SEPARATION AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of May 28, 2026, by and between FedEx Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("RemainCo"), and FedEx Freight Holding Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SpinCo"). Each of RemainCo and SpinCo is sometimes referred to herein as a "Party" and collectively, as the " Parties ."
WHEREAS , RemainCo, acting through its direct and indirect Subsidiaries, currently conducts (a) the SpinCo Business and (b) the RemainCo Business;
WHEREAS , the Board of Directors of RemainCo (the "Board") has determined that it is appropriate, desirable and in the best interests of RemainCo and its stockholders to separate RemainCo into two separate, publicly traded companies, one for each of (a) the SpinCo Business, which shall be owned and conducted, directly or indirectly, by SpinCo, and (b) the RemainCo Business, which shall be owned and conducted, directly or indirectly, by RemainCo;
WHEREAS , in order to effect such separation, the Board has determined that it is appropriate, desirable and in the best interests of RemainCo and its stockholders (a) to undertake a series of transactions with respect to the allocation and transfer or assignment of Assets and Liabilities, including by means of the Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments, resulting in (i) RemainCo and/or one or more members of the RemainCo Group, collectively, owning all of the RemainCo Assets, assuming (or retaining or indemnifying the SpinCo Indemnitees against) all of the RemainCo Liabilities and, except as provided in any Ancillary Agreement, operating the RemainCo Business and (ii) SpinCo and/or one or more members of the SpinCo Group, collectively, owning all of the SpinCo Assets, assuming (or retaining or indemnifying the RemainCo Indemnitees against) all of the SpinCo Liabilities and, except as provided in any Ancillary Agreement, operating the SpinCo Business, in each case (clauses (a)(i) and (a)(ii)) (such transactions described in this clause (a), the "Internal Reorganization"), and (b) thereafter, for RemainCo to distribute on the Distribution Date to the holders of RemainCo Common Stock as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, on a pro rata basis and on the basis of one share of SpinCo Common Stock for every two outstanding shares of RemainCo Common Stock, 80.1% of the then issued and outstanding shares of SpinCo Common Stock (such transactions described in this clause (b), the "Distribution");
WHEREAS , in connection with the Internal Reorganization, the Board has determined that it is appropriate, desirable and in the best interests of RemainCo and its stockholders for SpinCo to (a) make the SpinCo Cash Distribution to RemainCo and (b) issue the SpinCo Exchange Debt to RemainCo, in each case as part of the consideration for the assets to be transferred to SpinCo by RemainCo pursuant to the SpinCo Contribution;
WHEREAS , (a) no later than 24 months following the SpinCo Contribution, RemainCo will transfer the cash received from SpinCo pursuant to the SpinCo Cash Distribution (the "SpinCo Cash Proceeds") to holders of Eligible RemainCo Debt in satisfaction of such debt, distribute the SpinCo Cash Proceeds to holders of RemainCo Common Stock as a special dividend and/or purchase outstanding shares of RemainCo Common Stock pursuant to a newly authorized RemainCo share repurchase program (collectively, the "SpinCo Cash Proceeds Purge"); and (b) no later than 24 months following the SpinCo Contribution, RemainCo will transfer any shares of SpinCo Common Stock not distributed by RemainCo in the Distribution ("Remainder SpinCo Shares") to holders of Eligible RemainCo Debt in satisfaction of such debt (any such transfer, an "Equity-for-Debt Exchange"), distribute the Remainder SpinCo Shares to holders of RemainCo Common Stock as a special dividend and/or transfer the Remainder SpinCo Shares to holders of RemainCo Common Stock pursuant to an offer to exchange the Remainder SpinCo Shares for outstanding shares of RemainCo Common Stock (any distribution or transfer of Remainder SpinCo Shares to holders of RemainCo Common Stock, a "Back-End Distribution");
WHEREAS , SpinCo has been formed for this purpose and has not engaged in activities except those in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Internal Reorganization, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and those activities necessary in connection with its standup
as an independent company (including activities with respect to the SpinCo Financing Arrangements and the distribution of the SpinCo Common Stock);
WHEREAS , for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (a) it is intended that the SpinCo Contribution and the Distribution, taken together, qualify as a "reorganization" pursuant to Section 355 and Section 368(a)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and (b) this Agreement (including the Reorganization Step Plan) is intended to constitute, and is hereby adopted as, a "plan of reorganization" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a); and
WHEREAS , each of RemainCo and SpinCo has determined that it is necessary and desirable to agree to the principal corporate transactions required to effect the Internal Reorganization (to the extent not already effected prior to the date hereof), the SpinCo Cash Distribution, the issuance of the SpinCo Exchange Debt and the Distribution and to enter into other agreements that will govern certain other matters following the Effective Time.
