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 a leading provider of worldwide manufacturing services and solutions. We provide comprehensive electronics design, production, and product management services to companies in various industries and end markets.

Our Fiscal Year

Jabil’s fiscal year begins on September 1 and ends on August 31. Our 2022 fiscal year began September 1, 2021 and ended on August 31, 2022. Similarly, our 2023 fiscal year began on September 1, 2022 and will end on August 31, 2023.

Key FY 2022 Performance Results

 

 

LOGO

*A reconciliation for each of these measures can be found in Appendix A to this proxy statement.

Fiscal Year 2022 Dynamic Operating Environment

Despite a dynamic and challenging global operating environment, including war in Ukraine, supply challenges and the continuing impact of COVID-19, Jabil’s financial performance in fiscal year 2022 was strong.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which began to impact us in January 2020, has continued to affect our business and the businesses of our customers and suppliers. Travel and business operation restrictions arising from virus containment efforts of governments around the world have continued to impact our operations in Asia, Europe and the Americas. Essential activity exceptions from these restrictions allowed us to continue to operate but virus containment efforts have resulted in additional direct costs.

The impact on our suppliers has led to supply chain constraints, including difficulty sourcing materials necessary to fulfill customer production requirements and challenges in transporting completed products to our end customers.

Corporate Governance Highlights

 

 

LOGO

For a detailed discussion of our corporate governance, please see “Corporate Governance” beginning on page 7.

Board Leadership

Until his retirement effective November 1, 2021, Mr. Timothy Main served as Chairman, which allowed our CEO to focus his time and energy on operating and managing Jabil while leveraging the Chairman’s experience and perspectives. Our Vice Chairman oversaw executive sessions. Following Mr. Main’s retirement, our CEO, Mr. Mark Mondello, became Chairman of the Board. In this role, Mr. Mondello leverages his deep knowledge of the Company and its industry to lead the Board. Also beginning November 1, 2021, Mr. Steve Raymund assumed the role of Lead Independent Director. In that role, Mr. Raymund presides at meetings of the Board when Mr. Mondello is not present, including executive sessions of the independent directors, approves the agenda and schedule for Board meetings, and has authority to call executive session of the independent directors. Mr. Raymund may also act as a liaison between the Chairman and the independent directors.

Sustainability Council

In May 2021, we formed our first formal Enterprise Sustainability Council to advise and collaborate on sustainable business strategies to provide pathways to responsible, stable, profitable, and long-term economic growth. The membership is a cross functional team of company leaders that help ensure the integration of business and sustainability priorities across the company.

FY2022 Achievements

 

LOGO  

Green House Gas Reduction: Approximately 1.17 million metric tons CO2e were
avoided through the use of renewable energy in fiscal year 2022.

LOGO  

Green Bond Offering: In May 2022, we issued $500 million aggregate principal
amount of senior notes due 2027. In connection with these notes, we intend to
allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds to finance or refinance, in whole or
in part, one or more eligible expenditures related to eco-efficient products, waste
and water diversion, renewable energy, reducing the environmental impact of our
operations, green buildings and clean transportation.

LOGO  

Inclusivity: Jabil celebrated inclusivity through its partnership with the Special
Olympics USA Games. Jabil employees volunteered their time and expertise before
and during the games.

LOGO  

Health and Wellbeing: Jabil has adopted the World Health Organization definition of
health and wellbeing, which is defined as a state of complete physical, mental and
social wellbeing. A health mentorship program was launched in fiscal year 2022 to
establish and track health and wellbeing programs for our sites and to provide
mental health resilience training for employees.

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.

 

 

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, serving as liaison between the Chairman and the independent directors

•  Approving the agenda and schedule for Board meetings

•  If requested by management, being available for consultation and communication with major stockholders

•  Authorized to call executive sessions of the independent directors

 

Board of Directors Meetings during Fiscal Year 2022

The Board of Directors held a total of nine meetings during fiscal year 2022. Each member of the Board attended or participated in at least 89% or more of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the Board held during fiscal year 2022 and (ii) the total number of meetings held by each committee of the Board on which such director served during fiscal year 2022. The Chairman of the Board presides 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 which are posted on our website under the heading Governance at www.jabil.com/investor-relations. Detailed information on each committee is below. All committee members meet the independence requirements of the listing standards of the NYSE and the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Executive Sessions

Our independent directors meet at least once annually in executive session without management present. In fiscal year 2022, Mr. Raymund, our Lead Independent Director, presided at such meetings. See “Communication with the Board of Directors” 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 tasks 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 nomination 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 diversity of backgrounds, experiences, skills, accomplishments, financial expertise, professional interests, personal qualities and other traits.

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.

 

LOGO

Table of Contents

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.

Board Diversity

The Board of Directors and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consider diversity in the selection of nominees, utilizing a broad meaning of the term to include a nominee’s background, experience, skills, accomplishments, financial expertise, professional interests, personal qualities and other traits, including with respect to gender, race, ethnicity and national background, geography, age and sexual orientation, desirable in achieving an appropriate group of qualified individuals to advance our long-term business interests. Diversity is noted to be a factor for consideration of nominees for director in our Corporate Governance Guidelines and, as part of the search process for each new director, the Nominating and Corporate Governance committee seeks to include women and minorities in the pool of candidates.

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 nine directors are independent: Anousheh Ansari, Martha F. Brooks, Christopher S. Holland, John C. Plant, Steven A.

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 directors attended the most recent Annual Meeting of Stockholders held in January 2022.

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 equal to such director’s most recent annual Board membership cash fee (not including any additional fees for Committee or 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;

 

   

Unvested time-based restricted stock shares;

 

   

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 net shares following option exercise or restricted stock or restricted unit award vesting that remain after shares are sold or netted to pay any applicable option exercise prices and withholding taxes.

Majority Voting for Directors

Our directors are elected in uncontested elections by a majority vote. In contested director elections, a plurality voting standard will apply, which means the nominees receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected to serve as directors.

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 include votes where the authority to cast a vote for the director’s election is explicitly withheld and 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, 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. Thereafter, the Board will promptly disclose its decision whether to accept the director’s resignation offer (and the reasons for rejecting the offer, if applicable) in a Current Report on Form 8-K or by a press release. If the Board does not accept the resignation, the director will continue to serve until the next annual meeting and until a successor has been elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. If the Board accepts the resignation, then the Board, in its sole discretion, may fill any resulting vacancy or may decrease the size of the Board.

The election of directors at this year’s Annual Meeting is an uncontested election and thus the majority voting standard applies.

Continuing Excellence

Director Orientation and Ongoing Education

Director orientation – Our robust orientation program familiarizes new directors with Jabil’s businesses, strategies, and policies, and assists new directors in developing company and industry knowledge to optimize their service on the Board.

Continuing education – Regular continuing education programs enhance the skills and knowledge directors use to perform their responsibilities. These programs may include internally developed materials and presentations, programs presented by third parties, and financial and administrative support to attend academic or other independent programs.

Board and Committee’s Annual Evaluation Process

The Board of Directors annually evaluates the performance of the Board and its members. The Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee reviews the results, which are then reported to and discussed with the Board.

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.

Table of Contents

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 two 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, the Senior Vice President, Finance 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. The Senior Vice President, Finance 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, Jabil receives input from a broad range of people, including local and regional facility controllers, regarding financial results, compliance matters, and other matters.

Cybersecurity Risk

In 2019 the Board created a new Cybersecurity Committee to assist 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. In fiscal year 2022, management conducted a cybersecurity crisis simulation tabletop exercise and discussed the results with the Board. At each of its meetings, the Committee receives a report from management on cybersecurity incident management. The members of the Committee are Messrs. Holland and Stout and its Chairman is Ms. Ansari.

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 to ensure our employees, including the named executive officers (the “NEOs”), are not encouraged to take unreasonable risks in managing the business. These factors include:

 

   

Annual cash incentives and vesting for performance-based long-term awards using financial measures with sliding scales, 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 150% to 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

 

LOGO
LOGO    Jabil Inc. Fiscal Year 2022 Proxy Statement    13 


Table of Contents
 

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 creating diverse time horizons.

 

   

Challenging performance targets.

 

   

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 programs by a group of functions within Jabil.

 

   

Advice from outside advisors who are knowledgeable regarding various compensation policies and their associated risks.

 

   

Adoption of a clawback policy that allows us to recover performance-based compensation paid to executive officers on the basis of certain inaccurate financial results.

 

   

Inclusion of provisions in our equity award agreements allowing award value to be clawed back in certain circumstances, including in the event of a substantial violation of our Code of Conduct.

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 Ms. Walters, Ms. Ansari and Mr. Raymund. 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.

Stockholder Engagement

Our investor relations team and senior management regularly meet with current and prospective stockholders to review our business model and strategy. In fiscal 2022, we met with several current and prospective investors, both in person and virtually. Additionally, during calendar years 2020 and 2021, we conducted an investor perception study to gauge meaningful investor sentiment.

We value stockholders and utilize these interactions to better understand external perspectives on strategy, financial performance, executive compensation and other matters important to the investment community. Our investor relations team can be contacted at investor_relations@Jabil.com.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

The full text of the Corporate Governance Guidelines can be found in the Investors — Governance section of Jabil’s website (www.jabil.com). The Corporate Governance Guidelines reflect the principles by which Jabil and its Board of Directors operate. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee interprets the Corporate Governance Guidelines and determines whether actions taken are in compliance with the Guidelines.

Code of Conduct

Jabil has adopted a worldwide Code of Conduct, applicable to all directors, officers and employees, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. The Code of Conduct meets the requirements of a “code of ethics” as defined by Item 406 of Regulation S-K, as well as the requirements of a “code of business conduct and ethics” under the NYSE listing standards. The Code of Conduct covers topics including, but not limited to, conflicts of interest and confidentiality of information. A copy of the Code of Conduct can be found in the Investors — Governance section of Jabil’s website (www.jabil.com). Amendments to, or waivers of the provisions of, the Code of Conduct, if any, made with respect to any of our directors and executive officers will be posted on our website.

Mr. Main received compensation for his role as Chairman, but Mr. Mondello does not.

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-employee directors annually receive an equity award under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”). For fiscal year 2022, the non-employee directors received time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) valued at $210,000, or 3,400 RSUs based on Jabil’s closing price on the date of grant rounded to the nearest 100 shares. These RSUs vested on October 21, 2022, for all directors other than Mr. Sansone, whose RSUs are cash settled. As a result, Mr. Sansone received $203,014 (calculated by multiplying 3,400 RSUs by $59.71, our closing stock price on October 20, 2022). The following table summarizes the compensation of our directors for fiscal year 2022.

Amounts shown under the Stock Awards column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of the award pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 718 (ASC 718). For each director, this amount was determined by multiplying the total number of RSUs awarded (3,400) by the closing stock price on the grant date, October 21, 2021 ($62.63). For each director other than Mr. Sansone, 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. For Mr. Sansone, the aggregate amount of expense that has been or will be recognized by us is $203,014 due to the cash settlement of his award. The assumptions used for the valuations are set forth in Note 12 to our audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022. As of August 31, 2022, Messrs. Raymund, Holland, Plant, Sansone and Stout and Mmes. Ansari, Brooks and Walters held 3,400 shares subject to outstanding, unvested RSUs. Mr. Sansone’s award settles in cash in lieu of shares.

AUDIT COMMITTEE MATTERS

Jabil Inc.’s Audit Committee serves to assist Jabil’s 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 Investors Relations section of Jabil’s website (www.jabil.com). The Audit Committee annually reviews and assesses the adequacy of its charter in order to 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.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit, Audit-Related and Permissible Non-Audit Services

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. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. 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 2022, 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 2022, 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, 2023. 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.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL.

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

As a reminder, Jabil’s 2022 fiscal year began September 1, 2021 and ended August 31, 2022. Despite a dynamic and challenging global operating environment, Jabil’s financial performance in fiscal year 2022 was strong.

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 and operational 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 2022, 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 shareholder return relative to the S&P Supercomposite Technology Hardware and Equipment Index for a three-year performance period. The Compensation Committee believes these performance measures correlate highly to long-term stock price performance.

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.

 

Share ownership guidelines 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.

 

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 ensure our compensation is appropriately competitive, target direct compensation, as a whole, 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.

 

The approach to compensation should assure that adverse or excessive risk taking is discouraged.

 

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, business judgment, 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 minimum 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.

   Reward long-term service and 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 within the Company and in the peer group and compensation surveys.

NEO Total Direct Compensation Mix

The following chart illustrates the fiscal year 2022 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 established at the beginning of fiscal year 2022. “Annual Salary” is the annual salary initially established for each NEO for fiscal year 2022; “Target Cash Annual Incentive” means the target award opportunity under the annual incentive program for fiscal year 2022; and “Performance- Based Equity,” both Relative TSR and EPS and “Time-Based Equity” reflect the grant date fair values at target for fiscal year 2022. We provide executives with little to no perquisites and, as a result, have omitted them from the table below.

 

 

LOGO

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 percentage of variable and/or at-risk compensation for our CEO and, on average, our NEO’s.

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.

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. The Compensation Committee has engaged Steven Hall & Partners (“SH&P”) as its independent compensation consultant since March 2010. The types of services performed by SH&P during fiscal year 2022 included attending all 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, commenting on compensation-related disclosure, reviewing and commenting on the compensation philosophy, providing updates on regulatory and legislative changes impacting executive

compensation and facilitating the Chief Executive Officer evaluation and performance review process. SH&P 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 SH&P to be independent because SH&P performed no services for Jabil’s management unrelated to services performed for the Compensation Committee. In fiscal year 2022, the Compensation Committee reviewed and analyzed a number of factors, including those specified by SEC rules, and concluded that SH&P was independent and there was no conflict of interest raised as a result of any work performed by SH&P, directly or indirectly, for the Compensation Committee during fiscal year 2022.

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 for use when setting compensation and determined that the peer group was satisfactory for fiscal year 2022. The peer group used to set fiscal year 2022 NEO target compensation consists of the companies set forth below. Tech Data Corporation merged with Synnex Corporation in September 2021 and the combined entity is now TD SYNNEX. Both Tech Data Corporation and Synnex Corporation were in our peer group for fiscal year 2021 and have been replaced with TD SYNNEX. There were no other changes to the peer group for fiscal year 2022.

Table of Contents

When fiscal year 2022 NEO target compensation was set, Jabil’s revenue for the most recently completed fiscal year available approximated the 89th percentile of the peer group.

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 regarding 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 implement design changes to align compensation with 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. Over the past several years, the Compensation Committee granted performance based RSU awards, with vesting conditioned on Jabil’s EPS over a three-year performance period. The Compensation Committee also made RSU awards to each NEO based on the Relative TSR metric, with performance measured also over a three-year performance period. This metric creates additional alignment with stockholder interests.

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. For fiscal year 2022, we incurred one-time expatriate costs and associated tax gross-up for Mr. Wilson and severance benefits for Mr. Loparco that are one-time compensation 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 2022 Summary Compensation Table and the related notes.

All of the programs we offer, with the exception of the non-qualified deferred compensation program, are also offered to a broad-based group of our employees.

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 a termination for any reason whatsoever, NEO’s generally receive the pro rata portion of salary earned to the date of termination and pro-rata payment of the annual cash incentive compensation. 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. On a case-by-case basis, Jabil has at the time of termination entered into severance pay agreements with certain officers for various reasons, including but not limited to obtaining agreements from departing employees not to compete with Jabil for specified periods of time.

Mr. Michael J. Loparco, Executive Vice President and CEO Electronic Manufacturing Services retired effective March 31, 2022 (the “Effective Date”). In connection with his retirement, Mr. Loparco entered into a Mutual Separation Agreement and Release dated December 5, 2021, which was subsequently amended on March 31, 2022 (the “Loparco Agreement”). The Loparco Agreement provided that Mr. Loparco would receive a severance payment of $1,166,667 payable on or immediately after the Effective Date. Mr. Loparco also received $700,000 representing his target annual cash incentive under Jabil’s Short Term Incentive Plan for fiscal year 2022.

Mr. Bruce Johnson, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer retired effective September 1, 2022, although he will remain with the Company as an advisor through December 31, 2022. In connection with his retirement, Mr. Johnson entered into a Mutual Separation Agreement and Release dated July 27, 2022 (the “Johnson Agreement”). The Johnson Agreement provides that Mr. Johnson will receive a severance payment of $1,200,000, paid in quarterly installments after December 31, 2022. Mr. Johnson will also receive his fiscal year 2022 annual cash incentive.

Both Mr. Mr. Loparco and Mr. Johnson are subject to (a) a general release of claims and a covenant not to sue, (b) confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions, and (c) non-compete, non-solicitation, and non-interference provisions for a period of two years after the date noted in their respective agreements. Amounts payable to each of Mr. Loparco and Mr. Johnson under their respective agreements are subject to forfeiture and/or claw back in the event of a violation or threatened violation of the confidentiality, non-disparagement, non-compete, non-solicitation, and non-interference provisions.

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.

Table of Contents

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).

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 2022 table.

Clawback of Executive Compensation

Certain of 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, noncompete or upon substantial violation of our Code of Conduct. Jabil has also established a policy to recover certain performance-based compensation paid to our executive officers under certain circumstances in the event we report certain inaccurate financial results. The clawback policy provides that an executive officer’s performance-based incentive compensation (including equity awards) may be recovered if there is a restatement of the Company’s materially inaccurate financial results and the executive officer engaged in fraud or illegal conduct which materially contributed to the inaccurate financial results.

Insider Trading Policy

Our insider trading policy prohibits directors, employees and certain family members from purchasing or selling any type of security, whether issued by us or another company, while aware of material non-public information relating to the issuer or from providing such material non-public information to any person who may trade while aware of such information. Trading by our officers and directors, as well as other employees who may be expected in the ordinary course of performing their duties to have access to material non-public information, is restricted to certain quarterly trading windows. All individuals subject to Jabil’s Share Ownership Guidelines are prohibited from entering into “short sales,” “put” or “call” options, or other derivatives based on Jabil Inc. common stock or otherwise using financial instruments to hedge the economic risk of such stock. In addition, federal securities laws prohibit the executive officers from selling “short” our stock.

Executive Share Ownership Requirements

Jabil has minimum share 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 share 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 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 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 those who were NEOs as of the most recent Annual Meeting of Stockholders in January 2022 were in compliance with the share 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.

Say-On-Pay Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

We provided stockholders with a “say-on-pay” advisory vote on executive compensation during the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held in January 2022. More than 98% of the votes cast on the say-on-pay proposal were cast “For” the approval of the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in the proxy statement distributed in connection with that annual meeting. The Compensation Committee evaluated the results of the say-on-pay vote and, in light of the substantial support, it did not make any material changes to the executive compensation program and policies for fiscal year 2022.

NEO Fiscal Year 2022 Cash Compensation

NEO Base Salary

NEO salaries increased in fiscal year 2022 between 0% and 5%, reflecting individual performance, contribution and market practices.

NEO Annual Cash Incentives

Annual cash incentives for the NEOs in fiscal year 2022 were based upon three profitability measures: corporate core operating income, corporate core operating income margin and corporate free cash flow. Unlike 2021, no NEO’s award depended on divisional performance. This change was made to incentivize NEOs to make decisions benefiting the Company as a whole. Additional detail on these metrics can be found below.

Definitions

The Compensation Committee approved the performance metrics described below.

 

   

Definitions for Annual Cash Incentive Metric. The Compensation Committee defined the metrics for the annual cash incentives, which were intended to be consistent with the Company’s publicly disclosed financial results, at the time compensation was set at the beginning of fiscal year 2022.

The following definitions were used for the corporate metrics:

 

   

Corporate Core Operating Income (Non-GAAP) (CANCOI):    means U.S. GAAP operating income less amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense and related charges, restructuring, severance and related charges, distressed customer charges, acquisition and integration charges, loss on disposal of subsidiaries, settlement of receivables and related charges, impairment of notes receivable and related charges, goodwill impairment charges and business interruption and impairment charges, net plus other components of net periodic benefit cost.

 

   

Corporate Core Operating Income Margin: means CANCOI divided by net revenue.

 

   

Corporate Free Cash Flow: means 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).

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.

The cash flow metric is intended to reward executives for producing consistent, repeatable free cash flow results. In order to determine whether the target has been achieved, the Corporate Free Cash Flow metric was measured against a weighted cumulative target for each quarter.    

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 2022 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 2020, Jabil granted two kinds of long-term, performance-based incentive awards that had performance measurement periods ending on August 31, 2022, one subject to EPS performance goals and one subject to total shareholder return goals. The specific performance goals for these long-term awards were previously disclosed by Jabil in its proxy statement covering the fiscal year the grant was made.

Table of Contents

Definitions for Long-Term Incentive Metrics Granted in Fiscal Year 2022

The following definitions apply to the long-term, performance-based incentive compensation awards made during fiscal year 2022:

 

 

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, 2021 and ending on August 31, 2024.

 

 

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 Shareholder 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 Supercomposite 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 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.

FY22 Grants

For fiscal year 2022, the Compensation Committee granted the NEOs performance-based RSU awards and time-based RSU awards, with the potential to achieve the most value placed on the performance-based grant.

Each NEO received performance-based RSU awards that were based on the cumulative core EPS metric and performance-based RSU awards that were based on the Relative TSR metric, each described above. Each NEO received two-thirds of their total target long-term compensation in performance-based RSU awards and one-third in time-based awards.

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 2022. 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 2022. 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 150% 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.

 

LOGO
LOGO    Jabil Inc. Fiscal Year 2022 Proxy Statement    35 


Table of Contents

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 2022 table.

Time-Based Awards

The time-based awards made to the NEOs for fiscal year 2022 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 2022 long-term incentive award opportunity.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation for Fiscal Year 2022

The Compensation Committee reviewed current market data as part of its regular annual review of CEO compensation, which includes both peer group and compensation survey data. This analysis showed that Mr. Mondello’s fiscal year 2022 salary was approximately 4% below the market median, target total cash compensation (salary plus target annual cash incentive) was 11% below the market median and target total direct compensation (target total cash compensation plus the target value of long-term incentives granted) was approximately 7% below the market median. Mr. Mondello’s salary increased 3.3% in fiscal year 2022 to $1,255,000. Mr. Mondello does not receive any pension benefits, severance commitments, change in control excise tax gross-up commitments or perquisites. Additional items of CEO compensation are generally those available to all salaried U.S. employees (such as 401(k) matching contributions).

The “Estimated Future Payouts Under Equity Incentive Plan Awards” column shows the range of shares that may be earned in respect of performance-based RSUs granted under our Equity Incentive Plan in fiscal year 2022. For additional information related to the performance period, performance measures and targets, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”. 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.

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.

The market value shown was determined by multiplying the number of shares of stock that have not vested by $60.30, the closing market price of Jabil common stock on August 31, 2022.

These amounts represent the number of shares of performance-based RSUs including the Relative TSR RSUs granted in fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019. The FY 2022 performance periods and threshold, target, and maximum levels of achievement for performance-based RSUs including the Relative TSR RSUs are described in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.” The number of shares and related values as of August 31, 2022 represent the award at target level of achievement. Actual results may cause our NEOs to earn more or fewer shares. During the performance period, the NEO 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.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or a Change in Control

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.

For each NEO other than Mr. Loparco, 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, 2022 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. For Mr. Loparco, who retired on March 1, 2022, the following table sets forth actual amounts paid upon termination.

The amounts paid to Mr. Loparco upon his retirement in March 2022 and to be paid to Mr.  Johnson upon his retirement are described herein under “Severance and Termination.”

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, 2022, we employed approximately 154,473 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 approximately 7,479 associates outside of the U.S. from the following countries: Vietnam (6,402), and Dominican Republic (1,077). Therefore, an aggregate associate population of approximately 146,990 was considered (the “considered population”) in determining our median associate.

Identifying our Median Associate

In determining our median associate, we used fiscal year 2022 target total compensation (base salary plus target 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 2022. 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, 2022). The annual total compensation for our median associate in fiscal 2022 was $8,131.

The fiscal 2022 annual total compensation of our CEO was $16,435,268, as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table. The ratio of our CEO’s annual total compensation to our median associates’ annual total compensation was 2,021:1.

To set some context for the above CEO pay ratio, as a large global manufacturing company, the nature of our operations relies significantly on employees outside the United States. Of the 146,990 associates included in our analysis, more than 93% are located outside the United States. 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 ensure we are competitive with local market practices.

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 2022, more than 98% 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.

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 to ensure that they 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, Steven Hall & Partners, 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 performance-based incentive compensation paid to our executive officers in the event we report certain inaccurate financial results.

 

   

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 little or no 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 pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including 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 2024.

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 2022, with the exception of one Form 3 filed late on behalf of each of Messrs. Ferri and McKay and Mmes. Meriwether and Yap; and one Form 4 reporting two transactions filed late on behalf of Mr. Sansone, due to a technical 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. While we have not chosen at this time to engage the services of a proxy solicitor to aid in the solicitation of proxies and to verify records relating to the solicitation, should we do so, we will bear all costs of such solicitation of proxies. We anticipate that if we retain the services of a proxy solicitor, we will pay that firm customary fees for those services, which we believe would not be significant.

Quorum; Voting Standards; Abstentions; Broker Non-Votes

A majority of the shares of Jabil common stock outstanding on 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, a withheld vote or a broker non-vote has occurred will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

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 have authority under the NYSE rules to vote on that particular proposal without receiving voting instructions from the beneficial owner. Broker non-votes 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 eight 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 include votes where the authority to cast a vote for the director’s election is explicitly withheld but 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.”

Proposals 2 and 3.

Proposals 2 and 3 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 and 3.

Proposals that are intended to be presented by such stockholders at Jabil’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2024 must be submitted and comply with all applicable requirements of Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange Act and must be received by Jabil no later than August 11, 2023, 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 2024 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 no earlier than the close of business on July 12, 2023 and not later than the close of business on August 11, 2023, 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 2024 is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the anniversary of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2023, such notice must be received no 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.

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, acquisition and integration 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, 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.

Jabil determines the tax effect of the items excluded from “core” earnings and “core” diluted earnings per share based upon evaluation of the statutory tax treatment and the applicable tax rate of the jurisdiction in which the pre-tax items were incurred, and for which realization of the resulting tax benefit, if any, is expected. In certain jurisdictions where we do not expect to realize a tax benefit (due to existing tax incentives or a history of operating losses or other factors resulting in a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets), a reduced or 0% tax rate is applied.

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, 2022 under “MD&A-Non-GAAP (Core) Financial Measures.”
