Insights
Director received RSUs and stock in lieu of fees, increasing alignment with shareholders.
The grant of 823 RSUs vests at the next FedEx annual meeting and accrues dividend equivalents, indicating non-management director compensation is equity-based rather than cash-only.
This compensation converts part of the board retainer into stock: 591 shares were issued instead of the annual $140,000 fee at a per-share price of $236.885.
Insider increased direct and indirect holdings to 7,042 shares, reflecting ownership reporting updates.
After the transactions and a 12-share dividend reinvestment, reported beneficial ownership stands at 7,042 shares (6,451 direct, 1,000 indirect).
The RSUs vesting at the next annual meeting creates a near-term milestone (the meeting date) for potential share issuance; that date controls when direct holdings will increase.
