Exhibit 99.3
Dear Molex Supplier,
We are writing to you today to update you on some important Molex news. We are pleased to announce that Molex has agreed to be acquired by Koch Industries, one of the world’s largest and most successful private companies, with annual revenues of about $115 billion and a proven track record of successful acquisitions.
This is an exciting announcement for us that we believe will yield important benefits for our suppliers and customers, while ensuring the continuity of our business and relationships. Molex will operate as a standalone company in the Koch portfolio and will retain the Molex name and brand. It will continue to be run by the same experienced management team that is in place today and remain headquartered in Lisle, Il.
Over the long-term, we believe this transaction will accelerate our ability to seize on industry growth opportunities and deliver continued product innovation and consistent, reliable operational performance. We believe this move will make Molex even better positioned to navigate an evolving industry, ensuring continuity, continued innovation in products and the overall long-term stability of the business.
For now, it continues to be business as usual at Molex and you should not expect any changes in your partnership with us. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and approval from our shareholders, who will vote on the acquisition later this year.
If you should have any questions please contact your Molex representative. We would like to thank you for your continued partnership with Molex and we look forward to continuing our relationship in the future.
Sincerely,
Martin P. Slark
Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Molex Incorporated
