Mr. Michael Dastoor, 55 years old, is the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Jabil Inc. (NYSE:JBL) ("Jabil"), a global manufacturing services company. Mr. Dastoor joined Jabil in 2000 and served as Senior Vice President and Controller from 2010 through 2018 and served as Controller from 2004 to 2010. Previously, he worked for seven years as Regional Chief Financial Officer at Inchape plc (LSE:INCH), a British multinational automotive distribution, retail and services company, leading business process re-engineering for the Eastern Mediterranean and Southeast Asia regions.

Mr. Dastoor is a graduate of the University of Bombay (now Mumbai) and a chartered accountant through the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales where he spent seven years in audit covering the United Kingdom and Europe.

Pursuant to this program, each member of the Board, who is not an employee of the Company, receives an annual retainer of $200,000, payable $80,000 in cash and $120,000 in stock. The Chairman and Committee Chairs receive additional fees, which are not applicable to Mr. Dastoor.
