(a)

The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;

(b)

The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

(c)

As previously announced by Expeditors International of Washington, Inc. (the “Company”) in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 22, 2022, the “Company” determined that it was the subject of a targeted cyber-attack on February 20, 2022. Upon discovering the incident, the Company shut down most of its operating systems globally, including its accounting systems to manage the safety of its entire global systems environment. As a result, the Company is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2021, within the prescribed time-period due to the difficulty in obtaining the required information and completing the steps necessary to finalize the Form 10-K without unreasonable effort and expense. The Company does not expect any changes to its financial results reported in its press release, furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 22, 2022. The Company, as of the date of this filing, expects to file the Annual Report on Form 10-K within the fifteen-calendar day grace period, as provided by Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
