<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">On April&nbsp;7, 2009, the management of FedEx Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary Federal Express Corporation
made the decision to permanently remove from service ten Airbus A310-200 aircraft and four Boeing MD10-10 aircraft
owned by the company, along with certain excess aircraft engines, during the fourth quarter ending May&nbsp;31, 2009. This
decision reflects management&#146;s ongoing efforts to optimize the company&#146;s express network in light of continued excess
aircraft capacity due to weak economic conditions and the expected
delivery of newer, more fuel-efficient aircraft in fiscal year&nbsp;2010. As a result of this decision, a noncash charge of approximately
$180&nbsp;million for impairment of the value of the aircraft and
engines will be recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. The
company does not expect to be required to make any current or future cash expenditures as a result of the impairment.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">A limited
amount of the company&#146;s total aircraft capacity remains temporarily grounded because of network overcapacity. Any future
decisions to further alter our networks by eliminating additional aircraft may lead to additional asset impairment
charges.
