St. Petersburg, FL—July 28, 2009 - Jabil Circuit, Inc. (NYSE:JBL) announced today its intention to offer $200.0 million of senior unsecured notes due 2016 (the “Offering”), subject to market conditions.

Jabil also announced today a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase any and all of its $300.0 million 5.875% Senior Notes, which mature on July 15, 2010 (the “5.875% Senior Notes”).
