On May 14, 2026, Guy M. Erwin II was named to serve as Senior Vice President – Chief Accounting Officer of FedEx Freight Holding Company, Inc. (“FedEx Freight” or the “Company”) beginning on June 1, 2026.

Mr. Erwin, 49, will continue to serve as Corporate Vice President – Chief Accounting Officer of FedEx Corporation (“FedEx”), a position he has held since May 2024, through May 31, 2026. He previously served as Interim Principal Accounting Officer of FedEx from October 2023 to April 2024 and Staff Vice President and Corporate Controller of FedEx from September 2021 to October 2023. He was Director – Accounting of FedEx Corporate Services, Inc. from 2017 to 2021. Prior to that, he held various positions in the finance organization at FedEx from 2001 through 2017, including Staff Director – Financial Reporting from 2013 to 2017.

There are no transactions in which Mr. Erwin or any members of his immediate family have any interest that are required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. No family relationships exist between Mr. Erwin and any director or executive officer of FedEx Freight. The appointment of Mr. Erwin was not pursuant to any arrangement or understanding between him and any person other than a designated executive officer of FedEx Freight serving in his or her official capacity.

In connection with his appointment as FedEx Freight’s Senior Vice President – Chief Accounting Officer, Mr. Erwin is expected to receive a special equity-based award. He will receive a base salary and be eligible to participate in FedEx Freight’s annual incentive compensation plans and long-term incentive program, including equity-based awards under the FedEx Freight 2026 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, at levels commensurate with other similarly situated persons at FedEx Freight.
