Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On January 24, 2013, the Board appointed: William E. Peters, currently the Company’s Executive Vice President, Human Development, Human Resources, to become the Company’s President and William D. Muir, Jr., currently the Company’s Executive Vice President, Chief Executive Officer, Manufacturing Services, to become the Company’s Chief Operating Officer. Both appointments will be effective March 1, 2013.

Mr. Peters (age 49), Executive Vice President, Human Development, Human Resources since April 2010, joined Jabil in 1990 as a buyer and shortly thereafter was named Purchasing Manager. In 1993 Mr. Peters was named Operations Manager for Jabil’s Michigan facility and was promoted to Vice President, Operations in January 1999. Mr. Peters was named Senior Vice President, Operations in October 2000. He was promoted to Senior Vice President, Regional President — Americas in September 2004. In September 2007, Mr. Peters was named Senior Vice President, Human Development. Prior to joining Jabil, Mr. Peters was a financial analyst for Electronic Data Systems. He holds a B.A. in Economics from Michigan State University.

Mr. Muir (age 44), Executive Vice President, Chief Executive Officer, Manufacturing Services Group since April 2010, joined Jabil in 1992 as a Quality Engineer. Mr. Muir has served in management positions including Senior Director of Operations for Florida, Michigan, Guadalajara, and Chihuahua. Mr. Muir was promoted to Vice President, Operations-Americas in February 2001, was named Vice President, Global Business Units in November 2002 and Senior Vice President, Regional President — Asia in September 2004. Mr. Muir recently served as Executive Vice President, Chief Executive Officer, EMS Division from September 2007 to April 2010. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering and an MBA, both from the University of Florida.

Also on January 24, 2013, the Board’s Compensation Committee determined the fiscal year 2013 cash compensation for Mr. Peters and Mr. Muir, as well as additional long-term grants for Mr. Peters. Mr. Muir will receive an annual base salary of $620,000. He will also be eligible for an additional annual cash incentive for fiscal year 2013 with a target amount of 20% of his salary. The actual amount will be determined by the Compensation Committee, after the end of fiscal year 2013, based on: (1) various levels of the Company’s “core operating income” and “core operating profit margin” and (2) “core return on invested capital.” These salary and annual cash incentive changes are effective September 1, 2012.

Mr. Peters will receive an annual base salary of $620,000. He will also be eligible for an additional annual cash incentive for fiscal year 2013 with a target amount of 30% of his salary. The actual amount will be determined by the Compensation Committee, after the end of fiscal year 2013, based on: (1) various levels of the Company’s “core operating income” and “core operating profit margin” and (2) the Company’s “core return on invested capital.” These salary and annual cash incentive changes are effective September 1, 2012. In addition, Mr. Peters received an additional 10,010 time-based restricted stock units that will vest at the rate of 30% on October 16, 2013, 30% on October 16, 2014, and 40% on October 16, 2015. Mr. Peters also received an additional 20,020 performance-based restricted stock units that will vest, if at all, based on the Company’s cumulative, “adjusted core earnings per share” during the performance period beginning September 1, 2012 and ending on August 31, 2017 (the measurement, and potential vesting, dates will be August 31, 2015, August 31, 2016 and August 31, 2017). Finally, Mr. Peters received an additional $220,620 long-term cash-based award that will vest, if at all, based on the Company’s cumulative, “adjusted core earnings per share” during the performance period beginning September 1, 2012 and ending on August 31, 2015.

A result of these January 24, 2013 decisions of the Board’s Compensation Committee, when combined with its decisions earlier in fiscal year 2013, is that Mr. Peters and Mr. Muir will have the same fiscal year 2013 compensation (although because the grant dates for the equity awards differ, the value of these awards will also likely differ): (1) $620,000 annual base salary; (2) annual cash incentives with a target amount of 120% of salary (the actual amount to be determined as described in the above paragraph); (3) $783, 960 long-term cash-based awards (the actual amount to be determined as described in the above paragraph); (4) 71,140 performance-based restricted stock units (the actual amount to be determined as described in the above paragraph); and (5) 35,570 time-based restricted stock units (scheduled to vest as described in the above paragraph).

For purposes of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the applicable defined terms have the meanings specified below:

• “Adjusted core earnings per share” is the Company’s net income under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) before amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense and related charges and goodwill impairment charges, and net of tax and deferred tax valuation allowance charges that

2

result from the write-off of goodwill and impairment charges, divided by the weighted average number of outstanding shares determined in accordance with GAAP.

• “Core operating income” is the Company’s operating income under GAAP before amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense and related charges and goodwill impairment charges, subject to certain adjustments relating to acquisitions.

• “Core operating profit margin” is the Company’s core operating income divided by net revenue, subject to certain adjustments relating to acquisitions.

• “Core return on invested capital” is based on the Company’s core operating income, net of tax, plus the tax effect of interest expense divided by the average total debt and stockholder’s equity balances, less the average cash and cash equivalent balance, subject to certain adjustments relating to acquisitions.

Jabil Announces New Senior Officers

Seasoned Jabil Executives Named President and Chief Operating Officer

St. Petersburg, FL — January 30, 2013—The Jabil (NYSE: JBL) Board of Directors has named William E. Peters to the position of President and William D. Muir, Jr. to Chief Operating Officer, effective March 1, 2013. Both current officers of Jabil have been with the company for more than 20 years.

“I am very excited about these leadership changes and proud that we have developed such a strong internal bench of manufacturing executives. Although we are a global manufacturing services provider, we are truly in the ‘people business’. I believe we have the absolute best team. A team that takes exceptional care of our people, while remaining focused on serving our customers and shareholders,” said Mark Mondello, Jabil’s Chief Operating Officer.

Bill Peters, Executive Vice President, since 2010, joined Jabil in 1990 as a buyer and shortly thereafter was named Purchasing Manager. Rising rapidly through a variety of operational posts, Peters was promoted to an officer of the company in 1999 as Vice President, Operations. Beginning in 2004 Peters rounded out his operational experience while serving three years as Regional President for the Americas. In September 2007, Peters was named Senior Vice President, Human Development. “Bill’s well-rounded experience in business, operations and human development make him particularly well-suited to tackle this new role of unlocking Jabil’s differentiators and cultural advantages to drive on-going business efficiencies,” said Mondello. Prior to joining Jabil, Peters was a financial analyst for Electronic Data Systems and holds a B.A. in Economics from Michigan State University.

Bill Muir, Executive Vice President, since April 2010, joined Jabil in 1992 as a Quality Engineer. Over the next nine years Muir served as Operations Manager for four different

plants in the Americas, honing his operational expertise and utilizing his Spanish fluency to rapidly expand Jabil’s Latin American service offering. Muir complimented his operational experience by working with many of our largest customers during his tenure as Vice President of Global Business Units. In 2004, Muir was promoted to Regional President for Asia and was stationed there for three years. “I know Bill will help us take advantage of the many wonderful opportunities that lie ahead of us as we continue to differentiate our capabilities,” noted Mondello. Muir holds a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering and an MBA, both from the University of Florida.

The company also announced that Scott D. Slipy, a seasoned Human Resources veteran, has joined Jabil as Executive Vice President, Human Resources & Human Development. Most recently Vice President of Compensation, Benefits & M&A with Cisco Systems, Slipy has 20 years of global human resources, business and leadership experience with global brands like Cisco, Microsoft and Honeywell. “We are fortunate to have Scott’s talent stewarding our HR and HD efforts as we move the company forward,” said Mondello. With extensive international experience, Slipy is fluent in Mandarin and Spanish; and holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Human Resources, both from the University of Minnesota.

As previously announced, current Chief Operating Officer Mark T. Mondello, will assume the Chief Executive Officer role, effective March 1, 2013.
