FedEx Corp. is laying off more than 10% of its officer and director team as the company cuts costs and aligns its network with demand trends.

"It is my responsibility to look critically at the business and determine where we can be stronger by better aligning the size of our network with customer demand," Chief Executive Raj Subramaniam said. "While we have already taken many actions to that end, it was necessary to also look closely at the size of our leadership team and functions that could be consolidated."

Representatives for FedEx didn't immediately return a request for comment on how many employees will be affected.

FedEx has faced pressure from activist investor D.E. Shaw Group, The Wall Street Journal has previously reported.

Shares of FedEx rose 2% to $197.63 in midday trading.
