This Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy are first being mailed to stockholders on or about January 30, 2006.

Who Can Vote

Stockholders of record at the close of business on January 23, 2006 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the close of business on the Record Date, the Company had 24,285,287 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value (the “Common Stock”), outstanding. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of outstanding Common Stock constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share held as of the Record Date.

How You Can Vote

You may vote your shares at the Annual Meeting either in person or by proxy. To vote by proxy, you should mark, date, sign and mail the enclosed proxy in the prepaid envelope. Giving a proxy will not affect your right to vote your shares if you attend the Annual Meeting and want to vote in person. The shares represented by the proxies received in response to this solicitation and not properly revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions therein. On the matters coming before the Annual Meeting for which a choice has been specified by a stockholder on the proxy card, the shares will be voted accordingly. If you return your proxy, but do not mark your voting preference, the individuals named as proxies will vote your sharesFOR the election of the two nominees for Class II director listed in this Proxy Statement,FOR the ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm andFOR the approval of the amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan.

Revocation of Proxies

Stockholders can revoke their proxies at any time before they are exercised in any of three ways:

• by submitting written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company prior to the Annual Meeting; or

• by submitting another proxy of a later date that is properly executed prior to or at the Annual Meeting.

Required Vote

Directors are elected by a plurality vote. The two nominees for Class II director who receive the most votes cast in their favor will be elected to serve as directors. The other proposals submitted for stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting will be decided by the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposals. Abstentions with respect to any proposal are treated as shares present or represented and entitled to vote on that proposal and thus have the same effect as negative votes. If a broker which is the record holder of shares indicates on a proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote on a particular proposal as to such shares, or if shares are not voted in other circumstances in which proxy authority is defective or has been withheld with respect to a particular proposal, these non-voted shares will be counted for quorum purposes but are not deemed to be present or represented for purposes of determining whether stockholder approval of that proposal has been obtained.

IMPORTANT

Please mark, sign and date the enclosed proxy and return it at your earliest convenience in the enclosed postage-prepaid return envelope, so that, whether you intend to be present at the Annual Meeting or not, your shares can be voted. This will not limit your rights to attend or vote at the Annual Meeting.

Board Meetings and Committees

The Board held 12 meetings during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005. In fiscal year 2005, all incumbent directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and of the committees on which such directors serve. The Board encourages the directors to attend the annual meetings of its stockholders. In 2005, all of the directors then serving on the Board attended the annual meeting.

The Board has a standing Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Board has determined that each director who serves on these committees is “independent,” as that term is defined by applicable listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, with the exception of Dr. Lim who serves on both the Compensation Committee and the Nominating Committee. Dr. Lim is not deemed independent under the

4

applicable rules because he serves as Group General Manager (WearnesTech Solutions & Special Projects) for WBL Corporation, whose subsidiaries in turn own a majority of the outstanding Common Stock. However, in accordance with the Nasdaq rules, the Board has determined that exceptional and limited circumstances exist, due in part to the majority stockholder position of the WBL Corporation entities, and that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders that Dr. Lim serve as a member of these committees.

In addition, each member of the Compensation Committee qualifies as a non-employee director for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Board has approved a charter for each of these committees that can be found on the Company’s website atwww.mflex.com.

The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm and for ensuring that such accounting firm is independent of management.

Number of Members: Five

Mr. Dadamo

Mr. Kane

Dr. Lim

Mr. Yau (Chairman)

Number of Meetings: Three

Functions: The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board regarding candidates for directorships and the size and composition of the Board and for overseeing the Company’s corporate governance guidelines and reporting and making recommendations to the Board concerning corporate governance matters.

Director Nominations

The Board nominates directors for election at each annual meeting of stockholders and elects new directors to fill vacancies when they arise. The Nominating Committee has the responsibility to identify, evaluate, recruit and recommend qualified candidates to the Board for nomination or election.

The Board has as an objective that its membership be composed of experienced and dedicated individuals with diversity of backgrounds, perspectives and skills. The Nominating Committee will select candidates for director based on their character, judgment, diversity of experience, business acumen and ability to act on behalf of all stockholders. The Nominating Committee believes that nominees for director should have experience, such as experience in management or accounting and finance, or industry and technology knowledge, that may be useful to the Company and the Board, high personal and professional ethics, and the willingness and ability to devote sufficient time to effectively carry out his or her duties as a director. The Nominating Committee believes it appropriate for at least one member of the Board to meet the criteria for an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by SEC rules, and for a majority of the members of the Board to meet the definition of “independent director” under the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market and the SEC. The Nominating Committee also believes it appropriate for certain key members of the Company’s management to participate as members of the Board.

Prior to each annual meeting of stockholders, the Nominating Committee identifies nominees first by evaluating the current directors whose term will expire at the annual meeting and who are willing to continue in service. These candidates are evaluated based on the criteria described above, including as demonstrated by the candidate’s prior service as a director, and the needs of the Board with respect to the particular talents and experience of its directors. In the event that a director does not wish to continue in service, the Nominating Committee determines not to re-nominate a director, or a vacancy is created on the Board as a result of a resignation, an increase in the size of the Board or other event, the Nominating Committee will consider various candidates for Board membership, including those suggested by the Nominating Committee members, by other Board members, by any executive search firm engaged by the Nominating Committee and by stockholders. A stockholder who wishes to suggest a prospective nominee for the Board should notify the Secretary of the Company or any member of the Nominating Committee in writing with any supporting material the stockholder considers appropriate. Once a slate of candidates is chosen by the Nominating Committee, the Nominating Committee recommends the candidates to the entire Board, and the Board then determines whether to recommend the slate to the stockholders.

In addition, the Company’s Bylaws contain provisions that address the process by which a stockholder may nominate an individual to stand for election to the Board at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders. In

6

order to nominate a candidate for director, a stockholder must give timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the Company and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Company’s Bylaws. To be timely, the Company’s Bylaws provide that a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered by a nationally recognized courier service or mailed by first class United States mail, postage or delivery charges prepaid, and received at the Company’s principal executive offices, addressed to the attention of the Company’s Secretary, not earlier than 90 days nor more than 120 days in advance of the date the Company’s proxy statement was released to the stockholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting. However, in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the annual meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the date contemplated at the time of the previous year’s proxy statement, notice by the stockholder must be received by the Company’s Secretary not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the 90^th day prior to such annual meeting and (ii) the seventh day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Information required by the Bylaws to be in the notice include the name, contact information and share ownership information for the candidate and the person making the nomination and other information about the nominee that must be disclosed in proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the related rules and regulations under that Section. The Nominating Committee may also require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Nominating Committee to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as director of the Company.

Stockholder nominations must be made in accordance with the procedures outlined in, and include the information required by, the Company’s Bylaws and must be addressed to: Secretary, Multi-Fineline Electronix, Inc., 3140 East Coronado Street, Anaheim, California 92806. You can obtain a copy of the Company’s Bylaws by writing to the Secretary at this address.

Stockholder Communications with the Board

If you wish to communicate with the Board, you may send your communication in writing to: General Counsel, Multi-Fineline Electronix, Inc., 3140 East Coronado Street, Anaheim, California 92806. You must include your name and address in the written communication and indicate whether you are a stockholder of the Company. The General Counsel will review any communication received from a stockholder, and all material communications from stockholders will be forwarded to the appropriate director or directors or committee of the Board based on the subject matter.

Compensation of Directors

Although employees of WBL Corporation and its subsidiaries who serve on the Board are entitled to receive the same compensation as other non-employee members of the Board, they have informed the Company that they are not authorized by WBL Corporation or its subsidiaries to accept monetary payments or equity awards, and thus, the Company has not made any payments or granted any stock options in fiscal 2005 to directors who are employees of WBL Corporation or its subsidiaries.

The Company pays its other non-employee Board members the following fees related to their service on the Board:

• annual retainer of $15,000, payable in equal quarterly installments;

• per Board meeting fee of $2,500 for meetings attended;

• per committee meeting fee of $1,500 for meetings attended; and

• annual retainer for serving as Board or committee chairman of $4,000, payable in equal quarterly installments.

If a Board member attends less than 75% of the Board meetings held in any given year, the Board member would receive (i) the per meeting fee for the meetings he/she actually attended during such year and (ii) a percentage of

7

the annual Board retainer equal to the proportion of total Board meetings attended to the total Board meetings scheduled. Additionally, the Company reimburses the directors for reasonable expenses in connection with attendance at Board and committee meetings.

During the 2005 fiscal year, the Company’s non-employee directors, except directors who are employees of WBL Corporation or its subsidiaries, received a non-discretionary, automatic grant of a nonstatutory stock option under the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. A non-employee director was automatically granted an initial nonstatutory option to purchase 30,000 shares of Common Stock upon first becoming a member of the Board. The initial option vested and became exercisable over four years, with the first 25% of the shares subject to the initial option vesting on the first anniversary of the date of grant date and the remainder vesting monthly thereafter. The day following the Company’s regularly scheduled annual meeting of stockholders, each non-employee director was automatically granted a nonstatutory option to purchase 15,000 shares of Common Stock, provided the director had served on the Board for at least six months. Each of these options will be fully vested and exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant. All of the options granted to non-employee directors had a per share exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant and are subject to accelerated vesting if the Company is subject to a change of control.

Effective in January 2006, the Board amended the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, subject to stockholder approval and as further outlined in “Proposal 3—Approval of Amendment and Restatement of 2004 Stock Incentive Plan,” to provide that in lieu of nonstatutory stock options, non-employee directors will be eligible to receive non-discretionary, automatic grants of a restricted stock unit (“RSU”). As amended, the plan provides that a non-employee director will automatically be granted an initial RSU for 4,000 shares upon first becoming a member of the Board. The initial RSU grant will vest equally over three years. Immediately after the Company’s regularly scheduled annual meeting of stockholders, each non-employee director will be automatically granted a RSU for 2,000 shares, provided the director has served on the Board for at least six months, was not elected to the Board for the first time at such meeting and will continue to serve as a member of the Board. Each annual RSU grant will be fully vested on the earlier to occur of (i) the anniversary of the date of grant and (ii) the next annual meeting of stockholders. Both the initial RSU grants and the annual RSU grants are subject to accelerated vesting if the Company is subject to a change of control. RSUs are typically settled on the vesting date in shares of Common Stock or cash based on the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of settlement.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During various times within the 2005 fiscal year, Messrs. Blackmore, Dadamo and Yau and Dr. Lim and former director Ronald E. Ragland each served as members of the Compensation Committee. None of the members of the Compensation Committee at any time has been one of the Company’s officers or employees. No interlocking relationship exists, or has existed in the past, between the Board or Compensation Committee and the board of directors or compensation committee of any other entity.

Dr. Lim, a member of the Company’s Compensation Committee, currently serves as Group General Manager (WearnesTech Solutions & Special Projects) for WBL Corporation, whose subsidiaries own a majority of the outstanding Common Stock. As discussed below under “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,” the Company has several agreements and relationships with WBL Corporation and its affiliated entities.

Required Vote

The two Class II nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes of the shares present and voting at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy will be elected as directors. Each proxy cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than two.

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” election as director of the Class II nominees.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

It is the Company’s policy that all audit and non-audit services to be performed by the Company’s principal auditors be approved in advance by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will not approve the engagement of the Company’s independent accountants to perform any service that the independent accountants would be prohibited from providing under applicable securities laws or Nasdaq requirements. In assessing whether to approve use of the Company’s independent accountants for permitted non-audit services, the Audit Committee tries to minimize relationships that could appear to impair the objectivity of the independent accountants. The Audit Committee will approve permitted non-audit services by the Company’s independent accountants only when it will be more effective or economical to have such services provided by the independent accountants’ firm. The Audit Committee has granted Mr. Kane, Chairman of the Audit Committee, the discretion to determine

9

whether non-audit services proposed to be performed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP require the review of the entire Audit Committee, and in any situation where he deems it appropriate, Mr. Kane, acting alone, has been granted authority by the Audit Committee to negotiate and approve the engagement and/or terms of any non-audit service for the Company by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP within the guidelines mentioned above. Mr. Kane reports regularly to the Audit Committee on any non-audit services he approves pursuant to such authority. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, all audit and non-audit services performed by the Company’s principal independent registered public accounting firm were approved in advance by the Audit Committee, or by Mr. Kane on behalf of the Audit Committee.

Required Vote

Ratification will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present and voting at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy. If ratification is not obtained, the Audit Committee will review its future selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm but will not be required to select different independent auditors for the Company.

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” ratification of appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

PROPOSAL 3

APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

General

The stockholders are being asked to approve an amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”), which was approved by the Board of Directors on January 11, 2006, subject to stockholder approval. The Board of Directors amended the 2004 Plan to substitute restricted stock units for nonqualified stock options which are automatically granted to non-employee directors under the 2004 Plan. The Company believes that the automatic grant of restricted stock units will provide more effective incentives to its directors to continue to focus on critical long-range objectives of the Company and encourage the attraction and retention of such individuals.

Set forth below is a summary of the 2004 Plan, which is qualified in its entirety by the specific language of the 2004 Plan. A copy of the 2004 Plan presented for stockholder approval is included at the end of this Proxy Statement as Appendix A. Stockholders are urged to read the complete text of the 2004 Plan.

Background of the 2004 Plan

The 2004 Plan was originally adopted by the Board and approved by the Company’s stockholders in June 2004. The 2004 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. The 2004 Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase shares of Common Stock, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and stock units. Incentive stock options may be granted to employees (as defined in the 2004 Plan). Nonstatutory stock options and other stock-based awards may be granted to employees, non-employee directors, advisors and consultants. As of December 31, 2005, approximately 8,698 employees and six non-employee directors were eligible to be considered for the grant of awards under the 2004 Plan. The number of advisors and consultants who are eligible to be considered for the grant of awards under the 2004 Plan cannot be determined because the Compensation Committee has discretion to select these participants. The Board can amend or modify the 2004 Plan at any time, with stockholder approval, if required. The 2004 Plan terminates 10 years after its adoption, unless earlier terminated by the Board.

10

Shares Subject to the 2004 Plan

Under the 2004 Plan, 2,876,400 shares of Common Stock have been authorized for issuance. No participant in the 2004 Plan can receive option grants or stock appreciation rights for more than 1,000,000 shares total in any calendar year. The closing price for the Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market as of January 18, 2006, was $49.33 per share.

Plan Features

The 2004 Plan provides for various awards, which are described below:

• Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights

A stock option is the right to purchase a certain number of shares of stock, at a certain exercise price, in the future. A stock appreciation right is the right to receive the net of the market price of a share of stock and the exercise price of the right, either in cash or in stock, in the future.

The exercise price of incentive stock options is set by the Compensation Committee but may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock as of the date of grant (110% of the fair market value if the grant is to an employee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of the Company’s capital stock). The Internal Revenue Code currently limits to $100,000 the aggregate value of Common Stock for which incentive stock options may first become exercisable in any calendar year under the 2004 Plan or any other option plan adopted by the Company. The exercise price of a nonstatutory stock option is set by the Compensation Committee but may not be less than 85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of a stock appreciation right is set by the Compensation Committee.

Subject to the terms of the 2004 Plan, the Compensation Committee has the discretion to establish the terms of any specific award granted under the 2004 Plan, including any vesting arrangement and exercise period. In general, options granted to optionees other than non-employee directors will generally vest as to 1/4 of the shares one year after the date of grant and as to 1/48 of the total number of shares each month thereafter. In no event may options granted under the 2004 Plan be exercised more than 10 years after the date of grant (five years after the date of grant if the grant is an incentive stock option to an employee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of the Company’s capital stock).

• Restricted Share Awards and Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock is a share award that may be conditioned upon continued employment, the achievement of performance objectives or the satisfaction of any other condition as specified in a restricted stock agreement. Subject to the terms of the 2004 Plan, the Compensation Committee will determine the terms and conditions of any restricted stock award, which will be set forth in a restricted stock agreement to be entered into between the Company and each grantee. Shares may be awarded under the 2004 Plan for such consideration as the Compensation Committee may determine, including without limitation cash, cash equivalents, full-recourse promissory notes, future services, or services rendered prior to the award, without a cash payment by the grantee.

Under the 2004 Plan, the Compensation Committee may also grant restricted stock units that give recipients the right to acquire a specified number of shares of stock, or the equivalent value in cash, at a future date upon the satisfaction of certain conditions established by the Compensation Committee and as set forth in a stock unit agreement. Subject to the terms of the 2004 Plan, the Compensation Committee will determine the terms and conditions of any stock unit award, which will be set forth in a stock unit agreement to be entered into between the Company and each grantee. Restricted stock units may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the recipient’s other compensation, but no cash consideration is required of the recipient. Recipients of restricted stock units do not have voting or dividend rights, but may be credited with dividend equivalent compensation.

11

• Nondiscretionary, automatic grants of awards of restricted stock units will be made to non-employee directors. A non-employee director who first joins the Board on or after March 21, 2006 will be granted automatically an initial award of restricted stock units equal to 4,000 shares on the date of his or her election to the Board. The initial award vests in equal annual installments over three years, with the first 1/3 of the restricted stock units subject to the initial award vesting on the first anniversary of the date of grant date. Immediately after each of the Company’s regularly scheduled annual meetings of stockholders, beginning with the annual meeting occurring on March 21, 2006, each non-employee director will be automatically granted an award of restricted stock units equal to 2,000 shares of the Common Stock, provided the director has served on the Board for at least six months. These restricted stock units will vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant or, if earlier, immediately prior to the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders following the date of grant. Both the initial and annual award of restricted stock units become vested in full if a change of control occurs with respect to the Company during the director’s service. Restricted stock units are settled as they vest in shares of the Common Stock or, in the Company’s sole discretion, in cash. However, the stock unit award agreement evidencing the award of restricted stock units may provide for settlement of any or all of the vested restricted stock units upon a non-employee director’s termination of service as a member of the Board, or may provide that a non-employee director may elect to defer settlement of any or all vested restricted stock units, in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable stock unit agreement.

• In the event of a recapitalization, stock split or similar capital transaction, appropriate adjustment will be made to the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2004 Plan, including the limitation regarding the total number of shares underlying awards given to an individual participant in any calendar year and the number of restricted stock units automatically granted to outside directors, and other adjustments in order to preserve the benefits of outstanding awards under the 2004 Plan.

• Generally, if the Company merges or engages in a similar type of transaction with or into another corporation, unless outstanding awards are assumed or substituted for by any surviving entity or a parent or subsidiary of the surviving entity, the vesting or exercisability of outstanding awards may be accelerated by the Compensation Committee.

Options and Restricted Stock Units Granted

Because grants under the 2004 Plan are subject to the discretion of the plan administrator, awards under the 2004 Plan that will be made for the upcoming year are undeterminable, except with respect to the automatic grant of restricted stock units to non-employee directors which are described above. Future exercise prices for options granted under the 2004 Plan are also indeterminable because they will be based upon the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Restricted stock units are settled on or after the vesting date in shares of Common Stock or, in the Company’s sole discretion, in cash.

12

As of January 23, 2006, the following persons or groups had in total, received options or restricted stock units under the 2004 Plan as shown in the table. Each option had an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value on the date of grant.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences

Optionees receiving incentive stock options granted under the 2004 Plan will not recognize income upon grant or exercise of the option under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) unless the alternative minimum tax rules apply. Upon an optionee’s sale of the shares (assuming that the sale occurs more than two years after grant of the option and more than one year after exercise of the option), any gain will be taxed to the optionee as long-term capital gain. If the optionee disposes of the shares prior to the expiration of either of the above holding periods, then the optionee will recognize ordinary income in an amount generally measured as the difference between the exercise price and the lower of the fair market value of the shares at the exercise date or the sale price of the shares. Any gain recognized on such a premature sale of the shares in excess of the amount treated as ordinary income will be characterized as capital gain.

Optionees receiving nonstatutory stock options under the 2004 Plan will not recognize any taxable income at the time he or she is granted a nonstatutory stock option. However, upon exercise of the nonstatutory stock option, the optionee will recognize ordinary income for federal income tax purposes in an amount generally measured as the excess of the then fair market value of each share over its exercise price. Upon an optionee’s resale of such shares, any difference between the sale price and the fair market value of such shares on the date of exercise will be treated as capital gain or loss and will generally qualify for long-term capital gain or loss treatment if the shares have been held for more than one year. The Code provides for reduced tax rates for long-term capital gains based on the taxpayer’s income and the length of the taxpayer’s holding period.

The recipient of a restricted share award will generally recognize ordinary compensation income when such shares are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, based on the excess of the value of the shares at that time over the price, if any, paid for such shares. However, if the recipient makes a timely election under the Code to be subject to tax upon the receipt of the shares, the recipient will recognize ordinary compensation income at that time equal to the fair market value of the shares over the price paid, if any, and no further ordinary compensation income will be recognized when the shares vest.

In the case of an exercise of a stock appreciation right or an award of restricted stock units, the recipient will generally recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to any cash received and the fair market value of any shares received on the date of payment or delivery.

Subject to certain limitations, the Company is entitled to a deduction for Federal income tax purposes equal to the amount of ordinary compensation income recognized by the recipient of an award at the time such income is recognized. However, the deduction of compensation paid to certain executives may be subject to a $1,000,000 annual limit under Section 162(m) of the Code.

13

Any deferrals made under the 2004 Plan, including awards granted under the 2004 Plan that are considered to be deferred compensation, must satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code to avoid adverse tax consequences to participating employees. These requirements include limitations on election timing, acceleration of payments, and distributions. The Company intends to attempt to structure any deferrals and awards under the 2004 Plan to meet the applicable tax law requirements.

The foregoing does not purport to be a complete summary of the federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to holders of options, restricted shares, stock appreciation rights or restricted stock units, or to the Company. It also does not reflect provisions of the income tax laws of any municipality, state or foreign country in which a holder may reside, nor does it reflect the tax consequences of a holder’s death.

Required Vote

Approval will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present and voting at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy. In the event approval is not obtained, the amendment and restatement of the 2004 Plan will not become effective.

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” approval of the amendment and restatement of the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan.

OTHER MATTERS

The Company knows of no other business that will be presented at the Annual Meeting. If any other business is properly brought before the Annual Meeting, it is intended that proxies in the enclosed form will be voted in accordance with the judgment of the persons voting the proxies.

Except as indicated in the footnotes to this table, the persons or entities named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to community property laws, where applicable. The percentage of Common Stock beneficially owned is based on 24,285,287 shares outstanding as of January 23, 2006.

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its executive officers and directors. In addition, the Company’s executive officers and directors are indemnified under Delaware General Corporation Law and the Company’s Bylaws to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law.

As discussed above under “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management,” WBL Corporation and its affiliated entities beneficially own 61% of the outstanding Common Stock. Choon Seng Tan, the Chief Executive Officer of WBL Corporation, and Huat Seng Lim, Ph.D., the Group General Manager (WearnesTech Solutions & Special Projects) for WBL Corporation, are members of the Board. Set forth below is a brief description of the existing relationships and agreements between the Company and WBL Corporation and its affiliated entities.

On October 25, 2005, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement with WBL Corporation, Wearnes Technology and United Wearnes. The amended agreement provides, among other things, that:

• The historical right of the WBL Corporation entities to recommend to the Nominating Committee for nomination as a director up to one-third of the Board was eliminated, as were certain previous restrictions on the ability of those entities to purchase additional shares of the Common Stock, to enter into financing arrangements that might indirectly affect the Company, and to vote their shares to remove the Bylaw provision requiring that a majority of the Board be independent;

• The WBL Corporation entities will have the right to approve the appointment of any new chief executive officer or the issuance of securities that would reduce the WBL Corporation entities’ effective stock ownership below a majority of the shares outstanding; and

• WBL Corporation will, for a period of two years and thereafter subject to the parties’ mutual agreement, use reasonable efforts to provide the Company with access to additional manufacturing facilities and packaging services while the Company’s manufacturing facilities are being expanded.

The agreement will terminate when the WBL Corporation entities no longer own at least one-third of the outstanding Common Stock, measured on a fully diluted basis.

In November 2003, the Company executed a $25 million credit facility with Norddeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale which was guaranteed in full by WBL Corporation. In connection with the Company’s initial public offering, the credit facility was reduced to $15 million and WBL Corporation’s guarantee was reduced to an amount equal to the percentage of the outstanding stock owned by WBL Corporation, subject to a minimum guarantee of 40% of the outstanding balance of the credit facility. During fiscal year 2005, this credit facility was amended to, among other things, eliminate the WBL Corporation guarantee. As of September 30, 2005, the Company had no outstanding balance on this line of credit.

From time to time, the Company makes sales to, and purchases from, WBL Corporation and its affiliates. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, the Company purchased products and materials of $1.5 million from these entities and sold products and materials for $368,000 to these entities. As of September 30, 2005, the Company owed a total of $334,000 to WBL Corporation and its affiliates, and WBL Corporation and its affiliates owed the Company a total of $421,000. The Company believes that the commercial transactions described above were made or entered into on terms that are no less favorable to the Company than those the Company could obtain from unaffiliated third parties.

The Company files a combined California income tax return with Wearnes Hollingsworth Corporation, an affiliate of WBL Corporation, pursuant to a tax sharing agreement. The tax sharing agreement provides that the Company will pay Wearnes Hollingsworth Corporation for the California state income tax benefit realized by filing the combined California tax return. During the year ended September 30, 2005, the Company made no payment to Wearnes Hollingsworth Corporation pursuant to the tax sharing agreement.

Management fees may be charged to the Company by an affiliate of WBL Corporation, pursuant to a Corporate Services Agreement between the Company and such entity. Under this agreement, the Company may be billed for services on a time and materials basis. For the year ended September 30, 2005, no services were provided under this agreement.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

OF THE BOARD ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) on April 12, 2004, as amended from time to time and amended on December 5, 2005. A copy of the Compensation Committee Charter is available on the Company’s website atwww.mflex.com. The members of the Compensation Committee are Peter Blackmore, Richard J. Dadamo (Chairman), Huat Seng Lim, Ph.D., and Sam Yau, each of whom is a non-employee director under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, and each of whom, except for Dr. Lim, meets the independence standards established by The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Compensation Committee is responsible for developing and monitoring compensation arrangements for the executive officers of the Company, administering the Company’s stock incentive plans and other compensation plans and performing other activities and functions related to executive compensation as may be assigned from time to time by the Board.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives for Executive Officer Compensation

The Compensation Committee believes that compensation of the Company’s executive officers should encourage creation of stockholder value and achievement of strategic corporate objectives. It is the Compensation Committee’s philosophy to align the interests of the Company’s stockholders and management by integrating compensation with the Company’s annual and long-term corporate strategic and financial objectives. In order to attract and retain the most qualified personnel, the Company intends to offer a total compensation package competitive with companies in the flexible printed circuit, electronic products packaging and electronic manufacturing services industries, taking into account relative company size, performance and geographic location as well as individual responsibilities and performance. The components of executive officer compensation consist of base salary, performance-based bonuses and periodic stock grants, which are discussed separately below.

The Company generally intends to qualify executive compensation for deductibility without limitation under section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 162(m) provides that, for purposes of regular income tax and the alternative minimum tax, the otherwise allowable deduction for compensation paid or accrued with respect to a covered employee of a publicly-held corporation (other than certain exempt performance-based compensation) is limited to no more than $1 million per year. The Company does not expect that the non-exempt compensation to be paid to any of its executive officers for fiscal 2005 as calculated for purposes of section 162(m) will exceed the $1 million limit.

Executive Officer Base Salary

The Compensation Committee reviews salaries recommended by (i) the CEO for the President/COO and (ii) the President/COO for the Company’s other executive officers (other than the CEO), and based upon such review approves salaries and raises for such executive officers and makes a recommendation to the entire Board for approval of these salaries. The Compensation Committee sets the salary level of each executive officer on a case by case basis, taking into account the individual’s level of responsibilities and performance. The Compensation Committee also considers market information and the base salaries and other incentives paid to executive officers of other similarly sized companies within the Company’s industry.

Executive Officer Bonuses

The Compensation Committee believes that a portion of executive officer compensation should be contingent upon the Company’s performance and an individual’s contribution to the Company’s success in

19

meeting corporate and financial objectives. Bonuses paid for fiscal 2005 were determined on a case by case basis, with fifty percent of such bonuses being based on Company financial metrics, namely revenue and profit after tax, and fifty percent of such bonuses being based on individual goals. For officers other than the CEO, the Compensation Committee evaluated each executive officer with the CEO and/or the President/COO as described above to determine the bonus for the fiscal year. The Compensation Committee approved the executive officer bonuses and then recommended them to the Board, where they were approved by the entire Board.

Stock Grants

The Compensation Committee administers the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”) for executive officers, employees, consultants and outside directors, under which, prior to December 2005, it granted options to purchase the Company’s Common Stock with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Beginning in December 2005, the Compensation Committee began granting restricted stock units under the 2004 Plan in lieu of stock options. Prior to 2004, the Company made stock option grants under its 1994 Stock Plan. The Compensation Committee believes that providing executive officers who have responsibility for the management and growth of the Company with an opportunity to increase their ownership of Company stock aligns the interests of the Company’s executive officers with those of its stockholders and promotes retention of key personnel, which is also in the best interest of the stockholders. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee, when reviewing executive officer compensation, also considers stock grants as appropriate. At its discretion, from time to time the Compensation Committee may also make stock grants based on individual and corporate achievements.

Grants made to the CEO and other executive officers of the Company are approved by the Compensation Committee, and then recommended for approval by the Compensation Committee to the entire Board. The Compensation Committee determines the number of shares underlying each grant of stock options or restricted stock units based upon the executive officer’s and the Company’s performance, the executive officer’s role and responsibilities within the Company, the executive officer’s base salary and comparison with comparable awards to individuals in similar positions in the industry. During fiscal 2005, the Compensation Committee did not make any grant of stock options or restricted stock units to any executive officer, as the Company was in the process of evaluating the change from stock options to restricted stock units. Grants of restricted stock units were made to executive officers in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, at the same time as the Compensation Committee made grants to other employees of the Company.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation

The Compensation Committee determines the compensation (including bonus and stock grants) of the CEO using generally the same criteria as for the other executive officers. For fiscal 2005, the Compensation Committee reviewed Mr. Harding performance as CEO based on factors which included the Company’s financial results, Mr. Harding’s execution of planning initiatives and growth strategies and the Company’s industry concentration. Fifty percent of such review was based upon financial metrics, with the other half being split among the qualitative factors. In November 2005, the Compensation Committee approved, and recommended to the Board for approval (which approval was granted by the Board), a bonus of $186,400 for Mr. Harding’s service in fiscal 2005. As noted above, the Company did not make any stock grant to executive officers in fiscal 2005. However, in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, Mr. Harding was awarded a restricted stock unit grant equal to 12,000 shares of Common Stock. The grant vests over a four-year period in equal annual installments, with the first 1/4 vesting on December 5, 2006. In determining the size of Mr. Harding’s grant, the Compensation Committee considered the growth of the business, the financial performance of the Company and the posturing of the Company for continued success.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD

The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) on April 12, 2004, as amended from time to time and amended on November 30, 2004. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is available on the Company’s website atwww.mflex.com. The members of the Audit Committee are Richard J. Dadamo, Sanford L. Kane (Chairman) and Sam Yau, each of whom meets the independence standards established by The Nasdaq Stock Market and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Audit Committee oversees the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board and is responsible for providing independent, objective oversight of the Company’s accounting, auditing, financial reporting, internal control and legal compliance functions. It is not the duty of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company’s financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management is responsible for the Company’s financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal controls. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible in its report for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the Company’s audited financial statements contained in the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Company’s management and its independent auditors. The Audit

21

Committee met privately with the independent auditors and discussed issues deemed significant by the independent auditors, including those matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards). In addition, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with the Audit Committees) and discussed with the independent auditors their independence from the Company.

Based upon the reviews and discussions outlined above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2005 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Under the securities laws of the United States, the Company’s directors, executive officers and any person holding more than 10% of the Common Stock are required to report their initial ownership of the Common Stock and any subsequent change in that ownership to the SEC. Specific due dates for these reports have been established and the Company is required to identify in this Proxy Statement those persons who failed to timely file these reports. To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on a review of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other reports were required during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders were complied with, except that Mr. Kane, a director, filed his report with respect to his purchase of 2,100 shares of Common Stock after the filing deadline imposed by SEC rules.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR THE 2007 ANNUAL MEETING

Proposals of stockholders of the Company that are intended to be presented by such stockholders at the Company’s 2007 annual meeting of stockholders must be received by the Secretary of the Company no later than September 30, 2006 in order that they may be included in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy relating to that meeting.

A stockholder proposal not included in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2007 annual meeting of stockholders will be ineligible for presentation at the meeting unless the stockholder gives timely notice of the proposal in writing to the Secretary of the Company at the principal executive offices of the Company and otherwise complies with the provisions of the Company’s Bylaws. To be timely, the Bylaws provide that the Company must have received the stockholder’s notice not earlier than 90 days nor more than 120 days in advance of the date this Proxy Statement was released to stockholders in connection with the Annual Meeting. However, if the date of the 2007 annual meeting of stockholders is changed by more than 30 days from the date contemplated at the time of this Proxy Statement, the Company must receive the stockholder’s notice not later than the close of business on (i) the 90^th day prior to such annual meeting and (ii) the seventh day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.

22

PAYMENT OF COSTS

The expense of printing and mailing proxy materials and the solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, solicitation may be made by proxy solicitors, directors, officers and other employees of the Company by personal interview, telephone or facsimile. No additional compensation will be paid to directors, officers or employees of the Company for such solicitation. The Company has hired The Altman Group, Inc. to act as its proxy solicitor for the Annual Meeting at a cost of approximately $4,500. The Company will reimburse brokerage firms and others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to beneficial owners of the Common Stock.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

A number of brokers with account holders who are stockholders of the Company will be “householding” the Company’s proxy materials. A single Proxy Statement will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate Proxy Statement and annual report, please notify your broker, and direct a written request to the Company, Attn: Investor Relations Department, 3140 East Coronado Street, Anaheim, California 92806, or contact Investor Relations at 714-573-1121. The Company will provide a separate copy of this Proxy Statement and the annual report to any stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy was delivered. Any such request should be addressed to the Company, Attn: Investor Relations Department, at the address listed above. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the Proxy Statement and/or annual report at their address and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their broker.

Whether or not you intend to be present at the Annual Meeting, the Company urges you to return your signed proxy promptly.

	By Order of the Board
	Christine Besnard
January 25, 2006	General Counsel and Secretary

The Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K has been mailed with this Proxy Statement. The Company will provide copies of exhibits to the Annual Report on Form 10-K, but will charge a reasonable fee per page to any requesting stockholder. Any such request should be addressed to the Company at 3140 East Coronado Street, Anaheim, California 92806, Attention: Investor Relations Department. The request must include a representation by the stockholder that as of January 23, 2006, the stockholder was entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

SECTION 1. ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE

The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on June 15, 2004, effective as of the date of the initial offering of Stock to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Effective Date”), and amended and restated by the Board of Directors on January 11, 2006. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term success of the Company and the creation of stockholder value by (a) encouraging Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants to focus on critical long-range objectives, (b) encouraging the attraction and retention of Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants with exceptional qualifications and (c) linking Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants directly to stockholder interests through increased stock ownership. The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for Awards in the form of restricted shares, stock units, options (which may constitute incentive stock options or nonstatutory stock options) or stock appreciation rights.

SECTION 2. DEFINITIONS

(a) “Affiliate” shall mean any entity other than a Subsidiary, if the Company and/or one or more Subsidiaries own not less than 50% of such entity.

(b) “Award” shall mean any award of an Option, a SAR, a Restricted Share or a Stock Unit under the Plan.

(c) “Board of Directors” shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company, as constituted from time to time.

(B) Were elected, or nominated for election, to the Board of Directors with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the aggregate of the original directors who were still in office at the time of the election or nomination and the directors whose election or nomination was previously so approved (the “continuing directors”); or

(ii) Any “person” (as defined below) who by the acquisition or aggregation of securities, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities ordinarily (and apart from rights accruing under special circumstances) having the right to vote at elections of directors (the “Base Capital Stock”); except that any change in the relative beneficial ownership of the Company’s securities by any person resulting solely from a reduction in the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Base Capital Stock, and any decrease thereafter in such person’s ownership of securities, shall be disregarded until such person increases in any manner, directly or indirectly, such person’s beneficial ownership of any securities of the Company; or

(iii) The consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or any other corporate reorganization, if persons who were not stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or other reorganization own immediately after such merger, consolidation or

Any other provision of this Section 2(d) notwithstanding, a transaction shall not constitute a Change in Control if its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction, and a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur if the Company files a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the initial offering of Stock to the public.

(e) “Code” shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

(f) “Committee” shall mean the Compensation Committee as designated by the Board of Directors, which is authorized to administer the Plan, as described in Section 3 hereof.

SECTION 5. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN.

(a) Basic Limitation. Shares offered under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued Shares or treasury Shares.

(c) Additional Shares. If Restricted Shares or Shares issued upon the exercise of Options are forfeited, then such Shares shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. If Stock Units, Options or SARs are forfeited or terminate for any other reason before being exercised, then the corresponding Shares shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. If Stock Units are settled, then only the number of Shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of such Stock Units shall reduce the number available under Section 5(a) and the balance shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. If SARs are exercised, then only the number of Shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of such SARs shall reduce the number available in Section 5(a) and the balance shall again become available for Awards under the Plan.

SECTION 6. RESTRICTED SHARES.

(a) Restricted Stock Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Shares under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Agreement between the recipient and the Company.

(b) Payment for Awards. Subject to the following sentence, Restricted Shares may be sold or awarded under the Plan for such consideration as the Committee may determine, including (without limitation) cash, cash equivalents, full-recourse promissory notes, past services and future services. To the extent that an Award consists of newly issued Restricted Shares, the Award recipient shall furnish consideration with a value not less than the par value of such Restricted Shares in the form of cash, cash equivalents, or past services rendered to the Company (or a Parent or Subsidiary), as the Committee may determine.

(c) Vesting. Each Award of Restricted Shares may or may not be subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Restricted Stock Agreement. A

2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

A-7

Restricted Stock Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement or other events. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting Restricted Shares of thereafter, that all or part of such Restricted Shares shall become vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.

(d) Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as the Company’s other stockholders. A Restricted Stock Agreement, however, may require that the holders of Restricted Shares invest any cash dividends received in additional Restricted Shares. Such additional Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Award with respect to which the dividends were paid.

(e) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Restricted Shares shall be subject to such rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal or other restrictions as the Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement and shall apply in addition to any general restrictions that may apply to all holders of Shares.

SECTION 7. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.

(a) Stock Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which the Committee deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Option Agreement. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an ISO or an NSO. The provisions of the various Stock Option Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. Options may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the Optionee’s other compensation.

(b) Number of Shares. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the number of Shares that are subject to the Option and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 11.

(c) Exercise Price. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of an ISO shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, except as otherwise provided in Section 4(c), and the Exercise Price of an NSO shall not be less 85% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Stock Option Agreement may specify that the exercise price of an NSO may vary in accordance with a predetermined formula. Subject to the foregoing in this Section 7(c), the Exercise Price under any Option shall be determined by the Committee at its sole discretion. The Exercise Price shall be payable in one of the forms described in Section 8.

(d) Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Optionee shall make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such exercise. The Optionee shall also make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the disposition of Shares acquired by exercising an Option.

(e) Exercisability and Term. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the Option is to become exercisable. The Stock Option Agreement shall also specify the term of the Option; provided that the term of an ISO shall in no event exceed 10 years from the date of grant (five years for Employees described in Section 4(c)). A Stock Option Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Optionee’s death, disability, or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration prior

MULTI-FINELINE ELECTRONIX, INC.

2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

A-8

to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee’s Service. Options may be awarded in combination with SARs, and such an Award may provide that the Options will not be exercisable unless the related SARs are forfeited. Subject to the foregoing in this Section 7(e), the Committee at its sole discretion shall determine when all or any installment of an Option is to become exercisable and when an Option is to expire.

(f) Exercise of Options Upon Termination of Service. Each Stock Option Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Option following termination of the Optionee’s Service with the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the right to exercise the Option of any executors or administrators of the Optionee’s estate or any person who has acquired such Option(s) directly from the Optionee by bequest or inheritance. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all Options issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of Service.

(g) Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting an Option or thereafter, that such Option shall become exercisable as to all or part of the Shares subject to such Option in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.

(h) Leaves of Absence. An Employee’s Service shall cease when such Employee ceases to be actively employed by, or a Consultant to, the Company (or any subsidiary) as determined in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. For purposes of Options, Service does not terminate when an Employee goes on a bona fide leave of absence, that was approved by the Company in writing, if the terms of the leave provide for continued service crediting, or when continued service crediting is required by applicable law. However, for purposes of determining whether an Option is entitled to ISO status, an Employee’s Service will be treated as terminating 90 days after such Employee went on leave, unless such Employee’s right to return to active work is guaranteed by law or by a contract. Service terminates in any event when the approved leave ends, unless such Employee immediately returns to active work. The Company determines which leaves count toward Service, and when Service terminates for all purposes under the Plan.

(i) No Rights as a Stockholder. An Optionee, or a transferee of an Optionee, shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by his Option until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate for such Shares. No adjustments shall be made, except as provided in Section 11.

(j) Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding options (to the extent not previously exercised), whether or not granted hereunder, in return for the grant of new Options for the same or a different number of Shares and at the same or a different exercise price, or in return for the grant of the same or a different number of Shares. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, adversely affect his or her rights or obligations under such Option.

(k) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Any Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Stock Option Agreement and shall apply in addition to any general restrictions that may apply to all holders of Shares.

(l) Buyout Provisions. The Committee may at any time (a) offer to buy out for a payment in cash or cash equivalents an Option previously granted or (b) authorize an Optionee to elect to cash out an Option previously granted, in either case at such time and based upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish.

SECTION 8. PAYMENT FOR SHARES.

(a) General Rule. The entire Exercise Price or Purchase Price of Shares issued under the Plan shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America at the time when such Shares are purchased, except as provided in Section 8(b) through Section 8(g) below.

(b) Surrender of Stock. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by surrendering, or attesting to the ownership of, Shares which have already been owned by the Optionee or his representative. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when the new Shares are purchased under the Plan. The Optionee shall not surrender, or attest to the ownership of, Shares in payment of the Exercise Price if such action would cause the Company to recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect to the Option for financial reporting purposes.

(c) Services Rendered. At the discretion of the Committee, Shares may be awarded under the Plan in consideration of services rendered to the Company or a Subsidiary prior to the award. If Shares are awarded without the payment of a Purchase Price in cash, the Committee shall make a determination (at the time of the award) of the value of the services rendered by the Offeree and the sufficiency of the consideration to meet the requirements of Section 6(b).

(d) Cashless Exercise. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form prescribed by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price.

(e) Exercise/Pledge. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form prescribed by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker or lender to pledge Shares, as security for a loan, and to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price.

(f) Promissory Note. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivering (on a form prescribed by the Company) a full-recourse promissory note. However, the par value of the Common Shares being purchased under the Plan, if newly issued, shall be paid in cash or cash equivalents.

(g) Other Forms of Payment. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement so provides, payment may be made in any other form that is consistent with applicable laws, regulations and rules.

(h) Limitations under Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything herein or in a Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement to the contrary, payment may not be made in any form that is unlawful, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

SECTION 9. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

(a) SAR Agreement. Each grant of a SAR under the Plan shall be evidenced by a SAR Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such SAR shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various SAR Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. SARs may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the Optionee’s other compensation.

(b) Number of Shares. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the number of Shares to which the SAR pertains and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 11.

MULTI-FINELINE ELECTRONIX, INC.

2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

A-10

(c) Exercise Price. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price. A SAR Agreement may specify an Exercise Price that varies in accordance with a predetermined formula while the SAR is outstanding.

(d) Exercisability and Term. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the SAR is to become exercisable. The SAR Agreement shall also specify the term of the SAR. A SAR Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Optionee’s death, disability or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee’s service. SARs may be awarded in combination with Options, and such an Award may provide that the SARs will not be exercisable unless the related Options are forfeited. A SAR may be included in an ISO only at the time of grant but may be included in an NSO at the time of grant or thereafter. A SAR granted under the Plan may provide that it will be exercisable only in the event of a Change in Control.

(e) Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting a SAR or thereafter, that such SAR shall become fully exercisable as to all Common Shares subject to such SAR in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.

(f) Exercise of SARs. Upon exercise of a SAR, the Optionee (or any person having the right to exercise the SAR after his or her death) shall receive from the Company (a) Shares, (b) cash or (c) a combination of Shares and cash, as the Committee shall determine. The amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of Shares received upon exercise of SARs shall, in the aggregate, be equal to the amount by which the Fair Market Value (on the date of surrender) of the Shares subject to the SARs exceeds the Exercise Price.

(g) Modification or Assumption of SARs. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or assume outstanding SARs or may accept the cancellation of outstanding SARs (whether granted by the Company or by another issuer) in return for the grant of new SARs for the same or a different number of shares and at the same or a different exercise price. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of a SAR shall, without the consent of the holder, may alter or impair his or her rights or obligations under such SAR.

SECTION 10. STOCK UNITS.

(a) Stock Unit Agreement. Each grant of Stock Units under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Unit Agreement between the recipient and the Company. Such Stock Units shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Stock Unit Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. Stock Units may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the recipient’s other compensation.

(b) Payment for Awards. To the extent that an Award is granted in the form of Stock Units, no cash consideration shall be required of the Award recipients.

(c) Vesting Conditions. Each Award of Stock Units may or may not be subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Stock Unit Agreement. A Stock Unit Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement or other events. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting Stock Units or thereafter, that all or part of such Stock Units shall become vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.

(d) Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Stock Units shall have no voting rights. Prior to settlement or forfeiture, any Stock Unit awarded under the Plan may, at the Committee’s discretion, carry with it a right to dividend equivalents. Such right entitles the holder to be credited with an amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one Share while the Stock Unit is outstanding. Dividend equivalents may be converted into additional Stock

MULTI-FINELINE ELECTRONIX, INC.

2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

A-11

Units. Settlement of dividend equivalents may be made in the form of cash, in the form of Shares, or in a combination of both. Prior to distribution, any dividend equivalents which are not paid shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions (including without limitation, any forfeiture conditions) as the Stock Units to which they attach.

(e) Form and Time of Settlement of Stock Units. Settlement of vested Stock Units may be made in the form of (a) cash, (b) Shares or (c) any combination of both, as determined by the Committee. The actual number of Stock Units eligible for settlement may be larger or smaller than the number included in the original Award, based on predetermined performance factors. Methods of converting Stock Units into cash may include (without limitation) a method based on the average Fair Market Value of Shares over a series of trading days. Vested Stock Units may be settled in a lump sum or in installments. The distribution may occur or commence when all vesting conditions applicable to the Stock Units have been satisfied or have lapsed, or it may be deferred to any later date. The amount of a deferred distribution may be increased by an interest factor or by dividend equivalents. Until an Award of Stock Units is settled, the number of such Stock Units shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 11.

(f) Death of Recipient. Any Stock Units Award that becomes payable after the recipient’s death shall be distributed to the recipient’s beneficiary or beneficiaries. Each recipient of a Stock Units Award under the Plan shall designate one or more beneficiaries for this purpose by filing the prescribed form with the Company. A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing the prescribed form with the Company at any time before the Award recipient’s death. If no beneficiary was designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the Award recipient, then any Stock Units Award that becomes payable after the recipient’s death shall be distributed to the recipient’s estate.

(g) Creditors’ Rights. A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Stock Unit Agreement.

SECTION 11. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.

(a) Adjustments. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock, a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the price of Shares, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Shares, a recapitalization, a spin-off or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall make such adjustments as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate in one or more of:

(i) The number of Options, SARs, Restricted Shares and Stock Units available for future Awards under Section 5;

(ii) The limitations set forth in Section 5(a) and (b);

(iii) The number of Stock Units to be granted to Outside Directors under Section 4(b);

(iv) The number of Shares covered by each outstanding Option and SAR;

(v) The Exercise Price under each outstanding Option and SAR; or

(vi) The number of Stock Units included in any prior Award which has not yet been settled.

Except as provided in this Section 11, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of any issue by the Company of stock of any class or securities convertible into stock of any class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class.

(b) Dissolution or Liquidation. To the extent not previously exercised or settled, Options, SARs and Stock Units shall terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company.

(c) Reorganizations. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger or other reorganization, outstanding Awards shall be subject to the agreement of merger or reorganization. Such agreement shall provide for:

(i) The continuation of the outstanding Awards by the Company, if the Company is a surviving corporation;

(ii) The assumption of the outstanding Awards by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary;

(iii) The substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary of its own awards for the outstanding Awards;

(iv) Full exercisability or vesting and accelerated expiration of the outstanding Awards; or

(v) Settlement of the full value of the outstanding Awards in cash or cash equivalents followed by cancellation of such Awards.

(d) Reservation of Rights. Except as provided in this Section 11, an Optionee or Offeree shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class. Any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Option. The grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

SECTION 12. DEFERRAL OF AWARDS.

The Committee (in its sole discretion) may permit or require a Participant to:

(a) Have cash that otherwise would be paid to such Participant as a result of the exercise of a SAR or the settlement of Stock Units credited to a deferred compensation account established for such Participant by the Committee as an entry on the Company’s books;

(b) Have Shares that otherwise would be delivered to such Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or SAR converted into an equal number of Stock Units; or

(c) Have Shares that otherwise would be delivered to such Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or SAR or the settlement of Stock Units converted into amounts credited to a deferred compensation account established for such Participant by the Committee as an entry on the Company’s books. Such amounts shall be determined by reference to the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date when they otherwise would have been delivered to such Participant.

A deferred compensation account established under this Section 12 may be credited with interest or other forms of investment return, as determined by the Committee. A Participant for whom such an account is established shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Such an account shall represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement between such Participant and the Company. If the deferral or conversion of Awards is permitted or required, the Committee (in its sole discretion) may establish rules, procedures and forms pertaining to such Awards, including (without limitation) the settlement of deferred compensation accounts established under this Section 12.

SECTION 13. AWARDS UNDER OTHER PLANS.

The Company may grant awards under other plans or programs. Such awards may be settled in the form of Shares issued under this Plan.

Such NSOs, Restricted Shares and Stock Units shall be issued under the Plan. An election under this Section 14 shall be filed with the Company on the prescribed form.

(c) Number and Terms of NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units. The number of NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units to be granted to Outside Directors in lieu of annual retainers and meeting fees that would otherwise be paid in cash shall be calculated in a manner determined by the Board. The terms of such NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units shall also be determined by the Board.

SECTION 15. LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.

Shares shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares complies with (or is exempt from) all applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations and the regulations of any stock exchange on which the Company’s securities may then be listed, and the Company has obtained the approval or favorable ruling from any governmental agency which the Company determines is necessary or advisable.

SECTION 16. WITHHOLDING TAXES.

(a) General. To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, a Participant or his or her successor shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with the Plan. The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares or make any cash payment under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.

(b) Share Withholding. The Committee may permit a Participant to satisfy all or part of his or her withholding or income tax obligations by having the Company withhold all or a portion of any Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or her or by surrendering all or a portion of any Shares that he or she previously acquired. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when taxes otherwise would be withheld in cash. In no event may a Participant have Shares withheld that would otherwise be issued to him or her in excess of the number necessary to satisfy the legally required minimum tax withholding.

SECTION 17. TRANSFERABILITY.

Unless the agreement evidencing an Award (or an amendment thereto authorized by the Committee) expressly provides otherwise, no Award granted under this Plan, nor any interest in such Award, may be sold, assigned, conveyed, gifted, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred in any manner (prior to the vesting

and lapse of any and all restrictions applicable to Shares issued under such Award), other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that an ISO may be transferred or assigned only to the extent consistent with Section 422 of the Code. Any purported assignment, transfer or encumbrance in violation of this Section 17 shall be void and unenforceable against the Company.

SECTION 18. NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS.

No provision of the Plan, nor any right or Option granted under the Plan, shall be construed to give any person any right to become, to be treated as, or to remain an Employee.
