JABIL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the information set forth therein have been included. Jabil Inc. (the “Company”) has made certain reclassification adjustments to conform prior periods’ Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to the current presentation. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019. Results for the three months ended November 30, 2019 are not necessarily an indication of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending August 31, 2020.
2. Trade Accounts Receivable Securitization and Sale Programs
The Company regularly sells designated pools of trade accounts receivable under a foreign asset-backed securitization program, a North American asset-backed securitization program and uncommitted trade accounts receivable sale programs (collectively referred to herein as the “programs”). The Company continues servicing the receivables sold and in exchange receives a servicing fee under each of the programs. Servicing fees related to each of the programs recognized during the three months ended November 30, 2019 and 2018 were not material. The Company does not record a servicing asset or liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as the Company estimates that the fee it receives to service these receivables approximates the fair market compensation to provide the servicing activities.
Transfers of the receivables under the programs are accounted for as sales and, accordingly, net receivables sold under the programs are excluded from accounts receivable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reflected as cash provided by operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Asset-Backed Securitization Programs
The Company continuously sells designated pools of trade accounts receivable, at a discount, under its foreign asset-backed securitization program and its North American asset-backed securitization program to special purpose entities, which in turn sell certain of the foreign asset-backed receivables to an unaffiliated financial institution and a conduit administered by an unaffiliated financial institution and certain of the North American asset-backed receivables to conduits administered by an unaffiliated financial institution on a monthly basis.
The special purpose entity in the foreign asset-backed securitization program is a separate bankruptcy-remote entity whose assets would be first available to satisfy the creditor claims of the unaffiliated financial institution. The Company is deemed the primary beneficiary of this special purpose entity as the Company has both the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits that could potentially be significant to the entity from the transfer of the trade accounts receivable into the special purpose entity. Accordingly, the special purpose entity associated with the foreign asset-backed securitization program is included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As of November 30, 2019, the special purpose entity has liabilities for which creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company (primary beneficiary). The liabilities cannot exceed the maximum amount of net cash proceeds under the foreign asset-backed securitization program.
The foreign asset-backed securitization program contains a guarantee of payment by the special purpose entity, in an amount approximately equal to the net cash proceeds under the program. No liability has been recorded for obligations under the guarantee as of November 30, 2019.
The special purpose entity in the North American asset-backed securitization program is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and is included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain unsold receivables covering the maximum amount of net cash proceeds available under the North American asset-backed securitization program are pledged as collateral to the unaffiliated financial institution as of November 30, 2019.
Following is a summary of the asset-backed securitization programs and key terms:

The asset-backed securitization programs require compliance with several covenants. The North American asset-backed securitization program covenants include compliance with the interest ratio and debt to EBITDA ratio of the five-year unsecured credit facility amended as of November 8, 2017 (the “2017 Credit Facility”). The foreign asset-backed securitization program covenants include limitations on certain corporate actions such as mergers and consolidations. As of November 30, 2019 and August 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the asset-backed securitization programs.

4. Leases
Effective September 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), Leases (Topic 842) using the modified retrospective approach and also elected to apply the package of practical expedients, which among other things, allows entities to maintain the historical lease classification for existing leases. The Company has lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed after the adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components for building and real estate leases.
The Company primarily has leases for buildings and real estate with lease terms ranging from 1 year to 36 years. Leases for other classes of assets are not significant. For any leases with an initial term in excess of 12 months, the Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at contract inception by evaluating if the contract conveys the right to use and control the specific property or equipment. Certain lease agreements contain purchase or renewal options. These options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Generally, the Company's lease agreements do not contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
Right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term at the lease commencement date. When determining the present value of future payment, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate when the implicit rate is not readily determinable. Any payment deemed probable under residual value guarantees is included in lease payments. Any variable payments, other than those that depend on an index or rate, are excluded from right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.
Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

9


Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company recorded $414.6 million and $437.5 million of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, respectively, related to its existing operating lease portfolio. The accounting for the Company's finance leases remained substantially unchanged and balances were not significant on the adoption date. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Operations or the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Acquired Plan
As a result of the third closing of the JJMD acquisition, the Company assumed a pension obligation for employees in Switzerland (the “Switzerland plan”). The Switzerland plan, which is a qualified defined benefit pension plan, provides benefits based on average employee earnings over an approximately 8 years service period preceding retirement and length of employee service. The Company’s policy is to contribute amounts sufficient to meet minimum funding requirements as set forth in Switzerland employee benefit and tax laws plus such additional amounts as are deemed appropriate by the Company.
The following tables provide information only related to the Switzerland plan as of the acquisition date, September 30, 2019, and are preliminary estimates.

8. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company is directly and indirectly affected by changes in certain market conditions. These changes in market conditions may adversely impact the Company’s financial performance and are referred to as market risks. The Company, where deemed appropriate, uses derivatives as risk management tools to mitigate the potential impact of certain market risks. The primary market risks managed by the Company through the use of derivative instruments are foreign currency risk and interest rate risk.
Foreign Currency Risk Management
Forward contracts are put in place to manage the foreign currency risk associated with the anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses. A hedging relationship existed with an aggregate notional amount outstanding of $284.2 million and $334.1 million as of November 30, 2019 and August 31, 2019, respectively. The related forward foreign exchange contracts have been designated as hedging instruments and are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The forward foreign exchange contract transactions will effectively lock in the value of anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses against foreign currency fluctuations. The anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses being hedged are expected to occur between December 1, 2019 and November 30, 2020.

In addition to derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments and qualify for hedge accounting, the Company also enters into forward contracts to economically hedge transactional exposure associated with commitments arising from trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, fixed purchase obligations and intercompany transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective operating entity. The aggregate notional amount of these outstanding contracts as of November 30, 2019 and August 31, 2019, was $3.1 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively.
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Refer to Note 16 – “Fair Value Measurements” for the fair values and classification of the Company’s derivative instruments.
The gains and losses recognized in earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness and the amount excluded from effectiveness testing were not material for all periods presented and are included as components of net revenue, cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expense, which are the same line items in which the hedged items are recorded.

Restricted Stock Units
Certain key employees have been granted time-based, performance-based and market-based restricted stock units. The time-based restricted stock units generally vest on a graded vesting schedule over three years. The performance-based restricted stock units generally vest on a cliff vesting schedule over three years and up to a maximum of 150%, depending on the specified performance condition and the level of achievement obtained. The performance-based restricted stock units have a vesting condition that is based upon the Company’s cumulative adjusted core earnings per share during the performance period. The market-based restricted stock units generally vest on a cliff vesting schedule over three years and up to a maximum of 200%, depending on the specified performance condition and the level of achievement obtained. The market-based restricted stock units have a vesting condition that is tied to the Company’s total shareholder return based on the Company’s stock performance in relation to the companies in the Standard and Poor’s (S&P) Super Composite Technology Hardware and Equipment Index excluding the Company. During the three months ended November 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company awarded approximately 1.1 million and 1.5 million time-based restricted stock units, respectively, 0.3 million and 0.4 million performance-based restricted stock units, respectively and 0.3 million and 0.4 million market-based restricted stock units, respectively.

11. Concentration of Risk and Segment Data
Concentration of Risk
Sales of the Company’s products are concentrated among specific customers. During the three months ended November 30, 2019, the Company’s five largest customers accounted for approximately 49% of its net revenue and 65 customers accounted for approximately 90% of its net revenue. Sales to these customers were reported in the Electronics Manufacturing Services (“EMS”) and Diversified Manufacturing Services (“DMS”) operating segments.
The Company procures components from a broad group of suppliers. Some of the products manufactured by the Company require one or more components that are available from only a single source.
Segment Data
Net revenue for the operating segments is attributed to the segment in which the service is performed. An operating segment’s performance is evaluated based on its pre-tax operating contribution, or segment income. Segment income is defined as net revenue less cost of revenue, segment selling, general and administrative expenses, segment research and development expenses and an allocation of corporate manufacturing expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses. Segment income does not include amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense and related charges, restructuring 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, restructuring of securities loss, goodwill impairment charges, business interruption and impairment charges, net, income (loss) from discontinued operations, gain (loss) on sale of discontinued operations, other expense (excluding certain components of net periodic benefit cost), interest income, interest expense, income tax expense or adjustment for net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. Transactions between operating segments are generally recorded at amounts that approximate those at which we would transact with third parties.

Primarily relates to the 2017 Restructuring Plan.
2020 Restructuring Plan
On September 20, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors formally approved a restructuring plan to realign the Company’s global capacity support infrastructure, particularly in the Company’s mobility footprint in China, in order to optimize organizational effectiveness. This action includes headcount reductions and capacity realignment (the “2020 Restructuring Plan”). The 2020 Restructuring Plan reflects the Company’s intention only and restructuring decisions, and the timing of such decisions, at certain locations are still subject to consultation with the Company’s employees and their representatives.
The Company currently expects to recognize approximately $85.0 million in pre-tax restructuring and other related costs primarily over the course of the Company’s fiscal year 2020. This information will be subject to the finalization of timetables for the transition of functions, consultation with employees and their representatives as well as the statutory severance requirements of the particular jurisdictions impacted, and the amount and timing of the actual charges may vary due to a variety of factors. The Company’s estimates for the charges discussed above exclude any potential income tax effects.
The table below summarizes the Company’s liability activity, primarily associated with the 2020 Restructuring Plan

13. Income Taxes

Effective Income Tax Rate
The U.S. federal statutory income tax rate and the Company's effective income tax rate are as follows:
 
Three months ended
 
November 30,
2019
 
November 30,
2018
U.S. federal statutory income tax rate
21.0
%
 
21.0
%
Effective income tax rate
60.3
%
 
24.8
%

The effective income tax rate increased for the three months ended November 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended November 30, 2018, primarily due to: (i) $13.3 million of tax benefit for the three months ended November 30, 2018 related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”) adjustments and (ii) increased restructuring charges with minimal related tax benefit for the three months ended November 30, 2019.
The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% during the three months ended November 30, 2019 and 2018 primarily due to: (i) losses in tax jurisdictions with existing valuation allowances; (ii) tax incentives granted to sites in Brazil, China, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam; and (iii) adjustments to amounts previously recorded for the Tax Act for the three months ended November 30, 2018.

14. Earnings Per Share and Dividends
Earnings Per Share
The Company calculates its basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company’s diluted earnings per share is calculated in a similar manner, but includes the effect of dilutive securities. The difference between the weighted average number of basic shares outstanding and the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding is primarily due to dilutive unvested restricted stock unit awards (“restricted stock units”) and dilutive stock appreciation rights.
Potential shares of common stock are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share when their effect would be antidilutive. Performance-based restricted stock units are considered dilutive when the related performance criteria have been met assuming the end of the reporting period represents the end of the performance period. All potential shares of common stock are antidilutive in periods of net loss. Potential shares of common stock not included in the computation of earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive or because the performance criterion was not met were as follows (in thousands):

15. Business Acquisitions
During fiscal year 2018, the Company and Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies (“JJMD”) entered into a Framework Agreement to form a strategic collaboration and expand its existing relationship. The strategic collaboration expands the Company’s medical device manufacturing portfolio, diversification and capabilities.
On February 25, 2019 and April 29, 2019, under the terms of the Framework Agreement, the Company completed the initial and second closings, respectively, of its acquisition of certain assets of JJMD. The preliminary aggregate purchase price paid for the initial and second closings was approximately $163.1 million in cash, which remains subject to certain post-closing adjustments. For the initial and second closings, total assets acquired of $169.4 million and total liabilities assumed of $6.3 million were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition dates.
On September 30, 2019, under the terms of the Framework Agreement, the Company completed the third closing of its acquisition of certain assets of JJMD. The preliminary aggregate purchase price paid for the third closing was approximately $106.9 million in cash, which remains subject to certain post-closing adjustments based on conditions within the Framework Agreement. For the third closing, total assets acquired of $185.0 million, including $83.2 million in contract assets, $35.1 million in inventory and $55.7 million in goodwill, and total liabilities assumed of $78.1 million, including $58.8 million of pension obligations, were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. There were no intangible assets identified in this acquisition and the goodwill is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce. The majority of the goodwill is currently not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
The acquisition of the JJMD assets have been accounted for as separate business combinations for each closing using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company is currently evaluating the fair values of the assets and liabilities related to these business combinations. The preliminary estimates and measurements are, therefore, subject to change during the measurement period for assets acquired, liabilities assumed and tax adjustments. The results of operations were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial results beginning on February 25, 2019 for the initial closing, April 29, 2019 for the second closing and September 30, 2019 for the third closing. The Company believes it is impracticable to provide pro forma information for the acquisition of the JJMD assets.

Consist of investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of 90 days or less.
(2) 
The Company’s forward foreign exchange contracts are measured on a recurring basis at fair value, based on foreign currency spot rates and forward rates quoted by banks or foreign currency dealers.
(3) 
The Senior Non-Convertible Preferred Stock is valued each reporting period using unobservable inputs based on a discounted cash flow model and is classified as an available for sale debt security with any unrealized loss recorded to AOCI. As of November 30, 2019 and August 31, 2019, the unobservable inputs have an immaterial impact on the fair value calculation.
(4) 
Fair value measurements are based on the contractual terms of the derivatives and use observable market-based inputs. The interest rate swaps are valued using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative using observable inputs including interest rate curves and credit spreads.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts of borrowings under credit facilities and under loans approximates fair value as interest rates on these instruments approximates current market rates.
Notes payable and long-term debt is carried at amortized cost; however, the Company estimates the fair values of notes payable and long-term debt for disclosure purposes. The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's notes payable and long-term debt, by hierarchy level as of the periods indicated:

17. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is party to certain lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
18. New Accounting Guidance
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
During fiscal year 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard revising lease accounting, which requires the Company to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and disclose key information regarding leasing arrangements. The accounting standard became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. Refer to Note 4 - “Leases” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
During fiscal year 2017, the FASB issued a new accounting standard to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities by simplifying the application of hedge accounting and improving the related disclosures in its financial statements. This guidance became effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The guidance was applied using a modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements; however, the impact on future periods will depend on the facts and circumstances of future transactions.
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
During fiscal year 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard, which replaces the existing incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. This guidance must be applied using a modified retrospective or prospective transition method, depending on the area covered by this accounting standard. The Company is currently assessing the impact this new standard may have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
During fiscal year 2018, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. The Company is currently assessing the impact this new standard may have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recently issued accounting guidance not discussed above is not applicable or did not have, or is not expected to have, a material impact to the Company.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
We are one of the leading providers 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 services enable our customers to reduce manufacturing costs, improve supply-chain management, reduce inventory obsolescence, lower transportation costs and reduce product fulfillment time. Our manufacturing and supply chain management services and solutions include innovation, design, planning, fabrication and assembly, delivery and managing the flow of resources and products. We derive substantially all of our revenue from production and product management services (collectively referred to as “manufacturing services”), which encompass the act of producing tangible components that are built to customer specifications and are then provided to the customer.
We serve our customers primarily through dedicated business units that combine highly automated, continuous flow manufacturing with advanced electronic design and design for manufacturability. We depend, and expect to continue to depend, upon a relatively small number of customers for a significant percentage of our net revenue, which in turn depends upon their growth, viability and financial stability. Based on net revenue, for the three months ended November 30, 2019, our largest customers include Amazon.com, Inc., Apple, Inc., Cisco Systems, Inc., GoPro, Inc., Hewlett-Packard Company, Ingenico Group, Johnson and Johnson, LM Ericsson Telephone Company, NetApp, Inc. and SolarEdge Technologies Inc..
We conduct our operations in facilities that are located worldwide, including but not limited to, China, Ireland, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore and the United States. We derived a substantial majority, 81.8% of net revenue from our international operations for the three months ended November 30, 2019. Our global manufacturing production sites allow customers to manufacture products simultaneously in the optimal locations for their products. Our global presence is key to assessing and executing on our business opportunities.
We have two reporting segments: Electronics Manufacturing Services (“EMS”) and Diversified Manufacturing Services (“DMS”), which are organized based on the economic profiles of the services performed, including manufacturing capabilities, market strategy, margins, return on capital and risk profiles. Our EMS segment is focused around leveraging IT, supply chain design and engineering, technologies largely centered on core electronics, utilizing our large scale manufacturing infrastructure and our ability to serve a broad range of end markets. Our EMS segment is a high volume business that produces product at a quicker rate (i.e. cycle time) and in larger quantities and includes customers primarily in the automotive and transportation, capital equipment, cloud, computing and storage, defense and aerospace, industrial and energy, networking and telecommunications, print and retail, and smart home and appliances industries. Our DMS segment is focused on providing engineering solutions, with an emphasis on material sciences, technologies and healthcare. Our DMS includes customers primarily in the edge devices and accessories, healthcare, mobility and packaging industries.
We monitor the current economic environment and its potential impact on both the customers we serve as well as our end-markets and closely manage our costs and capital resources so that we can respond appropriately as circumstances change.

The sales cycle is calculated as the sum of days in accounts receivable and days in inventory, less the days in accounts payable; accordingly, the variance in the sales cycle quarter over quarter is a direct result of changes in these indicators.
(2) 
Inventory turns and days in inventory are calculated based on inventory and contract asset balances.
(3) 
During the three months ended November 30, 2019, the increase in days in accounts receivable from the prior sequential quarter was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable, primarily driven by higher sales and timing of collections.
(4) 
During the three months ended August 31, 2019, the decrease in days in inventory from the prior sequential quarter was primarily due to increased sales activity during the quarter.
(5) 
During the three months ended May 31, 2019, the decrease in days in accounts payable from the prior sequential quarter was primarily due to timing of purchases and cash payments for purchases during the quarter.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. Management believes that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results may vary from these estimates and assumptions under different future circumstances. For further discussion of our significant accounting policies, refer to Note 1 — “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 18 – “New Accounting Guidance” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recent accounting guidance.
Results of Operations
Net Revenue
Generally, we assess revenue on a global customer basis regardless of whether the growth is associated with organic growth or as a result of an acquisition. Accordingly, we do not differentiate or separately report revenue increases generated by acquisitions as opposed to existing business. In addition, the added cost structures associated with our acquisitions have historically been relatively insignificant when compared to our overall cost structure.
The distribution of revenue across our segments has fluctuated, and will continue to fluctuate, as a result of numerous factors, including the following: fluctuations in customer demand; efforts to diversify certain portions of our business; business growth from new and existing customers; specific product performance; and any potential termination, or substantial winding down, of significant customer relationships.

Net revenue increased during the three months ended November 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended November 30, 2018. Specifically, the EMS segment revenues increased 26% primarily due to (i) a 27% increase in revenues from existing customers within our cloud business, (ii) a 3% increase in revenues from existing customers within our print and retail business, (iii) a 2% increase in revenues from existing customers within our automotive and transportation business and (iv) a 2% increase in revenues spread across various industries within the EMS segment. The increase is partially offset by (i) a 6% decrease from existing customers within our networking and telecommunications business and (ii) a 2% decrease from existing customers within our computing and storage business and our capital equipment business, which we expect to remain weak into the second half of calendar year 2020. DMS segment revenues increased 3% due to a 12% increase in revenues from new and existing customers in our healthcare and packaging businesses. The increase is partially offset by a 9% decrease in revenue from customers within our mobility and edge devices and accessories businesses as a result of decreased end user product demand and end market dynamics.

Except for asset write-off costs, all restructuring and related charges are cash costs.
(2) 
Primarily relates to the 2020 Restructuring Plan.
(3) 
Primarily relates to the 2017 Restructuring Plan.
2020 Restructuring Plan
On September 20, 2019, our Board of Directors formally approved a restructuring plan to realign our global capacity support infrastructure, particularly in our mobility footprint in China, in order to optimize organizational effectiveness. This action includes headcount reductions and capacity realignment (the “2020 Restructuring Plan”). The 2020 Restructuring Plan reflects our intention only and restructuring decisions, and the timing of such decisions, at certain locations are still subject to consultation with our employees and their representatives.
We currently expect to recognize approximately $85.0 million in pre-tax restructuring and other related costs primarily over the course of our fiscal year 2020. The charges relating to the 2020 Restructuring Plan are currently expected to result in cash expenditures in the range of approximately $30.0 million to $40.0 million that will be payable over the course of our fiscal years 2020 and 2021. The exact timing of these charges and cash outflows, as well as the estimated cost ranges by category type, have not been finalized. This information will be subject to the finalization of timetables for the transition of functions, consultation with employees and their representatives as well as the statutory severance requirements of the particular jurisdictions impacted, and the amount and timing of the actual charges may vary due to a variety of factors. Our estimates for the charges discussed above exclude any potential income tax effects.
The 2020 Restructuring Plan, once complete, is expected to yield annualized cost savings beginning in fiscal year 2021 of approximately $40.0 million. We expect cost savings of $25.0 million during fiscal year 2020.

Non-GAAP (Core) Financial Measures
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations include certain non-GAAP financial measures as identified in the reconciliations below. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed herein do not have standard meaning and may vary from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies or how we may calculate those measures in other instances from time to time. 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.

28


Management 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 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, other than temporary impairment on securities, restructuring of securities loss, 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.
We determine 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.
We are reporting “core” operating income, “core” earnings and adjusted free cash flow to provide investors with an additional method for assessing operating income and earnings, by presenting what we believe are our “core” manufacturing operations. A significant portion (based on the respective values) of the items that are excluded for purposes of calculating “core” operating income and “core” earnings also impacted certain balance sheet assets, resulting in a portion of an asset being written off without a corresponding recovery of cash we may have previously spent with respect to the asset. In the case of restructuring and related charges, we may make associated cash payments in the future. In addition, although, for purposes of calculating “core” operating income and “core” earnings, we exclude stock-based compensation expense (which we anticipate continuing to incur in the future) because it is a non-cash expense, the associated stock issued may result in an increase in our outstanding shares of stock, which may result in the dilution of our stockholders’ ownership interest. We encourage you to consider these matters when evaluating the utility of these non-GAAP financial measures.
Adjusted free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities plus cash receipts on sold receivables 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 shareholders.
Included in the tables below are reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures as provided in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements:

In fiscal year 2019, the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" resulted in a reclassification of cash flows from operating activities to investing activities for cash receipts for the deferred purchase price receivable on asset-backed securitization transactions. The adoption of this standard does not reflect a change in the underlying business or activities. The effects of this change are applied retrospectively to all prior periods.

Acquisitions and Expansion
During fiscal year 2018, the Company and Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies (“JJMD”) entered into a Framework Agreement to form a strategic collaboration and expand our existing relationship. The strategic collaboration expands our medical device manufacturing portfolio, diversification and capabilities.
On February 25, 2019 and April 29, 2019, under the terms of the Framework Agreement, we completed the initial and second closings, respectively, of our acquisition of certain assets of JJMD. The preliminary aggregate purchase price paid for the initial and second closings was approximately $163.1 million in cash, which remains subject to certain post-closing adjustments. For the initial and second closings, total assets acquired of $169.4 million and total liabilities assumed of $6.3 million were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition dates.
On September 30, 2019, under the terms of the Framework Agreement, we completed the third closing of our acquisition of certain assets of JJMD. The preliminary aggregate purchase price paid for the third closing was approximately $106.9 million in cash, which remains subject to certain post-closing adjustments based on conditions within the Framework Agreement. For the third closing, total assets acquired of $185.0 million, including $83.2 million in contract assets, $35.1 million in inventory and $55.7 million in goodwill, and total liabilities assumed of $78.1 million, including $58.8 million of pension obligations, were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition dates. There were no intangible assets identified in this acquisition and the goodwill is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce. The majority of the goodwill is currently not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
The acquisition of the JJMD assets have been accounted for as separate business combinations for each closing using the acquisition method of accounting. We are currently evaluating the fair values of the assets and liabilities related to these business combinations. The preliminary estimates and measurements are, therefore, subject to change during the measurement period for assets acquired, liabilities assumed and tax adjustments. The results of operations were included in our consolidated financial results beginning on February 25, 2019 for the initial closing, April 29, 2019 for the second closing and September 30, 2019 for the third closing. We believe it is impracticable to provide pro forma information for the acquisition of the JJMD assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that our level of liquidity sources, which includes available borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and commercial paper program, additional proceeds available under our asset-backed securitization programs and under our uncommitted trade accounts receivable sale programs, cash on hand, funds provided by operations and the access to the capital markets, will be adequate to fund our capital expenditures, the payment of any declared quarterly dividends, approved share repurchase programs, any potential acquisitions and our working capital requirements for the next 12 months. We continue to assess our capital structure and evaluate the merits of redeploying available cash to reduce existing debt or repurchase common stock.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of November 30, 2019, we had approximately $719.8 million in cash and cash equivalents. As our growth remains predominantly outside of the United States, a significant portion of such cash and cash equivalents are held by our foreign subsidiaries. Most of our cash and cash equivalents as of November 30, 2019 could be repatriated to the United States without potential tax consequences.

As of November 30, 2019, we had $2.6 billion in available unused borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities. The revolving credit facility supports commercial paper outstanding, if any. We have a borrowing capacity of up to $1.8 billion under our commercial paper program.
We have a shelf registration statement with the SEC registering the potential sale of an indeterminate amount of debt and equity securities in the future to augment our liquidity and capital resources.

Our Senior Notes and our credit facilities contain various financial and nonfinancial covenants. A violation of these covenants could negatively impact our liquidity by restricting our ability to borrow under the notes payable and credit facilities and potentially causing acceleration of amounts due under these notes payable and credit facilities. As of November 30, 2019, we were in compliance with our debt covenants. Refer to Note 5 – “Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
Asset-Backed Securitization and Trade Accounts Receivable Sale Programs
Asset-Backed Securitization Programs
We continuously sell designated pools of trade accounts receivable, at a discount, under our foreign asset-backed securitization program and our North American asset-backed securitization program to special purpose entities, which in turn sell certain of the foreign asset-backed receivables to an unaffiliated financial institution and a conduit administered by an unaffiliated financial institution and certain of the North American asset-backed receivables to conduits administered by an unaffiliated financial institution on a monthly basis.
The foreign asset-backed securitization program contains a guarantee of payment by the special purpose entity, in an amount approximately equal to the net cash proceeds under the program. No liability has been recorded for obligations under the guarantee as of November 30, 2019.
Certain unsold receivables covering the maximum amount of net cash proceeds available under the North American asset-backed securitization program are pledged as collateral to the unaffiliated financial institution as of November 30, 2019.

(10) 
We entered into two new trade accounts receivable sale programs on December 5, 2019 with maximum amounts of $500.0 million and CHF 100.0 million, respectively.
During the three months ended November 30, 2019, we sold $2.0 billion of trade accounts receivable under these programs and we received cash proceeds of $2.0 billion. As of November 30, 2019, we had up to $1.4 billion in available liquidity under our trade accounts receivable sale programs.
Capital Expenditures
For fiscal year 2020, we anticipate our net capital expenditures will be approximately $800.0 million. Our capital expenditures will support ongoing maintenance in our DMS and EMS segments and investments in new markets. The amount of actual capital expenditures may be affected by general economic, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors, among other things.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended November 30, 2019 was primarily due to non-cash expenses and an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, partially offset by increased accounts receivable, inventories and contract assets. The increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities is primarily due to an increase in materials purchases due to increased demand in the cloud business, the timing of purchases and cash payments as well as an increase due to the timing of collections on accounts receivable sale programs. The increase in accounts receivable is primarily driven by higher sales and the timing of collections. The increase in inventories supports expected sales levels in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 and also is due to increased demand. The increase in contract assets primarily due to the timing of revenue recognition for over time customers.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended November 30, 2019 consisted primarily of capital expenditures principally to support ongoing business in the DMS and EMS segments and expenditures for assets acquired in connection with the third closing of the acquisition of certain assets of JJMD, partially offset by proceeds and advances from the sale of property, plant and equipment.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended November 30, 2019 was primarily due to: (i) payments for debt agreements, (ii) the repurchase of our common stock and (iii) dividend payments. Net cash used in financing activities was partially offset by borrowings under debt agreements.
Contractual Obligations
As of the date of this report, there were no material changes, other than those disclosed below, outside the ordinary course of business, since August 31, 2019 to our contractual obligations and commitments.
In connection with the third closing of the acquisition of certain assets of JJMD, we assumed additional contractual obligations related to postretirement benefit plans and executed certain financing leases. The following table provides details of these assumed obligations:

Dividends and Share Repurchases

34


We currently expect to continue to declare and pay regular quarterly dividends of an amount similar to our past declarations. However, the declaration and payment of future dividends are discretionary and will be subject to determination by our Board of Directors each quarter following its review of our financial performance.
In September 2019, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $600.0 million of our common stock as a part of a two-year capital allocation framework (the “2020 Share Repurchase Program”). As of November 30, 2019, 2.6 million shares had been repurchased for $96.4 million and $503.6 million remains available under the 2020 Share Repurchase Program.

Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act (the “Evaluation”), under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act as of November 30, 2019. Based on the Evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our senior management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As part of the adoption of the new lease standard under ASC Topic 842, Leases, on September 1, 2019, we modified our internal controls over financial reporting. We did not identify any other modifications to our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting for our fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2019.

Exhibit 10.1

JABIL INC.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

(PBRSU EPS - Executive-EU)

This RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of November 7, 2019 (the “Grant Date”) between JABIL INC. a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and                              (the “Grantee”).

Background Information

A. The Board of Directors (the “Board”) and stockholders of the Company previously adopted the 2011 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

B. Section 8 of the Plan provides that the Administrator shall have the discretion and right to grant Stock Awards, including Stock Awards denominated in units representing rights to receive shares, to any Employees or Consultants or Non-Employee Directors, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and any additional terms provided by the Administrator. The Administrator has made a Stock Award grant denominated in units to the Grantee as of the Grant Date pursuant to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.

C. The Grantee desires to accept the Stock Award grant and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement.

D. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Agreement.

Agreement

1. Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee _____ restricted stock units (the “Restricted Stock Units”) as of the Grant Date. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive a Share of Common Stock if the Restricted Stock Unit becomes vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with Section 2 or Section 3 of this Agreement. The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, no dividend rights and no voting rights with respect to the Restricted Stock Units or the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units unless and until the Restricted Stock Units become vested and non-forfeitable and such Shares are delivered to the Grantee in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement. The Grantee is required to pay no cash consideration for the grant of the Restricted Stock Units. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Restricted Stock Units and related rights are nontransferable as provided in Section 5 of this Agreement, (ii) the Restricted Stock Units are subject to forfeiture in the event the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates in certain circumstances, as specified in Section 6 of this Agreement, (iii) sales of Shares of Common Stock delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the Company’s policies regulating trading by Employees and Consultants, including any applicable “blackout” or other designated periods in which sales of Shares are not permitted, (iv) Shares delivered in settlement will be subject to any recoupment or “clawback” policy of the Company, regardless of whether such recoupment or “clawback” policy is applied with prospective or retroactive effect, and (v) any entitlement to dividend equivalents will be in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement. The extent to which the Grantee’s rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units becomes vested and non-forfeitable shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement.


2. Vesting.

(a) Except as may be otherwise provided in Section 3 or Section 6 of this Agreement, the vesting of the Grantee’s rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units shall be determined in accordance with this Section 2. The extent to which the Grantee’s interest in the Restricted Stock Units becomes vested and non-forfeitable shall be based upon the satisfaction of the performance goal specified in this Section 2 (the “Performance Goal”), subject to Section 3. The Performance Goal shall be based upon the Cumulative EPS (“Cumulative EPS”) of the Company’s adjusted core earnings per share (as defined below) during the three-year period beginning September 1, 2019 and ending on August 31, 2022 (the “Performance Period”). The Cumulative EPS for the Performance Period shall be measured on August 31, 2022 (“Measurement Date”) (subject to adjustment under Section 7(b)). For purposes of this Agreement, “adjusted core earnings per share” means the Company’s net income determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), 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 Cumulative 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence, in the event that, as determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) and due to a required change in GAAP, tax laws and regulations or an extraordinary and material event in the Company’s business (each of the foregoing events being referred to herein as a “Material Event”), “adjusted core earnings per share” determined after the occurrence of a Material Event would be materially different as a result of the occurrence thereof, the Committee may instruct the Company to determine “adjusted core earnings per share” for such period, solely for purposes of this Agreement, as if the Material Event had not happened or was not effective. Such instruction may be limited to apply to fiscal years in which the cumulative effect did not account for the occurrence of the Material Event.

(b) The portion of the Grantee’s rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units, if any, that becomes vested and non-forfeitable on the Determination Date (as defined below) following the Performance Period shall be determined at the Measurement Date in accordance with the following schedule:

 

2


Cumulative EPS for Three

Fiscal Years Beginning

September 1, 2019 and Ending

August 31, 2022

   Percentage of
Shares Vested
 

Below $9.75

     0

$9.75

     20

$11.65

     100

$12.50

     150

Notwithstanding the foregoing schedule, no fractional Shares shall be issued, and subject to the preceding limitation on the number of Shares available under this Agreement (that is, 150 percent of the related Shares), any fractional Share that would have resulted from the foregoing calculations shall be rounded up to the next whole Share.

(c) The applicable portion of the Restricted Stock Units shall become vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with this Section 2, subject to the Committee determining that the corresponding Performance Goal and all other conditions for the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units have been satisfied; provided the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director has not terminated before the Determination Date, as defined herein. This determination shall be made within ninety (90) days after the last day of the Performance Period (“Determination Date”). The Committee shall make this determination, provided that, for any Grantee who is not an “officer” of the Company for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the determination may be made by such Grantee’s divisional Executive Vice President or Chief Executive Officer, by the Chief Operating Officer of the Company or by the President of the Company (each, an “Authorized Officer”). The Committee’s or Authorized Officer’s good faith determination shall be final, binding and conclusive on all persons, including, but not limited to, the Company and the Grantee. The Committee or such Authorized Officer may, in its discretion, reduce the amount of compensation otherwise to be paid or earned in connection with this award, notwithstanding the level of achievement of the Performance Goal or any contrary provision of the Plan; provided no such reduction may be made after a Change in Control. The Grantee shall not be entitled to any claim or recourse if any action or inaction by the Company, or any other circumstance or event, including any circumstance or event outside the control of the Grantee, adversely affects the ability of the Grantee to satisfy the Performance Goal or in any way prevents the satisfaction of the Performance Goal.

3. Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that is not yet vested on the date such Change in Control is determined to have occurred:

(a) shall become fully vested on the first anniversary of the date of such Change in Control (the “Change in Control Anniversary”) if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director does not terminate prior to the Change in Control Anniversary;

(b) shall become fully vested on the Date of Termination if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates prior to the Change in Control Anniversary as a result of termination by the Company without Cause or resignation by the Grantee for Good Reason; or

 

3


(c) shall not become fully vested if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates prior to the Change in Control Anniversary as a result of termination by the Company for Cause or resignation by the Grantee without Good Reason, but only to the extent such Restricted Stock Units have not previously become vested.

For purposes of this Agreement, the references to “fully vested” refer to vesting of the number of Restricted Stock Units that would vest upon achievement of the maximum level of achievement of the Performance Goal under Section 2 at the Measurement Date. This Section 3 shall supersede the standard vesting provision contained in Section 2 of this Agreement only to the extent that it results in accelerated vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, and it shall not result in a delay of any vesting or non-vesting of any Restricted Stock Units that otherwise would occur at the Measurement Date during the Performance Period under the terms of the standard vesting provision contained in Section 2 of this Agreement.

For purposes of this Section 3, the following definitions shall apply:

(d) “Cause” means:

(i) The Grantee’s conviction of a crime involving fraud or dishonesty; or

(ii) The Grantee’s continued willful or reckless material misconduct in the performance of the Grantee’s duties after receipt of written notice from the Company concerning such misconduct;

provided, however, that for purposes of Section 3(d)(ii), Cause shall not include any one or more of the following: bad judgment, negligence or any act or omission believed by the Grantee in good faith to have been in or not opposed to the interest of the Company (without intent of the Grantee to gain, directly or indirectly, a profit to which the Grantee was not legally entitled).

(e) “Good Reason” means:

(i) The assignment to the Grantee of any duties adverse to the Grantee and materially inconsistent with the Grantee’s position (including status, titles and reporting requirement), authority, duties or responsibilities, or any other action by the Company that results in a material diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action that is not taken in bad faith;

(ii) Any material reduction in the Grantee’s compensation; or

(iii) Change in location of the Grantee’s assigned office of more than 35 miles without prior consent of the Grantee.

 

4


The Grantee’s resignation will not constitute a resignation for Good Reason unless the Grantee first provides written notice to the Company of the existence of the Good Reason within 90 days following the effective date of the occurrence of the Good Reason, and the Good Reason remains uncorrected by the Company for more than 30 days following receipt of such written notice of the Good Reason from the Grantee to the Company, and the effective date of the Grantee’s resignation is within one year following the effective date of the occurrence of the Good Reason.

4. Timing and Manner of Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.

(a) Settlement Timing. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units become vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with Section 2, Section 3 or Section 6 of this Agreement, the Grantee will have no right to settlement of any such Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units will be settled under this Section 4 by the Company delivering to the Grantee (or his beneficiary in the event of death) a number of Shares equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units that have become vested and non-forfeitable and are to be settled at the applicable settlement date. In the case of Restricted Stock Units that become vested and non-forfeitable at the Determination Date in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement (including Restricted Stock Units not forfeited by operation of Section 6(a) or 6(c)), such Restricted Stock Units will be settled at a date that is as prompt as practicable after the Determination Date but in no event later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the Determination Date (settlement that is prompt but in no event later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the applicable vesting date is referred to herein as “Prompt Settlement”). The settlement of Restricted Stock Units that become vested and non-forfeitable in circumstances governed by Section 3 or Section 6(b) will be as follows:

(i) Restricted Stock Units that do not constitute a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A will be settled as follows:

(A) Restricted Stock Units that become vested in accordance with Section 6(b) (due to the Grantee’s death) will be settled within the period extending to not later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the later of the end of calendar year or the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which death occurred; and

(B) Restricted Stock Units that become vested in accordance with Section 3(a) (on the Change in Control Anniversary) or Section 3(b) (during the year following a Change in Control) will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the applicable vesting date under Section 3(a) or 3(b).

(ii) Restricted Stock Units that constitute a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A (“409A RSUs”) will be settled as follows:

(A) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 6(b) (due to the Grantee’s death) will be settled on the 30th day after the date of the Grantee’s death;

(B) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 3(a) (on the Change in Control Anniversary), if in connection with the Change in Control there occurred a change in the ownership of the Company, a change in effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(5) (a “409A

 

5


Change in Control”), will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the first anniversary of the 409A Change in Control, and if there occurred no 409A Change in Control in connection with the Change in Control, such 409A RSUs will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the earliest of the Determination Date, one year after a 409A Change in Control not related to the Change in Control or the termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director, subject to Section 9(b) (including the six-month delay rule); and

(C) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 3(b) (during the year following a Change in Control) will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director, subject to Section 9(b) (including the six-month delay rule).

(b) Manner of Settlement. The Company may make delivery of shares of Common Stock in settlement of Restricted Stock Units by either delivering one or more certificates representing such Shares to the Grantee (or his beneficiary in the event of death), registered in the name of the Grantee (and any joint name, if so directed by the Grantee), or by depositing such Shares into a stock brokerage account maintained for the Grantee (or of which the Grantee is a joint owner, with the consent of the Grantee). In no event will the Company issue fractional Shares.

(c) Effect of Settlement. Neither the Grantee nor any of the Grantee’s successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives shall have any further rights or interests in any Restricted Stock Units that have been paid and settled. Although a settlement date or range of dates for settlement are specified above in order to comply with Code Section 409A, the Company retains discretion to determine the settlement date, and no Grantee or beneficiary of a Grantee shall have any claim for damages or loss by virtue of the fact that the market price of Common Stock was higher on a given date upon which settlement could have been made as compared to the market price on or after the actual settlement date (any claim relating to settlement will be limited to a claim for delivery of Shares and related dividend equivalents).

5. Restrictions on Transfer. The Grantee shall not have the right to make or permit to occur any transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock Units, related rights to dividend equivalents or any other rights relating thereto, whether outright or as security, with or without consideration, voluntary or involuntary, and the Restricted Stock Units, related rights to dividend equivalents and other rights relating thereto, shall not be subject to execution, attachment, lien, or similar process; provided, however, the Grantee will be entitled to designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any settlement in respect of the Restricted Stock Units upon the death of the Grantee, in the manner and to the extent permitted by the Administrator. Any purported transfer or other transaction not permitted under this Section 5 shall be deemed null and void.

6. Forfeiture. Except as may be otherwise provided in this Section 6, the Grantee shall forfeit all of his rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units and related dividend equivalents if his Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates for any reason before the Restricted Stock Units become vested in accordance with Section 2 or Section 3 of this Agreement.

 

6


(a) Retirement. In the event of the Grantee’s Retirement in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6(a), the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall be treated as not having terminated for a number of years determined in accordance with this Section 6(a) for purposes of application of the vesting provisions of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 6(a), “Retirement” means termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director after the Grant Date or the end of the Company fiscal year in the Performance Period at which the Grantee has completed twenty (20) Full Years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director.

For purposes of this Section 6(a), “Full Year” means a twelve-month period beginning on the date of the Grantee’s commencement of service for the Company or a Subsidiary and each anniversary thereof. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6(a), the time period of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director for a Grantee whose service with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates and who subsequently returns to service with the Company or a Subsidiary shall include all time periods of the Grantee’s service for the Company or a Subsidiary for purposes of this Section 6(a). This Section 6(a) will only apply to a Retirement if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director does not terminate due to Cause as defined in this Agreement. In addition, this Section 6(a) will only apply to a Retirement if the Grantee executes the agreement, if any, required under Section 6(d). For a Grantee who became an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director of the Company or a Subsidiary following the acquisition of his or her employer by the Company or a Subsidiary, service with the acquired employer shall not count toward the number of years of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director for purposes of this Section 6(a), and Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall be measured from the commencement of the Grantee’s service for the Company or a Subsidiary following such acquisition. For purposes of this Section 6(a), the number of years of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall also include service with Jabil Circuit Co., a Michigan corporation and predecessor to the Company, and any Predecessor Subsidiary. For purposes of this Section 6(a), “Predecessor Subsidiary” means a company of which not less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares were held by Jabil Circuit Co. or a Predecessor Subsidiary. For purposes of this Section 6(a), for a Grantee who subsequent to the Grant Date performs service for the Company or a Subsidiary in a role as an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary that no longer includes being a state law officer of the Company or an employee of the Company with a title that is at least the equivalent of Vice President, or a substantially equivalent position of a Subsidiary (“Subsequent Non-Officer Service”), the time period of such Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall not include the time period of any such Subsequent Non-Officer Service, but shall include any time period during which such Grantee subsequently resumes service for the Company or a Subsidiary in a role as an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary that includes being a state law officer of the Company or an employee of the Company with a title that is at least the equivalent of Vice President, or a substantially equivalent position of a Subsidiary.

 

7


If this Section 6(a) applies to the Grantee’s Retirement, the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall be treated as not having terminated for the number of years beginning on the effective date of the Retirement, or the remaining portion of the vesting period, whichever is applicable, in accordance with the following table based on the Grantee’s age and full years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director at the later of the Grant Date or the Company’s fiscal year-end next preceding the effective date of the Retirement:

 

Full Years of Continuous Status as an Employee or

Consultant or Non-Employee Director

20 Years    25 Years    30 or More Years
2 years    3 years    Full vesting period

Accordingly, upon such Retirement, Restricted Stock Units that otherwise would be forfeited because such Restricted Stock Units remain unvested (and not previously forfeited) at the effective date of the Retirement will not be forfeited if the Determination Date would have been reached had the Grantee remained in Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director for the additional period specified in the table above. Vesting of such Restricted Stock Units will remain subject to Section 2, and settlement of such Restricted Stock Units will remain subject to Section 4. Any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that could not potentially become vested under Section 2 assuming the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director as set forth in the above table will be forfeited upon Retirement. The death of the Grantee following Retirement or a Change in Control following Retirement shall not affect the application of this Section 6(a), although such events will trigger a settlement of the Restricted Stock Units not forfeited by operation of this Section 6(a) in accordance with Section 4.

(b) Death. In the event that the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates due to death at a time that the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units have not yet vested, a pro rata portion of the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units shall vest as follows: First, for purposes of Section 2, the Company shall determine the actual level of the Performance Goal achieved (such determination may be by means of a good faith estimate) as of the Company’s fiscal quarter-end coincident with or next preceding the Grantee’s death (or, if the Grantee’s death occurs in the first fiscal quarter of the Performance Period, then the Company’s fiscal quarter-end coincident with or next following the Grantee’s death) and calculating, on a preliminary basis, the resulting number of Restricted Stock Units that would have become vested (based on such calculation) as of the Determination Date. Second, a pro rata portion of that number of Restricted Stock Units will be calculated by multiplying that number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months from the first day of the Performance Period through the date of death (rounding any partial month to the next whole month) and the denominator of which is 36. No fractional Shares shall be issued, and subject to the limitation under Section 2(b) on the number of related Shares available under this Agreement (that is, 150 percent of the related Shares), any fractional Share that would have resulted from the foregoing calculations shall be rounded up to the next whole Share. Any Restricted Stock Units that were unvested at the date of death and that exceed the pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units that become vested under this Section 6(b) shall be forfeited.

 

8


(c) Disability. In the event that the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates due to Disability at a time that the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units have not yet vested, a pro rata portion of the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units shall remain outstanding and shall be eligible for future vesting based on the actual level of achievement in the Performance Period, provided, however, that non-forfeiture of such Restricted Stock Units will only apply if the Grantee executes the agreement, if any, required under Section 6(d). The pro rata portion shall be calculated by multiplying the number of Restricted Stock Units originally granted by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months from the first day of the Performance Period through the date of termination (rounding any partial month to the next whole month) and the denominator of which is 36. No fractional Shares shall be issued, and subject to the limitation under Section 2(b) on the number of related Shares available under this Agreement (that is, 150 percent of the related Shares), any fractional Share that would have resulted from the foregoing calculations shall be rounded up to the next whole Share. Vesting of such Restricted Stock Units will remain subject to Section 2, and settlement of such Restricted Stock Units will remain subject to Section 4. The death of the Grantee following a termination governed by this Section 6(c), or a Change in Control following such termination, shall not increase or decrease the number of Restricted Stock Units forfeited or not forfeited under this Section 6(c), although such events will trigger a settlement of the Restricted Stock Units not forfeited by operation of this Section 6(c) in accordance with Section 4. Any Restricted Stock Units that at any time after the date of a termination governed by this Section 6(c) exceed the pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units that remain outstanding and potentially subject to future vesting under this Section 6(c) shall be forfeited.

(d) Execution of Separation Agreement and Release. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, as a condition to the non-forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units upon Retirement under Section 6(a) or upon a termination due to Disability under Section 6(c), the Grantee shall be required to execute a separation agreement and release, in a form prescribed by the Administrator, setting forth covenants relating to noncompetition, nonsolicitation, nondisparagement, confidentiality and similar covenants for the protection of the Company’s business, and releasing the Company from liability in connection with the Grantee’s termination. Such agreement shall provide for the forfeiture and/or clawback of the Restricted Stock Units subject to Section 6(a) or 6(c), and the Shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, in the event of the Grantee’s failure to comply with the terms of such agreement. The Administrator will provide the form of such agreement to the Grantee at the date of termination, and the Grantee must execute and return such form within the period specified by law or, if no such period is specified, within 21 days after receipt of the form of agreement, and not revoke such agreement within any permitted revocation period (the end of these periods being the “Agreement Effectiveness Deadline”). If any Restricted Stock Units subject to Section 6(a) or 6(c) or related rights would be required to be settled before the Agreement Effectiveness Deadline, the settlement shall not be delayed pending the receipt and effectiveness of the agreement, but any such Restricted Stock Units or related rights settled before such receipt and effectiveness shall be subject to a “clawback” (repaying to the Company the Shares and cash paid upon settlement) in the event that the agreement is not received and effective and not revoked by the Agreement Effectiveness Deadline.

7. Dividend Equivalents; Adjustments.

(a) Dividend Equivalents. During the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the date that Shares are issued in settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit, the Grantee will accrue dividend equivalents on Restricted Stock Units equal to the cash dividend or distribution that would have been paid on the Restricted Stock Unit had the Restricted Stock Unit been an issued and outstanding Share of Common Stock on the record date for the dividend or distribution. Such accrued dividend equivalents (i) will vest and become payable upon the same terms and at the same time of settlement as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate, and (ii) will be denominated and payable solely in cash. Dividend equivalent payments, at settlement, will be net of applicable federal, state, local and foreign income and social insurance withholding taxes (subject to Section 8).

(b) Adjustments. The number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the Grantee, and each adjusted core earnings per share amount and Cumulative EPS amount specified for purposes of the Performance Goal, shall be subject to adjustment by the Company, in accordance with Section 13 of the Plan, in order to preserve without enlarging the Grantee’s rights with respect to such Restricted Stock Units. Any such adjustment shall be made taking into account any crediting of cash dividend equivalents to the Grantee under Section 7(a) in connection with such transaction or event. In the case of an extraordinary cash dividend, the Committee may determine to adjust the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units under this Section 7(b) in lieu of crediting cash dividend equivalents under Section 7(a). Restricted Stock Units credited to the Grantee as a result of an adjustment shall be subject to the same forfeiture and settlement terms as applied to the related Restricted Stock Units prior to the adjustment.

8. Responsibility for Taxes and Withholding. Regardless of any action the Company, any of its Subsidiaries and/or the Grantee’s employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or any of its affiliates, if any. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the delivery of Shares, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such delivery and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of any award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

 

10


(a) withholding from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries; or

(b) withholding in Shares to be delivered upon settlement; or

(c) withholding from dividend equivalent payments (payable in cash) related to the Shares to be delivered at settlement.

To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable withholding rates but not exceeding the maximum statutory withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares attributable to the awarded Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.

Finally, the Grantee shall pay to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that are not satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

9. Code Section 409A.

(a) General. Payments made pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code or to otherwise comply with Section 409A of the Code. Accordingly, other provisions of the Plan or this Agreement notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 9 will apply in order that the Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, will be exempt from or otherwise comply with Code Section 409A. In addition, the Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and/or this Agreement to ensure that all Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, are exempt from or otherwise comply, and in operation comply, with Code Section 409A (including, without limitation, the avoidance of penalties thereunder). Other provisions of the Plan and this Agreement notwithstanding, the Company makes no representations that the Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, will be exempt from or avoid any penalties that may apply under Code Section 409A, makes no undertaking to preclude Code Section 409A from applying to the Restricted Stock Units and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, and will not indemnify or provide a gross up payment to a Grantee (or his beneficiary) for any taxes, interest or penalties imposed under Code Section 409A.

(b) Restrictions on 409A RSUs. In the case of any 409A RSUs, the following restrictions will apply:

(i) Separation from Service. Any payment in settlement of the 409A RSUs that is triggered by a termination of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director (or other termination of employment) hereunder will occur only if the Grantee has had a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h), with such separation from service treated as the termination for purposes of determining the timing of any settlement based on such termination.

 

11


(ii) Six-Month Delay Rule. The “six-month delay rule” will apply to 409A RSUs if these four conditions are met:

(A) the Grantee has a separation from service (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h)) for a reason other than death;

(B) a payment in settlement is triggered by such separation from service; and

(C) the Grantee is a “specified employee” under Code Section 409A.

If it applies, the six-month delay rule will delay a settlement of 409A RSUs triggered by separation from service where the settlement otherwise would occur within six months after the separation from service, subject to the following:

(D) any delayed payment shall be made on the date six months and one day after separation from service;

(E) during the six-month delay period, accelerated settlement will be permitted in the event of the Grantee’s death and for no other reason (including no acceleration upon a Change in Control) except to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A; and

(F) any settlement that is not triggered by a separation from service, or is triggered by a separation from service but would be made more than six months after separation (without applying this six-month delay rule), shall be unaffected by the six-month delay rule.

(c) Other Compliance Provisions. The following provisions apply to Restricted Stock Units:

(i) Each tranche of Restricted Stock Units (including dividend equivalents accrued thereon) that potentially could vest at or following a Determination Date under Section 2 shall be deemed a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A.

(ii) The settlement of 409A RSUs may not be accelerated by the Company except to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A. The Company may, however, accelerate vesting (i.e., may waive the risk of forfeiture tied to termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director) of 409A RSUs, without changing the settlement terms of such 409A RSUs.

(iii) It is understood that Good Reason for purposes of this Agreement is limited to circumstances that qualify under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(n)(2).

 

12


(iv) Any restriction imposed on 409A RSUs hereunder or under the terms of other documents solely to ensure compliance with Code Section 409A shall not be applied to a Restricted Stock Unit that is not a 409A RSU except to the extent necessary to preserve the status of such Restricted Stock Unit as not being a “deferral of compensation” under Code Section 409A.

(v) If any mandatory term required for 409A RSUs or other RSUs, or related dividend equivalents or other related rights, to avoid tax penalties under Code Section 409A is not otherwise explicitly provided under this document or other applicable documents, such term is hereby incorporated by reference and fully applicable as though set forth at length herein.

(vi) In the case of any settlement of Restricted Stock Units during a specified period following the Determination Date or other date triggering a right to settlement, the Grantee shall have no influence on any determination as to the tax year in which the settlement will be made.

(vii) In the case of any Restricted Stock Unit that is not a 409A RSU, if the circumstances arise constituting a Disability but termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director has not in fact resulted immediately without an election by the Grantee, then only the Company or a Subsidiary may elect to terminate the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director due to such Disability.

(viii) If the Company has a right of setoff that could apply to a 409A RSU, such right may only be exercised at the time the 409A RSU would have been settled, and may be exercised only as a setoff against an obligation that arose not more than 30 days before and within the same year as the settlement date if application of such setoff right against an earlier obligation would not be permitted under Code Section 409A.

10. No Effect on Employment or Rights under the Plan. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee the right to continue in the employment of the Company or any Subsidiary or affect any right which the Company or any Subsidiary may have to terminate the employment of the Grantee regardless of the effect of such termination of employment on the rights of the Grantee under the Plan or this Agreement. If the Grantee’s employment is terminated for any reason whatsoever (and whether lawful or otherwise), he will not be entitled to claim any compensation for or in respect of any consequent diminution or extinction of his rights or benefits (actual or prospective) under this Agreement or any Award or otherwise in connection with the Plan. The rights and obligations of the Grantee under the terms of his employment with the Company or any Subsidiary will not be affected by his participation in the Plan or this Agreement, and neither the Plan nor this Agreement form part of any contract of employment between the Grantee and the Company or any Subsidiary. The granting of Awards under the Plan is entirely at the discretion of the Administrator, and the Grantee shall not in any circumstances have any right to be granted an Award.

11. Governing Laws. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

12. Successors; Severability; Entire Agreement; Headings. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and the Grantee and their heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. In the event that any one or more of the provisions or portion thereof contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the same shall not invalidate or otherwise affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof had never been contained herein. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and any rules adopted by the Company or the Administrator and applicable to this Agreement, which are incorporated herein by reference, this Agreement expresses the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to such terms, restrictions and limitations. Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in construing this Agreement.

13. Grantee Acknowledgements and Consents.

(a) Data Privacy. As communicated in Jabil’s Notice of Data Collection, Processing and Transfer of Employee Personal Data, as updated from time to time.

Data Collection and Usage. The Company collects, processes and uses personal data about the Grantee, including but not limited to, the Grantee’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all awards, rights or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Grantee or the Grantee’s employer. In order for the Grantee to participate in the Plan, the Company will collect his or her personal data for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis for the processing of the Grantee’s personal data is based on the necessity for Company’s performance of its obligations under the Plan and pursuant to the Company’s legitimate business interests.

Stock Plan Administration and Service Providers. The Company may transfer the Grantee’s data to one or more third party stock plan service providers based in the United States (“U.S.”), which may assist the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Such service provider(s) may open an account for the Grantee to receive and trade Shares. The Grantee may be asked to acknowledge, or agree to, separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider(s).

International Data Transfers. The Grantee’s personal data will be transferred from the Grantee’s country to the U.S., where the Company and its service providers are based. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of the Grantee’s data to the U.S. is that it is authorized by the Company’s participation in the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and/or its use of the standard data protection clauses adopted by the EU Commission.

Data Retention. The Company will use the Grantee’s personal data only as long as necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’s participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws. When the Company no longer needs the Grantee’s personal data, which will generally be seven (7) years after the Grantee participates in the Plan, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps the data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be relevant laws or regulations.

 

14


Data Subject Rights. The Grantee understands that he or she may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in the Grantee’s jurisdiction. Depending on where the Grantee is based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data processed by the Company, (ii) rectification of incorrect data, (iii) deletion of data, (iv) restrictions on processing of data, (v) portability of data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Grantee’s jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Grantee’s personal data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, the Grantee can contact his or her local human resources department.

(b) Voluntary Participation. The Grantee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary. The value of the Restricted Stock Units is an extraordinary item of compensation. Unless otherwise expressly provided in a separate agreement between the Grantee and the Company or a Subsidiary, the Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.

(c) Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT ELECTRONICALLY, THE GRANTEE HEREBY CONSENTS TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF THE PLAN, THE PROSPECTUS FOR THE PLAN AND OTHER DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THE PLAN (COLLECTIVELY, THE “PLAN DOCUMENTS”). THE COMPANY WILL DELIVER THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ELECTRONICALLY TO THE GRANTEE BY E-MAIL, BY POSTING SUCH DOCUMENTS ON ITS INTRANET WEBSITE OR BY ANOTHER MODE OF ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AS DETERMINED BY THE COMPANY IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT ELECTRONICALLY, THE GRANTEE CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT SUCH PROCEDURES AND DELIVERY MAY BE EFFECTED BY A BROKER OR THIRD PARTY ENGAGED BY THE COMPANY TO PROVIDE ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES RELATED TO THE PLAN. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT ELECTRONICALLY, THE GRANTEE HEREBY CONSENTS TO ANY AND ALL PROCEDURES THE COMPANY HAS ESTABLISHED OR MAY ESTABLISH FOR ANY ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE SYSTEM FOR DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE OF ANY PLAN DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING THIS AGREEMENT, THAT THE COMPANY MAY ELECT TO DELIVER AND AGREES THAT HIS ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE IS THE SAME AS, AND WILL HAVE THE SAME FORCE AND EFFECT AS, HIS MANUAL SIGNATURE. THE COMPANY WILL SEND TO THE GRANTEE AN E-MAIL ANNOUNCEMENT WHEN THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE ELECTRONICALLY FOR THE GRANTEE’S REVIEW, DOWNLOAD OR PRINTING AND WILL PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS ON WHERE THE PLAN DOCUMENTS CAN BE FOUND. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING BY THE COMPANY, THE GRANTEE WILL NOT INCUR ANY COSTS FOR RECEIVING THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ELECTRONICALLY THROUGH THE COMPANY’S COMPUTER NETWORK. THE GRANTEE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE PAPER COPIES OF ANY PLAN DOCUMENT BY SENDING A WRITTEN REQUEST FOR A PAPER COPY TO THE ADMINISTRATOR. THE GRANTEE’S CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF THE PLAN DOCUMENTS WILL BE VALID AND REMAIN EFFECTIVE UNTIL THE EARLIER OF (i) THE TERMINATION OF THE GRANTEE’S PARTICIPATION IN THE

 

15


PLAN AND (ii) THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE GRANTEE’S CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE PLAN DOCUMENTS. THE COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE GRANTEE HAS THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO WITHDRAW HIS CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE PLAN DOCUMENTS BY SENDING A WRITTEN NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL TO THE ADMINISTRATOR. IF THE GRANTEE WITHDRAWS HIS CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE, THE COMPANY WILL RESUME SENDING PAPER COPIES OF THE PLAN DOCUMENTS WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF ITS RECEIPT OF THE WITHDRAWAL NOTICE. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT ELECTRONICALLY, THE GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE IS ABLE TO ACCESS, VIEW AND RETAIN AN E-MAIL ANNOUNCEMENT INFORMING THE GRANTEE THAT THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE IN EITHER HTML, PDF OR SUCH OTHER FORMAT AS THE COMPANY DETERMINES IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION.

(d) Unfunded Plan. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that any rights of the Grantee relating to the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights shall constitute bookkeeping entries on the books of the Company and shall not create in the Grantee any right to, or claim against, any specific assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, nor result in the creation of any trust or escrow account for the Grantee. With respect to the Grantee’s entitlement to any payment hereunder, the Grantee shall be a general creditor of the Company.

The Grantee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions relating to the Plan and this Agreement.

15. Country Appendix.

COUNTRY APPENDIX

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD

AGREEMENT

(EU)

This Country Appendix (“Appendix”) includes the following additional terms and conditions that govern the Grantee’s Stock Award for all Grantees that reside and/or work in a European Union jurisdiction.

Notifications

This Country Appendix also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Grantee should be aware with respect to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of August 2019. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Grantee not rely on the information in this Country Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that the Restricted Stock Units vest, or Shares are delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, or the Grantee sells any Shares acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Grantee’s particular situation, and none of the Company, its Subsidiaries, nor the Administrator is in a position to assure the Grantee of a particular result. Accordingly, the Grantee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Grantee’s country of residence and/or work may apply to the Grantee’s situation.

Finally, if the Grantee transfers employment after the Grant Date, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes following the Grant Date, the notifications contained herein may not be applicable to the Grantee, and the Administrator shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to the Grantee.

Terms and Conditions Applicable to All EU Jurisdictions

English Language. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that it is the Grantee’s express intent that this Agreement, the Plan and all other documents, rules, procedures, forms, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the Stock Award, be drawn up in English. The Grantee further acknowledges that he or she is sufficiently proficient in English, or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, so as to allow the Grantee to understand the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Plan and any rules, procedures, forms or documents related to the Stock Award. If the Grantee has received this Agreement, the Plan or any other rules, procedures, forms or documents related to the Stock Award translated into a language other than English, and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

 

17


Repatriation; Compliance with Laws. The Grantee agrees, as a condition of the grant of the Stock Award, to repatriate all payments attributable to the Award and/or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends, dividend equivalents, and any proceeds derived from the sale of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Agreement) in accordance with all foreign exchange rules and regulations applicable to the Grantee. The Company and the Administrator reserve the right to impose other requirements on the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, on the Restricted Stock Units and on any Shares acquired or cash payments made pursuant to the Agreement, to the extent the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Administrator determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or to facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Finally, the Grantee agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Grantee’s personal legal and tax obligations under all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Grantee.

Commercial Relationship. The Grantee expressly recognizes that the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and the Company’s Stock Award grant does not constitute an employment relationship between the Grantee and the Company. The Grantee has been granted Stock Awards as a consequence of the commercial relationship between the Company and the Company’s Subsidiary that employs the Grantee, and the Company’s Subsidiary that employs the Grantee is the Grantee’s sole employer. Based on the foregoing, the Grantee expressly recognizes that (a) the Plan and the benefits the Grantee may derive from participation in the Plan do not establish any rights between the Grantee and the Subsidiary that employs the Grantee, (b) the Plan and the benefits the Grantee may derive from participation in the Plan are not part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by the Subsidiary that employs the Grantee, and (c) any modifications or amendments of the Plan by the Company or the Administrator, or a termination of the Plan by the Company, shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Grantee’s employment with the Subsidiary that employs the Grantee.

Private Placement. The grant of the Stock Award is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Grantee’s country of residence and/or employment but instead is intended to be a private placement. As a private placement, the Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under local law), and the grant of the Stock Award is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities.

Additional Acknowledgements. The GRANTEE also acknowledges and agrees to the following:

 

   

The grant of the Stock Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Stock Awards or benefits in lieu of the Stock Award even if Stock Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past.

 

   

The future value of the Shares and any related dividend equivalents is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty.

 

   

No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from the forfeiture of the Stock Award or any of the Restricted Stock Units or related dividend equivalents, the termination of the Plan, or the diminution in value of the Restricted Stock Units or Shares, and the Grantee irrevocably releases the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Administrator and their affiliates from any such claim that may arise.

 

18


   

None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, nor the Administrator is providing any tax, legal or financial advice or making any recommendations regarding the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units, or the Grantee’s acquisition or sale of the Shares delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. The Grantee is hereby advised to consult with his own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

Notifications Applicable to Austria

Consumer Protection Information. If the provisions of the Austrian Consumer Protection Act are applicable to the Agreement and the Plan, the Grantee may be entitled to revoke the Grantee’s acceptance of the Agreement (and thereby revoke his acceptance of the Restricted Stock Units) under the conditions listed below:

(i) If the Grantee accepts the Stock Award, the Grantee may be entitled to revoke the Grantee’s acceptance; provided the revocation is made within one week after such electronic acceptance of the Agreement.

(ii) The revocation must be in written form to be valid and will revoke both acceptance of the Agreement and acceptance of the Restricted Stock Units awarded thereunder. It is sufficient if the Grantee returns the Agreement to the Administrator or a Company representative with language which can be understood as a refusal to conclude or honor the Agreement; provided the revocation is sent within the period discussed above.

Exchange Control Information. The Grantee may be required to comply with certain exchange control obligations if the Grantee holds securities (including Shares) or cash (including proceeds from the sale of such Shares) outside of Austria. If the transaction volume of all of the Grantee’s accounts abroad meets or exceeds €10,000,000, the movement and balance of all accounts must be reported monthly to the Austrian National Bank, as of the last day of the month, on or before the fifteenth day of the following month using the prescribed form “Meldungen SI-Forderungen und/oder SI-Verpflichturngen.”

Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, if the Grantee is determined to be an “Employee,” as defined in Section 2 of the Danish Act on the Use of Rights to Purchase or Subscribe for Shares etc. in Employment Relationships (the “Stock Option Act”), the treatment of the Stock Award upon the Grantee’s termination of employment may be governed by Sections 4 and 5 of the Stock Option Act. However, if the provisions in the Agreement or the Plan governing the treatment of the Stock Award upon termination of employment are more favorable, then the provisions of the Agreement or the Plan shall govern.

Foreign Asset / Account Reporting Information. The new Danish Tax Reporting Act that entered into force on January 1, 2019 removed the rules that previously obligated individuals to inform the Danish Tax Administration about shares held in foreign bank or brokerage accounts and deposit accounts with a foreign bank or broker. The use of the relevant Forms V and K are discontinued as of January 1, 2019 and replaced by automatic exchange of information regarding bank and brokerage accounts.

However, the Grantee must still report foreign bank/broker accounts and their deposits, as well as shares held in a foreign bank or broker account in the Grantee’s tax return under the section on foreign affairs and income.

The Grantee accepts the terms of those documents accordingly. En acceptant l’Attribution et ce Contrat qui contient les termes et conditions de l’Attribution, le Bénéficiaire confirmez avoir lu et compris les documents relatifs à cette attribution (le Plan et le Contrat, ainsi que la présente Annexe) qui vous ont été transmis en langue anglaise.

The Grantee should consult his / her personal advisor to ensure compliance with applicable reporting obligations.

20


Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. If the Grantee’s acquisition of shares under the Plan leads to a so-called qualified participation at any point during the calendar year, the Grantee will need to report the acquisition when he or she files his or her tax return for the relevant year. A qualified participation is attained if the value of the shares acquired exceeds €150,000. The Grantee will be responsible for obtaining the appropriate form from a German federal bank and complying with the applicable reporting obligations.

Notifications Applicable to Ireland

Director Notification Requirement. If the Grantee is a director, shadow director or secretary of the Company’s Irish subsidiaries or affiliates whose interests meet or exceed 1% of the Company’s voting rights, pursuant to Section 53 of the Irish Company Act 1990, the Grantee must notify the Irish subsidiary or affiliate in writing within five business days of receiving or disposing of an interest in the Company (e.g., Restricted Stock Units or Shares), or within five business days of becoming aware of the event giving rise to the notification requirement, or within five business days of becoming a director or secretary if such an interest exists at the time.

Terms and Conditions Applicable to Italy

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. If the Grantee is an Italian resident and holds investments or financial assets outside of Italy (such as cash or Restricted Stock Units) during any fiscal year which may generate income taxable in Italy (or if the Grantee is the beneficial owner of such an investment or asset even if the Grantee does not directly hold the investment or asset), the Grantee is required to report such investments or assets on his / her annual tax return for such fiscal year (on UNICO Form, RW Schedule, or on a special form if the Grantee is not required to file a tax return). The Grantee should consult with his / her personal tax advisor as to whether the reporting obligation applies to the Grantee and whether he / she will be required to report details of any outstanding Stock Awards or Shares held by the Grantee outside of Italy in the Grantee’s relevant annual tax return.

Foreign Asset Tax Information. The value of the financial assets held outside of Italy by Italian residents is subject to a foreign asset tax at an annual rate of 2 per thousand (0.2%). The taxable amount will be the fair market value of the financial assets (e.g., Shares) assessed at the end of the calendar year. No tax payment duties arise if the amount of the foreign financial assets held abroad does not exceed a certain threshold.

Terms and Conditions Applicable to the Netherlands

Waiver of Termination Rights. The Grantee hereby waives any and all rights to compensation or damages as a result of the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company whatsoever, insofar as those rights result or may result from (i) the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements under the Plan, or (ii) the Grantee ceasing to have rights under, or ceasing to be entitled to any awards under the Plan as a result of such termination.

 

21


Terms and Conditions Applicable to Sweden

There are no country-specific provisions.

Terms and Conditions Applicable to the United Kingdom

Responsibility for Taxes. This provision supplements Section 8 of the Agreement:

Without limitation to Section 8 of the Agreement, the Grantee agrees that the Grantee is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such taxes, as and when requested by the Company or (if different) the Grantee’s employer or by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Grantee also hereby agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and (if different) the Grantee’s employer against any such taxes that they are required to pay or withhold on the Grantee’s behalf or have paid or will pay to the HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee is a director or executive officer (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that the Grantee is a director or executive officer and income tax due is not collected from or paid by the Grantee within 90 days after the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the indemnification described above occurs, the amount of any uncollected tax may constitute a benefit to the Grantee on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable. The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee ultimately will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or (if different) the Grantee’s employer for the value of any employee national insurance contributions due on this additional benefit, which the Company or (if different) the Grantee’s employer may recover from the Grantee at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in the Agreement.

Exhibit 10.2

JABIL INC.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

(PBRSU EPS – Executive – Non-EU)

This RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of November 7, 2019 (the “Grant Date”) between JABIL INC. a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and ______________ (the “Grantee”).

Background Information

A. The Board of Directors (the “Board”) and stockholders of the Company previously adopted the 2011 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

B. Section 8 of the Plan provides that the Administrator shall have the discretion and right to grant Stock Awards, including Stock Awards denominated in units representing rights to receive shares, to any Employees or Consultants or Non-Employee Directors, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and any additional terms provided by the Administrator. The Administrator has made a Stock Award grant denominated in units to the Grantee as of the Grant Date pursuant to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.

C. The Grantee desires to accept the Stock Award grant and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement.

D. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Agreement.

Agreement

1. Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee _____ restricted stock units (the “Restricted Stock Units”) as of the Grant Date. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive a Share of Common Stock if the Restricted Stock Unit becomes vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with Section 2 or Section 3 of this Agreement. The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, no dividend rights and no voting rights with respect to the Restricted Stock Units or the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units unless and until the Restricted Stock Units become vested and non-forfeitable and such Shares are delivered to the Grantee in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement. The Grantee is required to pay no cash consideration for the grant of the Restricted Stock Units. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Restricted Stock Units and related rights are nontransferable as provided in Section 5 of this Agreement, (ii) the Restricted Stock Units are subject to forfeiture in the event the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates in certain circumstances, as specified in Section 6 of this Agreement, (iii) sales of Shares of Common Stock delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the Company’s policies regulating trading by Employees and Consultants, including any applicable “blackout” or other designated periods in which sales of Shares are not permitted, (iv) Shares delivered in settlement will be subject to any recoupment or “clawback” policy of the Company, regardless of whether such recoupment or “clawback” policy is applied with prospective or retroactive effect, and (v)


any entitlement to dividend equivalents will be in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement. The extent to which the Grantee’s rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units becomes vested and non-forfeitable shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement.

2. Vesting.

(a) Except as may be otherwise provided in Section 3 or Section 6 of this Agreement, the vesting of the Grantee’s rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units shall be determined in accordance with this Section 2. The extent to which the Grantee’s interest in the Restricted Stock Units becomes vested and non-forfeitable shall be based upon the satisfaction of the performance goal specified in this Section 2 (the “Performance Goal”), subject to Section 3. The Performance Goal shall be based upon the Cumulative EPS (“Cumulative EPS”) of the Company’s adjusted core earnings per share (as defined below) during the three-year period beginning September 1, 2019 and ending on August 31, 2022 (the “Performance Period”). The Cumulative EPS for the Performance Period shall be measured on August 31, 2022 (“Measurement Date”) (subject to adjustment under Section 7(b)). For purposes of this Agreement, “adjusted core earnings per share” means the Company’s net income determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), 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 Cumulative 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence, in the event that, as determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) and due to a required change in GAAP, tax laws and regulations or an extraordinary and material event in the Company’s business (each of the foregoing events being referred to herein as a “Material Event”), “adjusted core earnings per share” determined after the occurrence of a Material Event would be materially different as a result of the occurrence thereof, the Committee may instruct the Company to determine “adjusted core earnings per share” for such period, solely for purposes of this Agreement, as if the Material Event had not happened or was not effective. Such instruction may be limited to apply to fiscal years in which the cumulative effect did not account for the occurrence of the Material Event.

(b) The portion of the Grantee’s rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units, if any, that becomes vested and non-forfeitable on the Determination Date (as defined below) following the Performance Period shall be determined at the Measurement Date in accordance with the following schedule:

 

2


Cumulative EPS for Three

Fiscal Years Beginning

September 1, 2019 and Ending

August 31, 2022

   Percentage of
Shares Vested
 
Below $9.75      0
$9.75      20
$11.65      100
$12.50      150

Notwithstanding the foregoing schedule, no fractional Shares shall be issued, and subject to the preceding limitation on the number of related Shares available under this Agreement (that is, 150 percent of the related Shares), any fractional Share that would have resulted from the foregoing calculations shall be rounded up to the next whole Share.

(c) The applicable portion of the Restricted Stock Units shall become vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with this Section 2, subject to the Committee determining that the corresponding Performance Goal and all other conditions for the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units have been satisfied; provided the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director has not terminated before the Determination Date, as defined herein. This determination shall be made within ninety (90) days after the last day of the Performance Period (“Determination Date”). The Committee shall make this determination, provided that, for any Grantee who is not an “officer” of the Company for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the determination may be made by such Grantee’s divisional Executive Vice President or Chief Executive Officer, by the Chief Operating Officer of the Company or by the President of the Company (each, an “Authorized Officer”). The Committee’s or Authorized Officer’s good faith determination shall be final, binding and conclusive on all persons, including, but not limited to, the Company and the Grantee. The Committee or such Authorized Officer may, in its discretion, reduce the amount of compensation otherwise to be paid or earned in connection with this award, notwithstanding the level of achievement of the Performance Goal or any contrary provision of the Plan; provided, no such reduction may be made after a Change in Control. The Grantee shall not be entitled to any claim or recourse if any action or inaction by the Company, or any other circumstance or event, including any circumstance or event outside the control of the Grantee, adversely affects the ability of the Grantee to satisfy the Performance Goal or in any way prevents the satisfaction of the Performance Goal.

3. Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that is not yet vested on the date such Change in Control is determined to have occurred:

(a) shall become fully vested on the first anniversary of the date of such Change in Control (the “Change in Control Anniversary”) if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director does not terminate prior to the Change in Control Anniversary;

(b) shall become fully vested on the Date of Termination if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates prior to the Change in Control Anniversary as a result of termination by the Company without Cause or resignation by the Grantee for Good Reason; or

(c) shall not become fully vested if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates prior to the Change in Control Anniversary as a result of termination by the Company for Cause or resignation by the Grantee without Good Reason, but only to the extent such Restricted Stock Units have not previously become vested.

For purposes of this Agreement, the references to “fully vested” refer to vesting of the number of Restricted Stock Units that would vest upon achievement of the maximum level of achievement of the Performance Goal under Section 2 at the Measurement Date. This Section 3 shall supersede the standard vesting provision contained in Section 2 of this Agreement only to the extent that it results in accelerated vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, and it shall not result in a delay of any vesting or non-vesting of any Restricted Stock Units that otherwise would occur at the Measurement Date during the Performance Period under the terms of the standard vesting provision contained in Section 2 of this Agreement.

For purposes of this Section 3, the following definitions shall apply:

(d) “Cause” means:

(i) The Grantee’s conviction of a crime involving fraud or dishonesty; or

(ii) The Grantee’s continued willful or reckless material misconduct in the performance of the Grantee’s duties after receipt of written notice from the Company concerning such misconduct;

provided, however, that for purposes of Section 3(d)(ii), Cause shall not include any one or more of the following: bad judgment, negligence or any act or omission believed by the Grantee in good faith to have been in or not opposed to the interest of the Company (without intent of the Grantee to gain, directly or indirectly, a profit to which the Grantee was not legally entitled).

(e) “Good Reason” means:

 

4


(i) The assignment to the Grantee of any duties adverse to the Grantee and materially inconsistent with the Grantee’s position (including status, titles and reporting requirement), authority, duties or responsibilities, or any other action by the Company that results in a material diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action that is not taken in bad faith;

(ii) Any material reduction in the Grantee’s compensation; or

(iii) Change in location of the Grantee’s assigned office of more than 35 miles without prior consent of the Grantee.

The Grantee’s resignation will not constitute a resignation for Good Reason unless the Grantee first provides written notice to the Company of the existence of the Good Reason within 90 days following the effective date of the occurrence of the Good Reason, and the Good Reason remains uncorrected by the Company for more than 30 days following receipt of such written notice of the Good Reason from the Grantee to the Company, and the effective date of the Grantee’s resignation is within one year following the effective date of the occurrence of the Good Reason.

4. Timing and Manner of Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.

(a) Settlement Timing. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units become vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with Section 2, Section 3 or Section 6 of this Agreement, the Grantee will have no right to settlement of any such Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units will be settled under this Section 4 by the Company delivering to the Grantee (or his beneficiary in the event of death) a number of Shares equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units that have become vested and non-forfeitable and are to be settled at the applicable settlement date. In the case of Restricted Stock Units that become vested and non-forfeitable at the Determination Date in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement (including Restricted Stock Units not forfeited by operation of Section 6(a) or 6(c)), such Restricted Stock Units will be settled at a date that is as prompt as practicable after the Determination Date but in no event later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the Determination Date (settlement that is prompt but in no event later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the applicable vesting date is referred to herein as “Prompt Settlement”). The settlement of Restricted Stock Units that become vested and non-forfeitable in circumstances governed by Section 3 or Section 6(b) will be as follows:

(i) Restricted Stock Units that do not constitute a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A will be settled as follows:

(A) Restricted Stock Units that become vested in accordance with Section 6(b) (due to the Grantee’s death) will be settled within the period extending to not later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the later of the end of calendar year or the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which death occurred; and

 

5


(B) Restricted Stock Units that become vested in accordance with Section 3(a) (on the Change in Control Anniversary) or Section 3(b) (during the year following a Change in Control) will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the applicable vesting date under Section 3(a) or 3(b).

(ii) Restricted Stock Units that constitute a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A (“409A RSUs”) will be settled as follows:

(A) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 6(b) (due to the Grantee’s death) will be settled on the 30th day after the date of the Grantee’s death;

(B) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 3(a) (on the Change in Control Anniversary), if in connection with the Change in Control there occurred a change in the ownership of the Company, a change in effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(5) (a “409A Change in Control”), will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the first anniversary of the 409A Change in Control, and if there occurred no 409A Change in Control in connection with the Change in Control, such 409A RSUs will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the earliest of the Determination Date, one year after a 409A Change in Control not related to the Change in Control or the termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director, subject to Section 9(b) (including the six-month delay rule); and

(C) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 3(b) (during the year following a Change in Control) will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director, subject to Section 9(b) (including the six-month delay rule).

(b) Manner of Settlement. The Company may make delivery of shares of Common Stock in settlement of Restricted Stock Units by either delivering one or more certificates representing such Shares to the Grantee (or his beneficiary in the event of death), registered in the name of the Grantee (and any joint name, if so directed by the Grantee), or by depositing such Shares into a stock brokerage account maintained for the Grantee (or of which the Grantee is a joint owner, with the consent of the Grantee). In no event will the Company issue fractional Shares.

(c) Effect of Settlement. Neither the Grantee nor any of the Grantee’s successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives shall have any further rights or interests in any Restricted Stock Units that have been paid and settled. Although a settlement date or range of dates for settlement are specified above in order to comply with Code Section 409A, the Company retains discretion to determine the settlement date, and no Grantee or beneficiary of a Grantee shall have any claim for damages or loss by virtue of the fact that the market price of Common Stock was higher on a given date upon which settlement could have been made as compared to the market price on or after the actual settlement date (any claim relating to settlement will be limited to a claim for delivery of Shares and related dividend equivalents).

5. Restrictions on Transfer. The Grantee shall not have the right to make or permit to occur any transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock Units, related rights to dividend equivalents or any other rights relating thereto, whether outright or as security, with or without consideration, voluntary or involuntary, and the Restricted Stock Units, related rights to dividend equivalents and other rights relating thereto, shall not be subject to execution, attachment, lien, or similar process; provided, however, the Grantee will be entitled to designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any settlement in respect of the Restricted Stock Units upon the death of the Grantee, in the manner and to the extent permitted by the Administrator. Any purported transfer or other transaction not permitted under this Section 5 shall be deemed null and void.

6. Forfeiture. Except as may be otherwise provided in this Section 6, the Grantee shall forfeit all of his rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units and related dividend equivalents if his Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates for any reason before the Restricted Stock Units become vested in accordance with Section 2 or Section 3 of this Agreement.

(a) Retirement. In the event of the Grantee’s Retirement in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6(a), the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall be treated as not having terminated for a number of years determined in accordance with this Section 6(a) for purposes of application of the vesting provisions of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 6(a), “Retirement” means termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director after the earliest of:

(i) The Grant Date or the end of the Company fiscal year in the Performance Period at which the Grantee has attained age fifty (50) and completed fifteen (15) Full Years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director;

(ii) The Grant Date or the end of the Company fiscal year in the Performance Period at which the Grantee has attained age fifty-eight (58) and completed ten (10) Full Years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director; or

(iii) The Grant Date or the end of the Company fiscal year in the Performance Period at which the Grantee has attained age sixty-two (62) and completed five (5) Full Years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director.

 

7


For purposes of this Section 6(a), “Full Year” means a twelve-month period beginning on the date of the Grantee’s commencement of service for the Company or a Subsidiary and each anniversary thereof. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6(a), the time period of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director for a Grantee whose service with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates and who subsequently returns to service with the Company or a Subsidiary shall include all time periods of the Grantee’s service for the Company or a Subsidiary for purposes of this Section 6(a). This Section 6(a) will only apply to a Retirement if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director does not terminate due to Cause as defined in this Agreement. In addition, this Section 6(a) will only apply to a Retirement if the Grantee executes the agreement, if any, required under Section 6(d). For a Grantee who became an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director of the Company or a Subsidiary following the acquisition of his or her employer by the Company or a Subsidiary, service with the acquired employer shall not count toward the number of years of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director for purposes of this Section 6(a), and Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall be measured from the commencement of the Grantee’s service for the Company or a Subsidiary following such acquisition. For purposes of this Section 6(a), the number of years of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall also include service with Jabil Circuit Co., a Michigan corporation and predecessor to the Company, and any Predecessor Subsidiary. For purposes of this Section 6(a), “Predecessor Subsidiary” means a company of which not less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares were held by Jabil Circuit Co. or a Predecessor Subsidiary. For purposes of this Section 6(a), for a Grantee who subsequent to the Grant Date performs service for the Company or a Subsidiary in a role as an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary that no longer includes being a state law officer of the Company or an employee of the Company with a title that is at least the equivalent of Vice President, or a substantially equivalent position of a Subsidiary (“Subsequent Non-Officer Service”), the time period of such Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall not include the time period of any such Subsequent Non-Officer Service, but shall include any time period during which such Grantee subsequently resumes service for the Company or a Subsidiary in a role as an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary that includes being a state law officer of the Company or an employee of the Company with a title that is at least the equivalent of Vice President, or a substantially equivalent position of a Subsidiary.

If this Section 6(a) applies to the Grantee’s Retirement, the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall be treated as not having terminated for the number of years beginning on the effective date of the Retirement, or the remaining portion of the vesting period, whichever is applicable, in accordance with the following table based on the Grantee’s age and full years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director at the later of the Grant Date or the Company’s fiscal year-end next preceding the effective date of the Retirement:

 

8


Age   

Full Years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director

    

5 Years

  

10 Years

  

15 Years

  

20 or More Years

50 – 54    None    None    1 year    2 years
55 – 57    None    None    2 years    Full vesting period
58 – 61    None    2 years    3 years    Full vesting period
62 or Older    Full vesting period    Full vesting period    Full vesting period    Full vesting period

Accordingly, upon such Retirement, Restricted Stock Units that otherwise would be forfeited because such Restricted Stock Units remain unvested (and not previously forfeited) at the effective date of the Retirement will not be forfeited if the Determination Date would have been reached had the Grantee remained in Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director for the additional period specified in the table above. Vesting of such Restricted Stock Units will remain subject to Section 2, and settlement of such Restricted Stock Units will remain subject to Section 4. Any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that could not potentially become vested under Section 2 assuming the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director as set forth in the above table will be forfeited upon Retirement. The death of the Grantee following Retirement or a Change in Control following Retirement shall not affect the application of this Section 6(a), although such events will trigger a settlement of the Restricted Stock Units not forfeited by operation of this Section 6(a) in accordance with Section 4.

(b) Death. In the event that the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates due to death at a time that the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units have not yet vested, a pro rata portion of the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units shall vest as follows: First, for purposes of Section 2, the Company shall determine the actual level of the Performance Goal achieved (such determination may be by means of a good faith estimate) as of the Company’s fiscal quarter-end coincident with or next preceding the Grantee’s death (or, if the Grantee’s death occurs in the first fiscal quarter of the Performance Period, then the Company’s fiscal quarter-end coincident with or next following the Grantee’s death) and calculating, on a preliminary basis, the resulting number of Restricted Stock Units that would have become vested (based on such calculation) as of the Determination Date. Second, a pro rata portion of that number of Restricted Stock Units will be calculated by multiplying that number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months from the first day of the Performance Period through the date of death (rounding any partial month to the next whole month) and the denominator of which is 36. No fractional Shares shall be issued, and subject to the limitation under Section 2(b) on the number of related Shares available under this Agreement (that is, 150 percent of the related Shares), any fractional Share that would have resulted from the foregoing calculations shall be rounded up to the next whole Share. Any Restricted Stock Units that were unvested at the date of death and that exceed the pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units that become vested under this Section 6(b) shall be forfeited.    

 

9


(c) Disability. In the event that the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates due to Disability at a time that the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units have not yet vested, a pro rata portion of the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units shall remain outstanding and shall be eligible for future vesting based on the actual level of achievement in the Performance Period, provided, however, that non-forfeiture of such Restricted Stock Units will only apply if the Grantee executes the agreement, if any, required under Section 6(d). The pro rata portion shall be calculated by multiplying the number of Restricted Stock Units originally granted by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months from the first day of the Performance Period through the date of termination (rounding any partial month to the next whole month) and the denominator of which is 36. No fractional Shares shall be issued, and subject to the limitation under Section 2(b) on the number of related Shares available under this Agreement (that is, 150 percent of the related Shares), any fractional Share that would have resulted from the foregoing calculations shall be rounded up to the next whole Share. Vesting of such Restricted Stock Units will remain subject to Section 2, and settlement of such Restricted Stock Units will remain subject to Section 4. The death of the Grantee following a termination governed by this Section 6(c), or a Change in Control following such termination, shall not increase or decrease the number of Restricted Stock Units forfeited or not forfeited under this Section 6(c), although such events will trigger a settlement of the Restricted Stock Units not forfeited by operation of this Section 6(c) in accordance with Section 4. Any Restricted Stock Units that at any time after the date of a termination governed by this Section 6(c) exceed the pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units that remain outstanding and potentially subject to future vesting under this Section 6(c) shall be forfeited.

(d) Execution of Separation Agreement and Release. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, as a condition to the non-forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units upon Retirement under Section 6(a) or upon a termination due to Disability under Section 6(c), the Grantee shall be required to execute a separation agreement and release, in a form prescribed by the Administrator, setting forth covenants relating to noncompetition, nonsolicitation, nondisparagement, confidentiality and similar covenants for the protection of the Company’s business, and releasing the Company from liability in connection with the Grantee’s termination. Such agreement shall provide for the forfeiture and/or clawback of the Restricted Stock Units subject to Section 6(a) or 6(c), and the Shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, in the event of the Grantee’s failure to comply with the terms of such agreement. The Administrator will provide the form of such agreement to the Grantee at the date of termination, and the Grantee must execute and return such form within the period specified by law or, if no such period is specified, within 21 days after receipt of the form of agreement, and not revoke such agreement within any permitted revocation period (the end of these periods being the “Agreement Effectiveness Deadline”). If any Restricted Stock Units subject to Section 6(a) or 6(c) or related rights would be required to be settled before the Agreement Effectiveness Deadline, the settlement shall not be delayed pending the receipt and effectiveness of the agreement, but any such Restricted Stock Units or related rights settled before such receipt and effectiveness shall be subject to a “clawback” (repaying to the Company the Shares and cash paid upon settlement) in the event that the agreement is not received and effective and not revoked by the Agreement Effectiveness Deadline.

7. Dividend Equivalents; Adjustments.

(a) Dividend Equivalents. During the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the date that Shares are issued in settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit, the Grantee will accrue dividend equivalents on Restricted Stock Units (including electively deferred 409A RSUs) equal to the cash dividend or distribution that would have been paid on the Restricted Stock Unit had the Restricted Stock Unit been an issued and outstanding Share of Common Stock on the record date for the dividend or distribution. Such accrued dividend equivalents (i) will vest and become payable upon the same terms and at the same time of settlement as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate, and (ii) will be denominated and payable solely in cash. Dividend equivalent payments, at settlement, will be net of applicable federal, state, local and foreign income and social insurance withholding taxes (subject to Section 8).

(b) Adjustments. The number of Restricted Stock Units (including electively deferred 409A RSUs) credited to the Grantee, and each adjusted core earnings per share amount and Cumulative EPS amount specified for purposes of the Performance Goal, shall be subject to adjustment by the Company, in accordance with Section 13 of the Plan, in order to preserve without enlarging the Grantee’s rights with respect to such Restricted Stock Units. Any such adjustment shall be made taking into account any crediting of cash dividend equivalents to the Grantee under Section 7(a) in connection with such transaction or event. In the case of an extraordinary cash dividend, the Committee may determine to adjust Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units under this Section 7(b) in lieu of crediting cash dividend equivalents under Section 7(a). Restricted Stock Units credited to the Grantee as a result of an adjustment shall be subject to the same forfeiture and settlement terms as applied to the related Restricted Stock Units prior to the adjustment.

8. Responsibility for Taxes and Withholding. Regardless of any action the Company, any of its Subsidiaries and/or the Grantee’s employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or any of its affiliates, if any. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the delivery of Shares, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such delivery and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of any award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

 

11


Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

(a) withholding from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries; or

(b) withholding in Shares to be delivered upon settlement; or

(c) withholding from dividend equivalent payments (payable in cash) related to the Shares to be delivered at settlement.

To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable withholding rates but not exceeding the maximum statutory withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares attributable to the awarded Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.

Finally, the Grantee shall pay to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that are not satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

9. Code Section 409A.

(a) General. Payments made pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code or to otherwise comply with Section 409A of the Code. Accordingly, other provisions of the Plan or this Agreement notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 9 will apply in order that the Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, will be exempt from or otherwise comply with Code Section 409A. In addition, the Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and/or this Agreement to ensure that all Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, are exempt from or otherwise comply, and in operation comply, with Code Section 409A (including, without limitation, the avoidance of penalties thereunder). Other provisions of the Plan and this Agreement notwithstanding, the Company makes no representations that the Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, will be exempt from or avoid any penalties that may apply under Code Section 409A, makes no undertaking to preclude Code Section 409A from applying to the Restricted Stock Units and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, and will not indemnify or provide a gross up payment to a Grantee (or his beneficiary) for any taxes, interest or penalties imposed under Code Section 409A. Other

 

12


restrictions and limitations under any deferred compensation plan or general rules applicable to deferrals apply to electively deferred 409A RSUs and related dividend equivalents and, if those provisions apply and are compliant with Code Section 409A, they shall take precedence over inconsistent provisions of this Section 9.

(b) Restrictions on 409A RSUs. In the case of any 409A RSUs, the following restrictions will apply:

(i) Separation from Service. Any payment in settlement of the 409A RSUs that is triggered by a termination of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director (or other termination of employment) hereunder will occur only if the Grantee has had a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h), with such separation from service treated as the termination for purposes of determining the timing of any settlement based on such termination.

(ii) Six-Month Delay Rule. The “six-month delay rule” will apply to 409A RSUs if these four conditions are met:

(A) the Grantee has a separation from service (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h)) for a reason other than death;

(B) a payment in settlement is triggered by such separation from service; and    

(C) the Grantee is a “specified employee” under Code Section 409A.

If it applies, the six-month delay rule will delay a settlement of 409A RSUs triggered by separation from service where the settlement otherwise would occur within six months after the separation from service, subject to the following:

(D) any delayed payment shall be made on the date six months and one day after separation from service;

(E) during the six-month delay period, accelerated settlement will be permitted in the event of the Grantee’s death and for no other reason (including no acceleration upon a Change in Control) except to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A; and

(F) any settlement that is not triggered by a separation from service, or is triggered by a separation from service but would be made more than six months after separation (without applying this six-month delay rule), shall be unaffected by the six-month delay rule.

(c) Other Compliance Provisions. The following provisions apply to Restricted Stock Units:

 

13


(i) Each tranche of Restricted Stock Units (including dividend equivalents accrued thereon) that potentially could vest at or following a Determination Date under Section 2 shall be deemed a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A.

(ii) The settlement of 409A RSUs may not be accelerated by the Company except to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A. The Company may, however, accelerate vesting (i.e., may waive the risk of forfeiture tied to termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director) of 409A RSUs, without changing the settlement terms of such 409A RSUs.

(iii) It is understood that Good Reason for purposes of this Agreement is limited to circumstances that qualify under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(n)(2).

(iv) Any election to defer settlement of Restricted Stock Units must comply with the election timing rules under Code Section 409A.

(v) Any restriction imposed on 409A RSUs hereunder or under the terms of other documents solely to ensure compliance with Code Section 409A shall not be applied to a Restricted Stock Unit that is not a 409A RSU except to the extent necessary to preserve the status of such Restricted Stock Unit as not being a “deferral of compensation” under Code Section 409A.

(vi) If any mandatory term required for 409A RSUs or other RSUs, or related dividend equivalents or other related rights, to avoid tax penalties under Code Section 409A is not otherwise explicitly provided under this document or other applicable documents, such term is hereby incorporated by reference and fully applicable as though set forth at length herein.

(vii) In the case of any settlement of Restricted Stock Units during a specified period following the Determination Date or other date triggering a right to settlement, the Grantee shall have no influence (other than permitted deferral elections) on any determination as to the tax year in which the settlement will be made.

(viii) In the case of any Restricted Stock Unit that is not a 409A RSU, if the circumstances arise constituting a Disability but termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director has not in fact resulted immediately without an election by the Grantee, then only the Company or a Subsidiary may elect to terminate the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director due to such Disability.

(ix) If the Company has a right of setoff that could apply to a 409A RSU, such right may only be exercised at the time the 409A RSU would have been settled, and may be exercised only as a setoff against an obligation that arose not more than 30 days before and within the same year as the settlement date if application of such setoff right against an earlier obligation would not be permitted under Code Section 409A.

14. Grantee Acknowledgements and Consents.

(a) Data Privacy. As communicated in Jabil’s Notice of Data Collection, Processing and Transfer of Employee Personal Data, as updated from time to time.

Data Collection and Usage. The Company collects, processes and uses personal data about the Grantee, including but not limited to, the Grantee’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all awards, rights or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Grantee or the Grantee’s employer. In order for the Grantee to participate in the Plan, the Company will collect his or her personal data for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis for the processing of the Grantee’s personal data is based on the necessity for Company’s performance of its obligations under the Plan and pursuant to the Company’s legitimate business interests. In those jurisdictions where the Grantee’s consent to the processing of the Grantee’s personal data is required, the Grantee expressly and explicitly consents to the collection, processing and transfer practices as described herein.

Stock Plan Administration and Service Providers. The Company may transfer the Grantee’s data to one or more third party stock plan service providers based in the United States (“U.S.”), which may assist the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Such service provider(s) may open an account for the Grantee to receive and trade Shares. The Grantee may be asked to acknowledge, or agree to, separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider(s).

International Data Transfers. The Grantee’s personal data will be transferred from the Grantee’s country to the U.S., where the Company and its service providers are based. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of the Grantee’s data to the U.S. is the Grantee’s consent (where required) or the Company’s participation in a privacy shield agreement and/or adequate agreements.

Data Retention. The Company will use the Grantee’s personal data only as long as necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’s participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws. When the Company no longer needs the Grantee’s personal data, which will generally be seven (7) years after the Grantee participates in the Plan, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps the data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be relevant laws or regulations.

Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdraw. The Grantee’s participation in the Plan and his or her grant of consent, if required, if purely voluntary. The Grantee may reject participation in the Plan or withdraw the Grantee’s consent, if applicable, at any time. If the Grantee rejects participation in the Plan, does not consent, if applicable, or withdraws his or her consent, if applicable, the Grantee may be unable to participate in the Plan. This would not affect the Grantee’s existing employment or salary; instead, the Grantee merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.

 

16


Data Subject Rights. The Grantee understands that he or she may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in the Grantee’s jurisdiction. Depending on where the Grantee is based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data processed by the Company, (ii) rectification of incorrect data, (iii) deletion of data, (iv) restrictions on processing of data, (v) portability of data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Grantee’s jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Grantee’s personal data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, the Grantee can contact his or her local human resources department.

(b) Voluntary Participation. The Grantee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary. The value of the Restricted Stock Units is an extraordinary item of compensation. Unless otherwise expressly provided in a separate agreement between the Grantee and the Company or a Subsidiary, the Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.

(c) Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT ELECTRONICALLY, THE GRANTEE HEREBY CONSENTS TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF THE PLAN, THE PROSPECTUS FOR THE PLAN AND OTHER DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THE PLAN (COLLECTIVELY, THE “PLAN DOCUMENTS”). THE COMPANY WILL DELIVER THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ELECTRONICALLY TO THE GRANTEE BY E-MAIL, BY POSTING SUCH DOCUMENTS ON ITS INTRANET WEBSITE OR BY ANOTHER MODE OF ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AS DETERMINED BY THE COMPANY IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT ELECTRONICALLY, THE GRANTEE CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT SUCH PROCEDURES AND DELIVERY MAY BE EFFECTED BY A BROKER OR THIRD PARTY ENGAGED BY THE COMPANY TO PROVIDE ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES RELATED TO THE PLAN. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT ELECTRONICALLY, THE GRANTEE HEREBY CONSENTS TO ANY AND ALL PROCEDURES THE COMPANY HAS ESTABLISHED OR MAY ESTABLISH FOR ANY ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE SYSTEM FOR DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE OF ANY PLAN DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING THIS AGREEMENT, THAT THE COMPANY MAY ELECT TO DELIVER AND AGREES THAT HIS ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE IS THE SAME AS, AND WILL HAVE THE SAME FORCE AND EFFECT AS, HIS MANUAL SIGNATURE. THE COMPANY WILL SEND TO THE GRANTEE AN E-MAIL ANNOUNCEMENT WHEN THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE ELECTRONICALLY FOR THE GRANTEE’S REVIEW, DOWNLOAD OR PRINTING AND WILL PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS ON WHERE THE PLAN DOCUMENTS CAN BE FOUND. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING BY THE COMPANY, THE GRANTEE WILL NOT INCUR ANY COSTS FOR RECEIVING THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ELECTRONICALLY THROUGH THE COMPANY’S COMPUTER NETWORK. THE GRANTEE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE PAPER COPIES OF

 

17


ANY PLAN DOCUMENT BY SENDING A WRITTEN REQUEST FOR A PAPER COPY TO THE ADMINISTRATOR. THE GRANTEE’S CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF THE PLAN DOCUMENTS WILL BE VALID AND REMAIN EFFECTIVE UNTIL THE EARLIER OF (i) THE TERMINATION OF THE GRANTEE’S PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN AND (ii) THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE GRANTEE’S CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE PLAN DOCUMENTS. THE COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE GRANTEE HAS THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO WITHDRAW HIS CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE PLAN DOCUMENTS BY SENDING A WRITTEN NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL TO THE ADMINISTRATOR.

(d) Unfunded Plan. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that any rights of the Grantee relating to the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights shall constitute bookkeeping entries on the books of the Company and shall not create in the Grantee any right to, or claim against, any specific assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, nor result in the creation of any trust or escrow account for the Grantee. With respect to the Grantee’s entitlement to any payment hereunder, the Grantee shall be a general creditor of the Company.

COUNTRY APPENDIX

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD

AGREEMENT

This Country Appendix (“Appendix”) includes the following additional terms and conditions that govern the Grantee’s Stock Award for all Grantees that reside and/or work outside of the United States and outside of the European Union.

Notifications

This Country Appendix also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Grantee should be aware with respect to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of August 2019. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Grantee not rely on the information in this Country Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that the Restricted Stock Units vest, or Shares are delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, or the Grantee sells any Shares acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Grantee’s particular situation, and none of the Company, its Subsidiaries, nor the Administrator is in a position to assure the Grantee of a particular result. Accordingly, the Grantee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Grantee’s country of residence and/or work may apply to the Grantee’s situation.

Finally, if the Grantee transfers employment after the Grant Date, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes following the Grant Date, the notifications contained herein may not be applicable to the Grantee, and the Administrator shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to the Grantee.

Terms and Conditions Applicable to All Non-U.S. Jurisdictions

English Language. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that it is the Grantee’s express intent that this Agreement, the Plan and all other documents, rules, procedures, forms, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the Stock Award, be drawn up in English. The Grantee further acknowledges that he or she is sufficiently proficient in English, or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, so as to allow the Grantee to understand the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Plan and any rules, procedures, forms or documents related to the Stock Award. If the Grantee has received this Agreement, the Plan or any other rules, procedures, forms or documents related to the Stock Award translated into a language other than English, and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

 

20


Repatriation; Compliance with Laws. The Grantee agrees, as a condition of the grant of the Stock Award, to repatriate all payments attributable to the Award and/or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends, dividend equivalents, and any proceeds derived from the sale of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Agreement) in accordance with all foreign exchange rules and regulations applicable to the Grantee. The Company and the Administrator reserve the right to impose other requirements on the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, on the Restricted Stock Units and on any Shares acquired or cash payments made pursuant to the Agreement, to the extent the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Administrator determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or to facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Finally, the Grantee agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Grantee’s personal legal and tax obligations under all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Grantee.

Commercial Relationship. The Grantee expressly recognizes that the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and the Company’s Stock Award grant does not constitute an employment relationship between the Grantee and the Company. The Grantee has been granted Stock Awards as a consequence of the commercial relationship between the Company and the Company’s Subsidiary that employs the Grantee, and the Company’s Subsidiary that employs the Grantee is the Grantee’s sole employer. Based on the foregoing, the Grantee expressly recognizes that (a) the Plan and the benefits the Grantee may derive from participation in the Plan do not establish any rights between the Grantee and the Subsidiary that employs the Grantee, (b) the Plan and the benefits the Grantee may derive from participation in the Plan are not part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by the Subsidiary that employs the Grantee, and (c) any modifications or amendments of the Plan by the Company or the Administrator, or a termination of the Plan by the Company, shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Grantee’s employment with the Subsidiary that employs the Grantee.

Private Placement. The grant of the Stock Award is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Grantee’s country of residence and/or employment but instead is intended to be a private placement. As a private placement, the Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under local law), and the grant of the Stock Award is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities.

Additional Acknowledgements. The GRANTEE also acknowledges and agrees to the following:

 

   

The grant of the Stock Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Stock Awards or benefits in lieu of the Stock Award even if Stock Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past.

 

21


   

The future value of the Shares and any related dividend equivalents is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty.

 

   

No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from the forfeiture of the Stock Award or any of the Restricted Stock Units or related dividend equivalents, the termination of the Plan, or the diminution in value of the Restricted Stock Units or Shares, and the Grantee irrevocably releases the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Administrator and their affiliates from any such claim that may arise.

 

   

None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, nor the Administrator is providing any tax, legal or financial advice or making any recommendations regarding the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units, or the Grantee’s acquisition or sale of the Shares delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.

The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that it is the Grantee’s express wish that this Agreement, as well as all documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant hereto or relating directly or indirectly hereto, be drawn up in English.

Foreign specified property also includes unvested Restricted Stock Units (generally at nil cost) if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign specified property.

The extent to which the Grantee’s rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units becomes vested and non-forfeitable shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement.

2. Vesting.

(a) Except as may be otherwise provided in Section 3 or Section 6 of this Agreement, the vesting of the Grantee’s rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units shall be determined in accordance with this Section 2. The extent to which the Grantee’s interest in the Restricted Stock Units becomes vested and non-forfeitable shall be based upon the satisfaction of the performance goal specified in this Section 2 (the “Performance Goal”), subject to Section 3. The Performance Goal shall be based upon a comparison of the Company’s total shareholder return, as defined below (“TSR”), to the TSR of each company (other than the Company) that comprises the S&P Supercomposite Technology Hardware and Equipment Index (the “Index”) during the period beginning September 1, 2019 and ending on August 31, 2022 (the “Performance Period”), provided that only the companies that comprise the Index as of the first day of the Performance Period shall be considered and any such company shall be deemed to have a TSR of negative 100 percent upon (i) the institution by or against such company of an insolvency, receivership or bankruptcy proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1532, or foreign insolvency regime, (ii) such company making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (iii) such company’s dissolution or ceasing to do business. The TSR for the Performance Period shall be measured at the end of the Performance Period. For purposes of this Agreement, TSR means the percentage rate of return, which can be positive or negative, from the Beginning Stock Price (as defined below) to the Closing Stock Price (as defined below) of the Common Shares of the Company and the common shares of beneficial interest issued by the relevant company in the 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” of the Common Shares of the Company and of the common shares of beneficial interest issued by the relevant company in the Index, as applicable, 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” of the Common Shares of the Company and of the common shares of beneficial interest issued by the relevant company in the Index, as applicable, means the average stock price for the 90-day period ending 30 days after the last day of the Performance Period.

(b) The portion of the Grantee’s rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units, if any, that becomes vested and nonforfeitable on the Determination Date (as defined below) shall be determined in accordance with the following schedule, using linear interpolation, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”):

 

2


Company TSR relative to the TSR of the

companies in the Index

   Percentage of
Units/Shares
Vested
 

25th percentile or below

     0

Median

     100

75th percentile and above

     200

The continuous percentile rank calculation methodology shall be used for purposes of the preceding schedule; the Company shall be excluded in determining the percentile rank of the other companies in the Index, and the Company’s percentile rank shall be calculated by using linear interpolation between the percentile ranks of the other companies in the Index.

Notwithstanding the preceding schedule, if the Company’s TSR for the Performance Period is a negative number, but exceeds the Median percentile of the companies in the Index, then the percentage of the Restricted Stock Units determined in accordance with the preceding schedule shall be limited to 100%.

No fractional Shares shall be issued, and subject to the preceding limitation on the number of Shares available under this Agreement (that is, 200 percent of the related Shares), any fractional Share that would have resulted from the foregoing calculations shall be rounded up to the next whole Share.

(c) The applicable portion of the Restricted Stock Units shall become vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with this Section 2, subject to the determination that the corresponding Performance Goal and all other conditions for the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units have been satisfied; provided the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director has not terminated before the Determination Date, as defined herein. This determination shall be made within ninety (90) days after the last day of the Performance Period (“Determination Date”). The Committee shall make this determination, provided that, for any Grantee who is not an “officer” of the Company for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the determination may be made by such Grantee’s divisional Executive Vice President or Chief Executive Officer, by the Chief Operating Officer of the Company or by the President of the Company (each, an “Authorized Officer”). The Committee’s or such Authorized Officer’s good faith determination shall be final, binding and conclusive on all persons, including, but not limited to, the Company and the Grantee. The Committee or such Authorized Officer may, in its discretion, reduce the amount of compensation otherwise to be paid or earned in connection with this award, notwithstanding the level of achievement of the Performance Goal or any contrary provision of the Plan; provided no such reduction may be made after a Change in Control. The Grantee shall not be entitled to any claim or recourse if any action or inaction by the Company, or any other circumstance or event, including any circumstance or event outside the control of the Grantee, adversely affects the ability of the Grantee to satisfy the Performance Goal or in any way prevents the satisfaction of the Performance Goal.

3. Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that is not yet vested on the date such Change in Control is determined to have occurred:

(a) shall become fully vested on the first anniversary of the date of such Change in Control (the “Change in Control Anniversary”) if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director does not terminate prior to the Change in Control Anniversary;

 

3


(b) shall become fully vested on the Date of Termination if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates prior to the Change in Control Anniversary as a result of termination by the Company without Cause or resignation by the Grantee for Good Reason; or

(c) shall not become fully vested if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates prior to the Change in Control Anniversary as a result of termination by the Company for Cause or resignation by the Grantee without Good Reason, but only to the extent such Restricted Stock Units have not previously become vested.

For purposes of this Agreement, the references to “fully vested” refer to vesting of the number of Restricted Stock Units that would vest upon achievement of the maximum level of achievement of the Performance Goal under Section 2. This Section 3 shall supersede the standard vesting provision contained in Section 2 of this Agreement only to the extent that it results in accelerated vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, and it shall not result in a delay of any vesting or non-vesting of any Restricted Stock Units that otherwise would occur during the Performance Period under the terms of the standard vesting provision contained in Section 2 of this Agreement.

For purposes of this Section 3, the following definitions shall apply:

(d) “Cause” means:

(i) The Grantee’s conviction of a crime involving fraud or dishonesty; or

(ii) The Grantee’s continued willful or reckless material misconduct in the performance of the Grantee’s duties after receipt of written notice from the Company concerning such misconduct;

provided, however, that for purposes of Section 3(d)(ii), Cause shall not include any one or more of the following: bad judgment, negligence or any act or omission believed by the Grantee in good faith to have been in or not opposed to the interest of the Company (without intent of the Grantee to gain, directly or indirectly, a profit to which the Grantee was not legally entitled).

(e) “Good Reason” means:

(i) The assignment to the Grantee of any duties adverse to the Grantee and materially inconsistent with the Grantee’s position (including status, titles and reporting requirement), authority, duties or responsibilities, or any other action by the Company that results in a material diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action that is not taken in bad faith;

 

4


(ii) Any material reduction in the Grantee’s compensation; or

(iii) Change in location of the Grantee’s assigned office of more than 35 miles without prior consent of the Grantee.

The Grantee’s resignation will not constitute a resignation for Good Reason unless the Grantee first provides written notice to the Company of the existence of the Good Reason within 90 days following the effective date of the occurrence of the Good Reason, and the Good Reason remains uncorrected by the Company for more than 30 days following receipt of such written notice of the Good Reason from the Grantee to the Company, and the effective date of the Grantee’s resignation is within one year following the effective date of the occurrence of the Good Reason.

4. Timing and Manner of Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.

(a) Settlement Timing. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units become vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with Section 2, Section 3 or Section 6 of this Agreement, the Grantee will have no right to settlement of any such Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units will be settled under this Section 4 by the Company delivering to the Grantee (or his beneficiary in the event of death) a number of Shares equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units that have become vested and non-forfeitable and are to be settled at the applicable settlement date. In the case of Restricted Stock Units that become vested and non-forfeitable at the Determination Date in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement (including Restricted Stock Units not forfeited by operation of Section 6(a) or 6(c)), such Restricted Stock Units will be settled at a date that is as prompt as practicable after the Determination Date but in no event later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the Determination Date (settlement that is prompt but in no event later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the applicable vesting date is referred to herein as “Prompt Settlement”). The settlement of Restricted Stock Units that become vested and non-forfeitable in circumstances governed by Section 3 or Section 6(b) will be as follows:

(i) Restricted Stock Units that do not constitute a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A will be settled as follows:

(A) Restricted Stock Units that become vested in accordance with Section 6(b) (due to the Grantee’s death) will be settled within the period extending to not later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the later of the end of calendar year or the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which death occurred; and

(B) Restricted Stock Units that become vested in accordance with Section 3(a) (on the Change in Control Anniversary) or Section 3(b) (during the year following a Change in Control) will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the applicable vesting date under Section 3(a) or 3(b).

 

5


(ii) Restricted Stock Units that constitute a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A (“409A RSUs”) will be settled as follows:

(A) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 6(b) (due to the Grantee’s death) will be settled on the 30th day after the date of the Grantee’s death;

(B) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 3(a) (on the Change in Control Anniversary), if in connection with the Change in Control there occurred a change in the ownership of the Company, a change in effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(5) (a “409A Change in Control”), will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the first anniversary of the 409A Change in Control, and if there occurred no 409A Change in Control in connection with the Change in Control, such 409A RSUs will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the earliest of the Determination Date, one year after a 409A Change in Control not related to the Change in Control or the termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director, subject to Section 9(b) (including the six-month delay rule); and

(C) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 3(b) (during the year following a Change in Control) will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director, subject to Section 9(b) (including the six-month delay rule).

(b) Manner of Settlement. The Company may make delivery of shares of Common Stock in settlement of Restricted Stock Units by either delivering one or more certificates representing such Shares to the Grantee (or his beneficiary in the event of death), registered in the name of the Grantee (and any joint name, if so directed by the Grantee), or by depositing such Shares into a stock brokerage account maintained for the Grantee (or of which the Grantee is a joint owner, with the consent of the Grantee). In no event will the Company issue fractional Shares.

(c) Effect of Settlement. Neither the Grantee nor any of the Grantee’s successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives shall have any further rights or interests in any Restricted Stock Units that have been paid and settled. Although a settlement date or range of dates for settlement are specified above in order to comply with Code Section 409A, the Company retains discretion to determine the settlement date, and no Grantee or beneficiary of a Grantee shall have any claim for damages or loss by virtue of the fact that the market price of Common Stock was higher on a given date upon which settlement could have been made as compared to the market price on or after the actual settlement date (any claim relating to settlement will be limited to a claim for delivery of Shares and related dividend equivalents).

5. Restrictions on Transfer. The Grantee shall not have the right to make or permit to occur any transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock Units, related rights to dividend equivalents or any other rights relating thereto, whether outright or as security, with or without consideration, voluntary or involuntary, and the

 

6


Restricted Stock Units, related rights to dividend equivalents and other rights relating thereto, shall not be subject to execution, attachment, lien, or similar process; provided, however, the Grantee will be entitled to designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any settlement in respect of the Restricted Stock Units upon the death of the Grantee, in the manner and to the extent permitted by the Administrator. Any purported transfer or other transaction not permitted under this Section 5 shall be deemed null and void.

6. Forfeiture. Except as may be otherwise provided in this Section 6, the Grantee shall forfeit all of his rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units and related dividend equivalents if his Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates for any reason before the Restricted Stock Units become vested in accordance with Section 2 or Section 3 of this Agreement.

(a) Retirement. In the event of the Grantee’s Retirement in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6(a), the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall be treated as not having terminated for a number of years determined in accordance with this Section 6(a) for purposes of application of the vesting provisions of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 6(a), “Retirement” means termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director after the earliest of:

(i) The Grant Date or the end of the Company fiscal year in the Performance Period at which the Grantee has attained age fifty (50) and completed fifteen (15) Full Years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director;

(ii) The Grant Date or the end of the Company fiscal year in the Performance Period at which the Grantee has attained age fifty-eight (58) and completed ten (10) Full Years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director; or

(iii) The Grant Date or the end of the Company fiscal year in the Performance Period at which the Grantee has attained age sixty-two (62) and completed five (5) Full Years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director.

For purposes of this Section 6(a), “Full Year” means a twelve-month period beginning on the date of the Grantee’s commencement of service for the Company or a Subsidiary and each anniversary thereof. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6(a), the time period of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director for a Grantee whose service with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates and who subsequently returns to service with the Company or a Subsidiary shall include all time periods of the Grantee’s service for the Company or a Subsidiary for purposes of this Section 6(a). This Section 6(a) will only apply to a Retirement if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director does not terminate due to Cause as defined in this Agreement. In addition, this Section 6(a) will only apply to a Retirement if the Grantee executes the agreement, if any, required under Section 6(d). For a Grantee who became an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director

 

7


of the Company or a Subsidiary following the acquisition of his or her employer by the Company or a Subsidiary, service with the acquired employer shall not count toward the number of years of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director for purposes of this Section 6(a), and Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall be measured from the commencement of the Grantee’s service for the Company or a Subsidiary following such acquisition. For purposes of this Section 6(a), the number of years of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall also include service with Jabil Circuit Co., a Michigan corporation and predecessor to the Company, and any Predecessor Subsidiary. For purposes of this Section 6(a), “Predecessor Subsidiary” means a company of which not less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares were held by Jabil Circuit Co. or a Predecessor Subsidiary. For purposes of this Section 6(a), for a Grantee who subsequent to the Grant Date performs service for the Company or a Subsidiary in a role as an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary that no longer includes being a state law officer of the Company or an employee of the Company with a title that is at least the equivalent of Vice President, or a substantially equivalent position of a Subsidiary (“Subsequent Non-Officer Service”), the time period of such Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall not include the time period of any such Subsequent Non-Officer Service, but shall include any time period during which such Grantee subsequently resumes service for the Company or a Subsidiary in a role as an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary that includes being a state law officer of the Company or an employee of the Company with a title that is at least the equivalent of Vice President, or a substantially equivalent position of a Subsidiary.

If this Section 6(a) applies to the Grantee’s Retirement, the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall be treated as not having terminated for the number of years beginning on the effective date of the Retirement, or the remaining portion of the vesting period, whichever is applicable, in accordance with the following table based on the Grantee’s age and full years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director at the later of the Grant Date or the Company’s fiscal year-end next preceding the effective date of the Retirement:

 

8


    

Full Years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director

Age

  

5 Years

  

10 Years

  

15 Years

  

20 or More Years

50 – 54    None    None    1 year    2 years
55 – 57    None    None    2 years    Full vesting period
58 – 61    None    2 years    3 years    Full vesting period
62 or Older    Full vesting period    Full vesting period    Full vesting period    Full vesting period

Accordingly, upon such Retirement, Restricted Stock Units that otherwise would be forfeited because such Restricted Stock Units remain unvested (and not previously forfeited) at the effective date of the Retirement will not be forfeited if the Determination Date would have been reached had the Grantee remained in Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director for the additional period specified in the table above. Vesting of such Restricted Stock Units will remain subject to Section 2, and settlement of such Restricted Stock Units will remain subject to Section 4. Any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that could not potentially become vested under Section 2 assuming the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director as set forth in the above table will be forfeited upon Retirement. The death of the Grantee following Retirement or a Change in Control following Retirement shall not affect the application of this Section 6(a), although such events will trigger a settlement of the Restricted Stock Units not forfeited by operation of this Section 6(a) in accordance with Section 4.

(b) Death. In the event that the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates due to death at a time that the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units have not yet vested, a pro rata portion of the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units shall vest as follows: First, for purposes of Section 2, the Company shall determine the actual level of the Performance Goal achieved (such determination may be by means of a good faith estimate) as of the Company’s fiscal quarter-end coincident with or next preceding the Grantee’s death (or, if the Grantee’s death occurs in the first fiscal quarter of the Performance Period, then the Company’s fiscal quarter-end coincident with or next following the Grantee’s death) and calculating, on a preliminary basis, the resulting number of Restricted Stock Units that would have become vested (based on such calculation) as of the Determination Date. Second, a pro rata portion of that number of Restricted Stock Units will be calculated by multiplying that number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months from the first day of the Performance Period through the date of death (rounding any partial month to the next whole month) and the denominator of which is 36. No fractional Shares shall be issued, and subject to the limitation under Section 2(b) on the number of related Shares available under this Agreement, any fractional Share that would have resulted from the foregoing calculations shall be rounded up to the next whole Share. Any Restricted Stock Units that were unvested at the date of death and that exceed the pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units that become vested under this Section 6(b) shall be forfeited.

 

9


(c) Disability. In the event that the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates due to Disability at a time that the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units have not yet vested, a pro rata portion of the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units shall remain outstanding and shall be eligible for future vesting based on the actual level of achievement in the Performance Period, provided, however, that non-forfeiture of such Restricted Stock Units will only apply if the Grantee executes the agreement, if any, required under Section 6(d). The pro rata portion shall be calculated by multiplying the number of Restricted Stock Units originally granted by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months from the first day of the Performance Period through the date of termination (rounding any partial month to the next whole month) and the denominator of which is 36. No fractional Shares shall be issued, and subject to the limitation under Section 2(b) on the number of related Shares available under this Agreement, any fractional Share that would have resulted from the foregoing calculations shall be rounded up to the next whole Share. Vesting of such Restricted Stock Units will remain subject to Section 2, and settlement of such Restricted Stock Units will remain subject to Section 4. The death of the Grantee following a termination governed by this Section 6(c), or a Change in Control following such termination, shall not increase or decrease the number of Restricted Stock Units forfeited or not forfeited under this Section 6(c), although such events will trigger a settlement of the Restricted Stock Units not forfeited by operation of this Section 6(c) in accordance with Section 4. Any Restricted Stock Units that at any time after the date of a termination governed by this Section 6(c) exceed the pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units that remain outstanding and potentially subject to future vesting under this Section 6(c) shall be forfeited.

(d) Execution of Separation Agreement and Release. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, as a condition to the non-forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units upon Retirement under Section 6(a) or upon a termination due to Disability under Section 6(c), the Grantee shall be required to execute a separation agreement and release, in a form prescribed by the Administrator, setting forth covenants relating to noncompetition, nonsolicitation, nondisparagement, confidentiality and similar covenants for the protection of the Company’s business, and releasing the Company from liability in connection with the Grantee’s termination. Such agreement shall provide for the forfeiture and/or clawback of the Restricted Stock Units subject to Section 6(a) or 6(c), and the Shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, in the event of the Grantee’s failure to comply with the terms of such agreement. The Administrator will provide the form of such agreement to the Grantee at the date of termination, and the Grantee must execute and return such form within the period specified by law or, if no such period is specified, within 21 days after receipt of the form of agreement, and not revoke such agreement within any permitted revocation period (the end of these periods being the “Agreement Effectiveness Deadline”). If any Restricted Stock Units subject to Section 6(a) or 6(c) or related rights would be required to be settled before the Agreement Effectiveness Deadline, the settlement shall not be delayed pending the receipt and effectiveness of the agreement, but any such Restricted Stock Units or related rights settled before such receipt and effectiveness shall be subject to a “clawback” (repaying to the Company the Shares and cash paid upon settlement) in the event that the agreement is not received and effective and not revoked by the Agreement Effectiveness Deadline.

 

10


7. Dividend Equivalents; Adjustments.

(a) Dividend Equivalents. During the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the date that Shares are issued in settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit, the Grantee will accrue dividend equivalents on Restricted Stock Units (including electively deferred 409A RSUs) equal to the cash dividend or distribution that would have been paid on the Restricted Stock Unit had the Restricted Stock Unit been an issued and outstanding Share of Common Stock on the record date for the dividend or distribution. Such accrued dividend equivalents (i) will vest and become payable upon the same terms and at the same time of settlement as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate, and (ii) will be denominated and payable solely in cash. Dividend equivalent payments, at settlement, will be net of applicable federal, state, local and foreign income and social insurance withholding taxes (subject to Section 8).

(b) Adjustments. The number of Restricted Stock Units (including electively deferred 409A RSUs) credited to the Grantee shall be subject to adjustment by the Company, in accordance with Section 13 of the Plan, in order to preserve without enlarging the Grantee’s rights with respect to such Restricted Stock Units. Any such adjustment shall be made taking into account any crediting of cash dividend equivalents to the Grantee under Section 7(a) in connection with such transaction or event. In the case of an extraordinary cash dividend, the Committee may determine to adjust the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units under this Section 7(b) in lieu of crediting cash dividend equivalents under Section 7(a). Restricted Stock Units credited to the Grantee as a result of an adjustment shall be subject to the same forfeiture and settlement terms as applied to the related Restricted Stock Units prior to the adjustment.

8. Responsibility for Taxes and Withholding. Regardless of any action the Company, any of its Subsidiaries and/or the Grantee’s employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or any of its affiliates, if any. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the delivery of Shares, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such delivery and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of any award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

(a) withholding from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries; or

 

11


(b) withholding in Shares to be delivered upon settlement; or

(c) withholding from dividend equivalent payments (payable in cash) related to the Shares to be delivered at settlement.

To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable withholding rates but not exceeding the maximum statutory withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares attributable to the awarded Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.

Finally, the Grantee shall pay to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that are not satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

9. Code Section 409A.

(a) General. Payments made pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code or to otherwise comply with Section 409A of the Code. Accordingly, other provisions of the Plan or this Agreement notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 9 will apply in order that the Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, will be exempt from or otherwise comply with Code Section 409A. In addition, the Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and/or this Agreement to ensure that all Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, are exempt from or otherwise comply, and in operation comply, with Code Section 409A (including, without limitation, the avoidance of penalties thereunder). Other provisions of the Plan and this Agreement notwithstanding, the Company makes no representations that the Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, will be exempt from or avoid any penalties that may apply under Code Section 409A, makes no undertaking to preclude Code Section 409A from applying to the Restricted Stock Units and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, and will not indemnify or provide a gross up payment to a Grantee (or his beneficiary) for any taxes, interest or penalties imposed under Code Section 409A. Other restrictions and limitations under any deferred compensation plan or general rules applicable to deferrals apply to electively deferred 409A RSUs and related dividend equivalents and, if those provisions apply and are compliant with Code Section 409A, they shall take precedence over inconsistent provisions of this Section 9.

 

12


(b) Restrictions on 409A RSUs. In the case of any 409A RSUs, the following restrictions will apply:

(i) Separation from Service. Any payment in settlement of the 409A RSUs that is triggered by a termination of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director (or other termination of employment) hereunder will occur only if the Grantee has had a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h), with such separation from service treated as the termination for purposes of determining the timing of any settlement based on such termination.

(ii) Six-Month Delay Rule. The “six-month delay rule” will apply to 409A RSUs if these four conditions are met:

(A) the Grantee has a separation from service (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h)) for a reason other than death;

(B) a payment in settlement is triggered by such separation from service; and

(C) the Grantee is a “specified employee” under Code Section 409A.

If it applies, the six-month delay rule will delay a settlement of 409A RSUs triggered by separation from service where the settlement otherwise would occur within six months after the separation from service, subject to the following:

(D) any delayed payment shall be made on the date six months and one day after separation from service;

(E) during the six-month delay period, accelerated settlement will be permitted in the event of the Grantee’s death and for no other reason (including no acceleration upon a Change in Control) except to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A; and

(F) any settlement that is not triggered by a separation from service, or is triggered by a separation from service but would be made more than six months after separation (without applying this six-month delay rule), shall be unaffected by the six-month delay rule.

(c) Other Compliance Provisions. The following provisions apply to Restricted Stock Units:

(i) Each tranche of Restricted Stock Units (including dividend equivalents accrued thereon) that potentially could vest at or following a Determination Date under Section 2 shall be deemed a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A.

(ii) The settlement of 409A RSUs may not be accelerated by the Company except to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A. The Company may, however, accelerate vesting (i.e., may waive the risk of forfeiture tied to termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or

 

13


Non-Employee Director) of 409A RSUs, without changing the settlement terms of such 409A RSUs.

(iii) It is understood that Good Reason for purposes of this Agreement is limited to circumstances that qualify under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(n)(2).

(iv) Any restriction imposed on 409A RSUs hereunder or under the terms of other documents solely to ensure compliance with Code Section 409A shall not be applied to a Restricted Stock Unit that is not a 409A RSU except to the extent necessary to preserve the status of such Restricted Stock Unit as not being a “deferral of compensation” under Code Section 409A.

(v) If any mandatory term required for 409A RSUs or other RSUs, or related dividend equivalents or other related rights, to avoid tax penalties under Code Section 409A is not otherwise explicitly provided under this document or other applicable documents, such term is hereby incorporated by reference and fully applicable as though set forth at length herein.

(vi) In the case of any settlement of Restricted Stock Units during a specified period following the Determination Date or other date triggering a right to settlement, the Grantee shall have no influence (other than permitted deferral elections) on any determination as to the tax year in which the settlement will be made.

(vii) In the case of any Restricted Stock Unit that is not a 409A RSU, if the circumstances arise constituting a Disability but termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director has not in fact resulted immediately without an election by the Grantee, then only the Company or a Subsidiary may elect to terminate the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director due to such Disability.

(viii) If the Company has a right of setoff that could apply to a 409A RSU, such right may only be exercised at the time the 409A RSU would have been settled, and may be exercised only as a setoff against an obligation that arose not more than 30 days before and within the same year as the settlement date if application of such setoff right against an earlier obligation would not be permitted under Code Section 409A.

(ix) Any election to defer settlement of Restricted Stock Units must comply with the election timing rules under Code Section 409A.

10. Deferral. If permitted by the Administrator, the issuance of the Shares issuable with respect to the Restricted Stock Units may be deferred upon such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator, subject to the Administrator’s determination that any such right of deferral or any term thereof complies with applicable laws or regulations in effect from time to time, including but not limited to Section 409A of the Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Shares issuable with respect to electively deferred 409A RSUs, and related dividend equivalents, shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of this

 

14


Agreement, and for this purpose shall be considered rights related to the 409A RSUs, to the extent applicable and not otherwise superseded by any deferred compensation plan or general rules applicable to electively deferred 409A RSUs, until such 409A RSUs are settled and the Shares issued, including but not limited to Sections 5, 6(d), 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 of this Agreement.

11. No Effect on Employment or Rights under the Plan. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee the right to continue in the employment of the Company or any Subsidiary or affect any right which the Company or any Subsidiary may have to terminate the employment of the Grantee regardless of the effect of such termination of employment on the rights of the Grantee under the Plan or this Agreement. If the Grantee’s employment is terminated for any reason whatsoever (and whether lawful or otherwise), he will not be entitled to claim any compensation for or in respect of any consequent diminution or extinction of his rights or benefits (actual or prospective) under this Agreement or any Award or otherwise in connection with the Plan. The rights and obligations of the Grantee under the terms of his employment with the Company or any Subsidiary will not be affected by his participation in the Plan or this Agreement, and neither the Plan nor this Agreement form part of any contract of employment between the Grantee and the Company or any Subsidiary. The granting of Awards under the Plan is entirely at the discretion of the Administrator, and the Grantee shall not in any circumstances have any right to be granted an Award.

12. Governing Laws. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

13. Successors; Severability; Entire Agreement; Headings. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and the Grantee and their heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. In the event that any one or more of the provisions or portion thereof contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the same shall not invalidate or otherwise affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof had never been contained herein. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, any rules adopted by the Company or the Administrator and applicable to this Agreement and the terms of any elective deferral of the Grantee applicable to the Restricted Stock Units, which are incorporated herein by reference, this Agreement expresses the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to such terms, restrictions and limitations.

14. Grantee Acknowledgements and Consents.

(a) Data Privacy. As communicated in Jabil’s Notice of Data Collection, Processing and Transfer of Employee Personal Data, as updated from time to time.

Data Collection and Usage. The Company collects, processes and uses personal data about the Grantee, including but not limited to, the Grantee’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all awards, rights or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Grantee or the Grantee’s employer. In order for the Grantee to participate in the Plan, the Company will collect his or her personal data for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis for the processing of the Grantee’s personal data is based on the necessity for Company’s performance of its obligations under the Plan and pursuant to the Company’s legitimate business interests. In those jurisdictions where the Grantee’s consent to the processing of the Grantee’s personal data is required, the Grantee expressly and explicitly consents to the collection, processing and transfer practices as described herein.

Stock Plan Administration and Service Providers. The Company may transfer the Grantee’s data to one or more third party stock plan service providers based in the United States (“U.S.”), which may assist the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Such service provider(s) may open an account for the Grantee to receive and trade Shares. The Grantee may be asked to acknowledge, or agree to, separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider(s).

International Data Transfers. The Grantee’s personal data will be transferred from the Grantee’s country to the U.S., where the Company and its service providers are based. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of the Grantee’s data to the U.S. is the Grantee’s consent (where required) or the Company’s participation in a privacy shield agreement and/or adequate agreements.

Data Retention. The Company will use the Grantee’s personal data only as long as necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’s participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws. When the Company no longer needs the Grantee’s personal data, which will generally be seven (7) years after the Grantee participates in the Plan, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps the data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be relevant laws or regulations.

Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdraw. The Grantee’s participation in the Plan and his or her grant of consent, if required, if purely voluntary. The Grantee may reject participation in the Plan or withdraw the Grantee’s consent, if applicable, at any time. If the Grantee rejects participation in the Plan, does not consent, if applicable, or withdraws his or her consent, if applicable, the Grantee may be unable to participate in the Plan. This would not affect the Grantee’s existing employment or salary; instead, the Grantee merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.

 

16


Data Subject Rights. The Grantee understands that he or she may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in the Grantee’s jurisdiction. Depending on where the Grantee is based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data processed by the Company, (ii) rectification of incorrect data, (iii) deletion of data, (iv) restrictions on processing of data, (v) portability of data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Grantee’s jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Grantee’s personal data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, the Grantee can contact his or her local human resources department.

(b) Voluntary Participation. The Grantee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary. The value of the Restricted Stock Units is an extraordinary item of compensation. Unless otherwise expressly provided in a separate agreement between the Grantee and the Company or a Subsidiary, the Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.

(c) Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT ELECTRONICALLY, THE GRANTEE HEREBY CONSENTS TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF THE PLAN, THE PROSPECTUS FOR THE PLAN AND OTHER DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THE PLAN (COLLECTIVELY, THE “PLAN DOCUMENTS”). THE COMPANY WILL DELIVER THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ELECTRONICALLY TO THE GRANTEE BY E-MAIL, BY POSTING SUCH DOCUMENTS ON ITS INTRANET WEBSITE OR BY ANOTHER MODE OF ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AS DETERMINED BY THE COMPANY IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT ELECTRONICALLY, THE GRANTEE CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT SUCH PROCEDURES AND DELIVERY MAY BE EFFECTED BY A BROKER OR THIRD PARTY ENGAGED BY THE COMPANY TO PROVIDE ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES RELATED TO THE PLAN. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT ELECTRONICALLY, THE GRANTEE HEREBY CONSENTS TO ANY AND ALL PROCEDURES THE COMPANY HAS ESTABLISHED OR MAY ESTABLISH FOR ANY ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE SYSTEM FOR DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE OF ANY PLAN DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING THIS AGREEMENT, THAT THE COMPANY MAY ELECT TO DELIVER AND AGREES THAT HIS ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE IS THE SAME AS, AND WILL HAVE THE SAME FORCE AND EFFECT AS, HIS MANUAL SIGNATURE. THE COMPANY WILL SEND TO THE GRANTEE AN E-MAIL ANNOUNCEMENT WHEN THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE ELECTRONICALLY FOR THE GRANTEE’S REVIEW, DOWNLOAD OR PRINTING AND WILL PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS ON WHERE THE PLAN DOCUMENTS CAN BE FOUND. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING BY THE COMPANY, THE GRANTEE WILL NOT INCUR ANY COSTS FOR RECEIVING THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ELECTRONICALLY THROUGH THE COMPANY’S COMPUTER NETWORK. THE GRANTEE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE PAPER COPIES OF ANY PLAN DOCUMENT BY SENDING A WRITTEN REQUEST FOR A PAPER COPY TO THE ADMINISTRATOR. THE GRANTEE’S CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF THE PLAN DOCUMENTS WILL BE VALID AND REMAIN EFFECTIVE UNTIL THE EARLIER OF (i) THE TERMINATION OF THE GRANTEE’S PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN AND (ii) THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE GRANTEE’S CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE PLAN DOCUMENTS. THE COMPANY

 

17


ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE GRANTEE HAS THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO WITHDRAW HIS CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE PLAN DOCUMENTS BY SENDING A WRITTEN NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL TO THE ADMINISTRATOR. IF THE GRANTEE WITHDRAWS HIS CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE, THE COMPANY WILL RESUME SENDING PAPER COPIES OF THE PLAN DOCUMENTS WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF ITS RECEIPT OF THE WITHDRAWAL NOTICE. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT ELECTRONICALLY, THE GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE IS ABLE TO ACCESS, VIEW AND RETAIN AN E-MAIL ANNOUNCEMENT INFORMING THE GRANTEE THAT THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE IN EITHER HTML, PDF OR SUCH OTHER FORMAT AS THE COMPANY DETERMINES IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION.

(d) Unfunded Plan. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that any rights of the Grantee relating to the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights shall constitute bookkeeping entries on the books of the Company and shall not create in the Grantee any right to, or claim against, any specific assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, nor result in the creation of any trust or escrow account for the Grantee. With respect to the Grantee’s entitlement to any payment hereunder, the Grantee shall be a general creditor of the Company.

15. Additional Acknowledgements.

The Grantee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions relating to the Plan and this Agreement.

16. Country Appendix. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Restricted Stock Unit grant and any Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the applicable terms and provisions as set forth in the Country Appendix attached hereto and incorporated herein, if any, for the Grantee’s country of residence (and country of employment or engagement as a Consultant, if different).

COUNTRY APPENDIX

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

This Country Appendix (“Appendix”) includes the following additional terms and conditions that govern the Grantee’s Stock Award for all Grantees that reside and/or work outside of the United States and outside of the European Union.

Notifications

This Country Appendix also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Grantee should be aware with respect to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of August 2019. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Grantee not rely on the information in this Country Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that the Restricted Stock Units vest, or Shares are delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, or the Grantee sells any Shares acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Grantee’s particular situation, and none of the Company, its Subsidiaries, nor the Administrator is in a position to assure the Grantee of a particular result. Accordingly, the Grantee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Grantee’s country of residence and/or work may apply to the Grantee’s situation.

Finally, if the Grantee transfers employment after the Grant Date, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes following the Grant Date, the notifications contained herein may not be applicable to the Grantee, and the Administrator shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to the Grantee.

Terms and Conditions Applicable to All Non-U.S. Jurisdictions

English Language. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that it is the Grantee’s express intent that this Agreement, the Plan and all other documents, rules, procedures, forms, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the Stock Award, be drawn up in English. The Grantee further acknowledges that he or she is sufficiently proficient in English, or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, so as to allow the Grantee to understand the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Plan and any rules, procedures, forms or documents related to the Stock Award. If the Grantee has received this Agreement, the Plan or any other rules, procedures, forms or documents related to the Stock Award translated into a language other than English, and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

 

19


Repatriation; Compliance with Laws. The Grantee agrees, as a condition of the grant of the Stock Award, to repatriate all payments attributable to the Award and/or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends, dividend equivalents, and any proceeds derived from the sale of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Agreement) in accordance with all foreign exchange rules and regulations applicable to the Grantee. The Company and the Administrator reserve the right to impose other requirements on the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, on the Restricted Stock Units and on any Shares acquired or cash payments made pursuant to the Agreement, to the extent the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Administrator determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or to facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Finally, the Grantee agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Grantee’s personal legal and tax obligations under all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Grantee.

Commercial Relationship. The Grantee expressly recognizes that the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and the Company’s Stock Award grant does not constitute an employment relationship between the Grantee and the Company. The Grantee has been granted Stock Awards as a consequence of the commercial relationship between the Company and the Company’s Subsidiary that employs the Grantee, and the Company’s Subsidiary that employs the Grantee is the Grantee’s sole employer. Based on the foregoing, the Grantee expressly recognizes that (a) the Plan and the benefits the Grantee may derive from participation in the Plan do not establish any rights between the Grantee and the Subsidiary that employs the Grantee, (b) the Plan and the benefits the Grantee may derive from participation in the Plan are not part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by the Subsidiary that employs the Grantee, and (c) any modifications or amendments of the Plan by the Company or the Administrator, or a termination of the Plan by the Company, shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Grantee’s employment with the Subsidiary that employs the Grantee.

Private Placement. The grant of the Stock Award is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Grantee’s country of residence and/or employment but instead is intended to be a private placement. As a private placement, the Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under local law), and the grant of the Stock Award is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities.

Additional Acknowledgements. The GRANTEE also acknowledges and agrees to the following:

 

   

The grant of the Stock Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Stock Awards or benefits in lieu of the Stock Award even if Stock Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past.

 

   

The future value of the Shares and any related dividend equivalents is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty.

 

   

No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from the forfeiture of the Stock Award or any of the Restricted Stock Units or related dividend equivalents, the termination of the Plan, or the diminution in value of the Restricted Stock Units or Shares, and the Grantee irrevocably releases the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Administrator and their affiliates from any such claim that may arise.

 

20


   

None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, nor the Administrator is providing any tax, legal or financial advice or making any recommendations regarding the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units, or the Grantee’s acquisition or sale of the Shares delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. The Grantee is hereby advised to consult with his own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

Use of English Language. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that it is the Grantee’s express wish that this Agreement, as well as all documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant hereto or relating directly or indirectly hereto, be drawn up in English.

The form must be filed by April 30th of the following year. Foreign specified property also includes unvested Restricted Stock Units (generally at nil cost) if the C$100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign specified property. The Grantee should consult with his or her personal tax advisor to determine his or her reporting requirements.

Termination of Employment. For purposes of the Stock Award, except as otherwise provided under applicable law, the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment shall be the date that is the earliest of (i) the date on which the Grantee’s employment is terminated, (ii) the date on which the Grantee receives notice of termination, or (iii) the date on which the Grantee is no longer actively providing services to the Company or any Subsidiary, regardless of any notice period or period of pay in lieu of such notice required under applicable employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is employed (including, but not limited to statutory law, regulatory law and/or common law) or the terms of the Grantee’s employment agreement, if any.

Exhibit 10.4

JABIL INC.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

(PBRSU TSR - OEU)

This RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of October 17, 2019 (the “Grant Date”) between JABIL INC. a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and ______________ (the “Grantee”).

Background Information

A. The Board of Directors (the “Board”) and stockholders of the Company previously adopted the Jabil Circuit, Inc. 2011 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

B. Section 8 of the Plan provides that the Administrator shall have the discretion and right to grant Stock Awards, including Stock Awards denominated in units representing rights to receive shares, to any Employees or Consultants or Non-Employee Directors, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and any additional terms provided by the Administrator. The Administrator has made a Stock Award grant denominated in units to the Grantee as of the Grant Date pursuant to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.

C. The Grantee desires to accept the Stock Award grant and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement.

D. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Agreement.

Agreement

1. Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee _____ restricted stock units (the “Restricted Stock Units”) as of the Grant Date. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive a Share of Common Stock if the Restricted Stock Unit becomes vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with Section 2 or Section 3 of this Agreement. The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, no dividend rights and no voting rights with respect to the Restricted Stock Units or the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units unless and until the Restricted Stock Units become vested and non-forfeitable and such Shares are delivered to the Grantee in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement. The Grantee is required to pay no cash consideration for the grant of the Restricted Stock Units. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Restricted Stock Units and related rights are nontransferable as provided in Section 5 of this Agreement, (ii) the Restricted Stock Units are subject to forfeiture in the event the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates in certain circumstances, as specified in Section 6 of this Agreement, (iii) sales of Shares of Common Stock delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the Company’s policies regulating trading by Employees and Consultants, including any applicable “blackout” or other designated periods in which sales of Shares are not permitted, (iv) Shares delivered in settlement will be subject to any recoupment or “clawback” policy of the Company, regardless of whether


such recoupment or “clawback” policy is applied with prospective or retroactive effect, and (v) any entitlement to dividend equivalents will be in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement. The extent to which the Grantee’s rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units becomes vested and non-forfeitable shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement.

2. Vesting.

(a) Except as may be otherwise provided in Section 3 or Section 6 of this Agreement, the vesting of the Grantee’s rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units shall be determined in accordance with this Section 2. The extent to which the Grantee’s interest in the Restricted Stock Units becomes vested and non-forfeitable shall be based upon the satisfaction of the performance goal specified in this Section 2 (the “Performance Goal”), subject to Section 3. The Performance Goal shall be based upon a comparison of the Company’s total shareholder return, as defined below (“TSR”), to the TSR of each company (other than the Company) that comprises the S&P Supercomposite Technology Hardware and Equipment Index (the “Index”) during the period beginning September 1, 2019 and ending on August 31, 2022 (the “Performance Period”), provided that only the companies that comprise the Index as of the first day of the Performance Period shall be considered and any such company shall be deemed to have a TSR of negative 100 percent upon (i) the institution by or against such company of an insolvency, receivership or bankruptcy proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1532, or foreign insolvency regime, (ii) such company making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (iii) such company’s dissolution or ceasing to do business. The TSR for the Performance Period shall be measured at the end of the Performance Period. For purposes of this Agreement, TSR means the percentage rate of return, which can be positive or negative, from the Beginning Stock Price (as defined below) to the Closing Stock Price (as defined below) of the Common Shares of the Company and the common shares of beneficial interest issued by the relevant company in the 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” of the Common Shares of the Company and of the common shares of beneficial interest issued by the relevant company in the Index, as applicable, 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” of the Common Shares of the Company and of the common shares of beneficial interest issued by the relevant company in the Index, as applicable, means the average stock price for the 90-day period ending 30 days after the last day of the Performance Period.

(b) The portion of the Grantee’s rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units, if any, that becomes vested and nonforfeitable on the Determination Date (as defined below) shall be determined in accordance with the following schedule, using linear interpolation, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”):

 

2


Company TSR relative to the TSR of the

companies in the Index

   Percentage of Units/Shares Vested  

25th percentile or below

     0

Median

     100

75th percentile and above

     200

The continuous percentile rank calculation methodology shall be used for purposes of the preceding schedule; the Company shall be excluded in determining the percentile rank of the other companies in the Index, and the Company’s percentile rank shall be calculated by using linear interpolation between the percentile ranks of the other companies in the Index.

Notwithstanding the preceding schedule, if the Company’s TSR for the Performance Period is a negative number, but exceeds the Median percentile of the companies in the Index, then the percentage of the Restricted Stock Units determined in accordance with the preceding schedule shall be limited to 100%.

No fractional Shares shall be issued, and subject to the preceding limitation on the number of Shares available under this Agreement (that is, 200 percent of the related Shares), any fractional Share that would have resulted from the foregoing calculations shall be rounded up to the next whole Share.

(c) The applicable portion of the Restricted Stock Units shall become vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with this Section 2, subject to the determination that the corresponding Performance Goal and all other conditions for the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units have been satisfied; provided the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director has not terminated before the Determination Date, as defined herein. This determination shall be made within ninety (90) days after the last day of the Performance Period (“Determination Date”). The Committee shall make this determination, provided that, for any Grantee who is not an “officer” of the Company for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the determination may be made by such Grantee’s divisional Executive Vice President or Chief Executive Officer, by the Chief Operating Officer of the Company or by the President of the Company (each, an “Authorized Officer”). The Committee’s or such Authorized Officer’s good faith determination shall be final, binding and conclusive on all persons, including, but not limited to, the Company and the Grantee. The Committee or such Authorized Officer may, in its discretion, reduce the amount of compensation otherwise to be paid or earned in connection with this award, notwithstanding the level of achievement of the Performance Goal or any contrary provision of the Plan; provided no such reduction may be made after a Change in Control. The Grantee shall not be entitled to any claim or recourse if any action or inaction by the Company, or any other circumstance or event, including any circumstance or event outside the control of the Grantee, adversely affects the ability of the Grantee to satisfy the Performance Goal or in any way prevents the satisfaction of the Performance Goal.

3. Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that is not yet vested on the date such Change in Control is determined to have occurred:

(a) shall become fully vested on the first anniversary of the date of such Change in Control (the “Change in Control Anniversary”) if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director does not terminate prior to the Change in Control Anniversary;

 

3


(b) shall become fully vested on the Date of Termination if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates prior to the Change in Control Anniversary as a result of termination by the Company without Cause or resignation by the Grantee for Good Reason; or

(c) shall not become fully vested if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates prior to the Change in Control Anniversary as a result of termination by the Company for Cause or resignation by the Grantee without Good Reason, but only to the extent such Restricted Stock Units have not previously become vested.

For purposes of this Agreement, the references to “fully vested” refer to vesting of the number of Restricted Stock Units that would vest upon achievement of the maximum level of achievement of the Performance Goal under Section 2. This Section 3 shall supersede the standard vesting provision contained in Section 2 of this Agreement only to the extent that it results in accelerated vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, and it shall not result in a delay of any vesting or non-vesting of any Restricted Stock Units that otherwise would occur during the Performance Period under the terms of the standard vesting provision contained in Section 2 of this Agreement.

For purposes of this Section 3, the following definitions shall apply:

(d) “Cause” means:

(i) The Grantee’s conviction of a crime involving fraud or dishonesty; or

(ii) The Grantee’s continued willful or reckless material misconduct in the performance of the Grantee’s duties after receipt of written notice from the Company concerning such misconduct;

provided, however, that for purposes of Section 3(d)(ii), Cause shall not include any one or more of the following: bad judgment, negligence or any act or omission believed by the Grantee in good faith to have been in or not opposed to the interest of the Company (without intent of the Grantee to gain, directly or indirectly, a profit to which the Grantee was not legally entitled).

(e) “Good Reason” means:

(i) The assignment to the Grantee of any duties adverse to the Grantee and materially inconsistent with the Grantee’s position (including status, titles and reporting requirement), authority, duties or responsibilities, or any other action by the Company that results in a material diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action that is not taken in bad faith;

 

4


(ii) Any material reduction in the Grantee’s compensation; or

(iii) Change in location of the Grantee’s assigned office of more than 35 miles without prior consent of the Grantee.

The Grantee’s resignation will not constitute a resignation for Good Reason unless the Grantee first provides written notice to the Company of the existence of the Good Reason within 90 days following the effective date of the occurrence of the Good Reason, and the Good Reason remains uncorrected by the Company for more than 30 days following receipt of such written notice of the Good Reason from the Grantee to the Company, and the effective date of the Grantee’s resignation is within one year following the effective date of the occurrence of the Good Reason.

4. Timing and Manner of Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.

(a) Settlement Timing. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units become vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with Section 2, Section 3 or Section 6 of this Agreement, the Grantee will have no right to settlement of any such Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units will be settled under this Section 4 by the Company delivering to the Grantee (or his beneficiary in the event of death) a number of Shares equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units that have become vested and non-forfeitable and are to be settled at the applicable settlement date. In the case of Restricted Stock Units that become vested and non-forfeitable at the Determination Date in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement (including Restricted Stock Units not forfeited by operation of Section 6(a) or 6(c)), such Restricted Stock Units will be settled at a date that is as prompt as practicable after the Determination Date but in no event later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the Determination Date (settlement that is prompt but in no event later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the applicable vesting date is referred to herein as “Prompt Settlement”). The settlement of Restricted Stock Units that become vested and non-forfeitable in circumstances governed by Section 3 or Section 6(b) will be as follows:

(i) Restricted Stock Units that do not constitute a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A will be settled as follows:

(A) Restricted Stock Units that become vested in accordance with Section 6(b) (due to the Grantee’s death) will be settled within the period extending to not later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the later of the end of calendar year or the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which death occurred; and

(B) Restricted Stock Units that become vested in accordance with Section 3(a) (on the Change in Control Anniversary) or Section 3(b) (during the year following a Change in Control) will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the applicable vesting date under Section 3(a) or 3(b).

 

5


(ii) Restricted Stock Units that constitute a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A (“409A RSUs”) will be settled as follows:

(A) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 6(b) (due to the Grantee’s death) will be settled on the 30th day after the date of the Grantee’s death;

(B) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 3(a) (on the Change in Control Anniversary), if in connection with the Change in Control there occurred a change in the ownership of the Company, a change in effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(5) (a “409A Change in Control”), will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the first anniversary of the 409A Change in Control, and if there occurred no 409A Change in Control in connection with the Change in Control, such 409A RSUs will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the earliest of the Determination Date, one year after a 409A Change in Control not related to the Change in Control or the termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director, subject to Section 9(b) (including the six-month delay rule); and

(C) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 3(b) (during the year following a Change in Control) will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director, subject to Section 9(b) (including the six-month delay rule).

(b) Manner of Settlement. The Company may make delivery of shares of Common Stock in settlement of Restricted Stock Units by either delivering one or more certificates representing such Shares to the Grantee (or his beneficiary in the event of death), registered in the name of the Grantee (and any joint name, if so directed by the Grantee), or by depositing such Shares into a stock brokerage account maintained for the Grantee (or of which the Grantee is a joint owner, with the consent of the Grantee). In no event will the Company issue fractional Shares.

(c) Effect of Settlement. Neither the Grantee nor any of the Grantee’s successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives shall have any further rights or interests in any Restricted Stock Units that have been paid and settled. Although a settlement date or range of dates for settlement are specified above in order to comply with Code Section 409A, the Company retains discretion to determine the settlement date, and no Grantee or beneficiary of a Grantee shall have any claim for damages or loss by virtue of the fact that the market price of Common Stock was higher on a given date upon which settlement could have been made as compared to the market price on or after the actual settlement date (any claim relating to settlement will be limited to a claim for delivery of Shares and related dividend equivalents).

5. Restrictions on Transfer. The Grantee shall not have the right to make or permit to occur any transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock Units, related rights to dividend equivalents or any other rights relating thereto, whether outright or as security, with or without consideration, voluntary or involuntary, and the

 

6


Restricted Stock Units, related rights to dividend equivalents and other rights relating thereto, shall not be subject to execution, attachment, lien, or similar process; provided, however, the Grantee will be entitled to designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any settlement in respect of the Restricted Stock Units upon the death of the Grantee, in the manner and to the extent permitted by the Administrator. Any purported transfer or other transaction not permitted under this Section 5 shall be deemed null and void.

6. Forfeiture. Except as may be otherwise provided in this Section 6, the Grantee shall forfeit all of his rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units and related dividend equivalents if his Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates for any reason before the Restricted Stock Units become vested in accordance with Section 2 or Section 3 of this Agreement.

(a) Retirement. In the event of the Grantee’s Retirement in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6(a), the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall be treated as not having terminated for a number of years determined in accordance with this Section 6(a) for purposes of application of the vesting provisions of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 6(a), “Retirement” means termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director after the Grant Date or the end of the Company fiscal year in the Performance Period at which the Grantee has completed twenty (20) Full Years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director.

For purposes of this Section 6(a), “Full Year” means a twelve-month period beginning on the date of the Grantee’s commencement of service for the Company or a Subsidiary and each anniversary thereof. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6(a), the time period of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director for a Grantee whose service with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates and who subsequently returns to service with the Company or a Subsidiary shall include all time periods of the Grantee’s service for the Company or a Subsidiary for purposes of this Section 6(a). This Section 6(a) will only apply to a Retirement if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director does not terminate due to Cause as defined in this Agreement. In addition, this Section 6(a) will only apply to a Retirement if the Grantee executes the agreement, if any, required under Section 6(d). For a Grantee who became an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director of the Company or a Subsidiary following the acquisition of his or her employer by the Company or a Subsidiary, service with the acquired employer shall not count toward the number of years of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director for purposes of this Section 6(a), and Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall be measured from the commencement of the Grantee’s service for the Company or a Subsidiary following such acquisition. For purposes of this Section 6(a), the number of years of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall also include service with Jabil Circuit Co., a Michigan corporation and predecessor to the Company, and any Predecessor Subsidiary. For purposes of this Section 6(a), “Predecessor Subsidiary” means a company of which not less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares were held by Jabil Circuit Co. or a Predecessor Subsidiary. For purposes of this Section 6(a), for a Grantee who subsequent to the Grant Date performs service for the Company or a Subsidiary in a role as an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary that no longer includes being a state law

 

7


officer of the Company or an employee of the Company with a title that is at least the equivalent of Vice President, or a substantially equivalent position of a Subsidiary (“Subsequent Non-Officer Service”), the time period of such Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall not include the time period of any such Subsequent Non-Officer Service, but shall include any time period during which such Grantee subsequently resumes service for the Company or a Subsidiary in a role as an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary that includes being a state law officer of the Company or an employee of the Company with a title that is at least the equivalent of Vice President, or a substantially equivalent position of a Subsidiary.

If this Section 6(a) applies to the Grantee’s Retirement, the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall be treated as not having terminated for the number of years beginning on the effective date of the Retirement, or the remaining portion of the vesting period, whichever is applicable, in accordance with the following table based on the Grantee’s age and full years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director at the later of the Grant Date or the Company’s fiscal year-end next preceding the effective date of the Retirement:

 

Full Years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director
20 Years    25 Years    30 or More Years
2 years    3 years    Full vesting period

Accordingly, upon such Retirement, Restricted Stock Units that otherwise would be forfeited because such Restricted Stock Units remain unvested (and not previously forfeited) at the effective date of the Retirement will not be forfeited if the Determination Date would have been reached had the Grantee remained in Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director for the additional period specified in the table above. Vesting of such Restricted Stock Units will remain subject to Section 2, and settlement of such Restricted Stock Units will remain subject to Section 4. Any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that could not potentially become vested under Section 2 assuming the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director as set forth in the above table will be forfeited upon Retirement. The death of the Grantee following Retirement or a Change in Control following Retirement shall not affect the application of this Section 6(a), although such events will trigger a settlement of the Restricted Stock Units not forfeited by operation of this Section 6(a) in accordance with Section 4.

(b) Death. In the event that the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates due to death at a time that the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units have not yet vested, a pro rata portion of the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units shall vest as follows: First, for purposes of Section 2, the Company shall determine the

 

8


actual level of the Performance Goal achieved (such determination may be by means of a good faith estimate) as of the Company’s fiscal quarter-end coincident with or next preceding the Grantee’s death (or, if the Grantee’s death occurs in the first fiscal quarter of the Performance Period, then the Company’s fiscal quarter-end coincident with or next following the Grantee’s death) and calculating, on a preliminary basis, the resulting number of Restricted Stock Units that would have become vested (based on such calculation) as of the Determination Date. Second, a pro rata portion of that number of Restricted Stock Units will be calculated by multiplying that number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months from the first day of the Performance Period through the date of death (rounding any partial month to the next whole month) and the denominator of which is 36. No fractional Shares shall be issued, and subject to the limitation under Section 2(b) on the number of related Shares available under this Agreement, any fractional Share that would have resulted from the foregoing calculations shall be rounded up to the next whole Share. Any Restricted Stock Units that were unvested at the date of death and that exceed the pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units that become vested under this Section 6(b) shall be forfeited.

(c) Disability. In the event that the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates due to Disability at a time that the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units have not yet vested, a pro rata portion of the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units shall remain outstanding and shall be eligible for future vesting based on the actual level of achievement in the Performance Period, provided, however, that non-forfeiture of such Restricted Stock Units will only apply if the Grantee executes the agreement, if any, required under Section 6(d). The pro rata portion shall be calculated by multiplying the number of Restricted Stock Units originally granted by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months from the first day of the Performance Period through the date of termination (rounding any partial month to the next whole month) and the denominator of which is 36. No fractional Shares shall be issued, and subject to the limitation under Section 2(b) on the number of related Shares available under this Agreement, any fractional Share that would have resulted from the foregoing calculations shall be rounded up to the next whole Share. Vesting of such Restricted Stock Units will remain subject to Section 2, and settlement of such Restricted Stock Units will remain subject to Section 4. The death of the Grantee following a termination governed by this Section 6(c), or a Change in Control following such termination, shall not increase or decrease the number of Restricted Stock Units forfeited or not forfeited under this Section 6(c), although such events will trigger a settlement of the Restricted Stock Units not forfeited by operation of this Section 6(c) in accordance with Section 4. Any Restricted Stock Units that at any time after the date of a termination governed by this Section 6(c) exceed the pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units that remain outstanding and potentially subject to future vesting under this Section 6(c) shall be forfeited.

(d) Execution of Separation Agreement and Release. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, as a condition to the non-forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units upon Retirement under Section 6(a) or upon a termination due to Disability under Section 6(c), the Grantee shall be required to execute a separation agreement and release, in a form prescribed by the Administrator, setting forth covenants relating to noncompetition, nonsolicitation, nondisparagement, confidentiality and similar covenants for the protection of the Company’s business, and releasing the Company from liability in connection with the Grantee’s termination. Such agreement shall provide for the forfeiture and/or clawback of the Restricted Stock Units subject to Section 6(a) or 6(c), and the Shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in settlement of the Restricted Stock

 

9


Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, in the event of the Grantee’s failure to comply with the terms of such agreement. The Administrator will provide the form of such agreement to the Grantee at the date of termination, and the Grantee must execute and return such form within the period specified by law or, if no such period is specified, within 21 days after receipt of the form of agreement, and not revoke such agreement within any permitted revocation period (the end of these periods being the “Agreement Effectiveness Deadline”). If any Restricted Stock Units subject to Section 6(a) or 6(c) or related rights would be required to be settled before the Agreement Effectiveness Deadline, the settlement shall not be delayed pending the receipt and effectiveness of the agreement, but any such Restricted Stock Units or related rights settled before such receipt and effectiveness shall be subject to a “clawback” (repaying to the Company the Shares and cash paid upon settlement) in the event that the agreement is not received and effective and not revoked by the Agreement Effectiveness Deadline.

7. Dividend Equivalents; Adjustments.

(a) Dividend Equivalents. During the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the date that Shares are issued in settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit, the Grantee will accrue dividend equivalents on Restricted Stock Units equal to the cash dividend or distribution that would have been paid on the Restricted Stock Unit had the Restricted Stock Unit been an issued and outstanding Share of Common Stock on the record date for the dividend or distribution. Such accrued dividend equivalents (i) will vest and become payable upon the same terms and at the same time of settlement as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate, and (ii) will be denominated and payable solely in cash. Dividend equivalent payments, at settlement, will be net of applicable federal, state, local and foreign income and social insurance withholding taxes (subject to Section 8).

(b) Adjustments. The number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the Grantee shall be subject to adjustment by the Company, in accordance with Section 13 of the Plan, in order to preserve without enlarging the Grantee’s rights with respect to such Restricted Stock Units. Any such adjustment shall be made taking into account any crediting of cash dividend equivalents to the Grantee under Section 7(a) in connection with such transaction or event. In the case of an extraordinary cash dividend, the Committee may determine to adjust the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units under this Section 7(b) in lieu of crediting cash dividend equivalents under Section 7(a). Restricted Stock Units credited to the Grantee as a result of an adjustment shall be subject to the same forfeiture and settlement terms as applied to the related Restricted Stock Units prior to the adjustment.

8. Responsibility for Taxes and Withholding. Regardless of any action the Company, any of its Subsidiaries and/or the Grantee’s employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or any of its affiliates, if any. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the delivery of Shares, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant

 

10


to such delivery and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of any award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

(a) withholding from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries; or

(b) withholding in Shares to be delivered upon settlement; or

(c) withholding from dividend equivalent payments (payable in cash) related to the Shares to be delivered at settlement.

To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable withholding rates but not exceeding the maximum statutory withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares attributable to the awarded Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.

Finally, the Grantee shall pay to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that are not satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

9. Code Section 409A.

(a) General. Payments made pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code or to otherwise comply with Section 409A of the Code. Accordingly, other provisions of the Plan or this Agreement notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 9 will apply in order that the Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, will be exempt from or otherwise comply with Code Section 409A. In addition, the Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and/or this Agreement to ensure that all Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, are exempt from or otherwise comply, and in operation comply, with Code Section 409A (including, without limitation, the avoidance of penalties thereunder). Other provisions of the Plan and this Agreement notwithstanding, the Company makes no representations that the Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, will be exempt from or

 

11


avoid any penalties that may apply under Code Section 409A, makes no undertaking to preclude Code Section 409A from applying to the Restricted Stock Units and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, and will not indemnify or provide a gross up payment to a Grantee (or his beneficiary) for any taxes, interest or penalties imposed under Code Section 409A.

(b) Restrictions on 409A RSUs. In the case of any 409A RSUs, the following restrictions will apply:

(i) Separation from Service. Any payment in settlement of the 409A RSUs that is triggered by a termination of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director (or other termination of employment) hereunder will occur only if the Grantee has had a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h), with such separation from service treated as the termination for purposes of determining the timing of any settlement based on such termination.

(ii) Six-Month Delay Rule. The “six-month delay rule” will apply to 409A RSUs if these four conditions are met:

(A) the Grantee has a separation from service (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h)) for a reason other than death;

(B) a payment in settlement is triggered by such separation from service; and    

(C) the Grantee is a “specified employee” under Code Section 409A.

If it applies, the six-month delay rule will delay a settlement of 409A RSUs triggered by separation from service where the settlement otherwise would occur within six months after the separation from service, subject to the following:

(D) any delayed payment shall be made on the date six months and one day after separation from service;

(E) during the six-month delay period, accelerated settlement will be permitted in the event of the Grantee’s death and for no other reason (including no acceleration upon a Change in Control) except to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A; and

(F) any settlement that is not triggered by a separation from service, or is triggered by a separation from service but would be made more than six months after separation (without applying this six-month delay rule), shall be unaffected by the six-month delay rule.

(c) Other Compliance Provisions. The following provisions apply to Restricted Stock Units:

(i) Each tranche of Restricted Stock Units (including dividend equivalents accrued thereon) that potentially could vest at or following a Determination Date under Section 2 shall be deemed a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A.

 

12


(ii) The settlement of 409A RSUs may not be accelerated by the Company except to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A. The Company may, however, accelerate vesting (i.e., may waive the risk of forfeiture tied to termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director) of 409A RSUs, without changing the settlement terms of such 409A RSUs.

(iii) It is understood that Good Reason for purposes of this Agreement is limited to circumstances that qualify under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(n)(2).

(iv) Any restriction imposed on 409A RSUs hereunder or under the terms of other documents solely to ensure compliance with Code Section 409A shall not be applied to a Restricted Stock Unit that is not a 409A RSU except to the extent necessary to preserve the status of such Restricted Stock Unit as not being a “deferral of compensation” under Code Section 409A.

(v) If any mandatory term required for 409A RSUs or other RSUs, or related dividend equivalents or other related rights, to avoid tax penalties under Code Section 409A is not otherwise explicitly provided under this document or other applicable documents, such term is hereby incorporated by reference and fully applicable as though set forth at length herein.

(vi) In the case of any settlement of Restricted Stock Units during a specified period following the Determination Date or other date triggering a right to settlement, the Grantee shall have no influence on any determination as to the tax year in which the settlement will be made.

(vii) In the case of any Restricted Stock Unit that is not a 409A RSU, if the circumstances arise constituting a Disability but termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director has not in fact resulted immediately without an election by the Grantee, then only the Company or a Subsidiary may elect to terminate the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director due to such Disability.

(viii) If the Company has a right of setoff that could apply to a 409A RSU, such right may only be exercised at the time the 409A RSU would have been settled, and may be exercised only as a setoff against an obligation that arose not more than 30 days before and within the same year as the settlement date if application of such setoff right against an earlier obligation would not be permitted under Code Section 409A.

10. No Effect on Employment or Rights under the Plan. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee the right to continue in the employment of the Company or any Subsidiary or affect any right which the Company or any Subsidiary may have to terminate the employment of the Grantee regardless of the effect of such termination of employment on the

 

13


rights of the Grantee under the Plan or this Agreement. If the Grantee’s employment is terminated for any reason whatsoever (and whether lawful or otherwise), he will not be entitled to claim any compensation for or in respect of any consequent diminution or extinction of his rights or benefits (actual or prospective) under this Agreement or any Award or otherwise in connection with the Plan. The rights and obligations of the Grantee under the terms of his employment with the Company or any Subsidiary will not be affected by his participation in the Plan or this Agreement, and neither the Plan nor this Agreement form part of any contract of employment between the Grantee and the Company or any Subsidiary. The granting of Awards under the Plan is entirely at the discretion of the Administrator, and the Grantee shall not in any circumstances have any right to be granted an Award.

11. Governing Laws. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

12. Successors; Severability; Entire Agreement; Headings. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and the Grantee and their heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. In the event that any one or more of the provisions or portion thereof contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the same shall not invalidate or otherwise affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof had never been contained herein. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and any rules adopted by the Company or the Administrator and applicable to this Agreement, which are incorporated herein by reference, this Agreement expresses the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to such terms, restrictions and limitations. Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in construing this Agreement.

13. Grantee Acknowledgements and Consents.

(a) Data Privacy. As communicated in Jabil’s Notice of Data Collection, Processing and Transfer of Employee Personal Data, as updated from time to time.

Data Collection and Usage. The Company collects, processes and uses personal data about the Grantee, including but not limited to, the Grantee’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all awards, rights or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Grantee or the Grantee’s employer. In order for the Grantee to participate in the Plan, the Company will collect his or her personal data for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis for the processing of the Grantee’s personal data is based on the necessity for Company’s performance of its obligations under the Plan and pursuant to the Company’s legitimate business interests.

Stock Plan Administration and Service Providers. The Company may transfer the Grantee’s data to one or more third party stock plan service providers based in the United States (“U.S.”), which may assist the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Such service provider(s) may open an account for the Grantee to receive and trade Shares. The Grantee may be asked to acknowledge, or agree to, separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider(s).

International Data Transfers. The Grantee’s personal data will be transferred from the Grantee’s country to the U.S., where the Company and its service providers are based. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of the Grantee’s data to the U.S. is that it is authorized by the Company’s participation in the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and/or its use of the standard data protection clauses adopted by the EU Commission.

Data Retention. The Company will use the Grantee’s personal data only as long as necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’s participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws. When the Company no longer needs the Grantee’s personal data, which will generally be seven (7) years after the Grantee participates in the Plan, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps the data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be relevant laws or regulations.

Data Subject Rights. The Grantee understands that he or she may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in the Grantee’s jurisdiction. Depending on where the Grantee is based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data processed by the Company, (ii) rectification of incorrect data, (iii) deletion of data, (iv) restrictions on processing of data, (v) portability of data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Grantee’s jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Grantee’s personal data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, the Grantee can contact his or her local human resources department.

 

15


(b) Voluntary Participation. The Grantee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary. The value of the Restricted Stock Units is an extraordinary item of compensation. Unless otherwise expressly provided in a separate agreement between the Grantee and the Company or a Subsidiary, the Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.

(c) Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT ELECTRONICALLY, THE GRANTEE HEREBY CONSENTS TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF THE PLAN, THE PROSPECTUS FOR THE PLAN AND OTHER DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THE PLAN (COLLECTIVELY, THE “PLAN DOCUMENTS”). THE COMPANY WILL DELIVER THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ELECTRONICALLY TO THE GRANTEE BY E-MAIL, BY POSTING SUCH DOCUMENTS ON ITS INTRANET WEBSITE OR BY ANOTHER MODE OF ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AS DETERMINED BY THE COMPANY IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT ELECTRONICALLY, THE GRANTEE CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT SUCH PROCEDURES AND DELIVERY MAY BE EFFECTED BY A BROKER OR THIRD PARTY ENGAGED BY THE COMPANY TO PROVIDE ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES RELATED TO THE PLAN. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT ELECTRONICALLY, THE GRANTEE HEREBY CONSENTS TO ANY AND ALL PROCEDURES THE COMPANY HAS ESTABLISHED OR MAY ESTABLISH FOR ANY ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE SYSTEM FOR DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE OF ANY PLAN DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING THIS AGREEMENT, THAT THE COMPANY MAY ELECT TO DELIVER AND AGREES THAT HIS ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE IS THE SAME AS, AND WILL HAVE THE SAME FORCE AND EFFECT AS, HIS MANUAL SIGNATURE. THE COMPANY WILL SEND TO THE GRANTEE AN E-MAIL ANNOUNCEMENT WHEN THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE ELECTRONICALLY FOR THE GRANTEE’S REVIEW, DOWNLOAD OR PRINTING AND WILL PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS ON WHERE THE PLAN DOCUMENTS CAN BE FOUND. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING BY THE COMPANY, THE GRANTEE WILL NOT INCUR ANY COSTS FOR RECEIVING THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ELECTRONICALLY THROUGH THE COMPANY’S COMPUTER NETWORK. THE GRANTEE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE PAPER COPIES OF ANY PLAN DOCUMENT BY SENDING A WRITTEN REQUEST FOR A PAPER COPY TO THE ADMINISTRATOR. THE GRANTEE’S CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF THE PLAN DOCUMENTS WILL BE VALID AND REMAIN EFFECTIVE UNTIL THE EARLIER OF (i) THE TERMINATION OF THE GRANTEE’S PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN AND (ii) THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE GRANTEE’S CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE PLAN DOCUMENTS. THE COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE GRANTEE HAS THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO WITHDRAW HIS CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE PLAN DOCUMENTS BY SENDING A WRITTEN NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL TO THE ADMINISTRATOR. IF THE GRANTEE WITHDRAWS HIS CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE, THE COMPANY WILL RESUME SENDING PAPER COPIES OF THE PLAN DOCUMENTS WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF ITS RECEIPT OF THE WITHDRAWAL NOTICE. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT ELECTRONICALLY, THE GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE IS ABLE TO ACCESS, VIEW AND RETAIN AN E-MAIL ANNOUNCEMENT INFORMING THE GRANTEE THAT THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE IN EITHER HTML, PDF OR SUCH OTHER FORMAT AS THE COMPANY DETERMINES IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION.

 

16


(d) Unfunded Plan. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that any rights of the Grantee relating to the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights shall constitute bookkeeping entries on the books of the Company and shall not create in the Grantee any right to, or claim against, any specific assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, nor result in the creation of any trust or escrow account for the Grantee. With respect to the Grantee’s entitlement to any payment hereunder, the Grantee shall be a general creditor of the Company.

14. Additional Acknowledgements. By accepting this Agreement electronically, the Grantee and the Company agree that the Restricted Stock Units are granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. The Grantee has reviewed in its entirety the prospectus that summarizes the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, has had an opportunity to request a copy of the Plan in accordance with the procedure described in the prospectus, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to electronically accepting this Agreement and fully understands all provisions of the Plan and this Agreement. The Grantee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions relating to the Plan and this Agreement.

15. Country Appendix. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Restricted Stock Unit grant and any Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the applicable terms and provisions as set forth in the Country Appendix attached hereto and incorporated herein, if any, for the Grantee’s country of residence (and country of employment or engagement as a Consultant, if different).

COUNTRY APPENDIX

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD

AGREEMENT

(EU)

This Country Appendix (“Appendix”) includes the following additional terms and conditions that govern the Grantee’s Stock Award for all Grantees that reside and/or work in a European Union jurisdiction.

Notifications

This Country Appendix also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Grantee should be aware with respect to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of August 2019. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Grantee not rely on the information in this Country Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that the Restricted Stock Units vest, or Shares are delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, or the Grantee sells any Shares acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Grantee’s particular situation, and none of the Company, its Subsidiaries, nor the Administrator is in a position to assure the Grantee of a particular result. Accordingly, the Grantee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Grantee’s country of residence and/or work may apply to the Grantee’s situation.

Finally, if the Grantee transfers employment after the Grant Date, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes following the Grant Date, the notifications contained herein may not be applicable to the Grantee, and the Administrator shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to the Grantee.

Terms and Conditions Applicable to All EU Jurisdictions

English Language. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that it is the Grantee’s express intent that this Agreement, the Plan and all other documents, rules, procedures, forms, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the Stock Award, be drawn up in English. The Grantee further acknowledges that he or she is sufficiently proficient in English, or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, so as to allow the Grantee to understand the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Plan and any rules, procedures, forms or documents related to the Stock Award. If the Grantee has received this Agreement, the Plan or any other rules, procedures, forms or documents related to the Stock Award translated into a language other than English, and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

 

18


Repatriation; Compliance with Laws. The Grantee agrees, as a condition of the grant of the Stock Award, to repatriate all payments attributable to the Award and/or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends, dividend equivalents, and any proceeds derived from the sale of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Agreement) in accordance with all foreign exchange rules and regulations applicable to the Grantee. The Company and the Administrator reserve the right to impose other requirements on the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, on the Restricted Stock Units and on any Shares acquired or cash payments made pursuant to the Agreement, to the extent the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Administrator determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or to facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Finally, the Grantee agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Grantee’s personal legal and tax obligations under all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Grantee.

Commercial Relationship. The Grantee expressly recognizes that the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and the Company’s Stock Award grant does not constitute an employment relationship between the Grantee and the Company. The Grantee has been granted Stock Awards as a consequence of the commercial relationship between the Company and the Company’s Subsidiary that employs the Grantee, and the Company’s Subsidiary that employs the Grantee is the Grantee’s sole employer. Based on the foregoing, the Grantee expressly recognizes that (a) the Plan and the benefits the Grantee may derive from participation in the Plan do not establish any rights between the Grantee and the Subsidiary that employs the Grantee, (b) the Plan and the benefits the Grantee may derive from participation in the Plan are not part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by the Subsidiary that employs the Grantee, and (c) any modifications or amendments of the Plan by the Company or the Administrator, or a termination of the Plan by the Company, shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Grantee’s employment with the Subsidiary that employs the Grantee.

Private Placement. The grant of the Stock Award is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Grantee’s country of residence and/or employment but instead is intended to be a private placement. As a private placement, the Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under local law), and the grant of the Stock Award is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities.

Additional Acknowledgements. The GRANTEE also acknowledges and agrees to the following:

 

   

The grant of the Stock Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Stock Awards or benefits in lieu of the Stock Award even if Stock Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past.

 

   

The future value of the Shares and any related dividend equivalents is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty.

 

19


   

No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from the forfeiture of the Stock Award or any of the Restricted Stock Units or related dividend equivalents, the termination of the Plan, or the diminution in value of the Restricted Stock Units or Shares, and the Grantee irrevocably releases the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Administrator and their affiliates from any such claim that may arise.

 

   

None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, nor the Administrator is providing any tax, legal or financial advice or making any recommendations regarding the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units, or the Grantee’s acquisition or sale of the Shares delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. The Grantee is hereby advised to consult with his own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

Notifications Applicable to Austria

Consumer Protection Information. If the provisions of the Austrian Consumer Protection Act are applicable to the Agreement and the Plan, the Grantee may be entitled to revoke the Grantee’s acceptance of the Agreement (and thereby revoke his acceptance of the Restricted Stock Units) under the conditions listed below:

(i) If the Grantee accepts the Stock Award, the Grantee may be entitled to revoke the Grantee’s acceptance; provided the revocation is made within one week after such electronic acceptance of the Agreement.

(ii) The revocation must be in written form to be valid and will revoke both acceptance of the Agreement and acceptance of the Restricted Stock Units awarded thereunder. It is sufficient if the Grantee returns the Agreement to the Administrator or a Company representative with language which can be understood as a refusal to conclude or honor the Agreement; provided the revocation is sent within the period discussed above.

Exchange Control Information. The Grantee may be required to comply with certain exchange control obligations if the Grantee holds securities (including Shares) or cash (including proceeds from the sale of such Shares) outside of Austria. If the transaction volume of all of the Grantee’s accounts abroad meets or exceeds €10,000,000, the movement and balance of all accounts must be reported monthly to the Austrian National Bank, as of the last day of the month, on or before the fifteenth day of the following month using the prescribed form “Meldungen SI-Forderungen und/oder SI-Verpflichturngen.”

Terms and Conditions Applicable to Denmark

Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, if the Grantee is determined to be an “Employee,” as defined in Section 2 of the Danish Act on the Use of Rights to Purchase or Subscribe for Shares etc. in Employment Relationships (the “Stock Option Act”), the treatment of the Stock Award upon the Grantee’s termination of employment may be governed by Sections 4 and 5 of the Stock Option Act. However, if the provisions in the Agreement or the Plan governing the treatment of the Stock Award upon termination of employment are more favorable, then the provisions of the Agreement or the Plan shall govern.

Foreign Asset / Account Reporting Information. The new Danish Tax Reporting Act that entered into force on January 1, 2019 removed the rules that previously obligated individuals to inform the Danish Tax Administration about shares held in foreign bank or brokerage accounts and deposit accounts with a foreign bank or broker. The use of the relevant Forms V and K are discontinued as of January 1, 2019 and replaced by automatic exchange of information regarding bank and brokerage accounts.

However, the Grantee must still report foreign bank/broker accounts and their deposits, as well as shares held in a foreign bank or broker account in the Grantee’s tax return under the section on foreign affairs and income.

The Grantee accepts the terms of those documents accordingly. En acceptant l’Attribution et ce Contrat qui contient les termes et conditions de l’Attribution, le Bénéficiaire confirmez avoir lu et compris les documents relatifs à cette attribution (le Plan et le Contrat, ainsi que la présente Annexe) qui vous ont été transmis en langue anglaise.

The Grantee should consult his / her personal advisor to ensure compliance with applicable reporting obligations.

21


Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. If the Grantee’s acquisition of shares under the Plan leads to a so-called qualified participation at any point during the calendar year, the Grantee will need to report the acquisition when he or she files his or her tax return for the relevant year. A qualified participation is attained if the value of the shares acquired exceeds €150,000. The Grantee will be responsible for obtaining the appropriate form from a German federal bank and complying with the applicable reporting obligations.

Notifications Applicable to Ireland

Director Notification Requirement. If the Grantee is a director, shadow director or secretary of the Company’s Irish subsidiaries or affiliates whose interests meet or exceed 1% of the Company’s voting rights, pursuant to Section 53 of the Irish Company Act 1990, the Grantee must notify the Irish subsidiary or affiliate in writing within five business days of receiving or disposing of an interest in the Company (e.g., Restricted Stock Units or Shares), or within five business days of becoming aware of the event giving rise to the notification requirement, or within five business days of becoming a director or secretary if such an interest exists at the time.

Terms and Conditions Applicable to Italy

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. If the Grantee is an Italian resident and holds investments or financial assets outside of Italy (such as cash or Restricted Stock Units) during any fiscal year which may generate income taxable in Italy (or if the Grantee is the beneficial owner of such an investment or asset even if the Grantee does not directly hold the investment or asset), the Grantee is required to report such investments or assets on his / her annual tax return for such fiscal year (on UNICO Form, RW Schedule, or on a special form if the Grantee is not required to file a tax return). The Grantee should consult with his / her personal tax advisor as to whether the reporting obligation applies to the Grantee and whether he / she will be required to report details of any outstanding Stock Awards or Shares held by the Grantee outside of Italy in the Grantee’s relevant annual tax return.

Foreign Asset Tax Information. The value of the financial assets held outside of Italy by Italian residents is subject to a foreign asset tax at an annual rate of 2 per thousand (0.2%).

No tax payment duties arise if the amount of the foreign financial assets held abroad does not exceed a certain threshold.

Terms and Conditions Applicable to the Netherlands

Waiver of Termination Rights. The Grantee hereby waives any and all rights to compensation or damages as a result of the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company whatsoever, insofar as those rights result or may result from (i) the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements under the Plan, or (ii) the Grantee ceasing to have rights under, or ceasing to be entitled to any awards under the Plan as a result of such termination.

 

22


Terms and Conditions Applicable to Sweden

There are no country-specific provisions.

Terms and Conditions Applicable to the United Kingdom

Responsibility for Taxes. This provision supplements Section 8 of the Agreement:

Without limitation to Section 8 of the Agreement, the Grantee agrees that the Grantee is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such taxes, as and when requested by the Company or (if different) the Grantee’s employer or by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Grantee also hereby agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and (if different) the Grantee’s employer against any such taxes that they are required to pay or withhold on the Grantee’s behalf or have paid or will pay to the HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee is a director or executive officer (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that the Grantee is a director or executive officer and income tax due is not collected from or paid by the Grantee within 90 days after the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the indemnification described above occurs, the amount of any uncollected tax may constitute a benefit to the Grantee on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable. The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee ultimately will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or (if different) the Grantee’s employer for the value of any employee national insurance contributions due on this additional benefit, which the Company or (if different) the Grantee’s employer may recover from the Grantee at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in the Agreement.

The extent to which the Grantee’s rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units becomes vested and non-forfeitable shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement.

 

1


2. Vesting. Except as may be otherwise provided in Section 3 of this Agreement, the vesting of the Grantee’s rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units shall be determined in accordance with this Section 2. The Grantee’s rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units shall become vested and non-forfeitable at the rate of thirty percent (30%) of the initial Restricted Stock Units on the first anniversary of Grant Date, and an additional thirty percent (30%) of the initial Restricted Stock Units on the second anniversary of Grant Date, and an additional forty percent (40%) of the initial Restricted Stock Units on the third anniversary of Grant Date, provided that in all instances the Grantee is an Employee of, or Consultant to, or Non-Employee Director of, the Company or a Subsidiary. A date at which a Restricted Stock Unit is to become vested under this Section 2 is referred to herein as a “Stated Vesting Date.”

3. Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that is not yet vested on the date such Change in Control is determined to have occurred:

(a) shall become fully vested on the first anniversary of the date of such Change in Control (the “Change in Control Anniversary”) if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director does not terminate prior to the Change in Control Anniversary;

(b) shall become fully vested on the Date of Termination if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates prior to the Change in Control Anniversary as a result of termination by the Company without Cause or resignation by the Grantee for Good Reason; or

(c) shall not become fully vested if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates prior to the Change in Control Anniversary as a result of termination by the Company for Cause or resignation by the Grantee without Good Reason, but only to the extent such Restricted Stock Units have not previously become vested.

This Section 3 shall supersede the standard vesting provision contained in Section 2 of this Agreement only to the extent that it results in accelerated vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, and it shall not result in a delay of any vesting or non-vesting of any Restricted Stock Units that otherwise would occur at a Stated Vesting Date under the terms of the standard vesting provision contained in Section 2 of this Agreement

For purposes of this Section 3, the following definitions shall apply:

(d) “Cause” means:

(i) The Grantee’s conviction of a crime involving fraud or dishonesty; or

 

2


(ii) The Grantee’s continued willful or reckless material misconduct in the performance of the Grantee’s duties after receipt of written notice from the Company concerning such misconduct;

provided, however, that for purposes of Section 3(d)(ii), Cause shall not include any one or more of the following: bad judgment, negligence or any act or omission believed by the Grantee in good faith to have been in or not opposed to the interest of the Company (without intent of the Grantee to gain, directly or indirectly, a profit to which the Grantee was not legally entitled).

(e) “Good Reason” means:

(i) The assignment to the Grantee of any duties adverse to the Grantee and materially inconsistent with the Grantee’s position (including status, titles and reporting requirement), authority, duties or responsibilities, or any other action by the Company that results in a material diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action that is not taken in bad faith;

(ii) Any material reduction in the Grantee’s compensation; or

(iii) Change in location of the Grantee’s assigned office of more than 35 miles without prior consent of the Grantee.

The Grantee’s resignation will not constitute a resignation for Good Reason unless the Grantee first provides written notice to the Company of the existence of the Good Reason within 90 days following the effective date of the occurrence of the Good Reason, and the Good Reason remains uncorrected by the Company for more than 30 days following receipt of such written notice of the Good Reason from the Grantee to the Company, and the effective date of the Grantee’s resignation is within one year following the effective date of the occurrence of the Good Reason.

4. Timing and Manner of Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.

(a) Settlement Timing. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units become vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with Section 2, Section 3 or Section 6 of this Agreement, the Grantee will have no right to settlement of any such Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units will be settled under this Section 4 by the Company delivering to the Grantee (or his beneficiary in the event of death) a number of Shares equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units that have become vested and non-forfeitable and are to be settled at the applicable settlement date. In the case of Restricted Stock Units that become vested and non-forfeitable at a Stated Vesting Date in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement, such Restricted Stock Units will be settled at a date (the “Stated Settlement Date”) that is as prompt as practicable after the Stated Vesting Date but in no event later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after such Stated Vesting Date (settlement that is prompt but in no event later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the applicable vesting date is referred to herein as “Prompt Settlement”). The settlement of Restricted Stock Units that become vested and non-forfeitable in circumstances governed by Section 3 or Section 6 or that are settled under Section 2 after the Grantee has become Retirement-eligible under Section 6 will be as follows:

 

3


(i) Restricted Stock Units that do not constitute a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A will be settled as follows:

(A) Restricted Stock Units that become vested in accordance with Section 6(b) (due to the Grantee’s death) will be settled within the period extending to not later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the later of the end of calendar year or the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which death occurred;

(B) Restricted Stock Units that become vested in accordance with Section 6(c) (due to the Grantee’s termination due to Disability) will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director; and

(C) Restricted Stock Units that become vested in accordance with Section 3(a) (on the Change in Control Anniversary) or Section 3(b) (during the year following a Change in Control) will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the applicable vesting date under Section 3(a) or 3(b).

(ii) Restricted Stock Units that constitute a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A (“409A RSUs”) will be settled as follows:

(A) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 6(b) (due to the Grantee’s death) will be settled on the 30th day after the date of the Grantee’s death;

(B) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 6(c) (due to the Grantee’s termination due to Disability) will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director, subject to Section 9(b) (including the six-month delay rule); and

(C) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 3(a) (on the Change in Control Anniversary), if in connection with the Change in Control there occurred a change in the ownership of the Company, a change in effective control of the Company, or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(5) (a “409A Change in Control”), will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the first anniversary of the 409A Change in Control, and if there occurred no 409A Change in Control in connection with the Change in Control, such 409A RSUs will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the earliest of the applicable Stated Vesting Date, one year after a 409A Change in Control not related to the Change in Control or the termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director, subject to Section 9(b) (including the six-month delay rule); and

 

4


(D) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 3(b) (during the year following a Change in Control) will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director, subject to Section 9(b) (including the six-month delay rule).

(b) Manner of Settlement. The Company may make delivery of Shares of Common Stock in settlement of Restricted Stock Units by either delivering one or more certificates representing such Shares to the Grantee (or his beneficiary in the event of death), registered in the name of the Grantee (and any joint name, if so directed by the Grantee), or by depositing such Shares into a stock brokerage account maintained for the Grantee (or of which the Grantee is a joint owner, with the consent of the Grantee). If the Company determines to settle Restricted Stock Units by making a deposit of Shares into such an account, the Company may settle any fractional Restricted Stock Unit by means of such deposit. In other circumstances or if so determined by the Company, the Company shall instead pay cash in lieu of any fractional Share, on such basis as the Administrator may determine. In no event will the Company issue fractional Shares.

(c) Effect of Settlement. Neither the Grantee nor any of the Grantee’s successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives shall have any further rights or interests in any Restricted Stock Units that have been paid and settled. Although a settlement date or range of dates for settlement are specified above in order to comply with Code Section 409A, the Company retains discretion to determine the settlement date, and no Grantee or beneficiary of a Grantee shall have any claim for damages or loss by virtue of the fact that the market price of Common Stock was higher on a given date upon which settlement could have been made as compared to the market price on or after the actual settlement date (any claim relating to settlement will be limited to a claim for delivery of Shares and related dividend equivalents).

5. Restrictions on Transfer. The Grantee shall not have the right to make or permit to occur any transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock Units, related rights to dividend equivalents or any other rights relating thereto, whether outright or as security, with or without consideration, voluntary or involuntary, and the Restricted Stock Units, related rights to dividend equivalents and other rights relating thereto, shall not be subject to execution, attachment, lien, or similar process; provided, however, the Grantee will be entitled to designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any settlement in respect of the Restricted Stock Units upon the death of the Grantee, in the manner and to the extent permitted by the Administrator. Any purported transfer or other transaction not permitted under this Section 5 shall be deemed null and void.

6. Forfeiture. Except as may be otherwise provided in this Section 6, the Grantee shall forfeit all of his rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units and related dividend equivalents if his Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates for any reason before the Restricted Stock Units become vested in accordance with Section 2 or Section 3 of this Agreement.

 

5


(a) Retirement. In the event of the Grantee’s Retirement in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6(a), the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall be treated as not having terminated for a number of years determined in accordance with this Section 6(a) for purposes of application of the vesting provisions of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 6(a), “Retirement” means termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director after the earliest of:

(i) The Grant Date or the anniversary of the Grant Date at which the Grantee has attained age fifty (50) and completed fifteen (15) Full Years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director;

(ii) The Grant Date or the anniversary of the Grant Date at which the Grantee has attained age fifty-eight (58) and completed ten (10) Full Years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director; or

(iii) The Grant Date or the anniversary of the Grant Date at which the Grantee has attained age sixty-two (62) and completed five (5) Full Years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director.

For purposes of this Section 6(a), “Full Year” means a twelve-month period beginning on the date of the Grantee’s commencement of service for the Company or a Subsidiary and each anniversary thereof. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6(a), the time period of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director for a Grantee whose service with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates and who subsequently returns to service with the Company or a Subsidiary shall include all time periods of the Grantee’s service for the Company or a Subsidiary for purposes of this Section 6(a). This Section 6(a) will only apply to a Retirement if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director does not terminate due to Cause as defined in this Agreement. In addition, this Section 6(a) will only apply to a Retirement if the Grantee executes the agreement, if any, required under Section 6(d). For a Grantee who became an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director of the Company or a Subsidiary following the acquisition of his or her employer by the Company or a Subsidiary, service with the acquired employer shall not count toward the number of years of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director for purposes of this Section 6(a), and Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall be measured from the commencement of the Grantee’s service for the Company or a Subsidiary following such acquisition. For purposes of this Section 6(a), the number of years of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall also include service with Jabil Circuit Co., a Michigan corporation and predecessor to the Company, and any Predecessor Subsidiary. For purposes of this Section 6(a), “Predecessor Subsidiary” means a company of which not less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares were held by Jabil Circuit Co. or a Predecessor Subsidiary. For purposes of this Section 6(a), for a Grantee who subsequent to the Grant Date performs service for the Company or a Subsidiary in a role as an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary that no longer includes being a state law officer of the Company or an employee of the Company with a title that is at least the equivalent of Vice President, or a substantially equivalent position of a Subsidiary (“Subsequent Non-Officer Service”), the time period of such Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall not include the time period of any such Subsequent Non-Officer Service, but shall include any time period during which such Grantee subsequently resumes service

 

6


for the Company or a Subsidiary in a role as an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary that includes being a state law officer of the Company or an employee of the Company with a title that is at least the equivalent of Vice President, or a substantially equivalent position of a Subsidiary.

If this Section 6(a) applies to the Grantee’s Retirement, the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall be treated as not having terminated for the number of years beginning on the effective date of the Retirement, or the remaining portion of the vesting period, whichever is applicable, in accordance with the following table based on the Grantee’s age and full years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director at the later of the Grant Date or the anniversary of the Grant Date next preceding the effective date of the Retirement:

 

Age

  

Full Years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-

Employee Director

  

5 Years

  

10 Years

  

15 Years

  

20 or More Years

50 – 54    None    None    1 year    2 years
55 – 57    None    None    2 years    Full vesting period
58 – 61    None    2 years    3 years    Full vesting period
62 or Older    Full vesting period    Full vesting period    Full vesting period    Full vesting period

Accordingly, upon such Retirement, Restricted Stock Units that otherwise would be forfeited because the Stated Vesting Date is a date after the effective date of the Retirement will not be forfeited if the Stated Vesting Date would have been reached had the Grantee remained in Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director for the additional period specified in the table above. Settlement of any such Restricted Stock Units will not be accelerated upon Retirement, but will remain subject to Section 4. Any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that would not become vested under Section 2 assuming the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director as set forth in the above table will be forfeited upon Retirement. Accordingly, the death of the Grantee following Retirement or a Change in Control following Retirement shall not affect the application of this Section 6(a), although such events will trigger a settlement of the Restricted Stock Units not forfeited by operation of this Section 6(a) in accordance with Section 4.

(b) Death. In the event that the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates due to death at a time that any of the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units have not yet vested, such Restricted Stock Units shall not be forfeited but instead shall become fully vested at the date of death.

(c) Disability. In the event that the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates due to Disability at a time that any of the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units have not yet vested, such Restricted Stock Units shall not be forfeited but instead shall become fully vested at the date of termination, provided that such accelerated vesting will only apply if the Grantee executes the agreement, if any, required under Section 6(d).

(d) Execution of Separation Agreement and Release. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, as a condition to the non-forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units upon Retirement under Section 6(a) or the accelerated vesting of Restricted Stock Units under Section 6(c), the Grantee shall be required to execute a separation agreement and release, in a form prescribed by the Administrator, setting forth covenants relating to noncompetition, nonsolicitation, nondisparagement, confidentiality and similar covenants for the protection of the Company’s business, and releasing the Company from liability in connection with the Grantee’s termination. Such agreement shall provide for the forfeiture and/or clawback of the Restricted Stock Units subject to Section 6(a) or 6(c), and the Shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, in the event of the Grantee’s failure to comply with the terms of such agreement. The Administrator will provide the form of such agreement to the Grantee at the date of termination, and the Grantee must execute and return such form within the period specified by law or, if no such period is specified, within 21 days after receipt of the form of agreement, and not revoke such agreement within any permitted revocation period (the end of these periods being the “Agreement Effectiveness Deadline”). If any Restricted Stock Units subject to Section 6(a) or 6(c) or related rights would be required to be settled before the Agreement Effectiveness Deadline, the settlement shall not be delayed pending the receipt and effectiveness of the agreement, but any such Restricted Stock Units or related rights settled before such receipt and effectiveness shall be subject to a “clawback” (repaying to the Company the Shares and cash paid upon settlement) in the event that the agreement is not received and effective and not revoked by the Agreement Effectiveness Deadline.

7. Dividend Equivalents; Adjustments.

(a) Dividend Equivalents. During the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the date that Shares are issued in settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit, the Grantee will accrue dividend equivalents on Restricted Stock Units (including electively deferred 409A RSUs) equal to the cash dividend or distribution that would have been paid on the Restricted Stock Unit had the Restricted Stock Unit been an issued and outstanding Share of Common Stock on the record date for the dividend or distribution. Such accrued dividend equivalents (i) will vest and become payable upon the same terms and at the same time of settlement as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate, and (ii) will be denominated and payable solely in cash. Dividend equivalent payments, at settlement, will be net of applicable federal, state, local and foreign income and social insurance withholding taxes (subject to Section 8).

(b) Adjustments. The number of Restricted Stock Units (including electively deferred 409A RSUs) credited to the Grantee shall be subject to adjustment by the Company, in accordance with Section 13 of the Plan, in order to preserve without enlarging the Grantee’s rights with respect to such Restricted Stock Units. Any such adjustment shall be made taking into account any crediting of cash dividend equivalents to the Grantee under Section 7(a) in connection with such transaction or event. In the case of an extraordinary cash dividend, the Administrator may determine to adjust the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units under this Section 7(b) in lieu of crediting cash dividend equivalents under Section 7(a). Restricted Stock Units credited to the Grantee as a result of an adjustment shall be subject to the same forfeiture and settlement terms as applied to the related Restricted Stock Units prior to the adjustment.

8. Responsibility for Taxes and Withholding. Regardless of any action the Company, any of its Subsidiaries and/or the Grantee’s employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or any of its affiliates, if any. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the delivery of Shares, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such delivery and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of any award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

(a) withholding from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries; or

(b) withholding in Shares to be delivered upon settlement; or

(c) withholding from dividend equivalent payments (payable in cash) related to the Shares to be delivered at settlement.

To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable withholding rates but not exceeding the maximum statutory withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares attributable to the awarded Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.

Finally, the Grantee shall pay to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that are not satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

9. Code Section 409A.

(a) General. Payments made pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code or to otherwise comply with Section 409A of the Code. Accordingly, other provisions of the Plan or this Agreement notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 9 will apply in order that the Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, will be exempt from or otherwise comply with Code Section 409A. In addition, the Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and/or this Agreement to ensure that all Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, are exempt from or otherwise have terms that comply, and in operation comply, with Code Section 409A (including, without limitation, the avoidance of penalties thereunder). Other provisions of the Plan and this Agreement notwithstanding, the Company makes no representations that the Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, will be exempt from or avoid any penalties that may apply under Code Section 409A, makes no undertaking to preclude Code Section 409A from applying to the Restricted Stock Units and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, and will not indemnify or provide a gross up payment to a Grantee (or his beneficiary) for any taxes, interest or penalties imposed under Code Section 409A. Other restrictions and limitations under any deferred compensation plan or general rules applicable to deferrals apply to electively deferred 409A RSUs and related dividend equivalents and, if those provisions apply and are compliant with Code Section 409A, they shall take precedence over inconsistent provisions of this Section 9.

(b) Restrictions on 409A RSUs. In the case of any 409A RSUs, the following restrictions will apply:

(i) Separation from Service. Any payment in settlement of the 409A RSUs that is triggered by a termination of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director (or other termination of employment) hereunder will occur only if the Grantee has had a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h), with such separation from service treated as the termination for purposes of determining the timing of any settlement based on such termination.

(ii) Six-Month Delay Rule. The “six-month delay rule” will apply to 409A RSUs if these four conditions are met:

(A) the Grantee has a separation from service (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h)) for a reason other than death;

(B) a payment in settlement is triggered by such separation from service; and

(C) the Grantee is a “specified employee” under Code Section 409A.

If it applies, the six-month delay rule will delay a settlement of 409A RSUs triggered by separation from service where the settlement otherwise would occur within six months after the separation from service, subject to the following:

(D) any delayed payment shall be made on the date six months and one day after separation from service;

 

10


(E) during the six-month delay period, accelerated settlement will be permitted in the event of the Grantee’s death and for no other reason (including no acceleration upon a Change in Control) except to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A; and

(F) any settlement that is not triggered by a separation from service, or is triggered by a separation from service but would be made more than six months after separation (without applying this six-month delay rule), shall be unaffected by the six-month delay rule.

(c) Other Compliance Provisions. The following provisions apply to Restricted Stock Units:

(i) Each tranche of Restricted Stock Units (including dividend equivalents accrued thereon) that is scheduled to vest at a separate Stated Vesting Date under Section 2 shall be deemed a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A.

(ii) The settlement of 409A RSUs may not be accelerated by the Company except to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A. The Company may, however, accelerate vesting (i.e., may waive the risk of forfeiture tied to termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director) of 409A RSUs, without changing the settlement terms of such 409A RSUs.

(iii) It is understood that Good Reason for purposes of this Agreement is limited to circumstances that qualify under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(n)(2).

(iv) Any election to defer settlement of Restricted Stock Units must comply with the election timing rules under Code Section 409A.

(v) Any restriction imposed on 409A RSUs hereunder or under the terms of other documents solely to ensure compliance with Code Section 409A shall not be applied to a Restricted Stock Unit that is not a 409A RSU except to the extent necessary to preserve the status of such Restricted Stock Unit as not being a “deferral of compensation” under Code Section 409A.

(vi) If any mandatory term required for 409A RSUs or other RSUs, or related dividend equivalents or other related rights, to avoid tax penalties under Code Section 409A is not otherwise explicitly provided under this document or other applicable documents, such term is hereby incorporated by reference and fully applicable as though set forth at length herein.

(vii) In the case of any settlement of Restricted Stock Units during a specified period following the Stated Vesting Date or other date triggering a right to settlement, the Grantee shall have no influence (other than permitted deferral elections) on any determination as to the tax year in which the settlement will be made.

 

11


(viii) In the case of any Restricted Stock Unit that is not a 409A RSU, if the circumstances arise constituting a Disability but termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director has not in fact resulted immediately without an election by the Grantee, then only the Company or a Subsidiary may elect to terminate the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director due to such Disability.

(ix) If the Company has a right of setoff that could apply to a 409A RSU, such right may only be exercised at the time the 409A RSU would have been settled, and may be exercised only as a setoff against an obligation that arose not more than 30 days before and within the same year as the settlement date if application of such setoff right against an earlier obligation would not be permitted under Code Section 409A.

10. Deferral. If permitted by the Administrator, the issuance of the Shares issuable with respect to the Restricted Stock Units may be deferred upon such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator, subject to the Administrator’s determination that any such right of deferral or any term thereof complies with applicable laws or regulations in effect from time to time, including but not limited to Section 409A of the Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Shares issuable with respect to electively deferred 409A RSUs, and related dividend equivalents, shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and for this purpose shall be considered rights related to the 409A RSUs, to the extent applicable and not otherwise superseded by any deferred compensation plan or general rules applicable to electively deferred 409A RSUs, until such 409A RSUs are settled and the Shares issued, including but not limited to Sections 5, 6(d), 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 of this Agreement.

11. No Effect on Employment or Rights under the Plan. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee the right to continue in the employment of the Company or any Subsidiary or affect any right which the Company or any Subsidiary may have to terminate the employment of the Grantee regardless of the effect of such termination of employment on the rights of the Grantee under the Plan or this Agreement. If the Grantee’s employment is terminated for any reason whatsoever (and whether lawful or otherwise), he will not be entitled to claim any compensation for or in respect of any consequent diminution or extinction of his rights or benefits (actual or prospective) under this Agreement or any Award or otherwise in connection with the Plan. The rights and obligations of the Grantee under the terms of his employment with the Company or any Subsidiary will not be affected by his participation in the Plan or this Agreement, and neither the Plan nor this Agreement form part of any contract of employment between the Grantee and the Company or any Subsidiary. The granting of Awards under the Plan is entirely at the discretion of the Administrator, and the Grantee shall not in any circumstances have any right to be granted an Award.

12. Governing Laws. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

14. Grantee Acknowledgements and Consents.

(a) Data Privacy. As communicated in Jabil’s Notice of Data Collection, Processing and Transfer of Employee Personal Data, as updated from time to time.

Data Collection and Usage. The Company collects, processes and uses personal data about the Grantee, including but not limited to, the Grantee’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all awards, rights or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Grantee or the Grantee’s employer. In order for the Grantee to participate in the Plan, the Company will collect his or her personal data for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis for the processing of the Grantee’s personal data is based on the necessity for Company’s performance of its obligations under the Plan and pursuant to the Company’s legitimate business interests. In those jurisdictions where the Grantee’s consent to the processing of the Grantee’s personal data is required, the Grantee expressly and explicitly consents to the collection, processing and transfer practices as described herein.

Stock Plan Administration and Service Providers. The Company may transfer the Grantee’s data to one or more third party stock plan service providers based in the United States (“U.S.”), which may assist the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Such service provider(s) may open an account for the Grantee to receive and trade Shares. The Grantee may be asked to acknowledge, or agree to, separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider(s).

International Data Transfers. The Grantee’s personal data will be transferred from the Grantee’s country to the U.S., where the Company and its service providers are based. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of the Grantee’s data to the U.S. is the Grantee’s consent (where required) or the Company’s participation in a privacy shield agreement and/or adequate agreements.

Data Retention. The Company will use the Grantee’s personal data only as long as necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’s participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws. When the Company no longer needs the Grantee’s personal data, which will generally be seven (7) years after the Grantee participates in the Plan, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps the data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be relevant laws or regulations.

 

13


Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdraw. The Grantee’s participation in the Plan and his or her grant of consent, if required, if purely voluntary. The Grantee may reject participation in the Plan or withdraw the Grantee’s consent, if applicable, at any time. If the Grantee rejects participation in the Plan, does not consent, if applicable, or withdraws his or her consent, if applicable, the Grantee may be unable to participate in the Plan. This would not affect the Grantee’s existing employment or salary; instead, the Grantee merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.

Data Subject Rights. The Grantee understands that he or she may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in the Grantee’s jurisdiction. Depending on where the Grantee is based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data processed by the Company, (ii) rectification of incorrect data, (iii) deletion of data, (iv) restrictions on processing of data, (v) portability of data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Grantee’s jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Grantee’s personal data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, the Grantee can contact his or her local human resources department.

(b) Voluntary Participation. The Grantee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary. The value of the Restricted Stock Units is an extraordinary item of compensation. Unless otherwise expressly provided in a separate agreement between the Grantee and the Company or a Subsidiary, the Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.

(c) Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT ELECTRONICALLY, THE GRANTEE HEREBY CONSENTS TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF THE PLAN, THE PROSPECTUS FOR THE PLAN AND OTHER DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THE PLAN (COLLECTIVELY, THE “PLAN DOCUMENTS”). THE COMPANY WILL DELIVER THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ELECTRONICALLY TO THE GRANTEE BY E-MAIL, BY POSTING SUCH DOCUMENTS ON ITS INTRANET WEBSITE OR BY ANOTHER MODE OF ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AS DETERMINED BY THE COMPANY IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION.

(d) Unfunded Plan. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that any rights of the Grantee relating to the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights shall constitute bookkeeping entries on the books of the Company and shall not create in the Grantee any right to, or claim against, any specific assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, nor result in the creation of any trust or escrow account for the Grantee. With respect to the Grantee’s entitlement to any payment hereunder, the Grantee shall be a general creditor of the Company.

COUNTRY APPENDIX

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

This Country Appendix (“Appendix”) includes the following additional terms and conditions that govern the Grantee’s Stock Award for all Grantees that reside and/or work outside of the United States and outside of the European Union.

Notifications

This Country Appendix also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Grantee should be aware with respect to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of August 2019. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Grantee not rely on the information in this Country Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that the Restricted Stock Units vest, or Shares are delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, or the Grantee sells any Shares acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Grantee’s particular situation, and none of the Company, its Subsidiaries, nor the Administrator is in a position to assure the Grantee of a particular result. Accordingly, the Grantee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Grantee’s country of residence and/or work may apply to the Grantee’s situation.

Finally, if the Grantee transfers employment after the Grant Date, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes following the Grant Date, the notifications contained herein may not be applicable to the Grantee, and the Administrator shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to the Grantee.

Terms and Conditions Applicable to All Non-U.S. Jurisdictions

English Language. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that it is the Grantee’s express intent that this Agreement, the Plan and all other documents, rules, procedures, forms, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the Stock Award, be drawn up in English. The Grantee further acknowledges that he or she is sufficiently proficient in English, or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, so as to allow the Grantee to understand the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Plan and any rules, procedures, forms or documents related to the Stock Award. If the Grantee has received this Agreement, the Plan or any other rules, procedures, forms or documents related to the Stock Award translated into a language other than English, and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

 

17


Repatriation; Compliance with Laws. The Grantee agrees, as a condition of the grant of the Stock Award, to repatriate all payments attributable to the Award and/or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends, dividend equivalents, and any proceeds derived from the sale of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Agreement) in accordance with all foreign exchange rules and regulations applicable to the Grantee. The Company and the Administrator reserve the right to impose other requirements on the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, on the Restricted Stock Units and on any Shares acquired or cash payments made pursuant to the Agreement, to the extent the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Administrator determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or to facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Finally, the Grantee agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Grantee’s personal legal and tax obligations under all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Grantee.

Commercial Relationship. The Grantee expressly recognizes that the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and the Company’s Stock Award grant does not constitute an employment relationship between the Grantee and the Company. The Grantee has been granted Stock Awards as a consequence of the commercial relationship between the Company and the Company’s Subsidiary that employs the Grantee, and the Company’s Subsidiary that employs the Grantee is the Grantee’s sole employer. Based on the foregoing, the Grantee expressly recognizes that (a) the Plan and the benefits the Grantee may derive from participation in the Plan do not establish any rights between the Grantee and the Subsidiary that employs the Grantee, (b) the Plan and the benefits the Grantee may derive from participation in the Plan are not part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by the Subsidiary that employs the Grantee, and (c) any modifications or amendments of the Plan by the Company or the Administrator, or a termination of the Plan by the Company, shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Grantee’s employment with the Subsidiary that employs the Grantee.

Private Placement. The grant of the Stock Award is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Grantee’s country of residence and/or employment but instead is intended to be a private placement. As a private placement, the Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under local law), and the grant of the Stock Award is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities.

Additional Acknowledgements. The GRANTEE also acknowledges and agrees to the following:

 

   

The grant of the Stock Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Stock Awards or benefits in lieu of the Stock Award even if Stock Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past.

 

   

The future value of the Shares and any related dividend equivalents is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty.

 

   

No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from the forfeiture of the Stock Award or any of the Restricted Stock Units or related dividend equivalents, the termination of the Plan, or the diminution in value of the Restricted Stock Units or Shares, and the Grantee irrevocably releases the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Administrator and their affiliates from any such claim that may arise.

 

18

This Section 3 shall supersede the standard vesting provision contained in Section 2 of this Agreement only to the extent that it results in accelerated vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, and it shall not result in a delay of any vesting or non-vesting of any Restricted Stock Units that otherwise would occur at a Stated Vesting Date under the terms of the standard vesting provision contained in Section 2 of this Agreement.

For purposes of this Section 3, the following definitions shall apply:

(d) “Cause” means:

(i) The Grantee’s conviction of a crime involving fraud or dishonesty; or

 

2


(ii) The Grantee’s continued willful or reckless material misconduct in the performance of the Grantee’s duties after receipt of written notice from the Company concerning such misconduct;

provided, however, that for purposes of Section 3(d)(ii), Cause shall not include any one or more of the following: bad judgment, negligence or any act or omission believed by the Grantee in good faith to have been in or not opposed to the interest of the Company (without intent of the Grantee to gain, directly or indirectly, a profit to which the Grantee was not legally entitled).

(e) “Good Reason” means:

(i) The assignment to the Grantee of any duties adverse to the Grantee and materially inconsistent with the Grantee’s position (including status, titles and reporting requirement), authority, duties or responsibilities, or any other action by the Company that results in a material diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action that is not taken in bad faith;

(ii) Any material reduction in the Grantee’s compensation; or

(iii) Change in location of the Grantee’s assigned office of more than 35 miles without prior consent of the Grantee.

The Grantee’s resignation will not constitute a resignation for Good Reason unless the Grantee first provides written notice to the Company of the existence of the Good Reason within 90 days following the effective date of the occurrence of the Good Reason, and the Good Reason remains uncorrected by the Company for more than 30 days following receipt of such written notice of the Good Reason from the Grantee to the Company, and the effective date of the Grantee’s resignation is within one year following the effective date of the occurrence of the Good Reason.

4. Timing and Manner of Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.

(a) Settlement Timing. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units become vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with Section 2, Section 3 or Section 6 of this Agreement, the Grantee will have no right to settlement of any such Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units will be settled under this Section 4 by the Company delivering to the Grantee (or his beneficiary in the event of death) a number of Shares equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units that have become vested and non-forfeitable and are to be settled at the applicable settlement date. In the case of Restricted Stock Units that become vested and non-forfeitable at a Stated Vesting Date in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement, such Restricted Stock Units will be settled at a date (the “Stated Settlement Date”) that is as prompt as practicable after the Stated Vesting Date but in no event later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after such Stated Vesting Date (settlement that is prompt but in no event later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the applicable vesting date is referred to herein as “Prompt Settlement”). The settlement of Restricted Stock Units that become vested and non-forfeitable in circumstances governed by Section 3 or Section 6 or that are settled under Section 2 after the Grantee has become Retirement-eligible under Section 6 will be as follows:

 

3


(i) Restricted Stock Units that do not constitute a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A will be settled as follows:

(A) Restricted Stock Units that become vested in accordance with Section 6(b) (due to the Grantee’s death) will be settled within the period extending to not later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the later of the end of calendar year or the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which death occurred;

(B) Restricted Stock Units that become vested in accordance with Section 6(c) (due to the Grantee’s termination due to Disability) will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director; and

(C) Restricted Stock Units that become vested in accordance with Section 3(a) (on the Change in Control Anniversary) or Section 3(b) (during the year following a Change in Control) will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the applicable vesting date under Section 3(a) or 3(b).

(ii) Restricted Stock Units that constitute a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A (“409A RSUs”) will be settled as follows:

(A) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 6(b) (due to the Grantee’s death) will be settled on the 30th day after the date of the Grantee’s death;

(B) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 6(c) (due to the Grantee’s termination due to Disability) will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director, subject to Section 9(b) (including the six-month delay rule); and

(C) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 3(a) (on the Change in Control Anniversary), if in connection with the Change in Control there occurred a change in the ownership of the Company, a change in effective control of the Company, or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(5) (a “409A Change in Control”), will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the first anniversary of the 409A Change in Control, and if there occurred no 409A Change in Control in connection with the Change in Control, such 409A RSUs will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the earliest of the applicable Stated Vesting Date, one year after a 409A Change in Control not related to the Change in Control or the termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director, subject to Section 9(b) (including the six-month delay rule); and

 

4


(D) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 3(b) (during the year following a Change in Control) will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director, subject to Section 9(b) (including the six-month delay rule).

(b) Manner of Settlement. The Company may make delivery of Shares of Common Stock in settlement of Restricted Stock Units by either delivering one or more certificates representing such Shares to the Grantee (or his beneficiary in the event of death), registered in the name of the Grantee (and any joint name, if so directed by the Grantee), or by depositing such Shares into a stock brokerage account maintained for the Grantee (or of which the Grantee is a joint owner, with the consent of the Grantee). If the Company determines to settle Restricted Stock Units by making a deposit of Shares into such an account, the Company may settle any fractional Restricted Stock Unit by means of such deposit. In other circumstances or if so determined by the Company, the Company shall instead pay cash in lieu of any fractional Share, on such basis as the Administrator may determine. In no event will the Company issue fractional Shares.

(c) Effect of Settlement. Neither the Grantee nor any of the Grantee’s successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives shall have any further rights or interests in any Restricted Stock Units that have been paid and settled. Although a settlement date or range of dates for settlement are specified above in order to comply with Code Section 409A, the Company retains discretion to determine the settlement date, and no Grantee or beneficiary of a Grantee shall have any claim for damages or loss by virtue of the fact that the market price of Common Stock was higher on a given date upon which settlement could have been made as compared to the market price on or after the actual settlement date (any claim relating to settlement will be limited to a claim for delivery of Shares and related dividend equivalents).

5. Restrictions on Transfer. The Grantee shall not have the right to make or permit to occur any transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock Units, related rights to dividend equivalents or any other rights relating thereto, whether outright or as security, with or without consideration, voluntary or involuntary, and the Restricted Stock Units, related rights to dividend equivalents and other rights relating thereto, shall not be subject to execution, attachment, lien, or similar process; provided, however, the Grantee will be entitled to designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any settlement in respect of the Restricted Stock Units upon the death of the Grantee, in the manner and to the extent permitted by the Administrator. Any purported transfer or other transaction not permitted under this Section 5 shall be deemed null and void.

6. Forfeiture. Except as may be otherwise provided in this Section 6, the Grantee shall forfeit all of his rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units and related dividend equivalents if his Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates for any reason before the Restricted Stock Units become vested in accordance with Section 2 or Section 3 of this Agreement.

 

5


(a) Retirement. In the event of the Grantee’s Retirement in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6(a), the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall be treated as not having terminated for a number of years determined in accordance with this Section 6(a) for purposes of application of the vesting provisions of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 6(a), “Retirement” means termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director after the Grant Date or the anniversary of the Grant Date at which the Grantee has completed twenty (20) Full Years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director.

For purposes of this Section 6(a), “Full Year” means a twelve-month period beginning on the date of the Grantee’s commencement of service for the Company or a Subsidiary and each anniversary thereof. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6(a), the time period of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director for a Grantee whose service with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates and who subsequently returns to service with the Company or a Subsidiary shall include all time periods of the Grantee’s service for the Company or a Subsidiary for purposes of this Section 6(a). This Section 6(a) will only apply to a Retirement if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director does not terminate due to Cause as defined in this Agreement. In addition, this Section 6(a) will only apply to a Retirement if the Grantee executes the agreement, if any, required under Section 6(d). For a Grantee who became an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director of the Company or a Subsidiary following the acquisition of his or her employer by the Company or a Subsidiary, service with the acquired employer shall not count toward the number of years of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director for purposes of this Section 6(a), and Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall be measured from the commencement of the Grantee’s service for the Company or a Subsidiary following such acquisition. For purposes of this Section 6(a), the number of years of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall also include service with Jabil Circuit Co., a Michigan corporation and predecessor to the Company, and any Predecessor Subsidiary. For purposes of this Section 6(a), “Predecessor Subsidiary” means a company of which not less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares were held by Jabil Circuit Co. or a Predecessor Subsidiary. For purposes of this Section 6(a), for a Grantee who subsequent to the Grant Date performs service for the Company or a Subsidiary in a role as an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary that no longer includes being a state law officer of the Company or an employee of the Company with a title that is at least the equivalent of Vice President, or a substantially equivalent position of a Subsidiary (“Subsequent Non-Officer Service”), the time period of such Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall not include the time period of any such Subsequent Non-Officer Service, but shall include any time period during which such Grantee subsequently resumes service for the Company or a Subsidiary in a role as an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary that includes being a state law officer of the Company or an employee of the Company with a title that is at least the equivalent of Vice President, or a substantially equivalent position of a Subsidiary.

If this Section 6(a) applies to the Grantee’s Retirement, the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall be treated as not having terminated for the number of years beginning on the effective date of the Retirement, or the remaining portion of the vesting period, whichever is applicable, in accordance with the following table based on the Grantee’s age and full years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director at the later of the Grant Date or the anniversary of the Grant Date next preceding the effective date of the Retirement:

 

6


Full Years of

Continuous Status as an Employee or

Consultant or Non-Employee Director

20 Years    25 Years    30 or More Years
2 years    3 years    Full vesting period

Accordingly, upon such Retirement, Restricted Stock Units that otherwise would be forfeited because the Stated Vesting Date is a date after the effective date of the Retirement will not be forfeited if the Stated Vesting Date would have been reached had the Grantee remained in Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director for the additional period specified in the table above. Settlement of any such Restricted Stock Units will not be accelerated upon Retirement, but will remain subject to Section 4. Any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that would not become vested under Section 2 assuming the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director as set forth in the above table will be forfeited upon Retirement. Accordingly, the death of the Grantee following Retirement or a Change in Control following Retirement shall not affect the application of this Section 6(a), although such events will trigger a settlement of the Restricted Stock Units not forfeited by operation of this Section 6(a) in accordance with Section 4.

(b) Death. In the event that the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates due to death at a time that any of the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units have not yet vested, such Restricted Stock Units shall not be forfeited but instead shall become fully vested at the date of death.

(c) Disability. In the event that the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates due to Disability at a time that any of the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units have not yet vested, such Restricted Stock Units shall not be forfeited but instead shall become fully vested at the date of termination, provided that such accelerated vesting will only apply if the Grantee executes the agreement, if any, required under Section 6(d).

(d) Execution of Separation Agreement and Release. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, as a condition to the non-forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units upon Retirement under Section 6(a) or the accelerated vesting of Restricted Stock Units under Section 6(c), the Grantee shall be required to execute a separation agreement and release, in a form prescribed by the Administrator, setting forth covenants relating to noncompetition, nonsolicitation, nondisparagement, confidentiality and similar covenants for the protection of the Company’s business, and releasing the Company from liability in connection with the Grantee’s termination. Such agreement shall provide for the forfeiture and/or clawback of the Restricted Stock Units subject to Section 6(a) or 6(c), and the Shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, in the event of the Grantee’s failure to comply with the terms of such agreement. The Administrator will provide the form of such agreement to the Grantee at the date of termination, and the Grantee must

 

7


execute and return such form within the period specified by law or, if no such period is specified, within 21 days after receipt of the form of agreement, and not revoke such agreement within any permitted revocation period (the end of these periods being the “Agreement Effectiveness Deadline”). If any Restricted Stock Units subject to Section 6(a) or 6(c) or related rights would be required to be settled before the Agreement Effectiveness Deadline, the settlement shall not be delayed pending the receipt and effectiveness of the agreement, but any such Restricted Stock Units or related rights settled before such receipt and effectiveness shall be subject to a “clawback” (repaying to the Company the Shares and cash paid upon settlement) in the event that the agreement is not received and effective and not revoked by the Agreement Effectiveness Deadline.

7. Dividend Equivalents; Adjustments.

(a) Dividend Equivalents. During the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the date that Shares are issued in settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit, the Grantee will accrue dividend equivalents on Restricted Stock Units equal to the cash dividend or distribution that would have been paid on the Restricted Stock Unit had the Restricted Stock Unit been an issued and outstanding Share of Common Stock on the record date for the dividend or distribution. Such accrued dividend equivalents (i) will vest and become payable upon the same terms and at the same time of settlement as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate, and (ii) will be denominated and payable solely in cash. Dividend equivalent payments, at settlement, will be net of applicable federal, state, local and foreign income and social insurance withholding taxes (subject to Section 8).

(b) Adjustments. The number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the Grantee shall be subject to adjustment by the Company, in accordance with Section 13 of the Plan, in order to preserve without enlarging the Grantee’s rights with respect to such Restricted Stock Units. Any such adjustment shall be made taking into account any crediting of cash dividend equivalents to the Grantee under Section 7(a) in connection with such transaction or event. In the case of an extraordinary cash dividend, the Administrator may determine to adjust the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units under this Section 7(b) in lieu of crediting cash dividend equivalents under Section 7(a). Restricted Stock Units credited to the Grantee as a result of an adjustment shall be subject to the same forfeiture and settlement terms as applied to the related Restricted Stock Units prior to the adjustment.

8. Responsibility for Taxes and Withholding. Regardless of any action the Company, any of its Subsidiaries and/or the Grantee’s employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or any of its affiliates, if any. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the delivery of Shares, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such delivery and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of any award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

 

8


Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

(a) withholding from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries; or

(b) withholding in Shares to be delivered upon settlement; or

(c) withholding from dividend equivalent payments (payable in cash) related to the Shares to be delivered at settlement.

To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable withholding rates but not exceeding the maximum statutory withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares attributable to the awarded Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.

Finally, the Grantee shall pay to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that are not satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

9. Code Section 409A.

(a) General. Payments made pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code or to otherwise comply with Section 409A of the Code. Accordingly, other provisions of the Plan or this Agreement notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 9 will apply in order that the Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, will be exempt from or otherwise comply with Code Section 409A. In addition, the Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and/or this Agreement to ensure that all Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, are exempt from or otherwise have terms that comply, and in operation comply, with Code Section 409A (including, without limitation, the avoidance of penalties thereunder). Other provisions of the Plan and this Agreement notwithstanding, the Company makes no representations that the Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, will be exempt from or avoid any penalties that may apply under Code Section 409A, makes no undertaking to preclude Code Section 409A from applying to the Restricted Stock Units and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, and will not indemnify or provide a gross up payment to a Grantee (or his beneficiary) for any taxes, interest or penalties imposed under Code Section 409A.

 

9


(b) Restrictions on 409A RSUs. In the case of any 409A RSUs, the following restrictions will apply:

(i) Separation from Service. Any payment in settlement of the 409A RSUs that is triggered by a termination of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director (or other termination of employment) hereunder will occur only if the Grantee has had a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h), with such separation from service treated as the termination for purposes of determining the timing of any settlement based on such termination.

(ii) Six-Month Delay Rule. The “six-month delay rule” will apply to 409A RSUs if these four conditions are met:

(A) the Grantee has a separation from service (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h)) for a reason other than death;

(B) a payment in settlement is triggered by such separation from service; and

(C) the Grantee is a “specified employee” under Code Section 409A.

If it applies, the six-month delay rule will delay a settlement of 409A RSUs triggered by separation from service where the settlement otherwise would occur within six months after the separation from service, subject to the following:

(D) any delayed payment shall be made on the date six months and one day after separation from service;

(E) during the six-month delay period, accelerated settlement will be permitted in the event of the Grantee’s death and for no other reason (including no acceleration upon a Change in Control) except to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A; and

(F) any settlement that is not triggered by a separation from service, or is triggered by a separation from service but would be made more than six months after separation (without applying this six-month delay rule), shall be unaffected by the six-month delay rule.

(c) Other Compliance Provisions. The following provisions apply to Restricted Stock Units:

(i) Each tranche of Restricted Stock Units (including dividend equivalents accrued thereon) that is scheduled to vest at a separate Stated Vesting Date under Section 2 shall be deemed a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A.

 

10


(ii) The settlement of 409A RSUs may not be accelerated by the Company except to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A. The Company may, however, accelerate vesting (i.e., may waive the risk of forfeiture tied to termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director) of 409A RSUs, without changing the settlement terms of such 409A RSUs.

(iii) It is understood that Good Reason for purposes of this Agreement is limited to circumstances that qualify under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(n)(2).

(iv) Any restriction imposed on 409A RSUs hereunder or under the terms of other documents solely to ensure compliance with Code Section 409A shall not be applied to a Restricted Stock Unit that is not a 409A RSU except to the extent necessary to preserve the status of such Restricted Stock Unit as not being a “deferral of compensation” under Code Section 409A.

(v) If any mandatory term required for 409A RSUs or other RSUs, or related dividend equivalents or other related rights, to avoid tax penalties under Code Section 409A is not otherwise explicitly provided under this document or other applicable documents, such term is hereby incorporated by reference and fully applicable as though set forth at length herein.

(vi) In the case of any settlement of Restricted Stock Units during a specified period following the Stated Vesting Date or other date triggering a right to settlement, the Grantee shall have no influence on any determination as to the tax year in which the settlement will be made.

(vii) In the case of any Restricted Stock Unit that is not a 409A RSU, if the circumstances arise constituting a Disability but termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director has not in fact resulted immediately without an election by the Grantee, then only the Company or a Subsidiary may elect to terminate the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director due to such Disability.

(viii) If the Company has a right of setoff that could apply to a 409A RSU, such right may only be exercised at the time the 409A RSU would have been settled, and may be exercised only as a setoff against an obligation that arose not more than 30 days before and within the same year as the settlement date if application of such setoff right against an earlier obligation would not be permitted under Code Section 409A.

10. No Effect on Employment or Rights under the Plan. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee the right to continue in the employment of the Company or any Subsidiary or affect any right which the Company or any Subsidiary may have to terminate the employment of the Grantee regardless of the effect of such termination of employment on the rights of the Grantee under the Plan or this Agreement. If the Grantee’s employment is terminated for any reason whatsoever (and whether lawful or otherwise), he will not be entitled to claim any compensation for or in respect of any consequent diminution or extinction of his rights or benefits (actual or prospective) under this Agreement or any Award or otherwise in connection with the

 

11


Plan. The rights and obligations of the Grantee under the terms of his employment with the Company or any Subsidiary will not be affected by his participation in the Plan or this Agreement, and neither the Plan nor this Agreement form part of any contract of employment between the Grantee and the Company or any Subsidiary. The granting of Awards under the Plan is entirely at the discretion of the Administrator, and the Grantee shall not in any circumstances have any right to be granted an Award.

11. Governing Laws. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

12. Successors; Severability; Entire Agreement; Headings. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and the Grantee and their heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. In the event that any one or more of the provisions or portion thereof contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the same shall not invalidate or otherwise affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof had never been contained herein. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and any rules adopted by the Company or the Administrator and applicable to this Agreement, which are incorporated herein by reference, this Agreement expresses the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to such terms, restrictions and limitations. Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in construing this Agreement.

13. Grantee Acknowledgements and Consents.

(a) Data Privacy. As communicated in Jabil’s Notice of Data Collection, Processing and Transfer of Employee Personal Data, as updated from time to time.

Data Collection and Usage. The Company collects, processes and uses personal data about the Grantee, including but not limited to, the Grantee’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all awards, rights or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Grantee or the Grantee’s employer. In order for the Grantee to participate in the Plan, the Company will collect his or her personal data for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis for the processing of the Grantee’s personal data is based on the necessity for Company’s performance of its obligations under the Plan and pursuant to the Company’s legitimate business interests.

Stock Plan Administration and Service Providers. The Company may transfer the Grantee’s data to one or more third party stock plan service providers based in the United States (“U.S.”), which may assist the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Such service provider(s) may open an account for the Grantee to receive and trade Shares. The Grantee may be asked to acknowledge, or agree to, separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider(s).

 

12


International Data Transfers. The Grantee’s personal data will be transferred from the Grantee’s country to the U.S., where the Company and its service providers are based. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of the Grantee’s data to the U.S. is that it is authorized by the Company’s participation in the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and/or its use of the standard data protection clauses adopted by the EU Commission.

Data Retention. The Company will use the Grantee’s personal data only as long as necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’s participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws. When the Company no longer needs the Grantee’s personal data, which will generally be seven (7) years after the Grantee participates in the Plan, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps the data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be relevant laws or regulations.

Data Subject Rights. The Grantee understands that he or she may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in the Grantee’s jurisdiction. Depending on where the Grantee is based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data processed by the Company, (ii) rectification of incorrect data, (iii) deletion of data, (iv) restrictions on processing of data, (v) portability of data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Grantee’s jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Grantee’s personal data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, the Grantee can contact his or her local human resources department.

(b) Voluntary Participation. The Grantee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary. The value of the Restricted Stock Units is an extraordinary item of compensation. Unless otherwise expressly provided in a separate agreement between the Grantee and the Company or a Subsidiary, the Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.

(c) Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT ELECTRONICALLY, THE GRANTEE HEREBY CONSENTS TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF THE PLAN, THE PROSPECTUS FOR THE PLAN AND OTHER DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THE PLAN (COLLECTIVELY, THE “PLAN DOCUMENTS”).

COUNTRY APPENDIX

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD

AGREEMENT

(EU)

This Country Appendix (“Appendix”) includes the following additional terms and conditions that govern the Grantee’s Stock Award for all Grantees that reside and/or work in a European Union jurisdiction.

Notifications

This Country Appendix also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Grantee should be aware with respect to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of August 2019. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Grantee not rely on the information in this Country Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that the Restricted Stock Units vest, or Shares are delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, or the Grantee sells any Shares acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Grantee’s particular situation, and none of the Company, its Subsidiaries, nor the Administrator is in a position to assure the Grantee of a particular result. Accordingly, the Grantee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Grantee’s country of residence and/or work may apply to the Grantee’s situation.

Finally, if the Grantee transfers employment after the Grant Date, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes following the Grant Date, the notifications contained herein may not be applicable to the Grantee, and the Administrator shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to the Grantee.

Terms and Conditions Applicable to All EU Jurisdictions

English Language. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that it is the Grantee’s express intent that this Agreement, the Plan and all other documents, rules, procedures, forms, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the Stock Award, be drawn up in English. The Grantee further acknowledges that he or she is sufficiently proficient in English, or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, so as to allow the Grantee to understand the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Plan and any rules, procedures, forms or documents related to the Stock Award. If the Grantee has received this Agreement, the Plan or any other rules, procedures, forms or documents related to the Stock Award translated into a language other than English, and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

 

16


Repatriation; Compliance with Laws. The Grantee agrees, as a condition of the grant of the Stock Award, to repatriate all payments attributable to the Award and/or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends, dividend equivalents, and any proceeds derived from the sale of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Agreement) in accordance with all foreign exchange rules and regulations applicable to the Grantee. The Company and the Administrator reserve the right to impose other requirements on the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, on the Restricted Stock Units and on any Shares acquired or cash payments made pursuant to the Agreement, to the extent the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Administrator determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or to facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Finally, the Grantee agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Grantee’s personal legal and tax obligations under all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Grantee.

Commercial Relationship. The Grantee expressly recognizes that the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and the Company’s Stock Award grant does not constitute an employment relationship between the Grantee and the Company. The Grantee has been granted Stock Awards as a consequence of the commercial relationship between the Company and the Company’s Subsidiary that employs the Grantee, and the Company’s Subsidiary that employs the Grantee is the Grantee’s sole employer. Based on the foregoing, the Grantee expressly recognizes that (a) the Plan and the benefits the Grantee may derive from participation in the Plan do not establish any rights between the Grantee and the Subsidiary that employs the Grantee, (b) the Plan and the benefits the Grantee may derive from participation in the Plan are not part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by the Subsidiary that employs the Grantee, and (c) any modifications or amendments of the Plan by the Company or the Administrator, or a termination of the Plan by the Company, shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Grantee’s employment with the Subsidiary that employs the Grantee.

Private Placement. The grant of the Stock Award is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Grantee’s country of residence and/or employment but instead is intended to be a private placement. As a private placement, the Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under local law), and the grant of the Stock Award is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities.

Additional Acknowledgements. The GRANTEE also acknowledges and agrees to the following:

 

   

The grant of the Stock Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Stock Awards or benefits in lieu of the Stock Award even if Stock Awards have been granted repeatedly in the past.

 

   

The future value of the Shares and any related dividend equivalents is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty.

 

17


   

No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from the forfeiture of the Stock Award or any of the Restricted Stock Units or related dividend equivalents, the termination of the Plan, or the diminution in value of the Restricted Stock Units or Shares, and the Grantee irrevocably releases the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Administrator and their affiliates from any such claim that may arise.

 

   

None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, nor the Administrator is providing any tax, legal or financial advice or making any recommendations regarding the Grantee’s participation in the Plan, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units, or the Grantee’s acquisition or sale of the Shares delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. The Grantee is hereby advised to consult with his own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

Notifications Applicable to Austria

Consumer Protection Information. If the provisions of the Austrian Consumer Protection Act are applicable to the Agreement and the Plan, the Grantee may be entitled to revoke the Grantee’s acceptance of the Agreement (and thereby revoke his acceptance of the Restricted Stock Units) under the conditions listed below:

(i) If the Grantee accepts the Stock Award, the Grantee may be entitled to revoke the Grantee’s acceptance; provided the revocation is made within one week after such electronic acceptance of the Agreement.

(ii) The revocation must be in written form to be valid and will revoke both acceptance of the Agreement and acceptance of the Restricted Stock Units awarded thereunder. It is sufficient if the Grantee returns the Agreement to the Administrator or a Company representative with language which can be understood as a refusal to conclude or honor the Agreement; provided the revocation is sent within the period discussed above.

Exchange Control Information. The Grantee may be required to comply with certain exchange control obligations if the Grantee holds securities (including Shares) or cash (including proceeds from the sale of such Shares) outside of Austria. If the transaction volume of all of the Grantee’s accounts abroad meets or exceeds €10,000,000, the movement and balance of all accounts must be reported monthly to the Austrian National Bank, as of the last day of the month, on or before the fifteenth day of the following month using the prescribed form “Meldungen SI-Forderungen und/oder SI-Verpflichturngen.”

Terms and Conditions Applicable to Denmark

Treatment of Stock Awards Upon Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, if the Grantee is determined to be an “Employee,” as defined in Section 2 of the Danish Act on the Use of Rights to Purchase or Subscribe for Shares etc. in Employment Relationships (the “Stock Option Act”), the treatment of the Stock Award upon the Grantee’s termination of employment may be governed by Sections 4 and 5 of the Stock Option Act. However, if the provisions in the Agreement or the Plan governing the treatment of the Stock Award upon termination of employment are more favorable, then the provisions of the Agreement or the Plan shall govern.

Foreign Asset / Account Reporting Information. The new Danish Tax Reporting Act that entered into force on January 1, 2019 removed the rules that previously obligated individuals to inform the Danish Tax Administration about shares held in foreign bank or brokerage accounts and deposit accounts with a foreign bank or broker. The use of the relevant Forms V and K are discontinued as of January 1, 2019 and replaced by automatic exchange of information regarding bank and brokerage accounts.

However, the Grantee must still report foreign bank/broker accounts and their deposits, as well as shares held in a foreign bank or broker account in the Grantee’s tax return under the section on foreign affairs and income.

Terms and Conditions Applicable to France

Language Consent. By accepting the Award and the Agreement, which provides for the terms and conditions of the Award, the Grantee confirms having read and understood the documents relating to this grant (the Plan and the Agreement, including this Appendix) which were provided in English language. The Grantee accepts the terms of those documents accordingly. En acceptant l’Attribution et ce Contrat qui contient les termes et conditions de l’Attribution, le Bénéficiaire confirmez avoir lu et compris les documents relatifs à cette attribution (le Plan et le Contrat, ainsi que la présente Annexe) qui vous ont été transmis en langue anglaise. Le Bénéficiaire acceptez ainsi les conditions et termes de ces documents.

The Grantee should consult his / her personal advisor to ensure compliance with applicable reporting obligations.

Notifications Applicable to Germany

The Grantee understands that in the event he or she receives a payment in excess of this amount in connection with the sale of securities (including Shares acquired under the Plan), the Grantee must report the payment to Bundesbank electronically using the “General Statistics Reporting Portal” (“Allgemeines Meldeportal Statistik”) available via Bundesbank’s website (www.bundesbank.de).

 

19


Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. If the Grantee’s acquisition of shares under the Plan leads to a so-called qualified participation at any point during the calendar year, the Grantee will need to report the acquisition when he or she files his or her tax return for the relevant year. A qualified participation is attained if the value of the shares acquired exceeds €150,000. The Grantee will be responsible for obtaining the appropriate form from a German federal bank and complying with the applicable reporting obligations.

Notifications Applicable to Ireland

Director Notification Requirement. If the Grantee is a director, shadow director or secretary of the Company’s Irish subsidiaries or affiliates whose interests meet or exceed 1% of the Company’s voting rights, pursuant to Section 53 of the Irish Company Act 1990, the Grantee must notify the Irish subsidiary or affiliate in writing within five business days of receiving or disposing of an interest in the Company (e.g., Restricted Stock Units or Shares), or within five business days of becoming aware of the event giving rise to the notification requirement, or within five business days of becoming a director or secretary if such an interest exists at the time. This notification requirement also applies with respect to the interests of a spouse or minor children (whose interests will be attributed to the director, shadow director, or secretary).

Terms and Conditions Applicable to Italy

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. If the Grantee is an Italian resident and holds investments or financial assets outside of Italy (such as cash or Restricted Stock Units) during any fiscal year which may generate income taxable in Italy (or if the Grantee is the beneficial owner of such an investment or asset even if the Grantee does not directly hold the investment or asset), the Grantee is required to report such investments or assets on his / her annual tax return for such fiscal year (on UNICO Form, RW Schedule, or on a special form if the Grantee is not required to file a tax return). The Grantee should consult with his / her personal tax advisor as to whether the reporting obligation applies to the Grantee and whether he / she will be required to report details of any outstanding Stock Awards or Shares held by the Grantee outside of Italy in the Grantee’s relevant annual tax return.

Foreign Asset Tax Information. The value of the financial assets held outside of Italy by Italian residents is subject to a foreign asset tax at an annual rate of 2 per thousand (0.2%). The taxable amount will be the fair market value of the financial assets (e.g., Shares) assessed at the end of the calendar year. No tax payment duties arise if the amount of the foreign financial assets held abroad does not exceed a certain threshold.

Terms and Conditions Applicable to the Netherlands

Waiver of Termination Rights. The Grantee hereby waives any and all rights to compensation or damages as a result of the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company whatsoever, insofar as those rights result or may result from (i) the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements under the Plan, or (ii) the Grantee ceasing to have rights under, or ceasing to be entitled to any awards under the Plan as a result of such termination.

 

20


Terms and Conditions Applicable to Sweden

There are no country-specific provisions.

Terms and Conditions Applicable to the United Kingdom

Responsibility for Taxes. This provision supplements Section 8 of the Agreement:

Without limitation to Section 8 of the Agreement, the Grantee agrees that the Grantee is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such taxes, as and when requested by the Company or (if different) the Grantee’s employer or by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Grantee also hereby agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and (if different) the Grantee’s employer against any such taxes that they are required to pay or withhold on the Grantee’s behalf or have paid or will pay to the HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee is a director or executive officer (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that the Grantee is a director or executive officer and income tax due is not collected from or paid by the Grantee within 90 days after the U.K. tax year in which an event giving rise to the indemnification described above occurs, the amount of any uncollected tax may constitute a benefit to the Grantee on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable. The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee ultimately will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or (if different) the Grantee’s employer for the value of any employee national insurance contributions due on this additional benefit, which the Company or (if different) the Grantee’s employer may recover from the Grantee at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in the Agreement.

Background Information

A. The Board of Directors (the “Board”) and stockholders of the Company previously adopted the Jabil Circuit, Inc. 2011 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

B. Section 8 of the Plan provides that the Administrator shall have the discretion and right to grant Stock Awards, including Stock Awards denominated in units representing rights to receive shares, to any Employees or Consultants or Non-Employee Directors, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and any additional terms provided by the Administrator. The Administrator has made a Stock Award grant denominated in units to the Grantee as of the Grant Date pursuant to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.

C. The Grantee desires to accept the Stock Award grant and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement.

D. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Agreement.

Agreement

1. Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee Five Thousand Eight Hundred (5,800) restricted stock units (the “Restricted Stock Units”) as of the Grant Date. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive a Share of Common Stock if the Restricted Stock Unit becomes vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with Section 2 or Section 3 of this Agreement. The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, no dividend rights and no voting rights with respect to the Restricted Stock Units or the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units unless and until the Restricted Stock Units become vested and non-forfeitable and such Shares are delivered to the Grantee in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement. The Grantee is required to pay no cash consideration for the grant of the Restricted Stock Units. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Restricted Stock Units and related rights are nontransferable as provided in Section 5 of this Agreement, (ii) the Restricted Stock Units are subject to forfeiture in the event the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates in certain circumstances, as specified in Section 6 of this Agreement, (iii) sales of Shares of Common Stock delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the Company’s policies regulating trading by Employees or Consultants or Non-Employee Directors, including any applicable “blackout” or other designated periods in which sales of Shares are not permitted, (iv) Shares delivered in settlement will be subject to any recoupment or “clawback” policy of the Company, and (v) any entitlement to dividend equivalents will be in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement. The extent to which the Grantee’s rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units becomes vested and non-forfeitable shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement.

 

1


2. Vesting. Except as may be otherwise provided in Section 3 of this Agreement, the vesting of the Grantee’s rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units shall be determined in accordance with this Section 2. The Grantee’s rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units shall become vested and non-forfeitable at the rate of one hundred percent (100%) of the Restricted Stock Units on October 17, 2020, provided that on such date the Grantee is an Employee of, Consultant to, or Non-Employee Director of, the Company or a Subsidiary. A date at which a Restricted Stock Unit is to become vested under this Section 2 is referred to herein as a “Stated Vesting Date.”

3. Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that is not yet vested on the date such Change in Control is determined to have occurred:

(a) shall become fully vested on the first anniversary of the date of such Change in Control (the “Change in Control Anniversary”) if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director does not terminate prior to the Change in Control Anniversary;

(b) shall become fully vested on the Date of Termination if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates prior to the Change in Control Anniversary as a result of termination by the Company without Cause or resignation by the Grantee for Good Reason; or

(c) shall not become fully vested if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates prior to the Change in Control Anniversary as a result of termination by the Company for Cause or resignation by the Grantee without Good Reason, but only to the extent such Restricted Stock Units have not previously become vested.

This Section 3 shall supersede the standard vesting provision contained in Section 2 of this Agreement only to the extent that it results in accelerated vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, and it shall not result in a delay of any vesting or non-vesting of any Restricted Stock Units that otherwise would occur at a Stated Vesting Date under the terms of the standard vesting provision contained in Section 2 of this Agreement

For purposes of this Section 3, the following definitions shall apply:

(d) “Cause” means:

(i) The Grantee’s conviction of a crime involving fraud or dishonesty; or

 

2


(ii) The Grantee’s continued willful or reckless material misconduct in the performance of the Grantee’s duties after receipt of written notice from the Company concerning such misconduct;

provided, however, that for purposes of Section 3(d)(ii), Cause shall not include any one or more of the following: bad judgment, negligence or any act or omission believed by the Grantee in good faith to have been in or not opposed to the interest of the Company (without intent of the Grantee to gain, directly or indirectly, a profit to which the Grantee was not legally entitled).

(e) “Good Reason” means:

(i) The assignment to the Grantee of any duties adverse to the Grantee and materially inconsistent with the Grantee’s position (including status, titles and reporting requirement), authority, duties or responsibilities, or any other action by the Company that results in a material diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action that is not taken in bad faith;

(ii) Any material reduction in the Grantee’s compensation; or

(iii) Change in location of the Grantee’s assigned office of more than 35 miles without prior consent of the Grantee.

The Grantee’s resignation will not constitute a resignation for Good Reason unless the Grantee first provides written notice to the Company of the existence of the Good Reason within 90 days following the effective date of the occurrence of the Good Reason, and the Good Reason remains uncorrected by the Company for more than 30 days following receipt of such written notice of the Good Reason from the Grantee to the Company, and the effective date of the Grantee’s resignation is within one year following the effective date of the occurrence of the Good Reason.

4. Timing and Manner of Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.

(a) Settlement Timing. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units become vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with Section 2 or Section 3 of this Agreement, the Grantee will have no right to settlement of any such Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units will be settled under this Section 4 by the Company delivering to the Grantee (or his beneficiary in the event of death) a number of Shares equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units that have become vested and non-forfeitable and are to be settled at the applicable settlement date. In the case of Restricted Stock Units that become vested and non-forfeitable at a Stated Vesting Date in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement, such Restricted Stock Units will be settled at a date (the “Stated Settlement Date”) that is as prompt as practicable after the Stated Vesting Date but in no event later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after such Stated Vesting Date (settlement that is prompt but in no event later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the applicable vesting date is referred to herein as “Prompt Settlement”). The settlement of Restricted Stock Units that become vested and non-forfeitable in circumstances governed by Section 3 will be as follows:

 

3


(i) Restricted Stock Units that do not constitute a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A and that become vested in accordance with Section 3(a) (on the Change in Control Anniversary) or Section 3(b) (during the year following a Change in Control) will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the applicable vesting date under Section 3(a) or 3(b).

(ii) Restricted Stock Units that constitute a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A (“409A RSUs”) will be settled as follows:

(A) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 3(a) (on the Change in Control Anniversary), if in connection with the Change in Control there occurred a change in the ownership of the Company, a change in effective control of the Company, or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(5) (a “409A Change in Control”), will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the first anniversary of the 409A Change in Control, and if there occurred no 409A Change in Control in connection with the Change in Control, such 409A RSUs will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the earliest of the applicable Stated Vesting Date, one year after a 409A Change in Control not related to the Change in Control or the termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director, subject to Section 9(b) (including the six-month delay rule); and

(B) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 3(b) (during the year following a Change in Control) will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director, subject to Section 9(b) (including the six-month delay rule).

(b) Manner of Settlement. The Company may make delivery of Shares of Common Stock in settlement of Restricted Stock Units by either delivering one or more certificates representing such Shares to the Grantee (or his beneficiary in the event of death), registered in the name of the Grantee (and any joint name, if so directed by the Grantee), or by depositing such Shares into a stock brokerage account maintained for the Grantee (or of which the Grantee is a joint owner, with the consent of the Grantee). If the Company determines to settle Restricted Stock Units by making a deposit of Shares into such an account, the Company may settle any fractional Restricted Stock Unit by means of such deposit. In other circumstances or if so determined by the Company, the Company shall instead pay cash in lieu of any fractional Share, on such basis as the Administrator may determine. In no event will the Company issue fractional Shares.

 

4


(c) Effect of Settlement. Neither the Grantee nor any of the Grantee’s successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives shall have any further rights or interests in any Restricted Stock Units that have been paid and settled. Although a settlement date or range of dates for settlement are specified above in order to comply with Code Section 409A, the Company retains discretion to determine the settlement date, and no Grantee or beneficiary of a Grantee shall have any claim for damages or loss by virtue of the fact that the market price of Common Stock was higher on a given date upon which settlement could have been made as compared to the market price on or after the actual settlement date (any claim relating to settlement will be limited to a claim for delivery of Shares and related dividend equivalents).

5. Restrictions on Transfer. The Grantee shall not have the right to make or permit to occur any transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock Units, related rights to dividend equivalents or any other rights relating thereto, whether outright or as security, with or without consideration, voluntary or involuntary, and the Restricted Stock Units, related rights to dividend equivalents and other rights relating thereto, shall not be subject to execution, attachment, lien, or similar process; provided, however, the Grantee will be entitled to designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any settlement in respect of the Restricted Stock Units upon the death of the Grantee, in the manner and to the extent permitted by the Administrator. Any purported transfer or other transaction not permitted under this Section 5 shall be deemed null and void.

6. Forfeiture. Except as may be otherwise provided in this Section 6, the Grantee shall forfeit all of his rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units and related dividend equivalents if his Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates for any reason before the Restricted Stock Units become vested in accordance with Section 2 or Section 3 of this Agreement.

7. Dividend Equivalents; Adjustments.

(a) Dividend Equivalents. During the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the date that Shares are issued in settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit, the Grantee will accrue dividend equivalents on Restricted Stock Units equal to the cash dividend or distribution that would have been paid on the Restricted Stock Unit had the Restricted Stock Unit been an issued and outstanding Share of Common Stock on the record date for the dividend or distribution. Such accrued dividend equivalents (i) will vest and become payable upon the same terms and at the same time of settlement as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate, and (ii) will be denominated and payable solely in cash. Dividend equivalent payments, at settlement, will be net of applicable federal, state, local and foreign income and social insurance withholding taxes (subject to Section 8).

(b) Adjustments. The number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the Grantee shall be subject to adjustment by the Company, in accordance with Section 13 of the Plan, in order to preserve without enlarging the Grantee’s rights with respect to such Restricted Stock Units. Any such adjustment shall be made taking into account any crediting of cash dividend equivalents to the Grantee under Section 7(a) in connection with such transaction or event. In the case of an extraordinary cash dividend, the Administrator may determine to adjust the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units under this Section 7(b) in lieu of crediting cash dividend equivalents under Section 7(a). Restricted Stock Units credited to the Grantee as a result of an adjustment shall be subject to the same forfeiture and settlement terms as applied to the related Restricted Stock Units prior to the adjustment.

8. Responsibility for Taxes and Withholding. Regardless of any action the Company, any of its Subsidiaries and/or the Grantee’s employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or any of its affiliates, if any. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the delivery of Shares, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such delivery and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of any award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

(a) withholding from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries; or

(b) withholding in Shares to be delivered upon settlement; or

(c) withholding from dividend equivalent payments (payable in cash) related to the Shares to be delivered at settlement.

To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable withholding rates but not exceeding the maximum statutory withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares attributable to the awarded Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.

Finally, the Grantee shall pay to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that are not satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

9. Code Section 409A.

(a) General. Payments made pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code or to otherwise comply with Section 409A of the Code. Accordingly, other provisions of the Plan or this Agreement notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 9 will apply in order that the Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, will be exempt from or otherwise comply with Code Section 409A. In addition, the Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and/or this Agreement to ensure that all Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, are exempt from or otherwise have terms that comply, and in operation comply, with Code Section 409A (including, without limitation, the avoidance of penalties thereunder). Other provisions of the Plan and this Agreement notwithstanding, the Company makes no representations that the Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, will be exempt from or avoid any penalties that may apply under Code Section 409A, makes no undertaking to preclude Code Section 409A from applying to the Restricted Stock Units and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, and will not indemnify or provide a gross up payment to a Grantee (or his beneficiary) for any taxes, interest or penalties imposed under Code Section 409A.

(b) Restrictions on 409A RSUs. In the case of any 409A RSUs, the following restrictions will apply:

(i) Separation from Service. Any payment in settlement of the 409A RSUs that is triggered by a termination of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director (or other termination of employment) hereunder will occur only if the Grantee has had a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h), with such separation from service treated as the termination for purposes of determining the timing of any settlement based on such termination.

(ii) Six-Month Delay Rule. The “six-month delay rule” will apply to 409A RSUs if these four conditions are met:

(A) the Grantee has a separation from service (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h)) for a reason other than death;

(B) a payment in settlement is triggered by such separation from service; and    

(C) the Grantee is a “specified employee” under Code Section 409A.

If it applies, the six-month delay rule will delay a settlement of 409A RSUs triggered by separation from service where the settlement otherwise would occur within six months after the separation from service, subject to the following:

(D) any delayed payment shall be made on the date six months and one day after separation from service;

 

7


(E) during the six-month delay period, accelerated settlement will be permitted in the event of the Grantee’s death and for no other reason (including no acceleration upon a Change in Control) except to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A; and

(F) any settlement that is not triggered by a separation from service, or is triggered by a separation from service but would be made more than six months after separation (without applying this six-month delay rule), shall be unaffected by the six-month delay rule.

(c) Other Compliance Provisions. The following provisions apply to Restricted Stock Units:

(i) Each tranche of Restricted Stock Units (including dividend equivalents accrued thereon) that is scheduled to vest at a separate Stated Vesting Date under Section 2 shall be deemed a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A.

(ii) The settlement of 409A RSUs may not be accelerated by the Company except to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A. The Company may, however, accelerate vesting (i.e., may waive the risk of forfeiture tied to termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director) of 409A RSUs, without changing the settlement terms of such 409A RSUs.

(iii) It is understood that Good Reason for purposes of this Agreement is limited to circumstances that qualify under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(n)(2).

(iv) Any restriction imposed on 409A RSUs hereunder or under the terms of other documents solely to ensure compliance with Code Section 409A shall not be applied to a Restricted Stock Unit that is not a 409A RSU except to the extent necessary to preserve the status of such Restricted Stock Unit as not being a “deferral of compensation” under Code Section 409A.

(v) If any mandatory term required for 409A RSUs or other RSUs, or related dividend equivalents or other related rights, to avoid tax penalties under Code Section 409A is not otherwise explicitly provided under this document or other applicable documents, such term is hereby incorporated by reference and fully applicable as though set forth at length herein.

(vi) In the case of any settlement of Restricted Stock Units during a specified period following the Stated Vesting Date or other date triggering a right to settlement, the Grantee shall have no influence on any determination as to the tax year in which the settlement will be made.

(vii) In the case of any Restricted Stock Unit that is not a 409A RSU, if the circumstances arise constituting a Disability but termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director has not in fact resulted immediately without an election by the Grantee, then only the Company or a Subsidiary may elect to terminate the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director due to such Disability.

 

8


(viii) If the Company has a right of setoff that could apply to a 409A RSU, such right may only be exercised at the time the 409A RSU would have been settled, and may be exercised only as a setoff against an obligation that arose not more than 30 days before and within the same year as the settlement date if application of such setoff right against an earlier obligation would not be permitted under Code Section 409A.

10. No Effect on Employment or Rights under the Plan. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee the right to continue in the employment of the Company or any Subsidiary or affect any right which the Company or any Subsidiary may have to terminate the employment of the Grantee regardless of the effect of such termination of employment on the rights of the Grantee under the Plan or this Agreement. If the Grantee’s employment is terminated for any reason whatsoever (and whether lawful or otherwise), he will not be entitled to claim any compensation for or in respect of any consequent diminution or extinction of his rights or benefits (actual or prospective) under this Agreement or any Award or otherwise in connection with the Plan. The rights and obligations of the Grantee under the terms of his employment with the Company or any Subsidiary will not be affected by his participation in the Plan or this Agreement, and neither the Plan nor this Agreement form part of any contract of employment between the Grantee and the Company or any Subsidiary. The granting of Awards under the Plan is entirely at the discretion of the Administrator, and the Grantee shall not in any circumstances have any right to be granted an Award.

11. Governing Laws. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

12. Successors; Severability; Entire Agreement; Headings. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and the Grantee and their heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. In the event that any one or more of the provisions or portion thereof contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the same shall not invalidate or otherwise affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof had never been contained herein. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and any rules adopted by the Company or the Administrator and applicable to this Agreement, which are incorporated herein by reference, this Agreement expresses the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to such terms, restrictions and limitations. Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in construing this Agreement.

13. Grantee Acknowledgements and Consents.

(a) Data Privacy. As communicated in Jabil’s Notice of Data Collection, Processing and Transfer of Employee Personal Data, as updated from time to time.

 

9


Data Collection and Usage. The Company collects, processes and uses personal data about the Grantee, including but not limited to, the Grantee’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all awards, rights or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, which the Company receives from the Grantee or the Grantee’s employer. In order for the Grantee to participate in the Plan, the Company will collect his or her personal data for purposes of allocating Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis for the processing of the Grantee’s personal data is based on the necessity for Company’s performance of its obligations under the Plan and pursuant to the Company’s legitimate business interests. In those jurisdictions where the Grantee’s consent to the processing of the Grantee’s personal data is required, the Grantee expressly and explicitly consents to the collection, processing and transfer practices as described herein.

Stock Plan Administration and Service Providers. The Company may transfer the Grantee’s data to one or more third party stock plan service providers based in the United States (“U.S.”), which may assist the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Such service provider(s) may open an account for the Grantee to receive and trade Shares. The Grantee may be asked to acknowledge, or agree to, separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider(s).

International Data Transfers. The Grantee’s personal data will be transferred from the Grantee’s country to the U.S., where the Company and its service providers are based. The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of the Grantee’s data to the U.S. is the Grantee’s consent (where required) or the Company’s participation in a privacy shield agreement and/or adequate agreements.

Data Retention. The Company will use the Grantee’s personal data only as long as necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’s participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws. When the Company no longer needs the Grantee’s personal data, which will generally be seven (7) years after the Grantee participates in the Plan, the Company will remove it from its systems. If the Company keeps the data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be relevant laws or regulations.

Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdraw. The Grantee’s participation in the Plan and his or her grant of consent, if required, if purely voluntary. The Grantee may reject participation in the Plan or withdraw the Grantee’s consent, if applicable, at any time. If the Grantee rejects participation in the Plan, does not consent, if applicable, or withdraws his or her consent, if applicable, the Grantee may be unable to participate in the Plan. This would not affect the Grantee’s existing employment or salary; instead, the Grantee merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.

Data Subject Rights. The Grantee understands that he or she may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in the Grantee’s jurisdiction. Depending on where the Grantee is based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data processed by the Company, (ii) rectification of incorrect data, (iii) deletion of data, (iv) restrictions on processing of data, (v) portability of data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Grantee’s jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Grantee’s personal data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, the Grantee can contact his or her local human resources department.

 

10


(b) Voluntary Participation. The Grantee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary. The value of the Restricted Stock Units is an extraordinary item of compensation. Unless otherwise expressly provided in a separate agreement between the Grantee and the Company or a Subsidiary, the Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.

(c) Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT ELECTRONICALLY, THE GRANTEE HEREBY CONSENTS TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF THE PLAN, THE PROSPECTUS FOR THE PLAN AND OTHER DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THE PLAN (COLLECTIVELY, THE “PLAN DOCUMENTS”). THE COMPANY WILL DELIVER THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ELECTRONICALLY TO THE GRANTEE BY E-MAIL, BY POSTING SUCH DOCUMENTS ON ITS INTRANET WEBSITE OR BY ANOTHER MODE OF ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AS DETERMINED BY THE COMPANY IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT ELECTRONICALLY, THE GRANTEE CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT SUCH PROCEDURES AND DELIVERY MAY BE EFFECTED BY A BROKER OR THIRD PARTY ENGAGED BY THE COMPANY TO PROVIDE ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES RELATED TO THE PLAN. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT ELECTRONICALLY, THE GRANTEE HEREBY CONSENTS TO ANY AND ALL PROCEDURES THE COMPANY HAS ESTABLISHED OR MAY ESTABLISH FOR ANY ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE SYSTEM FOR DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE OF ANY PLAN DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING THIS AGREEMENT, THAT THE COMPANY MAY ELECT TO DELIVER AND AGREES THAT HIS ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE IS THE SAME AS, AND WILL HAVE THE SAME FORCE AND EFFECT AS, HIS MANUAL SIGNATURE. THE COMPANY WILL SEND TO THE GRANTEE AN E-MAIL ANNOUNCEMENT WHEN THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE ELECTRONICALLY FOR THE GRANTEE’S REVIEW, DOWNLOAD OR PRINTING AND WILL PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS ON WHERE THE PLAN DOCUMENTS CAN BE FOUND. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING BY THE COMPANY, THE GRANTEE WILL NOT INCUR ANY COSTS FOR RECEIVING THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ELECTRONICALLY THROUGH THE COMPANY’S COMPUTER NETWORK. THE GRANTEE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE PAPER COPIES OF ANY PLAN DOCUMENT BY SENDING A WRITTEN REQUEST FOR A PAPER COPY TO THE ADMINISTRATOR. THE GRANTEE’S CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF THE PLAN DOCUMENTS WILL BE VALID AND REMAIN EFFECTIVE UNTIL THE EARLIER OF (i) THE TERMINATION OF THE GRANTEE’S PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN AND (ii) THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE GRANTEE’S CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE PLAN DOCUMENTS.    THE COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES

 

11


THAT THE GRANTEE HAS THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO WITHDRAW HIS CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE PLAN DOCUMENTS BY SENDING A WRITTEN NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL TO THE ADMINISTRATOR. IF THE GRANTEE WITHDRAWS HIS CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE, THE COMPANY WILL RESUME SENDING PAPER COPIES OF THE PLAN DOCUMENTS WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF ITS RECEIPT OF THE WITHDRAWAL NOTICE. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT ELECTRONICALLY, THE GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE IS ABLE TO ACCESS, VIEW AND RETAIN AN E-MAIL ANNOUNCEMENT INFORMING THE GRANTEE THAT THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE IN EITHER HTML, PDF OR SUCH OTHER FORMAT AS THE COMPANY DETERMINES IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION.

(d) Unfunded Plan. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that any rights of the Grantee relating to the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights shall constitute bookkeeping entries on the books of the Company and shall not create in the Grantee any right to, or claim against, any specific assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, nor result in the creation of any trust or escrow account for the Grantee. With respect to the Grantee’s entitlement to any payment hereunder, the Grantee shall be a general creditor of the Company.

14. Additional Acknowledgements. By accepting this Agreement electronically, the Grantee and the Company agree that the Restricted Stock Units are granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. The Grantee has reviewed in its entirety the prospectus that summarizes the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, has had an opportunity to request a copy of the Plan in accordance with the procedure described in the prospectus, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to electronically accepting this Agreement and fully understands all provisions of the Plan and this Agreement. The Grantee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions relating to the Plan and this Agreement.

Acceptance by the Grantee

By selecting the “I accept” box on the website of the Company’s administrative agent, the Grantee acknowledges acceptance of, and consents to be bound by, the Plan and this Agreement and any other rules, agreements or other terms and conditions incorporated herein by reference.
