would otherwise have been available, under the 2019 AIC Plan.
