FedEx Freight Holding Company, Inc. (FDXF) disclosed a change in control of the registrant on June 1, 2026, according to an 8-K filed with the SEC that same day.

The filing reports Item 5.01 changes in control, Item 1.01 entry into a material definitive agreement, Item 2.03 creation of a direct financial obligation, Item 3.03 material modification to rights of security holders, Item 5.02 departure and election of directors and principal officers, Item 5.03 amendments to articles of incorporation or bylaws, and additional items through 9.01 exhibits.

The change in control occurred through a purchase or merger transaction that installed a new controlling party. It produced a complete turnover of the board of directors and named executive officers. Item 5.02 details the departure of prior officers and directors and the election of replacements, all effective June 1, 2026.

No departing officer cited a disagreement on any matter relating to the company's operations, policies or practices.

Operationally the company now operates under new ownership and governance. The prior board and management structure ended June 1; the new board and officers assumed control the same day. The material definitive agreement and associated direct financial obligation alter the company's capital structure and security-holder rights.

Amendments to the articles of incorporation or bylaws took effect immediately upon closing.

Downstream, the company must now file any required updated registration statements or proxy materials reflecting the new control group and board composition. Contractual milestones tied to the material agreement, including any debt covenants created by the new financial obligation, become active.

The new board holds authority to approve future SEC filings and corporate actions. Standard post-transaction Form 4s for new officers and directors will be required within two business days of any subsequent transactions.

This filing marks the formal public record of the previously non-public transaction for the FedEx Freight business unit. The 8-K contains the full text of the material agreements and amended governing documents as exhibits.
