Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
     The Jabil Circuit, Inc. 2005 Proxy Statement, which was mailed to stockholders on or about December 16, 2005, solicits stockholder votes on several important matters, including proposed amendments to our 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Subsequent to the distribution of our 2005 Proxy Statement, we received feedback in connection with that proposal regarding concerns over existing Plan language that permits, without prior stockholder approval, a buy-out of an outstanding award for cash or shares. That Plan feature has never been used before. In light of the importance of the Plan to our ability to attract and retain employees, the Board of Directors amended the Plan today to alleviate the above concerns by expressly prohibiting such a buy-out without the prior approval or consent of the Company’s stockholders. Such amendment did not require stockholder approval and is not being voted on at the upcoming meeting.
     The information furnished herewith pursuant to Item 7.01 of this Current Report shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. The information in this Current Report shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date of this Current Report, regardless of any general incorporation language in the filing, unless otherwise expressly stated in such filing.
