PROXY SUMMARY
This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this Proxy Statement. This summary does not contain all information you should consider. Please read the entire Proxy Statement carefully before voting.
The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of Jabil Inc., a Delaware corporation (references to “Jabil,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” mean Jabil Inc. together with its subsidiaries), for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Our Company Overview
Jabil is one of the leading providers of engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain solutions. We deliver comprehensive design, production, and product management services to companies across a diverse range of industries and end markets. Our capabilities span the entire product lifecycle—from innovation, design, and planning to fabrication, assembly, and delivery—enabling seamless management of resources and materials across global supply chains. Through these integrated services, we help our customers reduce manufacturing costs, enhance supply chain efficiency, minimize inventory risk, lower transportation expenses, and accelerate product fulfillment.
Our Fiscal Year
Jabil’s fiscal year begins on September 1 and ends on August 31. Our 2025 fiscal year began on September 1, 2024 and ended on August 31, 2025. Similarly, our 2026 fiscal year began on September 1, 2025 and will end on August 31, 2026.
Key Fiscal Year 2025 Performance Results
*A reconciliation for each of these measures can be found in Appendix A to this proxy statement.
Fiscal Year 2025 Dynamic Operating Environment
Despite a dynamic global operating environment, Jabil once again demonstrated resilience throughout fiscal year 2025. Some end markets experienced pressure, particularly in automotive and renewables, while strong AI related data center infrastructure demand supported continued momentum across the business. The company remained disciplined in managing its portfolio, aligning resources with areas that best position Jabil for sustainable growth. Fiscal 2025 underscored the strength of Jabil’s balanced business model, the benefits of diversification, and the consistency of our execution across varied market conditions.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Proxy Statement contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as “future,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “predicts,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “can,” “may,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and the Company’s actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Achievement of anticipated results is subject to substantial risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected. You should bear this in mind as you consider forward-looking statements, and you are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law or by the rules and regulations of the SEC. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading “Risk Factors.”

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Our Board of Directors believes that effective corporate governance creates the foundation that allows Jabil to pursue its mission. Corporate governance at Jabil is designed to promote the long-term interests of our stockholders, maintain internal checks and balances, strengthen management accountability, inspire public trust, and foster responsible decision making and accountability.
Board Leadership Structure
The Board of Directors does not have a policy on whether the same person should serve as both the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board or, if the roles are separate, whether the Chairman should be selected from the non-management directors. The Board believes that it should have the flexibility to make these determinations in the way that best provides appropriate leadership for Jabil. The Board has determined, however, that when the Chairman is not an independent director, there should also be a lead independent director who is appointed by the independent directors to serve for a period of at least one year. This position is currently held by Steven Raymund, who assumed the role of Lead Director in November 2021. Mr. Raymund’s knowledge of Jabil and its industry, combined with his extensive experience as a chief executive officer and chairman of a global business and his participation and leadership on other public company boards make him highly qualified to carry out the Lead Director role. After Chairman Mondello’s departure at the Annual Meeting, Mr. Raymund is expected to be appointed Chairman of the Board.
| Role of the Independent Lead Director
● Presides at meetings of the board at which the Chairman is not present, including executive sessions of the non-management directors
● Upon request, serves as liaison between the Chairman and the independent directors
● Approves the agenda and schedule for Board meetings
● If requested by management, is available for consultation and communication with major stockholders
● Authorized to call executive sessions of the independent directors |
Board of Directors Meetings during Fiscal Year 2025
The Board of Directors held a total of 14 meetings during fiscal year 2025. Each member, other than Messrs. Plant and Tyagarajan, of the Board attended or participated in more than 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the Board held during fiscal year 2025 and (ii) the total number of meetings held by each committee of the Board on which such director served during fiscal year 2025. Messrs. Plant and Tyagarajan attended less than 75% of the aggregate Board and committee meetings on which they each served during fiscal year 2025 due to coinciding professional responsibilities. The Chairman of the Board presided over all meetings of the Board.
Board Committees
The Board has four standing Committees: (1) Audit Committee, (2) Compensation Committee, (3) Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and (4) Cybersecurity Committee. All committees operate under written charters that are posted on our website under the heading Governance and then within the Governance Documents at https://investors.jabil.com/overview/default.aspx. Detailed information on each committee is below. All committee members meet the independence requirements of the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for service on such committees.

● Controls to prevent, detect and respond to cyber-attacks or information or data breaches involving Jabil; and

Executive Sessions
The independent directors of the Board meet at least once annually in executive session without management present. In fiscal year 2025, Mr. Raymund, our Lead Independent Director, presided at such meetings. See “How to Communicate with our Board” for the method for interested parties to make their concerns known to an independent director, or to the independent directors as a group.
Our Director Nominations Process
One of the responsibilities of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is to identify and recruit candidates to serve on the Board of Directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for providing a list of director nominees to the Board for election at each annual meeting of stockholders. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider nominees for Board membership suggested by its members and other Board members, as well as nominees identified by management and stockholders. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may, at its discretion, retain a third-party executive search firm to identify potential nominees. Jabil’s Chief Executive Officer is included, on a non-voting basis, in the process of identifying candidates. A prospective nominee will be evaluated against the characteristics and competencies set out in Jabil’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will take into account many factors in evaluating a prospective nominee, including, among other things, having integrity and being accountable, being able to exercise informed judgment, being financially literate, having mature confidence, having high performance standards, and bringing passion and creativity to their role, as well as contributing to the Board’s core competencies and the Board’s mix of backgrounds, experiences, skills, accomplishments, financial expertise, professional interests, personal qualities and other traits.
| Jabil Inc. 2026 Proxy Statement | 9 | |||
Table of Contents
Director Recommendations by Stockholders
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by stockholders and evaluate them using the same criteria as other candidates.
All stockholder director nominee recommendations must be in writing, addressed to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in care of Jabil’s Corporate Secretary at Jabil’s corporate headquarters, at 10800 Roosevelt Boulevard North, St. Petersburg, Florida 33716. Submissions must be made by mail, courier or personal delivery. E-mailed submissions will not be considered.
Director Selection
The Board of Directors and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consider a mix of qualities in the selection of nominees desirable in achieving an appropriate group of qualified individuals to advance our long-term business interests. The Board and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consider a nominee’s background, experience, skills, accomplishments, financial expertise, professional interests, personal qualities and other traits.
Determinations of Director Independence
The Board, with the assistance of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, periodically undertakes a review of director independence. For a director to be considered independent, the Board must determine that the director does not have a material relationship with Jabil and is otherwise independent under the listing standards of the NYSE. The Board considers all material relevant facts and circumstances known to it in making an independence determination, both from the standpoint of the director and from that of persons or organizations with which the director has an affiliation. As a result of this review, the Board determined that the following eight of our ten current directors are independent: Anousheh Ansari, Sujatha Chandrasekaran, Christopher S. Holland, John C. Plant, Steven A. Raymund, James Siminoff, N.V. “Tiger” Tyagarajan and Kathleen A. Walters. In addition, David M. Stout, who retired from the Board at the 2025 annual meeting, qualified as independent during his service on the Board. Messrs. Michael Dastoor and Mark Mondello are not considered to be independent. Mr. Mondello was Jabil’s Chief Executive Officer until May 1, 2023, and has continuing executive responsibilities related to acquisitions, divestitures and other strategic matters.
Annual Meeting of Stockholders Attendance Policy
Jabil’s Corporate Governance Guidelines require all directors to endeavor to attend all annual meetings of stockholders, absent unanticipated personal or professional obligations which preclude them from doing so. To facilitate such attendance, Jabil schedules a regular meeting of the Board of Directors on the same date as the annual meeting. All of Jabil’s then-serving directors attended the most recent Annual Meeting of Stockholders held in January 2025.
Director Stock Ownership Requirements
The Corporate Governance Guidelines require directors to accumulate, within five years of joining the Board, at least the number of shares of company stock having a value equal to such director’s most recent annual Board membership cash fee (not including any additional fees for Chair service), multiplied by five. The following forms of ownership are counted towards a director’s compliance with this requirement:
| ● | Shares deemed to be beneficially owned under federal securities laws; |
| ● | Shares subject to unvested time-based restricted stock unit awards; and |
| ● | Other forms of ownership approved by the Board or a committee thereof. |
If a director does not achieve the applicable stock ownership minimum by the applicable deadline or any time thereafter, the director will be required to retain at least half of the shares following restricted stock or restricted stock unit award vesting that remain after shares are sold or netted to pay any applicable taxes.

Risk Oversight
The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight
Jabil faces a variety of risks, including various operational, financial and other risks. The nature and effect of these risks vary in many ways, including our ability to anticipate and understand the risk, the types of negative impacts that could result if the risk manifests itself, the likelihood that an undesired event or a particular adverse impact would occur, and our ability to control the risk and reduce potential adverse impacts. While particular actions or activities can avoid or mitigate some risks, some risks are unavoidable as a practical matter. The Board takes the potential adverse impact of a risk into consideration when determining the appropriate amount of resources that should be allocated to avoid or mitigate the risk.
In some cases, a higher degree of risk may be acceptable because of a greater perceived potential for reward.
The Board oversees risk management directly and through its committees. Generally, the Board oversees risks that may affect the business of Jabil as a whole, including operational matters. The Audit Committee is responsible for oversight of Jabil’s accounting and financial reporting processes and also discusses with management Jabil’s financial statements, internal controls and other accounting and related matters. The Compensation Committee oversees certain risks related to compensation programs, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees certain corporate governance risks, and the Cybersecurity Committee focuses on cybersecurity risk. As part of their roles in overseeing risk management, these committees periodically report to the Board regarding briefings provided by management and advisors as well as the committees’ own analysis and conclusions regarding certain risks faced by Jabil. Management is responsible for implementing the risk management strategy and developing policies, controls, processes and procedures to identify and manage risks.
Business and operational risks are considered by the Board in many ways. The Board receives reports from management at least quarterly identifying and discussing various risks facing the Company and its operating segments and meets with members of the management team to discuss those risks at least quarterly. Our Chief Executive Officer communicates regularly with the Board on such matters. In addition, senior members of the Finance group, the Compliance group and the internal audit department periodically report to the Audit Committee on their evaluation of management’s effectiveness in addressing risks by providing a comprehensive review of certain business and related risks, an assessment and ranking of various identified risk items based on their likelihood and the severity of the consequences, including both financial and non-financial impacts, and plans to manage and mitigate such risks. Senior members of the Finance group, the Compliance group and the internal audit department also consult with third party sources and advisors regarding certain potential risks facing Jabil and incorporate the results of these consultations in their reports. Certain financial risks are identified and discussed during our quarterly and year-end processes. As part of this process, our management team receives input from a broad range of employees, including local and regional facility controllers, regarding financial results, compliance matters, and other matters.
Cybersecurity Risk
The Cybersecurity Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with regard to the Company’s cybersecurity programs and risks, including the cybersecurity practices, procedures and controls management uses to identify, assess and manage the Company’s key cybersecurity programs and risks, to protect the confidential intellectual property, information and data of the Company and its customers and to comply with applicable data protection laws and regulations. At each of its meetings, the Committee receives a report from management on cybersecurity incident management. Our Cyber Committee Chair, Ms. Ansari, received a Certificate in Cybersecurity Oversight from Carnegie Mellon University in 2025.

Table of Contents
Risks in Compensation Practices
Jabil regularly conducts risk assessments of its compensation policies and practices for its employees, including those relating to its executive compensation programs. Our programs contain various mitigating factors designed to discourage our employees, including the named executive officers (the “NEOs”), from taking unreasonable risks in managing the business. These factors include:
| • | Annual cash incentives and vesting for performance-based long-term awards using financial measures, which provide lower payments for lower performance and higher pay for higher performance but set maximum payouts at 200% of the target levels for cash incentives and 200% of the target levels for performance-based equity awards. |
| • | For most cash incentive participants, performance metrics focused primarily on the use of broad-based financial metrics, including a mixture of consolidated and business-specific goals, with no single factor receiving an excessive weighting. |
| • | A mix of time-based and performance-based equity awards for senior management to avoid having a relatively high percentage of compensation tied to one element. We believe that time-based equity awards should reduce risky behavior because these awards are designed to retain employees and are earned over time. |
| • | A balance of short-term and long-term compensation. |
| • | Challenging performance targets aligned with our board-approved strategic and operating plans. |
| • | Performance measurement periods that encourage long-term, rather than short-term, performance. |
| • | Minimum stock ownership requirements for our executive officers and directors to align them with the long-term interests of our stockholders. |
| • | Oversight of compensation programs by multiple functions within Jabil (e.g., Legal, HR, Finance, etc.). |
| • | Advice from outside advisors who are knowledgeable regarding various compensation policies and practices and their associated risks. |
| • | A clawback policy that allows us to recover incentive-based compensation paid to executive officers in the event we restate financial statements due to material non-compliance with financial reporting requirements. |
| • | Inclusion of provisions in our equity award agreements allowing award value to be clawed back in certain circumstances, including upon a substantial violation of our Code of Conduct. |
| • | A cash severance policy that provides that we will not enter into any new employment agreement, severance agreement, or separation agreement with any executive officer, or establish any new severance plan or policy covering any executive officer, that provides for certain cash severance benefits exceeding 2.99 times the sum of the executive officer’s base salary plus target bonus, unless we seek stockholder ratification. |
Based upon these assessments, we believe that our compensation policies and practices do not encourage excessive or unreasonable risk taking and are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Jabil.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
Jabil’s Compensation Committee is currently composed of Messrs. Raymund and Tyagarajan and its Chair is Ms. Walters. Upon Ms. Walters’ departure from the Board following the Annual Meeting, it is anticipated that Ms. Chandrasekaran will join the Compensation Committee and Mr. Tyagarajan will become Chair. No member of the Compensation Committee is currently or was formerly an officer or an employee of Jabil or its subsidiaries. There are no compensation committee interlocks and no insider participation in compensation decisions that are required to be reported under the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Related Party Transactions
Related Party Transactions Policy
Our Board of Directors has adopted a written policy governing the approval of related party transactions. “Related Party Transactions” are transactions in which Jabil is a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and a “Related Party” had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. “Related Parties” are Jabil’s directors (including any nominees for election as directors), its executive officers, any stockholder who beneficially owns more than 5% of Jabil’s outstanding common stock, any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons and any firm, corporation, charitable organization or other entity in which any of the persons listed above is an officer, general partner or principal or in a similar position or in which the person has a beneficial ownership interest of 10% or more. Under the Related Party Transactions Policy, Jabil’s General Counsel (or its Chief Executive Officer if the related party is the General Counsel or an immediate family member of the General Counsel) will review potential Related Party Transactions to determine if they are subject to the Policy. If so, the transaction will be referred to the Audit Committee for approval or ratification. If, however, the General Counsel determines that it is not practical to wait until the next Audit Committee meeting, the Audit Committee Chair shall have the authority to act on behalf of the Audit Committee in approving or ratifying a Related Party Transaction (unless the Audit Committee Chair is a Related Party in the Related Party Transaction). In determining whether to approve a Related Party Transaction, the Audit Committee (or, as applicable, the Audit Committee Chair) will consider, among other things, the benefits of the transaction to Jabil, the potential effect of entering into the transaction on a director’s independence, the availability of other sources for the products or services, the terms of the transaction and the terms available to unrelated third parties generally. Any member of the Audit Committee who has an interest in the transaction under discussion will abstain from voting on the approval of the Related Party Transaction. The Audit Committee has authority to administer the Related Party Transactions Policy and to amend it as appropriate.
To the extent our directors or their immediate family members are affiliated with third party companies, Jabil also evaluates business transactions with those companies. Such transactions are deemed immaterial and not related party transactions to the extent (i) they are made in the ordinary course of business, (ii) they are arms-length, (iii) aggregate sales for the fiscal year to or from the director-affiliated company do not exceed the greater of $1 million or 2% of the affiliated company’s annual revenues and (iv) they do not otherwise result in a material interest for the related party.
Certain Related Party Transactions
In April 2025, director James Siminoff returned to Amazon.com, Inc. (“Amazon”) as Vice President of Product, overseeing the home security business, among other things. During fiscal year 2025, Jabil provided manufacturing services to Amazon’s home security business with related revenues of less than $20 million. These related party transactions were made in the ordinary course of business prior to Mr. Siminoff’s return to Amazon and were not material.
Additionally, one current executive officer has an immediate family member employed by Jabil whose compensation for fiscal year 2025 exceeded $120,000.
| • | Bradley McCoy, brother of Frederic McCoy, who is an executive officer of Jabil, is a Business Unit Director whose total compensation for fiscal year 2025 was $296,515. |

There are no family relationships among any of the directors and executive officers of Jabil.
There are no arrangements or understandings between any of the persons nominated to be a director and any other persons pursuant to which any of such nominees was selected. A majority of the director nominees are “independent” as defined in the applicable listing standards of the NYSE.

Non-Management Director Compensation
The Board has determined that compensation for non-management directors should be comprised of a mix of cash and equity. We annually compare our director compensation to the compensation paid by the peer group described below in “NEO Total Direct Compensation Mix - Competitive Benchmarking.” Based on this comparison, our fiscal year 2025 director compensation was at the 44th percentile in the aggregate of the comparator group.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, on the recommendation of the Company’s compensation consultant, eliminated committee member fees beginning in January 2025. In lieu of committee member fees, each directors’ annual board retainer increased from $85,000 to $110,000. Committee chair fees remained the same.

Directors do not receive Board or Committee meeting fees but are reimbursed for expenses incurred in attending Board and committee meetings. In addition to the cash compensation described above, non-management directors annually receive an equity award under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”). For fiscal year 2025, the non-management directors received time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) valued at $215,000, or 1,300 RSUs (except for Ms. Chandrasekaran) based on Jabil’s closing price on the date of grant rounded to the nearest 100 shares. Ms. Chandrasekaran was appointed to the Board in April 2025 and received a pro rata grant of time-based RSUs valued at $164,932, or 700 RSUs based on Jabil’s closing price on the date of grant rounded to the nearest 100 shares. The RSUs vest on January 23, 2026. The following table summarizes the compensation of our non-management directors for fiscal year 2025. Each of Messrs.

Mr. Stout did not receive an award because he did not stand for re-election. For Ms. Chandrasekaran, who was appointed to the Board of Jabil in April 2025, the amount was determined by multiplying the number of RSUs awarded (700) by the closing stock price on the grant date, July 17, 2025 ($222.23).For each director this amount is the aggregate amount of expense that has been or will be recognized by us for financial statement reporting purposes in accordance with ASC 718 over the requisite service period of the award granted.

AUDIT COMMITTEE MATTERS
The Audit Committee of the Board serves to assist the Board in fulfilling the oversight responsibilities it has with respect to the integrity of the Company’s financial statements, the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the qualifications and independence of the Company’s independent auditor, and the performance of the Company’s independent auditor and the Company’s internal audit function.
The Audit Committee is composed solely of independent directors, as defined in the listing standards of the NYSE, as well as other statutory, regulatory and other requirements applicable to Jabil.
The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board, a copy of which is available in the Investor Relations section of Jabil’s website (www.jabil.com). The Audit Committee annually reviews and assesses the adequacy of its charter in order to help ensure timely compliance with statutory, regulatory, listing and other requirements applicable to Jabil.
Jabil’s management has primary responsibility for the preparation, presentation and integrity of Jabil’s financial statements and its financial reporting process, including internal control over financial reporting. Jabil’s independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Jabil’s internal control over financial reporting and conformity of Jabil’s financial statements with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee members are not professional accountants or auditors and their functions are not intended to duplicate or to certify the activities of management or the independent registered public accounting firm.
The Audit Committee has the authority and responsibility to select, evaluate and, when appropriate, replace the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee also has periodic discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm with regard to the quality and adequacy of Jabil’s internal controls. Management’s and the independent registered public accounting firm’s presentations to, and discussions with, the Audit Committee also cover various topics and events that may have significant financial impacts.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
For fiscal year 2025, Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) has acted as Jabil’s independent registered public accounting firm. In this context, the Audit Committee reports as follows:
(1) The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with Jabil’s management and EY. (2) The Audit Committee has discussed with EY the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC. (3) The Audit Committee has received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from EY required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with EY its independence from Jabil. (4) Based on the review and discussions referred to in paragraphs (1) through (3) above, the Audit Committee recommended to Jabil’s Board, and the Board has approved, that the audited financial statements be included in Jabil’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025, for filing with the SEC.

The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit, audit-related and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the auditor’s independence. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. Management is required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. During fiscal year 2025, all services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with this policy.
PROPOSAL NO. 2
Ratification of Appointment of
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
In October 2025, the Audit Committee approved the selection of Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) to serve as Jabil’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2026. EY has served as Jabil’s independent registered public accounting firm since 2010. The Audit Committee reviews the performance of the independent registered public accounting firm annually.
Representatives of EY are expected to be present during the Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement and will be available to respond to questions.
Accordingly, we ask our stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:
“RESOLVED, that the appointment of EY to serve as Jabil’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2026, is hereby APPROVED.”
|
|
The Board recommends a vote “FOR” this proposal. |
Although stockholder approval is not required, we are submitting this proposal as a matter of good governance. If the stockholders do not ratify the selection of EY, the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm will be reconsidered by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Executive Summary
Jabil’s 2025 fiscal year began September 1, 2024 and ended August 31, 2025. Despite a dynamic global operating environment, Jabil once again demonstrated resilience throughout fiscal year 2025. Some end markets experienced pressure, particularly in automotive and renewables, while strong AI related data center infrastructure demand supported continued momentum across the business. The Company remained disciplined in managing its portfolio, aligning resources with areas that best position Jabil for sustainable growth. Fiscal 2025 underscored the strength of Jabil’s balanced business model, the benefits of diversification, and the consistency of our execution across varied market conditions.
Jabil’s compensation program is intended to be competitive with the market practices of its peer group and other competitors for talent. It reflects our pay for performance philosophy by placing a significant majority of our NEO compensation “at risk” in the form of variable pay elements tied to financial performance goals and to Jabil’s stock price. Each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee views all of the compensation elements together, including historical achievement levels, to balance both long-term and short-term objectives and to motivate each NEO to attain those objectives. We typically rely heavily on equity-based awards to accomplish this balance, as we believe such awards create a strong alignment with the achievement of stockholder value over the long term.
In fiscal year 2025, we established threshold and target levels of corporate core operating income, corporate core operating income margin and corporate free cash flow that applied to annual cash incentives and established certain earnings per share growth targets over a three-year performance period required for performance-based equity awards to vest. We also granted equity awards that vest based on total stockholder return relative to the S&P Composite1500 Technology Hardware and Equipment Index for a three-year performance period. The Compensation Committee believes these performance measures correlate highly to long-term shareholder value creation.
The Compensation Committee set performance goals that we believed were challenging, yet attainable, to achieve target performance, and set difficult performance goals to achieve maximum performance, under both our short-term and long-term incentive programs.

Executive Compensation Guiding Principles, Philosophy & Rationale
The Compensation Committee believes that executive compensation opportunities should align with and enhance long-term stockholder value. We believe that this core philosophy is embedded in all aspects of our executive compensation program and is reflected in an important set of guiding principles, described below. The Compensation Committee reviews the compensation philosophy annually. We believe that the application of these principles enables us to create a meaningful link between compensation outcomes and long-term, sustainable growth for our stockholders.
| Guiding Principles |
Elements of Compensation |
Philosophy and Rationale | ||
| Pay for Performance |
A substantial majority of pay is variable, contingent and directly linked to Company financial and stock price performance. | An effective way to reach our short- and long-term financial and strategic objectives is to make a majority of an executive’s overall target compensation dependent on the achievement of such objectives and stock price performance. • We believe the portion of an executive’s total compensation that varies with performance and the particular financial and operational incentive metrics should be a function of the executive’s responsibilities and ability to drive and influence results. • As an executive’s responsibility and influence increase, so should the level of performance-based, at-risk compensation relative to the executive’s base salary.
The program should be competitive and fair with regard to all aspects of how executives are treated and represent a joint commitment on the part of the Executive and Company.
Compensation paid should reflect the Board’s fair assessment of performance and be subject to recoupment in the event such amounts were paid in error or fraud.
Compensation paid should consider the quality of individual contributions to the success of the organization.
The program should be transparent and simple to communicate, both internally and externally. | ||
| Alignment with Stockholders’ Interests |
We believe that the financial interests of executives are aligned with the long-term interests of our stockholders through stock-based compensation and performance metrics that we believe correlate with long-term stockholder value. | We seek to provide an appropriate link between compensation and the creation of long-term stockholder value. We believe executives’ interests are more directly aligned with the interests of our stockholders when the compensation program: • emphasizes long-term financial performance, business objectives and the strategic focus of our businesses; • is significantly impacted by the value of our stock; and • results in a continuing significant ownership of our stock.
Stock ownership guidelines seek to ensure alignment with our stockholder’s interests by balancing the achievement of annual financial and operational goals with a strong focus on creating long-term stockholder value. | ||
| Long-term focus |
We use metrics in both our short-term and long-term incentive program that we believe are aligned with our long-term strategic goals. | For our most senior executives, long-term stock-based compensation opportunities will significantly outweigh short-term cash-based opportunities. Annual objectives should complement sustainable long-term performance. Incentive plan goal-setting should be linked to Board-approved long-term strategic plans. | ||
| Jabil Inc. 2026 Proxy Statement | 27 | |||
Table of Contents
| Competitiveness |
Total compensation should be sufficient to attract, retain and incentivize the leadership team. Each element should be benchmarked relative to peers and the broader marketplace for executive talent. | To attract highly qualified executives, motivate executives to perform at their highest levels and retain executives with the leadership abilities and skills necessary to drive and build long-term stockholder value, compensation must be competitive and reflect the value of each executive’s position in the market and within Jabil. • Compensation opportunities should be established based on the marketplace in which we compete for talent, with consideration given to skills and geography. • To help ensure our compensation is appropriately competitive, target direct compensation should generally align with market median practices.
While target total compensation should be competitive, performance that exceeds target should be appropriately rewarded.
Individual pay opportunities may fall above or below target opportunities based upon individual performance, experience and retention risk.
| ||
| Balance |
The elements of compensation are balanced to motivate each NEO to achieve both long-term and short-term objectives. We rely more heavily on equity-based awards, as we believe this element has the strongest alignment to the achievement of stockholder value over the long term. | Elements of compensation should be balanced and reflect a performance-based orientation focused on the achievement of short-term milestones in support of long-term stockholder value creation.
Our compensation program is designed to be challenging but fair. Executives should have the opportunity to earn market competitive pay for delivering expected results. As results exceed expectations (both internal and external), pay levels may increase above market median levels. If performance falls below expected levels, actual pay may fall below market median levels.
We believe our approach to compensation should discourage adverse or excessive risk taking.
All aspects of the program should be consistent with sound corporate governance.

Elements of the Executive Compensation Program
The Compensation Committee believes that the elements of the executive compensation program further our guiding principles. The following table summarizes the major elements of Jabil’s executive compensation program and the purposes and values in using these elements:
| Element | Purposes and Values | |
| Salaries |
• Provide a minimum fixed amount of compensation.
• Reflect an officer’s experience, scope of responsibility, impact upon the organization and role in developing and implementing overall business strategy.
• Recognize individual performance.
• Reviewed annually and compared with salaries of comparable executives within the Company and in the peer group and compensation surveys. | |
| Short-term Incentives |
• Communicate strategic priorities and identify key financial and business objectives.
• Motivate achievement of short-term objectives, as well as long-term objectives by using largely consistent metrics year over year.
• 100% at-risk, with financial thresholds that must be achieved to receive any payout.
• Target bonus opportunities (as a percentage of salary) are compared with those of comparable executives within the Company and in the peer group and compensation surveys.
• Result in achievement that is variable, measured against a mix of multiple defined targets, with payouts ranging from 0% (below threshold performance) to a maximum of 200% of target payout.
• Align chosen financial and other measures to an individual’s scope of influence.
| |
| Long-term Incentives |
• Motivate attainment of long-term financial goals and incentivize managerial action intended to increase long-term stock price appreciation and total stockholder return.
• Align executive’s interests with those of our stockholders, particularly when combined with our executive stock ownership requirements.
• Provide that a substantial percentage of compensation is at-risk with metrics tied to financial performance.
• Promote retention with vesting schedules that span several years.
• The grant-date value of long-term incentives is influenced by market data of comparable executives in the peer group and compensation surveys. | |

NEO Total Direct Compensation Mix
The following chart illustrates the fiscal year 2025 target compensation for the NEOs by element of compensation as a percentage of the NEOs’ target total direct compensation (that is, salary plus the target value of the short-term cash and long-term incentives).
This chart assists in demonstrating our compensation philosophy that a significant majority of each NEO’s compensation be at-risk, tied to performance (both short-term and long-term) and mostly composed of equity. It reflects the mix of salary, cash and equity-based incentives at the target levels for fiscal year 2025. “Annual Salary” is the annual salary earned for each NEO for fiscal year 2025 and “Target Cash Annual Incentive” means the target award opportunity under the annual incentive program for fiscal year 2025. The amounts shown for “Performance- Based Equity,” and “Time-Based Equity” reflect the grant date fair values at target for fiscal year 2025.
For each of the NEOs above, the performance-based equity and the target cash annual incentive are variable, “at-risk” elements of compensation and the time-based equity is a variable element of compensation. The charts below indicate the average percentage of variable and/or at-risk compensation for both CEOs who served during fiscal year 2025 and our NEOs.

The Executive Compensation Process
Jabil’s executive compensation program is administered and overseen by the Compensation Committee with assistance from management and a compensation consultant selected and retained by the Compensation Committee. Generally, compensation amounts, metrics and vesting criteria are determined by analyzing, among other things, compensation data and pay practices from Jabil’s peer group and broader compensation survey information, financial and strategic goals, and historical compensation data. In addition, the Compensation Committee considers legal, accounting and tax advice and reviews ratings information from proxy advisory services. Typically, annual salaries, cash short-term incentive payout targets, metrics, goals and weightings, and long-term incentive awards and performance goals for each fiscal year are set and awarded following the end of the previous fiscal year when data regarding the previous fiscal year’s performance is available. If a NEO’s role changes or an officer is promoted, compensation elements may be adjusted later in the fiscal year.
Role of Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee sets policies and gives direction to management on all material aspects of the executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee Charter, posted on our website at www.jabil.com, in the Investors-Governance section, sets forth the Compensation Committee’s responsibilities. The Compensation Committee makes compensation decisions for the NEOs for each of the compensation elements, establishes the short- and long-term financial metrics, weighting and targets and grants long-term incentive awards. In making these decisions, the Compensation Committee reviews: (i) the Chief Executive Officer’s recommended amounts for each element of pay, and recommended performance metrics and targets for our incentive compensation programs; (ii) data and advice provided by the compensation consultant, including peer group and compensation survey data; (iii) the compensation history of each executive; (iv) the financial performance of Jabil’s operating divisions; and/or (v) guidelines established by institutional investors and proxy advisory firms. The Compensation Committee may form and delegate authority to subcommittees when appropriate.
Role of Management
Our Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding base salary levels, target annual incentive award levels and long-term incentives for the other executive officers. These recommendations are based upon his assessment of individual performance, contribution, time in position and the market competitiveness of each individual’s total compensation. The Chief Executive Officer, in conjunction with other members of senior management (the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President, Human Resources), makes recommendations regarding the design of the Company’s compensation programs including performance measures, weightings and long-term incentive structure. This collective recommendation is based upon: (i) an annual performance review process, including assessment of the achievement of established financial and strategic business objectives and other accomplishments; (ii) Jabil’s annual operating and strategic plans, targeted earnings and overall and group financial performance; (iii) market data for relevant companies, which includes peer group data and broader compensation survey data; and (iv) guidelines established by institutional investors and proxy advisory firms.
Role of Compensation Consultant
The Compensation Committee has the sole authority to hire and to dismiss its compensation consultant. Reports and advice from the consultant may be requested by the Compensation Committee and are shared with the Board and management at the Compensation Committee’s discretion. During fiscal year 2025, the independent compensation consultant to the Compensation Committee was Pay Governance. The services performed by the compensation consultant included attending Compensation Committee meetings, reviewing and advising on the peer group selection, advising on design and implementation of incentive and equity plans, advising on prevailing equity grant practices, providing data regarding prevalent compensation practices and levels of pay, advising on the design of the director compensation program and providing data on prevailing practices and levels of pay for directors, reviewing and commenting on the compensation philosophy, and providing updates on regulatory and

Table of Contents
legislative changes impacting executive compensation. The compensation consultant has access to management and interacts with management to gather compensation and performance information regarding Jabil, and to discuss potential compensation program designs. The Compensation Committee considers Pay Governance to be independent because Pay Governance did not perform services for Jabil’s management unrelated to services performed for the Compensation Committee. In fiscal year 2025, the Compensation Committee reviewed and analyzed a number of factors, including those specified by SEC rules, and concluded that Pay Governance was independent and there was no conflict of interest raised as a result of any work performed by Pay Governance, directly or indirectly, for the Compensation Committee during fiscal year 2025.
Competitive Benchmarking
The Compensation Committee annually reviews compensation data and pay practices from both Jabil’s peer group and broader compensation survey data as part of its decision-making process. While the Compensation Committee reviews compensation data with a view to confirming that a given executive’s compensation is competitive, it retains discretion in setting an executive’s compensation. As a result, compensation for an executive may differ materially from the peer group or survey data and is influenced by factors including past performance, experience, position, tenure, individual and organizational factors, retention needs and other factors. The Compensation Committee has adopted a target total cash compensation philosophy of setting opportunities such that NEO target total cash compensation (including annual salary and targeted short-term cash incentive payout) approximates the market median of the companies in the peer group and survey data if target performance is achieved. The Compensation Committee does not consider actual performance of the peer group companies when setting NEO compensation. Rather, it compares NEO total cash compensation payout opportunities at the target performance level to the target payout opportunities of comparable NEO positions at peer group companies. However, actual total cash compensation may range from below-the-market 25th percentile at the low end to at or above-the-market 75th percentile at the high end depending on the actual level of financial performance achieved relative to pre-established goals. Long-term incentive awards granted to executives consider market data, financial performance, individual performance and potential and aggregate share usage. The Compensation Committee also considers benchmarking information regarding competitive levels of total direct compensation (the sum of target total cash and long-term incentives) to provide context for its decisions on long-term incentive awards.
The Compensation Committee periodically evaluates and selects companies to include in the peer group it uses to assess the competitiveness of the NEO compensation program. With guidance from the compensation consultant and input and discussion with management, the Compensation Committee considers whether the mix of companies in the peer group produces valid information for assessing the market value of our executive positions. We intend that the peer group cumulatively has the following attributes: business operations in the industries and end markets in which we participate; global operations; similar annual revenue or market capitalization; complexity of scope; or competitive with Jabil for executive talent. The Compensation Committee reviewed the current peer group and determined that it was appropriate in fiscal year 2025. The peer group used to set fiscal year 2025 NEO target compensation consists of the companies set forth below. No changes were made in the peer group for fiscal year 2025.

Table of Contents
Setting of Salaries and Annual Cash Incentive Compensation
The Compensation Committee typically makes its decisions related to salaries and annual cash incentive targets at the start of each fiscal year. This timing allows the Compensation Committee to take into account Jabil’s financial results in the prior fiscal year and the plans and expectations for the current fiscal year when establishing such salaries and targets. If a NEO’s role changes or an officer is promoted, compensation elements may be adjusted later in the fiscal year.
Long-Term Incentive Compensation Award Practices
Long-term incentive awards are typically granted to our executives at the start of each fiscal year following the completion and release of financial results for the preceding fiscal year, so that relevant information is available to the Compensation Committee and the market price of our common stock reflects this information. The dates for the meetings at which such grants are made are set well in advance of such meetings. The Compensation Committee may also make grants of long-term incentive awards at other times during the year due to special circumstances, which include a change in an officer role, the hiring or promotion of an officer, an acquisition or to align compensation with new strategic goals. We do not seek to time long-term incentive awards to take advantage of information, either positive or negative, about Jabil which has not been publicly disclosed.
In deciding the type and value of equity compensation to grant, the Compensation Committee typically takes into account a variety of considerations, such as Jabil’s financial performance, the need to retain experienced and talented employees to execute the strategies of the business, the accounting and tax impacts of the grant, the dilutive effect to the stockholders, the incentive opportunity Jabil desires to provide to the NEOs, the executive’s role and responsibilities, individual performance, internal equity and the historical level of actual compensation realized as compared to the value targeted. Additionally, the Compensation Committee utilizes peer group and compensation survey data to provide context for its determinations of these grants.
A majority of equity incentive awards granted to our NEOs are performance-based, with vesting conditioned on Jabil’s EPS or the Relative TSR metric, each measured over a three-year performance period. These metrics are described in detail under “NEO Long-Term Incentives”.
Time-based RSU awards are also granted to the NEOs. We believe that time-based RSU awards with service-based vesting over multiple years provides the recipient with the potential for long-term value directly aligned with the stock price and requires long-term service. We believe that time-based RSUs align with our guiding principle of creating a compensation package that is competitive, promotes retention, focuses on financial performance and balances the at-risk elements.
Other Compensation Policies and Considerations
In general, the Company offers limited additional compensation components to our NEOs, reflecting our cost-sensitive philosophy.
In April 2025, pursuant to the Company’s aircraft policy, which is intended to support business efficiency, executive security, and oversight of travel-related compensation, the Compensation Committee approved limited personal use of the Company’s aircraft for the CEO and Executive Chairman, limited to 25 and 15 hours per year, respectively. Such personal use is disclosed in the Fiscal Year 2025 Summary Compensation Table and the related notes.
In addition, in fiscal year 2025, we incurred tax gross-up and tax preparation service fees for Mr. Hebard that are a one-time compensation related to his expatriate assignment in FY23, which has ended, and are not reflective of “ordinary” cash compensation. For all other NEOs, the value of the other benefits comprising “All Other Compensation” was minimal, as disclosed in detail in the Fiscal Year 2025 Summary Compensation Table and the related notes.
All of the programs we offer, with the exception of the personal use of the aircraft, tax preparation services and executive physical program, are also offered to a broad-based group of our employees.

Table of Contents
Retirement and Pension Plan, Death and Disability
Our 401(k) Retirement Plan (“401(k) Plan”) includes a Company matching contribution. Eligible officers who retire receive additional time for vesting and settlement of certain equity and equity-based grants. Awards vest according to the provisions within the equity award agreements. Eligibility is determined based upon the age and/or years of service of the particular officer. The Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, award a bonus for the year of retirement and also may, in its discretion, pro rate this bonus for service through the date of retirement. Unvested time-based RSUs fully vest upon termination due to death or disability. In the event of death, a pro rata portion of unvested performance-based RSUs may vest, and in the event of a termination due to disability, a pro rata portion of unvested performance-based RSUs may remain outstanding and eligible for future vesting based on the actual level of achievement of the performance goals.
Severance and Termination
Upon termination, NEOs receive the pro rata portion of salary earned to the date of termination. Unvested RSUs are forfeited upon termination of employment unless there is a change in control or, for certain awards, the NEO is retirement-eligible, dies or becomes disabled. Under the Company’s severance pay guidelines, updated in 2025, executives, including NEOs, who are terminated without cause may receive severance, which benefits the Company by allowing it to obtain agreements from departing employees, including, but not limited to, agreements not to compete with Jabil for specified periods of time. If awarded, severance would generally include a multiple of base salary and target annual incentive, depending on the employee’s employment level, subject to the limits of our Cash Severance Policy, described below under “Cash Severance Policy for Executive Officers.”
Cash Severance Policy for Executive Officers
In October 2024, we adopted a cash severance policy (Severance Policy), which provides that we will not enter into any new employment agreement, severance agreement, or separation agreement with any executive officer, or establish any new severance plan or policy covering any executive officer, in each case that provides for “cash severance benefits” (as defined in the Severance Policy) exceeding 2.99 times the sum of the executive officer’s base salary plus target bonus, unless we seek stockholder ratification of such agreement, plan, or policy.
Change in Control Arrangements
Awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan may vest under certain circumstances in connection with a change in control. In addition, any shares of Jabil stock that may be deferred and that continue to be reserved under the non-qualified deferred compensation program are distributed upon a change in control.
In the event of a change in control, any award outstanding under the Equity Incentive Plan will become fully vested on the earlier of (i) the applicable vesting date under the original vesting schedule, (ii) the first anniversary of the date of the change in control if the grantee has remained as an employee, consultant or non-employee director, or (iii) the date the grantee is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason. However, an award will not fully vest due to a change in control if the grantee is terminated for cause or resigns without good reason prior to the first anniversary of the date of such change in control.
With respect to the Equity Incentive Plan, the above discussion assumes that the outstanding awards are continued, assumed or replaced in connection with the change in control by the surviving or successor entity or its parent. If the awards are not continued, assumed or replaced, then the awards will be immediately fully vested on the change in control or, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, such awards may be terminated and cashed out. In addition, under the Equity Incentive Plan, for purposes of these accelerated vesting provisions, any performance objectives for any performance measurement period that is in process at the time of the change in control are deemed to have been achieved at the greater of target or the level actually achieved through the change in control (with similar performance assumed achieved through the remainder of the performance period).

Table of Contents
A summary of potential payments upon termination or a change in control for NEOs is set forth in “Potential Payments upon Termination or a Change in Control.”
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
U.S. executives may participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation program to voluntarily elect to defer up to 75% of salary and up to 100% of annual cash bonus. Participant deferrals are credited by book entry to the participant’s deferral contribution account. Jabil does not make, and is not required to make, any matching contributions to this program. Jabil may, however, decide to make discretionary contributions to the program to restore any 401(k) match a participant lost due to participation in this program. Executives meeting certain criteria may also voluntarily defer receipt of compensation upon vesting of RSUs.
Deferral accounts under the plan are paid out upon the participant’s termination of employment, death, or disability, or upon a determination by Jabil that a participant has suffered a financial hardship, or, if timely elected by the participant, during April of any year designated by the participant beginning with the fourth calendar year after a participant’s initial deferral election with respect to a particular deferral account. More information is shown in the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation in Fiscal Year 2025 table.
Clawback of Executive Compensation
On October 19, 2023, Jabil adopted an updated clawback policy to comply with NYSE listing standards implementing Exchange Act Rule 10D-1 that requires recovery of certain incentive-based compensation (including equity awards) paid to our executive officers in the event we are required to restate financial statements due to material non-compliance with financial reporting requirements under the federal securities laws. In addition, our equity award agreements contain provisions that permit Jabil to recoup the awards if the recipient breaches certain covenants or obligations under the agreement, including confidentiality and noncompetition covenants, or upon substantial violation of our Code of Conduct.
Executive Stock Ownership Requirements
Jabil has minimum stock ownership requirements for Jabil’s executive officers. The executive officers are expected to own a minimum dollar value of shares equal to a multiple of their respective base salaries, as follows:
| Categories | Multiple of Salary | |||
| Chief Executive Officer |
6x | |||
| Chief Financial Officer |
3x | |||
| Executive Vice Presidents |
3x | |||
Shares to be counted toward these requirements include shares deemed to be beneficially owned under federal securities laws (excluding shares under vested SARs) and unvested time-based restricted stock and RSUs. Unvested performance-based RSUs are not counted when determining whether these requirements have been satisfied. The stock ownership requirements are expected to be met within five years of becoming an executive officer. During the five-year period, executive officers generally are required to retain 50% of after-tax shares issued in settlement of equity awards until ownership requirements have been met. If requirements have not been met during the period, or if an executive officer falls below the ownership requirements after the five-year period, then 100% of after-tax shares issued in settlement of equity awards generally are to be retained until requirements are met. Stock ownership is reviewed by the Compensation Committee at each January annual meeting of stockholders, and the calculation for ownership value is the number of shares owned by the executive on the first trading day of January multiplied by Jabil’s average stock price for the preceding two months. All NEOs are currently in compliance with the stock ownership requirements.
Accounting for Share-Based Compensation
Before we grant share-based compensation awards, or modify previously granted awards, we consider the accounting impact of the proposed award or modification.

Selection and Weighting of Performance Measures
Each year, the Compensation Committee selects the metrics to be used to measure NEO performance from those authorized in the Short-Term Incentive Plan as well as establishing the weighting of the metrics for each NEO’s short-term incentive award.
In order to reward an executive’s ability to drive CANCOI while also increasing margin, the pertinent CANCOI measure was applied in a matrix together with the applicable core operating income margin, with CANCOI on the Y axis and operating income margin on the X axis. The percentage of annual incentive earned increased as CANCOI and operating income margin increased. CANCOI was selected because it is a key corporate metric that takes into account both revenue and expense.
The cash flow metric is intended to reward executives for producing consistent, repeatable free cash flow results.
For all NEOs, the CANCOI and Core Operating Income Margin Matrix and the Corporate Free Cash Flow metric were equally weighted.
Setting Performance Metrics
The Compensation Committee set the metrics and related performance levels for fiscal year 2025 early in the fiscal year. When setting target metrics for a given year, the Company considers prior year performance, prevailing macro-economic conditions, and assumed market demand and uses these as benchmarks to establish appropriate goals.
The following tables show the goals established by the Compensation Committee. Performance below target results in diminishing payout and maximum payout is capped at 200%. To simplify the presentation, certain intermediate performance levels are not shown; however, payouts were determined by linear interpolation when financial performance occurred between data points in the performance/payout schedules. For the purposes of the CANCOI/Core Operating Margin matrices, payout was determined based on the performance on both measures.

NEO Long-Term Incentives
Actual Performance Results for Prior Long-Term Incentive Awards
In fiscal year 2023, Jabil granted two kinds of long-term, performance-based incentive awards that had performance measurement periods ending on August 31, 2025, one subject to EPS performance goals and one subject to total stockholder return goals. The specific category of performance goals for these long-term awards were previously disclosed by Jabil in its proxy statement covering the fiscal year in which the grant was made.
The following summarizes the quantitative performance goals and the actual outcome for the PBRSUs:

Definitions for Long-Term Incentive Metrics Granted in Fiscal Year 2025
The following definitions apply to the long-term, performance-based incentive compensation awards made during fiscal year 2025:
| • | Cumulative core earnings per share (Non-GAAP) (“EPS”) is the sum of the Company’s adjusted core earnings per share (Non-GAAP) during the three-year performance period beginning September 1, 2024 and ending on August 31, 2027. |
| • | Adjusted core earnings per share (Non-GAAP) is the Company’s U.S. GAAP net income adjusted to exclude the following: (1) amortization of intangible assets, (2) stock-based compensation expense and related charges, (3) goodwill impairment charges, net of any tax related implications, (4) the cumulative effect of changes in GAAP and/or tax laws and regulations not previously contemplated in the Company’s EPS target and (5) any other unusual or nonrecurring gains or losses which are separately identified and quantified, including the acquisition and integration costs associated with Project Dayton and charges associated with the previously approved Board restructuring plans, divided by the weighted average number of outstanding shares determined in accordance with GAAP. |
| • | Relative Total Stockholder Return (“Relative TSR”) is the percentage rate of return from the beginning stock price (as defined below) to the closing stock price (as defined below) of Jabil’s common stock and the common stock of each relevant company in the S&P Composite 1500 Technology Hardware and Equipment Index, as applicable, assuming reinvestment of all dividends and other distributions paid during the performance period. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the beginning stock price means the average stock price for the 90-day period ending 60 days after the |
| Jabil Inc. 2026 Proxy Statement | 38 | |||

| first day of the performance period. The closing stock price means the average stock price for the 90-day period ending 30 days after the last day of the performance period. |
FY25 Grants
For fiscal year 2025, the Compensation Committee granted the NEOs performance-based RSU awards and time-based RSU awards as part of the annual compensation program, with the potential to achieve the most value placed on the performance-based grant. Sixty-six percent of each NEO’s awards were performance-based while the remaining 33% were time-based. In addition, Mr. Borges received an additional time-based RSU award for retention purposes.
The Compensation Committee granted RSUs with accumulated dividend equivalents, which allow for a cash payment upon vesting of the same amount that would have been paid in dividends during the vesting period (without interest).
Performance-Based Equity Awards
These awards are at-risk and variable. Each NEO received an award of RSUs with vesting based on the achievement of EPS during the three-year performance period starting in fiscal year 2025. In addition, each NEO received an award of RSUs with vesting based on the achievement of Relative TSR during the three-year performance period starting in fiscal year 2025. The Compensation Committee believes that measuring performance against a multi-year measurement of EPS aligns the NEOs’ compensation with stockholders’ interests over a longer-term horizon, further enhanced by granting an additional award measuring performance against a multi-year measurement based on Relative TSR.
The awards contain a threshold performance level that must be achieved in order for any performance based RSUs to vest. The achievement of the applicable performance goal (EPS or Relative TSR) at the end of the three-year period determines the corresponding number of RSUs that will vest. With respect to the EPS performance goal, the vesting is 20% at threshold performance, 100% at target performance and 200% at maximum performance. With respect to the Relative TSR performance goal, the vesting is 0% at threshold performance, 100% at target performance and 200% at maximum performance.
Performance results between a threshold level and target level or between a target level and maximum level are determined by means of interpolation. The three-year goals are established by the Compensation Committee based upon the Company’s long-term financial plan, reviews of analyst expectations and historical financial performance. Target levels are intended to be “stretch” goals, requiring significant growth in the Company’s EPS or Relative TSR over the three-year performance period in order to pay out at or above target.
For additional information relating to the terms and conditions of our performance-based awards, see the notes to the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2025 table.
Time-Based Awards
The time-based awards made to the NEOs for fiscal year 2025 vest at the rate of 30% on the first anniversary of the date of grant, 30% on the second anniversary of the date of grant, and the remaining 40% on the third anniversary of the date of grant. The Compensation Committee believes that providing time-based awards supports our guiding principle of competitiveness and promotes retention. The Compensation Committee chose the graduated vesting schedule to further the goal of retention, as the greatest percentage of shares vests in the third year after the grant. Additionally, supporting our focus on performance-based compensation, time-based awards comprise a minority of the NEOs’ fiscal year 2025 long-term incentive award opportunity.
Retention Award
Mr. Borges also received an additional time-based RSU award that vests at the rate of 30% on the first anniversary of the date of grant, 30% on the second anniversary of the date of grant, and the remaining 40% on the third anniversary of the date of grant. This award is not eligible for vesting based upon retirement.

During the performance period, the NEOs will accrue dividend equivalents on RSUs equal to the cash dividend or distribution that would have been paid on the RSU had the RSU been an outstanding share of common stock on the record date for the dividend or distribution. Such accrued dividend equivalents will vest and become payable upon the same terms and at the same time of settlement as the RSUs to which they relate. See the “Long-Term Compensation” portion of “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” for treatment of dividends under RSU awards. See “Potential Payments Upon Termination or a Change in Control” and “Other Compensation Policies and Considerations” under the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” for treatment of RSU awards upon a change in control and upon termination of employment due to retirement, death or disability. |

| (4) | The “Grant Date Fair Value of Stock Awards” column shows the full grant date fair value of the performance- and time-based RSUs granted to the NEOs in fiscal year 2025. The grant date fair value of the awards is determined under ASC 718 and represents the amount we would expense in our financial statements over the vesting schedule for the awards. In accordance with SEC rules, the amounts in this column reflect the actual ASC 718 accounting cost without reduction for estimates of forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. The fair value of each share underlying an EPS performance-based award for this purpose is equal to the closing price per share of a share of our common stock on the grant date and assumes target-level achievement. The fair value of each share underlying a Relative TSR performance-based award for this purpose is measured on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo valuation model, which utilizes multiple input variables to determine the probability of the Company achieving the specified market conditions and assumes target-level achievement. |

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation in Fiscal Year 2025
In fiscal year 2025, we permitted NEOs to elect to defer a portion of salary and annual incentive awards under the Jabil Inc. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. The following table shows cash compensation that was deferred by our NEOs, the aggregate earnings and aggregate withdrawals or distributions during fiscal year 2025, and the aggregate balance as of August 31, 2025. For additional information on this plan, see the “Other Compensation Policies and Considerations” portion of the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or a Change in Control
Except as described herein under “Severance and Termination,” Jabil’s NEOs do not have pre-existing employment or severance agreements. Accordingly, upon a termination with or without cause, or following a change in control or for any other reason, the only cash amounts the applicable NEO(s) receive are salary and bonus earned to the date of termination, unless Jabil decides at that time to voluntarily make a cash severance payment.
The Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, award a bonus to our NEOs for the year of retirement, pro-rated for service through the date of retirement. The only other scenarios in which our NEOs may receive additional amounts are in connection with accelerated or continued vesting of outstanding equity awards following a change in control, retirement, death or disability.
In the event of a change in control, awards outstanding under the Equity Incentive Plan will accelerate on the first anniversary of the change in control if the NEO has remained an employee, consultant or non-employee director or, if earlier, on the date the NEO is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason. With respect to the Equity Incentive Plan, the preceding discussion assumes that the outstanding awards are continued, assumed or replaced in connection with the change in control by the surviving or successor entity or its parent. If the awards are not continued, assumed or replaced, then the awards will be immediately fully vested on the change in control or, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, such awards may be terminated and cashed out. These provisions are more fully discussed in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Change in Control Arrangements” above.
In general, upon termination of employment, all unvested RSUs are forfeited unless (i) there is a change in control or (ii) the NEO is retirement-eligible, dies or becomes disabled. Awards that contain retirement, death or disability provisions may vest in whole or in part as discussed in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Other Compensation Policies and Considerations” above.

The following table sets forth the additional amounts that could have been payable or realizable by Jabil and realized by each NEO if termination of his employment were to have occurred as of August 31, 2025, for these scenarios. Amounts payable or realizable upon termination due to a change in control or death would be payable in a lump sum payment. The value upon continued vesting of equity awards (which would occur upon termination due to retirement and termination due to disability) would be realizable upon the respective vesting dates.

CEO Pay Ratio
In accordance with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K (“Item 402(u)”), we are providing the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of our median associate. This pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules and is based on our payroll and employment records and the methodology described below. In calculating the pay ratio, SEC rules allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, apply certain exclusions, and make reasonable estimates and assumptions reflecting their unique employee populations. Therefore, our reported pay ratio may not be comparable to that reported by other companies due to differences in industries, scope of international operations, business models and scale, as well as the different estimates, assumptions, and methodologies applied by other companies in calculating their respective pay ratios.
Considered Population
As of August 31, 2025, we employed 100,465 associates worldwide that meet the definition of employee under Item 402(u), other than our CEO. As permitted by SEC rules, in order to determine our median associate, we excluded approximately 5% of our total associate population or 4,824 associates outside of the U.S. from the following countries: Ukraine (2,322), India (2,136) and Indonesia (366). Therefore, an aggregate associate population of approximately 95,641 associates was considered (the “considered population”) in determining our median associate.
| Jabil Inc. 2026 Proxy Statement | 45 | |||
Table of Contents
Identifying our Median Associate
In determining our median associate, we used fiscal year 2025 total compensation (base salary plus cash bonus and equity). Adjustments were made to annualize the salaries of all newly hired full-time associates in the considered population who did not work for the entire fiscal year 2025. For associates located outside the U.S., compensation was converted to U.S. dollars using the spot exchange rate as of the last business day of the fiscal year (August 31, 2025).
As a large global manufacturing company, our business operations rely significantly on employees outside the United States. Of the approximate 95,641 associates included in our analysis, more than 87% are located outside the United States. The majority of the associates outside of the United States work in Mexico (28%) and China (23%). The compensation elements and pay levels of our employees differ from country to country based on market trends as well as fluctuations in currency exchange rates. We annually conduct competitive market pay analysis in all of the countries we operate in to help ensure we are competitive with local market practices. Reflecting this geographic concentration in Mexico and China, the annual total compensation for our median compensated associate in fiscal 2025 was $12,144.
The fiscal 2025 annual total compensation of Mr. Dastoor, our CEO at fiscal year end, was $16,092,334, as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table. The ratio of our CEO’s annual total compensation to our median associate’s annual total compensation was 1,325:1.

PROPOSAL NO. 3
ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
This proposal gives our stockholders the opportunity to vote to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, in accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, the compensation of our NEOs, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. At the most recent Annual Meeting of Stockholders held in January 2025, more than 72% of the votes cast on the say-on-pay proposal were cast “For” the approval of the compensation of our NEOs. Stockholders vote annually on the compensation of our NEOs. In fiscal year 2025, we updated our Severance Policy as described above, but we did not make further changes to our executive compensation program, having addressed the unique circumstance surrounding the departure of a former NEO.
Stockholders are urged to read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section, the compensation tables and the accompanying narrative disclosure set forth in this Proxy Statement. As described in detail in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section, we believe our compensation programs are predominantly performance-based, and are designed to attract, retain and motivate our NEOs, who are critical to our success, and to align their interests with those of our stockholders. The compensation program for our NEOs is composed of the following features, among others:
| • | Our Compensation Committee is composed solely of independent directors. The Compensation Committee has established a process for determining compensation for our NEOs, which includes advice from an independent compensation consultant and a review of compensation practices at peer group companies. |
| • | Our Compensation Committee engages in a robust and comprehensive annual review of the Company’s performance metrics and goals, which helps to ensure that these metrics and goals properly motivate and incent our NEOs to implement our long-term strategy and position Jabil for increased profitability and greater financial strength. |
| • | Our Compensation Committee receives advice from its independent compensation consultant, which performs no other services for Jabil. |
| • | A majority of the compensation payable to our NEOs is performance-based, including our annual cash incentive program and our performance-based restricted stock unit awards, which vest over multi-year performance periods, if at all. Over 50% of our NEOs’ target compensation is linked to Jabil’s business and stock price performance. |
| • | Our compensation philosophy is to pay for performance, and our goals are set at challenging levels. |
| • | We have stock ownership requirements for our NEOs. |
| • | We have adopted a clawback policy which allows us to recoup certain incentive-based incentive compensation paid to our executive officers in the event we restate financial statements due to material non-compliance with financial reporting requirements. We employ our NEOs “at will” without guaranteed or pre-existing employment, severance or change in control agreements. |
| • | Our NEOs participate in the same benefit plans as our salaried employees, with minimal special executive perquisites. |
We are asking our stockholders to indicate their support for our NEO compensation as described in this Proxy Statement. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our NEOs and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement.
Accordingly, we ask our stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:
|
|
“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to Jabil’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.” |
This vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on Jabil, the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors. However, the Compensation Committee will consider the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements. The Board of Director’s current policy is to hold annual say-on-pay votes, and thus, we expect that we will conduct our next say-on-pay vote at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2027.

PROPOSAL NO. 4
STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL: SHAREHOLDER RIGHT TO ACT BY WRITTEN CONSENT
We received a stockholder proposal from John Chevedden for consideration at the Annual Meeting. Mr. Chevedden’s address is 2215 Nelson Avenue, No. 205, Redondo Beach, CA 90278. We have been notified that Mr. Chevedden has continuously owned no fewer than 25 shares of our common stock since at least August 1, 2022.
If the stockholder proposal is properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the Board unanimously recommends a vote “AGAINST” the proposal. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented at the Annual Meeting and actually cast will be required to approve the stockholder proposal. This proposal and supporting statement are quoted verbatim below.
STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL
Proposal 4 — Shareholder Right to Act by Written Consent
Shareholders request that the board of directors take the necessary steps to permit written consent by the shareholders entitled to cast the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize an action at t meeting at which all shareholders entitled to vote thereon were present and voting (without any restriction based on length of stock ownership). This includes shareholder ability to initiate any appropriate topic for written consent.
Acting by written consent is all the more important at JBL due to the restricted right of JBL shareholders to call a special shareholder meeting. Currently all JBL shares held for less than one-year have no right to participate in calling for a special shareholder meeting.
If JBL finds itself in a future slump, JBL shareholders and potential JBL shareholders will not even consider acquiring more shares in order to act by written consent or to call for a special shareholder meeting in order to incentivize an JBL turnaround, if they have to sit on their shares for one-year before taking action. A one-year delay makes no sense when a company urgently needs a turnaround. A slumping stock price demands a quick response before the window of opportunity passes. This is why JBL needs a shareholder right to act by written consent without forcing JBL shareholders to sit on their shares for one-year in order to have any voice.
If one shareholder or a group of shareholders can quickly acquire more shares to act by written consent this is an incentive for JBL Directors to avoid a slump in the first place since the continued service of the certain JBL Directors could be terminated by written consent. This is a good incentive for the JBL Directors to have for the benefit of all JBL shareholders.
Acting by written consent is hardly ever used by shareholders but the main point of acting by written consent is that it gives shareholders at least significant standing to engage effectively with management.
Management will have an incentive to genuinely engage with shareholders, instead of stonewalling, if shareholders have a reasonable Plan B alternative of acting by written consent. Management likes to claim that shareholders have multiple means to communicate with management but in most cases these means are as effective as mailing a letter to the CEO. A reasonable right to act by written consent is an important step for effective shareholder engagement with management.
Please vote yes:
Shareholder Right to Act by Written Consent - Proposal 4

Table of Contents
BOARD OF DIRECTORS STATEMENT IN OPPOSITION
The Board has carefully considered the proposal. For the reasons outlined below, the Board believes that the proposal is not in the best interests of Jabil and its stockholders. The Board believes that matters requiring stockholder approval should be presented to, and voted on, by stockholders at a meeting where all stockholders can evaluate the matter, express their views, and vote. Importantly, our stockholders already have the ability to call special meetings of stockholders and the ability to nominate director candidates through the Company’s proxy access bylaw—both of which provide stockholders with effective means to voice their views. Therefore, the Board recommends that stockholders vote AGAINST the proposal.
The Board believes that matters requiring stockholder approval should be presented to, and voted on, by stockholders at a meeting where all stockholders can participate.
In order to allow all stockholders equal time and opportunity to consider and act upon any matter requiring stockholder approval, the Board believes that all matters requiring stockholder approval should be presented and considered at a meeting of stockholders. When stockholders act at a stockholders meeting, all stockholders receive advance notice of the meeting and have clearly established times during which they can evaluate the issues, engage with Jabil and other stockholders, communicate their views, and vote.
In contrast, action by written consent would permit a small group of stockholders (including those who accumulate a short-term voting position through the borrowing of shares) with no fiduciary duties to other stockholders to initiate action with no prior notice either to other stockholders or to the Company. Any such action would prevent all stockholders from having an opportunity to deliberate matters in an open and transparent manner, and to consider arguments for and against any action. In addition, rather than seeking input from all stockholders, a stockholder seeking action by written consent may attempt to solicit the fewest possible stockholders needed to take action, and may rely on consents obtained from some stockholders without allowing all stockholders, as well as the Board and Jabil management, to evaluate a proposal, express their views, and vote on the matter.
Indeed, permitting stockholder action by written consent could also lead to substantial confusion and disruption for stockholders, with potentially multiple, even conflicting, written consents being solicited by multiple stockholder groups. Given these concerns, over 68% of the 476 S&P 500 companies surveyed by FactSet either prohibit stockholders from acting by written consent or only permit action by unanimous stockholder written consent.
We already provide our stockholders with meaningful rights that allow them to express their views, including the ability for stockholders to call special meetings of stockholders and the ability to nominate director candidates through the Company’s proxy access bylaw.
As a result of amendments adopted by the Board in 2024 to lower the ownership threshold, one or more Company stockholders owning shares representing at least 25% of the voting power of the stock entitled to vote on the matter or matters to be brought before a proposed special meeting have the ability to request a special meeting of stockholders. A special meeting permits stockholders, the Board, and Jabil management to hold an open discussion on matters in between annual meetings and empowers all stockholders to participate in a single meeting. This informed and collective process does not occur in an action taken by written consent. Notably, our 25% special meeting threshold is consistent with or more favorable to stockholders than the special meeting rights at approximately 62% of the 476 S&P 500 companies surveyed by FactSet (including companies with a higher special meeting threshold and companies that do not permit stockholders to call special meetings).
| Jabil Inc. 2026 Proxy Statement | 55 | |||
Table of Contents
In addition, the Board has adopted a market-standard proxy access Bylaw right. This provision allows stockholders owning 3% or more of our outstanding common stock for a period of at least three years, including groups of up to 20 stockholders who collectively own 3% or more of our outstanding common stock, the right to nominate director candidates constituting up to 20% of our Board, and to solicit votes for those candidates using our proxy materials, subject to certain provisions included in our Bylaws. This proxy access right complements the ability of our stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders, as both provide stockholders owning a minority of shares with the ability to voice their views.
| For all of these reasons, the Board recommends that you vote “AGAINST” this proposal. |

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP
Share Ownership by Principal Stockholders and Management
The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of common stock of Jabil as of the Record Date (unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes) by: (i) each of Jabil’s directors and nominees for director; (ii) each of the named executive officers (“NEOs”) listed in the Summary Compensation Table; (iii) all current directors and executive officers of Jabil as a group; and (iv) each person known by Jabil to beneficially own more than five percent of the outstanding shares of its common stock. The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned is determined under the rules of the SEC and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the individual has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares as to which the individual has the right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days of the Record Date through the exercise of any stock option or other right. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes, each person has sole voting and investment power (or shares such powers with his or her spouse) with respect to the shares shown as beneficially owned. A total of 106,822,960 shares of Jabil’s common stock were outstanding as of the Record Date.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires Jabil’s executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of Jabil’s equity securities, to file initial reports of ownership on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Form 4 or Form 5 with the SEC. Such executive officers, directors and ten percent stockholders are also required by SEC rules to furnish Jabil with copies of all such forms that they file. Based solely on our review of the reports filed with the SEC and written representations that no other reports were required under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements were met during fiscal year 2025, with the exception of one Form 4 reporting a sale filed late on behalf of Mr. Raymund, due to an administrative error.

ABOUT THE MEETING
Revocability of Proxies
Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before its use by:
| • | delivering to Jabil’s Corporate Secretary a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy with a later date, |
| • | voting via the Internet or telephone at a later date, or |
| • | attending the virtual Annual Meeting and voting online. |
Solicitation Fees and Expenses
We are making this solicitation and will bear its costs. In addition, we may reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of shares for their expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to beneficial owners. Proxies may also be solicited by certain of our directors, officers and regular employees, without additional compensation, personally or by telephone. In addition, we have retained Innisfree M&A Incorporated (“Innisfree”) to assist us in the solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting. We will pay Innisfree a fee of $50,000, plus reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for its services.
Quorum; Voting Standards; Abstentions; Broker Non-Votes
A majority of the shares of Jabil common stock outstanding on November 28, 2025 (the “Record Date”) must be present or represented at the Annual Meeting in order to have a quorum for the transaction of business. Shares on which an abstention, or a broker non-vote has occurred will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. As of the Record Date, there were 106,822,960 shares of Jabil common stock outstanding.
Each stockholder of record is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock on all matters presented at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes in the election of directors.
A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker or other nominee entity does not vote on a particular proposal because it does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner on that particular proposal and does not have discretionary authority under the NYSE rules to vote on that particular proposal. Broker non-votes, if any, are not considered shares entitled to vote on any matter.
No dissenters’ or appraisal rights are available with respect to the proposals presently being submitted to the stockholders for consideration at the Annual Meeting.
Proposal 1
Our Bylaws provide that the election of our directors in uncontested elections is based on a majority voting standard. In contested director elections, a plurality voting standard will apply. In Proposal 1, we have nominated seven directors for election at the Annual Meeting and, because we did not receive advance notice under our Bylaws of any stockholder nominees for directors, the election of directors is an uncontested election.
To be elected in an uncontested election, the votes “for” a director must exceed 50% of the votes actually cast with respect to the director’s election. Votes actually cast exclude abstentions with respect to that director’s election, so abstentions and any broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors.
If an incumbent director does not receive more than 50% of the votes actually cast, then the incumbent director will promptly tender his or her conditional resignation following certification of the vote. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider the resignation offer and recommend to the Board of Directors whether to accept such offer. The Board will act on the recommendation within 90 days following the recommendation. For additional information regarding the majority voting standard, see “Majority Voting for Directors.”

Table of Contents
Proposals 2, 3 and 4
Proposals 2, 3 and 4 are approved by an affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented at the Annual Meeting and actually cast on each Proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the approval of Proposals 2, 3 and 4.

Stockholders whose shares are held in “street name” and who do not receive a control number should consult their voting instruction form or Notice of Internet Availability and may need to obtain a legal proxy from their brokerage firm, bank or other organization in advance of the virtual annual meeting in order to participate.

If you have previously consented to Jabil’s Internet delivery program, your consent will remain in effect until you cancel your enrolment, which you are free to do at any time.

Instructions to participate in the Internet delivery program are set forth on the Notice and proxy card. When next year’s proxy materials are available, you may be sent an e-mail telling you how to access them electronically. Please note that, while we are using the rules enacted by the SEC regarding the electronic distribution of proxy materials on websites, as opposed to being mailed, we may decide to change our procedures for the distribution of our proxy

Deadline for Receipt of Stockholder Proposals for Jabil’s Next Annual Meeting in January 2027.
Proposals that are intended to be presented by such stockholders at Jabil’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2027 pursuant to Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange Act must be submitted and comply with all applicable requirements of Rule 14a-8 and must be received by Jabil no later than August 14, 2026, in order to be considered for possible inclusion in the Proxy Statement and form of proxy relating to that meeting.
If a stockholder or group of stockholders intends to nominate one or more director nominees to be included in Jabil’s proxy materials for Jabil’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2027 pursuant to the proxy access provisions of our Bylaws, proper written notice of any such nomination must be received by our Corporate Secretary at 10800 Roosevelt Boulevard North, St. Petersburg, Florida 33716, Attention: Corporate Secretary or by email at Corporate_Secretary@Jabil.com, no earlier than the close of business on July 15, 2026 and not later than the close of business on August 14, 2026, and the nominating stockholder(s) and director nominee(s) must otherwise comply with the requirements specified in our Bylaws. If the date of Jabil’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2027 is more than 30 days before or after the anniversary of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2026, such notice must be received not earlier than the close of business on the 150th day prior to such meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 120th day prior to such meeting or the 10th day following the public announcement of the meeting date.

Eliminating Duplicate Mailings
We have adopted a procedure called “householding” under which we may deliver a single copy of the Notice of Internet Availability and, if you requested printed versions by mail, this Proxy Statement and the Annual Report to multiple stockholders who share the same address, unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. This procedure reduces the environmental impact of our annual meetings and printing and mailing costs. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to vote separately. If you wish to receive a separate copy of the Proxy Statement and Annual Report or if you wish to receive separate copies of future annual reports and proxy statements, then you may contact our Investor Relations Department by (i) mail at Jabil Inc., Attention: Investor Relations, 10800 Roosevelt Boulevard North, St. Petersburg, Florida 33716, (ii) telephone at (727) 577-9749, or (iii) email at investor_relations@Jabil.com, and we will promptly deliver a separate copy to you.
If you are receiving more than one copy of the proxy materials at a single address and would like to participate in householding, please contact the bank, broker, or other organization that holds your shares to request information about eliminating duplicate mailings.

Appendix A
RECONCILIATION OF GAAP AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Jabil presents certain non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of the SEC’s Regulation G in this Proxy Statement. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Also, our “core” financial measures should not be construed as an inference by us that our future results will be unaffected by those items that are excluded from our “core” financial measures.
Jabil believes that the non-GAAP “core” financial measures set forth below are useful to facilitate evaluating the past and future performance of our ongoing manufacturing operations over multiple periods on a comparable basis by excluding the effects of the amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense and related charges, restructuring, severance and related charges, distressed customer charges, loss on disposal of subsidiaries, settlement of receivables and related charges, impairment of notes receivable and related charges, goodwill impairment charges, business interruption and impairment charges, net, gain (loss) from the divestiture of businesses, acquisition and divestiture related charges, loss on debt extinguishment, (gain) loss on securities, income (loss) from discontinued operations, gain (loss) on sale of discontinued operations and certain other expenses, net of tax and certain deferred tax valuation allowance charges. Among other uses, management uses non-GAAP “core” financial measures to make operating decisions, assess business performance and as a factor in determining certain employee performance when evaluating incentive compensation.
In fiscal year 2023, the Company adopted an annual normalized tax rate (“normalized core tax rate”) for the computation of the non-GAAP (core) income tax provision to provide better consistency across reporting periods. In estimating the normalized core tax rate annually, the Company utilizes a full-year financial projection of core earnings that considers the mix of earnings across tax jurisdictions, existing tax positions, and other significant tax matters. The Company may adjust the normalized core tax rate during the year for material impacts from new tax legislation or material changes to the Company’s operations.
Prior to fiscal year 2023, the Company determined the tax effect of the items included and excluded from core earnings quarterly.
Adjusted free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less net capital expenditures (acquisition of property, plant and equipment less proceeds and advances from the sale of property, plant and equipment). We report adjusted free cash flow as we believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors in measuring our ability to generate cash internally and fund future growth and to provide a return to stockholders.
For additional information about non-GAAP financial measures, see our Form 10-K for the period ended August 31, 2025, under “MD&A-Non-GAAP (Core) Financial Measures.”

Charges recorded during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, primarily related to the 2025 Restructuring Plan and 2024 Restructuring Plan, respectively. Charges recorded during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, related to headcount reduction to further optimize our business activities. |

Pension service cost is recognized in cost of revenue and all other components of net periodic benefit cost, including return on plan assets, are presented in other expense. We are reclassifying the pension components in other expense to core operating income as we assess operating performance, inclusive of all components of net periodic benefit cost, with the related revenue. There is no impact to core earnings or diluted core earnings per share for this adjustment. |

Charges recorded during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025, relate primarily to costs associated with damage from Hurricanes Helene and Milton, which impacted our operations in St. Petersburg, Florida and Asheville and Hendersonville, North Carolina. Charges recorded during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024, related to costs associated with product quality liabilities. Charges recorded during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2025, and 2024, are classified as a component of cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
| (4) |
Charges recorded during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025, relate primarily to a pre-tax loss of $97 million recognized for the divestiture of our operations in Italy. We completed the divestiture of the Mobility Business and recorded a pre-tax gain of $942 million during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024. Certain post-closing adjustments were realized in March 2025, which resulted in the recognition of a $54 million pre-tax gain during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025. |

Charges recorded during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025, relate to an impairment of an investment in Preferred Stock. |
| (6) |
Tax adjustments for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025, were partially driven by an income tax benefit associated with a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits from a lapse in statute of limitations. Tax adjustments for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024, were partially driven by an income tax expense associated with the divestiture of the Mobility Business. The adjustment for taxes for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, primarily related to a change in the indefinite reinvestment assertion associated with operations that were classified as held for sale. |
