Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities and Item 2.06. Material Impairments.

On July 20, 2006, Jabil Circuit, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “July 8-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission that contained disclosure surrounding a restructuring plan that was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Restructuring Plan”). The Restructuring Plan was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors to better align the Company’s manufacturing capacity in certain higher cost geographies and to properly size its manufacturing sites with perceived current market conditions. At the time of filing, the Company announced that it expected to recognize approximately $200 to $250 million in pre-tax restructuring and impairment costs during the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter of 2006 and over the course of fiscal years 2007 and 2008, but that it had not finalized the exact timing of the charges and cash outflows, as well as the estimated cost ranges by category type. The $200 to $250 million range includes pre-tax restructuring charges related to employee severance and benefit costs, contract termination costs, fixed asset impairment costs, other related restructuring costs and valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets for certain plants impacted by the Restructuring Plan. Subsequently, on September 28, 2006, March 28, 2007, and June 27, 2007, the Company filed amendments to the July 8-K by filing a Form 8-K/A on each date to disclose a determination of the restructuring and impairment charges incurred through the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter of 2006 and then the Company’s second and third fiscal quarters of 2007. Although such previously disclosed estimates related to the overall Restructuring Plan have not materially changed, a determination of the restructuring and impairment charges incurred through the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter of 2007 has been made. In addition, the Company has now determined that the resulting restructuring and impairment costs that are expected to be incurred will be toward the high end of the previously disclosed range of $200 to $250 million. The timing of the remaining charges to be incurred by the Company continues to be expected primarily through fiscal year 2008, with certain contract termination costs to be incurred through fiscal year 2011.

The Company expects to record approximately $189.4 million of the expected $250 million restructuring and impairment charge during the Company’s five consecutive fiscal quarters ended August 31, 2007, including both costs associated with exit or disposal activities of approximately $105.1 million and impairments of approximately $84.3 million. The expected costs associated with exit or disposal activities of approximately $105.1 million include employee severance and benefit costs of approximately $98.7 million, contract termination costs of approximately $12.8 million and other related restructuring costs of approximately $2.0 million, off-set by approximately $8.4 million of proceeds received in connection with facility closure costs. The expected impairment costs of approximately $84.3 million includes valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets of approximately $35.1 million and fixed asset impairment costs of approximately $49.2 million. Of the remaining approximately $60.6 million that the Company expects to record in connection with the Restructuring Plan primarily in fiscal year 2008, it expects to incur approximately $51.1 million of employee severance and benefit costs, approximately $4.1 million of contract termination costs, approximately $5.2 million of fixed asset impairment costs and approximately $0.2 million of other related restructuring costs.

The exact timing of the remaining estimated range of restructuring and impairment costs, as well as the remaining estimated cost ranges by category type, have not been finalized. This information will be subject to timetables for the transition of functions, consultation with employees and their representatives as well as the statutory severance requirements of the particular legal jurisdictions impacted, and the amount and timing of the actual charges may vary due to a variety of factors. The Restructuring Plan as discussed reflects the Company’s intention only and the restructuring decisions at certain foreign plants are still subject to consultation with the Company’s employees and their representatives.

Cash expenditures of approximately $74.7 million related to the Restructuring Plan were made in the Company’s five consecutive fiscal quarters ended August 31, 2007, including approximately $68.2 million related to employee severance and benefit costs, approximately $5.9 million related to contract termination costs and approximately $0.6 million related to other related restructuring costs. These cash expenditures were off-set by cash proceeds of $8.4 million that were received by the Company in connection with facility closure costs. The remaining expected cash expenditures related to the Restructuring Plan, excluding fixed asset impairment charges and tax valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets, of approximately $94.2 million are currently expected to be made primarily during fiscal years 2008 through 2011 in the following amounts: approximately $81.5 million of employee severance and benefit costs; approximately $11.0 million of contract termination costs; and approximately $1.7 million of other related restructuring costs.

The exact timing of these charges and cash outflows has not been finalized.

To the extent required by applicable rules, the Company will file one or more additional amendments to the Current Report on Form 8-K as details of the Restructuring Plan are refined and estimates of related costs and charges are finalized.
