Proxy Statement Summary – Proposal 2PROPOSAL 2Advisory Vote to ApproveNamed Executive OfficerCompensationYour Board of Directors recommends that youvote “FOR” this proposalSee page 34EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION DESIGNOur executive compensation program is designed not only to retain andattract highly qualified and effective executives, but also to motivate them tosubstantially contribute to FedEx’s future success for the long-term benefitof shareowners and reward them for doing so. We believe there shouldbe a strong relationship between pay and corporate performance, and ourexecutive compensation program reflects this belief.In the 2018 advisory vote,95.3% of the votedshares supported thecompensation of ournamed executive officers.ELEMENTS OF COMPENSATIONThe elements of target total direct compensation for fiscal 2019 are presented below.Element and Fiscal 2019Average NEO Target Pay Mix(1)LONG-TERMSHORT-TERMBase Salary15%PerformanceBased AIC18%RestrictedStock(2)23%Stock Options22%PerformanceBased LTIDescription and MetricsFixed cash income to retain and attract highly marketable executives in acompetitive market for executive talent.Annual cash incentive program designed to motivate our executives toachieve annual financial goals and other business objectives and reward themaccordingly.

Proxy Statement Summary – Proposal 3FISCAL 2019 COMPENSATION HIGHLIGHTS In response to the challenging business conditions, the fiscal 2019 annual incentive compensation programwas amended to provide that no officers or managing/staff directors across the enterprise, including thenamed executive officers, would receive a payout under the program. The FY2017-FY2019 long-term incentive plan paid above target to all participants, including the namedexecutive officers, as the company’s strong adjusted EPS results in fiscal 2018 more than offset weakerthan expected adjusted EPS results in fiscal 2019. Officers realize value from the stock options recognized in the total direct compensation calculation only ifthe stock price appreciates after the grant date. The exercise price for the fiscal 2019 annual option grant toexecutive officers exceeded the closing price of FedEx common stock on July 29, 2019.PROPOSAL 3Approve the FedExCorporation 2019 OmnibusStock Incentive PlanYour Board of Directors recommends that youvote “FOR” this proposalSee page 80FedEx relies on equity awards to retain and attract key employees and non-employee Board members andbelieves that equity incentives are necessary for FedEx to remain competitive in retaining and attractinghighly qualified individuals upon whom, in large measure, the future growth and success of FedEx depend.The FedEx Corporation 2010 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, which is the only FedEx equitycompensation plan under which equity or equity-based awards can be made, is scheduled to expire onJune 30, 2020. In order to continue the practice of granting equity incentive awards, the Board of Directorsis seeking stockholder approval of the 2019 Plan. If adopted, the 2019 Plan will become effective onSeptember 24, 2019 (the date immediately following the annual meeting).If adopted, the number of shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan will equal the sum of(i) 6.7 million shares and (ii) the total number of shares remaining available for awards under the 2010 Plan,up to a maximum of 17,000,000 shares. Of the shares authorized for issuance under the 2019 Plan, themaximum number that may be issued as full-value awards will be 1,500,000.FEDEX.COM5
