This filing supplies Part III information (directors, executive officers, compensation, security ownership, and related transactions) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1996, for Jabil Circuit, Inc. (now Jabil Inc.).

As of November 22, 1996, 17,905,823 shares of Common Stock were outstanding, and the aggregate market value of non-affiliate voting stock was approximately $242,276,302,a based on the Nasdaq National Market closing price on that date.

All directors and executive officers as a group owned 9,355,491 shares, or 52.2%. Morean and Sansone each received a $400,000d bonus in fiscal 1996, and each non-employee director receives $5,000 per calendar quarter. The company's Compensation Committee consists of Lawrence J.
