price for, or additional amounts as described under "Description of the Notes
--Payment of Additional Amounts," if any, with respect to, the notes will be

RISK FACTORS
Investing in the notes involves risks. In connection with any investment in the notes, you should consider carefully (i) the factors identified in the
"Risk Factors" sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarterly period ended August 31, 2018 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended November 30, 2018, (ii) the factors set
forth below related to the notes, and (iii) the other information set forth elsewhere in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and in
the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
Holders of the notes will receive payments solely in euro except under the limited circumstances provided herein
All payments of interest on and the principal of the notes and any redemption price for, or additional amounts with respect to, the notes will be
made in euro except under the limited circumstances provided herein. See "Description of the Notes--Issuance in Euro." We, the underwriters, the
trustee and the paying agent with respect to the notes will not be obligated to convert, or to assist any registered owner or beneficial owner of such
notes in converting, payments of interest, principal, any redemption price or any additional amount in euro made with respect to such notes into U.S.

The United Kingdom's impending departure from the European Union could adversely affect the value of the notes
The United Kingdom held a referendum on June 23, 2016 in which a majority of voters voted to exit the European Union ("Brexit") and on
March 29, 2017, the United Kingdom submitted a formal notification of its intention to withdraw from the European Union pursuant to Article 50 of the
Treaty of Lisbon. The United Kingdom has a period of a maximum of two years from the date of its formal notification (such period ending on
March 29, 2019, unless an extension is agreed) to negotiate the terms of its withdrawal from, and future relationship with, the European Union,
including the terms of trade between the United Kingdom and the European Union and potentially other countries. If no formal withdrawal agreement is
reached between the United Kingdom and the European Union, then it is expected the United Kingdom's membership of the European Union will
automatically terminate two years after the submission of the notification of the United Kingdom's intention to withdraw from the European Union,
unless all remaining member states unanimously consent to an extension of this period. Discussions between the United Kingdom and the European
Union focused on finalizing withdrawal issues and transition agreements are ongoing. However, limited progress to date in these negotiations and
ongoing uncertainty within the UK Government and Parliament sustains the possibility of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union on
March 29, 2019 without a withdrawal agreement and associated transition period in place, which is likely to cause significant market and economic
disruption. The effects of Brexit will depend on any agreements the United Kingdom makes to retain access to European Union markets either during a
transitional period or more permanently. Brexit could adversely affect European and worldwide economic and market conditions and could contribute to
instability in global financial and foreign exchange markets, including volatility in the value of the euro. In addition, Brexit could lead to legal
uncertainty and potentially divergent national laws and regulations as the United Kingdom determines which European Union laws to replace or
replicate. Any of these effects of Brexit, and others we cannot anticipate, could negatively impact the value of the notes.
S-5
Table of Contents
Holders of the notes may be subject to certain risks relating to the euro, including the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, as well
as possible exchange controls
The initial investors in the notes will be required to pay for the notes in euro. Neither we nor the underwriters will be obligated to assist the initial
investors in obtaining euro or in converting other currencies into euro to facilitate the payment of the purchase price for the notes.
An investment in any security denominated in, and all payments with respect to which are to be made in, a currency other than the currency of the
country in which an investor in the notes resides or the currency in which an investor conducts its business or activities (the "investor's home
currency"), entails significant risks not associated with a similar investment in a security denominated in the investor's home currency. In the case of the
notes offered hereby, these risks may include the possibility of:
·
significant changes in rates of exchange between the euro and the investor's home currency; and
·
the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls with respect to the euro or the investor's home currency.
We have no control over a number of factors affecting the notes and foreign exchange rates, including economic, financial and political events that
are important in determining the existence, magnitude and longevity of these risks and their effects. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates between
two currencies result from the interaction over time of many factors directly or indirectly affecting economic and political conditions in the countries
issuing such currencies, and economic and political developments globally and in other relevant countries. Foreign currency exchange rates may be
affected by, among other factors, existing and expected rates of inflation, existing and expected interest rate levels, the balance of payments between
countries and the extent of governmental surpluses or deficits in various countries. All of these factors are, in turn, sensitive to the monetary, fiscal and
trade policies pursued by the governments of various countries important to international trade and finance. Moreover, global economic instability and
the actions taken or to be taken by various national governments in response to such instability as well as market perceptions concerning the instability
of the euro could significantly affect the exchange rates between the euro and the investor's home currency.
The exchange rates of an investor's home currency for euro and the fluctuations in those exchange rates that have occurred in the past are not
necessarily indicative of the exchange rates or the fluctuations therein that may occur in the future. Depreciation of the euro against the investor's home
currency would result in a decrease in the investor's home currency equivalent yield on a note, in the investor's home currency equivalent of the
principal payable at the maturity of that note and generally in the investor's home currency equivalent market value of that note. Appreciation of the
euro in relation to the investor's home currency would have the opposite effects.
The European Union or one or more of its member states may, in the future, impose exchange controls and modify any exchange controls imposed,
which controls could affect exchange rates, as well as the availability of euro at the time of payment of principal of, interest on, or any redemption
payment or additional amounts with respect to, the notes.
Furthermore, the Indenture (as defined herein) is, and the notes will be, governed by the laws of the State of New York. Under New York law, a
New York state court rendering a judgment on the notes would be required to render the judgment in euro. However, the judgment would be converted
into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of entry of the judgment. Consequently, in a lawsuit for payment on the notes, investors
would be exposed to variations in the U.S. dollar/euro exchange rate until a New York state court judgment is entered, and we cannot predict how long
this would take. A U.S. federal court sitting in New York with diversity jurisdiction over a dispute arising in connection with the notes would apply the

foregoing New York law. In courts outside of New York,

investors may not be able to obtain a judgment in a currency other than U.S. dollars. For example, a judgment for money in an action based on the
notes in many other U.S. federal or state courts ordinarily would be rendered in the United States only in U.S. dollars. The date used to determine the
rate of conversion of euro into U.S. dollars would depend upon various factors, including which court renders the judgment and when the judgment is
rendered.
This description of foreign exchange risks does not describe all the risks of an investment in securities, including, in particular, the notes, that are
denominated or payable in a currency other than an investor's home currency. You should consult your own financial, legal and tax advisors as to the
risks involved in an investment in the notes.
The notes permit us to make payments in U.S. dollars if we are unable to obtain euro, which could adversely affect the value of the notes
If, as described under "Description of the Notes--Issuance in Euro," we are unable to obtain euro in amounts sufficient to make a required payment
under the notes due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond our control (including the dissolution of the European
Monetary Union) or if the euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their
currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the
notes will be made in U.S. dollars until the euro is again available to us or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in euro will
be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close of business on the second business day prior to the
relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the then most recent U.S.
dollar/euro exchange rate available on or prior to the second business day prior to the relevant payment date as determined by us in our sole discretion.
There can be no assurance that this exchange rate will be as favorable to holders of notes as the exchange rate otherwise determined by applicable law.
These potential developments, or market perceptions concerning these and related issues, could adversely affect the value of the notes.
Trading in the clearing systems is subject to minimum denomination requirements
The notes will be issued only in minimum denominations of 100,000 and integral multiples of 1,000 in excess thereof. It is possible that the
clearing systems may process trades which could result in amounts being held in denominations smaller than the minimum denominations. If definitive
notes are required to be issued in relation to such notes in accordance with the provisions of the relevant global notes, a holder who does not have the
minimum denomination or an integral multiple of 1,000 in excess thereof in its account with the relevant clearing system at the relevant time may not
receive all of its entitlement in the form of definitive notes unless and until such time as its holding satisfies the minimum denomination requirement.
The Indenture does not limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur
The Indenture under which we will issue the notes and guarantees does not limit the amount of secured or unsecured indebtedness that we or our
subsidiaries may incur. In addition, other than the provisions relating to a Change of Control Repurchase Event, the Indenture, which is described below
under "Description of the Notes," also does not contain any debt covenants or provisions that afford holders of the notes protection in the event we
participate in a highly leveraged or similar transaction.
We depend upon our subsidiaries to service our debt
We are a holding company and derive all of our operating income from our subsidiaries. Our only source of cash to pay principal of and premium
and additional amounts, if any, and interest on the

notes is from dividends and other payments from our subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries' ability to make such payments may be restricted by, among other
things, applicable state and foreign corporate laws and other laws and regulations. In addition, our right and the rights of our creditors, including holders
of the notes, to participate in the assets of any non-guarantor subsidiary upon its liquidation or reorganization would be subject to the prior claims of
such non-guarantor subsidiary's creditors, except to the extent that we or a subsidiary guarantor may ourselves be a creditor with recognized claims
against such non-guarantor subsidiary. The notes will be guaranteed only by certain subsidiary guarantors. See "Description of the Notes--General." If
our subsidiaries do not provide us with enough cash to make payments on the notes when due, you may have to proceed directly against the subsidiary
guarantors.
The guarantees may be limited in duration

If we sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all of the capital stock or all or substantially all of the assets of a subsidiary guarantor to any person that
is not an affiliate of FedEx, the guarantee of that subsidiary will terminate and holders of the notes will no longer have a claim against such subsidiary
under the guarantee. See "Description of Debt Securities and Guarantees--Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets" in the accompanying prospectus.
The guarantees may be challenged as fraudulent conveyances
Federal, state and foreign bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar laws could limit the enforceability of a guarantee. For
example, creditors of a subsidiary guarantor could claim that, since the guarantees were incurred for the benefit of FedEx (and only indirectly for the
benefit of a subsidiary guarantor), the obligation of a subsidiary guarantor was incurred for less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration.
If any of our subsidiary guarantors is deemed to have received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for its guarantee and, at the
time it gave the guarantee, that subsidiary guarantor:
·
was insolvent or rendered insolvent by giving its guarantee;
·
was engaged in a business or transaction for which its remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or
·
intended to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature,
then the obligations of such subsidiary guarantor under its guarantee could be voided. If a court voided a guarantee as a result of a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance, then the holders of the notes would cease to have a claim against the subsidiary guarantor. In this regard, in an attempt to limit the
applicability of fraudulent transfer or conveyance laws, the Indenture limits the amount of each guarantee to the amount that will result in it not
constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. However, we cannot assure you as to what standard a court would apply in making a determination
regarding whether reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration was received or as to what would be the maximum liability of each guarantor or
whether this limitation would be effective in protecting a guarantee from being voided under fraudulent transfer or conveyance laws.
We may not be able to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event with respect to the notes, except to the extent we have exercised our right to redeem
the notes, we will be required to make an offer to each holder of the notes to repurchase all or any part of that holder's notes at a repurchase price in
cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the notes repurchased to, but not
including, the repurchase date.

It is possible that we will not have sufficient funds at the time of any Change of Control Repurchase Event to make the required repurchase of the
notes. In order to obtain sufficient funds to pay the repurchase price of the outstanding notes, we may need to refinance the notes. We cannot assure you
that we would be able to refinance the notes on reasonable terms, or at all. Our failure to offer to repurchase all outstanding notes or to repurchase all
validly tendered notes would be an event of default under the Indenture for the notes. Such an event of default may cause the acceleration of our other
debt. In addition, the terms of our other debt agreements or applicable law may limit our ability to repurchase the notes for cash. Our future debt also
may contain restrictions on repurchase requirements with respect to specified events or transactions that constitute a change of control under the
Indenture.
Ratings of the notes could be lowered in the future
We expect that the notes will be rated "investment grade" by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. A rating is not a
recommendation to purchase, hold or sell the notes, since a rating does not predict the market price of a particular security or its suitability for a
particular investor. A rating organization may lower our rating, or change our ratings' outlook, or decide not to rate our securities, temporarily or
permanently, in its sole discretion. The rating of the notes will be based primarily on the rating organization's assessment of the likelihood of timely
payment of interest when due on the notes and the ultimate payment of principal of the notes on the final maturity date. The reduction, suspension or
withdrawal of the ratings of the notes will not, in and of itself, constitute an event of default under the Indenture.
An active trading market for the notes may not develop
The notes are a new issue of securities for which no established trading market exists. If an active trading market does not develop for the notes,
investors may not be able to resell them. Although we expect the notes to be listed for trading on the NYSE, no assurance can be given that the notes
will become or remain listed, that a trading market for the notes will develop or of the price at which investors may be able to sell the notes, if at all. In
addition, we will have no obligations to maintain and may terminate any listing of the notes on the NYSE without the consent of the holders of the notes.
Certain of the underwriters for this offering have advised us that they intend to make a market in the notes after completion of the offering. However,
the underwriters are not obligated to do so and may discontinue any market-making with respect to the notes at any time without notice, in their sole
discretion. Therefore, no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or trading market for, the notes. The lack of a trading market could adversely
affect investors' ability to sell the notes and the price at which investors may be able to sell the notes. The liquidity of the trading market, if any, and
