MEMPHIS, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) today announced the filing of the Form 10 registration statement (the “Form 10”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the planned spin-off of FedEx Freight. A copy of the Form 10 is available on the SEC website at www.sec.gov and can also be viewed on FedEx’s Investor Relations website.

“Today’s Form 10 filing reflects the strong progress we are making toward the launch of FedEx Freight as a focused, industry-leading LTL company,” said Raj Subramaniam, FedEx Corp. president and chief executive officer. “This separation will create two world-class companies, positioning both FedEx and FedEx Freight to better serve customers and unlock long-term value for all stockholders.”

“FedEx Freight is built on a strong foundation, powered by our expansive network, differentiated service model, and 39,000 highly skilled and dedicated team members,” said John Smith, FedEx Freight incoming president and chief executive officer. “Today’s filing is a key milestone in our journey toward being an independent company, positioned to deliver greater value as the premier LTL freight carrier in North America.”

Highlights from the Form 10

The Form 10 highlights how FedEx Freight will:

  • Leverage its comprehensive national LTL network, industry-leading scale, and premium, differentiated, flexible model to strengthen customer relationships, deliver best-in-class transit times and reliability, and deepen its position in the resilient and attractive LTL market.
  • Execute a focused commercial and operational strategy centered on high-growth verticals, technology and infrastructure investment, and ongoing efficiency initiatives to enable meaningful growth, extend its competitive leadership, and maximize the benefits of a streamlined, LTL-focused operating model.
  • Drive sustained profitable growth, strong cash generation, and disciplined capital allocation to fund high-return innovation and network investments and responsibly return capital to stockholders over time.
