Universal ElectronicsANNUAL REPORT 2016CEO MESSAGE Dear Shareholders, Employees and Partners: Fifty years ago two friends from Michigan, James Golden and William Morean, recognized the electronics world was evolving in a big way and they wanted to take part and make a very real difference – and what a difference they made. The creative entrepreneurs formed a small technology company, which they named Jabil (born from the combination of their respective first names, James and Bill). What started as a true “garage shop” quickly grew to what today has become an $18 billion, state-of-the-art global manufacturing company, proudly employing more than 100,000 outstanding employees, across 40 million square feet of highly productive factory floor space. From the Morean family kitchen table to the Fortune 200... Wow, an incredible adventure for sure! What hasn’t changed through it all are Jabil’s foundational core values and principles: keeping our people safe, humility, intense customer care, respecting the environment, and an uncompromising focus on continuous improvement and cost management. Our 50-year celebratory milestone provides us the unique opportunity to thoughtfully reflect upon events and circumstances that illustrate Jabil’s sustained success and profound resiliency. A few facts pertaining to the past 50 years: Major technology and consumer brands have come and gone; PCs and mobile phones have changed the way in which we work and live; Fax machines were here and gone; Traditional voice communications have given way to texts, emails and social media; Big Data generation, storage and analytics have increased exponentially; Instant gratification, combined with infinite customization, are the new normal; and Cars are now autonomously driving themselves. Clearly, these are only a handful of examples – but the point is, despite all of these changes, Jabil has remained a consistent, reliable and trustworthy partner for so many of the world’s greatest brands, many of whom are at the forefront of change! As I sit and write this letter, I’m truly humbled. Humbled by Jabil’s incredible track record. Humbled to lead such an incredible Jabil team. Humbled to serve our shareholders and our customers with complete conviction and care. When I reflect on this past year, fiscal 2016 was in many ways the manifestation of our pedigree and upbringing. We began the year in strong fashion by posting record results in net revenue and core earnings per share during the first half of the year. Despite this strong start, fiscal 2016 ultimately proved to be a tale of two halves. Specifically, our Diversified Manufacturing Services (DMS) segment experienced a most difficult, heavily challenged second half of our fiscal year, as our mobility business faced unanticipated weakness in product demand. When I think about our team and what was asked of them, the words that come to mind are: “optimal responsiveness at scale.” We’re fortunate that this unique character trait was so alive-and-well as the team navigated their way through an arduous year in a most meticulous manner. Moving to our broad-based Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) segment – the team maintained tremendous momentum throughout the fiscal year, resulting in improved profitability year-on-year. This business has tremendous global reach and provides a stable and foundational backbone to the corporation. Putting it all together for the year, total company net revenue grew by 2.5 percent to $18.4 billion, while core operating income and core diluted earnings per share were $630 million and $1.86, respectively.* On a segment basis, our DMS revenue was approximately $7.3 billion, representing an increase of three percent year-over-year, and constituting 40 percent of total revenue for the corporation. Revenue from EMS was approximately $11 billion, representing an increase of two percent year-over-year, and constituting 60 percent of total revenue. Our cash generation, as measured by cash flows from operations, was strong at $916 million. This liquidity provided us the flexibility to invest in additional capacity; further expand our diverse capability portfolio; repurchase shares; and continue to pay our long-standing dividend. I’m pleased with our accomplishments during the past year and remain both excited and confident as we navigate our path forward – a path which I believe will result in long-term sustainability and appreciable expansion to our share price. I believe our Green Point business will play an instrumental role in our success with continued investments in material sciences and precision mechanics. In our EMS business segment, the team continues to assist customers as they navigate rapid change. We continue to evolve our service offerings to increase relevancy for the brands we serve, as they delegate more and more control of hardware content and capabilities to partners like Jabil. In June, we outlined a two-year capital return framework. Under this framework, we committed to return approximately 40 percent of cash flow from operations to shareholders, via dividends and share repurchases, through fiscal 2018, up to $1 billion. The balance of our capital will be thoughtfully directed towards initiatives and investments that drive new business opportunities where we believe we can generate an accelerated return on invested capital. Undoubtedly, Jabil has become a much larger, complex, global entity since James and Bill garnered the courage to enter the market and “start the ball rolling” in Michigan 50 years ago. Moving ahead, our goal is for Jabil to become the world’s most technologically advanced manufacturing solutions company – and do so while having fun and doing what’s right each and every day. I believe this goal is well within reach. I’d like to THANK our entire employee base for its unwavering dedication and commitment – they are simply the BEST!! While it’s impossible to envision the full range of products and services Jabil will offer and undertake during the next 50 years, I’m highly confident we’ll enjoy continued success and proudly deliver for our key constituents – our customers, our employees and our shareholders. As I look ahead, and consider the relative near-term time horizon, the Jabil team continues to extend our value proposition beyond core electronics. Yours Truly, Let me start with the three businesses within our DMS business segment. Our Healthcare and Packaging businesses are well-positioned as our aptitude and approach align solidly with positive market trends. Mark T.

A LOOK BACK James Golden and William E. Morean began building circuit boards on the kitchen table of the Morean home near Detroit, Michigan. Combining parts of their first names, they called their new venture JaBil Circuit. Jabil moved its headquarters to St. Petersburg, Florida, and was a first-mover in the investment of the newly developed Surface Mount Technology. This was a game-changer and would transform the electronics manufacturing industry. Bill Morean, son of the company’s founder, took ownership in 1979. Jabil used its first line of credit to buy automated insertion equipment and was awarded its largest piece of business to-date, a $15 million high-volume manufacturing contract with General Motors. 197019601980Jabil expanded into 17 additional countries in the 2000s and diversified into sectors like Instrumentation, Healthcare, Clean Tech and Defense & Aerospace. Our growth was also driven by acquisitions which expanded our capabilities in consumer electronics, medical hardware, optics and materials technology. Jabil expanded internationally into Scotland and then into Mexico, Malaysia and Italy. We added major customers like Cisco, HP and Quantum, building disk drives, ink jet printers and cell phone subassemblies. We also became a public company and joined the New York Stock Exchange in 1998. Jabil continues to increase global reach and capabilities via acquisitions into healthcare, consumer packaging, smart textiles, active alignment, engineering and advanced photonics. And we’re continuing to develop some of the world’s most cutting-edge technologies to position Jabil in an increasingly digital age. 201019902000TRENDS Jabil understands that companies are operating in a new reality that is moving at the speed of digital. “Ubiquitous” defines the expectation of today’s consumer. Constant access to limitless data and choices – and demand for needs to be fulfilled whenever, wherever, for whatever – are quickly becoming fundamental in the evolving digital economy. This ongoing digital transformation brings incredible potential. To be successful companies have to innovate faster and more consistently than ever before. They must reimagine themselves and create entirely new eco-systems and value chains, often linking the physical and digital worlds across products and services.

The industry experienced rapid change and growth through the 1990s as an increasing number of companies chose to outsource anincreasing portion, and, in some cases, all of their manufacturing. In mid-2001, the industry’s revenue declined as a result of significant cut-backs in customerproduction requirements, which was consistent with the overall downturn in the technology sector. In response to this downturn in the technology sector, weimplemented restructuring programs to reduce our cost structure and further align our manufacturing capacity with the geographic production demands of ourcustomers. Industry revenues generally began to stabilize in 2003 and companies began to turn more to outsourcing versus internal manufacturing. In addition, thenumber of industries serviced, as well as the market penetration in certain industries, by electronic manufacturing service providers has increased over the pastseveral years. In mid-2008, the industry’s revenue declined when a deteriorating macro-economic environment resulted in illiquidity in global credit markets and asignificant economic downturn in the North American, European and Asian markets. In response to this downturn, and the termination of our business relationshipwith BlackBerry Limited, we implemented additional restructuring programs, including the restructuring plans that were approved by our Board of Directors infiscal year 2014 (the “2014 Restructuring Plan”) and in fiscal year 2013 (the “2013 Restructuring Plan”), to reduce our cost structure and further align ourmanufacturing capacity with the geographic production demands of our customers.We continue to try to monitor the current economic environment and its potential impact on both the customers that we serve as well as our end-markets andclosely manage our costs and capital resources so that we can respond appropriately as circumstances continue to change. Over the longer term, however, webelieve the factors driving our customers and potential customers to utilize our industry’s services include: • Reduced Product Cost. Manufacturing service providers are often able to manufacture products at a reduced total cost to companies. These costadvantages result from higher utilization of capacity because of diversified product demand and, generally, a greater focus on elements ofmanufacturing cost. • Accelerated Product Time-to-Market and Time-to-Volume. Manufacturing service providers are often able to deliver accelerated production start-upsand achieve high efficiencies in transferring new products into production. Providers are also able to more rapidly scale production for changingmarkets and to position themselves in global locations that serve the leading world markets. With increasingly shorter product life cycles, these keyservices allow new products to be sold in the marketplace in an accelerated time frame. • Access to Advanced Design and Manufacturing Technologies. Customers gain access to additional advanced technologies in manufacturingprocesses, as well as product and production design. Product and production design services may offer customers significant improvements in theperformance, cost, time-to-market and manufacturability of their products. • Improved Inventory Management and Purchasing Power. Manufacturing service providers are often able to more efficiently manage bothprocurement and inventory, and have demonstrated proficiency in purchasing components at improved pricing due to the scale of their operations andcontinuous interaction with the materials marketplace. • Reduced Capital Investment in Manufacturing. Companies are increasingly seeking to lower their investment in inventory, facilities and equipmentused in manufacturing in order to allocate capital to other activities such as sales and marketing and research and development (“R&D”). This strategicshift in capital deployment has contributed to increased demand for and interest in outsourcing to external manufacturing service providers.Our StrategyWe are focused on expanding our position as one of the leading providers of worldwide electronic manufacturing services and solutions. To achieve thisobjective, we continue to pursue the following strategies: • Establish and Maintain Long-Term Customer Relationships. Our core strategy is to establish and maintain long-term relationships with leadingcompanies in expanding industries with size and growth characteristics that can benefit from highly automated, continuous flow manufacturing on aglobal scale. Over the past several years, we have made concentrated efforts to diversify our industry sectors and customer base. As a result of theseefforts, we have experienced business growth from existing customers and from new customers. Additionally, our acquisitions have contributed to ourbusiness growth. We focus on maintaining long-term relationships with our customers and seek to expand these relationships to include additionalproduct lines and services. In addition, we have a focused effort to identify and develop relationships with new customers who meet our profile. • Utilize Business Units. Most of our business units are dedicated to one customer and operate by primarily utilizing dedicated production equipment,production workers, supervisors, buyers, planners and engineers. We believe our customer centric business units promote increased responsiveness toour customers’ needs, particularly as a customer relationship grows to multiple production locations. 3Table of Contents • Expand Parallel Global Production. Our ability to produce the same product on a global scale is a significant requirement of our customers. Webelieve that parallel global production is a key strategy to reduce obsolescence risk and secure the lowest landed costs while simultaneously supplyingproducts of equivalent or comparable quality throughout the world. Consistent with this strategy, we have established or acquired operations inAustria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, The Netherlands,Poland, Russia, Scotland, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, Ukraine and Vietnam to increase our European, Asian and LatinAmerican presence. • Offer Systems Assembly, Direct-Order Fulfillment and Configure-to-Order Services. Our systems assembly, direct-order fulfillment and configure-to-order services allow our customers to reduce product cost and risk of product obsolescence by reducing total work-in-process and finished goodsinventory. These services are available at all of our manufacturing locations. • Offer Design Services. We offer a wide spectrum of value-add design services for products that we manufacture for our customers. We provide theseservices to enhance our relationships with current customers by allowing them the flexibility to utilize complementary design services to achieveimprovements in performance, cost, time-to-market and manufacturability, as well as to help develop relationships with new customers. • Pursue Selective Acquisition Opportunities. Traditionally, EMS companies have acquired manufacturing capacity from customers to drive growth,expand footprint and gain new customers. More recently, our acquisition strategy has expanded beyond focusing on acquisition opportunitiespresented by companies divesting internal manufacturing operations to include opportunities to acquire DMS and EMS competitors who are focusedon our key growth areas which include specialized manufacturing in key markets, materials technology, design operations and/or other acquisitionopportunities complementary to our services offerings. The primary goal of our acquisition strategy is to complement our current capabilities, diversifyour business into new industry sectors and with new customers and expand the scope of the services we can offer to our customers. As the scope of ouracquisition opportunities expands, the risks associated with our acquisitions expand as well, both in terms of the amount of risk we face and the scopeof such risks. See “Risk Factors – We have on occasion not achieved, and may not in the future achieve, expected profitability from our acquisitions.”Our Approach to ManufacturingIn order to achieve high levels of manufacturing performance, we have adopted the following approaches: • Business Units. Most of our business units are dedicated to one customer and are empowered to formulate strategies tailored to individual customerneeds. Most of our business units have dedicated production lines consisting of equipment, production workers, supervisors, buyers, planners andengineers. Under certain circumstances, a production line may include more than one business unit in order to maximize resource utilization. Businessunits have direct responsibility for manufacturing results and time-to-volume production, promoting a sense of individual commitment and ownership.The business unit approach is modular and enables us to grow incrementally without disrupting the operations of other business units. Business unitmanagement reviews the customer financial information in order to assess whether or not the business units are meeting their designatedresponsibilities and to ensure that the daily execution of manufacturing activities are being effectively managed. The business units aggregate intooperating segments based on the economic profiles of the services performed, including manufacturing capabilities, market share strategy, margins,return on capital and risk profiles. • Automated Continuous Flow. We use a highly automated, continuous flow approach where different pieces of equipment are joined directly or byconveyor to create an in-line assembly process. This process is in contrast to a batch approach, where individual pieces of assembly equipment areoperated as freestanding work-centers. The elimination of waiting time prior to sequential operations results in faster manufacturing, which improvesproduction efficiencies and quality control, and reduces inventory work-in-process. Continuous flow manufacturing provides cost reductions andquality improvement when applied to volume manufacturing. • Computer Integration. We support all aspects of our manufacturing activities with advanced computerized control and monitoring systems.Component inspection and vendor quality are monitored electronically in real-time. Materials planning, purchasing, stockroom and shop floor controlsystems are supported through a computerized Manufacturing Resource Planning system, providing customers with a continuous ability to monitormaterial availability and track work-in-process on a real-time basis. Manufacturing processes are supported by a real-time, computerized statisticalprocess control system, whereby customers can remotely access our computer systems to monitor real-time yields, inventory positions, work-in-process status and vendor quality data. See “Technology” and “Risk Factors – Any delay in the implementation of our information systems coulddisrupt our operations and cause unanticipated increases in our costs.” • Supply Chain Management. We make available an electronic commerce system/electronic data interchange and web-based tools for our customersand suppliers to implement a variety of supply chain management programs. Most of our customers utilize these tools to share demand and productforecasts and deliver purchase orders. We use these tools with most of our suppliers for just-in-time delivery, supplier-managed inventory andconsigned supplier-managed inventory. 4Table of ContentsOur Design ServicesWe offer a wide spectrum of value-add design services for products that we manufacture for our customers. We provide these services to enhance ourrelationships with current customers and to help develop relationships with our new customers. We offer the following design services: • Electronic Design. Our Electronic Design team provides electronic circuit design services, including application-specific integrated circuit design,firmware development and rapid prototyping services. These services have been used by our customers for a variety of products including smartphones and accessory products, notebook and personal computers, servers, radio frequency products, video set-top boxes, optical communicationsproducts, communication and broadband products, automotive and consumer appliance controls. • Industrial Design Services. Our Industrial Design team designs the “look and feel” of the plastic and metal enclosures that house the electro-mechanics, including the printed circuit board assemblies (“PCBA”). • Mechanical Design.

Our Computer-Assisted Design (“CAD”) team provides PCBA design services using advanced CAD engineering tools,PCBA design validation and verification services, and other consulting services, which include the generation of a bill of materials, approved vendorlist and assembly equipment configuration for a particular PCBA design. We believe that our CAD services result in PCBA designs that are optimizedfor manufacturability and cost efficiencies, and accelerate the product’s time-to-market and time-to-volume production. • Product Validation. Our Product Validation team provides complete product and process validation. This includes product system test, product safety,regulatory compliance and reliability test. • Manufacturing Test Solution Development. Our Manufacturing Test Solution Development team works as an integral function to the design team toembed design for testability and minimization of capital and resource investment for mass manufacturing. The use of software driven instrumentationand test process design and management has enhanced our customer product quality and less human dependent test processes. The full electronic testdata-log of customer products has allowed customer product test traceability and visibility throughout the manufacturing test process.Our teams are strategically staffed to support Jabil customers for all development projects, including turnkey system design and design for manufacturingactivities. See “Risk Factors – We may not be able to maintain our engineering, technological and manufacturing process expertise.”We are exposed to different or greater potential liabilities from our design services than those we face from our regular manufacturing services. See “RiskFactors – Our design services and turnkey solutions offerings may result in additional exposure to product liability, intellectual property infringement and otherclaims, in addition to the business risk of being unable to produce the revenues necessary to profit from these services.”Our Systems Assembly, Test, Direct-Order Fulfillment and Configure-to-Order ServicesWe offer systems assembly, test, direct-order fulfillment and configure-to-order services to our customers. Our systems assembly services extend our rangeof assembly activities to include assembly of higher-level sub-systems and systems incorporating multiple PCBAs. We maintain systems assembly capacity to meetthe demands of our customers. In addition, we provide testing services, based on quality assurance programs developed with our customers, of the PCBAs, sub-systems and systems products that we manufacture. Our quality assurance programs include circuit testing under various environmental conditions to try to ensurethat our products meet or exceed required customer specifications. We also offer direct-order fulfillment and configure-to-order services for delivery of finalproducts we assemble for our customers.TechnologyWe believe that our manufacturing and testing technologies are among the most advanced in the industry. Through our R&D efforts, we intend to continue tooffer our customers among the most advanced highly automated, continuous flow manufacturing process technologies for precise and aesthetic mechanicalcomponents and system assembly. These technologies include automation, electronic interconnection, advanced polymer and metal material science, automatedtooling, single/multi-shot injection molding, stamping, multi-axis Computer Numerical Control, spray painting, vacuum metallization, physical vapor deposition,digital printing, anodization, thermal-plastic composite formation, plastic with embedded electronics, in-mold labeling, metal cover with insert-molded or die-casting features for assembly, seamless display cover with integrated touch sensor, plastic cover with insert-molded glass lens and advanced testing solutions. Inaddition to our R&D activities, we are continuously making refinements to our existing manufacturing processes in connection with providing manufacturingservices to our customers. See “Risk Factors – We may not be able to maintain our engineering, technological and manufacturing process expertise.” 5Table of ContentsResearch and DevelopmentTo meet our customers’ increasingly sophisticated needs, we continuously engage in product research and design activities. These activities includeelectronic design, mechanical design, software design, system level design, material processing research (including plastics, metal, glass and ceramic), componentand product validation, as well as other design and process development related activities necessary to manufacture our customers’ products in the most cost-effective and consistent manner. We are engaged in advanced research and platform designs for products including: mobile internet devices and associatedaccessories, multi-media tablets, two-way radios, consumer lifestyles products, health care and life science products, server and storage products, set-top and digitalhome products, printing products and wearable technologies products. These activities focus on assisting our customers in product creation and manufacturingsolutions. For fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, we expended $32.0 million, $27.6 million and $28.6 million, respectively, on R&D activities.Financial Information about Business SegmentsWe derive revenue from providing comprehensive electronics design, production and product management services. Management evaluates performance andallocates resources on a segment basis. At August 31, 2016, our reportable operating segments consisted of two segments – EMS and DMS. See Note 13 –“Concentration of Risk and Segment Data” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.Customers and MarketingOur core strategy is to establish and maintain long-term relationships with leading companies in expanding industries with the size and growth characteristicsthat can benefit from highly automated, continuous flow manufacturing on a global scale. A small number of customers and significant industry sectors havehistorically comprised a major portion of our net revenue. The table below sets forth the respective portion of net revenue for the applicable period attributable toour customers who individually accounted for approximately 10% or more of our net revenue in any respective period: Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2016 2015 2014 Apple, Inc. 24% 24% 18% The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, revenue by segment expressed as a percentage of net revenue: Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2016 2015 2014 EMS 60% 60% 67% DMS 40% 40% 33% Total 100% 100% 100% In fiscal year 2016, our five largest customers accounted for approximately 49% of our net revenue and 85 customers accounted for approximately 90% ofour net revenue. We currently depend, and expect to continue to depend, upon a relatively small number of customers for a significant percentage of our netrevenue and upon their growth, viability and financial stability. See “Risk Factors – Because we depend on a limited number of customers, a reduction in sales toany one of those customers could cause a significant decline in our revenue,” “Risk Factors – Consolidation in industries that utilize our services may adverselyaffect our business” and Note 13 – “Concentration of Risk and Segment Data” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.We have made concentrated efforts to diversify our industry sectors and customer base, including but not limited to increasing our net revenue in the EMSand DMS segments through acquisitions and organic growth. Our Business Unit Managers and Directors, supported by executive management, work to expandexisting customer relationships through the addition of product lines and services. These individuals also identify and attempt to develop relationships with newcustomers who meet our profile. This profile includes financial stability, need for technology-driven turnkey manufacturing, anticipated unit volume and long-termrelationship stability. Unlike traditional sales managers, our Business Unit Managers and Directors are responsible for ongoing management of production for theircustomers.International OperationsA key element of our strategy is to provide localized production of global products for leading companies in the major consuming regions of the Americas,Europe, Asia and Africa. Consistent with this strategy, we have established or acquired operations in Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Finland, France,Germany, Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, The Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Scotland, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain,Taiwan, Ukraine and Vietnam. 6Table of ContentsOur European operations provide European and multinational customers with design and manufacturing services to satisfy their local market consumptionrequirements.Our Asian operations enable us to provide local design and manufacturing services and a more competitive cost structure in the Asian market; and serve as alow cost manufacturing source for new and existing customers in the global market.Our Latin American operations located in Mexico enable us to provide a low cost manufacturing source for new and existing customers principally in theU.S. marketplace. Our Latin American operations located in South America provide customers with manufacturing services to satisfy their local marketconsumption requirements.Our African operations, located in South Africa, provide energy consulting and monitoring services and products to telecommunication customersthroughout Africa.See “Risk Factors – We derive a substantial majority of our revenue from our international operations, which may be subject to a number of risks and oftenrequire more management time and expense to achieve profitability than our domestic operations” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of FinancialCondition and Results of Operations.”CompetitionOur business is highly competitive. We compete against numerous domestic and foreign electronic manufacturing service providers and designproviders, including Benchmark Electronics, Inc., Celestica Inc., Flextronics International Ltd., Hon-Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd., Plexus Corp. and SanminaCorporation. Our diversified manufacturing services segment competes against numerous domestic and foreign providers, including AptarGroup, Inc., BerryPlastics Group, Inc., Catcher Technology Co., Ltd., Gerresheimer AG, Quanta Computer, Inc. and Zeniya Aluminum Engineering, Ltd. In addition, pastconsolidation in our industry has resulted in larger and more geographically diverse competitors who have significant combined resources with which to competeagainst us. Also, we may in the future encounter competition from other large electronic manufacturers, and manufacturers that are focused solely on design andmanufacturing services, that are selling, or may begin to sell electronic manufacturing services. Most of our competitors have international operations andsignificant financial resources and some have substantially greater manufacturing, R&D and marketing resources than we have.We also face competition from the manufacturing operations of our current and potential customers, who are continually evaluating the merits ofmanufacturing products internally against the advantages of outsourcing. In the past, some of our customers moved a portion of their manufacturing from us inorder to more fully utilize their excess internal manufacturing capacity.We may be operating at a cost disadvantage compared to competitors who (a) have greater direct buying power from component suppliers, distributors andraw material suppliers, (b) have lower cost structures as a result of their geographic location or the services they provide, (c) are willing to make sales or provideservices at lower margins than we do (including relationships where our competitors are willing to accept a lower margin from certain of their customers for whomthey perform other higher margin business) or (d) have increased their vertical capabilities, thereby potentially providing them greater cost savings. As a result,competitors may procure a competitive advantage and obtain business from our customers. Our manufacturing processes are generally not subject to significantproprietary protection. In addition, companies with greater resources or a greater market presence may enter our market or increase their competition with us. Wealso expect our competitors to continue to improve the performance of their current products or services, to reduce the sales prices of their current products orservices and to introduce new products or services that may offer greater performance and improved pricing. Any of these developments could cause a decline inour sales, loss of market acceptance of our products or services, compression of our profits or loss of our market share. See “Risk Factors – We compete withnumerous other diversified manufacturing service providers, electronic manufacturing services and design providers and others.”BacklogOur order backlog at August 31, 2016 and 2015 was valued at approximately $4.5 billion and $5.0 billion, respectively. Our order backlog is expected to befilled within the current fiscal year. Although our backlog consists of firm purchase orders, the level of backlog at any particular time may not be necessarilyindicative of future sales. Given the nature of our relationships with our customers, we frequently allow our customers to cancel or reschedule deliveries, andtherefore, backlog is often not a meaningful indicator of future financial results. Although we may seek to negotiate fees to cover the costs of such cancellations orrescheduling, we may not always be successful in such negotiations. See “Risk Factors – Most of our customers do not commit to long-term production schedules,or they may cancel their orders, change production quantities, delay production or change their sourcing strategy which makes it difficult for us to scheduleproduction and capital expenditures, and to maximize the efficiency of our manufacturing capacity.” 7Table of ContentsSeasonalityProduction levels for a portion of the DMS segment are subject to seasonal influences. We may realize greater net revenue during our first fiscal quarter dueto higher demand for consumer related products manufactured in the DMS segment during the holiday selling season.Components ProcurementWe procure components from a broad group of suppliers, determined on an assembly-by-assembly basis. Almost all of the products we manufacture requireone or more components that are only available from a single source. Some of these components are allocated from time to time in response to supply shortages. Insome cases, supply shortages will substantially curtail production of all assemblies using a particular component. A supply shortage can also increase our cost ofgoods sold, as a result of our having to pay higher prices for components in limited supply, and cause us to have to redesign or reconfigure products toaccommodate a substitute component. In the past there have been industry wide conditions, natural disasters and global events that have caused materialshortages. Such circumstances have produced insignificant levels of short-term interruption of our operations, but they could have a material adverse effect on ourresults of operations in the future. Our production of a customer’s product could be negatively impacted by any quality, reliability or availability issues with any ofour component suppliers. The financial condition of our suppliers could affect their ability to supply us with components and their ability to satisfy any warrantyobligations they may have, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations. See “Risk Factors – We depend on a limited number of suppliers forcomponents that are critical to our manufacturing processes. A shortage of these components or an increase in their price could interrupt our operations and reduceour profit, increase our inventory carrying costs, increase our risk of exposure to inventory obsolescence and cause us to purchase components of a lesser quality.”Proprietary RightsWe regard certain aspects of our design, production and product services as proprietary intellectual property. To protect our proprietary rights, we relylargely upon a combination of intellectual property laws, non-disclosure agreements with our customers, employees, and suppliers and our internal securitysystems, policies and procedures. Although we take steps to protect our intellectual property, misappropriation may still occur. We have not historically soughtpatent protection for many of our proprietary processes, designs or other patentable intellectual property. We currently have a relatively modest number of solelyowned and/or jointly held patents for various innovations. We believe that our research and design activities, along with developments relating thereto, may resultin growth of our patent portfolio and its importance to us, particularly as we expand our business activities. Other factors significant to our proprietary rightsinclude the knowledge and experience of our management and personnel and our ability to develop, enhance and market manufacturing services.We license some technology and intellectual property rights from third parties that we use in providing some of our design, production and productmanagement services to our customers. Generally, the license agreements which govern such third party technology and intellectual property rights grant us theright to use the subject technology anywhere in the world and will terminate upon a material breach by us. In the event of termination, we may not be successful indeveloping alternatives.We do not believe that our designs, production and product management services infringe on the proprietary rights of third parties. However, if third partiessuccessfully assert infringement claims against us with respect to past, current or future designs or processes, we could be required to enter into an expensiveroyalty arrangement, develop non-infringing designs or processes, discontinue use of the infringing design or processes, or engage in costly litigation. See “RiskFactors – We may not be able to maintain our engineering, technological and manufacturing process expertise,” “Risk Factors - Our manufacturing processes andservices may result in exposure to intellectual property infringement and other claims,” “Risk Factors - The success of certain aspects of our business depends inpart on our ability to obtain, protect and leverage intellectual property rights” and “Risk Factors - Intellectual property infringement claims against our customers,our suppliers or us could harm our business.”EmployeesAs of August 31, 2016, we employed approximately 138,000 people worldwide. None of our U.S. domestic employees are represented by a labor union. Incertain international locations, our employees are represented by labor unions and by works councils. We have never experienced a significant work stoppage orstrike and we believe that our employee relations are good.Geographic InformationThe information regarding net revenue and long-lived assets set forth in Note 13 – “Concentration of Risk and Segment Data” to the Consolidated FinancialStatements, is hereby incorporated by reference into this Part I, Item 1. Each of our segments is dependent on foreign operations. 8Table of ContentsEnvironmentalWe are subject to a variety of federal, state, local and foreign environmental, health and safety, product stewardship and producer responsibility laws andregulations, including those relating to the use, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous chemicals used during our manufacturing process, those governingworker health and safety, those requiring design changes, supply chain investigation or conformity assessments or those relating to the recycling or reuse ofproducts we manufacture. If we fail to comply with any present or future regulations, we could become subject to liabilities, and we could face fines or penalties,the suspension of production, or prohibitions on sales of products we manufacture. In addition, such regulations could restrict our ability to expand our facilities orcould require us to acquire costly equipment, or to incur other significant expenses, including expenses associated with the recall of any non-compliant product orwith changes in our operational, procurement and inventory management activities. See “Risk Factors – Compliance or the failure to comply with current andfuture environmental, health and safety, product stewardship and producer responsibility laws or regulations could cause us significant expense.”Executive Officers of the RegistrantExecutive officers are appointed by the Board of Directors and serve at the discretion of the Board.

The following important factors, among others, as well as those factors set forth in our other Securities and ExchangeCommission (“SEC”) filings from time to time, could affect future results and events, causing results and events to differ materially from those expressed orimplied in our forward-looking statements.Our operating results may fluctuate due to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control.Our annual and quarterly operating results are affected by a number of factors, including: • adverse changes in current macro-economic conditions, both in the U.S. and internationally; • how well we execute on our strategy and operating plans, and the impact of changes in our business model; • the level and timing of customer orders; • the level of capacity utilization of our manufacturing facilities and associated fixed costs, including instances where we maintain manufacturingfacilities and associated fixed costs in anticipation of future customer orders and the actual orders never occur, are at lower than anticipated levelsand/or occur later than expected; • the composition of the costs of revenue between materials, labor and manufacturing overhead; • price competition; • changes in demand for our products or services, as well as the volatility of these changes; • changes in demand in our customers’ end markets, as well as the volatility of these changes; • our exposure to financially troubled customers; • any potential future termination, or substantial winding down, of significant customer relationships; • our level of experience in manufacturing particular products; • the degree of automation used in our assembly process; • the efficiencies achieved in managing inventories and property, plant and equipment; • significant costs incurred in acquisitions and other transactions that are immediately expensed in the quarter in which they occur; • fluctuations in materials costs and availability of materials; • adverse changes in political conditions, both in the U.S. and internationally, including among other things, adverse changes in tax laws and rates (andgovernment interpretations thereof), adverse changes in trade policies and adverse changes in fiscal and monetary policies; • seasonality in customers’ product demand; • the timing of expenditures in anticipation of increased sales, customer product delivery requirements and shortages of components or labor; • changes in stock-based compensation expense due to changes in the expected vesting of performance-based equity awards comprising a portion ofsuch stock-based compensation expense; and • failure to comply with foreign laws, which could result in increased costs and/or taxes.The volume and timing of orders placed by our customers vary due to variation in demand for our customers’ products; our customers’ attempts to managetheir inventory; product design changes; changes in our customers’ manufacturing strategies; customer requirements to relocate our manufacturing operations or totransfer our manufacturing from one facility to another; and acquisitions of or consolidations among our customers. In addition, our sales associated with consumerrelated products are subject to seasonal influences. We may realize greater revenue during our first fiscal quarter due to higher demand for consumer relatedproducts during 11Table of Contentsthe holiday selling season. In the past, changes in customer orders that reduce net revenue have had a significant effect on our results of operations as a result of ouroverhead remaining relatively fixed while our net revenue decreased. Any one or a combination of these factors could adversely affect our annual and quarterlyresults of operations in the future. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Results of Operations.”When financial markets experience significant turmoil, the financial arrangements we may need to enter into, refinance or repay may be adverselyaffected.Credit market turmoil could negatively impact the counterparties and lenders to our forward foreign exchange contracts, trade accounts receivablesecuritization and sale programs, unsecured credit and term loan facilities, and various foreign subsidiary credit facilities. These potential negative impacts couldpotentially limit our ability to borrow under these financing agreements, contracts, facilities and programs. If we do not comply with the covenants under variousdebt instruments, our ability to borrow would be adversely affected. In addition, the effects of the credit market turmoil could negatively impact our ability torenew or obtain future additional financing. Credit market turmoil has also negatively impacted certain of our customers and certain of their respective customers.These impacts could have several consequences which could have a negative effect on our results of operations, including one or more of the following: a negativeimpact on our liquidity, including potentially insufficient cash flows to support our operations; a decrease in demand for our services; a decrease in demand for ourcustomers’ products; and bad debt charges or inventory write-offs.If we do not manage our growth effectively, our profitability could decline.Areas of our business at times experience periods of rapid growth which can place considerable additional demands upon our management team and ouroperational, financial and management information systems. Our ability to manage growth effectively requires us to continue to implement and improve thesesystems; avoid cost overruns; maintain customer, supplier and other favorable business relationships during possible transition periods; efficiently and effectivelydedicate resources to existing customers; acquire or construct additional facilities; occasionally transfer operations to different facilities; acquire equipment inanticipation of demand; continue to develop the management skills of our managers and supervisors; adapt relatively quickly to new markets or technologies andcontinue to train, motivate and manage our employees. Our failure to effectively manage growth, as well as our failure to realize the anticipated benefits of theactions we take to try to manage our growth, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis ofFinancial Condition and Results of Operations.”Because we depend on a limited number of customers, a reduction in sales to any one of those customers could cause a significant decline in our revenue.We currently depend, and expect to continue to depend, upon a relatively small number of customers for a significant percentage of our net revenue and upontheir growth, viability and financial stability. We have recently experienced increased dependence and expect this dependence to continue. During the fiscal yearended August 31, 2016, our five largest customers accounted for approximately 49% of our net revenue. In some instances, particular manufacturing services weprovide for such customers represent a significant portion of the overall revenue we receive from that customer. Consolidation among our customers exposes us toincreased risks relating to dependence on a smaller number of customers. These circumstances could each have a material adverse effect on our results ofoperations.A customer may reduce its purchases from us, terminate its relationship with us, or postpone spending in response to circumstances such as a decline indemand for one or more of its products, which has recently occurred and impacted our performance this fiscal year, or if it experiences tighter credit, negativefinancial news, or declines in income or asset values. These conditions may negatively impact our results of operations. We cannot assure you that present or futurecustomers will not terminate their design, production and product management services arrangements with us or significantly change, reduce or delay the amountof services ordered from us. If they do, such termination, change, reduction or delay could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, ifone or more of our customers were to become insolvent or otherwise were unable to pay for the services provided by us on a timely basis, or at all, our operatingresults and financial condition could be adversely affected. Also, our operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected by the potential recoveryby the bankruptcy estate of amounts previously paid to us by a customer that later became insolvent. Such adverse effects could include one or more of thefollowing: a decline in revenue, less revenue to absorb fixed costs and overhead, a charge for bad debts, severance costs, a charge for inventory write-offs, a chargefor equipment write-offs, a charge for lease write-offs, a decrease in inventory turns, an increase in days that products remain in inventory and an increase in daysin which accounts receivable remain outstanding. Some of the risks described above may not only exist with respect to a particular customer, but also with respectto manufacturing services with respect to a particular customer product for larger customers where a significant portion of the overall revenue we receive from suchcustomer relates to such services for such product. Accordingly, if any of our customers’ products experiences a decline in demand (anticipated or unanticipated),which has recently occurred and impacted our second, third and fourth fiscal quarters, the applicable customer may reduce its purchases from us or terminate itsrelationship with us. This could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. 12Table of ContentsOur customers face numerous competitive challenges, such as decreasing demand from their customers, rapid technological change and short life cyclesfor their products, which may materially adversely affect their business, and also ours.Factors affecting the industries that utilize our services in general, and our customers specifically, could seriously harm our customers and, as a result, us.These factors include: • recessionary periods in our customers’ markets, as well as in the global economy in general; • the inability of our customers to adapt to rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards, which may contribute to short product lifecycles or shifts in our customers’ strategies; • the inability of our customers to develop and market their products, some of which are new and untested; • the potential that our customers’ products become commoditized or obsolete; • the failure of our customers’ products to gain widespread commercial acceptance; • increased competition among our customers and their respective competitors which may result in a loss of business or a reduction in pricing power forour customers; • consolidation; • the emergence of new business models and shifting patterns of demand; and • new product offerings by our customers’ competitors may prove to be more successful than our customers’ product offerings.Our Diversified Manufacturing Services (“DMS”) segment is highly dependent on the consumer products industry. This business is very competitive (bothfor us and our customers) and often subject to shorter product lifecycles, shifting end-user preferences, higher revenue volatility and programs that may be shiftedto our competitors. We may experience a negative impact on our customer orders thus reducing net revenue and our ability to cover fixed costs. These risksheighten our exposure to this end market which could adversely affect our results of operations. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016, we experienced lessthan anticipated product demand within our DMS segment, which impacted our second, third and fourth fiscal quarters.If our customers are unsuccessful in addressing these competitive challenges, their business may be materially adversely affected, reducing the demand forour services or altering our production cycles and inventory management which could adversely affect our results of operations.Most of our customers do not commit to long-term production schedules, or they may cancel their orders, change production quantities, delay productionor change their sourcing strategy which makes it difficult for us to schedule production and capital expenditures, and to maximize the efficiency of ourmanufacturing capacity.Most of our customers do not commit to firm production schedules for more than one quarter. We make significant decisions, including determining thelevels of business that we will seek and accept, production schedules, component procurement commitments, personnel needs and other resource requirements,based on our estimate of customer requirements for one or more of their products. Our inability to forecast the level of customer orders with certainty makes itdifficult to schedule production and maximize utilization of our manufacturing capacity. In the past, we have been required to increase staffing and other expensesin order to meet the anticipated demand. On occasion, customers may require rapid increases in production for one or more of their products, which can stress ourresources and reduce operating margins. Alternatively, anticipated orders have, in the past, failed to materialize, delivery schedules have been deferred orproduction has unexpectedly decreased, slowed down or stopped as a result of changes in our customers’ business needs, thereby adversely affecting our results ofoperations. Such customer order fluctuations and deferrals have had a material adverse effect on us in the past and we may experience such effects in the future. Inaddition, because many of our costs and operating expenses are relatively fixed, a reduction in customer demand, particularly a reduction in demand for anyparticular customer product that represents a significant amount of our revenue, can harm our gross profit and operating results. See “Management’s Discussionand Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”We sometimes experience difficulty forecasting the timing of our receipt of revenue and earnings following commencement of providing manufacturingservices. The necessary process to begin this commencement of manufacturing can take from several months to more than a year before production begins. Delaysin the completion of this process can delay the timing of our sales and related earnings. Because we make capital expenditures during this ramping process and donot typically recognize revenue until after we produce and ship the customer’s products, any delays or unanticipated costs in the ramping process may have asignificant adverse effect on our cash flows and our results of operations, particularly when our contractual or legal remedies are insufficient to avoid or mitigatesuch unanticipated costs which can be exacerbated with large customers. An increasing portion of our revenues have come from our largest customer, and servicingthat customer requires an increased level of capital expenditures by us.We generally do not obtain firm, long-term purchase commitments from our customers for any of their products and we continue to experience reduced lead-times in customer orders. The success of one or more of our customers’ products in the market affects our business. Customers have canceled their orders, changedproduction quantities, delayed production and changed their sourcing strategy. Such changes, delays and cancellations have led to, and may lead in the future to adecline in our production and our 13Table of Contentspossession of excess or obsolete inventory that we may not be able to sell to customers or third parties. This has resulted in, and could result in, future additionalwrite downs of inventories that have become obsolete or exceed anticipated demand or net realizable value. We may also experience a reduction in the number ofproducts that we sell, delays in payment for inventory that we purchased and reductions in the use of our manufacturing facilities which have associated fixed costsnot dependent on our level of revenue. Although we attempt to negotiate contractual language with our customers to avoid or mitigate these risks, they may beexacerbated when the inventory is for a specific product that represents a significant amount of our revenue.Customer relationships with emerging companies may present more risks than with established companies.Customer relationships with emerging companies, an area of increasing activity for us, present special risks because such companies do not have anextensive product history. As a result, there is less demonstration of market acceptance of their products making it harder for us to anticipate needs andrequirements than with established customers. In addition, due to their relatively recent entrance into the commercial market, additional funding for such companiesmay be more difficult to obtain and these customer relationships may not continue or materialize to the extent we planned or we previously experienced. As a resultof many start-up customers’ lack of prior operations and unproven product markets, our credit risk, especially in trade accounts receivable and inventories, and therisk that these customers will be unable to fulfill their potentially significant obligation to indemnify us from various liabilities are potentially increased. Wesometimes offer these customers extended payment terms, loans, services and other support that may increase our financial exposure. These risks are alsoheightened by the tightening of financing for start-up customers. Although we perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust our allowance fordoubtful accounts receivable for all customers, including start-up customers, based on the information available for review, these allowances may not be adequate.This risk may exist for any new emerging company customers in the future. Also, as a result of, among other things, these emerging companies tending to besmaller and less financially secure, we have faced and may face in the future increased litigation risk from these companies.In addition, we have been investing directly in certain of these emerging company customers which, along with extended payment terms, loans, otherfinancial accommodations such as not requiring customers to cover certain costs that we typically require customers to pay, for services and other support we mayprovide, may exacerbate the risks described in this Risk Factor. Risks related to these investments may also include one or more of the following: substantialselling, general and administrative expenses; substantial capital expenses or investments; losses or impairments that may be reflected in our net income item of ourStatement of Operations; and an inability to recover a partial or full amount of any investments we make in these smaller, emerging companies.The success of our business is dependent on both our ability to independently keep pace with technological changes and competitive conditions in ourindustry, and also our ability to effectively adapt our services in response to our customers keeping pace with technological changes and competitiveconditions in their respective industries.If we are unable to offer technologically advanced, cost effective, quick response manufacturing services that are differentiated from our competition,demand for our services will decline. In addition, if we are unable to offer services in response to our customers’ changing requirements, then demand for ourservices will also decline. A substantial portion of our net revenue is derived from our offering of complete service solutions for our customers. For example, if wefail to maintain high-quality design and engineering services, our net revenue may significantly decline.Consolidation in industries that utilize our services may adversely affect our business.Increasing consolidation in industries that utilize our services may occur as companies combine to achieve further economies of scale and other synergies,which could result in an increase in excess manufacturing capacity as companies seek to divest manufacturing operations or eliminate duplicative product lines.Excess manufacturing capacity may increase pricing and competitive pressures for our industry as a whole and for us in particular. Consolidation could also resultin an increasing number of very large companies offering products in multiple industries. The significant purchasing power and market power of these largecompanies could increase pricing and competitive pressures for us. If one of our customers is acquired by another company that does not rely on us to provideservices and has its own production facilities or relies on another provider of similar services, we may lose that customer’s business. Such consolidation among ourcustomers may further reduce the number of customers that generate a significant percentage of our net revenue and expose us to increased risks relating todependence on a small number of customers. Any of the foregoing results of industry consolidation could adversely affect our business.Introducing new business models or programs requiring implementation of new competencies, such as new process technologies and our development ofnew products or services for customers, could affect our operations and financial results.The introduction of new business models or programs requiring implementation or development of new competencies, such as new process technologywithin our operations and our independent development of new products or services for customers, presents challenges in addition to opportunities. The success ofnew business models or programs depends on a number of factors including, but not limited to, a sufficient understanding of the new business or markets, timelyand successful product development (by us and/or our customer), market acceptance, our ability to manage the risks associated with new product production ramp-up, the effective management of purchase commitments and inventory levels in line with anticipated product demand, our development or acquisition ofappropriate intellectual property, the availability of supplies in adequate quantities and at appropriate costs to meet anticipated demand, and the risk that newproducts may have quality or other defects in the early stages of introduction. Accordingly, we cannot determine in advance the ultimate result of new businessmodels or programs. 14Table of ContentsAs a result, we must make long-term investments, develop or obtain appropriate intellectual property and commit significant resources before knowingwhether our assumptions will accurately reflect customer demand for our services. After the development of a new business model or program, we must be able tomanufacture appropriate volumes quickly and at low cost. To accomplish this, we endeavor to accurately forecast volumes, mixes of products and configurationsthat meet customer requirements; however, we may not succeed at doing so. Any delay in development or production could harm our competitive position. We maynot meet our customers’ expectations or otherwise execute properly, timely, or in a cost-efficient manner, which could damage our customer relationships andresult in remedial costs or the loss of our invested capital and anticipated revenues and profits. In addition, the early stages of these types of new business models orprograms can be less efficient, and less profitable, than those of mature programs and/or programs developed in collaboration with customers who have experiencewith outsourcing. Also, restrictions imposed by certain customers prevent us from fully pursuing other business in such customers’ industries or other business thatwould compete with such customers’ products or technologies.While we attempt to negotiate contractual terms to avoid or mitigate some of these potential costs or losses, we are not always successful. Also, in certaininstances, a customer contract does not exist or its language does not cover a particular situation, so we have to rely on non-contractual legal remedies. In thesesituations, we must negotiate a manner to address the situation as costs or losses occur which carries with it the potential risk to lose customers and/or revenue. Inaddition, as we have experienced on occasion, there are risks of market acceptance and product performance that could result in less demand than anticipated andour having excess capacity, which could lead to significant unrecovered costs for us. The failure to ensure that our agreed terms appropriately reflect the anticipatedcosts, risks, and rewards of such an opportunity could adversely affect our profitability.We compete with numerous other diversified manufacturing service providers, electronic manufacturing services and design providers and others.Our business is highly competitive. We compete against numerous domestic and foreign electronic manufacturing service providers and design providers,including Benchmark Electronics, Inc., Celestica Inc., Flextronics International Ltd., Hon-Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd., Plexus Corp. and Sanmina Corporation.Our diversified manufacturing services segment competes against numerous domestic and foreign providers, including AptarGroup, Inc., Berry Plastics Group,Inc., Catcher Technology Co., Ltd., Gerresheimer AG, Quanta Computer, Inc. and Zeniya Aluminum Engineering, Ltd. In addition, past consolidation in ourindustry has resulted in larger and more geographically diverse competitors who have significant combined resources with which to compete against us. Also, wemay in the future encounter competition from other large electronic manufacturers, and manufacturers that are focused solely on design and manufacturingservices, that are selling, or may begin to sell diversified manufacturing services or electronic manufacturing services. Most of our competitors have internationaloperations and significant financial resources and some have substantially greater manufacturing, research and development (R&D) and marketing resources thanwe have. These competitors may: • respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies; • have technological expertise, engineering capabilities and/or manufacturing processes that are greater than ours; • have greater name recognition, critical mass and geographic market presence; • be better able to take advantage of acquisition opportunities; • adapt more quickly to changes in customer requirements; • devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their services; • be better positioned to compete on price for their services, as a result of any combination of lower labor costs, lower components costs, lower facilitiescosts, lower operating costs or lower taxes; and • have excess capacity, and be better able to utilize such excess capacity, which may reduce the cost of their product or service.We also face competition from the manufacturing operations of our current and potential customers, who are continually evaluating the merits ofmanufacturing products internally against the advantages of outsourcing. In the past, some of our customers moved a portion of their manufacturing from us inorder to more fully utilize their excess internal manufacturing capacity.We may be operating at a cost disadvantage compared to competitors who (a) have greater direct buying power from component suppliers, distributors andraw material suppliers, (b) have lower cost structures as a result of their geographic location or the services they provide, (c) are willing to make sales or provideservices at lower margins than we do (including relationships where our competitors are willing to accept a lower margin from certain of their customers for whomthey perform other higher margin business) or (d) have increased their vertical capabilities, thereby potentially providing them greater cost savings. As a result,competitors may procure a competitive advantage and obtain business from our customers. Our manufacturing processes are generally not subject to 15Table of Contentssignificant proprietary protection. In addition, companies with greater resources or a greater market presence may enter our market or increase their competitionwith us. We also expect our competitors to continue to improve the performance of their current products or services, to reduce the sales prices of their currentproducts or services and to introduce new products or services that may offer greater performance and improved pricing. In addition, due to the price sensitivenature of our industry, business that we acquire or maintain may have lower margins than our historical or target margins. Any of these developments could cause adecline in our sales, loss of market acceptance of our products or services, compression of our profits or loss of our market share.Our business could be adversely affected by any delays, or increased costs, resulting from issues that our common carriers are dealing with intransporting our materials, our products, or both.We rely on a variety of common carriers to transport our materials from our suppliers to us, and to transport our products from us to our customers. Problemssuffered by any of these common carriers, whether due to a natural disaster, labor problem, increased energy prices, criminal activity or some other issue, couldresult in shipping delays in both our products and receiving delays of raw materials, increased costs, or other supply chain disruptions, and could therefore have anegative impact on our ability to deliver products to customers on a competitive and timely basis and a material adverse effect on our operations.We may not be able to maintain our engineering, technological and manufacturing process expertise.Many of the markets for our manufacturing and engineering services are characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving process development.The continued success of our business will depend upon our ability to: • hire, retain and expand our qualified engineering and technical personnel; • maintain and continually improve our technological expertise; • develop and market manufacturing services that meet changing customer needs; and • successfully anticipate or respond to technological changes in manufacturing processes on a cost-effective and timely basis.Although we believe that our operations use the assembly and testing technologies, equipment and processes that are currently required by our customers, wecannot be certain that we will maintain or develop the capabilities required by our customers in the future. The emergence of new technology, industry standards orcustomer requirements may render our equipment, inventory or processes obsolete or noncompetitive. In addition, we may have to acquire new assembly andtesting technologies and equipment to remain competitive. The acquisition and implementation of new technologies and equipment and the offering of new oradditional services to our customers may require significant expense or capital investment, which could reduce our operating margins and our operating results. Infacilities that we establish or acquire, we may not be able to establish and maintain our engineering, technological and manufacturing process expertise. Our failureto anticipate and adapt to our customers’ changing technological needs and requirements or to hire and retain a sufficient number of engineers and maintain ourengineering, technological and manufacturing expertise could have a material adverse effect on our operations.We depend on attracting and retaining officers, managers and skilled personnel and on their compliance with company strategies and confidentialitypolicies and procedures.Our success depends to a large extent upon the continued services of our officers, managers and skilled personnel. Generally our employees are not bound byemployment or non-competition agreements, and we cannot assure you that we will retain our officers, managers and skilled personnel. We could be seriouslyharmed by the loss of any of our executive officers or multiple managers or skilled personnel. To aid in managing our growth and strengthening our managementand skilled personnel, we will need to internally develop, recruit and retain additional skilled management personnel. If we are not able to do so, our business andour ability to continue to grow could be harmed.We establish strategic goals and ethical conduct policies. We are subject to risks if our officers and managers act inconsistently with our strategic goals orviolate such ethical conduct policies. We are also subject to the risk that current and former officers, managers and skilled personnel could violate the terms of ourconfidentiality policies and procedures or proprietary information agreements with us which require them to keep confidential and not to use for their benefitinformation obtained in the course of their employment with us. Should a key current or former employee use or disclose such information, including informationconcerning our customers, pricing, capabilities or strategy, our ability to obtain new customers and to compete could be adversely impacted. In addition, ouradoption of certain third-party standards could adversely affect our ability to attract and retain employees in jurisdictions where these standards vary fromprevailing local customs and practices. 16Table of ContentsWe depend on a limited number of suppliers for components that are critical to our manufacturing processes. A shortage of these components or anincrease in their price could interrupt our operations and reduce our profit, increase our inventory carrying costs, increase our risk of exposure toinventory obsolescence and cause us to purchase components of a lesser quality.Most of our significant long-term customer contracts permit quarterly or other periodic adjustments to pricing based on decreases and increases incomponent prices and other factors; however, we typically bear the risk of component price increases that occur between any such re-pricings or, if such re-pricingis not permitted, during the balance of the term of the particular customer contract. Accordingly, certain component price increases could adversely affect our grossprofit margins.Almost all of the products we manufacture require one or more components that are only available from a single source. Some of these components areallocated from time to time in response to supply shortages. In some cases, supply shortages will substantially curtail production of all assemblies using a particularcomponent. A supply shortage can also increase our cost of goods sold, as a result of our having to pay higher prices for components in limited supply, and cause usto have to redesign or reconfigure products to accommodate a substitute component. In the past there have been industry wide conditions, natural disasters andglobal events that have caused material shortages. Such circumstances have produced insignificant levels of short-term interruption of our operations, but theycould have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the future. Portions of the Dodd-Frank Act require some companies, including ours, to conductdue diligence, make disclosures and file reports regarding the source of certain minerals that may be contained in their products that are originating from theDemocratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”) and adjoining countries. These requirements may decrease the supply of such minerals, increase their cost and/or disruptour supply chain if we decide, or are instructed by our customers, to obtain components from different suppliers.Our production of a customer’s product could be negatively impacted by any quality, reliability or availability issues with any of our component suppliers.The financial condition of our suppliers could affect their ability to supply us with components and their ability to satisfy any warranty obligations they may have,which could have a material adverse effect on our operations.If a component shortage is threatened or we anticipate one, we may purchase such component early to avoid a delay or interruption in our operations. Apossible result of such an early purchase is that we may incur additional inventory carrying costs, for which we may not be compensated, and have a heightenedrisk of exposure to inventory obsolescence, the cost of which may not be recoverable from our customers. Such costs would adversely affect our gross profit andnet income. A component shortage may also require us to look to second tier vendors or to procure components through brokers with whom we are not familiar.These components may be of lesser quality than those we have historically purchased and could cause us to incur costs to bring such components up to our typicalquality levels or to replace defective ones. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business –Components Procurement.”We derive a substantial majority of our revenue from our international operations, which may be subject to a number of risks and often require moremanagement time and expense to achieve profitability than our domestic operations.We derived a substantial majority, 90.7%, of net revenue from international operations during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016. Our internationaloperations are, have been and may be subject to a number of risks, including: • difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations and attempting to ensure they comply with our policies, procedures, and applicable local laws; • less flexible employee relationships that can be difficult and expensive to terminate due to, among other potential reasons, burdensome labor laws andregulations; • rising labor costs (including the introduction or expansion of certain social programs), in particular within the lower-cost regions in which we operate,due to, among other things, demographic changes and economic development in those regions, which we may be unable to recover in our pricing toour customers; • labor unrest and dissatisfaction, including potential labor strikes or claims; • increased scrutiny by the media and other third parties of labor practices within our industry (including but not limited to working conditions,compliance with employment and labor laws and compensation) which may result in allegations of violations, more stringent and burdensome laborlaws and regulations, increased strictness and inconsistency in the enforcement and interpretation of such laws and regulations, higher labor costs,and/or loss of revenues if our customers become dissatisfied with our labor practices and diminish or terminate their relationship with us; • burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws, including those relating to export and import duties, domestic and foreign import and exportcontrols (including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations and the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”), regulation by the United StatesDepartment of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security under the EAR), trade barriers (including tariffs and quotas), environmental policies andprivacy issues, and local statutory corporate governance related to conducting business in foreign jurisdictions; • less favorable, or relatively undefined, intellectual property laws; • unexpected changes in regulatory requirements and laws or government or judicial interpretations of such regulatory requirements and laws andadverse trade policies, and adverse changes to any of the policies of either the U.S. or any of the foreign jurisdictions in which we operate; 17Table of Contents • adverse changes in tax rates and the manner in which the U.S. and other countries tax multinational companies or interpret their tax laws (see “RiskFactors – We are subject to the risk of increased taxes”); • inability to utilize net operating losses incurred by our foreign operations against future income in the same jurisdiction; • political and economic instability and unsafe working conditions (including acts of terrorism, widespread criminal activities, outbreaks of war andregime or political leadership changes that may be detrimental to business in general or our industry in particular); • risk of governmental expropriation of our property; • inadequate infrastructure for our operations (e.g., lack of adequate power, water, transportation and raw materials); • legal or political constraints on our ability to maintain or increase prices; • governmental restrictions on the transfer of funds to us from our operations outside the U.S.; • health concerns and related government actions; • coordinating our communications and logistics across geographic distances and multiple time zones; • longer customer payment cycles and difficulty collecting trade accounts receivable; • fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which could affect local payroll and other expenses (see “Risk Factors – We are subject to risks of currencyfluctuations and related hedging operations”); and • economies that are emerging or developing or that may be subject to greater currency volatility, negative growth, high inflation, limited availability offoreign exchange and other risks.These factors may harm our results of operations. Also, any measures that we may implement to reduce risks of our international operations may not beeffective, may increase our expenses, and may require significant management time and effort. In our experience, entry into new international markets requiresconsiderable management time as well as start-up expenses for market development, hiring and establishing facilities before any significant revenue is generated.As a result, initial operations in a new market may operate at low margins or may be unprofitable.Another significant legal risk resulting from our international operations is the risk of non-compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the“FCPA”) and the United Kingdom Bribery Act (the “ACT”). In many foreign countries, particularly in those with developing economies, it may be a local customthat businesses operating in such countries engage in business practices that are prohibited by the FCPA, the ACT or other U.S. or foreign laws and regulations.Although we have implemented policies and procedures designed to cause compliance with the FCPA, the ACT and similar laws, there can be no assurance that allof our employees and agents, as well as those companies to which we outsource certain of our business operations, will not take actions in violation of our policies.Any such violation, even if prohibited by our policies, could have a material adverse effect on our operations.We have on occasion not achieved, and may not in the future achieve, expected profitability from our acquisitions.We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully integrate the operations and management of our recent acquisitions. Similarly, we cannot assureyou that we will be able to (1) identify future strategic acquisitions and adequately conduct due diligence, (2) consummate these potential acquisitions on favorableterms, if at all, or (3) if consummated, successfully integrate the operations and management of future acquisitions. Acquisitions involve significant risks, whichcould have a material adverse effect on us including: • Financial risks, such as (1) the payment of a purchase price that exceeds the future value that we may realize from the acquired operations andbusinesses; (2) an increase in our expenses and working capital requirements, which could reduce our return on invested capital; (3) potential knownand unknown liabilities of the acquired businesses, as well as contractually-based time and monetary limitations on a seller’s obligation to indemnifyus for such liabilities; (4) costs associated with integrating acquired operations and businesses; (5) the dilutive effect of the issuance of any additionalequity securities we issue as consideration for, or to finance, the acquisition; (6) the incurrence of additional debt; (7) the financial impact ofincorrectly valuing goodwill and other intangible assets involved in any acquisitions, potential future impairment write-downs of goodwill andindefinite life intangibles and the amortization of other intangible assets ; (8) possible adverse tax and accounting effects; and (9) the risk that wespend substantial amounts purchasing these manufacturing facilities and assume significant contractual and other obligations with no guaranteed levelsof revenue or that we may have to close or sell acquired facilities at our cost, which may include substantial employee severance costs and asset write-offs, which have resulted, and may result, in our incurring significant losses. • Operating risks, such as (1) the diversion of management’s attention and resources to the assimilation of the acquired businesses and their employeesand to the management of expanding operations; (2) the risk that the acquired businesses will fail to maintain the quality of services that we havehistorically provided; (3) the need to implement financial and other systems and add management resources; (4) the need to maintain customer,supplier or other favorable business relationships of acquired operations and restructure or terminate unfavorable relationships; (5) the potential fordeficiencies 18Table of Contents in internal controls of the acquired operations; (6) the inability to attract and retain the employees necessary to support the acquired businesses;(7) potential inexperience in a line of business that is either new to us or that has become materially more significant to us as a result of thetransaction; (8) unforeseen difficulties (including any unanticipated liabilities) in the acquired operations; (9) the impact on us of any unionized workforce we may acquire or any labor disruptions that might occur; (10) the possibility that the acquired business’s past transactions or practices beforeour acquisition may lead to future commercial or regulatory risks; and (11) the difficulty of presenting a unified corporate image.Although we conduct what we believe to be a prudent level of due diligence regarding the businesses we purchase, in light of the circumstances of eachtransaction, an unavoidable level of risk remains regarding the actual condition of these businesses. Until we actually assume operating control of such businessesand their assets and operations, we may not be able to ascertain the actual value or understand the potential liabilities of the acquired entities and their operations.Most of our acquisitions involve operations outside of the U.S. which are subject to various risks including those described in “Risk Factors – We derive asubstantial majority of our revenue from our international operations, which may be subject to a number of risks and often require more management time andexpense to achieve profitability than our domestic operations.”We have acquired and may continue to pursue the acquisition of manufacturing and supply chain management operations from our customers (or potentialcustomers). In these acquisitions, the divesting company will typically enter into a supply arrangement with the acquirer. Therefore, our competitors often alsopursue these acquisitions. In addition, certain divesting companies may choose not to offer to sell their operations to us because of our current supply arrangementswith other companies or may require terms and conditions that may impact our profitability. If we are unable to attract and consummate some of these acquisitionopportunities at favorable terms, our growth and profitability could be adversely impacted.In addition to those risks listed above, arrangements entered into with these divesting companies typically involve certain other risks, including thefollowing: • the integration into our business of the acquired assets and facilities may be time-consuming and costly; • we, rather than the divesting company, may bear the risk of excess capacity; • we may not achieve anticipated cost reductions and efficiencies; • we may be unable to meet the expectations of the divesting company as to volume, product quality, timeliness, pricing requirements and costreductions; and • if demand for the divesting company’s products declines, it may reduce its volume of purchases and we may not be able to sufficiently reduce theexpenses of operating the facility we acquired from it or use such facility to provide services to other customers.In addition, when acquiring manufacturing operations, we may receive limited commitments to firm production schedules. Accordingly, in thesecircumstances, we may spend substantial amounts purchasing these manufacturing facilities and assume significant contractual and other obligations with no orinsufficient guaranteed levels of revenue. We may also not achieve expected profitability from these arrangements. As a result of these and other risks, theseoutsourcing opportunities may not be profitable.We have expanded the primary scope of our acquisitions strategy beyond focusing on acquisition opportunities presented by companies divesting internalmanufacturing operations. The more recent acquisitions focus on pursuing opportunities to acquire businesses that are focused on certain of our key growth areaswhich include specialized manufacturing, design operations and other acquisition opportunities complementary to our services offerings. The primary goals of ouracquisition strategy are to complement our current capabilities, diversify our business into new industry sectors and with new customers and expand the scope ofthe services we can offer to our customers. The amount and scope of the risks associated with acquisitions of this type extend beyond those that we havetraditionally faced in making acquisitions. These extended risks include greater uncertainties in the financial benefits and potential liabilities associated with thisexpanded base of acquisitions.We are exposed to intangible asset risk.We have recorded intangible assets, including goodwill, which are attributable to business acquisitions. We are required to perform goodwill and intangibleasset impairment tests at least on an annual basis and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from estimatedfuture cash flows. As a result of our annual and other periodic evaluations, we may determine that the intangible asset values need to be written down to their fairvalues, which could result in material charges that could be adverse to our operating results and financial position.We face risks arising from the restructuring of our operations.Over the past few years, we have undertaken initiatives to restructure our business operations with the intention of improving utilization and realizing costsavings in the future. These initiatives have included changing the number and location of our production facilities, largely to align our capacity and infrastructurewith current and anticipated customer demand. This alignment includes 19Table of Contentstransferring programs from higher cost geographies to lower cost geographies. The process of restructuring entails, among other activities, moving productionbetween facilities, closing facilities, reducing the level of staff, realigning our business processes and reorganizing our management.We continuously evaluate our operations and cost structure relative to general economic conditions, market and customer demands, tax rates, costcompetitiveness and our geographic footprint as it relates to our customers’ production requirements. As a result of this ongoing evaluation, we initiatedrestructuring plans approved by our Board of Directors in fiscal year 2017 (the “2017 Restructuring Plan”), in fiscal year 2014 (the “2014 Restructuring Plan”) andin fiscal year 2013 (the “2013 Restructuring Plan”). See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Results ofOperations – The Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2016 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2015, Note 15 “Restructuring and Related Charges” and Note18 – “Subsequent Events” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details. In addition, we could initiate future restructuring plans. If we incurrestructuring charges related to the 2017 Restructuring Plan and 2013 Restructuring Plan, or in connection with any potential future restructuring program, inaddition to those charges that we currently expect to incur, our financial condition and results of operations may suffer.Restructurings present significant potential risks of events occurring that could adversely affect us, including a decrease in employee morale, delaysencountered in finalizing the scope of, and implementing, the restructurings (including extensive consultations concerning potential workforce reductions andobtaining agreements from our affected customers for the relocation of our facilities in certain instances), the failure to achieve targeted cost savings, the failure tomeet operational targets and customer requirements due to the loss of employees and any work stoppages that might occur and the strain placed on our financialand management control systems and resources. These risks are further complicated by our extensive international operations, which subject us to different legaland regulatory requirements that govern the extent and speed of our ability to reduce our manufacturing capacity and workforce. In addition, the current globaleconomic conditions may change how governments regulate restructuring as the recent global recession has impacted local economies. Finally, we may have toobtain agreements from our affected customers for the relocation of our facilities in certain instances. Obtaining these agreements, along with the volatility in ourcustomers’ demand, can further delay restructuring activities.We and our customers are subject to increasingly extensive government regulations and industry standards; a failure to comply with current and futureregulations and standards could have an adverse effect on our business, customer relationships, reputation and profitability.We are subject to extensive government regulation and industry standards relating to the products we design and manufacture as well as how we conduct ourbusiness, including regulations and standards relating to labor and employment practices, workplace health and safety, the environment, sourcing and import/exportpractices, the market sectors we support and many other facets of our operations. The regulatory climate in the U.S. and other countries has become increasinglycomplex and fragmented, and regulatory activity has increased in recent periods. Failure or noncompliance with such regulations or standards could have anadverse effect on our reputation, customer relationships, profitability and results of operations.Our customers are also required to comply with various government regulations, legal requirements and industry standards, including many of the industry-specific regulations discussed above. Our customers’ failure to comply could affect their businesses, which in turn would affect our sales to them. In addition, if ourcustomers are required by regulation or other requirements to make changes in their product lines, these changes could significantly disrupt particular programs forthese customers and create inefficiencies in our business.In addition to quality management standards, there are several other U.S. regulations that we are also required to follow, including the Federal AcquisitionRegulations (“FAR”), which provides uniform policies and procedures for acquisition; the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement, a Department ofDefense (“DOD”) agency supplement to the FAR that provides DOD-specific acquisition regulations that DOD government acquisition officials, and thosecontractors doing business with DOD, must follow in the procurement process for goods and services; and the Truth in Negotiations Act, which is a law enacted forthe purpose of providing for full and fair disclosure by contractors in the conduct of negotiations with the government.We have addressed several other specific laws and regulations within various risk factors elsewhere in this section.If our manufacturing sites, processes and services do not comply with applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, or if we manufacture productscontaining design or manufacturing defects, demand for our services may decline, our reputation may be damaged and we may be subject to liabilityclaims.We manufacture and design products to our customers’ specifications, and, in some cases, our manufacturing sites, processes or facilities may need tocomply with applicable statutory and regulatory requirements as well as certain customer-driven standards. For example, medical devices that we manufacture ordesign, as well as the facilities and manufacturing processes that we use to produce them, are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) andnon-U.S. counterparts of this agency. Similarly, items we manufacture for customers in the defense and aerospace industries, as well as the processes we use toproduce them, are regulated by the DOD and the Federal Aviation Authority. If we do not conduct our business at those facilities at which this business isconducted in accordance with applicable laws, we may be subject to civil or criminal penalties and administrative sanctions by either the 20Table of Contentsgovernment, the customer or third parties. Also, we may be subject to standards established by certain customers, industry groups or other third party organizations(e.g., certain standards relating to labor practices). In addition, our customers’ products and the manufacturing processes and design services that we use to producethem often are highly complex. As a result, products that we manufacture or design may at times contain manufacturing or design defects, and our processes maybe subject to errors or not be in compliance with applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. Defects in the products we manufacture or design, whethercaused by a design, manufacturing or component failure or error, or deficiencies in our manufacturing processes, may result in delayed shipments to customers orreduced or canceled customer orders. If these defects or deficiencies are significant, our business reputation may also be damaged. The failure of the products thatwe manufacture or of our manufacturing processes or facilities to comply with applicable statutory and regulatory requirements may subject us to regulatoryenforcement, legal fines or penalties and, in some cases, require us to shut down, temporarily halt operations or incur considerable expense to correct amanufacturing process or facility. In addition, these defects may result in liability claims against us, expose us to liability to pay for the recall or remanufacture of aproduct or adversely affect product sales or our reputation. The magnitude of such claims may increase as we expand our medical and aerospace and defensemanufacturing services, as defects in medical devices and aerospace and defense systems could cause death or seriously harm users of these products and others.Even if our customers are responsible for the defects or defective specifications, they may not, or may not have resources to, assume responsibility for any costs orliabilities arising from these defects, which could expose us to additional liability claims. Any of these actions could increase our expenses, reduce our revenue ordamage our reputation as a supplier to these customers.We may face heightened liability risks specific to our medical device business as a result of additional healthcare regulatory related compliancerequirements and the potential severe consequences that could result from manufacturing defects or malfunctions (e.g., death or serious injury) of themedical devices we manufacture or design.As a manufacturer and designer of medical devices for our customers, we have compliance requirements in addition to those relating to other areas of ourbusiness. We are required to register with the FDA and are subject to periodic inspection by the FDA for compliance with the FDA’s Quality System Regulation(“QSR”) and current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) requirements, which require manufacturers of medical devices to adhere to certain regulations and toimplement design and process manufacturing controls, quality control, labeling, handling and documentation procedures. The FDA, through periodic inspectionsand product field monitoring, continually reviews and rigorously monitors compliance with these QSR requirements and other applicable regulatory requirements.If any FDA inspection reveals noncompliance, and we do not address the FDA’s concerns to its satisfaction, the FDA may take action against us, including issuinga form noting the FDA’s inspection observations, a notice of violation or a warning letter, imposing fines, bringing an action against the Company and its officers,requiring a recall of the products we manufactured for our customers, issuing an import detention on products entering the U.S. from an offshore facility ortemporarily halting operations at or shutting down a manufacturing facility. Beyond the FDA, our medical device business is subject to additional state and foreignregulatory requirements which may also impact our ability to continue operations if these entities were to allege noncompliance and take action against us. If any ofthese were to occur, our reputation and business could suffer.In addition, any defects or malfunctions in medical devices we manufacture or in our manufacturing processes and facilities may result in liability claimsagainst us, expose us to liability to pay for the recall or remanufacture of a product, or otherwise adversely affect product sales or our reputation. The magnitude ofsuch claims could be particularly severe as defects in medical devices could cause severe harm or injuries, including death, to users of these products and others.Compliance or the failure to comply with current and future environmental, health and safety, product stewardship and producer responsibility laws orregulations could cause us significant expense.We are subject to a variety of federal, state, local and foreign environmental, health and safety, product stewardship and producer responsibility laws andregulations, including those relating to the use, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous chemicals used during our manufacturing process, those governingworker health and safety, those requiring design changes, supply chain investigation or conformity assessments or those relating to the recycling or reuse ofproducts we manufacture. If we fail to comply with any present or future regulations or timely obtain any needed permits, we could become subject to liabilities,and we could face fines or penalties, the suspension of production, or prohibitions on sales of products we manufacture. At times, we have been unable to timelyobtain certain permits, although we have been able to address those circumstances without any material adverse impact. There can be no assurance, however, thatany future inability to timely obtain permits would not materially adversely affect us. In addition, such regulations could restrict our ability to expand our facilitiesor could require us to acquire costly equipment, or to incur other significant expenses, including expenses associated with the recall of any non-compliant productor with changes in our operational, procurement and inventory management activities.While we have not been required historically to make significant capital expenditures in order to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations,we cannot predict with any certainty our future capital expenditure requirements because of continually changing compliance standards and environmentaltechnology.Certain environmental laws impose liability for the costs of investigation, removal and remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on an owner, occupieror operator of real estate, or on parties who arranged for hazardous substance treatment or disposal, 21Table of Contentseven if such person or company was unaware of, or not responsible for, contamination at the affected site. Soil and groundwater contamination may have occurredat or near, or may have arisen from, some of our facilities. From time to time we investigate, remediate and monitor soil and groundwater contamination at certainof our operating sites. In certain instances where contamination existed prior to our ownership or occupation of a site, landlords or former owners have retainedsome contractual responsibility for contamination and remediation. However, failure of such persons to perform those obligations could result in us being requiredto address such contamination. As a result, we may incur clean-up costs in such potential removal or remediation efforts. In other instances, we may be responsiblefor clean-up costs and other liabilities, including the possibility of claims due to health risks by both employees and non-employees, as well as other third-partyclaims in connection with contaminated sites.From time to time new regulations are enacted, or existing requirements are changed, and it is difficult to anticipate how such regulations and changes willbe implemented and enforced. We continue to evaluate the necessary steps for compliance with regulations as they are enacted.Our failure to comply with any applicable regulatory requirements or with related contractual obligations could result in our being directly or indirectly liablefor costs (including product recall and/or replacement costs), fines or penalties and third party claims, and could jeopardize our ability to conduct business in thejurisdictions implementing them.In addition, there is an increasing governmental focus around the world on global warming and environmental impact issues, which may result in newenvironmental, health and safety regulations that may affect us, our suppliers and our customers. This could cause us to incur additional direct costs for compliance,as well as increased indirect costs resulting from our customers, suppliers or both incurring additional compliance costs that get passed on to us. These costs mayadversely impact our operations and financial condition.We and our customers are increasingly concerned with environmental issues, such as waste management (including recycling) and climate change (includingreducing carbon outputs). We expect these concerns to grow and require increased investments of time and resources.We have limited insurance coverage for potential environmental liabilities associated with current operations and we do not anticipate increasing suchcoverage in the future.Our manufacturing processes and services may result in exposure to intellectual property infringement and other claims.Providing manufacturing services can expose us to potential claims that products, designs or manufacturing processes we use infringe third party intellectualproperty rights. Even though many of our manufacturing services contracts generally require our customers to indemnify us for infringement claims relating to theirproducts, including associated product specifications and designs, a particular customer may not, or may not have the resources to, assume responsibility for suchclaims. In addition, we may be responsible for claims that our manufacturing processes or components used in manufacturing infringe third party intellectualproperty rights. Infringement claims could subject us to significant liability for damages, potential injunctive action, or hamper our normal operations such as byinterfering with the availability of components and, regardless of merits, could be time-consuming and expensive to resolve, and have a material adverse effect onour results of operations and financial position. In the event of such a claim, we may spend significant amounts of money and effort to develop non-infringingalternatives or obtain and maintain licenses. We may not be successful in developing such alternatives or obtaining and maintaining such licenses on reasonableterms or at all. Our customers may be required to or decide to discontinue products which are alleged to be infringing rather than face continued costs of defendinginfringement claims, and such discontinuance may result in a significant decrease in our business and/or could have a material adverse effect on our results ofoperations and financial position. The risks described in this Risk Factor may be heightened in connection with our customer relationships with emergingcompanies.Our design services and turnkey solutions offerings may result in additional exposure to product liability, intellectual property infringement and otherclaims, in addition to the business risk of being unable to produce the revenues necessary to profit from these services.We continue our efforts to offer certain design services, primarily relating to products that we manufacture for our customers. We also offer turnkeysolutions that include the design and manufacture of end-user products, and product components, as well as related services. Providing such turnkey solutions orother design solutions can expose us to different or greater potential liabilities than those we face when providing just manufacturing services, including an increasein exposure to potential product liability claims resulting from injuries caused by defects in products we design, as well as potential claims that products we designor supply, or materials or components we use, infringe third party intellectual property rights. Such claims could subject us to significant liability for damages,subject the infringing portion of our business to injunction and, regardless of their merits, could be time-consuming and expensive to resolve. We also may havegreater potential exposure from warranty claims and from product recalls due to problems caused by product design. Costs associated with possible product liabilityclaims, intellectual property infringement claims and product recalls could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position. In theevent of such a claim, we may spend significant amounts of money and effort to develop non-infringing alternatives or obtain and maintain licenses. We may notbe successful in developing such alternatives or obtaining and maintaining such a license on reasonable terms or at all. When providing turnkey solutions or otherdesign solutions, we may not be guaranteed revenue needed to recoup or profit from the investment in the resources necessary to design and develop products orprovide services. No revenue may be generated from these 22Table of Contentsefforts, particularly if our customers do not approve the designs in a timely manner or at all, or if they do not then purchase anticipated levels of products.Furthermore, contracts may allow the customer to delay or cancel deliveries and may not obligate the customer to any volume of purchases, or may provide forpenalties or cancellation of orders if we are late in delivering designs or products. We may also have the responsibility to ensure that products we design or offersatisfy certain standards, like safety and regulatory standards, and to obtain any necessary certifications. Failure to timely obtain the necessary approvals orcertifications could prevent us from selling these products, which in turn could harm our sales, profitability and reputation and could have a material adverse effecton our results of operations and financial position.In our contracts with turnkey solutions customers, we generally provide them with a warranty against defects in our designs. If a turnkey solutions product orcomponent that we design is found to be defective in its design, this may lead to increased warranty claims. Warranty claims may also extend to defects caused bycomponents or materials used in the products, including components and materials provided to us by our suppliers. Although we have product liability insurancecoverage, it may not be adequate or may not continue to be available on acceptable terms, in sufficient amounts, or at all. A successful product liability claim inexcess of our insurance coverage or any material claim for which insurance coverage was denied or limited and for which we are not ultimately indemnified for,could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position. Moreover, even if the claim relates to a defect caused by a supplier, we maynot be able to get an adequate remedy from the supplier.The success of certain aspects of our business depends in part on our ability to obtain, protect and leverage intellectual property rights.In certain circumstances, we strive to obtain and protect certain intellectual property rights related to solutions, designs, processes and products that wecreate. We believe that obtaining a significant level of protected proprietary technology may give us a competitive advantage. However, we cannot be certain thatthe measures that we employ will result in protected intellectual property rights or will result in the prevention of unauthorized use of our technology. If we areunable to obtain and protect intellectual property rights embodied within our solutions, designs, processes and products, this could reduce or eliminate competitiveadvantages of our proprietary technology, which would harm our business and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financialposition.In addition to selectively relying on patent rights, we rely on unpatented proprietary know-how and trade secrets, and employ various methods, includingnon-disclosure agreements with our customers, employees, and suppliers and our internal security systems, policies and procedures to protect our know-how andtrade secrets. However, these mechanisms may not afford complete, or sufficient protection, and misappropriation may still occur. Further, there can be noassurance that we will, or will be able to, acquire or enforce our patent or other rights, if any, and that others will not independently develop similar know-how andtrade secrets, or develop better production methods than us. We have not historically sought patent protection for many of our proprietary processes, designs orother patentable intellectual property. Further, we may not be able to prevent current and former employees, contractors and other parties from breaching non-disclosure agreements and misappropriating proprietary information and it is possible that third parties may copy or otherwise obtain and use our information andproprietary technology without authorization or otherwise infringe on our intellectual property rights. If any of the foregoing occur, it could impair our ability tocompete with others in our industry.Intellectual property infringement claims against our customers, our suppliers or us could harm our business.Products we manufacture and/or services we provide may infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties, some of who may hold key intellectualproperty rights in areas in which we operate. Some of these third parties may compete with us, our suppliers or our customers. Some of these third parties may notactively provide competing products or services. Patent clearance or licensing activities, if any, may be inadequate to anticipate and avoid third party claims. As aresult, in addition to the risk that we could become subject to claims of intellectual property infringement, our customers or suppliers could become subject toinfringement claims. Additionally, customers for our turnkey solutions or design services in which we have significant technology contributions, typically requirethat we indemnify them against the risk of intellectual property infringement. If any claims are brought against our customers, our suppliers or us for suchinfringement, regardless of their merits, we could be required to expend significant resources in the defense or settlement of such claims, or in the defense orsettlement of related indemnification claims. In the event of a claim, we may be required to spend significant amounts of money and effort to develop non-infringing alternatives or obtain and maintain licenses. We may not be successful in developing such alternatives or obtaining or maintaining such licenses onreasonable terms or at all. We, our suppliers or our customers may be required to or decide to discontinue products which are alleged to be infringing rather thanface continued costs of defending the infringement claims, and such discontinuance may result in a significant decrease in our business, and could have a materialadverse effect on our results of operations and financial position.Any delay in the implementation of our information systems could disrupt our operations and cause unanticipated increases in our costs.We have completed the installation of an enterprise resource planning system in most of our manufacturing sites and in our corporate location. We arecurrently in the process of installing this system in certain of our remaining facilities which will replace the existing planning and financial information systems.Any delay in the implementation of these information systems could result in material adverse consequences, including disruption of operations, loss of informationand unanticipated increases in costs. 23Table of ContentsDisruptions to our information systems, including security breaches, losses of data or outages, and other security issues, could adversely affect ouroperations.We rely on information systems, some of which are owned and operated by third parties, to store, process and transmit confidential information, includingfinancial reporting, inventory management, procurement, invoicing and electronic communications, belonging to our customers, our suppliers, our employeesand/or us. We attempt to monitor and mitigate our exposure and modify our systems when warranted and we have implemented certain business continuity itemsincluding data backups at alternative sites. Nevertheless, these systems are vulnerable to, and at times have suffered from, among other things, damage from powerloss or natural disasters, computer system and network failures, loss of telecommunication services, physical and electronic loss of data, terrorist attacks, securitybreaches and computer viruses. We regularly face attempts by others to access our information systems in an unauthorized manner, to introduce malicious softwareto such systems or both. The increased use of mobile technologies can heighten these and other operational risks. If we, or the third parties who own and operatecertain of our information systems, are unable to prevent such breaches, losses of data and outages, our operations could be disrupted. In addition, any productioninefficiencies or delays could negatively affect our ability to fill customer orders, resulting in a delay or reduction in our revenues. Also, the time and funds spenton monitoring and mitigating our exposure and responding to breaches, including the training of employees, the purchase of protective technologies and the hiringof additional employees and consultants to assist in these efforts could adversely affect our financial results. Finally, any theft or misuse of information resultingfrom a security breach could result in, among other things, loss of significant and/or sensitive information, litigation by affected parties, financial obligationsresulting from such theft or misuse, higher insurance premiums, governmental investigations, negative reactions from current and potential future customers(including potential negative financial ramifications under certain customer contract provisions) and poor publicity and any of these could adversely affect ourfinancial results.We are subject to the risk of increased taxes.We base our tax position upon the anticipated nature and conduct of our business and upon our understanding of the tax laws of the various countries inwhich we have assets or conduct activities. Our tax position, however, is subject to review and possible challenge by taxing authorities and to possible changes inlaw (including adverse changes to the manner in which the U.S. and other countries tax multinational companies or interpret their tax laws). We cannot determinein advance the extent to which some jurisdictions may assess additional tax or interest and penalties on such additional taxes. In addition, our effective tax rate maybe increased by the generation of higher income in countries with higher tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in our cashmanagement strategies, changes in local tax rates or countries adopting more aggressive interpretations of tax laws.Refer to Note 5 – “Income Taxes” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for details of the field examination completed by the Internal Revenue Service(“IRS”) of our tax returns for the fiscal years 2009 through 2011 which resulted in proposed adjustments. While we currently believe that the resolution of theseissues will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, an unfavorable resolution, particularly if the IRSsuccessfully asserts similar claims for later years, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.Several countries in which we are located allow for tax incentives to attract and retain business. We have obtained incentives where available andpracticable. Our taxes could increase if certain tax incentives are retracted (such as occurred with our calendar year 2011 Shanghai tax incentive), which couldoccur if we are unable to satisfy the conditions on which such incentives are based, if they are not renewed upon expiration, or if tax rates applicable to us in suchjurisdictions otherwise increase. It is not anticipated that any tax incentives will expire within the next year. However, due to the possibility of changes in existingtax law and our operations, we are unable to predict how any expirations will impact us in the future. In addition, acquisitions may cause our effective tax rate toincrease, depending on the jurisdictions in which the acquired operations are located.Certain of our subsidiaries provide financing, products and services to, and may undertake certain significant transactions with, other subsidiaries in differentjurisdictions. Moreover, several jurisdictions in which we operate have tax laws with detailed transfer pricing rules which require that all transactions with non-resident related parties be priced using arm’s length pricing principles, and that contemporaneous documentation must exist to support such pricing. There is a riskthat the taxing authorities may not deem our transfer pricing documentation acceptable. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”)released guidance related to Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) which may result in legislative changes that could impact our effective tax rate.Our credit rating may be downgraded.Our credit is rated by credit rating agencies. Our 8.250% Senior Notes, our 5.625% Senior Notes and our 4.700% Senior Notes are currently rated BBB- byFitch Ratings (“Fitch”) and Standard and Poor’s Ratings Service (“S&P”) and Ba1 by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), and are considered to be below“investment grade” debt by Moody’s and “investment grade” debt by Fitch and S&P. Any potential future negative change in our credit rating may make it moreexpensive for us to raise additional capital in the future on terms that are acceptable to us, if at all; negatively impact the price of our common stock; increase ourinterest payments under existing debt agreements; and have other negative implications on our business, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, theinterest rate payable on the 8.250% Senior Notes and under the Credit Facility is subject to adjustment from time to time if our credit ratings change. Thus, anypotential future negative change in our credit rating may increase the interest rate payable on the 8.250% Senior Notes, the Credit Facility and certain of our otherborrowings. 24Table of ContentsOur amount of debt could significantly increase in the future.As of August 31, 2016, our debt obligations consisted of $400.0 million under our 8.250% Senior Notes, $400.0 million under our 5.625% Senior Notes,$500.0 million under our 4.700% Senior Notes, $300.0 million under our 4.900% Senior Notes and $500.0 million under the Term Loan Facility. As of August 31,2016, there was $49.4 million outstanding under various bank loans to certain of our foreign subsidiaries and under various other debt obligations. On May 19,2016, we entered into a note purchase agreement with certain third parties which closed on July 14, 2016 for a private placement of $300.0 million of seniorunsecured notes maturing on July 14, 2023 with an interest rate of 4.9% (the “4.900% Senior Notes”). The proceeds from the sale of the notes were used to repayour $312.0 million 7.750% Senior Notes due July 15, 2016. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations –Liquidity and Capital Resources” and Note 9 – “Notes Payable, Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations” to the Consolidated Financial Statements forfurther details.We have the ability to borrow up to $1.5 billion under the Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility contemplates a potentialincrease of up to an additional $500.0 million, if we and the lenders later agree to such increase. We could incur additional indebtedness in the future in the form ofbank loans, notes or convertible securities.Should we desire to consummate significant additional acquisition opportunities, undertake significant additional expansion activities, make substantialinvestments in our infrastructure or enter into a stock repurchase program, our capital needs would increase and could possibly result in our need to increaseavailable borrowings under our revolving credit facilities or access public or private debt and equity markets. There can be no assurance, however, that we wouldbe successful in raising additional debt or equity on terms that we would consider acceptable. An increase in the level of our indebtedness, among other things,could: • make it difficult for us to obtain any necessary financing in the future for other acquisitions, working capital, capital expenditures, debt servicerequirements or other purposes; • limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to changes in, our business; • make us more vulnerable in the event of a downturn in our business; and • impact certain financial covenants that we are subject to in connection with our debt and asset-backed securitization programs, including, amongothers, the maximum ratio of debt to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in our debt agreements and securitization programs).There can be no assurance that we will be able to meet future debt service obligations.An adverse change in the interest rates for our borrowings could adversely affect our financial condition.We pay interest on outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and certain other long term debt obligations at interest rates that fluctuatebased upon changes in various base interest rates. An adverse change in the base rates upon which our interest rates are determined could have a material adverseeffect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. If certain economic or fiscal issues occur, interest rates could rise which would increase ourinterest costs and reduce our net income. Also, increased interest rates could make any future, fixed interest rate debt obligations more expensive.We are subject to risks of currency fluctuations and related hedging operations.Although a significant number of our operations are located outside the United States, the majority of our business is conducted in U.S. dollar. Changes inexchange rates will affect our net revenue, cost of sales, operating margins and net income. We cannot predict the impact of future exchange rate fluctuations. Weuse financial instruments, primarily forward contracts, to economically hedge our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. We believe that our hedging activitiesenable us to largely protect ourselves from future exchange rate fluctuations. If, however, these hedging activities are not successful or if we change or reduce thesehedging activities in the future, we may experience significant unexpected expenses from fluctuations in exchange rates.Our stock price may be volatile.Our common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). The market price of our common stock has fluctuated substantially in the pastand could fluctuate substantially in the future, based on a variety of factors, including future announcements covering us or our key customers or competitors,government regulations, litigation, changes in earnings estimates by analysts, fluctuations in quarterly operating results, or general conditions in our industry andthe automotive, capital equipment, consumer lifestyles and wearable technologies, computing and storage, defense and aerospace, digital home, emerging growth,healthcare, industrial and energy, mobility, networking and telecommunications, packaging, point of sale, and printing industries. Furthermore, stock prices formany companies and high technology companies in particular, fluctuate widely for reasons that may be unrelated to their operating results. Those fluctuations andgeneral economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions or international currency fluctuations and demand for our services, may adversely affect themarket price of our common stock. 25Table of ContentsProvisions in our charter documents and state law may make it harder for others to obtain control of us even though some shareholders might considersuch a development to be favorable.Provisions in our amended certificate of incorporation, amended bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law from time to time may delay, inhibit orprevent someone from gaining control of us through a tender offer, business combination, proxy contest or some other method. These provisions may adverselyimpact our shareholders because they may decrease the possibility of a transaction in which our shareholders receive an amount of consideration in exchange fortheir shares that is at a significant premium to the then current market price of our shares. These provisions include: • a restriction in our amended bylaws on the ability of shareholders to take action by less than unanimous written consent; and • a statutory restriction on business combinations with some types of interested shareholders.In addition, for ten years we had a “poison pill” shareholder rights plan that our Board of Directors allowed to expire in October 2011 without extension. Indoing that, our Board considered various relevant issues, including the fact that if needed and appropriate it can, under the Delaware General Corporation Law,implement a new shareholders rights plan reasonably quickly and without stockholder approval. Our Board regularly considers this topic, even in the absence ofspecific circumstances or takeover proposals, to facilitate its ability in the future to act expeditiously and appropriately should the need arise.Changes in the securities laws and regulations have increased, and may continue to increase, our costs; and any future changes would likely increase ourcosts.The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as related rules promulgated by the SEC (including the Dodd-Frank Act) and the NYSE, required changes in someof our corporate governance, securities disclosure and compliance practices. Compliance with these rules increased our legal and financial accounting costs forseveral years following the announcement and effectiveness of these new rules. While these costs are no longer increasing, they may in fact increase in the future.In addition, due, at least in part, to the turmoil over the past several years in the securities and credit markets, as well as the global economy, many U.S. andinternational governmental, regulatory and supervisory authorities including, but not limited to, the SEC and the NYSE, have enacted additional changes in theirlaws, regulations and rules and may be contemplating additional changes. These changes, and any such future changes, may cause our legal and financialaccounting costs to increase.Due to inherent limitations, there can be no assurance that our system of disclosure and internal controls and procedures will be successful in preventingall errors, theft and fraud, or in informing management of all material information in a timely manner.Our Board management, including our CEO and CFO, do not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls and procedures will prevent all errors,theft and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of thecontrol system are met. Further, the design of a control system reflects that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative totheir costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instancesof fraud, if any, within the company have been or will be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faultyand that breakdowns can occur simply because of error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusionof two or more people, or by management override of the control.The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance thatany design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes inconditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system,misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.If we receive other than an unqualified opinion on the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2017 or any future year-ends, investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could result in a decrease in the value of your shares.Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, larger public companies like us are required to include an annual report on internal control overfinancial reporting in their annual reports on Form 10-K that contains an assessment by management of the effectiveness of the company’s internal control overfinancial reporting. Our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, issued an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of our internalcontrol over financial reporting as of August 31, 2016. While we continuously conduct a rigorous review of our internal control over financial reporting in order totry to assure compliance with the Section 404 requirements, if our independent registered public accounting firm interprets the Section 404 requirements and therelated rules and regulations differently from us or if our independent registered public accounting firm is not satisfied with our internal control over financialreporting or with the level at which it is documented, operated or reviewed, they may issue an adverse opinion. An adverse opinion could result in an adversereaction in the financial markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, we have spent a significantamount of resources, and will likely continue to for the foreseeable future, in complying with Section 404’s requirements, particularly given the changes recentlyintroduced by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) to the manner in which internal controls over financial reporting must be administered. 26Table of ContentsEnergy price increases may negatively impact our results of operations.Certain of the components that we use in our manufacturing activities are petroleum-based. In addition, we, along with our suppliers and customers, rely onvarious energy sources (including oil) in our facilities and transportation activities. An increase in energy prices, which have been volatile over the past few years,could cause an increase to our raw material costs and transportation costs. The risk of an increase in energy prices may be particularly heightened given theircurrent low levels. Such prices may return to more typical historical levels quickly, which could have a negative effect on energy markets in general which wouldimpact our business. In addition, increased transportation costs of certain of our suppliers and customers could be passed along to us. We may not be able toincrease our product prices enough to offset these increased costs. In addition, any increase in our product prices may reduce our future customer orders andprofitability.We are subject to risks associated with natural disasters, climate change and global events.Our operations and those of our customers and suppliers may be subject to natural disasters, climate change related events, or other business disruptions,which could seriously harm our results of operation and increase our costs and expenses. We are susceptible to losses and interruptions caused by hurricanes(including in Florida, where our headquarters are located), earthquakes, power shortages, telecommunications failures, water or other natural resource shortages,tsunamis, floods, typhoons, drought, fire, extreme weather conditions, rising sea level, geopolitical events such as direct or indirect terrorist acts or acts of war,international boycotts and sanctions, or widespread criminal activities and other natural or manmade disasters. Such events could make it difficult or impossible tomanufacture or to deliver products to our customers, receive production materials from our suppliers, or perform critical functions, which could adversely affect ourbusiness globally or in certain regions. While we maintain similar manufacturing capacities at different locations and coordinate multi-source supplier programs onmany of our materials which would better enable us to respond to these types of events, we cannot be sure that our plans will fully protect us from all suchdisruptions. Our insurance coverage with respect to natural disasters is limited and is subject to deductibles and coverage limits. Such coverage may not beadequate, or may not continue to be available at commercially reasonable rates and terms.While we manufacture our products in a large number of diversified facilities and maintain insurance covering our facilities, including business interruptioninsurance, a catastrophic loss of the use of all or a portion of one of our key manufacturing facilities due to accident, labor issues, weather conditions, naturaldisaster or otherwise, whether short or long-term, could have a material adverse effect on us.

We provide comprehensive electronics design, productionand product management services to companies in the automotive, capital equipment, consumer lifestyles and wearable technologies, computing and storage,defense and aerospace, digital home, emerging growth, healthcare, industrial and energy, mobility, networking and telecommunications, packaging, point of saleand printing industries.We derive substantially all of our revenue from production and product management services (collectively referred to as “manufacturing services”), whichencompasses the act of producing tangible components that are built to customer specifications which are then provided to the customer. We recognizemanufacturing services revenue when such tangible components are shipped to or the goods are received by the customer, title and risk of ownership have passed,the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured (net of estimated returns). We also derive revenue to a lesser extent fromelectronic design services to certain customers. Revenue from electronic design services is generally recognized upon completion and acceptance by the respectivecustomer.Our reportable operating segments consist of two segments: Electronics Manufacturing Services (“EMS”) and Diversified Manufacturing Services (“DMS”).Our EMS segment is focused around leveraging IT, supply chain design and engineering, technologies largely centered on core electronics, sharing of our largescale manufacturing infrastructure and the ability to serve a broad range of end markets. Our EMS segment includes customers primarily in the automotive, capitalequipment, computing and storage, digital home, industrial and energy, networking and telecommunications, point of sale and printing industries. Our DMSsegment is focused on providing engineering solutions and a focus on material sciences and technologies. Our DMS segment includes customers primarily in theconsumer lifestyles and wearable technologies, defense and aerospace, emerging growth, healthcare, mobility and packaging industries.Our cost of revenue includes the cost of electronic components and other materials that comprise the products we manufacture; the cost of labor andmanufacturing overhead; and adjustments for excess and obsolete inventory. As a provider of turnkey manufacturing services, we are responsible for procuringcomponents and other materials. This requires us to commit significant working capital to our operations and to manage the purchasing, receiving, inspecting andstocking of materials. Although we bear the risk of fluctuations in the cost of materials and excess scrap, we periodically negotiate cost of materials adjustmentswith our customers. Net revenue from each product that we manufacture consists of an element based on the costs of materials in that product and an element basedon the labor and manufacturing overhead costs allocated to that product. We refer to the portion of the sales price of a product that is based on materials costs as“material-based revenue,” and to the portion of the sales price of a product that is based on labor and manufacturing overhead costs as “manufacturing-basedrevenue.” Our gross margin for any product depends on the mix between the cost of materials in the product and the cost of labor and manufacturing overheadallocated to the product. We typically realize higher gross margins on manufacturing-based revenue than we do on materials-based revenue. As we gain experiencein manufacturing a product, we usually achieve increased efficiencies, which may result in lower labor and manufacturing overhead costs for that product.Our operating results are impacted by the level of capacity utilization of manufacturing facilities; indirect labor costs; and selling, general and administrativeexpenses. Operating income margins have generally improved during periods of high production volume and high capacity utilization. During periods of lowproduction volume, we generally have idle capacity and reduced operating income margins.We continue to try to monitor the current economic environment and its potential impact on both the customers that we serve as well as our end-markets andclosely manage our costs and capital resources so that we can try to respond appropriately as circumstances continue to change. 32Table of ContentsWe have consistently utilized advanced circuit design, production design and manufacturing technologies to meet the needs of our customers. To support thiseffort, our engineering staff focuses on developing and refining design and manufacturing technologies to meet specific needs of specific customers. Most of theexpenses associated with these customer-specific efforts are reflected in our cost of revenue. In addition, our engineers engage in research and development(“R&D”) of new technologies that apply generally to our operations. The expenses of these R&D activities are reflected in the research and development line itemwithin our Consolidated Statement of Operations.An important element of our strategy is the expansion of our global production facilities. The majority of our revenue and materials costs worldwide aredenominated in U.S. dollars, while our labor and utility costs in operations outside the U.S. are denominated in local currencies. We largely economically hedgecertain of these local currency costs, based on our evaluation of the potential exposure as compared to the cost of the hedge, through the purchase of foreigncurrency exchange contracts. Changes in the fair market value of such hedging instruments are reflected within the Consolidated Statement of Operations and theConsolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. See “Risk Factors – We are subject to risks of currency fluctuations and related hedging operations.”We currently depend, and expect to continue to depend, upon a relatively small number of customers for a significant percentage of our net revenue and upontheir growth, viability and financial stability. A significant reduction in sales to any of our customers, a customer exerting significant pricing and margin pressureson us or the termination or substantial winding down of our business relationship with one of our customers has previously had, and could in the future have, amaterial adverse effect on our results of operations. In the past, some of our customers have terminated their manufacturing arrangements with us or havesignificantly reduced or delayed the volume of design, production or product management services ordered from us, including moving a portion of theirmanufacturing from us in order to more fully utilize their excess internal manufacturing capacity. There can be no assurance that present or future customers willnot terminate their manufacturing arrangements with us or significantly reduce or delay the volume of design, production or product management services orderedfrom us, or move a portion of their manufacturing from us in order to more fully utilize their excess internal manufacturing capacity. We could in the futureterminate, or substantially wind down, significant customer relationships. Any such termination or substantial winding down of a customer or manufacturingrelationship or change, reduction or delay in orders could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. See “Risk Factors –Because we depend on a limited number of customers, a reduction in sales to any one of those customers could cause a significant decline in our revenue,” “RiskFactors – Most of our customers do not commit to long-term production schedules, or they may cancel their orders, change production quantities, delay productionor change their sourcing strategy which makes it difficult for us to schedule production and capital expenditures, and to maximize the efficiency of ourmanufacturing capacity” and Note 13 – “Concentration of Risk and Segment Data” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.Summary of ResultsNet revenues for fiscal year 2016 increased approximately 2.5% to $18.4 billion compared to $17.9 billion for fiscal year 2015 primarily due to increasedrevenues from customers within our mobility business due to strengthened end user product demand during the first half of fiscal year 2016 as well as increasedrevenues from new business with existing customers within our telecommunications business. 33Table of ContentsThe following table sets forth, for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, certain key operating results and other financial information (inthousands, except per share data): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2016 2015 2014 Net revenue $18,353,086 $17,899,196 $15,762,146 Gross profit $1,527,704 $1,503,218 $1,025,603 Operating income $522,833 $555,411 $204,074 Net income attributable to Jabil Circuit, Inc. $254,095 $284,019 $241,313 Net earnings per share - basic $1.33 $1.47 $1.19 Net earnings per share - diluted $1.32 $1.45 $1.19 Key Performance IndicatorsManagement regularly reviews financial and non-financial performance indicators to assess the Company’s operating results. The following table sets forth,for the quarterly periods indicated, certain of management’s key financial performance indicators: Three Months Ended August 31, May 31, February 29, November 30, 2016 2016 2016 2015 Sales cycle 3 days 7 days 13 days 6 days Inventory turns (annualized) 7 turns 7 turns 7 turns 8 turns Days in accounts receivable 28 days 27 days 30 days 29 days Days in inventory 54 days 52 days 51 days 48 days Days in accounts payable 79 days 72 days 68 days 71 days Three Months Ended August 31, May 31, February 28, November 30, 2015 2015 2015 2014 Sales cycle 4 days 1 day 4 days 4 days Inventory turns (annualized) 7 turns 7 turns 7 turns 8 turns Days in accounts receivable 28 days 25 days 27 days 31 days Days in inventory 52 days 51 days 48 days 45 days Days in accounts payable 76 days 75 days 71 days 72 days The sales cycle is calculated as the sum of days in accounts receivable and days in inventory, less the days in accounts payable; accordingly, the variance inthe sales cycle quarter over quarter is a direct result of changes in these indicators. During the three months ended August 31, 2016, May 31, 2016, February 29,2016 and November 30, 2015, the changes in days in accounts receivable from the prior sequential quarter were primarily due to the timing of sales and collectionsactivity as well as cash collection efforts during the third quarter of fiscal year 2016.During the three months ended August 31, 2016, days in inventory increased as compared to the prior sequential quarter to support expected revenue levelsin the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. During the three months ended May 31, 2016 and February 29, 2016, days in inventory increased as compared to the priorsequential quarter as a result of lower production in the DMS segment due to reduced consumer demand in the mobility business. The increase during the threemonths ended February 29, 2016 also supports inventory we expected to sell in the third quarter of fiscal year 2016. During the three months ended November 30,2015, days in inventory decreased as compared to the prior sequential quarter due to increased sales activity. During the three months ended August 31,2016, May 31, 2016, February 29, 2016 and November 30, 2015, inventory turns, on an annualized basis, remained relatively consistent as compared to the priorsequential quarter, respectively.During the three months ended August 31, 2016, the increase in days in accounts payable from the prior sequential quarter was primarily due to the timing ofpurchases and cash payments for purchases and higher materials purchases during the quarter. During the three months ended May 31, 2016, February 29, 2016 andNovember 30, 2015, the changes in days in accounts payable from the prior sequential quarter were primarily due to the timing of purchases and cash payments forpurchases during the respective quarters. The decrease during the three months ended February 29, 2016 is also due to lower materials purchases during the quarter.The changes in the sales cycle during the three months ended August 31, 2016, May 31, 2016, February 29, 2016 and November 30, 2015 are due to thechanges in accounts receivable, accounts payable and inventory that are discussed above. 34Table of ContentsCritical Accounting Policies and EstimatesThe preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S.GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and relateddisclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various otherfactors and circumstances. Management believes that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results may vary fromthese estimates and assumptions under different future circumstances. We have identified the following critical accounting policies that affect the more significantjudgments and estimates used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements. For further discussion of our significant accounting policies, refer toNote 1 — “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.Revenue RecognitionWe derive substantially all of our revenue from production and product management services (collectively referred to as “manufacturing services”), whichencompasses the act of producing tangible components that are built to customer specifications which are then provided to the customer. We recognizemanufacturing services revenue when such tangible components are shipped to or the goods are received by the customer, title and risk of ownership have passed,the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured (net of estimated returns). We also derive revenue to a lesser extent fromelectronic design services to certain customers. Revenue from electronic design services is generally recognized upon completion and acceptance by the respectivecustomer. Upfront payments from customers are recorded upon receipt as deferred income and are recognized as revenue as the related manufacturing services areprovided.Allowance for Doubtful AccountsWe maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts related to receivables not expected to be collected from our customers. This allowance is based onmanagement’s assessment of specific customer balances, considering the age of receivables and financial stability of the customer. If there is an adverse change inthe financial condition and circumstances of our customers, or if actual defaults are higher than provided for, an addition to the allowance may be necessary.Inventory ValuationWe purchase inventory based on forecasted demand and record inventory at the lower of cost or market. Management regularly assesses inventory valuationbased on current and forecasted usage, customer inventory-related contractual obligations and other lower of cost or market considerations. If actual marketconditions or our customers’ product demands are less favorable than those projected, additional valuation adjustments may be necessary.Long-Lived AssetsWe review property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that thecarrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of property, plant and equipment is measured by comparing its carrying value to theundiscounted projected cash flows that the asset(s) or asset group(s) are expected to generate. If the carrying amount of an asset or an asset group is notrecoverable, we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group over its respective fair value, whichis generally determined as either the present value of estimated future cash flows or the appraised value. The impairment analysis is based on significantassumptions of future results made by management, including revenue and cash flow projections. Circumstances that may lead to impairment of property, plant andequipment include unforeseen decreases in future performance or industry demand and the restructuring of our operations resulting from a change in our businessstrategy or adverse economic conditions. For further discussion of our current restructuring program, refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of FinancialCondition and Results of Operations – Results of Operations – Restructuring and Related Charges.”We have recorded intangible assets, including goodwill, in connection with business acquisitions. Estimated useful lives of amortizable intangible assets aredetermined by management based on an assessment of the period over which the asset is expected to contribute to future cash flows. The fair value of acquiredamortizable intangible assets impacts the amounts recorded as goodwill.We perform a goodwill impairment analysis using the two-step method on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that thecarrying value may not be recoverable. The recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount,including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. We determine the fair value of our reporting units based on an average weighting of both projecteddiscounted future results and the use of comparative market multiples. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is consideredimpaired and a second test is performed to measure the amount of loss, if any. 35Table of ContentsWe perform an indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment analysis on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that thecarrying value may not be recoverable. The recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount to the fair value. Wedetermine the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets principally based on a variation of the income approach, known as the relief from royalty method.If the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is considered impaired.We completed our annual impairment test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016 and determined thatthe fair values of our reporting units and the indefinite-lived intangible assets are substantially in excess of the carrying values and that no impairment existed as ofthe date of the impairment test.Retirement BenefitsWe have pension and postretirement benefit costs and liabilities in certain foreign locations that are developed from actuarial valuations. Actuarial valuationsrequire management to make certain judgments and estimates of discount rates, compensation rate increases and return on plan assets. We evaluate theseassumptions on a regular basis taking into consideration current market conditions and historical market data. The discount rate is used to state expected future cashflows at a present value on the measurement date. This rate represents the market rate for high-quality fixed income investments. A lower discount rate increasesthe present value of benefit obligations and increases pension expense. When considering the expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets, we take intoaccount current and expected asset allocations, as well as historical and expected returns on plan assets. Other assumptions include demographic factors such asretirement, mortality and turnover. For further discussion of our pension and postretirement benefits, refer to Note 10 – “Postretirement and Other EmployeeBenefits” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.Income TaxesWe estimate our income tax provision in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate, a process that includes estimating exposures related to examinationsby taxing authorities. We must also make judgments regarding the ability to realize the deferred tax assets. The carrying value of our net deferred tax assets is basedon our belief that it is more likely than not that we will generate sufficient future taxable income in certain jurisdictions to realize these deferred tax assets. Avaluation allowance has been established for deferred tax assets that we do not believe meet the “more likely than not” criteria. We assess whether an uncertain taxposition taken or expected to be taken in a tax return meets the threshold for recognition and measurement in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Our judgmentsregarding future taxable income as well as tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return may change due to changes in market conditions, changes intax laws or other factors. If our assumptions and consequently our estimates change in the future, the valuation allowances and/or tax reserves established may beincreased or decreased, resulting in a respective increase or decrease in income tax expense.The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) completed its field examination of our tax returns for fiscal years 2009 through 2011 and issued a Revenue Agent’sReport on May 27, 2015, which was updated on June 22, 2016, proposing adjustments primarily related to U.S. taxation of certain intercompany transactions. If theIRS ultimately prevails in its positions, our income tax payment due for the fiscal years 2009 through 2011 would be approximately $28.6 million after utilizationof tax loss carry forwards available through fiscal year 2011. Also, the IRS has proposed interest and penalties with respect to fiscal years 2009 through 2011. TheIRS may make similar claims in future audits with respect to these types of transactions. At this time, anticipating the amount of any future IRS proposedadjustments, interest, and penalties is not practicable.We disagree with the proposed adjustments and intend to vigorously contest these matters through the applicable IRS administrative and judicial procedures,as appropriate. As the final resolution of the proposed adjustments remains uncertain, we continue to provide for the uncertain tax positions based on the morelikely than not standard. While the resolution of the issues may result in tax liabilities, interest and penalties, which are significantly higher than the amountsprovided for these matters, management currently believes that the resolution will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operationsor cash flows. Despite this belief, an unfavorable resolution, particularly if the IRS successfully asserts similar claims for later years, could have a material adverseeffect on our results of operations and financial condition. For further discussion related to our income taxes, refer to Note 5 — “Income Taxes” to theConsolidated Financial Statements and “Risk Factors — We are subject to the risk of increased taxes.”Recent Accounting PronouncementsSee Note 17 – “New Accounting Guidance” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recent accounting guidance. 36Table of ContentsResults of OperationsThe following table sets forth, for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, certain statements of operations data expressed as a percentage ofnet revenue: Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2016 2015 2014 Net revenue 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of revenue 91.7 91.6 93.5 Gross profit 8.3 8.4 6.5 Operating expenses: Selling, general and administrative 5.0 4.8 4.3 Research and development 0.2 0.2 0.2 Amortization of intangibles 0.2 0.1 0.2 Restructuring and related charges 0.1 0.2 0.5 Loss on disposal of subsidiaries — — 0.1 Operating income 2.8 3.1 1.2 Other expense 0.0 0.0 0.0 Interest income (0.0) (0.1) (0.0) Interest expense 0.7 0.7 0.8 Income from continuing operations before tax 2.1 2.5 0.4 Income tax expense 0.7 0.8 0.5 Income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax 1.4 1.7 (0.1) Discontinued operations: (Loss) income from discontinued operations, net of tax — (0.0) 0.1 (Loss) gain on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax — (0.0) 1.4 Discontinued operations, net of tax — — 1.5 Net income 1.4 1.7 1.4 Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, net of tax 0.0 — 0.0 Net income attributable to Jabil Circuit, Inc. 1.4% 1.7% 1.4% The Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2016 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2015Net Revenue. Net revenue increased 2.5% to $18.4 billion during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016, compared to $17.9 billion during the fiscal yearended August 31, 2015. Specifically, the DMS segment revenues increased 3% due to increased revenues from customers within our mobility business due tostrengthened end user product demand during the first half of fiscal year 2016. EMS segment revenues increased 2% due to a 3% increase in revenues from newbusiness with existing customers within our telecommunications business, partially offset by a 1% revenue decline spread across the remaining industries withinthe EMS segment.Generally, we assess revenue on a global customer basis regardless of whether the growth is associated with organic growth or as a result of an acquisition.Accordingly, we do not differentiate or report separately revenue increases generated by acquisitions as opposed to existing business. In addition, the added coststructures associated with our acquisitions have historically been relatively insignificant when compared to our overall cost structure.The distribution of revenue across our segments has fluctuated, and will continue to fluctuate, as a result of numerous factors, including but not limited to thefollowing: fluctuations in customer demand as a result of recessionary and other conditions, such as the less than anticipated product demand that we experiencedwithin our DMS segment that impacted our second, third and fourth fiscal quarters; efforts to de-emphasize the economic performance of certain portions of ourbusiness; seasonality in our business; business growth from new and existing customers; specific product performance; and any potential termination, or substantialwinding down, of significant customer relationships.On April 1, 2014, we completed the sale of our Aftermarket Services (“AMS”) business except for the Malaysian operations, for which the sale wascompleted on December 31, 2014. The AMS business was included in the DMS segment, and the results of operations of this business are classifiedas discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 2 – “Discontinued Operations” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details. 37Table of ContentsThe following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, revenue by segment expressed as a percentage of net revenue: Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2016 2015 2014 EMS 60% 60% 67% DMS 40% 40% 33% Total 100% 100% 100% Foreign source revenue represented 90.7% of our net revenue for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016 and 88.0% of net revenue for the fiscal year endedAugust 31, 2015. We currently expect our foreign source revenue to remain relatively consistent as compared to current levels over the course of the next 12months.Gross Profit . Gross profit remained relatively consistent at $1.5 billion (8.3% of net revenue) during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016, compared to$1.5 billion (8.4% of net revenue) during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015.Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $924.4 million (5.0% of net revenue) during the fiscal yearended August 31, 2016, compared to $862.6 million (4.8% of net revenue) during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015. Selling, general and administrativeexpenses as a percentage of net revenue remained relatively consistent with the same period of the prior fiscal year. Selling, general and administrative expenses ona gross basis increased during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016 as compared to the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015 primarily due increases in salary andsalary related expenses and other costs due to increased headcount to support the continued growth of our business.Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased to $32.0 million (0.2% of net revenue) during the fiscal year ended August 31,2016, compared to $27.6 million (0.2% of net revenue) during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015 primarily as the result of new projects in targeted growthsectors.Amortization of Intangibles. Amortization of intangibles increased to $37.1 million during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016 as compared to $24.4million during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015. The increase is due to the definite lived intangible assets acquired in connection with the Plasticos acquisitionthat occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015 and the acquisitions of Shemer, Inala and Hanson that occurred during the first and second quarters of fiscalyear 2016, respectively.Restructuring and Related Charges.2013 Restructuring PlanIn conjunction with the 2013 Restructuring Plan, we charged $11.4 million of restructuring and related charges to the Consolidated Statements of Operationsduring the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016 compared to $34.6 million during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015. The 2013 Restructuring Plan is intended tobetter align our manufacturing capacity in certain geographies and to reduce our worldwide workforce in order to reduce operating expenses. The restructuring andrelated charges during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2016 and 2015 include cash costs of $8.8 million and $24.3 million related to employee severance andbenefit costs, respectively, $0.0 million and $2.8 million related to lease costs, respectively, and $1.4 million and $1.9 million of other related costs, respectively, aswell as non-cash costs of $1.2 million and $5.6 million related to asset write-off costs, respectively.During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016, $22.7 million was paid related to the 2013 Restructuring Plan. At August 31, 2016, accrued liabilities ofapproximately $17.5 million related to the 2013 Restructuring Plan are expected to be paid over the next twelve months.Upon its completion, the 2013 Restructuring Plan is expected to yield annualized cost savings of approximately $76.8 million. The expected avoided annualcosts consist of a reduction in employee related expenses of $72.5 million, a reduction in depreciation expense associated with asset disposals of $3.1 million, and areduction in rent expense associated with leased buildings that have been vacated of approximately $1.2 million. The majority of these annual cost savings areexpected to be reflected as a reduction in cost of revenue as well as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expense. These annual costs savings areexpected to be partially offset by decreased revenues and incremental costs expected to be incurred by those plants to which certain production will be shifted.After considering these partial cost savings offsets, we expect to realize annual cost savings of approximately $65.0 million.For further discussion of restructuring and related charges related to the 2013 Restructuring Plan, refer to Note 15 – “Restructuring and Related Charges” tothe Consolidated Financial Statements. 38Table of ContentsOther Expense. Other expense increased to $8.4 million for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016 compared to $5.6 million for the fiscal year endedAugust 31, 2015. The increase is primarily due to an increase in fees associated with the asset-backed securitization programs as a result of an increase inreceivables sold.Interest Income. Interest income remained relatively consistent at $9.1 million during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016, compared to $10.0 millionduring the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015.Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $136.5 million during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016, compared to $128.1 million during the fiscalyear ended August 31, 2015. The increase is due to interest expense associated with the Term Loan Facility entered into on July 6, 2015.Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense reflects an effective tax rate of 34.1% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016, compared to an effective tax rateof 31.8% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015.The effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016 increased from the effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015 primarily dueto the decrease in income from continuing operations in low tax-rate jurisdictions and the increase in losses in tax jurisdictions with existing valuation allowancesduring fiscal year 2016. This effective tax rate increase was partially offset by tax benefits from favorable tax audit resolutions and statute of limitation expirationsin non-U.S. jurisdictions during fiscal year 2016.Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2015 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2014Net Revenue. Net revenue increased 13.6% to $17.9 billion during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015, compared to $15.8 billion during the fiscal yearended August 31, 2014. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015 compared to the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014, DMS segment revenues increased 39% as aresult of increased revenues of 35% from customers within our mobility business due to strengthened end user product demand and 5% growth in the consumerlifestyles and wearables technology businesses, partially offset by a 1% decline spread across the remaining industries within the DMS segment. EMS segmentrevenues increased 1%, which was attributable to increased revenues of 6% from new business with customers within our telecommunications and automotivebusinesses, partially offset by reductions in revenue of 5% predominantly from the sale of mobility handsets as a result of our disengagement from BlackBerryLimited.Foreign source revenue represented 88.0% of our net revenue for fiscal year 2015 and 84.5% of net revenue for fiscal year 2014.For further discussion of our net revenues, refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Results ofOperations — Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2016 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2015 — Net Revenue.”Gross Profit . Gross profit increased to $1.5 billion (8.4% of net revenue) during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015, compared to $1.0 billion (6.5% ofnet revenue) during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014. The increase in gross profit on an absolute basis and as a percentage of net revenue is primarily due toincreased revenue from certain of our existing customers within the DMS segment, as well as an increased focus on controlling costs and improving productivity.Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $862.6 million (4.8% of net revenue) for fiscal year 2015compared to $675.7 million (4.3% of net revenue) for fiscal year 2014. The increase on an absolute basis and as a percentage of net revenue during fiscal year 2015as compared to fiscal year 2014 was the result of an increase in salary and salary related expenses and other costs due to increased headcount to support thecontinued growth of our business, as well as a $45.8 million reversal to stock-based compensation expense during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 due todecreased expectations for the vesting of certain restricted stock awards.Research and Development. Research and development expenses remained relatively consistent at $27.6 million (0.2% of net revenue) for the fiscal yearended August 31, 2015, compared to $28.6 million (0.2% of net revenue) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014.Amortization of Intangibles. Amortization of intangibles remained relatively consistent at $24.4 million during fiscal year 2015 as compared to $23.9million during fiscal year 2014. 39Table of ContentsRestructuring and Related Charges.a. 2014 Restructuring PlanDuring fiscal year 2014, we recorded $49.9 million of restructuring and related charges related to the 2014 Restructuring Plan. We have completed our restructuring activities under thisplan and do not expect to incur any additional costs under the 2014 Restructuring Plan.b. 2013 Restructuring PlanIn conjunction with the 2013 Restructuring Plan, we charged $34.6 million of restructuring and related charges to the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the fiscal year endedAugust 31, 2015 compared to $35.4 million during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014. The restructuring and related charges during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014 includecash costs of $24.3 million and $25.0 million related to employee severance and benefit costs, respectively, $2.8 million and $0.5 million related to lease costs, respectively, and $1.9 million and$1.3 million of other related costs, respectively, as well as non-cash costs of $5.6 million and $8.6 million related to asset write-off costs, respectively.For further discussion of restructuring and related charges related to the 2013 Restructuring Plan, refer to Note 15 – “Restructuring and Related Charges” to the Consolidated FinancialStatements.Other Expense. Other expense decreased to $5.6 million for fiscal year 2015 compared to $7.6 million for fiscal year 2014. The decrease was primarily due to a step acquisition gain of$6.2 million on a previously held equity interest investment offset by a loss associated with a cost method investment.Interest Income. We recorded interest income of $10.0 million in fiscal year 2015, compared to $3.7 million in fiscal year 2014. The increase was primarily due to dividends (which aretreated as interest income) on the Senior Non-Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock received in connection with the sale of the AMS business on April 1, 2014.Interest Expense. Interest expense remained consistent at $128.1 million for each of fiscal years 2015 and 2014.Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense reflects an effective tax rate of 31.8% for fiscal year 2015, compared to an effective tax rate of 102.2% for fiscal year 2014.The effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015 decreased from the effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 primarily due to the increase in income fromcontinuing operations in low tax-rate jurisdictions during fiscal year 2015. This effective tax rate decrease was partially offset by the tax benefit from revaluing deferred tax assets related to theenactment of the Mexico 2014 tax reform during fiscal year 2014, the reversal of stock-based compensation expense with minimal related tax expense during fiscal year 2014, and a partialvaluation allowance release related to the U.S. deferred tax assets during fiscal year 2014.Non-U.S. GAAP Core Financial MeasuresThe following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations include certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures as identified in the reconciliation below. Thenon-U.S. GAAP financial measures disclosed herein do not have standard meaning and may vary from the non-U.S. GAAP financial measures used by other companies or how we may calculatethose measures in other instances from time to time. Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared inaccordance with U.S. GAAP. Also, our “core” financial measures should not be construed as an inference by us that our future results will be unaffected by those items which are excluded fromour “core” financial measures.Management believes that the non-U.S. GAAP “core” financial measures set forth below are useful to facilitate evaluating the past and future performance of our ongoing manufacturingoperations over multiple periods on a comparable basis by excluding the effects of the amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense and related charges, restructuring andrelated charges, distressed customer charges, acquisition costs and certain purchase accounting adjustments, loss on disposal of subsidiaries, settlement of receivables and related charges,impairment of notes receivable and related charges, goodwill impairment charges, income (loss) from discontinued operations, gain (loss) on sale of discontinued operations and certain otherexpenses, net of tax and certain deferred tax valuation allowance charges. Among other uses, management uses non-U.S. GAAP “core” financial measures to make operating decisions, assessbusiness performance and as a factor in determining certain employee performance when determining incentive compensation.We are reporting “core” operating income and “core” earnings to provide investors with an additional method for assessing operating income and earnings, by presenting what we believeare our “core” manufacturing operations. A significant portion (based on the respective values) of the items that are excluded for purposes of calculating “core” operating income and “core”earnings also impacted certain balance sheet assets, resulting in a portion of an asset being written off without a corresponding recovery of cash we may have previously spent with respect to theasset. In the case of restructuring and related charges, we may be making associated cash payments in the future. In addition, although, for purposes of calculating “core” operating income and“core” earnings, we exclude stock-based compensation expense (which we anticipate continuing to incur in the future) because it is a non-cash expense, the associated stock issued may result inan increase in our outstanding shares of stock, which may result in the dilution of our stockholders’ ownership interest. We encourage you to evaluate these items and the limitations for purposesof analysis in excluding them. 40Table of ContentsIncluded in the table below is a reconciliation of the non-U.S. GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures asprovided in our Consolidated Financial Statements (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2016 2015 2014 Operating income (U.S. GAAP) $522,833 $555,411 $204,074 Amortization of intangibles 37,121 24,449 23,857 Stock-based compensation expense and related charges 58,997 62,563 8,994 Restructuring and related charges 11,369 33,066 85,369 Distressed customer charges — — 15,113 Acquisition costs and certain purchase accounting adjustments — (5,480)(a) — Loss on disposal of subsidiaries — — 7,962 Core operating income (Non-U.S. GAAP) $630,320 $670,009 $345,369 Net income attributable to Jabil Circuit, Inc.

Acquisitions are accounted for as business combinations using the acquisitionmethod of accounting. Our Consolidated Financial Statements include the operating results of each business from the date of acquisition. See “Risk Factors – Wehave on occasion not achieved, and may not in the future achieve, expected profitability from our acquisitions.”SeasonalityProduction levels for a portion of the DMS segment are subject to seasonal influences. We may realize greater net revenue during our first fiscal quarter dueto higher demand for consumer related products manufactured in the DMS segment during the holiday selling season.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesAt August 31, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalent balances totaling $912.1 million, total notes payable, long-term debt and capital lease obligations of$2.1 billion, $1.9 billion in available liquidity under our revolving credit facilities and up to $289.9 million in available liquidity under our trade accountsreceivable securitization and uncommitted sale programs. We can offer no assurance under the uncommitted sales programs that if we attempt to sell receivablesthrough such programs in the future that we will receive funding from the associated banks which would require us to utilize other available sources of liquidity,including our revolving credit facilities. 43Table of ContentsCash FlowsThe following table sets forth, for the fiscal years ended August 31 selected consolidated cash flow information (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2016 2015 2014 Net cash provided by operating activities $916,207 $1,240,528 $499,639 Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities (1,179,981) (1,121,447) 60,667 Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities 253,512 (162,795) (577,601) Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents 8,358 (42,572) 6,171 Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents $(1,904) $(86,286) $(11,124) Net cash provided by operating activities during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016 was approximately $916.2 million. This resulted primarily from netincome of $254.9 million, $696.8 million in non-cash depreciation and amortization expense, a $122.1 million decrease in accounts receivable, $68.0 milliondecrease in inventories and $59.0 million of recognized stock-based compensation expense and related charges; which were partially offset by a $194.3 millionincrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets and a $86.1 million decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities. The decrease inaccounts receivable is primarily driven by the reduced consumer demand in the mobility business in the second half of fiscal year 2016, coupled with cashcollection efforts. The decrease in inventories was primarily due to lower production in the DMS segment in the second half of fiscal year 2016 as compared tofiscal year 2015 due to reduced consumer demand in the mobility business. The increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets was primarily due to increasesin the deferred purchase price receivable under our asset-backed securitization programs due to an increase in receivables sold to the unaffiliated conduits andfinancial institutions, advanced deposits and an increase in value-added tax receivables. The decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilitieswas primarily driven by the timing of purchases and cash payments and lower materials purchases associated with lower sales levels in the DMS segment in thesecond half of fiscal year 2016 as compared to fiscal year 2015 due to reduced consumer demand in the mobility business.Net cash used in investing activities during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016 was $1.2 billion. This consisted primarily of capital expenditures of $924.2million principally for machinery and equipment for new business particularly within our DMS segment, maintenance levels of machinery and equipment andinformation technology infrastructure upgrades, $242.1 million of cash paid for business and intangible asset acquisitions, net of cash received and $29.4 million ofcash paid for the issuance of notes receivable.Net cash provided by financing activities during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016 was $253.5 million. This resulted from our receipt of approximately$6.9 billion of proceeds from borrowings under existing debt agreements, which primarily included an aggregate of $5.8 billion of borrowings under the RevolvingCredit Facility, $500.0 million under the Term Loan Facility, $310.1 million under credit facilities with foreign subsidiaries and $300.0 million under the 4.900%Senior Notes, as well as $20.9 million of net proceeds from the exercise of stock options and issuance of common stock under the employee stock purchase plan.This was offset by repayments in an aggregate amount of approximately $6.4 billion, which primarily included an aggregate of $5.8 billion of repayments under theRevolving Credit Facility, $310.3 million under credit facilities with foreign subsidiaries and $312.0 million for the payment of the outstanding balance on the7.750% Senior Notes. In addition, during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016 we paid $148.3 million, including commissions, to repurchase 7,690,387 of ourcommon shares, we paid $62.4 million in dividends to stockholders and we paid $10.7 million (the equivalent of 462,900 of our common shares) to the IRS onbehalf of certain employees to satisfy minimum tax obligations related to the vesting of certain restricted stock awards (as consideration for these payments to theIRS, we withheld $10.7 million of employee-owned common stock related to this vesting).SourcesWe may need to finance day-to-day working capital needs, as well as future growth and any corresponding working capital needs, with additionalborrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and our other revolving credit facilities described below, as well as additional public and private offerings of ourdebt and equity. Currently, we have a shelf registration statement with the SEC registering the potential sale of an indeterminate amount of debt and equitysecurities in the future, from time-to-time over the three years following the registration, to augment our liquidity and capital resources. The current shelfregistration statement will expire in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 at which time we currently anticipate filing a new shelf registration statement. Any futuresale or issuance of equity or convertible debt securities could result in dilution to current or future shareholders. Further, we may issue debt securities that haverights and privileges senior to those of holders of ordinary shares, and the terms of this debt could impose restrictions on operations, increase debt serviceobligations, limit our flexibility as a result of debt service requirements and restrictive covenants, potentially negatively affect our credit ratings, and limit ourability to access additional capital or execute our business strategy. We continue to assess our capital structure and evaluate the merits of redeploying available cashto reduce existing debt or repurchase common shares. 44Table of ContentsWe regularly sell designated pools of trade accounts receivable under two asset-backed securitization programs and three uncommitted trade accountsreceivable sale programs (collectively referred to herein as the “programs”). Transfers of the receivables under the programs are accounted for as sales and,accordingly, net receivables sold under the programs are excluded from accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reflected as cash providedby operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Discussion of each of the programs is included in the following paragraphs. In addition, referto Note 3 – “Trade Accounts Receivable Securitization and Sale Programs” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the programs.Also, as described in Note 2 – “Discontinued Operations” to the Consolidated Financial Statements, on April 1, 2014, we completed the sale of our AMSbusiness except for the Malaysian operations, for which the sale was completed on December 31, 2014. We completed these sales for consideration of $725.0million, which consisted of $675.0 million in cash and an aggregate liquidation preference value of $50.0 million in Senior Non-Convertible Cumulative PreferredStock of iQor that accretes dividends at an annual rate of 8 percent and is redeemable in nine years or upon a change in control.a. Asset-Backed Securitization ProgramsWe continuously sell designated pools of trade accounts receivable under our asset-backed securitization programs to special purpose entities, which in turnsell 100% of the receivables to conduits administered by unaffiliated financial institutions (for the North American asset-backed securitization program) and to anunaffiliated financial institution and a conduit administered by an unaffiliated financial institution (for the foreign asset-backed securitization program). Anyportion of the purchase price for the receivables which is not paid in cash upon the sale taking place is recorded as a deferred purchase price receivable, which ispaid from available cash as payments on the receivables are collected. Net cash proceeds up to a maximum of $200.0 million for the North American asset-backedsecuritization program, currently scheduled to expire on October 20, 2017, are available at any one time. Net cash proceeds up to a maximum of $275.0 million forthe foreign asset-backed securitization program, currently scheduled to expire on May 1, 2018, are available at any one time. The foreign asset-backedsecuritization program was amended to increase the facility limit from $175.0 million to $275.0 million, effective May 20, 2016.In connection with our asset-backed securitization programs, at August 31, 2016, we sold $1.0 billion of eligible trade accounts receivable, which representsthe face amount of total sold outstanding receivables at that date. In exchange, we received cash proceeds of $475.0 million and a deferred purchase pricereceivable. At August 31, 2016, the deferred purchase price receivable in connection with the asset-backed securitization programs totaled $527.3 million. Thedeferred purchase price receivable was recorded initially at fair value as prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.b. Trade Accounts Receivable Sale ProgramsIn connection with three separate trade accounts receivable sale programs with unaffiliated financial institutions, we may elect to sell, at a discount, on anongoing basis, up to a maximum of $650.0 million, $150.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively, of specific trade accounts receivable at any one time. The$650.0 million trade accounts receivable sale program is an uncommitted facility that was amended during the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 to increase theuncommitted capacity from $450.0 million to $650.0 million and to extend the expiration date to November 1, 2016, although any party may elect to terminate theagreement upon 15 days prior notice. The $650.0 million trade accounts receivable sale program will be automatically extended each year until August 31, 2017,unless any party gives no less than 30 days prior notice that the agreement should not be extended. The $150.0 million trade accounts receivable sale program is anuncommitted facility that is subject to expiration on August 31, 2017 (as the agreement was extended on August 28, 2016). The $100.0 million trade accountsreceivable sale program is an uncommitted facility that is scheduled to expire on November 1, 2016 (as the agreement was automatically extended on November 1,2015), although any party may elect to terminate the agreement upon 15 days prior notice. The $100.0 million trade accounts receivable sale program will beautomatically extended each year until November 1, 2018, unless any party gives no less than 30 days prior notice that the agreement should not be extended.During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016, we sold $3.7 billion of trade accounts receivable under these programs and we received cash proceeds of $3.6billion. 45Table of ContentsNotes payable, long-term debt and capital lease obligations outstanding at August 31, 2016 and 2015 are summarized below (in thousands): August 31, August 31, 2016 2015 7.750% Senior Notes due 2016 $— $309,511 8.250% Senior Notes due 2018 398,552 397,599 5.625% Senior Notes due 2020 396,212 395,321 4.700% Senior Notes due 2022 496,041 495,387 4.900% Senior Notes due 2023 298,329 — Borrowings under credit facilities — 323 Borrowings under loans 502,210 30,410 Capital lease obligations 28,478 28,156 Fair value adjustment related to terminated interest rate swaps on the 7.750% Senior Notes — 2,077 Total notes payable, long-term debt and capital lease obligations 2,119,822 1,658,784 Less current installments of notes payable, long-term debt and capital lease obligations 45,810 322,966 Notes payable, long-term debt and capital lease obligations, less current installments $2,074,012 $1,335,818 Refer to Note 9 – “Notes Payable, Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.Under our 8.250%, 5.625% and 4.700% Senior Notes, we are subject to covenants such as limitations on our and/or our subsidiaries’ ability to: consolidateor merge with, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our assets to, another person; create certain liens; enter into sale and leaseback transactions;create, incur, issue, assume or guarantee funded debt (which only applies to our “restricted subsidiaries”); and guarantee any of our indebtedness (which onlyapplies to our subsidiaries). We are also subject to a covenant requiring our repurchase of our 8.250%, 5.625% or 4.700% Senior Notes upon a “change of controlrepurchase event.”The asset-backed securitization programs require compliance with several covenants. The North American asset-backed securitization program covenantsinclude compliance with the interest coverage ratio and debt to EBITDA ratio of the Credit Facility. The foreign asset-backed securitization program covenantsinclude limitations on certain corporate actions such as mergers and consolidations. At August 31, 2016 and 2015, we were in compliance with all covenants underour debt agreements and our asset-backed securitization programs.UsesAt August 31, 2016, we had approximately $912.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. As our growth remains predominantly outside of the United States, asignificant portion of such cash and cash equivalents are held by our foreign subsidiaries. We estimate that approximately $783.5 million of the cash and cashequivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries could not be repatriated to the United States without potential income tax consequences.As of August 31, 2016, however, we intend to repatriate the Nypro pre-acquisition undistributed foreign earnings of approximately $181.1 million to ourU.S. operations. Therefore, we continue to record a deferred tax liability of approximately $80.0 million based on the anticipated U.S. income taxes of therepatriation. We repatriated $225.3 million of current year foreign earnings to our U.S. operations during fiscal year 2016, which had no income statement impactdue to the U.S. current year operating loss and the U.S. valuation allowance. We intend to indefinitely reinvest the remaining earnings from our foreignsubsidiaries.For discussion of our cash management and risk management policies see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”We currently anticipate that during the next 12 months, our capital expenditures, which do not include any amounts spent on acquisitions, will be in therange of $500.0 million to $600.0 million, principally to support ongoing business in the DMS and EMS segments. The amounts used to fund such capitalexpenditures will not be available to be deployed elsewhere by us. We believe that our level of resources, which include cash on hand, available borrowings underour revolving credit facilities, additional proceeds available under our trade accounts receivable securitization programs and potentially available under ouruncommitted trade accounts receivable sale programs and funds provided by operations, will be adequate to fund these capital expenditures, the payment of anydeclared quarterly dividends, any potential acquisitions and our working capital requirements for the next 12 months. 46Table of ContentsOur 7.750% Senior Notes of $312.0 million matured on July 15, 2016. The proceeds from the sale of the 4.900% Senior Notes were used to repay the7.750% Senior Notes.In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $100.0 million of our common shares during the twelve monthperiod following their authorization. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, we repurchased 2.8 million shares for approximately $54.5 million, which utilizedthe remaining amount outstanding of the $100.0 million authorized by our Board of Directors.In June 2016, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $400.0 million of our common shares. The share repurchase program expires onAugust 31, 2017. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, we repurchased 4.9 million shares, which utilized $93.7 million of the $400.0 million authorized byour Board of Directors. In addition, following the end of fiscal year 2016 through October 6, 2016, we repurchased an additional 1.4 million shares, utilizing a totalof $124.6 million of the $400.0 million authorized by our Board of Directors.On October 14, 2015, January 21, 2016, April 21, 2016 and July 21, 2016, our Board of Directors approved payment of a quarterly dividend of $0.08 pershare to shareholders of record as of November 16, 2015, February 16, 2016, May 16, 2016 and August 15, 2016. Of the total cash dividend declared onOctober 14, 2015 of $15.9 million, $15.2 million was paid on December 1, 2015. The remaining $0.7 million is related to dividend equivalents on unvestedrestricted stock units that will be payable at the time the awards vest. Of the total cash dividend declared on January 21, 2016 of $15.9 million, $15.3 million waspaid on March 1, 2016. The remaining $0.6 million is related to dividend equivalents on unvested restricted stock units that will be payable at the time the awardsvest. Of the total cash dividend declared on April 21, 2016 of $15.9 million, $15.3 million was paid on June 1, 2016. The remaining $0.6 million is related todividend equivalents on unvested restricted stock units that will be payable at the time the awards vest. Of the total cash dividend declared on July 21, 2016 of$15.6 million, $15.0 million was paid on September 1, 2016. The remaining $0.6 million is related to dividend equivalents on unvested restricted stock units thatwill be payable at the time the awards vest. We currently expect to continue to declare and pay regular quarterly dividends of an amount similar to our pastdeclarations. However, the declaration and payment of future dividends are discretionary and will be subject to determination by our Board of Directors eachquarter following its review of our financial performance.Our $200.0 million North American asset-backed securitization program is scheduled to expire on October 20, 2017, and our $275.0 million foreign asset-backed securitization program is scheduled to expire on May 1, 2018. We may be unable to renew either of these programs. We can offer no assurance under the$650.0 million, $150.0 million or the $100.0 million uncommitted sales programs that if we attempt to sell receivables under such programs in the future that wewill receive funding from the associated banks which would require us to utilize other available sources of liquidity, including our revolving credit facilities.Our working capital requirements and capital expenditures could continue to increase in order to support future expansions of our operations throughconstruction of greenfield operations or acquisitions. It is possible that future expansions may be significant and may require the payment of cash. Future liquidityneeds will also depend on fluctuations in levels of inventory and shipments, changes in customer order volumes and timing of expenditures for new equipment.Should we desire to consummate significant additional acquisition opportunities or undertake significant additional expansion activities, our capital needswould increase and could possibly result in our need to increase available borrowings under our revolving credit facilities or access public or private debt andequity markets. There can be no assurance, however, that we would be successful in raising additional debt or equity on terms that we would consider acceptable.See “Risk Factors – Our amount of debt could significantly increase in the future.”Contractual ObligationsOur contractual obligations for short and long-term debt arrangements and capital lease obligations; future interest on notes payable, long-term debt andcapital lease obligations; future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating lease arrangements; non-cancelable purchase order obligations forproperty, plant and equipment; and pension and postretirement contributions and payments as of August 31, 2016 are summarized below. While, as disclosedbelow, we have certain non-cancelable purchase order obligations for property, plant and equipment, we generally do not enter into non-cancelable purchase ordersfor materials until we receive a corresponding purchase commitment from our customer. Non-cancelable purchase orders do not typically extend beyond thenormal lead time of several weeks at most. Purchase orders beyond this time frame are typically cancelable. 47Table of Contents Payments due by period (in thousands) Less than 1 Total year 1-3 years 4-5 years After 5 years Notes payable, long-term debt and capital lease obligations $2,119,822 $45,810 $495,176 $762,026 $816,810 Future interest on notes payable, long-term debt and capital lease obligations (a) 446,160 106,390 161,800 116,020 61,950 Operating lease obligations 557,712 109,168 154,504 112,463 181,577 Non-cancelable purchase order obligations (b) 149,051 134,996 14,055 — — Pension and postretirement contributions and payments (c) 10,447 3,855 922 1,331 4,339 Total contractual cash obligations (d) $3,283,192 $400,219 $826,457 $991,840 $1,064,676 (a) Certain of our notes payable and long-term debt pay interest at variable rates.

These future payments are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets but will be recordedas incurred.(d) At August 31, 2016, we have $2.5 million and $90.8 million recorded as a current and a long-term liability, respectively, for uncertain tax positions. We arenot able to reasonably estimate the timing of payments, or the amount by which our liability for these uncertain tax positions will increase or decrease overtime, and accordingly, this liability has been excluded from the above table. Item 7A.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market RiskForeign Currency Exchange RisksWe transact business in various foreign countries and are, therefore, subject to risk of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We enter into forwardcontracts to economically hedge transactional exposure associated with commitments arising from trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, intercompanytransactions and fixed purchase obligations denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective operating entity. We do not, and do notintend to use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. All derivative instruments are recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at theirrespective fair values. At August 31, 2016, except for certain foreign currency contracts with a notional amount outstanding of $323.3 million and a fair value of$0.4 million recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $2.0 million recorded in accrued expenses, the forward contracts have not been designated asaccounting hedges and, therefore, changes in fair value are recorded within our Consolidated Statements of Operations.The aggregate notional amount of outstanding contracts at August 31, 2016 that are not designated as accounting hedges was $1.7 billion. The fair values ofthese contracts amounted to a $3.9 million asset recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets and a $10.8 million liability recorded to accrued expenses onour Consolidated Balance Sheets.The forward contracts (both those that are designated as accounting hedging instruments and those that are not) will generally expire in less than threemonths, with ten months being the maximum term of the contracts outstanding at August 31, 2016. The change in fair value related to contracts designated asaccounting hedging instruments will be reflected in the revenue or expense line in which the underlying transaction occurs within our Consolidated Statements ofOperations. The change in fair value related to contracts not designated as accounting hedging instruments will be reflected in cost of revenue within ourConsolidated Statements of Operations. The forward contracts are denominated in Brazilian reais, British pounds, Chinese yuan renminbi, Euros, Hungarianforints, Indian rupees, Japanese yen, Malaysian ringgits, Mexican pesos, Polish zlotys, Russian rubles, South African rand, Swedish krona, Swiss francs, Taiwandollars and U.S. dollars.Based on our overall currency rate exposures as of August 31, 2016, including the derivative financial instruments intended to hedge the nonfunctionalcurrency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities, an immediate 10% hypothetical change of foreign currency exchange rates would not have a material effecton our Consolidated Financial Statements.Interest Rate RiskA portion of our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to our domestic investment portfolio. We do not, and do not intend to, usederivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. We place cash and cash equivalents with various major financial institutions. We protect our investedprincipal funds by limiting default risk, market risk and reinvestment risk. We mitigate these risks by generally investing in investment grade securities and byfrequently positioning the portfolio to try to respond 48Table of Contentsappropriately to a reduction in credit rating of any investment issuer, guarantor or depository to levels below the credit ratings dictated by our investment policy.The portfolio typically includes only marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity. At August 31, 2016, there were nosignificant outstanding investments.During the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, we entered into a series of interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $200.0 million designatedas fair value hedges of a portion of our 7.750% Senior Notes. Under these interest rate swaps, we received fixed rate interest payments and paid interest at avariable rate based on LIBOR plus a spread. The effect of these swaps was to convert fixed rate interest expense on a portion of the 7.750% Senior Notes tofloating rate interest expense. Gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps were recorded to interest expense and offset changes inthe fair value of the hedged portion of the underlying 7.750% Senior Notes.During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, we terminated the interest rate swaps entered into in connection with the 7.750% Senior Notes with a fair valueof $12.2 million, including accrued interest of $0.6 million at August 31, 2011. The portion of the fair value that was not accrued interest was recorded as a hedgeaccounting adjustment to the carrying amount of the 7.750% Senior Notes and was being amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining term ofthe 7.750% Senior Notes, which was through July 15, 2016.During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, we entered into forward starting swap transactions to hedge the fixed interest rate payments for an anticipateddebt issuance. The forward starting swaps have an aggregate notional amount of $200.0 million and have been designated as hedging instruments and accounted foras cash flow hedges. The forward starting swaps are scheduled to expire on March 15, 2018. If the anticipated debt issuance occurs before March 15, 2018, thecontracts will be terminated simultaneously with the debt issuance. The contracts will be settled with the respective counterparties on a net basis at the time oftermination or expiration. Changes in the fair value of the forward starting swap transactions are recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component ofaccumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”).During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, we entered into interest rate swap transactions to hedge the variable interest rate payments for the Term LoanFacility. In connection with this transaction, we will pay interest based upon a fixed rate as agreed upon with the respective counterparties and receive variable rateinterest payments based on the one-month LIBOR. The interest rate swaps have an aggregate notional amount of $200.0 million and have been designated ashedging instruments and accounted for as cash flow hedges. The interest rate swaps are effective on September 30, 2016 and scheduled to expire on June 30, 2019.The contracts will be settled with the respective counterparties on a net basis at each settlement date. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap transactionsare recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of AOCI.We pay interest on several of our outstanding borrowings at interest rates that fluctuate based upon changes in various base interest rates. There were $481.3million in borrowings outstanding under these facilities at August 31, 2016. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results ofOperations — Liquidity and Capital Resources” and Note 9 — “Notes Payable, Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations” to the Consolidated FinancialStatements for additional information regarding our outstanding debt obligations. The effect of an immediate hypothetical 10% change in variable interest rateswould not have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

All other information required by this item is included in Item 15 of Part IV of this Report and is incorporated into this item by reference. Item 9.Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial DisclosureThere have been no changes in or disagreements with our accountants on accounting and financial disclosure. 49Table of ContentsItem 9A.Controls and Procedures(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and ProceduresWe carried out an evaluation required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act (the “Evaluation”), under the supervision and with theparticipation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures asdefined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act (“Disclosure Controls”) as of August 31, 2016. Based on the Evaluation, our CEO and CFO concludedthat the design and operation of our Disclosure Controls were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submitunder the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated andcommunicated to our senior management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial ReportingWe assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2016. Management’s report on internal control over financialreporting as of August 31, 2016 is incorporated herein at Item 15. Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, issued an audit report onthe effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2016, which is incorporated herein at Item 15.(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingFor our fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2016, we did not identify any modifications to our internal control over financial reporting that have materiallyaffected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.Many of the components of our internal controls over financial reporting are evaluated on an ongoing basis by our finance organization to ensure continuedcompliance with the Exchange Act. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our internal controls over financial reporting and tomodify them as necessary. We intend to maintain our internal controls over financial reporting as dynamic processes and procedures that we adjust ascircumstances merit, and we have reached our conclusions set forth above, notwithstanding certain improvements and modifications.(d) Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls and Other MattersOur management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls and internal control over financial reporting will prevent allerrors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of thecontrol system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must beconsidered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all controlissues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making canbe faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls may be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, bycollusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance thatany design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes inconditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system,misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations on the effectiveness of controls, we have nonetheless reached the conclusions set forth above on our disclosurecontrols and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting.(e) CEO and CFO CertificationsExhibits 31.1 and 31.2 are the Certifications of the CEO and the CFO, respectively.

(the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting asdefined in Rule13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation ofeffectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance withthe policies or procedures may deteriorate.Under the supervision of and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, the Company’s management conducted anassessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2016. Management based this assessment on theframework as established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and testing of the effectiveness of itsinternal control over financial reporting.Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of August 31, 2016, the Company maintained effective internal control over financialreporting.Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, issued an audit report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internalcontrol over financial reporting which follows this report.October 20, 2016 53Table of ContentsReport of Independent Registered Public Accounting FirmThe Board of Directors and Stockholders ofJabil Circuit, Inc.We have audited Jabil Circuit, Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2016, based on criteria established in InternalControl—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). JabilCircuit, Inc. and subsidiaries’ management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of theeffectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Ourresponsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require thatwe plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all materialrespects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing andevaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessaryin the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reportingand the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control overfinancial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect thetransactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation offinancial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only inaccordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection ofunauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation ofeffectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance withthe policies or procedures may deteriorate.In our opinion, Jabil Circuit, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of August 31,2016, based on the COSO criteria.We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheetsof Jabil Circuit, Inc. and subsidiaries as of August 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 2016 of Jabil Circuit, Inc. and subsidiaries and our report dated October 20, 2016expressed an unqualified opinion thereon./s/ ERNST & YOUNG LLPCertified Public AccountantsTampa, FloridaOctober 20, 2016 54Table of ContentsReport of Independent Registered Public Accounting FirmThe Board of Directors and Stockholders ofJabil Circuit, Inc.We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jabil Circuit, Inc. and subsidiaries as of August 31, 2016 and 2015, and the relatedconsolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 2016.Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in Item 15(a).

AND SUBSIDIARIESNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesJabil Circuit, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, herein referred to as the “Company”) is an independent provider of electronic manufacturing services andsolutions. The Company provides comprehensive electronics design, production and product management services to companies in the automotive, capitalequipment, consumer lifestyles and wearable technologies, computing and storage, defense and aerospace, digital home, emerging growth, healthcare, industrialand energy, mobility, networking and telecommunications, packaging, point of sale and printing industries. The Company’s services combine a highly automated,continuous flow manufacturing approach with advanced electronic design and design for manufacturability technologies. The Company is headquartered in St.Petersburg, Florida and has manufacturing operations in the Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa.Significant accounting policies followed by the Company are as follows:a. Principles of Consolidation and Basis of PresentationThe consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Allsignificant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, alladjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the information have been included. The Company has made certainreclassification adjustments to conform prior periods’ Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements to the currentpresentation, including adjustments related to the change in reportable segments.b. Use of Accounting EstimatesManagement is required to make estimates and assumptions during the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes inconformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets andliabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements. They also affect the reported amounts of netincome. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.c. Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents for consolidated financial statementpurposes. Cash equivalents consist of investments in money market funds with original maturities of 90 days or less. At August 31, 2016 and 2015 there were $22.4million and $23.3 million of cash equivalents, respectively. Management considers the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents to be a reasonableapproximation of fair value given the short-term nature of these financial instruments.d. InventoriesInventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and use a first in, first out (FIFO) method.e. Property, Plant and Equipment, netProperty, plant and equipment is capitalized at cost and depreciated using the straight-line depreciation method over the estimated useful lives of therespective assets. Estimated useful lives for major classes of depreciable assets are as follows: Asset Class Estimated Useful LifeBuildings Up to 35 yearsLeasehold improvements Shorter of lease term or useful life of the improvementMachinery and equipment 2 to 10 yearsFurniture, fixtures and office equipment 5 yearsComputer hardware and software 3 to 7 yearsTransportation equipment 3 yearsCertain equipment held under capital leases is classified as property, plant and equipment and the related obligation is recorded as notes payable, long-termdebt and capital lease obligations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization of assets held under capital leases is included in depreciation expense in theConsolidated Statements of Operations. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as they are incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold orretired are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of operating income. 62Table of Contentsf. Goodwill and Other Intangible AssetsThe Company accounts for goodwill in a business combination as the excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets acquired. Business combinations canalso result in other intangible assets being recognized. Amortization of intangible assets, if applicable, occurs over the estimated useful life of the asset. TheCompany tests goodwill for impairment at least annually or more frequently under certain circumstances, using a two-step method. The Company conducts thisreview during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year absent any triggering events. Furthermore, identifiable intangible assets that are determined to have indefiniteuseful economic lives are not amortized, but are separately tested for impairment at least annually, using a one-step fair value based approach or when certainindicators of impairment are present.g. Impairment of Long-lived AssetsLong-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events orchanges in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the asset or asset group is measuredby comparison of its carrying amount to undiscounted future net cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If the carrying amount of an asset or asset group is notrecoverable, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group over its respective fairvalue which is generally determined as the present value of estimated future cash flows or as the appraised value.h. Revenue RecognitionThe Company derives substantially all of its revenue from production and product management services (collectively referred to as “manufacturingservices”), which encompasses the act of producing tangible components that are built to customer specifications which are then provided to the customer. TheCompany recognizes manufacturing services revenue when such tangible components are shipped to or the goods are received by the customer, title and risk ofownership have passed, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured (net of estimated returns). The Company also derivesrevenue to a lesser extent from electronic design services to certain customers. Revenue from electronic design services is generally recognized upon completionand acceptance by the respective customer. Taxes that are collected from the Company’s customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented withinthe Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations on a net basis. The Company records shipping and handling costs reimbursed by the customer in revenue.Upfront payments from customers are recorded upon receipt as deferred income and are recognized as revenue as the related manufacturing services are provided.i. Accounts ReceivableAccounts receivable consist of trade receivables and other miscellaneous receivables. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts forestimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Bad debts are charged to this allowance after all attempts to collect thebalance are exhausted. Allowances of $11.1 million and $11.7 million were recorded at August 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As the financial condition andcircumstances of the Company’s customers change, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts are made as necessary.j. Income TaxesDeferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amountsof existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxableincome in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in thetax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date of the rate change. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferredtax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company has considered future taxable income and ongoing feasible tax planning strategiesin assessing the need for the valuation allowance. 63Table of Contentsk. Earnings Per ShareThe following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share data): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2016 2015 2014 Numerator: Income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax $254,896 $294,185 $(1,588) Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, net of tax 801 1,593 952 Income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Jabil Circuit, Inc., net of tax $254,095 $292,592 $(2,540) Discontinued operations attributable to Jabil Circuit, Inc., net of tax — (8,573) 243,853 Net income attributable to Jabil Circuit, Inc. $254,095 $284,019 $241,313 Denominator for basic and diluted earnings per share: Denominator for basic earnings per share 190,413 193,689 202,497 Dilutive common shares issuable under the employee stock purchase plan and upon exercise of stock options and stockappreciation rights 160 159 — Dilutive unvested restricted stock awards 2,177 2,157 — Denominator for diluted earnings per share 192,750 196,005 202,497 Earnings per share attributable to the stockholders of Jabil Circuit, Inc.: Basic: Income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax $1.33 $1.51 $(0.01) Discontinued operations, net of tax $0.00 $(0.04) $1.20 Net income $1.33 $1.47 $1.19 Diluted: Income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax $1.32 $1.49 $(0.01) Discontinued operations, net of tax $0.00 $(0.04) $1.20 Net income $1.32 $1.45 $1.19 For fiscal year 2016, 2,380,967 stock appreciation rights were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have beenanti-dilutive.For fiscal year 2015, options to purchase 217,563 shares of common stock and 3,584,831 stock appreciation rights were excluded from the computation ofdiluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.No potential common shares relating to outstanding stock awards have been included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as a result of theCompany’s loss from continuing operations for fiscal year 2014. The Company accordingly excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share 3,373,275restricted stock awards, options to purchase 1,870,150 shares of common stock and 3,864,131 stock appreciation rights for fiscal year 2014.l. Foreign Currency TransactionsFor the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that use a currency other than the U.S. dollar as their functional currency, the assets and liabilities are translated atexchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The effects of thesetranslation adjustments are reported in other comprehensive income. Gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functionalcurrency of the entity involved and remeasurement adjustments for foreign operations where the U.S. dollar is the functional currency are included in operatingincome.m. Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsThe three levels of the fair-value hierarchy include: Level 1 – quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 – inputs otherthan quoted market prices included in Level 1 above that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs forthe asset or liability.The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accruedexpenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Refer to Note 3 – “Trade Accounts Receivable Securitization andSale Programs”, Note 9 – “Notes Payable, Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations”, Note 10 – “Postretirement and Other Employee Benefits” and Note14 –“Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities” for disclosure surrounding the fair value of the Company’s deferred purchase price receivables, debtobligations, pension plan assets and derivative financial instruments, respectively. 64Table of ContentsRefer to Note 2 – “Discontinued Operations” for discussion of the Company’s Senior Non-Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock. The Senior Non-Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock is valued each reporting period using unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) based on an interest rate lattice model and isclassified as an available for sale security with an unrealized gain (loss) recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”). The unobservableinputs have an immaterial impact on the fair value calculation of the Senior Non-Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock. At August 31, 2016, the fair value was$30.8 million, and is included within other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.n. Stock-Based CompensationThe Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense, reduced for estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period ofthe award, which is generally the vesting period for outstanding stock awards. The Company recorded $59.0 million, $62.6 million and $9.0 million of stock-basedcompensation expense gross of tax effects, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Operations forfiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. During the fiscal years ended August 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded a $7.5 million, a $5.2 millionand a $45.8 million reversal, respectively, to stock-based compensation expense due to decreased expectations for the vesting of certain restricted stock awards.The Company recorded an additional tax benefit (expense) related to the stock-based compensation expense of $1.0 million, $(0.4) million and $1.1 million, whichis included in income tax expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for fiscal years 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. Included in thecompensation expense recognized by the Company is $6.5 million, $4.7 million and $4.7 million related to the Company’s employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”)during fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company capitalizes stock-based compensation costs related to awards granted to employees whosecompensation costs are directly attributable to the cost of inventory. At August 31, 2016 and 2015, $0.4 million and $0.4 million of stock-based compensation costswere classified as inventories on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.Cash received from exercises under all share-based payment arrangements, including the Company’s ESPP, for fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $20.9million, $18.1 million and $15.8 million, respectively. The proceeds for fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014 were offset by $10.7 million, $7.6 million and $34.3million, respectively, of restricted shares withheld by the Company to satisfy the minimum amount of its income tax withholding requirements. The fair value ofthe restricted shares withheld was determined on the date that the restricted shares vested and resulted in the withholding of 462,900 shares, 402,143 shares and1,569,059 shares of the Company’s common stock during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Company currently expects to satisfy share-based awards with registered shares available to be issued.See Note 12 – “Stockholders’ Equity” for further discussion of stock-based compensation expense.o. Comprehensive IncomeComprehensive income is the changes in equity of an enterprise except those resulting from stockholder transactions.The following table sets forth the changes in AOCI, net of tax, by component during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016 (in thousands): Foreign Currency TranslationAdjustment Derivative Instruments Actuarial Loss Prior Service Cost Unrealized (Loss) Gain on Availablefor Sale Securities Total Balance at August 31, 2015 $6,666 $(12,033) $(30,624) $1,054 $(15,917) $(50,854) Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassifications 9,672 (18,994) (14,009) 26 (5,436) (28,741) Amounts reclassified from AOCI — 38,811 1,046 (139) — 39,718 Other comprehensive income (loss) 9,672 19,817 (12,963) (113) (5,436) 10,977 Balance at August 31, 2016 $16,338 $7,784 $(43,587) $941 $(21,353) $(39,877) The unrealized losses on derivative instruments, including reclassification adjustments, recorded to AOCI during fiscal years 2016 and 2015 are net of taxbenefits of $15.3 million and $19.3 million, respectively. The actuarial loss and prior service cost, including reclassification adjustments, recorded to AOCI atAugust 31, 2016 are net of a tax benefit (expense) of $0.6 million and $(0.3) million, respectively. The actuarial loss and prior service cost, includingreclassification adjustments, recorded to AOCI at August 31, 2015 are net of a tax benefit (expense) of $2.4 million and $(0.4) million, respectively. There is no taxbenefit (expense) related to the foreign currency translation adjustment and unrealized loss on available for sale securities components of AOCI, includingreclassification adjustments, for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2016 and 2015. 65Table of ContentsThe portions of AOCI reclassified into earnings during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 for derivative instruments were primarilyclassified as a component of cost of revenue. The portions of AOCI reclassified into earnings during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 foractuarial loss and prior service cost were not material.p. Derivative InstrumentsAll derivative instruments are recorded gross on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their respective fair values. The Company does not intend to usederivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Generally, if a derivative instrument is designated as a cash flow hedge, the change in the fair value of thederivative is recorded in other comprehensive income to the extent the derivative is effective, and recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations when thehedged item affects earnings. If a derivative instrument is designated as a fair value hedge, the change in fair value of the derivative and of the hedged itemattributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings in the current period. Changes in fair value of derivatives that are not designated as hedges are recorded inearnings. Cash receipts and cash payments related to derivative instruments are recorded in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged on theConsolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Refer to Note 14 – “Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities” for further discussion surrounding theCompany’s derivative instruments.2. Discontinued OperationsOn December 17, 2013, the Company announced that it entered into a stock purchase agreement with iQor Holdings, Inc. (“iQor”) for the sale of Jabil’sAftermarket Services (“AMS”) business for consideration of $725.0 million, which consists of $675.0 million in cash and an aggregate liquidation preference valueof $50.0 million in Senior Non-Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock of iQor that accretes dividends at an annual rate of 8 percent and is redeemable in nineyears or upon a change in control. The purchase price was finalized during fiscal year 2015 and was reduced by $100.2 million for cash, indebtedness, taxes,interest and certain working capital accounts of the Company’s AMS business. Also, as part of this transaction, the Company is subject to a limited covenant not tocompete. On April 1, 2014, the Company completed the sale of the AMS business except for the Malaysian operations, for which the sale was completed onDecember 31, 2014.The Company recognized a gain on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax, of approximately $223.3 million for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014.The Company incurred direct transaction costs in connection with the sale of approximately $16.5 million during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014, which isincluded in gain on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax. The income tax expense recognized on the gain on sale of discontinued operations during the fiscalyear ended August 31, 2014 was significantly reduced to $7.6 million primarily due to the utilization of net operating loss related deferred tax assets withcorresponding valuation allowances. At April 1, 2014, the fair value of the Senior Non-Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock was approximately $33.2 million,which is included in gain on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax.For all periods presented, the operating results associated with this business have been reclassified into discontinued operations, net of tax in theConsolidated Statements of Operations. The following table provides a summary of AMS amounts included in discontinued operations (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2016 2015 2014 Net revenue $— $14,624 $586,652 (Loss) income from discontinued operations, before tax $— (7,689) 26,694 Income tax expense — 9 6,140 (Loss) income from discontinued operations, net of tax $— $(7,698) $20,554 (Loss) gain on sale of discontinued operations, before tax $— $(300) $230,878 Income tax expense — 575 7,579 (Loss) gain on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax $— $(875) $223,299 Discontinued operations, net of tax $— $(8,573) $243,853 66Table of Contents3. Trade Accounts Receivable Securitization and Sale ProgramsThe Company regularly sells designated pools of trade accounts receivable under two asset-backed securitization programs and three uncommitted tradeaccounts receivable sale programs (collectively referred to herein as the “programs”). The Company continues servicing the receivables sold and in exchangereceives a servicing fee under each of the programs. Servicing fees related to each of the programs recognized during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2016, 2015and 2014 were not material. The Company does not record a servicing asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as the Company estimates that the fee itreceives to service these receivables approximates the fair market compensation to provide the servicing activities.Transfers of the receivables under the programs are accounted for as sales and, accordingly, net receivables sold under the programs are excluded fromaccounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reflected as cash provided by operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.a. Asset-Backed Securitization ProgramsThe Company continuously sells designated pools of trade accounts receivable under its North American asset-backed securitization program, currentlyscheduled to expire on October 20, 2017, and its foreign asset-backed securitization program, currently scheduled to expire on May 1, 2018, (collectively referredto herein as the “asset-backed securitization programs”) to special purpose entities, which in turn sell 100% of the receivables to conduits administered byunaffiliated financial institutions (for the North American asset-backed securitization program) and to an unaffiliated financial institution and a conduitadministered by an unaffiliated financial institution (for the foreign asset-backed securitization program). The special purpose entity in the North American asset-backed securitization program is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The special purpose entity in the foreign asset-backed securitization program is aseparate bankruptcy-remote entity whose assets would be first available to satisfy the creditor claims of the unaffiliated financial institution. The Company isdeemed the primary beneficiary of this special purpose entity as the Company has both the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impactthe entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits that could potentially be significant to the entity from thetransfer of the trade accounts receivable into the special purpose entity. Accordingly, the special purpose entities associated with these asset-backed securitizationprograms are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Any portion of the purchase price for the receivables which is not paid in cash uponthe sale taking place is recorded as a deferred purchase price receivable, which is paid as payments on the receivables are collected. Net cash proceeds of up to amaximum of $200.0 million and $275.0 million for the North American and foreign asset-backed securitization programs, respectively, are available at any onetime. The foreign asset-backed securitization program was amended to increase the facility limit from $175.0 million to $275.0 million, effective May 20, 2016.In connection with the asset-backed securitization programs, the Company sold $7.9 billion, $7.6 billion and $8.0 billion of eligible trade accounts receivableduring the fiscal years ended August 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In exchange, the Company received cash proceeds of $7.3 billion, $7.2 billion and $7.4billion during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively (of which approximately $8.4 million, $5.9 million and $4.0 million,respectively, represented new transfers and the remainder represented proceeds from collections reinvested in revolving-period transfers) and a deferred purchaseprice receivable. At August 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the deferred purchase price receivables recorded in connection with the asset-backed securitization programstotaled approximately $527.3 million, $429.3 million and $513.0 million, respectively. The asset-backed securitization programs require compliance with severalcovenants. The North American asset-backed securitization program covenants include compliance with the interest coverage ratio and debt to EBITDA ratio of thefive year unsecured credit facility amended as of July 6, 2015 (the “Credit Facility”). The foreign asset-backed securitization program covenants include limitationson certain corporate actions such as mergers and consolidations.The Company recognized pretax losses on the sales of receivables under the asset-backed securitization programs of approximately $5.1 million, $3.8million and $3.6 million during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which are recorded to other expense within the ConsolidatedStatements of Operations.The deferred purchase price receivables recorded under the asset-backed securitization programs are recorded initially at fair value as prepaid expenses andother current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are valued using unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs), primarily discounted cash flows, and due totheir credit quality and short-term maturity the fair values approximated book values. The unobservable inputs consist of estimated credit losses and estimateddiscount rates, which both have an immaterial impact on the fair value calculations of the deferred purchase price receivables.b. Trade Accounts Receivable Sale ProgramsIn connection with three separate trade accounts receivable sale programs with unaffiliated financial institutions, the Company may elect to sell, at adiscount, on an ongoing basis, up to a maximum of $650.0 million, $150.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively, of specific trade accounts receivable at any onetime. The $650.0 million trade accounts receivable sale program is an uncommitted facility that was amended during the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 to increasethe uncommitted capacity from $450.0 million to $650.0 million and to extend the expiration date to November 1, 2016, although any party may elect to terminatethe 67Table of Contentsagreement upon 15 days prior notice. The $650.0 million trade accounts receivable sale program will be automatically extended each year until August 31, 2017,unless any party gives no less than 30 days prior notice that the agreement should not be extended. The $150.0 million trade accounts receivable sale program is anuncommitted facility that is subject to expiration on August 31, 2017 (as the agreement was extended on August 28, 2016). The $100.0 million trade accountsreceivable sale program is an uncommitted facility that is scheduled to expire on November 1, 2016 (as the agreement was automatically extended on November 1,2015), although any party may elect to terminate the agreement upon 15 days prior notice. The $100.0 million trade accounts receivable sale program will beautomatically extended each year until November 1, 2018, unless any party gives no less than 30 days prior notice that the agreement should not be extended.During fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company sold $3.7 billion, $2.1 billion and $1.9 billion of trade accounts receivable under these programs,respectively. In exchange, the Company received cash proceeds of $3.6 billion, $2.1 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively. The resulting losses on the sales of tradeaccounts receivable during fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014 were not material and were recorded to other expense within the Consolidated Statements ofOperations. 68Table of Contents4.

Provision for Income TaxesIncome (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense and noncontrolling interests is summarized below (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2016 2015 2014 U.S. $(317,427) $(295,521) $(129,764) Non-U.S. 704,472 727,167 201,887 $387,045 $431,646 $72,123 The U.S. and non-U.S. components of income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense and noncontrolling interests include theelimination of intercompany foreign dividends paid to the U.S.Income tax expense (benefit) is summarized below (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, Current Deferred Total 2016: U.S. – Federal $(649) $73 $(576) U.S. – State (166) 9 (157) Non-U.S. 157,069 (24,187) 132,882 $156,254 $(24,105) $132,149 2015: U.S. – Federal $1,169 $(1,653) $(484) U.S. – State 164 (300) (136) Non-U.S. 147,199 (9,118) 138,081 $148,532 $(11,071) $137,461 2014: U.S. – Federal $3,047 $(9,108) $(6,061) U.S. – State 319 (3,606) (3,287) Non-U.S. 107,819 (24,760) 83,059 $111,185 $(37,474) $73,711 Reconciliations of the income tax expense at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate compared to the actual income tax expense are summarized below (inthousands): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2016 2015 2014 Tax at U.S. federal statutory income tax rate (35%) $135,470 $151,076 $25,243 State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit (5,121) (4,474) (3,740) Impact of foreign tax rates (144,521) (157,827) (19,621) Permanent impact of non-deductible cost 3,408 8,951 10,995 Income tax credits (5,040) (12,773) (5,632) Changes in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities 182 (1,206) (23,432) Valuation allowance 11,770 72,604 47,697 Non-deductible equity compensation 18,350 11,600 31,236 Impact of intercompany charges and dividends 94,596 49,843 9,376 Other, net 23,055 19,667 1,589 Total income tax expense $132,149 $137,461 $73,711 69Table of ContentsFor the fiscal years ended August 31, 2016 and 2015, the impact of intercompany charges and dividends increased due to the intercompany foreign dividendpaid to the U.S. which was offset by a decrease in the U.S. valuation allowance. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014, the impact of foreign tax rates changewas due to the decrease of income in low tax-rate jurisdictions. The changes in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities decreased due to the enactment of theMexico 2014 tax reform.The Company has been granted tax incentives for its Brazilian, Chinese, Malaysian, Polish, Singaporean and Vietnamese subsidiaries. The majority of thetax incentive benefits expire at various dates through fiscal year 2020 and are subject to certain conditions with which the Company expects to comply. Thesesubsidiaries generated income from continuing operations during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, resulting in a tax benefit of approximately$50.5 million ($0.27 per basic share), $74.7 million ($0.39 per basic share) and $14.6 million ($0.07 per basic share), respectively. The benefits of these incentivesare recorded as the impact of foreign tax rates and income tax credits.For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014, the Company recorded out-of-period adjustments that increased net income from continuing operations byapproximately $17.1 million, which related to fiscal year 2013 income tax benefit adjustments that were recorded in fiscal year 2014. The Company assessed andconcluded that these adjustments are not material to either the consolidated quarterly or annual financial statements for all impacted periods.b. Deferred Tax Assets and LiabilitiesThe significant components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are summarized below (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2016 2015 Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carry forward $319,685 $261,495 Receivables 8,643 11,343 Inventories 6,970 7,876 Compensated absences 9,080 9,342 Accrued expenses 75,749 75,580 Property, plant and equipment, principally due to differences in depreciation and amortization 52,088 31,888 U.S. federal and state tax credits 58,725 63,927 Foreign jurisdiction tax credits 14,464 13,524 Equity compensation – U.S. 17,641 21,447 Equity compensation – Non-U.S. 3,873 4,507 Cash flow hedges 2,055 3,809 Other 18,767 25,403 Total deferred tax assets before valuation allowances 587,740 530,141 Less valuation allowances (344,828) (304,820) Net deferred tax assets $242,912 $225,321 Deferred tax liabilities: Unremitted earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries 88,445 85,765 Intangible assets 54,130 55,208 Other 5,768 4,756 Total deferred tax liabilities $148,343 $145,729 Net deferred tax assets $94,569 $79,592 As of August 31, 2016, the Company had federal, state (tax-effected) and foreign income tax net operating loss carry forwards (net of unrecognized taxbenefits) of approximately $398.4 million, $48.5 million, and $565.3 million, respectively, which are available to reduce future taxes, if any. The net operating losscarry forwards in the Company’s major tax jurisdictions expire in fiscal years 2017 through 2036 or have an indefinite carry forward period. The Company has U.S.federal and state tax credit carry forwards of $55.0 million and $5.7 million, respectively, which are available to reduce future taxes, if any. Most of the U.S. federaltax credits expire through the year 2024. Most of the U.S. state tax credits expire through the year 2027. As of August 31, 2016, the foreign jurisdiction tax creditsinclude foreign investment tax credits of $11.7 million that expire in 2026 and are based on the deferral method.Based on the Company’s historical operating income, projection of future taxable income, scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, and taxplanning strategies, management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize 70Table of Contentsthe benefit of its deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances recorded. The net increases (decreases) in the total valuation allowance for the fiscal years endedAugust 31, 2016 and 2015 were $40.0 million and $43.5 million, respectively. The fiscal year ended August 31, 2016 increase is primarily related to losses injurisdictions with existing valuation allowances and the recognition of excess tax benefits due to the early adoption of the new accounting guidance for share-basedpayment transactions.As of August 31, 2016, the Company intends to repatriate the Nypro pre-acquisition undistributed foreign earnings of approximately $181.1 million to theU.S. Therefore, the Company continues to record a deferred tax liability of approximately $80.0 million based on the anticipated U.S. income taxes of therepatriation. The Company repatriated $225.3 million of current year foreign earnings to our U.S. operations during fiscal year 2016, which had no incomestatement impact due to the U.S. current year operating loss and the U.S. valuation allowance. The Company intends to indefinitely reinvest the remaining earningsfrom its foreign subsidiaries. The accumulated earnings are the most significant component of the basis difference which is indefinitely reinvested. The aggregateundistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries for which no deferred tax liability has been recorded is approximately $3.1 billion as of August 31,2016. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability on these undistributed earnings is not practicable.c. Unrecognized Tax BenefitsReconciliations of the unrecognized tax benefits are summarized below (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2016 2015 2014 Beginning balance $154,648 $229,684 $219,132 Additions for tax positions of prior years 7,974 4,189 16,533 Reductions for tax positions of prior years (20,045) (7,919) (3,843) Additions for tax positions related to current year 25,892 21,541 18,219 Adjustments for tax positions related to disposed entities — — (1,917) Adjustments for tax positions related to acquired entities — 1,687 (3,195) Cash settlements (6,553) (11,806) (9,406) Reductions from lapses in statutes of limitations (7,099) (1,843) (1,909) Reductions from settlements with taxing authorities (1,787) (72,812) (4,344) Foreign exchange rate adjustment (3,132) (8,073) 414 Ending balance $149,898 $154,648 $229,684 Unrecognized tax benefits that would affect the effective tax rate (if recognized) $72,152 $80,094 $72,586 For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015, the reductions from settlements with taxing authorities is primarily related to the closure of a non-U.S. auditwhich partially disallowed a net operating loss carry forward and future tax amortization.It is reasonably possible that the August 31, 2016 unrecognized tax benefits could decrease during the next 12 months by $0.9 million from cash paymentsand by $12.7 million related to the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations. These amounts primarily relate to possible adjustments for transfer pricing.The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company’saccrued interest and penalties were approximately $21.9 million and $20.1 million at August 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company recognized interestand penalties of approximately $1.8 million, $2.1 million and $1.0 million during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. TheCompany is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for fiscal years before August 31, 2009. In major state and major non-U.S. jurisdictions, theCompany is no longer subject to income tax examinations for fiscal years before August 31, 2003 and August 31, 2006, respectively.The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) completed its field examination of the Company’s tax returns for fiscal years 2009 through 2011 and issued a RevenueAgent’s Report on May 27, 2015, which was updated on June 22, 2016, proposing adjustments primarily related to U.S. taxation of certain intercompanytransactions. If the IRS ultimately prevails in its positions, the Company’s income tax payment due for the fiscal years 2009 through 2011 would be approximately$28.6 million after utilization of tax loss carry forwards available through fiscal year 2011. Also, the IRS has proposed interest and penalties with respect to fiscalyears 2009 through 2011. The IRS may make similar claims in future audits with respect to these types of transactions. At this time, anticipating the amount of anyfuture IRS proposed adjustments, interest, and penalties is not practicable.The Company disagrees with the proposed adjustments and intends to vigorously contest these matters through the applicable IRS administrative and judicialprocedures, as appropriate. As the final resolution of the proposed adjustments remains uncertain, the Company continues to provide for the uncertain tax positionsbased on the more likely than not standard. While the resolution of the issues may result in tax liabilities, interest and penalties, which are significantly higher thanthe amounts provided for these matters, management currently believes that the resolution will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financialposition, results of operations or cash flows. Despite this belief, an unfavorable resolution, particularly if the IRS successfully asserts similar claims for later years,could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. 71Table of Contents6.

Goodwill and Other Intangible AssetsThe Company performs a goodwill impairment analysis using the two-step method on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstancesindicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’scarrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill isconsidered impaired and a second step is performed to measure the amount of loss, if any.The Company completed its annual impairment test for goodwill during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016 and determined the fair values of the reportingunits were substantially in excess of the carrying values and that no impairment existed as of the date of the impairment test. For each annual impairment test theCompany consistently determines the fair value of its reporting units based on an average weighting of both projected discounted future results and the use ofcomparative market multiples. 72Table of ContentsThe following tables present the changes in goodwill allocated to the Company’s reportable segments, Electronics Manufacturing Services (“EMS”) andDiversified Manufacturing Services (“DMS”), during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands): August 31, 2015 August 31, 2016 Accumulated Acquisitions Foreign Accumulated Gross Impairment & Currency Gross Impairment Reportable Segment Balance Balance Adjustments Impact Balance Balance Net Balance EMS $491,926 $(464,053) $23,690 $(384) $515,232 $(464,053) $51,179 DMS 990,278 (555,769) 111,417 (2,332) 1,099,363 (555,769) 543,594 Total $1,482,204 $(1,019,822) $135,107 $(2,716) $1,614,595 $(1,019,822) $594,773 August 31, 2014 August 31, 2015 Accumulated Acquisitions Foreign Accumulated Gross Impairment & Currency Gross Impairment Reportable Segment Balance Balance Adjustments Impact Balance Balance Net Balance EMS $474,305 $(464,053) $18,586 $(965) $491,926 $(464,053) $27,873 DMS 929,161 (555,769) 64,262 (3,145) 990,278 (555,769) 434,509 Total $1,403,466 $(1,019,822) $82,848 $(4,110) $1,482,204 $(1,019,822) $462,382 Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis and consist primarily of contractual agreements and customer relationships, which arebeing amortized over periods of up to 15 years and intellectual property which is being amortized over periods of up to 8 years. Indefinite-lived intangible assetsconsist of trade names. The Company completed its annual impairment test for its indefinite-lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016 anddetermined that no impairment existed as of the date of the impairment test. Significant judgments inherent in this analysis included assumptions regardingappropriate revenue growth rates, discount rates and royalty rates. No significant residual values are estimated for the amortizable intangible assets. The value ofthe Company’s intangible assets purchased through business acquisitions is principally determined based on valuations of the net assets acquired. The followingtables present the Company’s total purchased intangible assets at August 31, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands): Gross Net Carrying Accumulated Carrying August 31, 2016 Amount Amortization Amount Contractual agreements and customer relationships $250,451 $(113,393) $137,058 Intellectual property 151,025 (114,219) 36,806 Finite-lived trade name 5,006 (5,006) — Indefinite-lived trade name 123,090 — 123,090 Total $529,572 $(232,618) $296,954 Gross Net Carrying Accumulated Carrying August 31, 2015 Amount Amortization Amount Contractual agreements and customer relationships $201,423 $(96,013) $105,410 Intellectual property 150,453 (99,295) 51,158 Finite-lived trade name 4,434 (556) 3,878 Indefinite-lived trade name 123,090 — 123,090 Total $479,400 $(195,864) $283,536 The weighted-average amortization period for aggregate net intangible assets at August 31, 2016 is 9.2 years, which includes a weighted-averageamortization period of 11.1 years for net contractual agreements and customer relationships and a weighted-average amortization period of 5.0 years for netintellectual property. 73Table of ContentsIntangible asset amortization for fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $37.1 million, $24.4 million and $23.9 million, respectively.

The estimatedfair values of the Company’s publicly traded debt, including the 8.250%, 5.625% and 4.700% senior notes, were approximately $437.9 million, $433.3 million and$523.8 million respectively, at August 31, 2016. The fair value estimates are based upon observable market data (Level 2 criteria). The estimated fair value of theCompany’s private debt, the 4.900% senior notes, was approximately $312.3 million, at August 31, 2016. This fair value estimate is based on the Company’sindicative borrowing cost derived from discounted cash flows (Level 3 criteria). The carrying amounts of borrowings under credit facilities and under loansapproximates fair value as interest rates on these instruments approximates current market rates. (a) During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company issued $312.0 million of seven-year, publicly-registered 7.750% notes (the “7.750% SeniorNotes”) at 96.1% of par, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $300.0 million. The 7.750% Senior Notes pay 74Table of Contents interest semiannually on January 15 and July 15. Also, the 7.750% Senior Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with allother existing and future senior unsecured debt obligations. The 7.750% Senior Notes matured on July 15, 2016, and at that time, the outstanding balancewas fully paid. (b) During the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2008, the Company issued $250.0 million and $150.0 million, respectively, of ten-year, unregistered8.250% notes at 99.965% of par and 97.5% of par, respectively, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $245.7 million and $148.5 million, respectively.On July 18, 2008, the Company completed an exchange whereby all of the outstanding unregistered 8.250% notes were exchanged for registered 8.250%notes (collectively the “8.250% Senior Notes”) that are substantially identical to the unregistered notes except that the 8.250% Senior Notes are registeredunder the Securities Act and do not have any transfer restrictions, registration rights or rights to additional special interest.The 8.250% Senior Notes mature on March 15, 2018 and pay interest semiannually on March 15 and September 15. The interest rate payable on the 8.250%Senior Notes is subject to adjustment from time to time if the credit ratings assigned to the 8.250% Senior Notes increase or decrease, as provided in the8.250% Senior Notes. The 8.250% Senior Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all other existing and future seniorunsecured debt obligations. (c) During the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company issued $400.0 million of ten-year publicly registered 5.625% notes (the “5.625% Senior Notes”) atpar. The net proceeds from the offering of $400.0 million were used to fully repay the term portion of the credit facility dated as of July 19, 2007 (the “OldCredit Facility”) and partially repay amounts outstanding under the Company’s foreign asset-backed securitization program. The 5.625% Senior Notesmature on December 15, 2020. Interest on the 5.625% Senior Notes is payable semiannually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning onJune 15, 2011. The 5.625% Senior Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all other existing and future seniorunsecured debt obligations. (d) During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company issued $500.0 million of ten-year publicly registered 4.700% notes (the “4.700% Senior Notes”)at 99.992% of par. The net proceeds from the offering of $500.0 million were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and for generalcorporate purposes. The 4.700% Senior Notes mature on September 15, 2022 and pay interest semiannually on March 15 and September 15 of each year,beginning on March 15, 2013. The 4.700% Senior Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all other existing and futuresenior unsecured debt obligations. (e) On May 19, 2016, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with certain third parties which closed on July 14, 2016 for a private placement of$300.0 million of senior unsecured notes maturing on July 14, 2023 with an interest rate of 4.9% (the “4.900% Senior Notes”). The proceeds from the sale ofthe notes were used to repay the Company’s $312.0 million 7.750% Senior Notes due July 15, 2016. The Company is subject to financial covenants based inpart on those set forth in its Revolving Credit Facility, including: (1) a maximum ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA and (2) aminimum ratio of (a) consolidated EBITDA to (b) interest payable on, and amortization of debt discount in respect of, all indebtedness and loss on sale ofaccounts receivable. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries, are subject to other covenants, such as: limitation upon transactions with affiliates;limitation upon mergers, consolidations, etc.; limitation upon sales of assets; limitation upon changes in line of business; terrorism sanction regulations;limitation upon subsidiary indebtedness; limitation upon liens; financial and business information; visitation rights; compliance with laws; insurance;maintenance of properties; payment of taxes and claims; preservation of corporate existence, etc.; keeping of books and records; subsidiary guarantees orliability for certain indebtedness; and most favored lender requirement with respect to certain indebtedness. Terms used above in the description of financialcovenants have specific meanings ascribed to them in the note purchase agreement. (f) As of August 31, 2016, the Company has eleven credit facilities with foreign subsidiaries that finance their future growth and any corresponding workingcapital needs. Nine of the credit facilities are denominated in U.S. dollars, one is denominated in Brazilian reais and one is denominated in Euros. The creditfacilities incur interest at fixed and variable rates ranging from 1.2% to 12.4%.On July 6, 2015, the Company entered into an amended and restated senior unsecured five year credit agreement. The credit agreement provides for theRevolving Credit Facility in the initial amount of $1.5 billion, which may, subject to the lenders’ discretion, potentially be increased up to $2.0 billion and a$500.0 million five year delayed draw Term Loan Facility. Both the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility expire on July 6, 2020, but in thecase of the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to two whole or partial one-year extensions, at the lender’s discretion. Interest and fees on Revolving CreditFacility and Term Loan Facility advances are based on the Company’s non-credit enhanced long-term senior unsecured debt rating as determined byStandard & Poor’s Ratings Service, Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings. Interest is charged at a rate equal to (a) for the Revolving Credit Facility,either 0.000% to 0.650% above the base rate or 1.000% to 1.650% above the Eurocurrency rate and (b) for the Term Loan Facility, either 0.125% to 1.000%above the base rate or 1.125% to 2.000% above the Eurocurrency rate, in each case where the base rate represents the greatest of Citibank, N.A.’s base rate,0.50% above the federal funds rate, and 1.0% above one-month LIBOR, but not less than zero, and the Eurocurrency rate represents adjusted LIBOR oradjusted CDOR, as applicable, for the applicable interest period, but not less than zero, each as more fully described in the Revolving Credit Facility andTerm Loan Facility agreement. Fees include a facility fee based on the revolving credit commitments of the lenders and a letter of credit fee based on theamount of outstanding letters of credit. The Company, along 75Table of Contents with its subsidiaries, is subject to the following financial covenants: (1) a maximum Debt to EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility agreement) and(2) a minimum ratio of (a) Consolidated EBITDA to (b) interest payable on, and amortization of debt discount in respect of, all Debt (as defined in the CreditFacility agreement) and loss on sale of accounts receivable. In addition, the Company is subject to other covenants, such as: limitation upon liens; limitationupon mergers, etc.; limitation upon accounting changes; limitation upon subsidiary debt; limitation upon sales, etc. of assets; limitation upon changes innature of business; payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries; limitation upon use of proceeds; compliance with laws, etc.; payment of taxes, etc.;maintenance of insurance; preservation of corporate existence, etc.; visitation rights; keeping of books; maintenance of properties, etc.; transactions withaffiliates; and reporting requirements.During fiscal year 2016, the Company borrowed $5.8 billion against the Revolving Credit Facility under multiple draws and repaid $5.8 billion undermultiple payments.During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, a foreign subsidiary of the Company entered into an uncommitted credit facility to finance its growth and anycorresponding working capital needs. The credit facility provides for a revolving credit facility in the amount of up to $150.0 million with interest charged ata rate of LIBOR plus 1.1%. (g) On September 22, 2015, the Company borrowed $500.0 million against the Term Loan Facility.During the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company entered into a master lease agreement with a variable interest entity (the “VIE”) whereby it sells toand subsequently leases back from the VIE up to $60.0 million in certain machinery and equipment for a period of up to five years. In connection with thistransaction, the Company holds a variable interest in the VIE, which was designed to hold debt obligations payable to third-party creditors. The proceedsfrom such debt obligations are utilized to finance the purchase of the machinery and equipment that is then leased by the Company. The Company is theprimary beneficiary of the VIE as it has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance andthe obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Therefore, the Company consolidates thefinancial statements of the VIE and eliminates all intercompany transactions. At August 31, 2016, the VIE had approximately $18.9 million of total assets, ofwhich approximately $18.6 million was comprised of a note receivable due from the Company, and approximately $18.5 million of total liabilities, of whichapproximately $18.5 million were debt obligations to the third-party creditors (as the VIE has utilized approximately $18.5 million of the $60.0 million debtobligation capacity). The third-party creditors have recourse to the Company’s general credit only in the event that the Company defaults on its obligationsunder the terms of the master lease agreement. In addition, the assets held by the VIE can be used only to settle the obligations of the VIE.In addition to the loans described above, at August 31, 2016, the Company has borrowings outstanding to fund working capital needs. These additional loanstotal approximately $2.4 million, of which $1.4 million are denominated in Euros, $0.7 million are denominated in Russian rubles and $0.3 million aredenominated in U.S. dollars. (h) Primarily related to various capital lease obligations the company acquired during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, in connection with the acquisition ofNypro. (i) This amount represents the fair value hedge accounting adjustment related to the 7.750% Senior Notes. For further discussion of the Company’s fair valuehedges, see Note 14 - “Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities” to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 76Table of ContentsUnder its 8.250%, 5.625%, and 4.700% Senior Notes, the Company is subject to covenants such as limitations on its and/or its subsidiaries’ ability to:consolidate or merge with, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to, another person; create certain liens; enter into sale andleaseback transactions; create, incur, issue, assume or guarantee funded debt (which only applies to the Company’s “restricted subsidiaries”); and guarantee any ofthe Company’s indebtedness (which only applies to the Company’s subsidiaries). The Company is also subject to a covenant requiring our repurchase of the8.250%, 5.625%, or 4.700% Senior Notes upon a “change of control repurchase event.”Debt maturities as of August 31, 2016 for the next five years and thereafter are as follows (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ending August 31, Amount 2017 $45,810 2018 443,692 2019 51,484 2020 364,096 2021 397,930 Thereafter 816,810 Total $2,119,822 10. Postretirement and Other Employee BenefitsPostretirement BenefitsDuring the first quarter of fiscal year 2002, the Company established a defined benefit pension plan for all permanent employees of Jabil Circuit UKLimited. This plan was established in accordance with the terms of the business sale agreement with Marconi Communications plc (“Marconi”). The benefitobligations and plan assets from the terminated Marconi plan were transferred to the newly established defined benefit plan (the “UK plan”). The UK plan, which isclosed to new participants, provides benefits based on average employee earnings over a three-year service period preceding retirement and length of employeeservice. The Company’s policy is to contribute amounts sufficient to meet minimum funding requirements as set forth in UK employee benefit and tax laws plussuch additional amounts as are deemed appropriate by the Company. Plan assets are held in trust and consist of equity and debt securities as detailed below.As a result of acquiring various other operations in Austria, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Poland, and Taiwan, the Company assumed both funded andunfunded retirement benefits to be paid based upon years of service and compensation at retirement (the “other plans”). All permanent employees meeting theminimum service requirement are eligible to participate in the other plans.The UK plan and other plans are collectively referred to herein as the “plans.”There is no domestic pension or post-retirement benefit plan maintained by the Company.The Company is required to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in itsConsolidated Balance Sheet, and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. 77Table of Contentsa. Benefit ObligationsThe following table provides a reconciliation of the change in the benefit obligations for the plans for fiscal years 2016 and 2015 (in thousands): Pension Benefits 2016 2015 Beginning projected benefit obligation $161,230 $182,653 Service cost 883 1,054 Interest cost 4,844 5,554 Actuarial loss (gain) 40,170 (5,252) Curtailment gain — (2,542) Total benefits paid (5,587) (5,238) Plan participants’ contributions 27 28 Amendments — (198) Acquisitions — 1,769 Effect of conversion to U.S. dollars (19,289) (16,598) Ending projected benefit obligation $182,278 $161,230 Weighted-average actuarial assumptions used to determine the benefit obligations for the plans for fiscal years 2016 and 2015 were as follows: Pension Benefits 2016 2015 Expected long-term return on plan assets 3.3% 4.4% Rate of compensation increase 4.1% 4.3% Discount rate 1.7% 3.2% The Company evaluates these assumptions on a regular basis taking into consideration current market conditions and historical market data. The discountrate is used to state expected cash flows relating to future benefits at a present value on the measurement date. This rate represents the market rate for high-qualityfixed income investments whose timing would match the cash out flow of retirement benefits. A lower discount rate would increase the present value of benefitobligations and vice versa. Other assumptions include demographic factors such as retirement, mortality and turnover.b. Plan AssetsThe Company has adopted an investment policy for a majority of plan assets which was set by plan trustees who have the responsibility for makinginvestment decisions related to the plan assets. The plan trustees oversee the investment allocation, including selecting professional investment managers andsetting strategic targets. The investment objectives for the assets are (1) to acquire suitable assets that hold the appropriate liquidity in order to generate income andcapital growth that, along with new contributions, will meet the cost of current and future benefits under the plan, (2) to limit the risk of the plan assets from failingto meet the plan liabilities over the long-term and (3) to minimize the long-term costs under the plan by maximizing the return on the plan assets.Investment policies and strategies governing the assets of the plans are designed to achieve investment objectives with prudent risk parameters. Riskmanagement practices include the use of external investment managers; the maintenance of a portfolio diversified by asset class, investment approach and securityholdings; and the maintenance of sufficient liquidity to meet benefit obligations as they come due. Within the equity securities class, the investment policy providesfor investments in a broad range of publicly traded securities including both domestic and international stocks. The plans do not hold any of the Company’s stock.Within the debt securities class, the investment policy provides for investments in corporate bonds as well as fixed and variable interest debt instruments. TheCompany currently expects to achieve the target mix of 35% equity and 65% debt securities in fiscal year 2017. 78Table of ContentsThe fair values of the plan assets held by the Company by asset category for fiscal years 2016 and 2015 are as follows (in thousands): Fair Value Measurements Using Inputs Considered as: Fair Value at August 31, 2016 Asset Allocation Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Asset Category Cash and cash equivalents $3,565 3% $3,565 $— $— Equity Securities: Global equity securities (a) 41,515 29% — 41,515 — Debt Securities: U.K. corporate bonds (b) 27,268 19% — 27,268 — U.K. government bonds (c) 34,359 24% — 34,359 Global government bonds (d) 6,136 4% — 6,136 — Global corporate bonds (e) 14,725 10% — 14,725 Other Investments: Insurance contracts (f) 16,134 11% — — 16,134 Fair value of plan assets $143,702 100% $3,565 $124,003 $16,134 Fair Value Measurements Using Inputs Considered as: Fair Value at August 31, 2015 Asset Allocation Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Asset Category Cash and cash equivalents $4,567 3% $4,567 $— $— Equity Securities: Global equity securities (g) 24,143 18% — 24,143 — U.K. equity securities (h) 24,211 18% — 24,211 — Debt Securities: U.K. corporate bonds (i) 50,817 38% — 50,817 — U.K. government bonds (j) 16,866 12% — 16,866 — Other Investments: Insurance contracts (f) 14,204 11% — — 14,204 Fair value of plan assets $134,808 100% $4,567 $116,037 $14,204 (a) Global equity securities are categorized as Level 2 and include investments that aim to capture global equity market returns by tracking the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”)World Index and other similar world stocks indexes.(b) U.K. corporate bonds are categorized as Level 2 and include U.K. corporate issued fixed income investments which are managed and tracked to the respective benchmark (Bank ofAmerica Merrill Lynch (“BofAML”) Sterling Corporate & Collateralised All-Stocks (Excluding Subordinated Financials)).(c) U.K. government bonds are categorized as Level 2 and include U.K. government issued inflation-linked income investments which are managed and tracked to the respective benchmarks(FTSE Actuaries UK Index-Linked Gilts Over 5 Years) and a custom benchmark based on the longest gilts in issue).(d) Global government bonds are categorized as Level 2 and include emerging market government issued fixed income investments which are managed and tracked to the respectivebenchmark (J.P.Morgan GBI-EM Global Diversified).(e) Global corporate bonds are categorized as Level 2 and include global corporate issued fixed income investments which are managed and tracked to the respective benchmarks (BofAMLDeveloped Market BB/B Global High Yield Constrained Index; BofAML Global High Yield Constrained and Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”)/Loan Syndications & Trading Association(“LSTA”) US Leveraged Loan Hedged).(f) The assets related to The Netherlands plan consist of an insurance contract that guarantees the payment of the funded pension entitlements, as well as provides a profit share to theCompany. The profit share in this contract is not based on actual investments, but, instead on a notional investment portfolio that is expected to return a pre-defined rate. Insurance contractassets are recorded at fair value, which is determined based on the cash surrender value of the insured benefits which is the present value of the guaranteed funded benefits. Insurancecontracts are valued using unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs), primarily by discounting expected future cash flows relating to benefits paid from a notional investment portfolio in orderto determine the cash surrender value of the policy.

Stock Options and Stock Appreciation RightsThere were no stock options or stock appreciation rights (“SARS”) granted (collectively known as “Options”), excluding those granted under the ESPP,during fiscal year 2016. There were no stock options granted and 0.4 million stock appreciation rights granted, excluding those granted under the ESPP, duringfiscal years 2015. The total intrinsic value of Options exercised during fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $0.5 million, $1.0 million and $0.1 million,respectively. As of August 31, 2016, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options. The total fair value of Options vested duringfiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $0.0 million, $2.8 million and $0.0 million, respectively.The following table summarizes shares available for grant and SARS activity from August 31, 2015 through August 31, 2016.

Restricted Stock AwardsCertain key employees have been granted time-based, performance-based and market-based restricted stock awards. The time-based restricted awardsgranted generally vest on a graded vesting schedule over three years. The performance-based restricted awards generally vest on a cliff vesting schedule over threeto five years and provide a range of vesting possibilities of up to a maximum of 100% or 150%, depending on the specified performance condition and the level ofachievement obtained. The market-based awards have a vesting condition that is tied to the Company’s stock performance in relation to the Standard and Poor’s(S&P) Super Composite Technology Hardware and Equipment Index. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016, the Company awarded approximately2.6 million time-based restricted stock units, 1.3 million performance-based restricted stock units and 0.4 million market-based restricted stock units.The stock-based compensation expense for the time-based and performance based restricted stock awards (including restricted stock and restricted stockunits) is measured at fair value on the date of grant based on the number of shares expected to vest and the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock.For restricted stock awards with performance conditions, stock-based compensation expense is originally based on the number of shares that would vest if theCompany achieved 100% of the performance goal, which was the probable outcome at the grant date. Throughout the requisite service period, managementmonitors the probability of achievement of the performance condition. If it becomes probable, based on the Company’s performance, that more or less than thecurrent estimate of the awarded shares will vest, an adjustment to stock-based compensation expense will be recognized as a change in accounting estimate in theperiod the probability changes. The stock-based compensation expense for the market-based restricted stock awards is measured at fair value on the date of grant.The market conditions are considered in the grant date fair value using a Monte Carlo valuation model, which utilizes multiple input variables to determine theprobability of the Company achieving the specified market conditions. Stock-based compensation expense related to an award with a market condition will berecognized over the requisite service period regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied, provided that the requisite service period has been completed.During fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded a $7.5 million, a $5.2 million and a $45.8 million reversal, respectively, to stock-basedcompensation expense due to decreased expectations for the vesting of certain restricted stock awards.In connection with the sale of the AMS business, the vesting for certain outstanding time-based restricted stock awards previously granted to AMSemployees was accelerated. As a result, 0.2 million awards were vested during the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, which accelerated approximately $2.4 millionof stock-based compensation expense. Such expense is included in income from discontinued operations, net of tax, within the Consolidated Statement ofOperations for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014. 83Table of ContentsAt August 31, 2016, there was $53.6 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards granted under the2011 Plan. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.The following table summarizes restricted stock activity from August 31, 2015 through August 31, 2016: Weighted- Average Grant-Date Shares Fair Value Unvested balance at August 31, 2015 11,931,585 $19.44 Changes during the period Shares granted (a) 5,376,030 $24.02 Shares vested (1,817,635) $19.18 Shares forfeited (712,802) $20.50 Unvested balance at August 31, 2016 14,777,178 $21.09 (a) For those shares granted that are based on the achievement of certain performance criteria, represents the maximum number of shares that can vest.c. Employee Stock Purchase PlanEmployees are eligible to participate in the ESPP after 90 days of employment with the Company. The ESPP permits eligible employees to purchasecommon stock through payroll deductions, which may not exceed 10% of an employee’s compensation, as defined in the ESPP, at a price equal to 85% of the fairvalue of the common stock at the beginning or end of the offering period, whichever is lower. The ESPP is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the InternalRevenue Code. There were 1,246,947, 1,005,916 and 1,077,071 shares purchased under the ESPP during fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. AtAugust 31, 2016, a total of 11,603,855 shares had been issued under the ESPP. 84Table of ContentsThe fair value of shares issued under the ESPP was estimated on the commencement date of each offering period using the Black-Scholes option pricingmodel. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in the model for each respective period: Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2016 2015 2014 Expected dividend yield 0.7% 0.8% 0.9% Risk-free interest rate 0.3% 0.1% 0.1% Expected volatility 28.1% 24.5% 33.8% Expected life 0.5 years 0.5 years 0.5 years d.

Concentration of Risk and Segment Dataa. Concentration of RiskFinancial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and tradereceivables. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various domestic and foreign financial institutions. Deposits held with the financial institutionsmay exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits, but may generally be redeemed upon demand. The Company performs periodic evaluations of therelative credit standing of the financial institutions and attempts to limit exposure with any one institution. With respect to trade receivables, the Company performsongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses on tradereceivables.Sales of the Company’s products are concentrated among specific customers. For fiscal year 2016, the Company’s five largest customers accounted forapproximately 49% of its net revenue and 85 customers accounted for approximately 90% of its net revenue. As the Company is a provider of electronicmanufacturing services and solutions and products are built based on customer specifications, it is impracticable to provide revenues from external customers foreach product and service. Sales to the following customers who accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net revenues, expressed as a percentage ofconsolidated net revenue, and the percentage of accounts receivable for each customer, were as follows: Percentage of Net Revenue Percentage of Accounts Receivable Fiscal Year Ended August 31, Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2016 2015 2014 2016 2015 Apple, Inc. 24% 24% 18% *% 19% *Amount was less than 10% of total.Sales to the above customer were reported in the DMS operating segment.The Company procures components from a broad group of suppliers. Almost all of the products manufactured by the Company require one or morecomponents that are available from only a single source.b. Segment DataOperating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses; forwhich separate financial information is available; and whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to assess theperformance of the individual segment and make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment. 85Table of ContentsThe Company derives its revenue from providing comprehensive electronics design, production and product management services. The chief operatingdecision maker evaluates performance and allocates resources on a segment basis. The Company’s operating segments consist of two segments – EMS and DMS,which are also the Company’s reportable segments. The EMS segment is focused around leveraging IT, supply chain design and engineering, technologies largelycentered on core electronics, sharing of the Company’s large scale manufacturing infrastructure and the ability to serve a broad range of end markets. The EMSsegment includes customers primarily in the automotive, capital equipment, computing and storage, digital home, industrial and energy, networking andtelecommunications, point of sale and printing industries. The DMS segment is focused on providing engineering solutions and a focus on material sciences andtechnologies. The DMS segment includes customers primarily in the consumer lifestyles and wearable technologies, defense and aerospace, emerging growth,healthcare, mobility and packaging industries.On April 1, 2014, the Company completed the sale of the AMS business except for the Malaysian operations, for which the sale was completed onDecember 31, 2014. The AMS business was included in the DMS segment, and the results of operations of this business are classified as discontinued operationsfor all periods presented. See Note 2 – “Discontinued Operations” for further details.Net revenue for the operating segments is attributed to the segment in which the service is performed. An operating segment’s performance is evaluatedbased on its pre-tax operating contribution, or segment income. Segment income is defined as net revenue less cost of revenue, segment selling, general andadministrative expenses, segment research and development expenses and an allocation of corporate manufacturing expenses and selling, general andadministrative expenses, and does not include amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense and related charges, restructuring and related charges,distressed customer charges, acquisition costs and certain purchase accounting adjustments, loss on disposal of subsidiaries, settlement of receivables and relatedcharges, impairment of notes receivable and related charges, goodwill impairment charges, income (loss) from discontinued operations, gain (loss) on sale ofdiscontinued operations, other expense, interest income, interest expense, income tax expense or adjustment for net income (loss) attributable to noncontrollinginterests. Total segment assets are defined as accounts receivable, inventories, net customer-related property, plant and equipment, intangible assets net ofaccumulated amortization and goodwill. All other non-segment assets are reviewed on a global basis by management. Transactions between operating segments aregenerally recorded at amounts that approximate those at which we would transact with third parties. 86Table of ContentsThe following table sets forth operating segment information (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2016 2015 2014 Net revenue EMS $11,029,132 $10,777,810 $10,638,588 DMS 7,323,954 7,121,386 5,123,558 $18,353,086 $17,899,196 $15,762,146 Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2016 2015 2014 Segment income and reconciliation of income before tax EMS $373,732 $297,097 $242,181 DMS 256,588 372,912 103,188 Total segment income $630,320 $670,009 $345,369 Reconciling items: Amortization of intangibles (37,121) (24,449) (23,857) Stock-based compensation expense and related charges (58,997) (62,563) (8,994) Restructuring and related charges (11,369) (33,066) (85,369) Distressed customer charges — — (15,113) Loss on disposal of subsidiaries — — (7,962) Acquisition costs and certain purchase accounting adjustments — 5,480 — Other expense (8,380) (5,627) (7,637) Interest income 9,128 9,953 3,741 Interest expense (136,536) (128,091) (128,055) Income from continuing operations before tax $387,045 $431,646 $72,123 August 31, 2016 August 31, 2015 Total assets EMS $2,615,237 $2,865,172 DMS 5,012,798 4,241,699 Other non-allocated assets 2,694,642 2,484,729 $10,322,677 $9,591,600 The Company operates in 28 countries worldwide.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging ActivitiesThe Company is directly and indirectly affected by changes in certain market conditions. These changes in market conditions may adversely impact theCompany’s financial performance and are referred to as market risks. The Company, where deemed appropriate, uses derivatives as risk management tools tomitigate the potential impact of certain market risks. The primary market risks managed by the Company through the use of derivative instruments are foreigncurrency fluctuation risk and interest rate risk.All derivative instruments are recorded gross on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their respective fair values. The accounting for changes in the fair valueof a derivative instrument depends on the intended use and designation of the derivative instrument. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as afair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative and the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in currentearnings. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument isinitially reported as a component of AOCI, net of tax, and is subsequently reclassified into the line item within the Consolidated Statements of Operations in whichthe hedged items are recorded in the same period in which the hedged item affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is recognized immediately incurrent earnings. For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments, gains and losses from changes in fair values are recognized in earnings.Cash receipts and cash payments related to derivative instruments are recorded in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged on theConsolidated Statements of Cash Flows.For derivatives accounted for as hedging instruments, the Company formally designates and documents, at inception, the financial instruments as a hedge ofa specific underlying exposure, the risk management objective and the strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. In addition, the Company formally performsan assessment, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, to determine whether the financial instruments used in hedging transactions are effective atoffsetting changes in the cash flows on the related underlying exposures.a. Foreign Currency Risk ManagementForward contracts are put in place to manage the foreign currency risk associated with the anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses.A hedging relationship existed with an aggregate notional amount outstanding of $323.3 million 88Table of Contentsand $615.1 million at August 31, 2016 and August 31, 2015, respectively. The related forward foreign exchange contracts have been designated as hedginginstruments and are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The forward foreign exchange contract transactions will effectively lock in the value of anticipated foreigncurrency denominated revenues and expenses against foreign currency fluctuations. The anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses beinghedged are expected to occur between September 1, 2016 and May 31, 2017.In addition to derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments and qualify for hedge accounting, the Company also enters into forward contracts toeconomically hedge transactional exposure associated with commitments arising from trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, fixed purchase obligationsand intercompany transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective operating entity.

Interest Rate Risk ManagementThe Company periodically enters into interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s borrowings.Fair Value HedgesDuring the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company entered into a series of interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $200.0 milliondesignated as fair value hedges of a portion of the Company’s 7.750% Senior Notes. Under these interest rate swaps, the Company received fixed rate interestpayments and paid interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a spread. The effect of these swaps was to convert fixed rate interest expense on a portion of the7.750% Senior Notes to floating rate interest expense. Gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps were recorded to interestexpense and offset changes in the fair value of the hedged portion of the underlying 7.750% Senior Notes.During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company terminated the interest rate swaps entered into in connection with the 7.750% Senior Notes with afair value of $12.2 million, including accrued interest of $0.6 million at August 31, 2011. The portion of the fair value that is not accrued interest is recorded as ahedge accounting adjustment to the carrying amount of the 7.750% Senior Notes and is being amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining termof the 7.750% Senior Notes, which was through July 15, 2016. The Company recorded $2.1 million in amortization as a reduction to interest expense during thefiscal year ended August 31, 2016. At August 31, 2016 and 2015, the unamortized hedge accounting adjustment recorded is $0.0 million and $2.1 million,respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.Cash Flow HedgesDuring the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company entered into forward interest rate swap transactions to hedge the fixed interest rate payments foran anticipated debt issuance, which was the issuance of the 8.250% Senior Notes. The swaps were accounted for as a cash flow hedge and had a notional amount of$400.0 million. Concurrently with the pricing of the 8.250% Senior Notes, the Company settled the swaps by its payment of $43.1 million. The ineffective portionof the swaps was immediately recorded to interest expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The effective portion of the swaps is recorded on theCompany’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of AOCI and is being amortized to interest expense within the Company’s Consolidated Statements ofOperations over the life of the 8.250% Senior Notes, which is through March 15, 2018. The effective portions of the swaps amortized to interest expense during thefiscal years ended August 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 were not material. Existing losses related to interest rate risk management hedging arrangements that areexpected to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months are not material.During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Company entered into forward starting swap transactions to hedge the fixed interest rate payments for ananticipated debt issuance. The forward starting swaps have an aggregate notional amount of $200.0 million and have been designated as hedging instruments andaccounted for as cash flow hedges. The forward starting swaps are scheduled to expire on March 15, 2018. If the anticipated debt issuance occurs before March 15,2018, the contracts will be terminated simultaneously with the debt issuance. The contracts will be settled with the respective counterparties on a net basis at thetime of termination or expiration. Changes in the fair value of the forward starting swap transactions are recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheetsas a component of AOCI.During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Company entered into interest rate swap transactions to hedge the variable interest rate payments for theTerm Loan Facility. In connection with this transaction, the Company will pay interest based upon a fixed rate as agreed upon with the respective counterpartiesand receive variable rate interest payments based on the one-month LIBOR. The interest rate swaps have an aggregate notional amount of $200.0 million and havebeen designated as hedging instruments and accounted for as cash flow hedges. The interest rate swaps are effective on September 30, 2016 and scheduled to expireon June 30, 2019. The contracts will be settled with the respective counterparties on a net basis at each settlement date. Changes in the fair value of the interest rateswap transactions are recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of AOCI. 90Table of Contents15.

Recently Adopted Accounting GuidanceDuring the third quarter of fiscal year 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance intended to simplify thepresentation of debt issuance costs. The guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented as a direct deduction from thecarrying amount of that debt liability on the balance sheet, consistent with the presentation for debt discounts. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, theFASB issued an accounting standard to address the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. Theguidance allows an entity to defer and present debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortize the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of theline-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The Company elected to early adopt thesetwo standards in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016 on a retrospective basis. The adoption of these two standards did not have a significant impact on theCompany’s Consolidated Financial Statements and resulted in $11.6 million of debt issuance costs being reclassified from other assets to notes payable, long-termdebt and capital lease obligation as of August 31, 2015.During the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard to simplify the presentation of deferred taxes. The new guidancerequires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet, as opposed to beingpresented as current and noncurrent. The Company early adopted this new standard as of the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, applying it prospectively. Priorperiods were not retrospectively adjusted.During the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard to simplify an acquirer’s accounting for adjustments made to provisionalamounts recognized in a business combination. The guidance requires the acquirer to recognize any adjustments to provisional amounts identified during themeasurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustments are 93Table of Contentsdetermined, as opposed to retrospectively applying adjustments to prior periods presented in financial statements. Thus, the acquirer will adjust its financialstatements as needed, including recognizing in its current period earnings the effect of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as aresult of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The Company early adopted this newstandard during the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, applying it prospectively. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on theCompany’s Consolidated Financial Statements.During the third quarter of fiscal year 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based paymenttransactions, including the recognition of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies, accounting for forfeitures and classification on the statement of cash flows. TheCompany elected to early adopt this standard in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, effective as of the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year, September 1, 2015.The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Amendments requiring the recognition ofexcess tax benefits and tax deficiencies within the Consolidated Statements of Operations were adopted prospectively and resulted in the recognition of animmaterial amount of excess tax benefits within income tax expense. This change could create volatility in the Company’s effective tax rate in future periods. TheCompany has elected to continue to estimate forfeitures expected to occur to determine the amount of compensation expense to be recognized in each period andtrue-up forfeiture estimates through the vesting dates such that compensation cost is recognized only for awards in which participants complete the requisite serviceperiod. Amendments related to presentation within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows were applied retrospectively, and resulted in the reclassification ofan immaterial amount of excess tax benefit related to stock awards from financing to operating activities for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.b. Recently Issued Accounting GuidanceDuring the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard which will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance undercurrent U.S. GAAP. The new standard is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer ofgoods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. During the fourth quarterof fiscal year 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard deferring the effective date of this accounting guidance by one year. Therefore, the accountingstandard is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach toadopt this standard and management is currently evaluating which transition approach to use. The Company is currently in the process of assessing what impact thisnew standard may have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, the FASB issued a new accounting standard intended to simplify the subsequent measurement of inventory,excluding inventory accounted for under the last-in, first-out or the retail inventory methods. The new standard replaces the current lower of cost or market testwith a lower of cost and net realizable value test. Under the current guidance, market could be replacement cost, net realizable value or net realizable value less anapproximately normal profit margin. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs ofcompletion, disposal and transportation. This guidance is required to be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for the Company beginning in the firstquarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of assessing what impact this new standard may have on itsConsolidated Financial Statements.During the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard to address certain aspects of recognition, measurement,presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. Early applicationis permitted only for certain provisions, and the update must be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of thefiscal year of adoption and applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption of the standard. The Company is currently assessing theimpact this new standard may have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.During the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard revising lease accounting. The new guidance requiresorganizations to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and disclose key information regarding leasing arrangements. Thisguidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. Early application of the new standard is permitted and must be adoptedusing a modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this standard will impact the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company is currently assessingany other impacts this new standard will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard, which replaces the existing incurred loss impairment methodologywith a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform creditloss estimates. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 and early adoption is permitted beginning in the firstquarter of fiscal year 2020. This guidance must be applied using a modified retrospective or prospective transition method, depending on the area covered by thisaccounting standard. The Company is currently assessing the impact this new standard may have on its Consolidated Financial Statements. 94Table of Contents18. Subsequent EventsThe Company has evaluated subsequent events that occurred through the date of the filing of the Company’s fiscal year 2016 Form 10-K. No significantevents occurred, other than disclosed below, subsequent to the balance sheet date and prior to the filing date of this report that would have a material impact on theConsolidated Financial Statements.On September 15, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors formally approved a restructuring plan to realign the Company’s global capacity andadministrative support infrastructure in order to optimize organizational effectiveness. This action includes headcount reductions across the Company’s Selling,General and Administrative cost base and capacity realignment in higher cost locations (the “2017 Restructuring Plan”). The 2017 Restructuring Plan reflects theCompany’s intention only and restructuring decisions, and the timing of such decisions, at certain locations are still subject to consultation with the Company’semployees and their representatives. The Company currently expects to recognize approximately $195.0 million in pre-tax restructuring and other related costs overthe course of the Company’s fiscal years 2017 and 2018. The charges relating to the 2017 Restructuring Plan are currently expected to result in net cashexpenditures of approximately $50.0 million that will be payable over the course of the Company’s fiscal years 2017 and 2018. The exact timing of these chargesand cash outflows, as well as the estimated cost ranges by category type, have not been finalized. This information will be subject to the finalization of timetablesfor the transition of functions, consultation with employees and their representatives as well as the statutory severance requirements of the particular jurisdictionsimpacted, and the amount and timing of the actual charges may vary due to a variety of factors. The Company’s estimates for the charges discussed above excludeany potential income tax effects. 95Table of ContentsSIGNATURESPursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on itsbehalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.

For purposes of thisSection 6(a), for a Grantee who subsequent to the Grant Date performs service for the Company or a Subsidiary in a role as an employee of the Company or aSubsidiary that no longer includes being a state law officer of the Company or a substantially equivalent position of a Subsidiary (“Subsequent Non-OfficerService”), the time period of such Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall not include the time period of anysuch Subsequent Non-Officer Service, but shall include any time period during which such Grantee subsequently resumes service for the Company or a Subsidiaryin a role as an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary that includes being a state law officer of the Company or a substantially equivalent position of aSubsidiary.If this Section 6(a) applies to the Grantee’s Retirement, the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Directorshall be treated as not having 7terminated for the number of years beginning on the effective date of the Retirement, or the remaining portion of the vesting period, whichever is applicable, inaccordance with the following table based on the Grantee’s age and full years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director at thelater of the Grant Date or the Company’s fiscal year-end next preceding the effective date of the Retirement: Full Years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant orNon-Employee Director 20 Years 25 Years 30 or More Years 2 years 3 years Full vesting period Accordingly, upon such Retirement, Restricted Stock Units that otherwise would be forfeited because such Restricted Stock Units remain unvested (and notpreviously forfeited) at the effective date of the Retirement will not be forfeited if the Determination Date would have been reached had the Grantee remained inContinuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director for the additional period specified in the table above. Vesting of such Restricted StockUnits will remain subject to Section 2, and settlement of such Restricted Stock Units will remain subject to Section 4. Any portion of the Restricted Stock Units thatcould not potentially become vested under Section 2 assuming the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director as setforth in the above table will be forfeited upon Retirement. The death of the Grantee following Retirement or a Change in Control following Retirement shall notaffect the application of this Section 6(a), although such events will trigger a settlement of the Restricted Stock Units not forfeited by operation of this Section 6(a)in accordance with Section 4.(b) Death . In the event that the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates due to death at atime that the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units have not yet vested, a pro rata portion of the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units shall vest as follows: First, forpurposes of Section 2, the Company shall determine the actual level of the Performance Goal achieved (such determination may be by means of a good faithestimate) as of the Company’s fiscal quarter-end coincident with or next preceding the Grantee’s death (or, if the Grantee’s death occurs in the first fiscal quarter ofthe Performance Period, then the Company’s fiscal quarter-end coincident with or next following the Grantee’s death) and calculating, on a preliminary basis, theresulting number of Restricted Stock Units that would have become vested (based on such calculation) as of the Determination Date. Second, a pro rata portion ofthat number of Restricted Stock Units will be calculated by multiplying that number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months from the firstday of the Performance Period through the date of death (rounding any partial month to the next whole month) and the denominator of which is No fractionalShares shall be issued, and subject to the limitation under Section 2(b) on the number of related Shares available under this Agreement (that is, 150 percent of therelated Shares), any fractional Share that would have 8resulted from the foregoing calculations shall be rounded up to the next whole Share. Any Restricted Stock Units that were unvested at the date of death and thatexceed the pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units that become vested under this Section 6(b) shall be forfeited.(c) Disability . In the event that the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates due toDisability at a time that the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units have not yet vested, a pro rata portion of the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units shall remain outstandingand shall be eligible for future vesting based on the actual level of achievement in the Performance Period, provided, however, that non-forfeiture of suchRestricted Stock Units will only apply if the Grantee executes the agreement, if any, required under Section 6(d). The pro rata portion shall be calculated bymultiplying the number of Restricted Stock Units originally granted by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months from the first day of thePerformance Period through the date of termination (rounding any partial month to the next whole month) and the denominator of which is . No fractionalShares shall be issued, and subject to the limitation under Section 2(b) on the number of related Shares available under this Agreement (that is, 150 percent of therelated Shares), any fractional Share that would have resulted from the foregoing calculations shall be rounded up to the next whole Share. Vesting of suchRestricted Stock Units will remain subject to Section 2, and settlement of such Restricted Stock Units will remain subject to Section 4. The death of the Granteefollowing a termination governed by this Section 6(c), or a Change in Control following such termination, shall not increase or decrease the number of RestrictedStock Units forfeited or not forfeited under this Section 6(c), although such events will trigger a settlement of the Restricted Stock Units not forfeited by operationof this Section 6(c) in accordance with Section 4. Any Restricted Stock Units that at any time after the date of a termination governed by this Section 6(c) exceedthe pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units that remain outstanding and potentially subject to future vesting under this Section 6(c) shall be forfeited.(d) Execution of Separation Agreement and Release . Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, as a condition to the non-forfeiture ofRestricted Stock Units upon Retirement under Section 6(a) or upon a termination due to Disability under Section 6(c), the Grantee shall be required to execute aseparation agreement and release, in a form prescribed by the Administrator, setting forth covenants relating to noncompetition, nonsolicitation, nondisparagement,confidentiality and similar covenants for the protection of the Company’s business, and releasing the Company from liability in connection with the Grantee’stermination. Such agreement shall provide for the forfeiture and/or clawback of the Restricted Stock Units subject to Section 6(a) or 6(c), and the Shares ofCommon Stock issued or issuable in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, in the event of theGrantee’s failure to comply with the terms of such agreement. The Administrator will provide the form of such agreement to the Grantee at the date of termination,and the Grantee must execute and return such form within the period specified by law or, if no such period is specified, within 21 days after receipt of the form ofagreement, and not revoke such agreement within any permitted revocation period (the end of these periods being the “Agreement Effectiveness Deadline”). If anyRestricted Stock Units subject to Section 6(a) or 6(c) or related rights would be required to be settled before the Agreement Effectiveness Deadline, the settlementshall not be delayed pending the receipt and effectiveness of the agreement, but any such Restricted Stock Units or related rights settled before such receipt andeffectiveness shall be subject to a “clawback” (repaying to the Company the Shares and cash paid upon settlement) in the event that the agreement is not receivedand effective and not revoked by the Agreement Effectiveness Deadline. 97. Dividend Equivalents; Adjustments .(a) Dividend Equivalents . During the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the date that Shares are issued in settlement of a RestrictedStock Unit, the Grantee will accrue dividend equivalents on Restricted Stock Units equal to the cash dividend or distribution that would have been paid on theRestricted Stock Unit had the Restricted Stock Unit been an issued and outstanding Share of Common Stock on the record date for the dividend ordistribution. Such accrued dividend equivalents (i) will vest and become payable upon the same terms and at the same time of settlement as the Restricted StockUnits to which they relate, and (ii) will be denominated and payable solely in cash. Dividend equivalent payments, at settlement, will be net of applicable federal,state, local and foreign income and social insurance withholding taxes (subject to Section 8).(b) Adjustments . The number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the Grantee, and each adjusted core earnings per share amount and CumulativeEPS amount specified for purposes of the Performance Goal, shall be subject to adjustment by the Company, in accordance with Section 13 of the Plan, in order topreserve without enlarging the Grantee’s rights with respect to such Restricted Stock Units. Any such adjustment shall be made taking into account any crediting ofcash dividend equivalents to the Grantee under Section 7(a) in connection with such transaction or event. In the case of an extraordinary cash dividend, theCommittee may determine to adjust Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units under this Section 7(b) in lieu of crediting cash dividend equivalents under Section7(a). Restricted Stock Units credited to the Grantee as a result of an adjustment shall be subject to the same forfeiture and settlement terms as applied to the relatedRestricted Stock Units prior to the adjustment.8. Responsibility for Taxes and Withholding . Regardless of any action the Company, any of its Subsidiaries and/or the Grantee’s employer takeswith respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Planand legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains theGrantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or any of its affiliates. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Companyand/or its Subsidiaries (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RestrictedStock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the delivery of Shares, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuantto such delivery and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of anyaward to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee becomes subject to tax inmore than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiariesmay be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. 10Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Companyand/or its Subsidiaries to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, or their respective agents, at theirdiscretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:(a) withholding from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries; or(b) withholding from proceeds of the Shares acquired following settlement either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory salearranged by the Company (on the Grantee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization); or(c) withholding in Shares to be delivered upon settlement; or(d) withholding from dividend equivalent payments (payable in cash) related to the Shares to be delivered at settlement.To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimumstatutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes,the Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares attributable to the awarded Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of Sharesare held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.Finally, the Grantee shall pay to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries maybe required to withhold or account for as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that are not satisfied by the means previously described. The Companymay refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligations in connection with theTax-Related Items.9.

Any payment in settlement of the 409A RSUs that is triggered by a termination of Continuous Status as anEmployee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director (or other termination of employment) hereunder will occur only if the Grantee has had a“separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h), with such separation from service treated as the termination forpurposes of determining the timing of any settlement based on such termination.(ii) Six-Month Delay Rule . The “six-month delay rule” will apply to 409A RSUs if these four conditions are met:(A) the Grantee has a separation from service (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h)) for a reason other thandeath;(B) a payment in settlement is triggered by such separation from service; and(C) the Grantee is a “specified employee” under Code Section 409A.If it applies, the six-month delay rule will delay a settlement of 409A RSUs triggered by separation from service where the settlement otherwise wouldoccur within six months after the separation from service, subject to the following:(D) any delayed payment shall be made on the date six months and one day after separation from service;(E) during the six-month delay period, accelerated settlement will be permitted in the event of the Grantee’s death and for no otherreason (including no acceleration upon a Change in Control) except to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A; and(F) any settlement that is not triggered by a separation from service, or is triggered by a separation from service but would be mademore than six months after separation (without applying this six-month delay rule), shall be unaffected by the six-month delay rule.(c) Other Compliance Provisions . The following provisions apply to Restricted Stock Units:(i) Each tranche of Restricted Stock Units (including dividend equivalents accrued thereon) that potentially could vest at or followinga Determination Date under Section 2 shall be deemed a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A. 12(ii) The settlement of 409A RSUs may not be accelerated by the Company except to the extent permitted under Code Section409A. The Company may, however, accelerate vesting (i.e., may waive the risk of forfeiture tied to termination of the Grantee’s ContinuousStatus as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director) of 409A RSUs, without changing the settlement terms of such 409A RSUs.(iii) It is understood that Good Reason for purposes of this Agreement is limited to circumstances that qualify under TreasuryRegulation § 1.409A-1(n)(2).(iv) Any restriction imposed on 409A RSUs hereunder or under the terms of other documents solely to ensure compliance with CodeSection 409A shall not be applied to a Restricted Stock Unit that is not a 409A RSU except to the extent necessary to preserve the status ofsuch Restricted Stock Unit as not being a “deferral of compensation” under Code Section 409A.(v) If any mandatory term required for 409A RSUs or other RSUs, or related dividend equivalents or other related rights, to avoid taxpenalties under Code Section 409A is not otherwise explicitly provided under this document or other applicable documents, such term ishereby incorporated by reference and fully applicable as though set forth at length herein.(vi) In the case of any settlement of Restricted Stock Units during a specified period following the Determination Date or other datetriggering a right to settlement, the Grantee shall have no influence on any determination as to the tax year in which the settlement will bemade.(vii) In the case of any Restricted Stock Unit that is not a 409A RSU, if the circumstances arise constituting a Disability buttermination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director has not in fact resulted immediatelywithout an election by the Grantee, then only the Company or a Subsidiary may elect to terminate the Grantee’s Continuous Status as anEmployee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director due to such Disability.(viii) If the Company has a right of setoff that could apply to a 409A RSU, such right may only be exercised at the time the 409ARSU would have been settled, and may be exercised only as a setoff against an obligation that arose not more than 30 days before and withinthe same year as the settlement date if application of such setoff right against an earlier obligation would not be permitted under Code Section409A.10.

In the event of a Change in Control, any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that is not yet vested on the date such Changein Control is determined to have occurred:(a) shall become fully vested on the first anniversary of the date of such Change in Control (the “Change in Control Anniversary”) if theGrantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director does not terminate prior to the Change in Control Anniversary;(b) shall become fully vested on the Date of Termination if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-EmployeeDirector terminates prior to the Change in Control Anniversary as a result of termination by the Company without Cause or resignation by the Granteefor Good Reason; or 3(c) shall not become fully vested if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates priorto the Change in Control Anniversary as a result of termination by the Company for Cause or resignation by the Grantee without Good Reason, butonly to the extent such Restricted Stock Units have not previously become vested.For purposes of this Agreement, the references to “fully vested” refer to vesting of the number of Restricted Stock Units that would vest upon achievement of themaximum level of achievement of the Performance Goal under Section 2 at the Measurement Date. This Section 3 shall supersede the standard vesting provisioncontained in Section 2 of this Agreement only to the extent that it results in accelerated vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, and it shall not result in a delay of anyvesting or non-vesting of any Restricted Stock Units that otherwise would occur at the Measurement Date during the Performance Period under the terms of thestandard vesting provision contained in Section 2 of this Agreement.For purposes of this Section 3, the following definitions shall apply:(d) “Cause” means:(i) The Grantee’s conviction of a crime involving fraud or dishonesty; or(ii) The Grantee’s continued willful or reckless material misconduct in the performance of the Grantee’s duties after receipt of writtennotice from the Company concerning such misconduct;provided, however, that for purposes of Section 3(d)(ii), Cause shall not include any one or more of the following: bad judgment, negligenceor 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 ofthe Grantee to gain, directly or indirectly, a profit to which the Grantee was not legally entitled).(e) “Good Reason” means:(i) The assignment to the Grantee of any duties adverse to the Grantee and materially inconsistent with the Grantee’s position(including status, titles and reporting requirement), authority, duties or responsibilities, or any other action by the Company that results in amaterial diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertentaction that is not taken in bad faith;(ii) Any material reduction in the Grantee’s compensation; or(iii) Change in location of the Grantee’s assigned office of more than 35 miles without prior consent of the Grantee. 4The Grantee’s resignation will not constitute a resignation for Good Reason unless the Grantee first provides written notice to the Company ofthe existence of the Good Reason within 90 days following the effective date of the occurrence of the Good Reason, and the Good Reasonremains uncorrected by the Company for more than 30 days following receipt of such written notice of the Good Reason from the Grantee tothe Company, and the effective date of the Grantee’s resignation is within one year following the effective date of the occurrence of the GoodReason.4. Timing and Manner of Settlement of Restricted Stock Units .(a) Settlement Timing. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units become vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with Section 2, Section 3 orSection 6 of this Agreement, the Grantee will have no right to settlement of any such Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units will be settled under thisSection 4 by the Company delivering to the Grantee (or his beneficiary in the event of death) a number of Shares equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units thathave become vested and non-forfeitable and are to be settled at the applicable settlement date. In the case of Restricted Stock Units that become vested and non-forfeitable at the Determination Date in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement (including Restricted Stock Units not forfeited by operation of Section 6(a) or6(c)), such Restricted Stock Units will be settled at a date that is as prompt as practicable after the Determination Date but in no event later than two and one-half(2-1/2) months after the Determination Date (settlement that is prompt but in no event later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the applicable vesting date isreferred to herein as “Prompt Settlement”). The settlement of Restricted Stock Units that become vested and non-forfeitable in circumstances governed by Section3 or Section 6(b) will be as follows:(i) Restricted Stock Units that do not constitute a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A will be settled as follows:(A) Restricted Stock Units that become vested in accordance with Section 6(b) (due to the Grantee’s death) will be settled within theperiod extending to not later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the later of the end of calendar year or the end of the Company’s fiscalyear in which death occurred; and(B) Restricted Stock Units that become vested in accordance with Section 3(a) (on the Change in Control Anniversary) or Section3(b) (during the year following a Change in Control) will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the applicable vesting date underSection 3(a) or 3(b).(ii) Restricted Stock Units that constitute a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A (“409A RSUs”) will be settled as follows: 5(A) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 6(b) (due to the Grantee’s death) will be settled on the 30 th day afterthe date of the Grantee’s death;(B) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 3(a) (on the Change in Control Anniversary), if in connection with theChange in Control there occurred a change in the ownership of the Company, a change in effective control of the Company or a change in theownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(5) (a “409A Change inControl”), will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the first anniversary of the 409A Change in Control, and if there occurred no 409AChange in Control in connection with the Change in Control, such 409A RSUs will be settled in a Prompt Settlement following the earliest ofthe Determination Date, one year after a 409A Change in Control not related to the Change in Control or the termination of the Grantee’sContinuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director, subject to Section 9(b) (including the six-month delay rule); and(C) 409A RSUs that become vested in accordance with Section 3(b) (during the year following a Change in Control) will be settled ina Prompt Settlement following termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director,subject to Section 9(b) (including the six-month delay rule).(b) Manner of Settlement .

In no event will the Company issue fractional Shares.(c) Effect of Settlement . Neither the Grantee nor any of the Grantee’s successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives shall have any furtherrights or interests in any Restricted Stock Units that have been paid and settled. Although a settlement date or range of dates for settlement are specified above inorder to comply with Code Section 409A, the Company retains discretion to determine the settlement date, and no Grantee or beneficiary of a Grantee shall haveany claim for damages or loss by virtue of the fact that the market price of Common Stock was higher on a given date upon which settlement could have been madeas compared to the market price on or after the actual settlement date (any claim relating to settlement will be limited to a claim for delivery of Shares and relateddividend equivalents).5. Restrictions on Transfer . The Grantee shall not have the right to make or permit to occur any transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation orencumbrance of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock Units, related rights to dividend equivalents or any other rights relating thereto, whether outright or assecurity, with or without consideration, voluntary or involuntary, 6and the Restricted Stock Units, related rights to dividend equivalents and other rights relating thereto, shall not be subject to execution, attachment, lien, or similarprocess; provided, however, the Grantee will be entitled to designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any settlement in respect of the Restricted Stock Unitsupon the death of the Grantee, in the manner and to the extent permitted by the Administrator. Any purported transfer or other transaction not permitted under thisSection 5 shall be deemed null and void.6. Forfeiture . Except as may be otherwise provided in this Section 6, the Grantee shall forfeit all of his rights and interest in the Restricted StockUnits and related dividend equivalents if his Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates for any reason before theRestricted Stock Units become vested in accordance with Section 2 or Section 3 of this Agreement.(a) Retirement . In the event of the Grantee’s Retirement in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6(a), the Grantee’sContinuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall be treated as not having terminated for a number of years determined inaccordance with this Section 6(a) for purposes of application of the vesting provisions of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 6(a), “Retirement” meanstermination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director after the earliest of:(i) The Grant Date or the end of the Company fiscal year in the Performance Period at which the Grantee has attained age fifty (50)and completed fifteen (15) Full Years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director;(ii) The Grant Date or the end of the Company fiscal year in the Performance Period at which the Grantee has attained age fifty-eight(58) and completed ten (10) Full Years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director; or(iii) The Grant Date or the end of the Company fiscal year in the Performance Period at which the Grantee has attained age sixty-two(62) and completed five (5) Full Years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director.For purposes of this Section 6(a), “Full Year” means a twelve-month period beginning on the date of the Grantee’s commencement of service for theCompany or a Subsidiary and each anniversary thereof. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6(a), the time period of Continuous Status as an Employee orConsultant or Non-Employee Director for a Grantee whose service with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates and who subsequently returns to service with theCompany or a Subsidiary shall include all time periods of the Grantee’s service for the Company or a Subsidiary for purposes of this Section 6(a). This Section 6(a)will only apply to a Retirement if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director does not terminate due to Cause asdefined in this Agreement. In addition, this Section 76(a) will only apply to a Retirement if the Grantee executes the agreement, if any, required under Section 6(d). For a Grantee who became an Employee orConsultant or Non-Employee Director of the Company or a Subsidiary following the acquisition of his or her employer by the Company or a Subsidiary, servicewith the acquired employer shall not count toward the number of years of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-EmployeeDirector for purposes of this Section 6(a), and Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall be measured from thecommencement of the Grantee ’s service for the Company or a Subsidiary following such acquisition. For purposes of this Section 6(a), the number of years of theGrantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall also include service with Jabil Circuit Co., a Michigan corporation andpredecessor to the Company, and any Predecessor Subsidiary. For purposes of this Section 6(a), “Predecessor Subsidiary” means a company of which not less thanfifty percent (50%) of the voting shares were held by Jabil Circuit Co. or a Predecessor Subsidiary. For purposes of this Section 6(a), for a Grantee who subsequentto the Grant Date performs service for the Company or a Subsidiary in a role as an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary that no longer includes being a statelaw officer of the Company or a substantially equivalent position of a Subsidiary (“Subsequent Non-Officer Service”), the time period of such Grantee’sContinuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall not include the time period of any such Subsequent Non-Officer Service, butshall include any time period during which such Grantee subsequently resumes service for the Company or a Subsidiary in a role as an employee of the Companyor a Subsidiary that includes being a state law officer of the Company or a substantially equivalent position of a Subsidiary.If this Section 6(a) applies to the Grantee’s Retirement, the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Directorshall be treated as not having terminated for the number of years beginning on the effective date of the Retirement, or the remaining portion of the vesting period,whichever is applicable, in accordance with the following table based on the Grantee’s age and full years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant orNon-Employee Director at the later of the Grant Date or the Company’s fiscal year-end next preceding the effective date of the Retirement: Age Full Years of Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant orNon-Employee Director 5 Years 10 Years 15 Years 20 or More Years 50 – 54 None None 1 year 2 years 55 – 57 None None 2 years Full vesting period 58 – 61 None 2 years 3 years Full vesting period 62 or Older Full vesting period Full vesting period Full vesting period Full vesting period 8Accordingly, upon such Retirement, Restricted Stock Units that otherwise would be forfeited because such Restricted Stock Units remain unvested (and notpreviously forfeited) at the effective date of the Retirement will not be forfeited if the Determination Date would have been reached had the Grantee remained inContinuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director for the additional period specified in the table above. Vesting of such Restricted StockUnits will remain subject to Section 2, and settlement of such Restricted Stock Units will remain subject to Section 4. Any portion of the Restricted Stock Units thatcould not potentially become vested under Section 2 assuming the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director as setforth in the above table will be forfeited upon Retirement. The death of the Grantee following Retirement or a Change in Control following Retirement shall notaffect the application of this Section 6(a), although such events will trigger a settlement of the Restricted Stock Units not forfeited by operation of this Section 6(a)in accordance with Section 4.(b) Death . In the event that the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates due to death at atime that the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units have not yet vested, a pro rata portion of the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units shall vest as follows: First, forpurposes of Section 2, the Company shall determine the actual level of the Performance Goal achieved (such determination may be by means of a good faithestimate) as of the Company’s fiscal quarter-end coincident with or next preceding the Grantee’s death (or, if the Grantee’s death occurs in the first fiscal quarter ofthe Performance Period, then the Company’s fiscal quarter-end coincident with or next following the Grantee’s death) and calculating, on a preliminary basis, theresulting number of Restricted Stock Units that would have become vested (based on such calculation) as of the Determination Date. Second, a pro rata portion ofthat number of Restricted Stock Units will be calculated by multiplying that number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months from through the date of death (rounding any partial month to the next whole month) and the denominator of which is . No fractional Shares shall beissued, and subject to the limitation under Section 2(b) on the number of related Shares available under this Agreement (that is, 150 percent of the related Shares),any fractional Share that would have resulted from the foregoing calculations shall be rounded up to the next whole Share. Any Restricted Stock Units that wereunvested at the date of death and that exceed the pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units that become vested under this Section 6(b) shall be forfeited.(c) Disability . In the event that the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates due toDisability at a time that the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units have not yet vested, a pro rata portion of the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units shall remain outstandingand shall be eligible for future vesting based on the actual level of achievement in the Performance Period, provided, however, that non-forfeiture of suchRestricted Stock Units will only apply if the Grantee executes the agreement, if any, required under Section 6(d). The pro rata portion shall be calculated bymultiplying the number of Restricted Stock Units originally granted by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months from the first day of thePerformance Period through the date of termination (rounding any partial month to the next whole month) and the denominator of which is . No fractionalShares shall be issued, and subject to the limitation under Section 2(b) on the number of related 9Shares available under this Agreement (that is, 150 percent of the related Shares), any fractional Share that would have resulted from the foregoing calculationsshall be rounded up to the next whole Share. Vesting of such Restricted Stock Units will remain subject to Section 2, and settlement of such Restricted Stock Unitswill remain subject to Section 4. The death of the Grantee following a termination governed by this Section 6(c), or a Change in Control following suchtermination, shall not increase or decrease the number of Restricted Stock Units forfeited or not forfeited under this Section 6(c), although such events will trigger asettlement of the Restricted Stock Units not forfeited by operation of this Section 6(c) in accordance with Section 4. Any Restricted Stock Units that at any timeafter the date of a termination governed by this Section 6(c) exceed the pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units that remain outstanding and potentially subjectto future vesting under this Section 6(c) shall be forfeited.(d) Execution of Separation Agreement and Release . Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, as a condition to the non-forfeiture ofRestricted Stock Units upon Retirement under Section 6(a) or upon a termination due to Disability under Section 6(c), the Grantee shall be required to execute aseparation agreement and release, in a form prescribed by the Administrator, setting forth covenants relating to noncompetition, nonsolicitation, nondisparagement,confidentiality and similar covenants for the protection of the Company’s business, and releasing the Company from liability in connection with the Grantee’stermination. Such agreement shall provide for the forfeiture and/or clawback of the Restricted Stock Units subject to Section 6(a) or 6(c), and the Shares ofCommon Stock issued or issuable in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, and related dividend equivalents and any other related rights, in the event of theGrantee’s failure to comply with the terms of such agreement. The Administrator will provide the form of such agreement to the Grantee at the date of termination,and the Grantee must execute and return such form within the period specified by law or, if no such period is specified, within 21 days after receipt of the form ofagreement, and not revoke such agreement within any permitted revocation period (the end of these periods being the “Agreement Effectiveness Deadline”). If anyRestricted Stock Units subject to Section 6(a) or 6(c) or related rights would be required to be settled before the Agreement Effectiveness Deadline, the settlementshall not be delayed pending the receipt and effectiveness of the agreement, but any such Restricted Stock Units or related rights settled before such receipt andeffectiveness shall be subject to a “clawback” (repaying to the Company the Shares and cash paid upon settlement) in the event that the agreement is not receivedand effective and not revoked by the Agreement Effectiveness Deadline. 107. Dividend Equivalents; Adjustments .(a) Dividend Equivalents . During the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the date that Shares are issued in settlement of a RestrictedStock Unit, the Grantee will accrue dividend equivalents on Restricted Stock Units (including electively deferred 409A RSUs) equal to the cash dividend ordistribution that would have been paid on the Restricted Stock Unit had the Restricted Stock Unit been an issued and outstanding Share of Common Stock on therecord date for the dividend or distribution. Such accrued dividend equivalents (i) will vest and become payable upon the same terms and at the same time ofsettlement as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate, and (ii) will be denominated and payable solely in cash. Dividend equivalent payments, at settlement,will be net of applicable federal, state, local and foreign income and social insurance withholding taxes (subject to Section 8).(b) Adjustments . The number of Restricted Stock Units (including electively deferred 409A RSUs) credited to the Grantee, and each adjusted coreearnings per share amount and Cumulative EPS amount specified for purposes of the Performance Goal, shall be subject to adjustment by the Company, inaccordance with Section 13 of the Plan, in order to preserve without enlarging the Grantee’s rights with respect to such Restricted Stock Units. Any suchadjustment shall be made taking into account any crediting of cash dividend equivalents to the Grantee under Section 7(a) in connection with such transaction orevent. In the case of an extraordinary cash dividend, the Committee may determine to adjust Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units under this Section 7(b) in lieu ofcrediting cash dividend equivalents under Section 7(a). Restricted Stock Units credited to the Grantee as a result of an adjustment shall be subject to the sameforfeiture and settlement terms as applied to the related Restricted Stock Units prior to the adjustment.8. Responsibility for Taxes and Withholding . Regardless of any action the Company, any of its Subsidiaries and/or the Grantee’s employer takeswith respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Planand legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains theGrantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or any of its affiliates. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Companyand/or its Subsidiaries (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RestrictedStock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the delivery of Shares, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuantto such delivery and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of anyaward to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee becomes subject to tax inmore than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiariesmay be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Companyand/or its Subsidiaries to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, or their respective agents, at theirdiscretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: 11(a) withholding from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries; or(b) withholding from proceeds of the Shares acquired following settlement either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory salearranged by the Company (on the Grantee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization); or(c) withholding in Shares to be delivered upon settlement; or(d) withholding from dividend equivalent payments (payable in cash) related to the Shares to be delivered at settlement.To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimumstatutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes,the Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares attributable to the awarded Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of Sharesare held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.Finally, the Grantee shall pay to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries maybe required to withhold or account for as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that are not satisfied by the means previously described. The Companymay refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligations in connection with theTax-Related Items.9.

In the case of any 409A RSUs, the following restrictions will apply:(i) Separation from Service . Any payment in settlement of the 409A RSUs that is triggered by a termination of Continuous Status as anEmployee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director (or other termination of employment) hereunder will occur only if the Grantee has had a“separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h), with such separation from service treated as the termination forpurposes of determining the timing of any settlement based on such termination.(ii) Six-Month Delay Rule . The “six-month delay rule” will apply to 409A RSUs if these four conditions are met:(A) the Grantee has a separation from service (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h)) for a reason other thandeath;(B) a payment in settlement is triggered by such separation from service; and(C) the Grantee is a “specified employee” under Code Section 409A.If it applies, the six-month delay rule will delay a settlement of 409A RSUs triggered by separation from service where the settlement otherwise wouldoccur within six months after the separation from service, subject to the following:(D) any delayed payment shall be made on the date six months and one day after separation from service;(E) during the six-month delay period, accelerated settlement will be permitted in the event of the Grantee’s death and for no otherreason (including no acceleration upon a Change in Control) except to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A; and(F) any settlement that is not triggered by a separation from service, or is triggered by a separation from service but would be mademore than six months after separation (without applying this six-month delay rule), shall be unaffected by the six-month delay rule. 13(c) Other Compliance Provisions . The following provisions apply to Restricted Stock Units:(i) Each tranche of Restricted Stock Units (including dividend equivalents accrued thereon) that potentially could vest at or followinga Determination Date under Section 2 shall be deemed a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A.(ii) The settlement of 409A RSUs may not be accelerated by the Company except to the extent permitted under Code Section409A. The Company may, however, accelerate vesting (i.e., may waive the risk of forfeiture tied to termination of the Grantee’s ContinuousStatus as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director) of 409A RSUs, without changing the settlement terms of such 409A RSUs.(iii) It is understood that Good Reason for purposes of this Agreement is limited to circumstances that qualify under TreasuryRegulation § 1.409A-1(n)(2).(iv) Any election to defer settlement of Restricted Stock Units must comply with the election timing rules under Code Section 409A.(v) Any restriction imposed on 409A RSUs hereunder or under the terms of other documents solely to ensure compliance with CodeSection 409A shall not be applied to a Restricted Stock Unit that is not a 409A RSU except to the extent necessary to preserve the status ofsuch Restricted Stock Unit as not being a “deferral of compensation” under Code Section 409A.(vi) If any mandatory term required for 409A RSUs or other RSUs, or related dividend equivalents or other related rights, to avoid taxpenalties under Code Section 409A is not otherwise explicitly provided under this document or other applicable documents, such term ishereby incorporated by reference and fully applicable as though set forth at length herein.(vii) In the case of any settlement of Restricted Stock Units during a specified period following the Determination Date or other datetriggering a right to settlement, the Grantee shall have no influence (other than permitted deferral elections) on any determination as to the taxyear in which the settlement will be made.(viii) In the case of any Restricted Stock Unit that is not a 409A RSU, if the circumstances arise constituting a Disability buttermination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director has not in fact resulted immediatelywithout an election by the Grantee, then only the Company or a Subsidiary may elect to terminate the Grantee’s Continuous Status as anEmployee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director due to such Disability. 14(ix) If the Company has a right of setoff that could apply to a 409A RSU, such right may only be exercised at the time the 409A RSUwould have been settled, and may be exercised only as a setoff against an obligation that arose not more than 30 days before and within thesame year as the settlement date if application of such setoff right against an earlier obligation would not be permitted under Code Section409A.10.

Restrictions on Transfer . The Grantee shall not have the right to make or permit to occur any transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation orencumbrance of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock Units, related rights to dividend equivalents or any other rights relating thereto, whether outright or assecurity, with or without consideration, voluntary or involuntary, 6and the Restricted Stock Units, related rights to dividend equivalents and other rights relating thereto, shall not be subject to execution, attachment, lien, or similarprocess; provided, however, the Grantee will be entitled to designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any settlement in respect of the Restricted Stock Unitsupon the death of the Grantee, in the manner and to the extent permitted by the Administrator.

In the event that the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates due to death at atime that the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units have not yet vested, a pro rata portion of the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units shall vest as follows: First, forpurposes of Section 2, the Company shall determine the actual level of the Performance Goal achieved (such determination may be by means of a good faithestimate) as of the Company’s fiscal quarter-end coincident with or next preceding the Grantee’s death (or, if the Grantee’s death occurs in the first fiscal quarter ofthe Performance Period, then the Company’s fiscal quarter-end coincident with or next following the Grantee’s death) and calculating, on a preliminary basis, theresulting number of Restricted Stock Units that would have become vested (based on such calculation) as of the Determination Date. Second, a pro rata portion ofthat number of Restricted Stock Units will be calculated by multiplying that number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months from the firstday of the Performance Period through the date of death (rounding any partial month to the next whole month) and the denominator of which is . Nofractional Shares shall be issued, and subject to the limitation under Section 2(b) on the number of related Shares available under this Agreement (that is, 150percent of the related Shares), any fractional Share that would have resulted from the foregoing calculations shall be rounded up to the next whole Share. AnyRestricted Stock Units that were unvested at the date of death and that exceed the pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units that become vested under thisSection 6(a) shall be forfeited.(b) Disability .

The pro rata portion shall be calculated bymultiplying the number of Restricted Stock Units originally granted by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months from the first day of thePerformance Period through the date of termination (rounding any partial month to the next whole month) and the denominator of which is . No fractionalShares shall be issued, and subject to the limitation under Section 2(b) on the number of related 7Shares available under this Agreement (that is, 150 percent of the related Shares), any fractional Share that would have resulted from the foregoing calculationsshall be rounded up to the next whole Share. Vesting of such Restricted Stock Units will remain subject to Section 2, and settlement of such Restricted Stock Unitswill remain subject to Section 4. The death of the Grantee following a termination governed by this Section 6(b), or a Change in Control following suchtermination, shall not increase or decrease the number of Restricted Stock Units forfeited or not forfeited under this Section 6(b), although such events will trigger asettlement of the Restricted Stock Units not forfeited by operation of this Section 6(b) in accordance with Section 4. Any Restricted Stock Units that at any timeafter the date of a termination governed by this Section 6(b) exceed the pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units that remain outstanding and potentiallysubject to future vesting under this Section 6(b) shall be forfeited.(c) Execution of Separation Agreement and Release . Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, as a condition to the non-forfeiture ofRestricted Stock Units upon a termination due to Disability under Section 6(b), the Grantee shall be required to execute a separation agreement and release, in aform prescribed by the Administrator, setting forth covenants relating to noncompetition, nonsolicitation, nondisparagement, confidentiality and similar covenantsfor the protection of the Company’s business, and releasing the Company from liability in connection with the Grantee’s termination.

The Administrator will provide the form of such agreement to the Grantee at the date of termination, and the Grantee must execute and return such formwithin the period specified by law or, if no such period is specified, within 21 days after receipt of the form of agreement, and not revoke such agreement withinany permitted revocation period (the end of these periods being the “Agreement Effectiveness Deadline”). If any Restricted Stock Units subject to Section 6(b) orrelated rights would be required to be settled before the Agreement Effectiveness Deadline, the settlement shall not be delayed pending the receipt andeffectiveness of the agreement, but any such Restricted Stock Units or related rights settled before such receipt and effectiveness shall be subject to a “clawback”(repaying to the Company the Shares and cash paid upon settlement) in the event that the agreement is not received and effective and not revoked by the AgreementEffectiveness Deadline. 87. Dividend Equivalents; Adjustments .(a) Dividend Equivalents . During the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the date that Shares are issued in settlement of a RestrictedStock Unit, the Grantee will accrue dividend equivalents on Restricted Stock Units equal to the cash dividend or distribution that would have been paid on theRestricted Stock Unit had the Restricted Stock Unit been an issued and outstanding Share of Common Stock on the record date for the dividend ordistribution. Such accrued dividend equivalents (i) will vest and become payable upon the same terms and at the same time of settlement as the Restricted StockUnits to which they relate, and (ii) will be denominated and payable solely in cash.

Any such adjustment shall be made taking into account any crediting ofcash dividend equivalents to the Grantee under Section 7(a) in connection with such transaction or event. In the case of an extraordinary cash dividend, theCommittee may determine to adjust Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units under this Section 7(b) in lieu of crediting cash dividend equivalents under Section7(a). Restricted Stock Units credited to the Grantee as a result of an adjustment shall be subject to the same forfeiture and settlement terms as applied to the relatedRestricted Stock Units prior to the adjustment.8. Responsibility for Taxes and Withholding . Regardless of any action the Company, any of its Subsidiaries and/or the Grantee’s employer takeswith respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Planand legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains theGrantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or any of its affiliates. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Companyand/or its Subsidiaries (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RestrictedStock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the delivery of Shares, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuantto such delivery and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of anyaward to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee becomes subject to tax inmore than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiariesmay be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Companyand/or its Subsidiaries to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, or their respective agents, at theirdiscretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: 9(a) withholding from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries; or(b) withholding from proceeds of the Shares acquired following settlement either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory salearranged by the Company (on the Grantee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization); or(c) withholding in Shares to be delivered upon settlement; or(d) withholding from dividend equivalent payments (payable in cash) related to the Shares to be delivered at settlement.To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimumstatutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes,the Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares attributable to the awarded Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of Sharesare held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.Finally, the Grantee shall pay to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries maybe required to withhold or account for as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that are not satisfied by the means previously described. The Companymay refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligations in connection with theTax-Related Items.9.

Any payment in settlement of the 409A RSUs that is triggered by a termination of Continuous Status as anEmployee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director (or other termination of employment) hereunder will occur only if the Grantee has had a“separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h), with such separation from service treated as the termination forpurposes of determining the timing of any settlement based on such termination.(ii) Six-Month Delay Rule . The “six-month delay rule” will apply to 409A RSUs if these four conditions are met:(A) the Grantee has a separation from service (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h)) for a reason other thandeath;(B) a payment in settlement is triggered by such separation from service; and(C) the Grantee is a “specified employee” under Code Section 409A.If it applies, the six-month delay rule will delay a settlement of 409A RSUs triggered by separation from service where the settlement otherwise wouldoccur within six months after the separation from service, subject to the following:(D) any delayed payment shall be made on the date six months and one day after separation from service;(E) during the six-month delay period, accelerated settlement will be permitted in the event of the Grantee’s death and for no otherreason (including no acceleration upon a Change in Control) except to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A; and(F) any settlement that is not triggered by a separation from service, or is triggered by a separation from service but would be mademore than six months after separation (without applying this six-month delay rule), shall be unaffected by the six-month delay rule.(c) Other Compliance Provisions . The following provisions apply to Restricted Stock Units: 11(i) Each tranche of Restricted Stock Units (including dividend equivalents accrued thereon) that potentially could vest at or following aDetermination Date under Section 2 shall be deemed a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A.(ii) The settlement of 409A RSUs may not be accelerated by the Company except to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A. TheCompany may, however, accelerate vesting (i.e., may waive the risk of forfeiture tied to termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Status as anEmployee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director) of 409A RSUs, without changing the settlement terms of such 409A RSUs.(iii) It is understood that Good Reason for purposes of this Agreement is limited to circumstances that qualify under Treasury Regulation§ 1.409A-1(n)(2).(iv) Any restriction imposed on 409A RSUs hereunder or under the terms of other documents solely to ensure compliance with Code Section409A shall not be applied to a Restricted Stock Unit that is not a 409A RSU except to the extent necessary to preserve the status of such RestrictedStock Unit as not being a “deferral of compensation” under Code Section 409A.(v) If any mandatory term required for 409A RSUs or other RSUs, or related dividend equivalents or other related rights, to avoid taxpenalties under Code Section 409A is not otherwise explicitly provided under this document or other applicable documents, such term is herebyincorporated by reference and fully applicable as though set forth at length herein.(vi) In the case of any settlement of Restricted Stock Units during a specified period following the Determination Date or other date triggeringa right to settlement, the Grantee shall have no influence on any determination as to the tax year in which the settlement will be made.(vii) In the case of any Restricted Stock Unit that is not a 409A RSU, if the circumstances arise constituting a Disability but termination of theGrantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director has not in fact resulted immediately without an election by theGrantee, then only the Company or a Subsidiary may elect to terminate the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director due to such Disability.(viii) If the Company has a right of setoff that could apply to a 409A RSU, such right may only be exercised at the time the 409A RSU wouldhave been settled, and may be exercised only as a setoff against an obligation that arose not more than 30 days before and within the same year as thesettlement date if application of such setoff right against an earlier obligation would not be permitted under Code Section 409A. 1210.
