CONSULTING AGREEMENT

THIS CONSULTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into on January 22, 2026, by and between Jabil, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) and Mark T. Mondello (“Mondello”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Mondello’s employment with the Company and his role as Executive Chairman of the Company ended effective as of January 22, 2026 (the “Employment End Date”); and

WHEREAS, the Company recognizes that Mondello has substantial knowledge with respect to the business and operations of the Company and desires to enter into this Agreement with Mondello pursuant to which he shall continue to provide transition, advisory and strategic services to the Company as a non-employee consultant following the Employment End Date.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Consulting Services.

(a) The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that, effective as of the Employment End Date, Mondello shall commence service as a non-employee consultant to the Company and shall continue to provide such services through the two-year anniversary of the Employment End Date (the “Consulting Period”).

(b) Mondello agrees to be reasonably available to provide such transition, advisory and strategic services during the Consulting Period as are reasonably requested by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or the Company’s Board of Directors from time to time.

(c) Mondello shall be fully indemnified to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and the Company’s bylaws (as in effect from time to time) in connection with his rendering of the consulting services under this Agreement. Unless otherwise mutually agreed, the consulting services shall be rendered remotely by Mondello at such location(s) of his choosing. Mondello shall be reimbursed for reasonable travel expenses (hotel, airfare and carfare as applicable) when his services are required at any other location.

(d) The Consulting Period shall immediately terminate, and no further Consulting Fee (as defined below) shall be paid, and no further benefits set forth in Section 2(c) shall be provided, to Mondello, in the event that Mondello is terminated from service for “Cause” (as defined in the Jabil Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan as in effect on the Employment End Date).

(e) Mondello hereby represents and warrants that he shall (i) act honestly and in good faith and in the best interests of the Company at all times while providing the consulting services; (ii) use professional care, diligence and skill and endeavor to provide and complete the consulting services to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company; (iii) comply with all applicable laws, regulations, rules, codes, orders and standards imposed by applicable federal, state, provincial, or local government authorities with respect to the provision of any consulting services; and (iv) not subcontract the provision of any consulting services to any third party without receiving prior written consent from the Company.


2. Consulting Fees.

(a) As consideration for the consulting services, the Company shall provide Mondello with a monthly consulting fee of $145,833.00 (the “Consulting Fee”), which shall be pro-rated for any partial month in which consulting services are rendered. The Consulting Fee shall be paid to Mondello as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within fifteen (15) days, following the final business day of the month for which the consulting services were performed. The Company shall not withhold any taxes from the Consulting Fee. Mondello acknowledges and agrees that he shall be solely responsible for the payment of all taxes with respect to the payment of the Consulting Fee. If the Company terminates this Agreement without Cause prior to the end of the Consulting Period or otherwise materially breaches (without promptly curing following the delivery or written notice by Mondello of the event constituting breach) any of its obligations owed to Mondello hereunder, all remaining monthly payments due to Mondello through the end of the Consulting Period shall be immediately due and payable to Mondello.

(b) The Company shall reimburse Mondello for his reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the consulting services in accordance with the Company’s existing expense reimbursement procedures.

(d) Mondello acknowledges and agrees that (i) the payments and benefits set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement shall be the sole compensation for his provision of the consulting services under this Agreement, (ii) except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, he is not entitled to any severance payments or benefits as a result of the cessation of his employment (other than any accrued payments required by applicable law) and (iii) any non-competition provision to which he is subject to in any agreement between him and the Company shall apply through the second anniversary of the Employment End Date.

3. Status as an Independent Contractor.

(a) The parties understand and acknowledge that, effective as of the Employment End Date, Mondello’s relationship with the Company shall be that of an independent contractor and nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture or any employer-employee relationship between Mondello on the one hand and the Company or any of its affiliates on the other hand. The Company shall not have the authority to, nor shall it, supervise, direct or control the manner, means, details or methods utilized by Mondello to perform the consulting services under this Agreement.

Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder shall be assignable or transferable by Mondello, his beneficiaries or legal representatives, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Mondello’s legal personal representatives and his beneficiaries with respect to amounts owed as of Mondello’s death.
