1993 Stock Incentive Plan
Paragraph 13 of the FedEx Corporation 1993 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, is hereby amended by:
(1) Deleting the first sentence of such paragraph and replacing it with the following:
“(a)Changes in Capital.
(1)Mandatory Adjustments. In the event of an “equity restructuring” (as such term is defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation”), including any stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, rights offering, or large nonrecurring cash dividend, the authorization limit under paragraph 2 shall be adjusted proportionately, and the Committee shall make such adjustments to the Plan and outstanding options as it deems necessary or appropriate, in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, including: (A) adjustment of the number and kind of shares or securities that may be issued under the Plan; (B) adjustment of the number and kind of shares or securities subject to outstanding options; (C) adjustment of the exercise price of outstanding options; and (D) any other adjustments that the Committee determines to be equitable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall not make any adjustments to outstanding options to the extent that it causes such options to provide for a deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code (including any applicable regulations and other guidance issued thereunder). Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock (a stock split), a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Common Stock into a lesser number of shares, the authorization limit under paragraph 2 shall automatically be adjusted proportionately, and the shares then subject to each outstanding option shall automatically, without the necessity for any additional action by the Committee, be adjusted proportionately without any change in the aggregate exercise price therefor.
(2)Discretionary Adjustments. Upon the occurrence or in anticipation of any share combination, exchange or reclassification, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other corporate reorganization affecting the Common Stock, or any transaction described in paragraph 13(a)(1), in addition to any of the actions described in paragraph 13(a)(1), the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide: (A) that options will become immediately vested and exercisable and will expire after a designated period of time to the extent not then exercised; (B) that options will be equitably converted, adjusted or substituted in connection with such transaction; (C) that outstanding options may be settled by payment in cash or cash equivalents equal to the excess of the fair market value of the underlying shares as of a specified date associated with the transaction, over the exercise price of the option; or (D) any combination of the foregoing. The Committee’s determination need not be uniform and may be different for different optionees whether or not such optionees are similarly situated.
(3)No Fractional Shares, etc.. After giving effect to any adjustment pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph 13(a), the number of shares subject to any option shall always be a whole number, unless otherwise determined by the Committee. Any discretionary adjustments made pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph 13(a) shall be subject to the provisions of paragraph 15. To the extent any adjustments made pursuant to this paragraph 13(a) cause incentive stock options to cease to qualify as incentive stock options, such options shall be deemed to be non-qualified stock options.”
and
(2) Designating the remainder of such paragraph as “(b)Change in Control.”

Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock (a stock split), a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Common Stock into a lesser number of shares, the authorization limits underSections 6(a),6(b) and9(a) shall automatically be adjusted proportionately, and the shares of Common Stock then subject to each outstanding Award shall automatically, without the necessity for any additional action by the Committee, be adjusted proportionately without any change in the aggregate exercise price therefor.
