On January 23, 2026, FedEx Express FR ("FedEx France"), a subsidiary of FedEx Corporation ("FedEx"), announced a transformation program to modernize and simplify its domestic operations in France. A copy of the press release issued by FedEx France on January 23, 2026, announcing the plan is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The proposal may reduce up to 500 operational positions and change working locations and schedules for up to 800 operational team members. The execution of this plan is expected to occur over approximately 18 months and is subject to a consultation process in accordance with local country processes and regulations. We expect the pre-tax costs of severance benefits, legal and professional fees, and facilities lease termination charges to be provided under and related to the transformation program to range from $175 million to $275 million, substantially all of which are cash expenditures. These charges are expected to be incurred through fiscal 2028 and will be classified as business optimization costs, net of payments. The actual amount and timing of costs related to the transformation program are dependent on local country consultation processes and regulations and negotiation social plans and may differ from our current expectations and estimates.

## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

![](tm263979d1_ex99-1img001.jpg)

**FedEx shares bold operational transformation plan to secure long-term competitiveness in France**

**Lyon, January 23, 2026 –** FedEx in France has today proposed a significant transformation programme to modernise and simplify its domestic operations in order to secure its long-term competitiveness in France. The proposal, which includes a restructuring of the company's facility footprint and a confirmed investment of up to €78M in new infrastructure and technology, underscores FedEx's commitment to France, one of the company's largest markets in Europe.

The French courier and express transportation market is dominated by a highly competitive and cost-pressurised domestic parcels sector. To strengthen its competitive position in France, FedEx has presented bold plans to redesign its ground operations network, modernise its technology and infrastructure footprint, and align its commercial strategy towards more international growth to and from France. Accordingly, there are no proposed changes to the FedEx international air network, including the Charles De Gaulle hub in Paris, as part of this programme.

The ground operations network redesign will simplify the network and eliminate overlapping infrastructure. As a result, the FedEx station footprint will be scaled down from 103 to 86 stations. In doing so, FedEx may reduce up to 500 operational positions and change working locations and schedules for up to 800 operational team members. Additionally, a potential more than 770 new full-time and part-time operations positions may be created as a result of the operations network redesign and technological enhancements, with affected employees given priority for these roles.

The plan comes with a confirmed investment of up to €78M to upgrade key facilities in the network and deploy state-of-the-art scanning technologies, improving the experience for team members and the service offered to customers. This is a clear demonstration of the commitment to the French market.

FedEx is also modernising its technology landscape, with the roll-out of an innovative new platform to optimise pickup and delivery operations. The platform digitises and unifies systems, modernises scanning processes, and improves service levels through enhanced route optimisation. Already proven in the U.S. to enhance team member and customer experiences, it is making its European debut in France.

In line with its people-focused culture, FedEx will conduct this process with the utmost care and respect and will work closely with social partners to establish fair and appropriate accompanying measures throughout the information and consultation process.

FedEx will pursue the formal consultation process with social partners in accordance with local labour law.
