FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FedEx Acquires American Freightways to Extend Reach
In Fast-Growing Regional Freight Market
American Freightways And Viking Freight Create New LTL Powerhouse
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Nov. 13, 2000 - FedEx Corporation (NYSE: FDX) and regional
freight carrier American Freightways Corporation (Nasdaq: AFWY) today jointly
announced an agreement for FedEx to acquire American Freightways for $28.13 per
share, or approximately $1.2 billion, including assumed debt, payable in cash
and FedEx stock. This transaction will be immediately accretive to FedEx
earnings.
The acquisition will allow FedEx Corp., also the parent company of Viking
Freight, to extend its reach by expanding its reliable, next-day regional
less-than-truckload (LTL) freight service with all-points coverage in 48
states. The joint revenues of American Freightways and Viking will create the
second-largest regional LTL freight unit in the United States with revenue of
more than $1.6 billion.
Leveraging 'A Perfect Strategic Fit'
"This acquisition is a perfect strategic fit that will give FedEx a unique
competitive advantage, generating incremental volume and revenue that neither
business could capture as a stand-alone," said Frederick W. Smith, Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer of FedEx Corp. "These two networks
complement each other geographically, matching Viking's leadership in the West
with American Freightways' strong presence throughout the Midwest, South and
Northeast. Extending our FedEx network also gives our customers just what they
need in today's high-speed, high-tech New Economy--greater choice and
flexibility in creating complete supply chain solutions. Plus, it's a great fit
for our people, who absolutely, positively provide the industry's most reliable
customer service.
"The American Freightways acquisition also fits into the FedEx business
strategy, with companies that operate independently, focused on distinct market
segments, yet compete collectively as a single-source provider for all
transportation, logistics and e-commerce needs," Smith added. "We believe this
business model offers superior benefits, without
Page 1
<PAGE>
the inherent trade-offs of a one-size-fits-all approach. Our complete portfolio
of independent FedEx networks powerfully demonstrates that the whole is greater
than the sum of its parts."
Creating a Competitive Service Advantage
The primary focus of this new FedEx LTL freight group is on intra-regional
transportation, with day-definite delivery in one to two business days;
however, customer shipments may also move across regions between the two
networks. Shipments originating with either American Freightways (AF) or Viking
will move anywhere in the country in up to four days as information systems
become integrated. That represents a competitive edge over national long-haul
LTL carriers, which typically take five to seven days to move freight across
the country. In addition, AF and Viking will offer distinct advantages over
stand-alone regional LTL companies, with direct pickup and delivery, wider
geographic coverage and greater market density.
Each company's sales team will sell bundled multi-regional LTL services. Over
time, the entire FedEx sales force will also be trained to cross-sell LTL
services to FedEx Express and FedEx Ground customers, which should generate
incremental volume and revenue in other FedEx transportation segments.
Viking and AF domestic service areas overlap only in Alaska, Arizona, Colorado,
Hawaii and New Mexico, and in Calexico, Calif., and El Paso, Texas. Neither
company currently serves Montana or Wyoming. AF also serves the Caribbean,
Guam, Puerto Rico and South America, and both companies serve Canada and
Mexico.
Benefiting Shareholders, Customers and Employees
"For American Freightways, joining forces with FedEx is a win-win situation for
our shareholders, customers and employees," said Sheridan Garrison, Chairman
and Founder of American Freightways. "Our shareholders would receive
approximately a 61% premium to our most recent market price which we believe
represents a significant value to them. Our customers win with the combination
of AF and Viking, which will create a flexible, regional LTL network that
provides next-day or second-day service within regions, with the option to move
shipments seamlessly on a multi-regional basis. Our AF associates also win with
greater long-term opportunities as part of the FedEx family."
Garrison will become the thirteenth member of the FedEx Corporation Board of
Directors and will serve as Chairman Emeritus and Founder of American
Freightways.
Tom Garrison will continue as President and CEO of American Freightways and
will report to Douglas G. Duncan, who will become President and CEO of a new
FedEx LTL freight group overseeing both AF and Viking operations. Also
reporting to Duncan will be Tilton Gore, currently a Viking Senior Vice
President, who will succeed Duncan as President and CEO of Viking Freight.

"This acquisition will expand the FedEx LTL freight presence much faster than
growing Viking eastward, and each company can continue to leverage the regional
strength of its brand name while operating as part of the global FedEx family,"
Duncan said. "Although there are no plans to merge these two profitable
companies, we do plan to explore all opportunities for synergies."
For example, both companies previously relied on third-party transportation
services to extend their coverage areas. "By joining forces, this new FedEx LTL
freight group can sell a more complete package of multi-regional services and
capture business that previously went to the competitors," Duncan added.
Expanding in the Fast-Growing LTL Market
Industry experts predict the regional LTL market will grow by nearly 10 percent
per year from 2000 to 2004. LTL carriers deliver bulk freight shipments
weighing over 150 pounds that can be moved entirely by truck and still meet
day-definite delivery requirements.
American Freightways and Viking Freight will operate independently under their
own brand names as part of the FedEx family, which includes approximately
200,000 employees and contractors at FedEx Express, FedEx Ground, FedEx
Logistics, FedEx Custom Critical, and FedEx Trade Networks. AF is based in
Harrison, Ark., with more than 17,000 associates in 40 states. Viking is based
in San Jose, Calif., and employs about 5,400 in 11 western states.
FedEx Corp. and American Freightways stated that they were both comfortable
with the First Call consensus earnings estimates for their current quarters.
A conference call for media and financial analysts will be held at 10:00 a.m.
(EST) on November 13, 2000, and will be webcast at
www.fedex.com/us/investorrelations. A replay of the conference call webcast
will be posted on the web site following the call and will remain available for
approximately two weeks.
About the Transaction
Both boards of directors have approved the transaction, and the companies have
signed a definitive agreement. The $1.2 billion purchase includes $950 million
in a half-cash, half-stock transaction and the assumption of approximately $250
million in American Freightways debt.
FedEx will make a cash tender offer for up to 50.1% of the outstanding shares
of American Freightways Corporation (AF) at a price of $28.13 per share.
Following completion of the tender offer, AF will merge into a newly created
subsidiary of FedEx Corporation, pursuant to which each AF common share will be
converted into shares of FedEx Corporation common stock having a value of
$28.13 per share.

<PAGE>
The transaction is subject to the approval of AF shareholders and other
customary conditions, including Hart-Scott-Rodino clearance. The Merger
Agreement also includes customary provisions relating to the fiduciary duty of
directors. AF shareholders who own in the aggregate 37% of the outstanding AF
shares have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the merger. The companies
expect the tender offer to be completed in mid-December and the merger to be
completed in the first quarter of 2001. The companies expect the merger to be
tax-free to AF shareholders who receive FedEx Corporation stock.
"We have arranged a $750 million line-of-credit facility with Chase Bank for
the cash portion of the transaction and for refinancing American Freightways'
debt, should we elect to do so," said Alan B. Graf Jr., Executive Vice
President and CFO of FedEx Corp. "We anticipate that Moody's and S&P will
reaffirm our current debt rating, which is Baa2 and BBB, respectively. We have
sufficient shares of treasury stock to complete the second half of the
transaction, which is an exchange of common shares of stock. As for our
financial reporting, we plan to report separate results for the FedEx LTL
freight group beginning with the release of fiscal third-quarter earnings."
