SECTION 5.  CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT.

Item 5.02.                  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(d)  Election of New Director: On March 10, 2014, the Board of Directors of FedEx Corporation elected Marvin R. Ellison as a director, effective immediately.  The Board also appointed Mr. Ellison as a member of its Compensation Committee.  A copy of FedEx’s press release announcing Mr. Ellison’s election is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

Mr. Ellison was elected for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders in September 2014, at which time his continued Board service will be subject to renomination and stockholder approval.  With the election of Mr. Ellison, the size of the Board of Directors is now 13 members.

The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Ellison is independent and meets the applicable independence requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and the Board’s more stringent standards for determining director independence.  There have been no transactions since the beginning of FedEx’s last fiscal year, and there are no currently proposed transactions, in which FedEx was or is to be a participant and in which Mr. Ellison or any member of his immediate family had or will have any interest, that are required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

The selection of Mr. Ellison was not pursuant to any arrangement or understanding between him and any other person.

Mr. Ellison will be compensated in accordance with the previously disclosed compensation program for FedEx’s non-management (outside) directors.  Accordingly, he received a stock option for 1,753 shares of FedEx common stock and a prorated annual retainer payment upon his election to the Board.

Item 5.03.                      Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On March 10, 2014, the Board of Directors of FedEx approved amendments to the Amended and Restated Bylaws of FedEx (the “Bylaws”), effective immediately, as described below.

Former Article II, Section 12, the advance notice provision, was separated into three sections, Article II, Sections 12, 13 and 14.  There were no substantive changes to the advance notice provision.  The Board also approved certain technical corrections and non-substantive changes to the Bylaws.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws as adopted and effective as of March 10, 2014.  The Amended and Restated Bylaws as adopted and effective as of March 10, 2014, and a copy marked to show changes from the prior Amended and Restated Bylaws are attached hereto as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.
