Jonathan S. Hoak
Palo Alto, California

 

Dear Jonathan,

 

On behalf of Flextronics, I am delighted to offer you the position of General Counsel & Corporate Secretary, working at our Milpitas, California facility, reporting to me. The specific details of the offer are as follows:

 

Cash Compensation:

 

The starting annual salary for this position is $425,000.00, which is equivalent to $17,708.33 semi-monthly. Paydays are on the 15th and last day of each month. You are also eligible to participate in the Flextronics Quarterly Bonus Program. Your target bonus is 70% of your base quarterly salary, with an opportunity for a 2X multiplier for a total bonus opportunity of 140% of salary, or $595,000.00. Actual payout level is dependent upon company performance and in accordance with the bonus plan for your organization. Assuming you join Flextronics on or before February 1, 2011, you will be eligible for full FY2011 Q4 bonus which will be payable approximately 45 days after the close of the quarter. The amount will be determined based on the performance of your particular bonus program for that quarter.

 

Additionally, on your first regularly scheduled payroll date, you shall be advanced a $212,500.00 contingent sign-on bonus, less withholding and customary payroll deductions. You agree to reimburse the Company for the contingent sign-on bonus should you voluntarily terminate your employment with the Company within one year of your hire date. Reimbursement to the Company will be made within ten days of termination. Should you remain or be terminated involuntarily before completing one year, the sign-on bonus will then be considered earned and not reimbursed to the Company.

 

Equity Compensation:

 

Pending approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, you will also receive an option to purchase 150,000 shares of Flextronics stock, priced at fair market value of Flextronics stock on the date of grant. The option will vest as follows: 25% of the total option shares will vest and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant and 75% of the total shares will vest and become exercisable in equal increments over thirty-six (36) months beginning the first month after the first anniversary of grant date. The vesting schedule and all terms, conditions, and limitation of the stock options are set forth in the applicable stock grant notice, the Company’s standard stock option agreement and the stock option plan.

 

Additionally, also pending approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, you will be granted a Share Bonus Award for 50,000 shares of Flextronics stock. The shares constituting the award shall be issued as a four-year pro-rata vesting, beginning on the date of the initial approval. The Share Bonus Award shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable plans and policies.

 

 



 

You will also be eligible to participate in our annual stock focal review. Annual stock awards are determined on a case-by-case basis in accordance with your individual performance and market benchmarks for your position.

 

The Compensation Committee reviews and approves all equity grant requests during the next scheduled quarterly meeting following the quarter in which the recommendation was made.

 

Long Term Cash Incentive Plan:

 

Subject to Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approval, you will be eligible to participate in the Flextronics Long Term Cash Incentive Plan, which will entitle you to annual company contributions of 30% of your base salary (or $127,500.00). The Long Term Cash Incentive Plan annual contribution is subject to company performance. Also, beginning in 2011 you will have the opportunity to make additional elective contributions to the plan on a tax-deferred basis.

 

Other Benefits:

 

As a Flextronics Executive team member, you will be eligible to participate in our Tracking Free Attendance Program, and will be eligible for a suite of insurance coverage (see plan booklet) and 401k participation including elective deferrals and company matching effective the first of the month following your date of hire. Timely enrollment of specific benefit plans is critical. You must enroll by the first of the month following your date of hire; or you will default to no coverage and will not be able to make an election until the next annual “Open Enrollment.” Consult the plan booklet for more information. Also note that the Company reserves the right to modify wages and benefits from time to time at its discretion.
