On November 18, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Jacobs Solutions Inc. (the “Company”) increased the size of the Board from 10 to 11 authorized directors and elected Diane Bryant to fill the vacancy, effective immediately. Ms. Bryant will serve for an initial term that will expire at the annual meeting of shareholders in 2026.

The Board, after consideration of all facts and circumstances, affirmatively determined that Ms. Bryant is an independent director under the corporate governance standards of the New York Stock Exchange and the Company’s guidelines for determining independence.

In connection with her election, Ms. Bryant will receive the standard, annual compensation for the Company’s non-management directors. This annual compensation includes (i) a cash retainer in the amount of $135,000 per year, and (ii) pursuant to the Company’s 1999 Outside Director Plan, as amended and restated, an award of restricted stock units with an aggregate value of $200,000, pro-rated based on her election date. Ms. Bryant will also be eligible to participate in the Jacobs Director Deferral Plan.

There were no understandings or other agreements or arrangements between Ms. Bryant, on the one hand, and any other person, on the other hand, pursuant to which she was appointed as a director of the Company. Furthermore, there are no transactions between Ms. Bryant and the Company that would be required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
