<P style="font-size: 10pt" align="left">On January&nbsp;9, 2009, FedEx
Corporation&#8217;s wholly owned subsidiary Federal Express Corporation
(&#8220;FedEx Express&#8221;) and The Boeing Company entered into Supplemental
Agreement No.&nbsp;4 (and related side letters) (the &#8220;Supplemental
Agreement&#8221;) to the Boeing 777 Freighter (B777F) Purchase Agreement dated
as of November&nbsp;7, 2006 between Boeing and FedEx Express.

<P style="font-size: 10pt" align="left">In the original purchase agreement,
FedEx Express agreed to purchase 15 B777F aircraft and obtained an option to
purchase an additional 15 B777F aircraft. In the Supplemental Agreement, FedEx
Express exercised this option and obtained another option to purchase an
additional 15 B777F aircraft. Accordingly, FedEx Express has now agreed to
purchase a total of 30 B777F aircraft and holds an option to purchase an
additional 15 B777F aircraft.

<P style="font-size: 10pt" align="left">The Supplemental Agreement also
deferred the scheduled delivery of certain of the B777F aircraft. The
agreement, as supplemented, now provides for delivery of four B777Fs in
FedEx&#8217;s fiscal year 2010, four in fiscal 2011, three in each subsequent
fiscal year through fiscal 2018, and the remaining one in fiscal 2019.

<P style="font-size: 10pt" align="left">As a result of the exercise of the
option to purchase the additional 15 B777F aircraft and the rescheduled
delivery dates, the net change to FedEx&#8217;s expected capital expenditures
is an increase of approximately $15&nbsp;million in fiscal 2009 and of
approximately $2.75&nbsp;billion over the following 10 fiscal years.

<P style="font-size: 10pt" align="left">A copy of the Supplemental Agreement
will be filed as an exhibit to FedEx&#8217;s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for
the fiscal quarter ending February&nbsp;28, 2009.
