The Equipment Notes bear interest at the rate of 1.875% per annum. The Equipment Notes were purchased by the Trustee using the proceeds from the sale of a total of $970,000,000 aggregate principal amount of FedEx Express Class AA Pass Through Certificates, Series 2020-1AA (the “Certificates”) through the Trust. The Trustee will distribute payments of principal, make-whole amount (if any) and interest received on the Equipment Notes to the holders of the Certificates, subject to the subordination provisions set forth in the intercreditor agreement, dated as of August 13, 2020, among the Trustee, the Liquidity Provider and the Subordination Agent. Pursuant to a Revolving Credit Agreement dated August 13, 2020, between BNP Paribas, acting through its New York Branch, as liquidity provider (the “Liquidity Provider”), and the Subordination Agent, the Liquidity Provider will provide a liquidity facility for the Certificates, in an amount sufficient to make three semiannual interest distributions on the outstanding balance of the Certificates.
Issuer evidence: On August 13, 2020, Federal Express Corporation (“FedEx Express”), a wholly owned subsidiary of FedEx Corporation (the “Company”), and Wilmington Trust Company, as subordination agent (the “Subordination Agent”), loan trustee and pass through trustee (the “Trustee”) under a pass through trust agreement pursuant to which a newly formed pass through trust (the “Trust”) was created by FedEx Express, entered into 19 separate Participation Agreements, each dated as of August 13, 2020 (each, a “Participation Agreement” and, collectively, the “Participation Agreements”). The Participation Agreements provide for the issuance by FedEx Express of equipment notes (the “Equipment Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $970,000,000 secured by thirteen Boeing 767-300F aircraft and six Boeing 777F aircraft, delivered new to FedEx Express between September 2015 and June 2020 (each such aircraft, an “Aircraft” and, collectively, the “Aircraft”), and which are substantially identical with respect to each model of Aircraft.
Supporting evidence: The interest on the Equipment Notes is payable semiannually on February 20 and August 20 of each year, beginning on February 20, 2021. The principal payments on the Equipment Notes are scheduled on February 20 and August 20 of each year, beginning on February 20, 2021. The final payments are expected to be due on February 20, 2034. Maturity of the Equipment Notes may be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain events of default, including failure by FedEx Express (in some cases after notice or the expiration of a grace period, or both) to make payments under the applicable Indenture when due or to comply with certain covenants, as well as certain bankruptcy events involving FedEx Express or the Company. The Equipment Notes issued with respect to each Aircraft are secured by a lien on such Aircraft and are also cross-collateralized by the other Aircraft. The payment obligations of FedEx Express in respect of the Equipment Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company.
