Full Description

Project narrative

Borrowings under the New Credit Agreement may be used for FedEx’s general corporate purposes, including commercial paper back-up and acquisitions. On April 26, 2011, financial close was reached on a deal in which a syndicate of 27 banks — including ICBC — entered into a $1,000,000,000 USD syndicated loan agreement with FedEx Corporation, a Memphis, Tennessee-based multinational courier and logistics services company. The maturity of the loan is 5 years, and the interest rate is LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The proceeds were used by the borrower for FedEx’s general corporate purposes, including commercial paper back-up and acquisitions. While ICBC contributed $25,000,000 USD to this loan, the following lenders also participated: JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ($85,000,000 USD), Bank of America, N.A. ($65,000,000 USD), Citibank, N.A. ($85,000,000 USD), The Bank of Nova Scotia ($65,000,000 USD), Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A.

($25,000,000 USD), Commerzbank AG ($25,000,000 USD), Fifth Third Bank ($25,000,000 USD), HSBC Bank USA, National Association ($25,000,000 USD), KeyBank National Association ($25,000,000 USD), PNC Bank, National Association ($25,000,000 USD), Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation ($25,000,000 USD), The Bank of New York Mellon ($25,000,000 USD), US Bank National Association ($25,000,000 USD), Comerica ($20,000,000 USD), First Tennessee Bank National Association ($20,000,000 USD), KBC Bank ($20,000,000 USD), Standard Chartered Bank ($20,000,000 USD), and State Street Bank and Trust Company ($20,000,000 USD). On November 13, 2015, the borrower and certain lenders entered into an agreement to replace the loan. There’s no Chinese bank involvement.
