(1) The
Company is offering to accept the maximum principal amount of validly tendered (and not validly
withdrawn) Notes in the Offers for which the aggregate purchase price, not including accrued
and unpaid interest, does not exceed $4,150,000,000 (the “Offer Cap”) using a
“waterfall” methodology under which the Company will accept the Notes in order
of their respective acceptance priority levels noted in the table above (the “Acceptance
Priority Levels”).
The Company also announced on July 10, 2026 the
pricing terms of the Offers. Accordingly, on July 14, 2026 (the “Early Settlement Date”), the Company expects to accept for
purchase pursuant to the Offers the full amount of each series of the 4.500% Notes due 2065 (which have an Acceptance Priority Level
of 1), the full amount of each series of the 3.250% Notes due 2041 (which have an Acceptance Priority Level of 2), the full amount of
each series of the 4.050% Notes due 2048 (which have an Acceptance Priority Level of 3), the full amount of each series of the 3.875%
Notes due 2042 (which have an Acceptance Priority Level of 4), the full amount of each series of the 4.100% Notes due 2045 (which have
an Acceptance Priority Level of 5), the full amount of each series of the 4.100% Notes due 2043 (which have an Acceptance Priority Level
of 6), the full amount of each series of the 4.400% Notes due 2047 (which have an Acceptance Priority Level of 7), the full amount of
each series of the 4.550% Notes due 2046 (which have an Acceptance Priority Level of 8), the full amount of each series of the 4.750%
Notes due 2045 (which have an Acceptance Priority Level of 9), the full amount of each series of the 2.400% Notes due 2031 (which have
an Acceptance Priority Level of 10), the full amount of each series of the 4.950% Notes due 2048 (which have an Acceptance Priority Level
of 11), the full amount of each series of the 3.900% Notes due 2035 (which have an Acceptance Priority Level of 12) and a portion of
each series of the 5.100% Notes due 2044 (which have an Acceptance Priority Level of 13) validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at
or prior to the Early Tender Time (as defined below) on a prorated basis as described in the Offer to Purchase, using a proration factor
of approximately 41.3%, so that the aggregate purchase price does not exceed the Offer Cap. The 3.100% Notes due 2029 (which have an
Acceptance Priority Level of 14), the 5.250% Notes due 2050 (which have an Acceptance Priority Level of 15), the 3.400% Notes due 2028
(which have an Acceptance Priority Level of 16), the 4.250% Notes due 2030 (which have an Acceptance Priority Level of 17), the 4.200%
Notes due 2028 (which have an Acceptance Priority Level of 18) and the 4.900% Notes due 2034 (which have an Acceptance Priority Level
of 19) will not be accepted for purchase. After applying the proration factor to each series of 5.100% Notes due 2044, the Company expects
to accept $23,475,000 aggregate principal amount (CUSIP No. 31428XAW6) and $110,993,000 aggregate principal amount (CUSIP No. U31520AS5,
31428XCR5 and 31428XDP8) of the 5.100% Notes due 2044 for purchase in the Offers.
Although the Offers are scheduled to expire at
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 24, 2026, unless extended or terminated, because the aggregate purchase price of Notes validly
tendered (and not validly withdrawn) prior to or at the Early Tender Time exceeded the Offer Cap, there will be no Final Settlement Date
(as defined in the Offer to Purchase), and no Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time will be accepted for purchase. Notes tendered
and not purchased on the Early Settlement Date will be returned to holders promptly after such date.

The
Company intends to pay the purchase price for the Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase in the
Offers with the proceeds of the approximately $4.1 billion dividend received from FedEx Freight Holding Company, Inc. (“FedEx
Freight”) in connection with the spin-off of FedEx Freight on June 1, 2026 (the “Spin-Off”), together with cash on
hand. Accrued and unpaid interest payable in respect of the Notes accepted for purchase and fees and expenses associated with the Offers
will be paid with cash on hand.

the early tender results and the pricing terms of the Offers is attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, and the information

to Item 8.01 is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell securities. No offer, solicitation, purchase or sale
