AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · FedEx (FDX)

FedEx completes spin-off of FedEx Freight, which begins trading as FDXF on June 1

Neutral Impact 5 of 5 restructuring Written later

FedEx completed the spin-off of FedEx Freight effective 12:01 a.m. Central Time on June 1, 2026, distributing 80.1% of FedEx Freight shares to FedEx stockholders. FedEx Freight began regular-way trading on the NYSE under FDXF that day, and FedEx continues to trade as FDX, so shareholders now hold stock in two separate public companies. The filing also covers agreements governing the continuing relationship between the two companies and leadership changes tied to the separation.

Key points

  • Each FedEx stockholder received one FedEx Freight share for every two FedEx shares held at the close of business on May 15, 2026; cash is paid in lieu of fractional shares.
  • FedEx retained 19.9% of FedEx Freight shares and will dispose of them within 24 months of the separation.
  • John A. Smith resigned as FedEx Chief Operating Officer, United States and Canada, to become President and CEO of FedEx Freight.
  • Stephen E. Gorman left the FedEx Board to join the FedEx Freight board, and the FedEx Board decreased in size from thirteen to twelve members.
