Flextronics Announces Extension of Early Tender/Consent Deadline in its
Partial Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation for its 6 1/2% and 6 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes
Singapore, June 12, 2009 — Flextronics International Ltd. (NASDAQ: FLEX) announced today that it is extending the Early Tender/Consent Deadline for its previously announced cash tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase up to $100,000,000 of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 6 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the “6 1/2% Notes”), and up to $100,000,000 of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 6 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the “6 1/4% Notes”), and its related consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) to adopt certain proposed amendments to the restricted payments covenants and certain related definitions contained in each of the indentures under which the Notes were issued. The Early Tender/Consent Deadline has been extended from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 11, 2009 to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 16, 2009, unless further extended or earlier terminated.
The expiration time of the Offer remains 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on June 25, 2009, unless extended or earlier terminated (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Time”).
Holders that wish to receive an early tender premium (the “Early Tender Premium”) of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes and a consent fee (the “Consent Fee”) equal to $10.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes must validly tender their Notes prior to the Early Tender/Consent Deadline.
Holders that validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender/Consent Deadline and prior to the Expiration Time will be eligible to receive only the applicable Base Offer Consideration set forth in the table below. In addition to the Total Consideration set forth in the table below or the Base Offer Consideration, as the case may be, holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase in the Offer will receive accrued and unpaid interest from and including the last interest payment date up to, but excluding, the date on which payment of the Total Consideration or the Base Offer Consideration, as the case may be, for Notes purchased in the Offer is deposited by Flextronics with the depositary, which is expected to occur promptly following the Expiration Time. If the aggregate principal amount of 6 1/2% Notes or 6 1/4% Notes tendered exceeds the $100,000,000 maximum acceptance amount of such Notes, tendering holders of the oversubscribed series of Notes will be subject to proration.
Holders may validly deliver their consents without tendering the related Notes. Holders that validly deliver consents prior to the Early Tender/Consent Deadline, whether or not such holders also tender the related Notes, will be eligible to receive the Consent Fee. Holders that validly tender Notes prior to the Early Tender/Consent Deadline will be deemed to have delivered consents with respect to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes so tendered (and will be eligible to receive the Consent Fee in respect thereof), even if a smaller principal amount is accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer due to proration.
Holders that have previously validly tendered Notes do not need to re-tender their Notes or take any other action to be eligible to receive the Total Consideration. Holders that have previously validly delivered their consents do not need to re-deliver their consents or take any other action to be eligible to receive the Consent Fee.
As previously announced, the following table provides information with respect to the Offer and the Consent Solicitation and summarizes the Base Offer Consideration, Early Tender Premium, Consent Fee and Total Consideration that may be payable:
