Filed August 15, 2019For Securities:FDX

Summary

This filing is an amendment (10-K/A) to FedEx Corporation's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019. The primary purpose of this amendment is to disclose information related to international trade sanctions compliance, specifically concerning shipments facilitated by P2P Mailing Limited, a company acquired by FedEx. While the original 10-K was filed on July 16, 2019, this amendment adds disclosure required by Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 and Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act. FedEx disclosed that P2P Mailing Limited, from its acquisition in March 2018 through early February 2019, facilitated a limited number of shipments into Iran. These shipments, primarily consumer goods, generated approximately £16,067 ($19,500) in gross revenue and £5,083 ($6,200) in profit. The company has since implemented enhanced controls and procedures to prevent such shipments, and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has closed its investigation into the matter. No other financial or operational information from the original 10-K is updated by this amendment.

FedEx disclosed that its acquired subsidiary, P2P Mailing Limited, facilitated a limited number of shipments into Iran between March 2018 and February 2019. These shipments resulted in minimal aggregate gross revenue of approximately £16,067 (about $19,500) and profit of approximately £5,083 (about $6,200). FedEx has stated these shipments were not in accordance with their internal policies and has taken corrective actions. The U.S. OFAC investigated and has since closed its inquiry into the matter.

No, this amendment does not update any financial performance or operational information from the original Form 10-K filed on July 16, 2019. The amendment is strictly limited to providing additional disclosure related to past international trade sanctions compliance issues.

Upon learning of the shipments, FedEx implemented a mechanism to prevent further shipments into Iran through P2P's service offerings, and no such shipments have occurred since. They have also implemented enhanced controls and procedures to ensure P2P's compliance with FedEx's export controls and economic sanctions programs. FedEx also voluntarily self-disclosed the matter to OFAC.
