SECTION 1. REGISTRANT’S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS.

 

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 23, 2013, FedEx Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiary Federal Express Corporation (“FedEx Express”) entered into a new seven-year transportation agreement with the United States Postal Service (the “USPS”) under which FedEx Express will provide domestic air transportation services to the USPS for Priority and Express Mail. The agreement is expected to generate approximately $10.5 billion in revenue for FedEx Express over its term, which begins on October 1, 2013, and ends on September 30, 2020. The agreement begins at the expiration of the existing seven-year transportation agreement dated July 31, 2006, between FedEx Express and the USPS. A copy of the new agreement will be filed as an exhibit to FedEx’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2013.

Certain statements in this report, including (but not limited to) the above statement regarding expected revenues from the new agreement, are “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to future events and financial performance. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated (expressed or implied) by such forward-looking statements, because of, among other things, the risks and uncertainties you can find in our press releases and other SEC filings, including the risk factors identified under the heading “Risk Factors” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, as updated by our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.
