Item 2.03 — Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On September 16, 2012, United Parcel Service, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a binding agreement (the “Agreement”) with the New England Teamsters and Trucking Industry Pension Fund (the “Fund”) to restructure pension liabilities to the Fund, following ratification by local unions affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters of changes to contracts affected by this agreement. As previously announced, as a result of entering into the Agreement, in the current quarter, the Company will record a liability of $896 million, representing the present value of the Company's $2.1 billion withdrawal liability from an existing funding pool under the Fund, which it will pay in equal monthly installments over 50 years. The withdrawal from that funding pool was effective September 16, 2012. The Fund may declare this withdrawal liability immediately payable only if a scheduled payment by the Company is not timely made and not paid within sixty days of receiving written notice of the missed payment.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
