PROXY STATEMENT
FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
January 19, 2006
INFORMATION CONCERNING SOLICITATION AND VOTING
General
The enclosed Proxy is solicited on behalf of Jabil Circuit,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (Jabil), for use at the
Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Thursday,
January 19, 2006, at 10:00 a.m., local time, and at
any adjournment thereof, for the purposes set forth herein and
in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
The Annual Meeting will be held in the Sunset Ballroom at the
Renaissance Vinoy Golf Club located at 600 Snell Isle Boulevard,
St. Petersburg, Florida 33704. Jabils principal executive
office is located at 10560 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Street North, St. Petersburg, Florida 33716, and its telephone
number at that location is (727) 577-9749.
These Proxy solicitation materials, together with Jabils
2005 Annual Report to Stockholders, were mailed on or about
December 16, 2005 to all stockholders entitled to vote at
the Annual Meeting.
Record Date
Stockholders of record at the close of business on
November 28, 2005 (the Record Date) are
entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of
the Record Date, 204,882,289 shares of Jabils common
stock were issued and outstanding. For information regarding
security ownership by management and by the beneficial owners of
more than 5% of Jabils common stock, see Other
Information-Share Ownership by Principal Stockholders and
Management. The closing sales price of Jabils common
stock on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the
Record Date was $32.68 per share.
Revocability of Proxies
Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by
the person giving it at any time before its use by delivering to
Jabils Secretary a written notice of revocation or a duly
executed proxy bearing a later date (or voting via the Internet
at a later date) or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting
in person.
Voting and Solicitation
Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of
common stock on all matters presented at the Annual Meeting.
Stockholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes in
the election of directors.
The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by Jabil. In
addition, Jabil may reimburse brokerage firms and other persons
representing beneficial owners of shares for their expenses in
forwarding solicitation materials to such beneficial owners.
Proxies may also be solicited by certain of Jabils
directors, officers and regular employees, without additional
compensation, personally or by telephone, telegram, letter or
facsimile. Jabil has engaged The Proxy Advisory Group of
Strategic Stock Surveillance, LLC, to assist in the solicitation
of proxies and to provide related advice and informational
support, for a services fee and the reimbursement of customary
disbursements that are not expected to exceed $15,000 in the
aggregate.
Quorum; Abstentions; Broker Non-Votes
A majority of the shares of Jabil common stock outstanding on
the Record Date must be present or represented at the Annual
Meeting in order to have a quorum for the transaction of
business. Abstentions (votes withheld) and broker
non-votes will be counted as present for purposes of determining
the presence of a quorum. If a quorum is present and voting, the
nine nominees for director receiving the highest number of
affirmative votes of the shares present or represented and
entitled to be voted for them shall be elected as directors.
Therefore, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect
on the election of directors in Proposal 1. The approval of
Proposals 2, 3, 4 and 5 require the affirmative vote of a
majority of the outstanding shares present or represented and
entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting together with the
affirmative vote of a majority of the required quorum.
Abstentions and broker non-votes can have the effect of
preventing approval of Proposals 2, 3, 4 and 5 where the
number of affirmative votes, although a majority of the votes
cast, does not constitute a majority of the required quorum. If
you own shares through a broker, you must instruct your broker
how to vote in order for your vote to be counted.
Voting Results
Votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed
for the Annual Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative
and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes.
Voting Electronically via the Internet
For Shares Directly Registered in the Name of the
Stockholder. Stockholders with shares registered directly
with EquiServe Trust Company, N.A. (EquiServe),
Jabils transfer agent, may vote by mailing in the proxy or
on the Internet at the following address on the World Wide Web:
http://www.eproxyvote.com/jbl. Specific instructions to be
followed by any registered stockholder interested in voting via
the Internet are set forth on the enclosed proxy card. Votes
submitted via the Internet by a registered stockholder must be
received by 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on
January 18, 2006.
For Shares Registered in the Name of a Brokerage or Bank.
A number of brokerage firms and banks are participating in a
program for shares held in street name that offers
Internet voting options. This program is different from the
program provided by EquiServe for shares registered in the name
of the stockholder. If your shares are held in an account at a
brokerage firm or bank participating in the street name program,
you may have already been offered the opportunity to elect to
vote using the Internet. Votes submitted via the Internet
through the street name program must be received by
11:59 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on January 18,
2006. The giving of such a proxy will not affect your right to
vote in person should you decide to attend the Annual Meeting.
These Internet voting procedures, which comply with Delaware
law, are designed to authenticate stockholders identities,
to allow stockholders to vote their shares and to confirm that
stockholders votes have been recorded properly.
Stockholders voting via the Internet through either of these
voting procedures should understand that there may be costs
associated with electronic access, such as usage charges from
Internet access providers and telephone companies, that must be
borne by the stockholders. Also, please be aware that Jabil is
not involved in the operation of either of these Internet voting
procedures and cannot take responsibility for any access or
Internet service interruptions that may occur or any
inaccuracies, erroneous or incomplete information that may
appear.
You may elect to receive future notices of meetings, proxy
materials and annual reports electronically via the Internet, if
then made available by Jabil. If you have previously consented
to electronic delivery, your consent will remain in effect until
withdrawn. If you have not yet enrolled in Jabils Internet
delivery program, we strongly encourage you to do so as it is a
cost-effective way for Jabil to send you proxy statement and
annual report materials. Participation instructions are set
forth on the enclosed proxy card. When next years proxy
statement and annual report materials are available, you may be
sent an e-mail telling you how to access them electronically.
Please note that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC) recently proposed rules regarding the
electronic distribution of proxy materials on websites, as
opposed to being mailed, so these procedures may change by next
year.
2
If you elect to access these materials via the Internet, you may
still request paper copies by contacting your brokerage firm,
bank or Jabil. Your participation in the new Internet program
will remain in effect until you cancel your enrollment. You are
free to cancel your enrollment at any time.
Deadline for Receipt of Stockholder Proposals
Proposals of stockholders of Jabil that are intended to be
presented by such stockholders at Jabils 2006 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders must be submitted and comply with all
applicable requirements of Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and must be received by Jabil no
later than August 18, 2006 in order to be considered for
possible inclusion in the proxy statement and form of proxy
relating to that meeting. In addition, the proxy solicited by
the Board of Directors for the 2006 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders will confer discretionary authority to vote on any
stockholder proposal presented at that meeting, unless Jabil is
provided with written notice of such proposal by
November 1, 2006. Any proposals must be mailed to our
principal executive offices located at 10560 Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. Street North, St. Petersburg, Florida
33716; Attention: Corporate Secretary.
Fiscal Year End
Jabils fiscal year ends August 31.

Role of the Board of Directors Committees
The Board of Directors has standing Audit, Compensation and
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees, and also has a
committee that administers stock option plans for non-officers
and non-directors.
Audit Committee. The functions of the Audit
Committee are described below under the heading Report of
the Audit Committee. The charter of the Audit Committee
was adopted on October 21, 2004, and was attached to last
years Proxy Statement as Exhibit A, and is available
in the Investor Relations section of Jabils website
(www.jabil.com). A copy of this charter may also be obtained
upon request from Jabils Corporate Secretary. All of the
members of the Audit Committee are independent within the
meaning of SEC regulations, the listing standards of the NYSE
and Jabils Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Board of
Directors has determined that each member of the Audit Committee
is an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of the
SEC regulations and that each member has accounting and related
financial management expertise within the meaning of the listing
standards of the NYSE. The Audit Committee met twelve times
during fiscal year 2005.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for
developing and implementing policies and practices relating to
corporate governance, including reviewing and monitoring
implementation of Jabils Corporate Governance Guidelines.
In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
develops and reviews background information on candidates for
the Board of Directors and makes recommendations to the Board of
Directors
6
regarding such candidates. The Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee also evaluates and makes recommendations to
the Board of Directors in connection with its annual review of
director independence and the Board of Directors
performance self-evaluation. The charter of the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee was adopted on October 17,
2002, and subsequently amended on October 26, 2005. The
charter is available in the Investor Relations section of
Jabils website (www.jabil.com). A copy of this charter may
also be obtained upon request from Jabils Corporate
Secretary. All of the members of the Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee are independent within the meaning of the
listing standards of the NYSE and Jabils Corporate
Governance Guidelines. The Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee met five times and did not take any action by written
consent during fiscal year 2005.
Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee
assists the Board of Directors in discharging its
responsibilities relating to the compensation of Jabils
executive officers. The Compensation Committee reviews and
approves corporate goals and objectives relevant to the
compensation of Jabils Chief Executive Officer in light of
those goals and objectives, and sets the compensation level of
the Chief Executive Officer based on this evaluation. The
Compensation Committee is also generally empowered to administer
Jabils 1992 Stock Option Plan and 2002 Stock Incentive
Plan, each with respect to all individuals. The charter of the
Compensation Committee was adopted on October 17, 2002, and
is available in the Investor Relations section of Jabils
website (www.jabil.com). A copy of this charter may also be
obtained upon request from Jabils Corporate Secretary. All
of the members of the Compensation Committee are independent
within the meaning of the listing standards of the NYSE and
Jabils Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Compensation
Committee met five times and took action by written consent two
times during fiscal year 2005.
Committee that administers stock option plans for
non-officers and non-directors. The committee that
administers stock option plans for non-officers and
non-directors administers Jabils 1992 Stock Option Plan
and 2002 Stock Incentive Plan with respect to individuals who
are neither directors nor officers of Jabil and currently
consists of Messrs. Morean and Main. This committee met
four times during fiscal year 2005.
Corporate Governance Guidelines
In October 2005, the Board of Directors enhanced its Corporate
Governance Guidelines, which were originally adopted on
July 17, 2003 to: (i) require that directors submit a
resignation from the board as a matter of course upon their
retirement, resignation or other significant change in their
professional roles and responsibilities (which the Board may
decline to accept); (ii) limit non-employee directors from
serving on the boards of more than four public companies; and
(iii) clarify that each individual director will be
periodically evaluated, not just the board as a whole. The
Corporate Governance Guidelines adopted by the Board of
Directors exceed the new listing standards adopted during 2003
by the NYSE. The full text of the Corporate Governance
Guidelines can be found in the Investor Relations section of
Jabils website (www.jabil.com). A copy of these guidelines
may also be obtained upon request from Jabils Corporate
Secretary.
Selection of Nominees for the Board of Directors
One of the tasks of the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee is to identify and recruit candidates to serve on the
Board of Directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee is responsible for providing a list of nominees to the
Board of Directors for nomination at the annual meeting of the
stockholders. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
will consider nominees for board membership suggested by its
members and other Board of Directors members, as well as
management and stockholders. The Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee may at its discretion retain a third-party
executive search firm to identify potential nominees.
Jabils Chief Executive Officer is included, on a
non-voting basis, in the process of identifying candidates. The
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate a
prospective nominee against the standards and qualifications set
out in Jabils Corporate Governance Guidelines. The
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will take into
account many factors in evaluating a prospective nominee,
including, among other things, having integrity and being
accountable, being able to exercise informed judgment, being
financially literate, and having high performance standards.
7
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider
nominees recommended by stockholders. The Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee will give consideration to these
recommendations for positions on the Board of Directors where
the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has not
determined to re-nominate a qualified incumbent director. For
each annual meeting of stockholders, the Committee will accept
for consideration only one recommendation from any stockholder
or affiliated group of stockholders. An affiliated group of
stockholders means stockholders constituting a group under SEC
Regulation 13D. While the Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee has not established a minimum number of
shares that a stockholder must own in order to present a
nominating recommendation for consideration, or a minimum length
of time during which the stockholder must own its shares, the
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will take into
account the size and duration of a recommending
stockholders ownership interest in Jabil. The Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee will only consider
recommendations of nominees who satisfy the minimum
qualifications prescribed from time to time by the Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee or the full Board of
Directors for board candidates, including that a director must
represent the interests of all stockholders and not serve for
the purpose of favoring or advancing the interests of any
particular stockholder group or other constituency.
All stockholder nominating recommendations must be in writing,
addressed to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
care of Jabils Corporate Secretary at Jabils
principal headquarters, 10560 Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr. Street North, St. Petersburg, FL 33716, and
received by Jabil no later than August 18, 2006 in
accordance with the requirements described under Deadline
for Receipt of Stockholder Proposals. Submissions must be
made by mail, courier or personal delivery. E-mailed submissions
will not be considered. If a recommendation is submitted by a
group of two or more stockholders, the information regarding
recommending stockholders must be submitted with respect to each
stockholder in the group. Acceptance of a recommendation for
consideration does not imply that the Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee will nominate the recommended candidate.
A nominating recommendation must be accompanied by the following
information concerning each recommending stockholder:
|
|
|
|
|
The name and address, including telephone number, of the
recommending stockholder; |
|
|
|
The number of Jabils shares owned by the recommending
stockholder and the time period for which such shares have been
held; |
|
|
|
If the recommending stockholder is not a stockholder of record,
a statement from the record holder of the shares (usually a
broker or bank) verifying the holdings of the stockholder and a
statement from the recommending stockholder of the length of
time that the shares have been held. (Alternatively, the
stockholder may furnish a current Schedule 13D,
Schedule 13G, Form 3, Form 4 or Form 5 filed
with the SEC reflecting the holdings of the stockholder,
together with a statement of the length of time that the shares
have been held); and |
|
|
|
A statement from the stockholder as to whether the stockholder
has a good faith intention to continue to hold the reported
shares through the date of Jabils next annual meeting of
stockholders. |
A nominating recommendation must be accompanied by the following
information concerning the proposed nominee:
|
|
|
|
|
the information required by Item 401 of SEC
Regulation S-K (generally providing for disclosure of the
name, address, any arrangements or understanding regarding
nomination and five-year business experience of the proposed
nominee, as well as information regarding certain types of legal
proceedings within the past five years involving the nominee); |
|
|
|
the information required by Item 403 of SEC
Regulation S-K (generally providing for disclosure
regarding the proposed nominees ownership of securities of
Jabil); |
8
|
|
|
|
|
the information required by Item 404 of SEC
Regulation S-K (generally providing for disclosure of
transactions between Jabil and the proposed nominee valued in
excess of $60,000 and certain other types of business
relationships with Jabil); |
|
|
|
a description of the relationships between the proposed nominee
and the recommending stockholder and any agreements or
understandings between the recommending stockholder and the
nominee regarding the nomination; |
|
|
|
a description of all relationships between the proposed nominee
and any of Jabils competitors, customers, suppliers, labor
unions or other persons with special interests regarding Jabil
known to the recommending stockholder or director in
Jabils filings with the SEC; |
|
|
|
a statement supporting the nominating stockholders view
that the proposed nominee possesses the minimum qualifications
prescribed by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
for nominees or directors from time to time, including those
that may be set forth in Jabils Corporate Governance
Guidelines, and briefly describing the contributions that the
nominee would be expected to make to the Board of Directors and
to the governance of Jabil; |
|
|
|
a statement as to whether, in the view of the nominating
stockholder, the nominee, if elected, would represent all
stockholders and not serve for the purpose of advancing or
favoring any particular stockholder or other constituency of
Jabil; and |
|
|
|
the consent of the proposed nominee to be interviewed by the
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, if the Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee chooses to do so in its
discretion (and the recommending stockholder must furnish the
proposed nominees contact information for this purpose),
and, if nominated and elected, to serve as a director of Jabil. |
Determinations of Director Independence
In October 2005, the Board of Directors undertook its annual
review of director independence. For a director to be considered
independent, the Board of Directors must determine that the
director does not have any material relationship with Jabil that
falls within the eight categories below. The Board of Directors
has established these categories to assist it in determining
director independence, which conform to or are more exacting
than the independence requirements in the NYSE listing
standards. As required by the NYSE listing standards, the Board
of Directors will consider all material relevant facts and
circumstances known to it in making an independence
determination, both from the standpoint of the director and from
that of persons or organizations with which the director has an
affiliation. As a result of this review, the Board of Directors
determined that two-thirds of the directors of Jabil are
independent, including Lawrence S. Grafstein, Mel S. Lavitt,
William D. Morean, Frank A. Newman, Steven A. Raymund and
Kathleen A. Walters.
As required by applicable law, the Board of Directors will make
and publicly disclose its independence determination for each
director when the director is first elected to the Board of
Directors and annually thereafter for all nominees for election
as directors. If the Board of Directors determines that a
director who satisfies the NYSE listing standards is independent
even though he or she does not satisfy all of Jabils
independence requirements, this determination will be disclosed
and explained in the next proxy statement as required by
applicable law.
A director will not be independent if the director falls within
one of the following categories as determined by the Board of
Directors or a committee thereof based on facts known to it in
light of the meanings ascribed to those categories under
applicable NYSE guidance where applicable and otherwise by the
Board of Directors or a committee thereof within its discretion:
|
|
|
|
|
the director is employed by Jabil, or an immediate family member
is an executive officer of Jabil; |
|
|
|
the director receives more than $100,000 per year in direct
compensation from Jabil, other than Director and committee fees
and pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior
service (provided such compensation is not contingent in any way
on continued service); |
9
|
|
|
|
|
an immediate family member of the director is employed by Jabil
and receives more than $100,000 per year in direct
compensation from Jabil; |
|
|
|
the director is affiliated with or employed by Jabils
independent auditor, or an immediate family member is affiliated
with or employed in a professional capacity by Jabils
independent auditor; |
|
|
|
a Jabil executive is on the compensation committee of the Board
of Directors of a company which employs a Jabil director, or an
immediate family member of that Jabil director, as an executive
officer; |
|
|
|
the director is an executive officer or employee, or if an
immediate family member is an executive officer, of another
company that does business with Jabil and the sales by that
company to Jabil or purchases by that company from Jabil, in any
single fiscal year during, are more than the greater of two
percent of the annual revenues of that company or
$1 million; |
|
|
|
the director is an executive officer or employee, or an
immediate family member is an executive officer, of another
company which is indebted for borrowed money to Jabil, or to
which Jabil is indebted for borrowed money, and the total amount
of either of such companys indebtedness to the other at
the end of the last completed fiscal year is more than two
percent of the other companys total consolidated
assets; or |
|
|
|
the director serves as an officer, director or trustee of a
charitable organization, and Jabils discretionary
charitable contributions to the organization are more than two
percent of that organizations total annual charitable
receipts during its last completed fiscal year. |
Board of Directors Meetings During Fiscal 2005
The Board of Directors held a total of five meetings and took
action by written consent eleven times during fiscal year 2005.
All directors attended 75% or more of the aggregate number of
Board of Directors meetings and committee meetings. The
independent Chairman of the Board presides over all meetings of
the Board of Directors, including the executive sessions thereof.
Policy Regarding Attendance at Annual Meeting of
Stockholders
Jabils Corporate Governance Guidelines requires all
directors to endeavor to attend all annual stockholders
meetings, absent unanticipated personal or professional
obligations which preclude them from doing so. To facilitate
such attendance, Jabil endeavors to schedule a regular meeting
of the Board of Directors on the same date as the Annual
Meeting. All of Jabils directors attended the 2004 Annual
Meeting, other than Kathleen A. Walters who had not yet then
been elected to the Board.
Directors Compensation
During the 2005 fiscal year, non-employee directors received the
following annual compensation, payable quarterly: $50,000 for
serving as a member of the Board of Directors; $10,000 for
serving as a non-chair member of the Audit Committee; $20,000
for serving as chair of the Audit Committee; $5,000 for serving
as a non-chair member of the Compensation Committee or the
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; and $10,000 for
serving as the chair of Compensation Committee or the Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee. No director currently
receives any additional cash compensation for attendance at
Board of Directors or committee meetings. Directors are entitled
to reimbursement for expenses incurred in connection with their
attendance at Board of Directors and committee meetings. In
addition, non-employee directors are also eligible to receive
stock option grants pursuant to Jabils 2002 Stock
Incentive Plan. For the 2005 fiscal year, each non-employee
director received an option to purchase 15,000 shares
of common stock of Jabil at a price per share equal to the fair
market value of the common stock on the date of grant.
Stockholder Communication with the Board of Directors
Effective October 2004, the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee approved a process for stockholders and other certain
parties to communicate directly with non-Management members of
the Board
10
of Directors. Communications to non-Management directors must be
in writing and sent Certified Mail in care of Jabils legal
department to the address of Jabils headquarters. All
communications must be accompanied by the following information:
|
|
|
|
|
if the person submitting the communication is a stockholder, a
statement of the type and amount of shares of Jabil that the
person holds; |
|
|
|
if the person submitting the communication is not a stockholder
and is submitting the communication to the non-Management
directors as an interested party, the nature of the
persons interest in Jabil; |
|
|
|
any special interest, meaning an interest not in the capacity of
a stockholder of Jabil, of the person in the subject matter of
the communication; and |
|
|
|
the address, telephone number and e-mail address, if any, of the
person submitting the communication. |
Jabils legal department reviews all such correspondence
and regularly forwards to the Board of Directors copies of all
correspondence that, in the opinion of Jabils legal
department, deals with the functions of the Board of Directors
or committees thereof or that Jabils legal department
otherwise determines requires their attention. Concerns relating
to accounting, internal controls or auditing matters are
immediately brought to the attention of the Chairman of the
Audit Committee and handled in accordance with procedures
established by the Audit Committee with respect to such matters.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Senior Code
Jabil has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which
applies to all directors, officers and employees. In addition,
Jabil has adopted a senior code of ethics entitled Code of
Ethics for the Principal Executive Officer and Senior Financial
Officers of Jabil that applies to the principal executive
officer, president, principal financial officer, chief financial
officer, the principal accounting officer and controller. The
text of both documents can be found in the Investor Relations
section of Jabils website (www.jabil.com). A copy of both
documents may also be obtained upon request from Jabils
Corporate Secretary. Jabil currently anticipates that in the
unlikely event any waivers from its Code of Ethics for the
Principal Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officers are
granted, notice of any such waiver will be posted on its website.

PROPOSAL NO. 2
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO THE JABIL CIRCUIT, INC.
2002 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
The Jabil 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the Stock Incentive
Plan) was adopted by the Board of Directors in October
2001 and approved by the stockholders in January 2002. The
stockholders subsequently approved amendments to the Stock
Incentive Plan in January 2004. The Stock Incentive Plan
provides for the granting of both incentive stock
options as defined in Section 422 Internal Revenue
Code and non-statutory stock options, as well as restricted
stock, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based awards.
Jabil also adopted sub-plans under the Stock Incentive Plan for
its United Kingdom employees (the CSOP Plan) and for
its French employees (the FSOP Plan). The CSOP Plan
and FSOP Plan are tax advantaged plans for Jabils United
Kingdom and French employees, respectively. Shares are issued
under the CSOP Plan and FSOP Plan from the authorized shares
under the Stock Incentive Plan. A significant portion of the
most recent grants under the Stock Incentive Plan to Jabil
executive officers were restricted stock awards that do not vest
unless certain specified performance-based criteria are met.
Jabil currently anticipates that a material portion of future
grants to executive officers under the Stock Incentive Plan will
also include performance-based vesting criteria.
Proposal
The Board of Directors recently adopted amendments to the Stock
Incentive Plan, subject to stockholder approval. The amendments
to the Stock Incentive Plan (i) provide for a
7,000,000 share increase in the aggregate number of shares
of Jabil common stock that may be subject to future awards under
the Stock Incentive Plan as of the Record Date from
3,515,609 shares to 10,515,609 shares (the Share
Increase Amendment), (ii) modify the provisions
relating to the calculation of the number of shares of Jabil
common stock that may be subject to future awards under the
Stock Incentive Plan (the Share Counting Amendment),
and (iii) add provisions necessary to take advantage of the
qualified performance-based compensation exception
to a compensation deduction limitation under applicable federal
tax law (the 162(m) Amendment). As of the Record
Date, awards covering a total of 14,641,886 shares were
outstanding under the Stock Incentive Plan, CSOP Plan and FSOP
Plan, and 3,515,609 shares remained available for future
grants.
The Board of Directors adopted the Share Increase Amendment, the
Share Counting Amendment and the 162(m) Amendment, subject to
stockholder approval. Therefore, these amendments will not
become effective if the stockholders do not approve them.
|
|
|
The Share Increase Amendment. The Share Increase
Amendment is proposed in order to give Jabil flexibility to
grant restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and other
stock-based awards under the Stock Incentive Plan. Jabil
believes that grants of stock-based awards motivate high levels
of performance and provide an effective means of recognizing
employee contributions to the success of Jabil. Moreover,
stock-based award grants align the interests of the employees
with the interests of the stockholders. When Jabil performs
well, employees are rewarded along with other stockholders.
Jabil believes that stock-based award grants are of great value
in recruiting and retaining highly qualified technical and other
key personnel who are in great demand. The Board of Directors
believes that the ability to grant stock-based awards will be
important to Jabils future success by allowing it to
remain competitive in attracting and retaining such key
personnel. |
|
|
The 162(m) Amendment. The 162(m) Amendment modifies the
Stock Incentive Plan to provide that stock appreciation rights
and certain restricted stock awards granted under the Stock
Incentive Plan generally will not be subject to the tax
deduction limits of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the Code).
Section 162(m) of the Code prevents a publicly held
corporation from claiming tax deductions for annual compensation
in excess of $1,000,000 to certain of its senior executives. The
executives who are subject to the compensation deduction
limitation include any individual who, as of the last day of
Jabils taxable year, is Jabils chief executive
officer or among the four highest compensated officers other
than the chief executive officer. Compensation is exempt from |
12
|
|
|
this limitation if it is qualified performance-based
compensation. Stockholder approval of the material terms
of the Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, is required to allow
Jabil to receive tax deductions for the full amount of
performance-based compensation paid to key employees in the form
of stock appreciation rights and certain restricted stock awards
under the Stock Incentive Plan. The material terms that must be
approved include: (1) the employees eligible to receive the
performance-based compensation; (2) the maximum amount of
performance-based compensation that can be paid to any key
employee in a specified period; and (3) with respect to
restricted stock awards, the performance criteria under which
the performance-based compensation will be determined. |
|
|
The Share Counting Amendment. The Stock Incentive Plan
currently provides that any shares exchanged by a participant as
payment in connection with the exercise of a stock option award
or the withholding of taxes related to such an award, shall
again be available for subsequent awards under the Stock
Incentive Plan. In addition, the Stock Incentive Plan currently
permits the calculation of the number of available shares by
counting against the Stock Incentive Plans share limit
only shares actually delivered as a result of exercise of a
stock appreciation right. Under the Share Counting Amendment,
shares exchanged or withheld to pay a stock option exercise
price or satisfy tax withholding obligations will not be
available for subsequent awards under the Stock Incentive Plan.
Also, the Share Counting Amendment requires that all underlying
shares to which the exercise of a stock appreciation right
relates be counted against the Stock Incentive Plan share limits
if the stock appreciation right is settled in the form of a
stock payment. |
In addition to the Share Increase Amendment, the Share Counting
Amendment and the 162(m) Amendment, the Board of Directors
recently adopted amendments to the Stock Incentive Plan to add
provisions necessary to permit electronic administration of
awards granted under the Stock Incentive Plan. Stockholder
approval of the amendments relating to electronic administration
is not required and is not requested.
Recommendation of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests
of Jabil to provide employees with the opportunity to acquire an
ownership interest in Jabil through their participation in the
Stock Incentive Plan and that thereby encourage them to remain
in Jabils employ and more closely align their interests
with those of the stockholders. The Board of Directors also
believes that it is in the best interests of Jabil to maximize
its federal income tax deductions for compensation awards that
provide employees with the opportunity to acquire an ownership
interest in Jabil.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE
FOR THIS PROPOSAL.
Summary of the Stock Incentive Plan, as Amended, Subject to
Stockholder Approval
The following summary of the Stock Incentive Plan is qualified
in its entirety by the terms of the Stock Incentive Plan, a copy
of which reflecting the amendments referenced herein is attached
to this proxy as Appendix A.
Purpose. The purposes of the Stock Incentive Plan are to
attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of
substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to
employees and consultants of Jabil and to promote the success of
Jabils business.
Awards. The Stock Incentive Plan provides for awards of
incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock
awards, performance units, performance shares and stock
appreciation rights. The Board may adopt sub-plans applicable to
particular Subsidiaries. With limited exceptions, the rules of
such sub-plans may take precedence over other provisions of the
Stock Incentive Plan. The ability to adopt such sub-plans will
facilitate Jabils global expansion.
Stock Subject to the Stock Incentive Plan. The aggregate
number of shares of common stock that may be subject to future
awards under the Stock Incentive Plan as of the Record Date,
subject to adjustment upon
13
a change in capitalization, is 3,515,609 shares. Such
shares of common stock may be authorized, but unissued, or
reacquired shares of common stock. Shares of common stock that
were subject to Stock Incentive Plan awards that expire or
become unexercisable without having been exercised in full shall
become available for future awards under the Stock Incentive
Plan. With respect to stock appreciation rights, when a
stock-settled stock appreciation right is exercised, the shares
of common stock subject to the stock appreciation right shall be
counted against the shares of common stock available for
issuance as one share for every share subject to the stock
appreciation right, regardless of the number of shares used to
settle the stock appreciation right upon exercise.
Administration. The Stock Incentive Plan may be
administered by the Board of Directors or one or more committees
of the Board (the Administrator). The Board may
require that the Administrator be constituted to comply with
Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the Exchange Act), Section 162(m) of
the Code, or both. Subject to the other provisions of the Stock
Incentive Plan, the Administrator has the power to determine the
terms of each award granted, including the exercise price, the
number of shares subject to the award and the exercisability
thereof. The Administrator may not modify or amend any
outstanding stock option so as to specify a lower exercise price
or accept the surrender of an outstanding stock option and
authorize the granting of a new stock option with a lower
exercise price in substitution for the surrendered stock option.
In accordance with applicable law, the Board may, by a
resolution adopted by the Board, authorize one or more officers
of Jabil to designate officers (other than the officer so
authorized) and employees of Jabil to be recipients of stock
options and determine the number of stock options to be granted.
Such a Board resolution must specify the total number and the
terms, including exercise price, of the stock options that an
officer or officers of Jabil may grant.
Eligibility. The Stock Incentive Plan provides that the
Administrator may grant awards to employees and consultants,
including non-employee directors. However, the Administrator may
grant incentive stock options only to employees. A grantee who
has received a grant of an award may, if he is otherwise
eligible, receive additional award grants. The Administrator
selects the grantees and determines the number of shares of
common stock to be subject to each award. In making such
determination, the Administrator shall take into account the
duties and responsibilities of the employee or consultant, the
value of his services, his potential contribution to the success
of Jabil, the anticipated number of years of future service and
other relevant factors. The Administrator shall not grant to any
employee, in any fiscal year of Jabil, stock options to purchase
more than 3,000,000 shares of common stock.
Maximum Term and General Terms and Conditions of Awards.
With respect to any grantee who owns stock possessing 10% or
more of the voting power of all classes of stock of Jabil (a
10% Stockholder), the maximum term of any incentive
stock option granted to such optionee must not exceed five
years. The term of all other options granted under the Stock
Incentive Plan may not exceed ten years.
Each award granted under the Stock Incentive Plan is evidenced
by a written agreement between the grantee and Jabil and is
subject to the following general terms and conditions:
|
|
|
(a) Termination of Employment. If a grantees
continuous status as an employee or consultant terminates for
any reason (other than upon the grantees death or
disability), the grantee may exercise his unexercised option or
stock appreciation right, but only within such period of time as
is determined by the Administrator (with such determination
being made at the time of grant and not exceeding 3 months
in the case of an incentive stock option) and only to the extent
that the grantee was entitled to exercise it at the date of such
termination (but in no event may the option or stock
appreciation right be exercised later than the expiration of the
term of such award as set forth in the award agreement). A
grantees stock award shall be forfeited, to the extent it
is forfeitable immediately before the date of such termination,
or settled by delivery of the appropriate number of unrestricted
shares, to the extent it is nonforfeitable. A grantees
performance shares or performance units with respect to which
the performance period has not ended as of the date of such
termination shall terminate. |
|
|
(b) Disability. If a grantees continuous
status as an employee or consultant terminates as a result of
permanent and total disability (as defined in
Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), the grantee may exercise his
unexercised option or stock appreciation right, but only within
12 months from the date of such |
14
|
|
|
termination, and only to the extent that the optionee was
entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination (but in
no event may the option or stock appreciation right be exercised
later than the expiration of the term of such award as set forth
in the award agreement). A grantees stock award shall be
forfeited, to the extent it is forfeitable immediately before
the date of such termination, or settled by delivery of the
appropriate number of unrestricted shares, to the extent it is
nonforfeitable. A grantees performance shares or
performance units with respect to which the performance period
has not ended as of the date of such termination shall terminate. |
|
|
(c) Death. In the event of a grantees death,
the grantees estate or a person who acquired the right to
exercise the deceased grantees option or stock
appreciation right by bequest or inheritance may exercise the
option or stock appreciation right, but only within
12 months following the date of death, and only to the
extent that the grantee was entitled to exercise it at the date
of death (but in no event may the option or stock appreciation
right be exercised later than the expiration of the term of such
award as set forth in the award agreement). A grantees
stock award shall be forfeited, to the extent it is forfeitable
immediately before the date of such termination, or settled by
delivery of the appropriate number of unrestricted shares, to
the extent it is nonforfeitable. A grantees performance
shares or performance units with respect to which the
performance period has not ended as of the date of such
termination shall terminate. |
|
|
(d) Nontransferability of Awards. Except as
described below, an award granted under the Stock Incentive Plan
is not transferable by the grantee, other than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during the
grantees lifetime only by the grantee. In the event of the
grantees death, an option or stock appreciation right may
be exercised by a person who acquires the right to exercise the
award by bequest or inheritance. To the extent and in the manner
permitted by applicable law and the Administrator, a grantee may
transfer an award to certain family members and other
individuals and entities. |
Terms and Conditions of Options. Each option granted
under the Stock Incentive Plan is subject to the following terms
and conditions:
|
|
|
(a) Exercise Price. The Administrator determines the
exercise price of options to purchase shares of common stock at
the time the options are granted. As a general rule, the
exercise price of an option must be no less than 100% (110% for
an incentive stock option granted to a 10% Stockholder) of the
fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is
granted. This general rule is different than the exercise price
provision of the 1992 Stock Option Plan, which does not place
such a restriction on the exercise price of a nonstatutory stock
option. The Stock Incentive Plan provides exceptions for certain
options granted in connection with an acquisition by Jabil of
another corporation or granted as inducements to an
individuals commencing employment with Jabil. For so long
as Jabils common stock is traded on the NYSE, the fair
market value of a share of common stock shall be the closing
sales price for such stock (or the closing bid if no sales were
reported) as quoted on such system on the last market trading
day prior to the date of determination of such fair market value. |
|
|
(b) Exercise of the Option. Each award agreement
specifies the term of the option and the date when the option is
to become exercisable. The terms of such vesting are determined
by the Administrator. An option is exercised by giving written
notice of exercise to Jabil, specifying the number of full
shares of common stock to be purchased and by tendering full
payment of the purchase price to Jabil. |
|
|
(c) Form of Consideration. The consideration to be
paid for the shares of common stock issued upon exercise of an
option is determined by the Administrator and set forth in the
award agreement. Such form of consideration may vary for each
option, and may consist entirely of cash, check, promissory
note, other shares of Jabils common stock, any combination
thereof, or any other legally permissible form of consideration
as may be provided in the Stock Incentive Plan and the award
agreement. |
|
|
(d) Value Limitation. If the aggregate fair market
value of all shares of common stock subject to a grantees
incentive stock option which are exercisable for the first time
during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, the excess options
shall be treated as nonstatutory options. |
15
|
|
|
(e) Other Provisions. The award agreement may
contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not
inconsistent with the Stock Incentive Plan as may be determined
by the Administrator. Shares of common stock covered by options
which have terminated and which were not exercised prior to
termination will be returned to the Stock Incentive Plan. |
Stock Appreciation Rights. The Administrator may grant
stock appreciation rights in tandem with an option or alone and
unrelated to an option. Tandem stock appreciation rights shall
expire no later than the expiration of the related option. Stock
appreciation rights may be exercised by the delivery to Jabil of
a written notice of exercise. The exercise of a stock
appreciation right will entitle the grantee to receive the
excess of the percentage stated in the award agreement of the
fair market value of a share of common stock over the exercise
price for each share of common stock with respect to which the
stock appreciation right is exercised. Payment upon exercise of
a stock appreciation right may be in cash, shares of common
stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, as
determined by the Administrator. The Administrator shall not
grant to any employee, in any fiscal year of Jabil, stock
appreciation rights covering more than 3,000,000 shares of
common stock.
Stock Awards. The Administrator may grant awards of
shares of common stock in such amount and upon such terms and
conditions as the Administrator specifies in the award
agreement. No more than 3,000,000 shares of common stock
may be granted pursuant to stock awards to an individual in any
calendar year.
Code Section 162(m) Provisions. To the extent the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors considers it
desirable for compensation delivered pursuant to a stock award
to be eligible to qualify for an exemption from the limit on tax
deductibility of compensation under Section 162(m) of the
Code, the Compensation Committee may provide that the lapsing of
restrictions on the stock award and the distribution of shares,
as applicable, shall be subject to satisfaction of one, or more
than one, objective performance targets. The Compensation
Committee shall determine the performance targets that will be
applied with respect to each such stock award at the time of
grant, but in no event later than 90 days after the
commencement of the period of service to which the performance
target(s) relate. The performance criteria applicable to such
stock awards will be one or more of the following criteria:
stock price; market share; sales; earnings per share, core
earnings per share or variations thereof; return on equity;
costs; revenue; cash to cash cycle; days payables outstanding;
days of supply; days sales outstanding; cash flow; operating
income; profit after tax; profit before tax; return on assets;
return on sales; inventory turns; invested capital; net
operating profit after tax; return on invested capital; total
shareholder return; earnings; return on equity or average
shareowners equity; total shareowner return; return on
capital; return on investment; income or net income; operating
income or net operating income; operating profit or net
operating profit; operating margin; return on operating revenue;
contract awards or backlog; overhead or other expense reduction;
growth in shareowner value relative to the moving average of the
S&P 500 Index or a peer group index; credit rating;
strategic plan development and implementation; net cash provided
by operating activities; gross margin; economic value added;
customer satisfaction; financial return ratios; and market
performance.
The Compensation Committee may appropriately adjust any
evaluation of performance under the criteria set forth above to
exclude certain items or events or in such other manner and to
such extent as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate
under the applicable circumstances. The Compensation Committee
may not increase the number of shares granted pursuant to any
such stock award, nor may it waive the achievement of any
performance target. Prior to the payment of any such stock
award, the Compensation Committee shall certify in writing that
the applicable performance target(s) was met.
Performance Units and Performance Shares. The
Administrator may grant awards of performance units and
performance shares in such amounts and upon such terms and
conditions, including the performance goals and the performance
period, as the Administrator specifies in the award agreement.
The Administrator will establish an initial value for each
performance unit on the date of grant.
The initial value of a performance share will be the fair market
value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. Payment
of earned performance units or performance shares will be occur
following the close of
16
the applicable performance period and in the form of cash,
shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of
common stock.
Adjustment upon Changes in Capitalization. In the event
of changes in the outstanding stock of Jabil by reason of any
stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, mergers,
recapitalizations or other change in the capital structure of
Jabil, an appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Board of
Directors in: (i) the number of shares of common stock
subject to the Stock Incentive Plan, (ii) the number and
class of shares of common stock subject to any award outstanding
under the Stock Incentive Plan, and (iii) the exercise
price of any such outstanding award. The determination of the
Board of Directors as to which adjustments shall be made shall
be conclusive.
Change in Control. In the event of a change in control of
Jabil, any award outstanding on the date of such change in
control that is not yet vested shall become fully vested on the
earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the date of such
change in control, if the grantees continuous status as an
employee or consultant of Jabil does not terminate prior to such
anniversary, or (ii) the date of termination of the
grantees continuous status as an employee or consultant of
Jabil as a result of termination by Jabil or its successor
without cause or resignation by the grantee for good reason.
However, an award will not become fully vested due to a change
in control if the grantees continuous status as an
employee or consultant terminates as a result of termination by
Jabil or its successor for cause or resignation by the grantee
without good reason.
In the event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of Jabil,
all outstanding awards will terminate immediately before the
consummation of such proposed action. The Board may, in the
exercise of its sole discretion in such instances, declare that
any option or stock appreciation right shall terminate as of a
date fixed by the Board and give each grantee the right to
exercise his option or stock appreciation right as to all or any
part of the stock covered by such award, including shares as to
which the option or stock appreciation right would not otherwise
be exercisable.
In the event of a merger of Jabil with or into another
corporation, the sale of substantially all of the assets of
Jabil or the acquisition by any person, other than Jabil, of 50%
or more of Jabils then outstanding securities, each
outstanding option and stock appreciation right shall be assumed
or an equivalent option and stock appreciation right shall be
substituted by the successor corporation; provided, however, if
such successor or purchaser refuses to assume the then
outstanding options or stock appreciation rights, the Stock
Incentive Plan provides for the acceleration of the
exercisability of all or some outstanding options and stock
appreciation rights.
Amendment and Termination of the Stock Incentive Plan.
The Board may at anytime amend, alter, suspend or terminate the
Stock Incentive Plan. Jabil shall obtain stockholder approval of
any amendment to the Stock Incentive Plan in such a manner and
to such a degree as is necessary and desirable to comply with
Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act or Section 422 of the
Code (or any other applicable law or regulation, including the
requirements of any exchange or quotation system on which the
common stock is listed or quoted). Furthermore, Jabil shall
obtain stockholder approval of any modification or amendment to
the extent that the Board of Directors, in its sole and absolute
discretion, reasonably determines, in accordance with the
requirements of any exchange or quotation system on which the
common stock is listed or quoted, that such modification or
amendment constitutes a material revision or material amendment
of the Stock Incentive Plan. No amendment or termination of the
Stock Incentive Plan shall impair the rights of any grantee,
unless mutually agreed otherwise between the grantee and Jabil,
which agreement must be in writing and signed by the grantee and
Jabil. In any event, the Stock Incentive Plan shall terminate on
October 17, 2011. Any awards outstanding under the Stock
Incentive Plan at the time of its termination shall remain
outstanding until they expire by their terms.
Federal Tax Information
Pursuant to the Stock Incentive Plan, Jabil may grant either
incentive stock options, as defined in
Section 422 of the Code, nonstatutory options, stock
appreciation rights, stock awards, performance units or
performance shares.
17
An optionee who receives an incentive stock option grant will
not recognize any taxable income either at the time of grant or
exercise of the option, although the exercise may subject the
optionee to the alternative minimum tax.
Upon the sale or other disposition of the shares more than two
years after the grant of the option and one year after the
exercise of the option, any gain or loss will be treated as a
long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending upon the
holding period. If these holding periods are not satisfied, the
optionee will recognize ordinary income at the time of sale or
disposition equal to the difference between the exercise price
and the lower of (a) the fair market of the shares at the
date of the option exercise or (b) the sale price of the
shares. Jabil will be entitled to a deduction in the same amount
as the ordinary income recognized by the optionee. Any gain or
loss recognized on such a premature disposition of the shares in
excess of the amount treated as ordinary income will be
characterized as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss,
depending on the holding period.
All options that do not qualify as incentive stock options are
referred to as nonstatutory options. An optionee will not
recognize any taxable income at the time he or she receives a
nonstatutory option grant. However, upon exercise of the
nonstatutory option, the optionee will recognize ordinary
taxable income generally measured as the excess of the fair
market value of the shares purchased on the date of exercise
over the purchase price. Any taxable income recognized in
connection with an option exercise by an optionee who is also an
employee of Jabil will be subject to tax withholding by Jabil.
Upon the sale of such shares by the optionee, any difference
between the sale price and the fair market value of the shares
on the date of exercise of the option will be treated as
long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on the
holding period. Jabil will be entitled to a tax deduction in the
same amount as the ordinary income recognized by the optionee
with respect to shares acquired upon exercise of a nonstatutory
option.
With respect to stock awards, stock appreciation rights,
performance units and performance shares that may be settled
either in cash or in shares of common stock that are either
transferable or not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture
under Section 83 of the Code, the grantee will realize
ordinary taxable income, subject to tax withholding, equal to
the amount of the cash or the fair market value of the shares of
common stock received. Jabil will be entitled to a deduction in
the same amount and at the same time as the compensation income
is received by the participant.
With respect to shares of common stock that are both
nontransferable and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture,
the participant will realize ordinary taxable income equal to
the fair market value of the shares of common stock at the first
time the shares of common stock are either transferable or not
subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Jabil will be
entitled to a deduction in the same amount and at the same time
as the ordinary taxable income realized by the grantee.
All of the above-described deductions are subject to the
limitations on deductibility described in Section 162(m) of
the Code. It is Jabils intention that the plan be
construed and administered in a manner that maximizes the
deductibility of compensation under Section 162(m) of the
Code.
The foregoing is only a summary of the effect of federal income
taxation upon the grantee and Jabil with respect to the grant
and exercise of awards under the Stock Incentive Plan, does not
purport to be complete, and does not discuss the tax
consequences of the grantees death or the income tax laws
of any municipality, state or foreign country in which a grantee
may reside.

PROPOSAL NO. 3
APPROVAL OF THE JABIL CIRCUIT, INC. ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN
The Jabil Circuit, Inc. Annual Incentive Plan (the Annual
Incentive Plan) was adopted by the Board of Directors on
October 27, 2005. The complete text of the Annual Incentive
Plan is set forth in Appendix B.
The Board of Directors adopted the Annual Incentive Plan subject
to stockholder approval. Therefore, the Annual Incentive Plan
will not become effective if the stockholders do not approve it.
The Annual Incentive Plan is designed so that annual incentive
awards granted pursuant to its terms generally will not be
subject to the tax deduction limits of Section 162(m) of
the Code. Section 162(m) of the Code prevents a publicly
held corporation from claiming tax deductions for annual
compensation in excess of $1,000,000 to certain of its senior
executives. The executives who are subject to the compensation
deduction limitation include any individual who, as of the last
day of Jabils taxable year, Jabils chief executive
officer or among the four highest compensated officers other
than the chief executive officer. Compensation is exempt from
this limitation if it is qualified performance-based
compensation.
The purpose of this proposal is to request stockholder approval
of the material terms of the Annual Incentive Plan in order to
take advantage of this exception and ensure that Jabil is able
to receive tax deductions for the full amount of
performance-based compensation paid to officers in the form of
annual incentive awards under the Annual Incentive Plan. The
material terms that must be approved include (1) the
employees eligible to receive the performance-based
compensation, (2) the performance criteria under which the
performance-based compensation will be determined, and
(3) the maximum amount of performance-based compensation
that could be paid to any executive in a fiscal year.
The following is a summary of the material terms of the Annual
Incentive Plan, including the material terms that stockholders
are being asked to approve.
Description of the Annual Incentive Plan
Purpose. The purpose of the Annual Incentive Plan is to
motivate and reward short-term performance by providing cash
bonus payments based upon the achievement of pre-established and
objective performance goals. The Annual Incentive Plan also
provides for discretionary bonus awards.
Administration. The Annual Incentive Plan is administered
by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Among
other things, the Compensation Committee has the authority to
select participants in the Annual Incentive Plan from among
Jabils executive officers, and to determine the
performance goals, the bonus amounts to be paid upon achievement
of the performance goals, to make other discretionary bonus
awards, and to determine other terms and conditions of awards
under the Annual Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee also
has the authority to establish and amend rules and regulations
relating to the Annual Incentive Plan and to make all other
determinations necessary and advisable for the administration of
the Annual Incentive Plan. All decisions made by the
Compensation Committee pursuant to the Annual Incentive Plan are
made in the Compensation Committees sole discretion and
are final and binding.
Eligibility. Executive officers designated by the
Compensation Committee are eligible to be granted annual
incentive awards and discretionary awards under the Annual
Incentive Plan. Although Section 162(m) of the Code limits
deductibility only for compensation paid to the five most highly
compensated executive officers, the performance goals with
respect to annual incentive awards are applied to all executive
officers in the event that one or more should become subject to
the limits of Section 162(m) of the Code.
Terms of Annual Incentive Awards. Annual incentive awards
under the Annual Incentive Plan are made for each fiscal year.
Annual incentive awards under the Annual Incentive Plan consist
of cash amounts payable upon the achievement during a fiscal
year of specified objective performance goals. Within the first
90 days of the fiscal year, the Compensation Committee will
establish the performance goal(s) and the target bonus, which
will be earned if the performance goal(s) are achieved. The
target bonus for each participant will be determined as a
percentage of the participants base salary or as the sum
of a percentage of the funds available for the payment of such
bonus and a percentage of the participants base salary up
to a designated
19
maximum percentage of the participants base salary. After
the end of the performance period, the Compensation Committee
will certify in writing the extent to which the performance
goals are achieved and determine the amount of the annual
incentive award that is payable, provided that the Compensation
Committee will not have the discretion to increase the amount of
incentive compensation actually paid. All annual incentive award
amounts payable under the Annual Incentive Plan will be paid as
soon as practicable after the Compensation Committees
certification.
Performance Goals. Performance goals applicable to annual
incentive awards under the Annual Incentive Plan will be based
on one or more of the following performance objectives: stock
price; market share; sales; earnings per share, core earnings
per share or variations thereof; return on equity; costs;
revenue; cash to cash cycle; days payables outstanding; days of
supply; days sales outstanding; cash flow; operating income;
profit after tax; profit before tax; return on assets; return on
sales; inventory turns; invested capital; net operating profit
after tax; return on invested capital; total shareholder return;
earnings; return on equity or average shareowners equity;
total shareowner return; return on capital; return on
investment; income or net income; operating income or net
operating income; operating profit or net operating profit;
operating margin; return on operating revenue; contract awards
or backlog; overhead or other expense reduction; growth in
shareowner value relative to the moving average of the S&P
500 Index or a peer group index; credit rating; strategic plan
development and implementation; net cash provided by operating
activities; gross margin; economic value added; customer
satisfaction; financial return ratios; and market performance.
Maximum Annual Incentive Award Payable. For purposes of
Section 162(m) of the Code, Jabil is required to establish
a maximum amount of performance-based compensation that may be
paid to any participant pursuant to an annual incentive award
under the Annual Incentive Plan in any one fiscal year. The
maximum annual incentive award amount payable under the Plan is
300% of the participants base salary. This limitation may
not be increased without stockholder approval.
Termination of Employment. A participant whose employment
terminates during the fiscal year will not be entitled to any
payment with respect to the annual incentive award.
Discretionary Awards. The Annual Incentive Plan also
authorizes the Compensation Committee to make cash bonus awards
to executive officers in such amounts and upon such terms and
conditions as shall the Compensation Committee determine in its
discretion. Discretionary awards are not qualified
performance-based compensation and are not exempt
from the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code.
Amendment and Discontinuance. The Annual Incentive Plan
may be amended, modified or terminated by the Board at any time,
but no such amendment, modification or termination will affect
the payment of any award for a fiscal year that has already
ended or increase the amount of any award.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE
FOR THIS PROPOSAL.

PROPOSAL NO. 4
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE JABIL CIRCUIT, INC.
2002 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The Jabil 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Stock
Purchase Plan) was adopted by the Board of Directors in
October 2001 and approved by the stockholders in January 2002.
The Stock Purchase Plan, which is intended to qualify under
Section 423 of the Code, permits eligible employees to
purchase shares of Jabils common stock at a discount
through payroll deductions.
Proposal
The Board of Directors recently amended the Stock Purchase Plan,
subject to stockholder approval. The amendment to the Stock
Purchase Plan provides for a 2,000,000 share increase in
the aggregate number of shares of Jabil common stock that may be
issued under the Stock Purchase Plan as of the Record Date from
517,528 shares to 2,517,528 shares.
The Board of Directors adopted the amendment, subject to
stockholder approval. Therefore, the amendment will not become
effective if the stockholders do not approve it.
Recommendation of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests
of Jabil to provide employees with the opportunity to acquire an
ownership interest in Jabil through their participation in the
Stock Purchase Plan through their participation in the Stock
Incentive Plan and thereby encourage them to remain in
Jabils employ and more closely align their interests with
those of the stockholders.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE
FOR THIS PROPOSAL.
Summary of the Stock Purchase Plan, as Amended, Subject to
Stockholder Approval
The following summary of the principal features and effects of
the Stock Purchase Plan is qualified in its entirety by the
terms of the Stock Purchase Plan, a copy of which reflecting the
amendment referenced herein is attached to this proxy as
Appendix C.
Purpose. The purpose of the Stock Purchase Plan is to
provide employees of Jabil and certain of its subsidiaries as
designed by the Board (the Subsidiaries) with an
opportunity to purchase common stock through accumulated payroll
deductions. Jabil intends to have the Stock Purchase Plan
qualify as an employee stock purchase plan under
Section 423 of the Code. The Board may adopt sub-plans
applicable to particular Subsidiaries, which sub-plans may be
designed to be outside the scope of Section 423 of the
Code. With limited exceptions, the rules of such sub-plans may
take precedence over other provisions of the Stock Purchase
Plan. The ability to adopt such sub-plans will facilitate
Jabils global expansion.
Administration. The Stock Purchase Plan will be
administered by the Board of Directors or a committee of members
of the Board appointed by the Board (the
Administrator). Every finding, decision and
determination by the Administrator shall, to the full extent
permitted by law, be final and binding upon all parties. The
Board may adopt rules and procedures relating to the operation
of the Stock Purchase Plan to accommodate the specific
requirements of local laws and procedures.
Eligibility. All employees of Jabil or its Subsidiaries
are eligible to participate after 90 days of continuous
employment if they are regularly employed for at least
20 hours per week and more than five months per calendar
year. Participation in the Stock Purchase Plan ends
automatically on termination of employment with Jabil or a
Subsidiary. Eligible employees may become a participant by
completing a subscription agreement authorizing payroll
deductions and filing it with Jabils payroll office at
least ten business days before the applicable enrollment date.
21
Offering Periods. The Stock Purchase Plan is implemented
by consecutive six month offering periods commencing on the
first trading day on or after July 1, 2002 and on January 1
and July 1 of each year thereafter.
Purchase Price. The purchase price per share of the
shares offered under the Stock Purchase Plan in a given offering
period shall be the lower of 85% of the fair market value of a
share of common stock on the enrollment date or 85% of the fair
market value of a share of common stock on the exercise date.
The fair market value of the common stock on a given date shall
be the closing sale price of a share of common stock for such
date as reported by the NYSE or any other established stock
exchange or national market system on which the common stock is
listed. The shares of Jabil common stock purchased pursuant to
the Stock Purchase Plan will represent newly-issued shares.
Payroll Deductions. The purchase price for the shares of
common stock is accumulated by payroll deductions during the
offering period in amounts elected by the participants not
exceeding 10% of such participants eligible compensation during
the offering period, which is defined in the Stock Purchase Plan
to include all regular straight earnings and any payments for
overtime, shift premiums, commissions, incentive compensation,
incentive payments, regular bonuses and other compensation. A
participant may discontinue his or her participation in the
Stock Purchase Plan at any time during the offering period.
Payroll deductions shall commence on the first payday following
the enrollment date, and shall end on the exercise date of the
offering period unless sooner terminated as provided in the
Stock Purchase Plan. No interest shall accrue on a
participants payroll deductions.
Grant and Exercise of Option. The maximum number of
shares placed under option to a participant in an offering
period is that number determined by dividing the amount of the
participants total payroll deductions to be accumulated
prior to an exercise date by the lower of 85% of the fair market
value of the common stock at the beginning of the offering
period or on the exercise date, provided that a participant will
not be permitted to purchase during each offering period more
than a number of shares determined by dividing $12,500 by the
fair market value of Jabils common stock on the enrollment
date. Unless a participant withdraws from the Stock Purchase
Plan, such participants option for the purchase of shares
of common stock will be exercised automatically on each exercise
date for the maximum number of whole shares of common stock at
the applicable price. As promptly as practicable after each
exercise date on which a participants purchase of shares
of common stock occurs, Jabil will arrange the delivery to the
participant of a certificate representing the shares of common
stock purchased upon exercise of the participants option.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no employee will be permitted to
subscribe for shares of common stock under the Stock Purchase
Plan if, immediately after the grant of the option, the employee
would own five percent or more of the voting power or value of
all classes of stock of Jabil or of any of its subsidiaries
(including stock that may be purchased under the Stock Purchase
Plan or pursuant to any other options), nor shall any employee
be granted an option that would permit the employee to buy under
all employee stock purchase plans of Jabil more than $25,000
worth of stock (determined at the fair market value of the
shares of common stock at the time the option is granted) in any
calendar year. Options may be granted under the Stock Purchase
Plan from time to time in substitution for stock options held by
employees of another corporation who become, or who became prior
to the effective date of the Stock Purchase Plan, employees of
Jabil or one of its subsidiaries as a result of a merger with or
acquisition by Jabil.
Withdrawal; Termination of Employment. Employees may end
their participation in the offering at any time during the
offering period, and participation ends automatically on
termination of employment with Jabil or a Subsidiary. A
participant will be required to withdraw all of the payroll
deductions credited to such participants account and not
yet used and must give written notice of such withdrawal to
Jabil.
Transferability. No rights or accumulated payroll
deductions of a participant under the Stock Purchase Plan may be
assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any
way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or
by designation of a beneficiary as provided in the Stock
Purchase Plan) and any such attempt may be treated by Jabil as
an election to withdraw from the Stock Purchase Plan.
Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution,
Merger, Asset Sale or Change of Control. Subject to any
required action by Jabils stockholders, the shares of
common stock reserved under the Stock
22
Purchase Plan, as well as the price per share of common stock
covered by each option under the Stock Purchase Plan that has
not yet been exercised, shall be proportionately adjusted for
any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of
common stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split,
stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the common
stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares
of common stock effected without receipt of consideration by
Jabil; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible
securities of Jabil shall not be deemed to have been
effected without receipt of consideration. Such
adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in
that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. In the
event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of Jabil, the
offering period will terminate immediately prior to the
consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided
by the Board. In the event of a proposed sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of Jabil or a merger of Jabil
with or into another corporation, the Stock Purchase Plan
provides that each option under the Stock Purchase Plan be
assumed or an equivalent option be substituted by the successor
or purchaser corporation, unless the Board determines to shorten
the offering period or to cancel each outstanding right to
purchase and to refund all sums collected during that offering
period to the participants.
Amendment and Termination. Jabils Board of
Directors may at any time and for any reason terminate or amend
the Stock Purchase Plan. Except as provided in the Stock
Purchase Plan with respect to adjustments upon changes in
capitalization, dissolution, merger, asset sale or change of
control, no such termination can affect options previously
granted, provided that an offering period may be terminated by
the Board of Directors on any exercise date if the Board
determines that the termination of the Stock Purchase Plan is in
the best interests of Jabil and its stockholders. Except as
provided in the Stock Purchase Plan with respect to adjustments
upon changes in capitalization, dissolution, merger, asset sale
or change of control, no amendment may make any change in any
option theretofore granted that adversely affects the rights of
any participant. To the extent necessary to comply with
Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, as amended, or under
Section 423 of the Code (or any successor rule or provision
or any other applicable law or regulation), Jabil shall obtain
stockholder approval of any amendment to the Stock Purchase Plan
in such a manner and to such a degree as required. Unless
terminated sooner, the Stock Purchase Plan will terminate on
October 17, 2011.
Federal Tax Information
The Stock Purchase Plan and the rights of participants to make
purchases under the Stock Purchase Plan are intended to qualify
under the provisions of Sections 421 and 423 of the Code.
Under these provisions, no income will be taxable to a
participant until the shares purchased under the Plan are sold
or otherwise disposed of. Upon sale or other disposition of the
shares of common stock, the participant will generally be
subject to tax, and the amount of the tax will depend upon the
holding period. If the shares of common stock are sold or
otherwise disposed of more than two years from the first day of
the offering period, the participant will recognize ordinary
income measured as the lesser of (a) the excess of the fair
market value of the shares of common stock at the time of such
sale or disposition over the purchase price, or (b) an
amount equal to 15% of the fair market value of the shares of
common stock as of the first day of the offering period. Any
additional gain will be treated as long-term capital gain. If
the shares of common stock are sold or otherwise disposed of
before the expiration of this holding period, the participant
will recognize ordinary income generally measured as the excess
of the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the
date the shares are purchased over the purchase price. Any
additional gain or loss on such sale or disposition will be
long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on the
holding period. Jabil is not entitled to a deduction for amounts
taxed as ordinary income or capital gain to a participant except
to the extent of ordinary income recognized by participants upon
a sale or disposition of shares of common stock prior to the
expiration of the holding period(s) described above. The
foregoing is only a summary of the effect of federal income
taxation upon the participant and Jabil with respect to the
shares of common stock purchased under the Stock Purchase Plan.
Reference should be made to the applicable provisions of the
Code. In addition, the summary does not discuss the tax
consequences of a participants death or the income tax
laws of any state or foreign country in which the participant
may reside.

PROPOSAL NO. 5
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has selected KPMG
LLP to audit the financial statements of Jabil for the fiscal
year ending August 31, 2006, and to perform other
appropriate services. KPMG LLP (or its predecessor firm) has
audited Jabils financial statements since the fiscal year
ended August 31, 1984. A representative of KPMG LLP is
expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have the
opportunity to make a statement and is expected to be available
to respond to appropriate questions.
AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
Jabil Circuit, Inc.s Audit Committee serves to assist
Jabils Board in fulfilling the oversight responsibilities
it has under the law with respect to financial reports and other
financial information provided by Jabil to the public,
Jabils systems of internal controls regarding finance and
accounting that management and the Board have established and
Jabils auditing, accounting and financial reporting
processes generally.
The Audit Committee is comprised solely of independent
directors, as defined in recently implemented, more stringent
listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, as well as
other statutory, regulatory and other requirements applicable to
Jabil.
The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by
the Board, a copy of which was attached as an Exhibit to the
Proxy Statement relating to Jabils 2004 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders. The Audit Committee annually reviews and assesses
the adequacy of its charter in order to insure early or timely
compliance with statutory, regulatory, listing and other
requirements applicable to Jabil.
Jabils management has primary responsibility for the
preparation, presentation and integrity of Jabils
financial statements and its financial reporting process.
Jabils independent registered public accountant, KPMG LLP,
is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of
Jabils audited financial statements to generally accepted
accounting principles. The Audit Committee members are not
professional accountants or auditors and their functions are not
intended to duplicate or to certify the activities of management
and the independent registered public accountant.
The Audit Committee has the authority and responsibility to
select, evaluate and, when appropriate, replace the independent
registered public accountant. The Audit Committee also has
periodic discussions with management and the independent
registered public accountant with regard to the quality and
adequacy of Jabils internal controls. Managements
and the independent registered public accountants
presentations to, and discussions with, the Audit Committee also
cover various topics and events that may have significant
financial impact or are the subject of discussions between
management and the independent registered public accountant.
In this context, the Audit Committee reports as follows:
|
|
|
1. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the
audited financial statements with Jabils management and
KPMG LLP. |
|
|
2. The Audit Committee has discussed with KPMG LLP the
matters required to be discussed by SAS 61 (Codification of
Statements on Auditing Standard, AU §380). |
|
|
3. The Audit Committee has received and reviewed the
written disclosures and the letter from KPMG LLP required by
Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence
Standards Board Standards No. 1, Independence Discussions
with Audit Committees) and has discussed with KPMG LLP its
independence from Jabil. |
24
|
|
|
4. Based on the review and discussion referred to in
paragraphs (1) through (3) above, the Audit
Committee recommended to Jabils Board, and the Board has
approved, that the audited financial statements be included in
Jabils Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended August 31, 2005, for filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee has also appointed KPMG
as Jabils independent registered public accountant for the
fiscal year ending August 31, 2006. |

All Other Fees. Jabil did not incur any additional fees
under this category.
Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit,
Audit-Related and Permissible Non-Audit Services of the
Independent Registered Public Accountants
The Audit Committees policy is to pre-approve all audit,
audit-related and permissible non-audit services provided by the
independent registered public accountants in order to assure
that the provision of such services does not impair the
auditors independence. These services may include audit
services, audit-related services, tax services and other
services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year
and any pre-
25
approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of
services and is generally subject to a specific budget.
Management is required to periodically report to the Audit
Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the
independent registered public accountants in accordance with
this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to
date. During fiscal year 2005, all services were pre-approved by
the Audit Committee in accordance with this policy.
Recommendation of the Board of Directors
If the stockholders do not approve the selection of KPMG LLP,
the appointment of the independent registered public accountants
will be reconsidered by the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE
FOR THIS PROPOSAL.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting
Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
requires Jabils officers and directors, and persons who
own more than ten percent of a registered class of Jabils
equity securities, to file initial reports of ownership on
Form 3 and changes in ownership on Form 4 or
Form 5 with the SEC. Such officers, directors and
ten-percent stockholders are also required by SEC rules to
furnish Jabil with copies of all such forms that they file.
Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received
by Jabil from certain reporting persons, Jabil believes that,
during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, all
Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its
officers, directors and ten percent stockholders were met,
except that Wesley B. Edwards failed to timely file one
Form 4 relating to one exercise of an employee stock
option. In addition, subsequent to fiscal year end, William D.
Morean filed, or amended, four Form 4s relating to previous
fiscal years, three relating to three separate gifts of shares
and one relating to sales of shares.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider
Participation
Jabils Compensation Committee was formed in November 1992
and is currently composed of Messrs. Lavitt, Newman and
Raymund. No member of the Compensation Committee is currently or
was formerly an officer or an employee of Jabil or its
subsidiaries. There are no compensation committee interlocks and
no insider participation in compensation decisions that are
required to be reported under the rules and regulations of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Option Grants in Last Fiscal Year
The following table sets forth information as to stock options
granted to all Named Officers during the fiscal year ended
August 31, 2005. These options were granted under our
existing equity compensation plans and, unless otherwise
indicated, provide for vesting as to 12% of the underlying
common stock six months after the date of grant, then
2% per month thereafter. Options were granted at an
exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of our
common stock on the date of grant. The amounts under
Potential Realizable Value at Assumed Annual Rate of Stock
Appreciation for Option Term represent the hypothetical
gains of the options granted based on assumed annual compound
stock appreciation rates of 5% and 10% over their exercise price
for the full ten-year term of the options. The assumed rates of
appreciation are mandated by the rules of the SEC and do not
represent our estimate or projection of future common stock
prices.

The closing price for Jabils common stock as reported
through the NYSE on August 31, 2005 was $29.44. Value
Realized is calculated on the basis of the difference
between the option exercise price and $29.44 multiplied by the
number of shares of common stock to which the exercise relates. |
|
(2) |
These values, unlike the amounts set forth in the column
entitled Value Realized, have not been, and may
never be, realized and are based on the positive spread between
the respective exercise prices of outstanding options and the
closing price of Jabils common stock on August 31,
2005, the last day of trading for fiscal 2005. |
Change in Control Arrangements
All options issued under Jabils 1992 Stock Option Plan and
the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan provide that, in the event of a
change in control of Jabil, any award outstanding under the 2002
Stock Incentive Plan on the date of such change in control that
is not yet vested will become fully vested on the earlier of
(i) the first anniversary of the date of such change in
control, if the grantees continuous status as an employee
or consultant of Jabil does not terminate prior to such
anniversary, or (ii) the date of termination of the
grantees
31
continuous status as an employee or consultant of Jabil as a
result of termination by Jabil or its successor without cause or
resignation by the grantee for good reason. However, an award
will not become fully vested due to a change in control if the
grantees continuous status as an employee or consultant
terminates as a result of termination by Jabil or its successor
for cause or resignation by the grantee without good reason.
The 2002 Stock Incentive Plan and the 1992 Stock Option Plan
provide that, in the event of a proposed dissolution or
liquidation of Jabil, all outstanding awards will terminate
immediately before the consummation of such proposed action. The
Board of Directors may, in the exercise of its sole discretion
in such instances, declare that any option awarded under the
2002 Stock Incentive Plan or the 1992 Stock Option Plan, or
stock appreciation right awarded under the 2002 Stock Incentive
Plan, will terminate as of a date fixed by the Board of
Directors and give each grantee the right to exercise his option
or stock appreciation right as to all or any part of the stock
covered by such award, including shares as to which the option
or stock appreciation right would not otherwise be exercisable.
In the event of a merger of Jabil with or into another
corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets of
Jabil, each outstanding option awarded under the 2002 Stock
Incentive Plan and the 1992 Stock Option Plan, and each stock
appreciation right awarded under the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan,
will be assumed or an equivalent option and stock appreciation
right will be substituted by the successor corporation, unless
otherwise determined by the Board of Directors in its
discretion. If such successor or purchaser refuses to assume or
provide a substitute for the outstanding options or stock
appreciation rights, the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan and the 1992
Stock Option Plan provide for the acceleration of the
exercisability and termination of all or some outstanding and
unexercisable options and stock appreciation rights, unless
otherwise determined by the Board of Directors in its
discretion. In the event of the acquisition by any person, other
than Jabil, of 50% or more of Jabils then outstanding
securities, unless otherwise determined by the Board of
Directors in its discretion, all outstanding options and stock
appreciation rights which are vested and exercisable shall be
terminated in exchange for a cash payment.
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
During 2005, Jabil was a party to an agreement with an entity
(Indigo) controlled by William D. Morean, a director
of Jabil, for Jabils use of Indigos aircraft for
Jabils business purposes. Under the lease, Jabil paid
market competitive hourly rental rates and certain ancillary
costs incurred while the aircraft was being used by Jabil, such
as fuel, oil, landing fees, etc. Jabil did not pay for
Mr. Moreans personal use of the aircraft. During the
fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, Jabil paid approximately
$74,000 for its use of Indigos aircraft. During 2005,
Jabil provided Mr. Morean limited personal use of
Jabils aircraft. Under applicable Federal Aviation
Administration Rules, Jabil was limited to charging
Mr. Morean, for such use, an amount equal to two-times the
cost of fuel for flights, plus certain related expenses such as
landing fees, tie down fees, etc., which totaled approximately
$64,000. Mr. Morean and Indigo also had an agreement with
Jabil at market competitive rates for the limited use of
Jabils flight crew to operate a non-Jabil aircraft for
non-Jabil use and for maintenance scheduling fees. During the
fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, Mr. Morean and
Indigo paid Jabil approximately $145,000 for such flight
crews services, maintenance scheduling and the cost of
pilot training attributable to Indigos aircraft. Jabil and
Indigo also insure their respective aircraft under a mutual
policy, which enabled Jabil to take advantage of a quantity
discount for aircraft insurance and pay less for its aircraft
insurance than it would pay without the Indigo aircraft on the
policy. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, Jabil
paid approximately $93,000 for the portion of the cost of the
policy attributable to Indigos aircraft, which was
subsequently reimbursed by Indigo. Apart from Jabils use
of Indigos aircraft and the other matters described above,
during fiscal year 2005 Mr. Morean used aircraft owned by
Jabil for personal use pursuant to the terms of a
time-share agreement.
During 2005, Thomas A. Sansone, a director of Jabil, had an
agreement with Jabil at market competitive rates for the limited
use of Jabils flight crew to operate a non-Jabil aircraft
for non-Jabil use. During the fiscal year ended August 31,
2005, Mr. Sansone paid Jabil approximately $72,000 for such
flight crews services.
Mr. Charles A. Main, a brother of Timothy L. Main, the
Chief Executive Officer, President and a director of Jabil, is
employed by Jabils Business Development division and
earned an aggregate compensation
32
of $224,632 during fiscal year 2005, which included base salary,
bonus, profit sharing, other routine employee benefits.
REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Committees Responsibilities: The
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the
Committee) has responsibility for setting and
administering the policies which govern executive compensation.
The Committee is composed entirely of outside directors. The
purpose of this report is to summarize the philosophical
principles, specific program objectives and other factors
considered by the Committee in reaching its determinations
regarding the compensation of Jabils executive officers.
Compensation Philosophy: The Committee has
approved principles for the management compensation program
which:
|
|
|
|
|
encourage the development and the achievement of strategic
objectives that enhance long-term stockholder value; |
|
|
|
attract, retain and motivate key personnel who contribute to
long-term success of Jabil; and |
|
|
|
provide a compensation package that recognizes individual
contributions and company performance. |
Compensation Methodology: Jabil strives to provide
a comprehensive executive compensation program that is
competitive and performance-based in order to attract and retain
superior executive talent. In making its recommendations to the
Committee, management reviews market data and assesses
Jabils competitive position for three components of
executive compensation: (1) base salary; (2) annual
incentives; and (3) long-term incentives. To assist in
benchmarking the competitiveness of its compensation programs,
Jabil uses Mercer Human Resource Consulting
(Mercer), a nationally recognized executive
compensation firm. Mercer utilizes a number of national
compensation surveys and provides databases for companies of
similar size to Jabil, as well as specific analysis of the
compensation information contained in the proxy statements of a
number of companies in the same industry as Jabil.
Components of Compensation:
|
|
|
|
|
Base Salary. Base salary for all executive officer
positions is targeted to be competitive with the average
salaries of comparable executives at technology companies of
similar size and is also intended to reflect consideration of an
officers experience, business judgment and role in
developing and implementing overall business strategy for Jabil.
It is the intent of the Committee that Jabils compensation
of executive officers fall within the median of industry
compensation levels. Base salaries are based upon qualitative
and subjective factors and no specific formula is applied to
determine the weight of each factor. |
|
|
|
Bonuses. Bonuses for executive officers are intended to
reflect Jabils belief that a significant portion of the
annual compensation of the executive should be contingent upon
the performance of Jabil, as well as the individuals
contribution. Bonuses are paid on an annual or quarterly basis
and are based solely on quantitative factors, including the
pre-tax profitability of Jabil, business development and
operational performance, earnings per share, returns on invested
capital and other measures of performance appropriate to the
officer compensated. |
|
|
|
Long-Term Incentives. Jabil utilizes stock options and
restricted stock awards as long-term incentives to attract and
retain key personnel or reward exceptional performance. Stock
options and restricted stock are granted periodically by the
Committee and are based on both qualitative and subjective
factors. Options are granted with an exercise price equal to the
fair market value of Jabils common stock on the last
market trading day prior to the date of determination
(determined in accordance with the option plan) and grants made
during the last fiscal year generally vest over a period of
50 months. Restricted stock grants generally vest in five
years. Both options and restricted stock may also be subject to
accelerated vesting on the achievement of certain
performance-based criteria. Option and |
33
|
|
|
|
|
restricted stock grants are designed to create an incentive to
increase stockholder value over the long-term since the value of
the grants will increase when the price of the stock increases. |
Chief Executive Officer and President
Compensation: In establishing the targeted amounts of
Mr. Mains base salary, bonus and equity-based
compensation, the Committee considered the findings contained in
the Mercer report regarding the average compensation of
comparable executives at technology companies of similar size.
In addition, when considering Mr. Mains base salary,
the Committee evaluated Mr. Mains contributions to
the Company in the areas of leadership; strategy development;
organizational development; governance; compliance; and
financial performance. Mr. Mains bonus opportunity
was predicated on the Company achieving targeted levels of core
operating income, return on invested capital and core operating
margins. Based on all of these considerations,
Mr. Mains compensation increased in fiscal year 2005.
IRS Limits on Deductibility of Compensation: An
income tax deduction under Section 162(m) of the Code, will
generally be available for annual compensation in excess of
$1 million paid to the Named Executives only if that
compensation is performance-based and complies with
certain other tax law requirements. Although the Committee
considers deductibility issues when approving executive
compensation elements, the Committee believes that the other
compensation objectives, such as attracting, retaining and
providing incentives to qualified managers, are important and
may supersede the goal of maintaining deductibility.
Consequently, the Committee may make compensation decisions
without regard to deductibility when it is in the best interests
of the Company and its shareholders to do so.

transactions contemplated under the Plan shall be structured to
satisfy the requirements for exemption under Section 162(m)
of the Code. |
|
|
(iv) Authorization of Officers to Grant
Options. In accordance with Applicable Law, the Board
may, by a resolution adopted by the Board, authorize one or more
Officers to designate Officers and Employees (excluding the
Officer so authorized) to be Grantees of Options and determine
the number of Options to be granted to such Officers and
Employees; provided, however, that the resolution adopted by the
Board so authorizing such Officer or Officers shall specify the
total number and the terms (including the exercise price, which
may include a formula by which such price may be determined) of
Options such Officer or Officers may so grant. |
(b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to
the provisions of the Plan, and in the case of a Committee or an
Officer, subject to the specific duties delegated by the Board
to such Committee or Committee, the Administrator shall have the

|
(i) to determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock,
in accordance with Section 2(u) of the Plan; |
|
|
(ii) to select the Consultants and Employees to whom Awards
will be granted under the Plan; |
|
|
(iii) to determine whether, when, to what extent and in
what types and amounts Awards are granted under the Plan; |
|
|
(iv) to determine the number of shares of Common Stock to
be covered by each Award granted under the Plan; |
|
|
(v) to determine the forms of Award Agreements, which need
not be the same for each grant or for each Grantee, and which
may be delivered electronically, for use under the Plan; |
|
|
(vi) to determine the terms and conditions, not
inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted
under the Plan. Such terms and conditions, which need not be the
same for each grant or for each Grantee, include, but are not
limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Options
and SARs may be exercised (which may be based on performance
criteria), the extent to which vesting is suspended during a
leave of absence, any vesting acceleration or waiver of
forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation
regarding any Award or the shares of Common Stock relating
thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator
shall determine; |
|
|
(vii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and
Awards; |
|
|
(viii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and
regulations relating to the Plan, including, without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, rules and regulations relating

the specific requirements of local and foreign laws and
procedures; |
|
|
(ix) to modify or amend each Award (subject to
Section 13 of the Plan). However, the Administrator may not
modify or amend any outstanding Option so as to specify a lower
exercise price or accept the surrender of an outstanding Option
and authorize the granting of a new Option with a lower exercise
price in substitution for such surrendered Option; |
|
|
(x) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the
Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Award
previously granted by the Administrator; |
|
|
(xi) to determine the terms and restrictions applicable to
Awards; |

with Applicable Law; |
|
|

respect to Employees who are also Officers or Directors subject
to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act; |
|
|
(xiv) to provide any notice or other communication required
or permitted by the Plan in either written or electronic
form; and |

The Administrators decisions, determinations and
interpretations shall be final and binding on all Grantees and
any other holders of Awards.
5. Eligibility and General
Conditions of Awards.
(a) Eligibility. Awards other than Incentive
Stock Options may be granted to Employees and Consultants.
Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. If
otherwise eligible, an Employee or Consultant who has been
granted an Award may be granted additional Awards.
(b) Maximum Term. Subject to the following
provision, the term during which an Award may be outstanding
shall not extend more than ten years after the Date of Grant,
and shall be subject to earlier termination as specified
elsewhere in the Plan or Award Agreement; provided, however,
that any deferral of a cash payment or of the delivery of Shares
that is permitted or required by the Administrator pursuant to
Section 10 of the Plan may, if so permitted or required by
the Administrator, extend more than ten years after the Date of
Grant of the Award to which the deferral relates.
(c) Award Agreement. To the extend not set
forth in the Plan, the terms and conditions of each Award, which
need not be the same for each grant or for each Grantee, shall
be set forth in an Award Agreement. The Administrator, in its
sole and absolute discretion, may require as a condition to any
Award Agreements effectiveness that the Award Agreement be
executed by the Grantee, including by electronic signature or
other electronic indication of acceptance, and that the Grantee
agree to such further terms and conditions as specified in the
Award Agreement.
(d) Termination of Employment or Consulting
Relationship. In the event that a Grantees
Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant terminates (other
than upon the Grantees death or Disability), then, unless
otherwise provided by the Award Agreement, and subject to
Section 11 of the Plan:
|
|
|
(i) the Grantee may exercise his or her unexercised Option
or SAR, but only within such period of time as is determined by
the Administrator, and only to the extent that the Grantee was
entitled to exercise it at the Date of Termination (but in no
event later than the expiration of the term of such Option or
SAR as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the case of an
Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator shall determine such
period of time (in no event to exceed three months from the Date
of Termination) when the Option is granted. If, at the Date of
Termination, the Grantee is not entitled to exercise his or her
entire Option or SAR, the Shares covered by the unexercisable
portion of the Option or SAR shall revert to the Plan. If, after
the Date of Termination, the Grantee does not exercise his or
her Option or SAR within the time specified by the
Administrator, the Option or SAR shall terminate, and the Shares
covered by such Option or SAR shall revert to the Plan. An Award
Agreement may also provide that if the exercise of an Option
following the Date of Termination would be prohibited at any
time because the issuance of Shares would violate Company policy
regarding compliance with Applicable Law, then the exercise
period shall terminate on the earlier of (A) the expiration
of the term of the Option set forth in Section 6(b) of the
Plan or (B) the expiration of a period of 10 days
after the Date of Termination during which the exercise of the
Option would not be in violation of such requirements; |
|
|
(ii) the Grantees Stock Awards, to the extent
forfeitable immediately before the Date of Termination, shall
thereupon automatically be forfeited; |
A-5
|
|
|
(iii) the Grantees Stock Awards that were not
forfeitable immediately before the Date of Termination shall
promptly be settled by delivery to the Grantee of a number of
unrestricted Shares equal to the aggregate number of the
Grantees vested Stock Awards; |
|
|
(iv) any Performance Shares or Performance Units with
respect to which the Performance Period has not ended as of the
Date of Termination shall terminate immediately upon the Date of
Termination. |
(e) Disability of Grantee. In the event that
a Grantees Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant
terminates as a result of the Grantees Disability, then,
unless otherwise provided by the Award Agreement:
|
|
|
(i) the Grantee may exercise his or her unexercised Option
or SAR at any time within 12 months from the Date of
Termination, but only to the extent that the Grantee was
entitled to exercise the Option or SAR at the Date of
Termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the
term of the Option or SAR as set forth in the Award Agreement).
If, at the Date of Termination, the Grantee is not entitled to
exercise his or her entire Option or SAR, the Shares covered by
the unexercisable portion of the Option or SAR shall revert to
the Plan. If, after the Date of Termination, the Grantee does
not exercise his or her Option or SAR within the time specified
herein, the Option or SAR shall terminate, and the Shares
covered by such Option or SAR shall revert to the Plan: |
|
|
(ii) the Grantees Stock Awards, to the extent
forfeitable immediately before the Date of Termination, shall
thereupon automatically be forfeited; |
|
|
(iii) the Grantees Stock Awards that were not
forfeitable immediately before the Date of Termination shall
promptly be settled by delivery to the Grantee of a number of
unrestricted Shares equal to the aggregate number of the
Grantees vested Stock Awards; |
|
|
(iv) any Performance Shares or Performance Units with
respect to which the Performance Period has not ended as of the
Date of Termination shall terminate immediately upon the Date of
Termination. |
(f) Death of Grantee. In the event of the
death of an Grantee, then, unless otherwise provided by the
Award Agreement:
|
|
|
(i) the Grantees unexercised Option or SAR may be
exercised at any time within 12 months following the date
of death (but in no event later than the expiration of the term
of such Option or SAR as set forth in the Award Agreement), by
the Grantees estate or by a person who acquired the right
to exercise the Option or SAR by bequest or inheritance, but
only to the extent that the Grantee was entitled to exercise the
Option or SAR at the date of death. If, at the time of death,
the Grantee was not entitled to exercise his or her entire
Option or SAR, the Shares covered by the unexercisable portion
of the Option or SAR shall immediately revert to the Plan. If,
after death, the Grantees estate or a person who acquired
the right to exercise the Option or SAR by bequest or
inheritance does not exercise the Option or SAR within the time
specified herein, the Option or SAR shall terminate, and the
Shares covered by such Option or SAR shall revert to the Plan; |
|
|
(ii) the Grantees Stock Awards, to the extent
forfeitable immediately before the date of death, shall
thereupon automatically be forfeited; |
|
|
(iii) the Grantees Stock Awards that were not
forfeitable immediately before the date of death shall promptly

who acquired the right to hold the Stock Grant by bequest or
inheritance, of a number of unrestricted Shares equal to the
aggregate number of the Grantees vested Stock Awards; |

|
(iv) any Performance Shares or Performance Units with
respect to which the Performance Period has not ended as of the

at any time offer to buy out, for a payment in cash or Shares,
an Award previously granted, based on such terms and conditions

Grantee at the time that such offer is made. Any such cash offer
made to an Officer or Director shall comply with the provisions
of Rule 16b-3 relating to cash settlement of stock
appreciation
A-6
rights. This provision is intended only to clarify the powers of
the Administrator and shall not in any way be deemed to create
any rights on the part of Grantees to buyout offers or payments.
(h) Nontransferability of Awards.
|
|
|
(i) Except as provided in Section 5(h)(iii) below,
each Award, and each right under any Award, shall be exercisable
only by the Grantee during the Grantees lifetime, or, if
permissible under Applicable Law, by the Grantees guardian
or legal representative. |
|
|
(ii) Except as provided in Section 5(h)(iii) below, no
Award (prior to the time, if applicable, Shares are issued in
respect of such Award), and no right under any Award, may be
assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise
transferred to encumbered by a Grantee otherwise than by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution (or in the case of Stock
Awards, to the Company) and any such purported assignment,
alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance
shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any
Subsidiary; provided, that the designation of a beneficiary
shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge,
attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance. |
|
|
(iii) To the extent and in the manner permitted by
Applicable Law, and to the extent and in the manner permitted by
the Administrator, and subject to such terms and conditions as

such entity. |
6. Stock Options.
(a) Limitations.
|
|
|
(i) Each Option shall be designated in the Award Agreement
as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock
Option. Any Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option: |
|
|
|
(A) shall not have an aggregate Fair Market Value
(determined for each Incentive Stock Option at the Date of
Grant) of Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options
are exercisable for the first time by the Grantee during any
calendar year (under the Plan and any other employee stock
option plan of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary
(Other Plans)), determined in accordance with the
provisions of Section 422 of the Code, that exceeds
$100,000 (the $100,000 Limit); |
|
|
(B) shall, if the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares
(determined on the Date of Grant) with respect to the portion of
such grant that is exercisable for the first time during any
calendar year (Current Grant) and all Incentive
Stock Options previously granted under the Plan and any Other |
A-7
|
|
|
Plans that are exercisable for the first time during a calendar
year (Prior Grants) would exceed the $100,000 Limit,
be exercisable as follows: |
|
|
|
(1) The portion of the Current Grant that would, when added
to any Prior Grants, be exercisable with respect to Shares that
would have an aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the
respective Date of Grant for such Options) in excess of the
$100,000 Limit shall, notwithstanding the terms of the Current
Grant, be exercisable for the first time by the Grantee in the
first subsequent calendar year or years in which it could be
exercisable for the first time by the Grantee when added to all
Prior Grants without exceeding the $100,000 Limit; and |
|
|
(2) If, viewed as of the date of the Current Grant, any
portion of a Current Grant could not be exercised under the
preceding provisions of this Section 6(a)(i)(B) during any
calendar year commencing with the calendar year in which it is
first exercisable through and including the last calendar year
in which it may by its terms be exercised, such portion of the
Current Grant shall not be an Incentive Stock Option, but shall
be exercisable as a separate Option at such date or dates as are
provided in the Current Grant. |
|
|
|
(ii) No Employee shall be granted, in any fiscal year of
the Company, Options to purchase more than
3,000,000 Shares. The limitation described in this
Section 6(a)(ii) shall be adjusted proportionately in
connection with any change in the Companys capitalization
as described in Section 11 of the Plan. If an Option is
canceled in the same fiscal year of the Company in which it was
granted (other than in connection with a transaction described
in Section 11 of the Plan), the canceled Option will be
counted against the limitation described in this
Section 6(a)(ii). |
(b) Term of Option. The term of each Option
shall be stated in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that
in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the term shall be
10 years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may
be provided in the Award Agreement. Moreover, in the case of an
Incentive Stock Option granted to a Grantee who, at the time the

such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth
in the Award Agreement. |
|
|
(B) An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a
Share. |
|
|
(C) An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company
receives: |
|
|
|
(1) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance
with the Award Agreement and any action taken by the
Administrator pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Plan or
otherwise) from the person entitled to exercise the
Option; and |
|
|
(2) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the
Option is exercised. Full payment may consist of any
consideration and method of payment authorized by the
Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan; |
|
|
(3) Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be
issued in the name of the Grantee or, if requested by the
Grantee, in the name of the Grantee and his or her spouse. Until
the stock certificate evidencing such Shares is issued (as
evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company
or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right
to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a
stockholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock,
notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall
issue (or cause to be issued) such stock certificate promptly
after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a
dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to
the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in
Section 11 of the Plan. |
A-9
|
|
|
(4) Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the
number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the
Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as
to which the Option is exercised. |
7. Stock Appreciation
Rights.
(a) Grant of SARs. Subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan, the Administrator may grant SARs in
tandem with an Option or alone and unrelated to an Option.
Tandem SARs shall expire no later than the expiration of the
underlying Option.
(b) Limitation. No Employee shall be granted,
in any fiscal year of the Company, SARs covering more than
3,000,000 Shares. The limitation described in this
Section 7(b) shall be adjusted proportionately in
connection with any change in the Companys capitalization
as described in Section 11 of the Plan. If a SAR is
canceled in the same fiscal year of the Company in which it was
granted (other than in connection with a transaction described
in Section 11 of the Plan), the canceled SAR will be
counted against the limitation described in this
Section 7(b).
(c) Exercise of SARs. SARs shall be exercised
by the delivery of a written or electronic notice of exercise to
the Company (in accordance with the Award Agreement and any
action taken by the Administrator pursuant to Section 4(b)
of the Plan or otherwise), setting forth the number of Shares
over which the SAR is to be exercised. Tandem SARs may be
exercised:
|
|
|
(i) with respect to all or part of the Shares subject to
the related Option upon the surrender of the right to exercise
the equivalent portion of the related Option; |
|
|
(ii) only with respect to the Shares for which its related
Option is then exercisable; and |
|
|
(iii) only when the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject
to the Option exceeds the exercise price of the Option. |
The value of the payment with respect to the tandem SAR may be
no more than 100 percent of the difference between the
exercise price of the underlying Option and the Fair Market
Value of the Shares subject to the underlying Option at the time
the tandem SAR is exercised.
(d) Payment of SAR Benefit. Upon exercise of
a SAR, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive payment from the
Company in an amount determined by multiplying:
|
|
|
(i) the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the
date of exercise over the SAR exercise price; by |
|
|
(ii) the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is
exercised; |
provided, that the Administrator may provide in the Award
Agreement that the benefit payable on exercise of an SAR shall
not exceed such percentage of the Fair Market Value of a Share
on the Date of Grant as the Administrator shall specify. As
determined by the Administrator, the payment upon exercise of an
SAR may be in cash, in Shares that have an aggregate Fair Market
Value (as of the date of exercise of the SAR) equal to the
amount of the payment, or in some combination thereof, as set
forth in the Award Agreement.
8. Stock Awards.
(a) Authorization to Grant Stock Awards.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the
Administrator may grant Stock Awards to Employees or Consultants
from time to time. Each Stock Award shall be evidenced by an
Award Agreement that shall set forth the conditions, if any,
which will need to be timely satisfied before the grant will be
effective and the conditions, if any, under which the
Grantees interest in the related Stock will be forfeited.
No more than 3,000,000 Shares may be granted pursuant to
Stock Awards to an individual Grantee in any calendar year.
(b) Code Section 162(m) Provisions.
|
|
|
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if the
Compensation Committee of the Board (the Compensation
Committee) determines at the time a Stock Award is granted
to a Grantee that |
A-10
|
|
|
such Grantee is, or may be as of the end of the tax year for
which the Company would claim a tax deduction in connection with
such Stock Award, a covered employee within the
meaning of Section 162(m)(3) of the Code, and to the extent
the Compensation Committee considers it desirable for
compensation delivered pursuant to such Stock Award to be
eligible to qualify for an exemption from the limit on tax
deductibility of compensation under Section 162(m) of the
Code, then the Compensation Committee may provide that this
Section 8(b) is applicable to such Stock Award under such
terms as the Compensation Committee shall determine. |
|
|

then the lapsing of restrictions thereon and the distribution of

performance targets that will be applied with respect to each
Stock Award subject to this Section 8(b) at the time of
grant, but in no event later than 90 days after the
commencement of the period of service to which the performance
target(s) relate. The performance criteria applicable to Stock

average of the S&P 500 Index or a peer group index;
(II) credit rating; (JJ) strategic plan development
and implementation; (KK) net cash provided by operating
activities; (LL) gross margin; (MM) economic value
added; (NN) customer satisfaction; (OO) financial
return ratios; (PP) market performance. |
|
|
(iii) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan,
the Compensation Committee may not increase the number of shares
granted pursuant to any Stock Award subject to this
Section 8(b), nor may it waive the achievement of any
performance target established pursuant to this
Section 8(b). |
|
|
(iv) Prior to the payment of any Stock Award subject to
this Section 8(b), the Compensation Committee shall certify
in writing that the performance target(s) applicable to such
Stock Award was met. |
|
|
(v) The Compensation Committee shall have the power to
impose such other restrictions on Stock Awards subject to this
Section 8(b) as it may deem necessary or appropriate to
ensure that such Stock Awards satisfy all requirements for
performance-based compensation within the meaning of
Code section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, the regulations
promulgated thereunder, and any successors thereto. |
9. Performance Units and
Performance Shares.
(a) Grant of Performance Units and Performance
Shares. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the
Administrator may grant Performance Units or Performance Shares
to any Employee or Consultant in such amounts and upon such
terms as the Administrator shall determine.
(b) Value/ Performance Goals. Each
Performance Unit shall have an initial value that is established
by the Administrator on the Date of Grant. Each Performance
Share shall have an initial value equal to the Fair Market Value
of a Share on the Date of Grant. The Administrator shall set
performance goals that, depending upon the extent to which they
are met, will determine the number or value of Performance Units
or Performance Shares that will be paid to the Grantee.
A-11
(c) Payment of Performance Units and Performance
Shares.
|
|
|
(i) Subject to the terms of the Plan, after the applicable
Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units or
Performance Shares shall be entitled to receive a payment based
on the number and value of Performance Units or Performance
Shares earned by the Grantee over the Performance Period,
determined as a function of the extent to which the
corresponding performance goals have been achieved. |
|
|
(ii) If a Grantee is promoted, demoted or transferred to a
different business unit of the Company during a Performance
Period, then, to the extent the Administrator determines
appropriate, the Administrator may adjust, change or eliminate
the performance goals or the applicable Performance Period as it
deems appropriate in order to make them appropriate and
comparable to the initial performance goals or Performance
Period. |
(d) Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Units
and Performance Shares. Payment of earned Performance
Units or Performance Shares shall be made in a lump sum
following the close of the applicable Performance Period. The
Administrator may pay earned Performance Units or Performance
Shares in cash or in Shares (or in a combination thereof) that
have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of the
earned Performance Units or Performance Shares at the close of
the applicable Performance Period. Such Shares may be granted
subject to any restrictions deemed appropriate by the
Administrator. The form of payout of such Awards shall be set
forth in the Award Agreement pertaining to the grant of the
Award.
10. Deferral of Receipt of
Payment. The Administrator may permit or require a
Grantee to defer receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery
of Shares that would otherwise be due by virtue of the exercise
of an Option or SAR, the grant of or the lapse or waiver of
restrictions with respect to Stock Awards or the satisfaction of
any requirements or goals with respect to Performance Units or
Performance Shares. If any such deferral is required or
permitted, the Administrator shall establish such rules and
procedures for such deferral.
11. Adjustments Upon Changes
in Capitalization or Change of Control.
(a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any
required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number
of Covered Shares, and the number of shares of Common Stock
which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to
which no Awards have yet been granted or which have been
returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an
Award, as well as the price per share of Covered Stock, shall be
proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the
number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock
split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or
reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or
decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected
without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided,
however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the
Company shall not be deemed to have been effected without
receipt of consideration. Such adjustment shall be made by
the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final,
binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no
issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or
securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall
affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with
respect to, the number or price of shares of Covered Stock.
(b) Change in Control. In the event of a
Change in Control, then the following provisions shall apply:
|
|
|
(i) Vesting. Any Award outstanding on the
date such Change in Control is determined to have occurred that
is not yet exercisable and vested on such date: |
|
|
|
(A) shall become fully exercisable and vested on the first
anniversary of the date of such Change in Control (the
Change in Control Anniversary) if the Grantees
Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant does not
terminate prior to the Change in Control Anniversary; |
|
|
(B) shall become fully exercisable and vested on the Date
of Termination if the Grantees Continuous Status as an
Employee or Consultant 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 |
A-12
|
|
|
(C) shall not become full exercisable and vested if the
Grantees Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant
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. |
For purposes of this Section 11(b)(i), the following
definitions shall apply:
|
|
|
(1) A Grantees conviction of a crime involving fraud
or dishonesty; or |
|
|
(2) A Grantees continued willful or reckless material
misconduct in the performance of the Grantees duties after
receipt of written notice from the Company concerning such
misconduct; |
|
|
|
provided, however, that for purposes of
Section 11(b)(i)(D)(2), 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). |
|
|
|
(1) The assignment to the Grantee of any duties
inconsistent in any respect with the Grantees position
(including status, titles and reporting requirement), authority,
duties or responsibilities, or any other action by the Company
that results in a 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 and that is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt
of written notice thereof given by the Grantee within
30 days following the assignment or other action by the
Company; |
|
|
(2) Any reduction in compensation; or |
|
|
(3) Change in location of office of more than 35 miles
without prior consent of the Grantee. |
|
|
|
(ii) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event
of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, to
the extent that an Award is outstanding, it will terminate
immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.
The Board may, in the exercise of its sole discretion in such
instances, declare that any Option or SAR shall terminate as of
a date fixed by the Board and give each Grantee the right to
exercise his or her Option or SAR as to all or any part of the
Covered Stock, including Shares as to which the Option or SAR
would not otherwise be exercisable. |
|
|
(iii) Merger or Asset Sale. Except as
otherwise determined by the Board, in its discretion, prior to
the occurrence of a merger of the Company with or into another
corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets of
the Company, in the event of such a merger or sale each
outstanding Option or SAR shall be assumed or an equivalent
option or right shall be substituted by the successor
corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor
corporation. In the event that the successor corporation or a
Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation does not agree
to assume the Option or SAR or to substitute an equivalent
option or right, the Administrator shall, in lieu of such
assumption or substitution, provide for the Grantee to have the
right to exercise the Option or SAR as to all or a portion of
the Covered Stock, including Shares as to which it would not
otherwise be exercisable. If the Administrator makes an Option
or SAR exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the
event of a merger or sale of assets, the Administrator shall
notify the Grantee that the Option or SAR shall be fully
exercisable for a period of 15 days from the date of such
notice, and the Option or SAR will terminate upon the expiration
of such period. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Option
or SAR shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or
sale of assets, the option or right confers the right to
purchase, for each Share of Covered Stock subject to the Option
or SAR immediately prior to the merger or sale of assets, the
consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or
property) received in the merger or sale of assets by holders of
Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the
transaction (and if holders were offered a |
A-13
|
|
|
choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the
holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided,
however, that if such consideration received in the merger or
sale of assets was not solely common stock of the successor
corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the
consent of the successor corporation and the participant,
provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise
of the Option or SAR, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject
to the Option or SAR, to be solely common stock of the successor
corporation or its Parent equal in Fair Market Value to the per
Share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the
merger or sale of assets. |
|
|
(iv) Except as otherwise determined by the Board, in its
discretion, prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control other
than the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, a merger of
the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of
substantially all of the assets of the Company, in the event of
such a Change in Control, all outstanding Options and SARs, to
the extent they are exercisable and vested (including Options
and SARs that shall become exercisable and vested pursuant to
Section 11(b)(i) above), shall be terminated in exchange
for a cash payment equal to the Change in Control Price (reduced
by the exercise price applicable to such Options or SARs). These
cash proceeds shall be paid to the Grantee or, in the event of
death of an Grantee prior to payment, to the estate of the
Grantee or to a person who acquired the right to exercise the
Option or SAR by bequest or inheritance. |
12. Term of Plan. The
Plan shall become effective upon its approval by the
stockholders of the Company within 12 months after the date
the Plan is adopted by the Board. Such stockholder approval
shall be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under
applicable federal and state law. The Plan shall continue in
effect until October 17, 2011, unless terminated earlier
under Section 13 of the Plan.
13. Amendment and Termination
of the Plan.
(a) Amendment and Termination. The Board may
at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.
(b) Stockholder Approval. The Company shall
obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent
necessary and desirable to comply with Rule 16b-3 or with
Section 422 of the Code (or any successor rule or statute
or other applicable law, rule or regulation, including the
requirements of any exchange or quotation system on which the
Common Stock is listed or quoted). Furthermore, the Company
shall obtain stockholder approval of any modification or
amendment of the Plan to the extent that the Board, in its sole
and absolute discretion, reasonably determines, in accordance
with the requirements of any exchange or quotation system on
which the Common Stock is listed or quoted, that such
modification or amendment constitutes a material revision or
material amendment of the Plan. Such stockholder approval, if
required, shall be obtained in such a manner and to such a
degree as is required by the applicable law, rule or regulation.
(c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No
amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan
shall impair the rights of any Grantee, unless mutually agreed
otherwise between the Grantee and the Administrator, which
agreement must be in writing and signed by the Grantee and the
Company.
14. Conditions Upon Issuance
of Shares.
(a) Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be
issued pursuant to an Award unless the exercise, if applicable,
of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall
comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without
limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange
Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,
Applicable Law, and the requirements of any stock exchange or
quotation system upon which the Shares may then be listed or
quoted, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel
for the Company with respect to such compliance.
(b) Investment Representations. As a
condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require
the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the
time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased
only for investment and without any present intention to sell or
distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the
Company, such a representation is required.
A-14
15. Liability of
Company.
(a) Inability to Obtain Authority. The
inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory
body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the
Companys counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance
and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of
any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such
Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been
obtained.
(b) Grants Exceeding Allotted Shares. If the
Covered Stock covered by an Award exceeds, as of the date of
grant, the number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan
without additional stockholder approval, such Award shall be
void with respect to such excess Covered Stock, unless
stockholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the
number of Shares subject to the Plan is timely obtained in
accordance with Section 13 of the Plan.
16. Reservation of
Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will
at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as
shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.
17. Rights of Employees and
Consultants. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall confer
upon an Grantee any right with respect to continuing the
Grantees employment or consulting relationship with the
Company, nor shall they interfere in any way with the
Grantees right or the Companys right to terminate
such employment or consulting relationship at any time, with or
without cause.
18. Sub-plans for Foreign
Subsidiaries. The Board may adopt sub-plans applicable
to particular foreign Subsidiaries. All Awards granted under
such sub-plans shall be treated as grants under the Plan. The
rules of such sub-plans may take precedence over other
provisions of the Plan, with the exception of Section 3,
but unless otherwise superseded by the terms of such sub-plan,
the provisions of the Plan shall govern the operation of such
sub-plan.

to be paid if the performance goal(s) are achieved. The Annual
Incentive Award, if any, for each Participant will be determined
as a percentage of the Participants Base Salary, or as the
sum of a percentage of the funds available for the payment of
such Annual Incentive Award and a percentage of the
Participants Base Salary up to a designated maximum
percentage of the Participants Base Salary. The maximum
Annual Incentive Award that may be awarded to a Participant for
a Fiscal Year shall be 300% of the Participants Base
Salary for such Fiscal Year.

if any, determined on the basis of the degree of achievement of

in shareowner value relative to the moving average of the
S&P 500 Index or a peer group index; (36) credit
rating; (37) strategic plan development and implementation;

ratios; (43) market performance.
The Committee may appropriately adjust any evaluation of
performance under the criteria set forth above to exclude
certain items or events or in such other manner and to such
extent as the Committee deems appropriate under the applicable
circumstances. The Committee shall, for each Fiscal Year,
establish the performance goal or goals from among the foregoing
to apply to each Participant and a formula or matrix prescribing
the extent to which such Participants annual incentive
award shall be earned based upon the achievement of such
performance goal or goals.
(c) Each Annual Incentive Award shall be based solely on
achievement of one or more of the applicable performance goals
as established by the Committee pursuant to Section 5(a)
above and the Committee shall not have the discretion to
increase the amount of the Annual Incentive Award. No Annual
Incentive Award shall be payable except upon written
certification by the Committee that the performance goals have
been satisfied to a particular extent and that any other
material terms and conditions precedent to payment of an Annual
Incentive Award have been satisfied.
(d) Payment of any Annual Incentive Award amount to be paid
to a Participant based upon the degree of attainment of the
applicable performance goals shall be made at such time(s) as
the Committee may in its discretion determine.
6. Discretionary Awards. The
Committee may grant a cash award to any Participant in such
amount and upon such terms and conditions as shall be determined
by the Committee in its discretion.
7. Participants
Interests. A Participants interest in any Awards shall
at all times be reflected on the Companys books as a
general unsecured and unfunded obligation of the Company subject
to the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Plan shall not give
any person any right or security interest in any asset of the
Company or any fund in which any deferred payment is deemed
invested. Neither the Company, the Board,
B-2
nor the Committee shall be responsible for the adequacy of the
general assets of the Company to discharge, or required to
reserve or set aside funds for, the payment of its obligations
hereunder.
8. Non-Alienation of Benefits;
Beneficiary Designation. All rights and benefits under the
Plan are personal to the Participant and neither the Plan nor
any right or interest of a Participant or any other person
arising under the Plan is subject to voluntary or involuntary
alienation, sale, transfer, or assignment. Subject to the
foregoing, the Company shall establish such procedures as it
deems necessary for a Participant to designate one or more
beneficiaries to whom any payment the Committee determines to
make would be payable in the event of the Participants
death.
9. Withholding for Taxes.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan, the Company
may withhold from any payment made by it under the Plan such
amount or amounts as may be required for purposes of complying
with any federal, state and local tax or withholding
requirements.
10. Rights of Employees.
Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the
right of the Company to terminate a Participants
employment at any time, or confer upon any Participant any right
to continued employment with the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates. A Participant 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 Participant,
adversely affects the ability of the Participant to satisfy a
performance goal or in any way prevents the satisfaction of a
performance goal.
11. Determinations Final.
Each determination provided for in the Plan shall be made by the
Committee under such procedures as may from time to time be
prescribed by the Committee and shall be made in the sole
discretion of the Committee. Any such determination shall be
conclusive.
12. Adjustment of Awards.
The Committee shall be authorized to make adjustments in the
method of calculating attainment of performance goals in
recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the
Corporation or its financial statements or changes in applicable
laws, regulations or accounting principles; provided, however,
that no such adjustment shall impair the rights of any
Participant without his consent and that any such adjustments
with respect to Annual Incentive Awards shall be made in a
manner consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code.
13. Amendment or
Termination. The Board may, in its sole discretion, amend,
suspend or terminate the Plan from time to time. No such
termination or amendment shall alter a Participants right
to receive a distribution as previously earned, as to which this
Plan shall remain in effect following its termination until all
such amounts have been paid, except as the Company may otherwise
determine.

4. Offering Periods.
The Plan shall be implemented by consecutive Offering Periods
until the Plan is terminated in accordance with Section 19
hereof. Subject to the requirements of Section 19, the
Board shall have the power to change the duration of Offering
Periods with respect to future offerings without stockholder
C-2
approval if such change is announced at 15 days prior to
the scheduled beginning of the first Offering Period to be
affected.
5. Participation.
(a) An eligible Employee may become a participant in the
Plan by completing a subscription agreement authorizing payroll
deductions in the form provided by the Company and filing it
with the Companys payroll office at least 10 business days
prior to the applicable Enrollment Date, unless a later time for
filing the subscription agreement is set by the Board for all
eligible Employees with respect to a given Offering Period.
(b) Payroll deductions for a participant shall commence on
the first payroll following the Enrollment Date and shall end on
the last payroll in the Offering Period to which such
authorization is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the
participant as provided in Section 10.
6. Payroll Deductions.
(a) At the time a participant files his or her subscription
agreement, he or she shall elect to have payroll deductions made
on each pay day during the Offering Period in an amount not
exceeding 10 percent of the Compensation which he or she
receives on each pay day during the Offering Period, and the
aggregate of such payroll deductions during the Offering Period
shall not exceed 10 percent of the participants
Compensation during said Offering Period.
(b) All payroll deductions made for a participant shall be
credited to his or her account under the Plan and will be with
held in whole percentages only. A participant may not make any

(c) A participant may discontinue his or her participation
in the Plan as provided in Section 10 hereof, or may
increase or decrease the rate of his or her payroll deductions
during the Offering Period by completing or filing with the
Company a new subscription agreement authorizing a change in
payroll reduction rate; provided, however, that a participant
may not change his or her rate of payroll deductions more than
once in a given Offering Period. The change in rate shall be
effective with the first full payroll period following five
business days after the Companys receipt of the new
subscription agreement unless the Company elects to process a
given change in participation more quickly. A participants
subscription agreement shall remain in effect for successive
Offering Periods unless terminated as provided in
Section 10.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary
to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and
Section 3(b) herein, a participants payroll
deductions may be decreased to zero percent at such time during
any Offering Period which is scheduled to end during the current
calendar year (the Current Offering Period) that the
aggregate of all payroll deductions which were previously used
to purchase stock under the Plan in a prior Offering Period
which ended during that calendar year plus all payroll
deductions accumulated with respect to the Current Offering
Period equal $25,000. Payroll deductions shall recommence at the
rate provided in such participants subscription agreement
at the beginning of the first Offering Period which is scheduled
to end in the following calendar year, unless terminated by the
participant as provided in Section 10.
(e) At the time the option is exercised, in whole or in
part, or at the time some or all of the Companys Common
Stock issued under the Plan is disposed of, the participant must
make adequate provision for the Companys federal, state,
foreign or other tax or social insurance withholding
obligations, if any, which arise upon the exercise of the option
or the disposition of the Common Stock. At any time, the Company
may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from the
participants compensation the amount necessary for the
Company to meet applicable withholding obligations, including
any withholding required to make available to the Company any
tax deductions or benefit attributable to sale or early
disposition of Common Stock by the Employee.
C-3
7. Grant of Option.
(a) On the Enrollment Date of each Offering Period, each
eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be
granted an option to purchase on each Exercise Date during such
Offering Period (at the applicable Purchase Price) up to a
number of shares of the Companys Common Stock determined
by dividing such Employees payroll deductions accumulated
prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the
Participants account as of the Exercise Date by the
applicable Purchase Price; provided that in no event shall an
Employee be permitted to purchase during each Offering Period
more than a number of shares determined by dividing $12,500 by
the fair market value of a share of the Companys Common
Stock on the Enrollment Date, and provided further that such
purchase shall be subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 3(b) and 12 hereof. Exercise of the option shall
occur as provided in Section 8, unless the participant has
withdrawn pursuant to Section 10, and shall expire on the
last day of the Offering Period.
(b) Options may be granted under the Plan from time to time
in substitution for stock options held by employees of another
corporation who become, or who became prior to the effective
date of the Plan, Employees of the Company or a Designated
Subsidiary as a result of a merger or consolidation of such
other corporation with the Company, or the acquisition by the
Company or a Designated Subsidiary of all or a portion of the
assets of such other corporation, or the acquisition by the
Company or a Designated Subsidiary of stock of such other
corporation with the result that such other corporation becomes
a Designated Subsidiary.
8. Exercise of
Option. Unless a participant withdraws from the Plan as
provided in Section 10 below, his or her option for the
purchase of shares will be exercised automatically on the
Exercise Date, and the maximum number of full shares subject to
option shall be purchased for such participant at the applicable
Purchase Price with the accumulated payroll deductions in his or
her account. No fractional shares will be purchased; any payroll
deductions accumulated in a participants account which are
not sufficient to purchase a full share shall be retained in the
participants account for the subsequent Offering Period,
subject to earlier withdrawal by the participant as provided in
Section 10. Any other monies left over in a
participants account after the Exercise Date shall be
returned to the participant. During a participants
lifetime, a participants option to purchase shares
hereunder is exercisable only by him or her.
9. Delivery. As
promptly as practicable after each Exercise Date on which a
purchase of shares occurs, the Company shall arrange the
delivery to each participant, as appropriate, of a certificate
representing the shares purchased upon exercise of his or her
option.
10. Withdrawal; Termination
of Employment.
(a) A participant may withdraw all but not less than all
the payroll deductions credited to his or her account and not
yet used to exercise his or her option under the Plan at any
time by giving written notice to the Company in the form
provided by the Company. All of the participants payroll
deductions credited to his or her account will be paid to such
participant promptly after receipt of notice of withdrawal and
such participants option for the Offering Period will be
automatically terminated, and no further payroll deductions for
the purchase of shares will be made during the Offering Period.
If a participant withdraws from an Offering Period, payroll
deductions will not resume at the beginning of the succeeding
Offering Period unless the participant delivers to the Company a
new subscription agreement.
(b) Upon a participants ceasing to be an Employee for
any reason or upon termination of a participants
employment relationship (as described in Section 2(g)), the
payroll deductions credited to such participants account
during the Offering Period but not yet used to exercise the
option will be returned to such participant or, in the case of
his or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto
under Section 14, and such participants option will
be automatically terminated.
(c) In the event an Employee fails to remain an Employee of
the Company for at least 20 hours per week during an
Offering Period in which the Employee is a participant, he or
she will be deemed to have
C-4
elected to withdraw from the Plan and the payroll deductions
credited to his or her account will be returned to such
participant and such participants option terminated.
(d) A participants withdrawal from an Offering Period
will not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to
participate in any similar plan which may hereafter be adopted
by the Company or in succeeding Offering Periods which commence
after the termination of the Offering Period from which the
participant withdraws.
11. Interest. No
interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions of a participant
in the Plan.
12. Stock.
(a) The maximum number of shares of the Companys
Common Stock that may be made available for sale under the Plan
since the Plan became effective is 4,000,000, which includes
shares that were available on November 28, 2005 for sale
plus the shares sold prior to November 28, 2005, subject to
adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the Company as
provided in Section 18. If on a given Exercise Date the
number of shares with respect to which options are to be
exercised exceeds the number of shares then available under the
Plan, the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares
remaining available for purchase in as uniform a manner as shall
be practicable and as it shall determine to be equitable.
(b) The participant will have no interest or voting right
in shares covered by his option until such option has been
exercised.
(c) Shares to be delivered to a participant under the Plan
will be registered in the name of the participant or in the name
of the participant and his or her spouse.
13. Administration.
(a) The Plan shall be administered by the Board of the
Company or a committee of members of the Board appointed by the
Board. The Board or its committee shall have full and exclusive
discretionary authority to construe, interpret and apply the
terms of the Plan, to determine eligibility and to adjudicate
all disputed claims filed under the Plan. Every finding,
decision and determination made by the Board or its committee
shall, to the full extent permitted by law, be final and binding
upon all parties. Members of the Board who are eligible
Employees are permitted to participate in the Plan, provided
that:
|
|
|
(1) Members of the Board who are eligible to participate in
the Plan may not vote on any matter affecting the administration
of the Plan or the grant of any option pursuant to the Plan. |
|
|
(2) If a Committee is established to administer the Plan,
no member of the Board who is eligible to participate in the
Plan may be a member of the Committee. |
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of
Subsection (a) of this Section 13, in the event
that Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), or any
successor provision (Rule 16b-3) provides
specific requirements for the administrators of plans of this
type, the Plan shall be only administered by such a body and in
such a manner as shall comply with the applicable requirements
of Rule 16b-3.
(c) The Board may adopt rules and procedures relating to
the operation and administration of the Plan to accommodate the
specific requirements of local laws and procedures. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board is
specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding
handling of payroll deductions, payment of interest, conversion
of local currency, payroll tax, withholding procedures and
handling of stock certificates which may vary with local
requirements. The Board may also adopt sub-plans applicable to
particular Subsidiaries, which sub-plans may be designed to be
outside the scope of Section 423 of the Code. The rules of
such sub-plans may take precedence over other provisions of this
Plan, with the exception of Section 12(a), but unless
otherwise superseded by the terms of such sub-plan, the
provisions of this Plan shall govern the operation of such
sub-plan.
C-5
14. Designation of
Beneficiary.
(a) A participant may file a written designation of a
beneficiary who is to receive any shares and cash, if any, from
the participants account under the Plan in the event of
such participants death subsequent to an Exercise Date on
which the option is exercised but prior to delivery to such
participant of such shares and cash. In addition, a participant
may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to
receive any cash from the participants account under the
Plan in the event of such participants death prior to
exercise of the option. If a participant is married and the
designated beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal consent shall
be required for such designation to be effective.
(b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the
participant at any time by written notice. In the event of the
death of a participant and in the absence of a beneficiary
validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of
such participants death, the Company shall deliver such
shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the
estate of the participant, or if no such executor or
administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the
Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such
shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more
dependents or relatives of the participant, or if no spouse,
dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such
other person as the Company may designate.
15. Transferability.
Neither payroll deductions credited to a participants
account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option
or to receive shares under the Plan may be assigned,
transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other
than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or as
provided in Section 14 hereof) by the participant. Any such
attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition
shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat such
act as an election to withdraw funds from an Offering Period in
accordance with Section 10.
16. Use of Funds. All
payroll deductions received or held by the Company under the
Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and
the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll
deductions.
17. Reports.
Individual accounts will be maintained for each participant in
the Plan. Statements of account will be given to participating
Employees at least annually, which statements will set forth the
amounts of payroll deductions, the Purchase Price, the number of
shares purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any.
18. Adjustments Upon Changes
in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger, Asset Sale or Change of
Control.
(a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any
required action by the stockholders of the Company, the Reserves
as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each
option under the Plan which has not yet been exercised, shall be
proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the
number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock
split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or
reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or
decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock effected
without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided,
however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the
Company shall not be deemed to have been effected without
receipt of consideration. Such adjustment shall be made by
the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final,
binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no
issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or
securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall
affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with
respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock
subject to an option.
(b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the
proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering
Period will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of
such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Board.
(c) Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a proposed
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company,
or the merger of the Company with or into another corporation,
each option under the Plan shall be assumed or an equivalent
option shall be substituted by such successor corporation or a
parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation, unless the
Board deter mines, in the exercise of its sole discretion and in
lieu of
C-6
such assumption or substitution, to shorten the Offering Period
then in progress by setting a new Exercise Date (the New
Exercise Date) or to cancel each outstanding right to
purchase and refund all sums collected from participants during
the Offering Period then in progress. If the Board shortens the
Offering Period then in progress in lieu of assumption or
substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the
Board shall notify each participant in writing, at least 10
business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise
Date for his option has been changed to the New Exercise Date
and that his option will be exercised automatically on the New
Exercise Date, unless prior to such date he has withdrawn from
the Offering Period as provided in Section 10. For purposes
of this Section, an option granted under the Plan shall be
deemed to be assumed if, following the sale of assets or merger,
the option confers the right to purchase, for each share of
option stock subject to the option immediately prior to the sale
of assets or merger, the consideration (whether stock, cash or
other securities or property) received in the sale of assets or
merger by holders of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock
held on the effective date of the transaction (and if such
holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of
consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock); provided, however, that if
such consideration received in the sale of assets or merger was
not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its
parent (as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code), the
Board may, with the consent of the successor corporation and the
participant, provide for the consideration to be received upon
exercise of the option to be solely common stock of the
successor corporation or its parent equal in fair market value
to the per share consideration received by holders of Common
Stock and the sale of assets or merger.
The Board may, if it so determines in the exercise of its sole
discretion, also make provision for adjusting the Reserves, as
well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each
outstanding option, in the event the Company effects one or more
reorganizations, recapitalization, rights offerings or other
increases or reductions of shares of its outstanding Common
Stock, and in the event of the Company being consolidated with
or merged into any other corporation.
19. Amendment or
Termination.
(a) The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time
and for any reason terminate or amend the Plan. Except as
provided in Section 18, no such termination can affect
