Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed, on June 27, 2015, Amphenol Corporation (“Amphenol” or the “Company”) entered into a letter agreement (the “Offer Letter”), as a guarantor, with the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Amphenol East Asia Limited (the “Buyer”), and Fidji Luxembourg (BC4) Sarl (the “Seller”) relating to the acquisition of FCI Asia Pte Ltd (“FCI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Seller (the “Acquisition”).

FCI is a global leader in interconnect solutions for the telecom, datacom, wireless communications and industrial markets. FCI is headquartered in Singapore.

Pursuant to the terms of the Offer Letter, after completion of the consultation process with one of FCI’s subsidiaries’ works’ councils, Seller had the right to require the Buyer to enter into a Sale and Purchase Agreement with the Seller (the “Purchase Agreement”) providing for the purchase by the Buyer of all of the issued share capital of FCI, with the obligations of the Buyer guaranteed by the Company. The consultation process with such works’ councils was completed on July 3, 2015, and on July 17, 2015, the Buyer entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Seller.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer has agreed to acquire all of the issued share capital of FCI from the Seller for an aggregate purchase price of $1,275 million in cash, subject to working capital and net cash adjustments.

Completion of the Acquisition will be subject to certain regulatory consents and approvals. The Acquisition is expected to be completed by the end of 2015.

The foregoing discussion of the terms of the Purchase Agreement contained in this Item 1.01 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Please refer to Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, for some factors that could cause the actual results to differ from estimates.
