On September 15, 2022, Jacobs Solutions Inc. (the "Company") announced that Bob

participate in such plans in their new roles. Any changes in base salary, the
incentive target under the Plan and the amount of the fiscal 2023 equity
incentive grant will be determined and approved by the Human Resource and
Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors in November 2022.
There are no arrangements or understandings between either Mr. Pragada or
