Dear Mr. Gilmore:

I am writing you on behalf of Jabil Circuit, Inc. (“Jabil”) in connection with your letter dated March 5, 2014. I am sending you this letter as a follow up to a conversation I had with Gabriel Eckstein earlier today.

The Comment Letter requested that Jabil either provide a response within 10 business days or a notice of when it would provide a response. As I mentioned to Mr. Eckstein, Jabil’s second fiscal quarter just ended on February 28, 2014 and it is currently preparing its financial statements in connection with its earnings release scheduled for March 19, 2014. As a result, Jabil anticipates needing an additional five business days to send its response.

Please let me know if you have any questions concerning the foregoing.

Very truly yours, HOLLAND & KNIGHT, LLP.
