Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed October 23, 2024. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
On October 17, 2024, the Board of Directors of Jabil Inc. approved and adopted Amended and Restated Bylaws, which took effect immediately.
The principal change lowers the ownership threshold required to call a special meeting of stockholders from a majority of shares entitled to vote at the meeting to shares representing at least twenty-five percent of the voting power of the stock entitled to vote on the matter. The amendments also clarify and update related procedural mechanics. The change alters stockholder governance rather than the company's operations or finances.
It gives a smaller group of stockholders the ability to call a special meeting, which may matter to investors seeking to raise issues between annual meetings. The filing reports no financial results, no transaction, and no other corporate action.
The full text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws is filed as Exhibit 3.1, and a version marked to show the changes from the prior bylaws is filed as Exhibit 3.2. Both are incorporated by reference into the filing, and the filing also includes the Cover Page Interactive Data File as Exhibit 104.
