Shareholder approval of our audited accounts is not being sought by this proxy statement and will not be sought at the 2009 annual general meeting.

Eligibility to Vote at annual general meeting; Receipt of Notice. The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on August , 2009 as the record date for determining those shareholders of the company who will be entitled to receive copies of this notice and accompanying proxy statement. However, all shareholders of record on September , 2009, the date of the 2009 annual general meeting, will be entitled to vote at the 2009 annual general meeting.

Quorum. Representation of at least 331/3% of all outstanding ordinary shares of the company is required to constitute a quorum. Accordingly, it is important that your shares be represented at the 2009 annual general meeting.

Proxies. A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the 2009 annual general meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on his or her behalf. A proxy need not also be a shareholder.Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, please complete, date and sign the enclosed proxy card and return it in the enclosed envelope.A proxy card must be received by Flextronics International Ltd.,c/o Proxy Services,c/o Computershare Investor Services, PO Box 43101, Providence, RI02940-5067 not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the 2009 annual general meeting. You may revoke your proxy at any time prior to the time it is voted. Shareholders who are present at the meeting may revoke their proxies and vote in person or, if they prefer, may abstain from voting in person and allow their proxies to be voted.

Availability of Proxy Materials on the Internet. We are pleased to take advantage of Securities and Exchange Commission rules that allow issuers to furnish proxy materials to some or all of their shareholders on the Internet. In accordance with Singapore law, our registered shareholders (shareholders who own our ordinary shares in their own name through our transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services, LLP) will not be able to vote their shares over the Internet, but we will be providing this service to our beneficial holders (shareholders whose ordinary shares are held by a brokerage firm, a bank or a trustee). We believe these rules will allow us to provide our shareholders with the information they need, while lowering the costs of delivery and reducing the environmental impact of our annual general meeting of shareholders.

Disclosure Regarding Share Purchase Mandate Funds. Only funds legally available for purchasing or acquiring our issued ordinary shares in accordance with our Articles of Association and the applicable laws of Singapore will be used for the purchase or acquisition by us of our own issued ordinary shares pursuant to the proposed renewal of the Share Purchase Mandate referred to in Proposal No. 5. We intend to use our internal sources of fundsand/or borrowed funds to finance the purchase or acquisition of our issued ordinary shares. The amount of financing required for us to purchase or acquire our issued ordinary shares, and the impact on our financial position, cannot be ascertained as of the date of this notice, as these will depend on the number of ordinary shares purchased or acquired and the price at which such ordinary shares are purchased or acquired and whether the ordinary shares purchased or acquired are held in treasury or cancelled. Our net tangible assets and the consolidated net tangible assets of the company and its subsidiaries will be reduced by the purchase price of any ordinary shares purchased or acquired and cancelled. We do not anticipate that the purchase or acquisition of our ordinary shares in accordance with the Share Purchase Mandate would have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

By order of the Board of Directors,

INFORMATION ABOUT THE MEETING

We are furnishing this proxy statement in connection with the solicitation by our Board of Directors of proxies to be voted at the 2009 annual general meeting of our shareholders, or at any adjournments thereof, for the purposes set forth in the notice of annual general meeting that accompanies this proxy statement. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this proxy statement to “the company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms mean Flextronics International Ltd. and its subsidiaries.

Proxy Mailing. This proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card were first mailed on or about August , 2009 to shareholders of record as of August , 2009.

Costs of Solicitation. The entire cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by us. Following the original mailing of the proxies and other soliciting materials, our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies by mail, telephone,e-mail, fax or in person. These directors, officers and employees will not receive additional compensation for those activities, but they may be reimbursed for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Following the original mailing of the proxies and other soliciting materials, we will request that brokers, custodians, nominees and other record holders of our ordinary shares forward copies of the proxy and other soliciting materials to persons for whom they hold ordinary shares and request authority for the exercise of proxies. In these cases, we will reimburse such holders for their reasonable expenses if they ask that we do so. We have retained Georgeson Inc., an independent proxy solicitation firm, to assist in soliciting proxies at an estimated fee of $10,000, plus reimbursement of reasonable expenses.

Registered Office. The mailing address of our registered office is One Marina Boulevard, #28-00, Singapore 018989.

VOTING RIGHTS AND SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

The close of business on August , 2009 is the record date for shareholders entitled to notice of our 2009 annual general meeting. All of the ordinary shares issued and outstanding on September , 2009, the date of the annual general meeting, are entitled to be voted at the annual general meeting, and shareholders of record on September , 2009 and entitled to vote at the meeting will, on a poll, have one vote for each ordinary share so held on the matters to be voted upon. As of July 24, 2009, we had 810,719,538 ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

Proxies. Ordinary shares represented by proxies in the form accompanying this proxy statement that are properly executed and returned to us will be voted at the 2009 annual general meeting in accordance with our shareholders’ instructions.

Quorum and Required Vote. Representation at the annual general meeting of at least 331/3% of all of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares is required to constitute a quorum to transact business at the annual general meeting.

The affirmative vote by a show of hands of at least a majority of the shareholders present and voting at the 2009 annual general meeting, or, if a poll is demanded by the chair or by holders of at least 10% of the total number of ourpaid-up shares in accordance with our Articles of Association, a simple majority of the shares voting at the 2009 annual general meeting, is required to re-elect and re-appoint the directors nominated pursuant to Proposals Nos. 1 and 2, to re-appoint Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent auditors pursuant to Proposal No. 3 and to approve the ordinary resolutions contained in Proposals Nos. 4 through 6.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” are considered present and entitled to vote at the 2009 annual general meeting for purposes of determining a quorum. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker or other holder of record who holds shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the record holder does not have discretionary power to vote on that particular proposal and has not received directions from the beneficial owner. If a broker or nominee indicates on the proxy card that it does not have discretionary authority to vote as to a particular matter, those shares, along with any abstentions, will not be counted in the tabulation of the votes cast on the proposal being presented to shareholders.

If you are a beneficial owner, your broker has authority to vote your shares for or against certain “routine” matters, even if the broker does not receive voting instructions from you.

In the absence of contrary instructions, shares represented by proxies will be voted “FOR” the Board nominees in Proposals Nos. 1 and 2 and “FOR” Proposals Nos. 3 through 6. Our management does not know of any matters to be presented at the 2009 annual general meeting other than those set forth in this proxy statement and in the notice accompanying this proxy statement. If other matters should properly be put before the meeting, the proxy holders will vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

Any shareholder of record has the right to revoke his or her proxy at any time prior to voting at the 2009 annual general meeting by:


	•	submitting a subsequently dated proxy; or

	•	by attending the meeting and voting in person.

We have prepared, in accordance with Singapore law, Singapore statutory financial statements, which are included with the annual report which will be delivered to our shareholders prior to the date of the 2009 annual general meeting. Except as otherwise stated herein, all monetary amounts in this proxy statement have been presented in U.S. dollars.

PROPOSALS NOS. 1 AND 2:
RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Article 95 of our Articles of Association requires that at each annual general meeting one-third of the directors (or, if their number is not a multiple of three, then the number nearest to but not more than one-third of the directors), are required to retire from office. The directors required to retire in each year are those who have been in office the longest since their last re-election or appointment. As between persons who became or were last re-elected directors on the same day, those required to retire are (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) determined by lot. Under Article 91 of our Articles of Association, any director holding office as a Chief Executive Officer shall not be subject to retirement by rotation, unless the Board of Directors determines otherwise, or be taken into account in determining the number of directors required to retire by rotation. Retiring directors are eligible for re-election. James A. Davidson and Lip Bu Tan are the members of our Board of Directors who will retire by rotation at our 2009 annual general meeting. Messrs. Davidson and Tan are eligible for re-election and have been nominated to stand for re-election at the 2009 annual general meeting. Article 101 of our Articles of Association requires that any person appointed as a director of the company by the Board of Directors shall hold office only until our next annual general meeting, and shall then be eligible for re-election. Mr. Robert L. Edwards, who was appointed to the Board of Directors on October 13, 2008, is eligible for re-election and has been nominated to stand for re-election at the 2009 annual

general meeting. Mr. William D. Watkins, who was appointed to the Board of Directors on April 14, 2009, is eligible for re-election and has been nominated to stand for re-election at the 2009 annual general meeting. Mr. Daniel H. Schulman, who was appointed to the Board of Directors on June 18, 2009, is eligible for re-election and has been nominated to stand for re-election at the 2009 annual general meeting.

The Singapore Companies Act, Cap. 50, which we refer to as the Companies Act, requires that we must have at all times at least one director ordinarily resident in Singapore. In addition, the Companies Act provides that any purported vacation of office by such director shall be deemed to be invalid unless there is at least one director remaining on the board who is ordinarily resident in Singapore. Mr. Tan, the only member of our Board of Directors who is ordinarily resident in Singapore, was last re-elected to the Board at the 2007 annual general meeting and has been nominated to stand for re-election at the 2009 annual general meeting. As Mr. Tan is currently the only member of our Board of Directors who is ordinarily resident in Singapore, any purported vacation of his office at the 2009 annual general meeting shall be deemed to be invalid absent a prior appointment of another director to the Board who is ordinarily resident in Singapore.

The proxy holders intend to vote all proxies received by them in the accompanying form for the nominees for directors listed below. In the event that any nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the 2009 annual general meeting, the proxies will be voted for any nominee who shall be designated by the present Board of Directors of the company, in accordance with Article 100 of our Articles of Association, to fill the vacancy.

Messrs. Rockwell A. Schnabel and Ajay Shah have announced that they will retire from the Board at the 2009 annual general meeting.

As of the date of this proxy statement, our Board of Directors is not aware of any other nominee who is unable or will decline to serve as a director.

The Board recommends a vote “FOR”
the re-election of Messrs. Davidson, Tan, Edwards, Watkins and Schulman
to our Board of Directors.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which we refer to as the Code, is available on the Corporate Governance page of our website atwww.flextronics.com. In accordance with SEC rules, we intend to disclose on the Corporate Governance page of our website any amendment (other than technical, administrative or other non-substantive amendments) to or any material waiver from, a provision of the Code that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller or persons performing similar functions.

Director Retirement Age

Under Section 153(2) of the Companies Act, the office of a director of a public company or of a subsidiary of a public company becomes vacant at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting commencing after such director attains the age of 70 years. However, under Section 153(6) of the Companies Act, a person 70 years old or older may, by ordinary resolution be appointed or re-appointed as a director of that company, or be authorized to continue in office as a director of that company, to hold office until the next annual general meeting of shareholders.

Shareholder Communications with our Board of Directors

Our shareholders may communicate with our Board of Directors by sending ane-mail to board@flextronics.com. Alle-mails received will be sent to the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Financial Officerand/or Senior Vice President, Finance. Thee-mail correspondence is regularly reviewed and summaries are provided to the full Board.

Board of Directors

Our Articles of Association give our Board of Directors general powers to manage our business. The Board oversees and provides policy guidance on our strategic and business planning processes, oversees the conduct of our business by senior management and is principally responsible for the succession planning for our key executives, including our Chief Executive Officer.

Our Board of Directors held a total of seventeen meetings during fiscal year 2009, of which four (4) were regularly scheduled meetings and thirteen were special meetings. During the period for which each current director was a director or a committee member, each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of our Board in fiscal 2009 together with the total number of meetings held by all committees of our Board on which he served, except for Mr. Shah, who attended 70% of such meetings. During fiscal year 2009, our non-employee directors met at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management participation.

Our Board has adopted a policy that encourages each director to attend the annual general meeting, but attendance is not required. Mr. McNamara attended the company’s 2008 annual general meeting.

Director Independence

To assist our Board of Directors in determining the independence of our directors, the Board has adopted Director Independence Guidelines, which incorporate the definition of independence of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, which we refer to below as Nasdaq. Our Board has determined that each of the company’s directors is an independent director as defined by the applicable rules of Nasdaq and our Director Independence Guidelines, other than Mr. McNamara. Under the Nasdaq definition and our Director Independence Guidelines, a director is independent only if the Board determines that the director does not have any relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In addition, under the Nasdaq definition and our Director Independence

Guidelines, a director will not be independent if the director has certain disqualifying relationships. In evaluating independence, the Board broadly considers all relevant facts and circumstances. Our Director Independence Guidelines are included in our Guidelines with Regard to Certain Governance Matters, a copy of which is available on the Corporate Governance page of our website atwww.flextronics.com.

In evaluating the independence of our independent directors, the Board considered certain transactions, relationships and arrangements between us and various third parties with which certain of our independent directors are affiliated, and determined that such transactions, relationships and arrangements did not interfere with such directors’ exercise of independent judgment in carrying out their responsibilities as directors. In addition to the information set forth under the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Transactions with Related Persons” beginning on page 72 of this proxy statement, these transactions, relationships and arrangements were as follows:

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is currently composed of Messrs. Edwards, Shah, Tan and Watkins, each of whom the Board has determined to be independent and to meet the financial experience requirements under both the rules of the SEC and the listing standards of the NASDAQ Global Select Market. The Board has also determined that Mr. Edwards is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of the rules of the SEC and is “financially sophisticated” within the meaning of the rules of Nasdaq. The Audit Committee held 7 meetings during fiscal year 2009. The committee’s principal functions are to:


	•	monitor and evaluate periodic reviews of the adequacy of the accounting and financial reporting processes and systems of internal control that are conducted by our financial and senior management, and our independent auditors;

	•	be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of our independent auditors (including resolution of any disagreements between our management and the auditors regarding financial reporting); and

	•	facilitate communication among our independent auditors, our financial and senior management and our Board.

Our Board has adopted an Audit Committee Charter that is available on the Corporate Governance page of our website atwww.flextronics.com.

Compensation Committee

Responsibilities and Meetings

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing and approving the goals and objectives relating to, and determining the compensation of, our Chief Executive Officer and all other executive officers. The committee also oversees management’s decisions concerning the performance and compensation of other officers, administers the company’s equity compensation plans, reviews and recommends to our Board the compensation of our non-employee directors and regularly evaluates the effectiveness of our overall executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee is currently composed of Messrs. Davidson, Schnabel and Schulman, each of whom our Board has determined to be an independent director under applicable listing standards of the NASDAQ Global Select Market. The committee held 9 meetings during fiscal year 2009. The specific powers and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are set forth in more detail in the Compensation Committee Charter, which is available on the Corporate Governance page of our website atwww.flextronics.com.

Delegation of Authority

When appropriate, our Compensation Committee may form, and delegate authority to, subcommittees. In addition, in accordance with the company’s equity compensation plans, the Compensation Committee’s charter allows the committee to delegate to our Chief Executive Officer its authority to grant stock options to employees of the company who are not directors or executive officers. In November of 2006, however, the Compensation Committee approved an Equity Compensation Grant Policy, which provides that all grants of equity awards (including stock options and share bonus awards) must be approved by the Board of Directors or the committee.

Compensation Processes and Procedures

The Compensation Committee makes all compensation decisions for our executive officers. In making its determinations, the committee meets with our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to obtain recommendations with respect to the structure of our compensation programs and compensation decisions, including the performance of individual executives. In addition, the committee has the authority to retain and terminate any independent, third-party compensation consultant and to obtain advice and assistance from internal and external legal, accounting and other advisors. During our 2009 fiscal year, the Committee

engaged Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (referred to in this discussion as F.W. Cook) as its independent adviser for certain executive compensation matters. F.W. Cook was retained by the Committee to provide an independent review of the company’s executive compensation programs, including an analysis of both the competitive market and the design of the programs. As part of its report to the Committee, F.W. Cook selected peer companies, and provided competitive compensation data, benchmarking and analysis relating to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and our other executives and senior officers. The Committee relied on input from F.W. Cook in evaluating management’s recommendations and arriving at the Committee’s recommendations to the Board with respect to the elements of compensation discussed below in this discussion and analysis. However, in December 2008, the Committee recommended and our Board approved modifications to our annual incentive bonus plan and additional equity grants for our employees, including our executives, and in March 2009, the Committee recommended and our Board approved additional equity grants for our Chief Executive Officer. The Committee and our Board took these additional actions in order to better align our annual incentive bonus plan with our business strategy and to retain and incentivize our employees, including our executives. These actions were not part of the more formal annual compensation review and, accordingly, were not based on input from F.W. Cook. For further discussion, please see below under “—Fiscal Year 2009 Executive Compensation—Summary of Fiscal Year 2009 Compensation Decisions,” “—Annual Incentive Bonus Plan—Modification of Performance Metrics During Fiscal 2009” and “—Stock-Based Compensation—Grants During Fiscal Year 2009.”

F.W. Cook has not provided any other services to the company and has received no compensation other than with respect to the services provided to the Committee. The Committee expects that it will continue to retain an independent compensation consultant on future executive compensation matters. The Compensation Committee also reviews and makes recommendations to our Board for the compensation of our non-employee directors. To assist the committee in its annual review of director compensation, our management provides director compensation data compiled from the annual reports and proxy statements of companies in our peer comparison group. In addition, as discussed in further detail in the section below captioned “Non-Management Directors’ Compensation in Fiscal Year 2009,” the Committee retained Radford Consulting, or Radford, to assist in its review of our non-employee directors’ compensation. Radford also provided assistance to the Committee in connection with the proposal and implementation of our employee stock option exchange program.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

During our 2009 fiscal year, Mr. James A. Davidson and Mr. Rockwell A. Schnabel served as members of the Compensation Committee. None of our executive officers served on the Compensation Committee during our 2009 fiscal year. None of our directors has interlocking or other relationships with other boards, compensation committees or our executive officers that require disclosure under Item 407(e)(4) ofRegulation S-K.

In March 2003, we issued $195.0 million aggregate principal amount of our Zero Coupon Convertible Junior Subordinated Notes due 2008 to funds affiliated with Silver Lake. In connection with the issuance of the notes, we appointed James A. Davidson, a co-founder and managing director of Silver Lake, to our Board of Directors. In July 2006, we entered into an agreement with the Silver Lake note holders to, among other things (i) extend the maturity date of the notes to July 31, 2009 and (ii) provide for net share settlement of the notes upon maturity. The notes may no longer be converted or redeemed prior to maturity, other than in connection with certain change of control transactions, and upon maturity will be net share settled by the payment of cash equal to the face amount of the notes and the issuance of shares with a value equal to any conversion value in excess of the face amount of the notes. The terms of the transaction were based on arms-length negotiations between us and Silver Lake, and were approved by our Board of Directors as well as by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee currently is currently composed of Messrs. Bingham, Edwards, Schnabel and Shih, each of whom our Board has determined to be an independent director under applicable listing standards of the NASDAQ Global Select Market. Mr. Edwards joined the Committee on June 15, 2009. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held 3 meetings during fiscal year 2009. The committee recruits, evaluates and recommends candidates for appointment or election as members of our Board. The committee also recommends corporate governance guidelines to the Board and oversees the Board’s annual self-evaluation process. Our Board has adopted a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter that is available on the Corporate Governance page of our website atwww.flextronics.com.

The goal of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is to ensure that our Board possesses a variety of perspectives and skills derived from high-quality business and professional experience. The committee seeks to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience and capability on our Board, while maintaining a sense of collegiality and cooperation that is conducive to a productive working relationship within the Board and between the Board and management. To this end, the committee seeks nominees with the highest professional and personal ethics and values, an understanding of our business and industry, diversity of business experience and expertise, a high level of education, broad-based business acumen, and the ability to think strategically. Although the committee uses these and other criteria to evaluate potential nominees, we have no stated minimum criteria for nominees. The committee does not have different standards for evaluating nominees depending on whether they are proposed by our directors and management or by our shareholders.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee generally recruits, evaluates and recommends nominees for our Board based upon recommendations by our directors and management. The committee will also consider recommendations submitted by our shareholders. Shareholders can recommend qualified candidates for our Board to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee by submitting recommendations to our corporate secretary at Flextronics International Ltd., One Marina Boulevard, #28-00, Singapore 018989. Submissions that are received and meet the criteria outlined above will be forwarded to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for review and consideration. Shareholder recommendations for our 2010 annual general meeting should be made not later than April 28, 2010 to ensure adequate time for meaningful consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. To date, we have not received any such recommendations from our shareholders.

Director Share Ownership Guidelines

At the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, our Board of Directors adopted share ownership guidelines for non-employee directors in July 2009 in connection with its review of our non-employee directors’ compensation. The ownership guidelines encourage our non-employees directors to hold a minimum number of our ordinary shares equivalent to $225,000 in value. The guidelines encourage our non-employee directors to reach this goal within five years of the date the Board approved the guidelines or the date of their election to our Board of Directors, whichever is later, and to hold the shares for as long as he or she serves on our Board.

NON-MANAGEMENT DIRECTORS’ COMPENSATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2009

The key objective of our non-employee directors’ compensation program is to attract and retain highly qualified directors with the necessary skills, experience and character to oversee our management. By using a combination of cash and equity-based compensation, the compensation program is designed to recognize the time commitment, expertise and potential liability relating to active Board service, while aligning the interests of our Board of Directors with the long-term interests of our shareholders. In accordance with the policy of our Board of Directors, we do not pay management directors for Board service in addition to their regular employee compensation.

In addition to the compensation provided to our non-employee directors, which is detailed below, each non-employee director is reimbursed for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending in-person meetings of the Board of Directors and Board committees, as well for any fees incurred in attending continuing education courses for directors.

In July 2009, assisted by Radford, a compensation consulting firm, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors conducted a review of our non-employee director compensation program. This review was conducted to establish whether the compensation paid to our non-employee directors was competitive when compared to the practices of our established peer group of companies, which is discussed in the section below captioned “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.” The Compensation Committee reviewed, among other things, the current cash compensation of our non-employee directors, the FAS123R grant date fair value of options and share bonus awards, the total compensation of our non-employee Chairman of the Board and the aggregate number of our ordinary shares held currently by each of our non-employee directors. The Compensation Committee, with the assistance of Radford, also took into consideration compensation trends for outside directors and the recent implementation of new share ownership guidelines for non-employee directors.

Based on Radford’s review and analysis of the compensation practices of our peer group, the Compensation Committee determined that:


	•	cash compensation paid to our non-employee directors was below the 50th percentile of cash compensation paid to non-employee directors within the peer group;

	•	the majority of companies within the peer group have moved exclusively from stock options to restricted stock grants as the means of establishing the desired level of stock ownership at the board level, so that directors hold a meaningful ownership position in the company and consequently, their interests are aligned with those of shareholders; and

	•	the stock awarded to non-employee directors at a majority of companies within the peer group was subject to vesting based on future service as a director and was not used as a means of compensating directors for prior service.

Based on Radford’s analysis, and upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, our Board approved changes to our non-employee director compensation, including:


	•	the approval of a shareholder proposal to increase the annual retainer for Board service and for participation on the Compensation Committee;

	•	the elimination of the automatic stock option grant provisions of the 2001 Equity Incentive Plan in favor of an increase in the amount of the yearly share bonus award; and

	•	the replacement of half of the yearly share bonus award for our non-employee Chairman of the Board with cash compensation.

In addition, our Board modified the terms of the yearly share bonus awards granted to our non-employee directors, which previously were fully vested at grant and served as compensation for past service on the Board. In the future, the yearly share bonus awards granted to our non-employee directors will be subject to a vesting requirement and will serve as compensation for future service during the vesting period of the award. The Board also approved, on the committee’s recommendation, the implementation of new share ownership guidelines, which encourage our non-employees directors to hold at a minimum ordinary shares equivalent to $225,000 in value within five years. The changes to our non-employee director compensation are discussed in further detail in the sections below captioned “Annual Cash Compensation,” “Revised Equity Compensation Program” and “Compensation for the Non-Employee Chairman of the Board.”

As a result of these changes, Radford advised the Compensation Committee that overall compensation for our non-employee directors will approximate the 50th percentile of the established peer group of companies.

Annual Cash Compensation

Under the Singapore Companies Act, Cap. 50, we may only provide cash compensation to our non-employee directors for services rendered in their capacity as directors with the prior approval of our shareholders at a general meeting. Our shareholders approved the current cash compensation arrangements for our non-employee directors at our 2007 annual general meeting. The current arrangements include the following compensation:


	•	annual cash compensation of $60,000, payable quarterly in arrears to each non-employee director, for services rendered as a director;

	•	additional annual cash compensation of $50,000, payable quarterly in arrears to the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors for services rendered as Chairman of the Audit Committee and for participation on the committee;

	•	additional annual cash compensation of $15,000, payable quarterly in arrears to each other non-employee director who serves on the Audit Committee for participation on the committee;

	•	additional annual cash compensation of $25,000, payable quarterly in arrears to the Chairman of the Compensation Committee for services rendered as Chairman of the Compensation Committee and for participation on the committee;

	•	additional annual cash compensation of $10,000, payable quarterly in arrears to the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for services rendered as Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and for participation on the committee; and

	•	additional annual cash compensation of $5,000 payable quarterly in arrears to each of our non-employee directors for participation on each standing committee other than the Audit Committee.

Non-employee directors do not receive any non-equity incentive compensation, or participate in any pension plan or deferred compensation plan.

We are currently seeking approval from our shareholders to: (i) increase from $60,000 to $75,000 the annual cash compensation payable to each of the company’s non-employee directors for services rendered as a director; (ii) provide additional annual cash compensation of $100,000 to the non-employee Chairman of the Board for services rendered as Chairman of the Board in lieu of one-half of the annual share bonus award currently made to our Chairman of the Board; and (iii) increase from $5,000 to $10,000 the annual cash compensation payable to the members of the Compensation Committee (other than the Chairman of the Compensation Committee) for participation on the committee.

We are maintaining the additional cash compensation payable to the chairmen of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and the additional cash compensation payable to the members of the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for their services on such committees. For additional information, see the section entitled “Flextronics Proposal No. 6: Ordinary Resolution to Approve Changes to the Cash Compensation Payable to our Directors and Additional Cash Compensation for the Chairmen of the Board” beginning on page 34 of this proxy statement.

Fiscal Year 2009 Equity Compensation

Initial Option Grants

Prior to July 22, 2009, upon becoming a director of the company, each non-employee director received a one-time grant of stock options to purchase 25,000 ordinary shares under the automatic option grant provisions of the 2001 Plan. These options vested and were exercisable as to 25% of the shares on the first anniversary of the grant date and in 36 equal monthly installments thereafter. The options had an expiration

date of five years from the date of grant. Messrs. Robert L. Edwards, Daniel H. Schulman and William D. Watkins each received stock options to purchase 25,000 ordinary shares under this program on October 13, 2008, June 18, 2009 and April 14, 2009, respectively.

Yearly Option Grants

Prior to the changes approved by our Board of Directors on July 22, 2009, each non-employee director was entitled on the date of each annual general meeting to receive stock options to purchase 12,500 ordinary shares under the terms of the automatic option grant provisions of the 2001 Plan. These options vested and were exercisable as to 25% of the shares on the first anniversary of the grant date and in 36 equal monthly installments thereafter. The options had an expiration date of five years from the date of grant. During fiscal year 2009, each non-employee director other than Messrs. Edwards, Schulman and Watkins received stock options to purchase 12,500 ordinary shares under this program.

Yearly Share Bonus Awards

Under the terms of the discretionary share bonus grant provisions of the 2001 Plan and as approved by our Compensation Committee, each non-employee director receives, following each annual general meeting of the company, a yearly share bonus award consisting of such number of shares having an aggregate fair market value of $100,000 on the date of grant. During fiscal year 2009, each non-employee director other than Messrs. Edwards, Schulman and Watkins received a share bonus award of 14,124 ordinary shares under this program. Our Board of Directors has approved modifications to this yearly share bonus award, which are discussed in further detail below.

Discretionary Grants

Under the terms of the discretionary option grant provisions of the 2001 Plan, non-employee directors are eligible to receive stock options granted at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. No director received stock options pursuant to the discretionary grant program during fiscal year 2009. The maximum number of ordinary shares that may be subject to awards granted to each non-employee director under the 2001 Plan is 100,000 ordinary shares in each calendar year.

Revised Equity Compensation Program

Based on the Compensation Committee’s review of our non-employee director equity compensation program, the committee recommended, and our Board of Directors approved, the following changes to the equity compensation of our non-employee directors:


	•	We are eliminating the initial stock option grant for new directors and the yearly stock option grant for continuing directors;

	•	We are replacing the yearly share bonus award grant, which was fully vested on the date of grant, with a yearly share bonus award grant that will (i) consist of such number of shares having an aggregate fair market value of $125,000 on the date of grant; and (ii) vest on the date immediately prior to the date of the next year’s annual general meeting; and

	•	As a replacement for the initial stock option grant, upon becoming a director of the company, each new non-employee director of the company will receive a pro-rated share of the yearly share bonus award. The pro-rated award will vest on the date immediately prior to the date of our next annual general meeting and will be based on the amount of time that the director will serve on the Board until such date.

The foregoing changes are effective as of the date of the 2009 annual general meeting and will not affect compensation payable with respect to prior service. Therefore, following our 2009 annual general meeting, our non-employee directors will receive the yearly share bonus awards payable with respect to their service on the Board since the date of the 2008 annual general meeting.

Compensation for the Non-Employee Chairman of the Board

Prior to the changes approved by our Board of Directors on July 22, 2009, our non-executive Chairman was entitled to receive, following each annual general meeting of the company, a yearly share bonus award that was fully vested on the date of grant and consisted of such number of shares having an aggregate fair market value of $200,000 on the grant date. The non-executive Chairman was also entitled to continue to receive cash compensation for service as chairman of the Audit Committee if appointed to such position, but otherwise was not eligible to receive cash compensation for service on any Board committees. The non-executive Chairman was entitled to receive all other compensation payable to our non-employee directors. Following the 2008 annual general meeting, Mr. Bingham, who has served as our non-executive Chairman since January 2008, received 20,376 ordinary shares under this program as a pro-rata share of the share bonus award grant for the period during which he had served as our Chairman.

On July 22, 2009, the Compensation Committee recommended, and our Board subsequently approved, the following changes to the manner in which our non-employee Chairman of the Board is compensated:


	•	We are replacing one-half of the Chairman’s annual share bonus award with $100,000 in cash compensation, payable quarterly in arrears; and

	•	We are modifying the other half of the Chairman’s annual share bonus award. The modified share bonus award will (i) consist of such number of shares having an aggregate fair market value of $100,000 on the date of grant; and (ii) vest on the date immediately prior to the date of the next year’s annual general meeting.

Our Chairman of the Board will remain eligible to receive all other compensation payable to our non-employee directors, other than cash compensation payable for service on any Board committees. Pursuant to Proposal No. 6 of this proxy statement, we are currently seeking approval from our shareholders to allow for the additional cash compensation for our Chairman of the Board, and the foregoing changes to the Chairman’s compensation are subject to approval by our shareholders of Proposal No. 6. In addition, the foregoing changes would be effective as of the date of our 2009 annual general meeting and will not affect compensation payable with respect to prior service. Therefore, following the 2009 annual general meeting, our non-employee Chairman of the Board will receive the yearly share bonus award payable with respect to his service as our Chairman since the date of the 2008 annual general meeting.

As described above, the maximum number of ordinary shares that may be subject to awards granted to each non-employee director under the 2001 Plan is 100,000 ordinary shares in each calendar year. As a result of the transition from our granting the yearly share bonus awards for prior service to granting the yearly share bonus awards subject to vesting requirements as compensation for future service, Mr. Bingham may be entitled to receive more shares on the date of the 2009 annual general meeting than are allowed under the terms of the discretionary award program of our 2001 Equity Incentive Plan. We will defer until calendar year 2010 the grant of any ordinary shares subject to the share bonus awards that our Chairman is entitled to receive on the date of the 2009 annual general meeting, which are in excess of the 100,000-share limitation.

Director Summary Compensation in Fiscal Year 2009

The following table sets forth the fiscal year 2009 compensation for our non-employee directors. Messrs. Watkins and Schulman, who were appointed to our Board of Directors on April 14, 2009 and June 18, 2009, respectively, did not receive any compensation in our 2009 fiscal year.

(1)		This column represents the amount of cash compensation earned in fiscal year 2009 for Board and committee services.

(2)		This column represents the dollar amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to the 2009 fiscal year for the fair value of share bonus awards granted in 2008 and expected to be granted in 2009 in accordance with SFAS 123(R). The amount for Mr. Bingham also includes incremental compensation costs beginning March 31, 2008 for his pro-rata share of the additional yearly share bonus award issued following the 2008 annual general meeting for serving as our Chairman. As the share bonus awards were in the form of fully vested and non-forfeitable shares, fair value is the closing price of our ordinary shares on the date of grant.

(3)		The amounts in this column do not reflect compensation actually received by the non-employee directors nor do they reflect the actual value that will be recognized by the non-employee directors. Instead, the amounts reflect the compensation cost recognized by us in fiscal year 2009 for financial statement reporting purposes in accordance with SFAS 123(R) for stock options granted in and prior to fiscal year 2009. The amounts in this column exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. Information regarding the assumptions made in calculating the amounts reflected in this column for grants made in fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007 is included in the section entitled “Stock-Based Compensation” under Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, included in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. For information regarding the assumptions made in calculating the amounts reflected in this column for grants made prior to fiscal year 2007, see the section entitled “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” under Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the respective fiscal years included in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for those respective fiscal years.

The table below shows the aggregate number of ordinary shares underlying stock options held by our non-employee directors as of the 2009 fiscal year-end:


		Number of Ordinary Shares Underlying
Name		Outstanding Stock Options (#)

H. Raymond Bingham		62,500
James A. Davidson		107,500

**		Mr. Watkins was appointed to our Board of Directors on April 14, 2009. Mr. Schulman was appointed to our Board of Directors on June 18, 2009.

(4)		The grant-date fair value of yearly share bonus awards and stock options granted in fiscal year 2009 to each non-employee director (other than Mr. Edwards and Mr. Bingham) totals $128,730, of which $100,000 relates to share bonus awards and $28,730 relates to stock options. The grant-date fair value of yearly share bonus awards and stock options granted to Mr. Bingham in fiscal year 2009 totaled $272,990, of which $244,260 relates to share bonus awards and $28,730 relates to stock options. The grant-date fair value is the amount that we will expense in our financial statements over the award’s vesting schedule. For share bonus awards, fair value is the closing price of our ordinary shares on the date of grant. For stock options, the fair value is calculated using the Black-Scholes value on the grant date of $2.30 per option. Additionally, we made an initial option grant of 25,000 options to Mr. Edwards upon the time he became a non-employee director of the company in October 2008. The fair value of his initial stock options was $1.70 per option on the grant date. The fair values of share bonus awards and option awards are accounted for in accordance with SFAS 123(R). Additional information on the valuation assumptions is included in the section entitled “Stock-Based Compensation” under Note 2 of our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, included in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. These amounts reflect our accounting expense, and do not correspond to the actual value that will be recognized by the non-employee directors.

Change of Control and Termination Provisions of the 2001 Plan

Under the terms of the 2001 Plan, if a director ceases to provide services to the company for any reason other than death, cause (as defined in the plan) or disability (as defined in the plan), then the director may exercise any options which have vested by the date of such termination within three months of the termination date or such other period not exceeding five years or the term of the option, as determined by the Compensation Committee. If a director ceases to provide services to the company because of death or disability, then the director may exercise any options which have vested by the date of such termination within 12 months of the termination date or such other period not exceeding five years or the term of the option, as determined by the Compensation Committee. All stock options held by a director who is terminated for cause expire on the termination date, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee. All share bonus awards held by our directors are in the form of fully vested and non-forfeitable shares.

Except for grants made under the automatic option grant program, in the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the company or if we are acquired by merger or asset sale or in the event of other change of control events, each outstanding stock option shall automatically accelerate so that each such option grant shall, immediately prior to the effective date of such transaction, become fully vested with respect to the total

number of shares then subject to such award. However, subject to the specific terms of a given option, vesting shall not so accelerate if, and to the extent, such option is either to be assumed or replaced with a comparable right covering shares of the capital stock of the successor corporation or parent thereof or is replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the inherent value existing at the time of such transaction.

For grants made under the automatic option grant program, in the event of a change of control transaction described above, each outstanding option will accelerate so that each such option shall, prior to the effective date of such transaction at such times and with such conditions as determined by the Compensation Committee, (i) become fully vested with respect to the total number of shares then subject to such award and (ii) remain exercisable for a period of three months following the consummation of the change of control transaction. However, in the event of a hostile take-over of the company pursuant to a tender or exchange offer, the director has a right to surrender each option, which has been held by him or her for at least six months, in return for a cash distribution by the company in an amount equal to the excess of (a) the take-over price per share over (b) the exercise price payable for such share.

PROPOSAL NO. 3:
RE-APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2010 AND
AUTHORIZATION OF OUR BOARD TO FIX THEIR REMUNERATION

Our Audit Committee has approved, subject to shareholder approval, the re-appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit our accounts and records for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010, and to perform other appropriate services. In addition, pursuant to Section 205(16) of the Singapore Companies Act, Cap. 50, our Board of Directors is requesting that the shareholders authorize the directors, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, to fix the auditors’ remuneration for services rendered through the next annual general meeting. We expect that a representative from Deloitte & Touche LLP will be present at the 2009 annual general meeting. This representative will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Principal Accountant Fees and Services

Set forth below are the aggregate fees billed by our principal accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, a member firm of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, and their respective affiliates for services performed during fiscal years 2009 and 2008. All audit and permissible non-audit services reflected in the fees below were pre-approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with established procedures.

Audit Fees	$	10.0	$	9.8
Audit-Related Fees	$	—	$	0.2
Tax Fees	$	3.1	$	4.4
All Other Fees	$	—	$	—

Total	$	13.1	$	14.4

Audit Feesconsist of fees for professional services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report onForm 10-K (including services incurred with rendering an opinion under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) and the review of our consolidated financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports onForm 10-Q. These fees include fees for services that are normally incurred in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, such as comfort letters, statutory audits, consents and review of documents filed with the SEC.

Audit-Related Feesconsist of fees for assurance and related services by our independent registered public accounting firm that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our consolidated financial statements and not included in Audit Fees. In fiscal year 2008, these fees related primarily to due diligence services performed in connection with our acquisition of Solectron Corporation.

Tax Feesconsist of fees for professional services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning services. These services include assistance regarding federal, state and international tax compliance, return preparation, tax audits and customs and duties.

All Other Feesconsist of fees for professional services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm for permissible non-audit services, if any. We did not incur fees under this category during fiscal years 2009 or 2008.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy

Our Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year, and any pre-

approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services. The independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. The Audit Committee may also pre-approve particular services on acase-by-case basis.

Our Audit Committee has determined that the provision of non-audit services under appropriate circumstances may be compatible with maintaining the independence of Deloitte & Touche LLP, and that all such services provided by Deloitte & Touche LLP to us in the past were compatible with maintaining such independence. The Audit Committee is sensitive to the concern that some non-audit services, and related fees, could impair independence and the Audit Committee believes it important that independence be maintained. However, the Audit Committee also recognizes that in some areas, services that are identified by the relevant regulations as “tax fees” or “other fees” are sufficiently related to the audit work performed by Deloitte & Touche LLP that it would be highly inefficient and unnecessarily expensive to use a separate firm to perform those non-audit services. The Audit Committee intends to evaluate each such circumstance on its own merits, and to approve the performance of non-audit services where it believes efficiency can be obtained without meaningfully compromising independence.

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the re-appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP
as our independent auditors for fiscal year 2010 and authorization of the Board, upon the

recommendation of the Audit Committee, to fix their remuneration.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The information contained under this “Audit Committee Report” shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the SEC, nor shall such information be incorporated by reference into any filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which we refer to as the Securities Act, or under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as the Exchange Act, or be subject to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this information by reference into any such filing.

The Audit Committee assists our Board of Directors in overseeing financial accounting and reporting processes and systems of internal controls. The Audit Committee also evaluates the performance and independence of our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter, a copy of which is available on the Corporate Governance page of our website atwww.flextronics.com. Under the written charter, the Audit Committee must consist of at least three directors, all of whom must be “independent” as defined by the Exchange Act and the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq. The members of the committee during fiscal year 2009 were Messrs. Bingham, Edwards, Shah and Tan, each of whom is an independent director. The current members of the committee are Messrs. Edwards, Shah, Tan and Watkins, each of whom is an independent director.

Our financial and senior management supervise our systems of internal controls and the financial reporting process. Our independent auditors perform an independent audit of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and express opinions on these consolidated financial statements. In addition, our independent auditors express their own opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee monitors these processes.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with both the management of the company and our independent auditors our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, as well as management’s assessment and our independent auditors’ evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our management represented to the Audit Committee that our audited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Audit Committee also discussed with our independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees), as may be modified or supplemented. The Audit Committee also has discussed with our independent auditors the firm’s independence from Company management and the Company, and reviewed the written disclosures and letter from the independent registered certified public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent registered certified public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence. The Audit Committee has also considered whether the provision of non-audit services by our independent auditors is compatible with maintaining the independence of the auditors. The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent auditors. All audit and permissible non-audit services performed by our independent auditors during fiscal year 2009 and fiscal year 2008 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with established procedures.

Based on the Audit Committee’s discussions with the management of the company and our independent auditors and based on the Audit Committee’s review of our audited consolidated financial statements together with the reports of our independent auditors on the consolidated financial statements and the representations of our management with regard to these consolidated financial statements, the Audit Committee recommended to the company’s Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, which was filed with the SEC on May 20, 2009.

PROPOSAL NO. 4:
ORDINARY RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE
ORDINARY SHARE ISSUANCES

We are incorporated in the Republic of Singapore. Under Singapore law, our directors may only issue ordinary shares and make or grant offers, agreements or options that might or would require the issuance of ordinary shares, with the prior approval from our shareholders. If this proposal is approved, the authorization would be effective from the date of the 2009 annual general meeting until the earlier of (i) the conclusion of the 2010 annual general meeting or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the 2010 annual general meeting is required by law to be held. The 2010 annual general meeting is required to be held no later than 15 months after the date of the 2009 annual general meeting and no later than six months after the date of our 2010 fiscal year end (except that Singapore law allows for a one-time application for an extension of up to a maximum of three months to be made with the Singapore Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority).

Our Board believes that it is advisable and in the best interests of our shareholders for our shareholders to authorize our directors to issue ordinary shares and to make or grant offers, agreements or options that might or would require the issuance of ordinary shares. In the past, the Board has issued shares or made agreements that would require the issuance of new ordinary shares in the following situations:


	•	in connection with strategic transactions and acquisitions;

	•	pursuant to public and private offerings of our ordinary shares as well as instruments convertible into our ordinary shares; and

	•	in connection with our equity compensation plans and arrangements.

Notwithstanding this general authorization to issue our ordinary shares, we will be required to seek shareholder approval with respect to future issuances of ordinary shares where required under the rules of Nasdaq, such as where the company proposes to issue ordinary shares that will result in a change in control of the company or in connection with a transaction involving the issuance of ordinary shares representing 20% or more of our outstanding ordinary shares.

Our Board expects that we will continue to issue ordinary shares and grant options and share bonus awards in the future under circumstances similar to those in the past. As of the date of this proxy statement, other than issuances of ordinary shares or agreements that would require the issuance of new ordinary shares in connection with our equity compensation plans and arrangements, including shares issuable in connection with new options that may be granted in connection with our employee stock option exchange program, we have no specific plans, agreements or commitments to issue any ordinary shares for which approval of this proposal is required. Nevertheless, our Board believes that it is advisable and in the best interests of our shareholders for our shareholders to provide this general authorization in order to avoid the delay and expense of obtaining shareholder approval at a later date and to provide us with greater flexibility to pursue strategic transactions and acquisitions and raise additional capital through public and private offerings of our ordinary shares as well as instruments convertible into our ordinary shares.

If this proposal is approved, our directors would be authorized to issue, during the period described above, ordinary shares subject only to applicable Singapore laws and the rules of Nasdaq. The issuance of a large number of ordinary shares could be dilutive to existing shareholders or reduce the trading price of our ordinary shares on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.

We are submitting this proposal because we are required to do so under Singapore law before our Board of Directors can issue any ordinary shares in connection with strategic transactions, public and private offerings and in connection with our equity compensation plans. We are not submitting this proposal in response to a threatened takeover. In the event of a hostile attempt to acquire control of the company, we could seek to impede the attempt by issuing ordinary shares, which may dilute the voting power of our existing shareholders. This could also have the effect of impeding the efforts of our shareholders to remove an incumbent director and replace him with a new director of their choice. These potential effects could limit the opportunity for our shareholders to dispose of their ordinary shares at the premium that may be available in takeover attempts.

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the resolution
to authorize ordinary share issuances.

PROPOSAL NO. 5:
ORDINARY RESOLUTION TO RENEW THE SHARE PURCHASE MANDATE

Our purchases or acquisitions of our ordinary shares must be made in accordance with, and in the manner prescribed by, the Companies Act, the applicable listing rules of Nasdaq and such other laws and regulations as may from time to time be applicable.

Singapore law requires that we obtain shareholder approval of a “general and unconditional share purchase mandate” given to our directors if we wish to purchase or otherwise acquire our ordinary shares. This general and unconditional mandate is referred to in this proxy statement as the Share Purchase Mandate, and it allows our directors to exercise all of the company’s powers to purchase or otherwise acquire our issued ordinary shares on the terms of the Share Purchase Mandate. Although our shareholders approved a renewal of the Share Purchase Mandate at the 2008 annual general meeting. Our directors have not exercised any of the Company’s powers to purchase or otherwise acquire any ordinary shares pursuant to the 2008 renewal of the Share Purchase Mandate. The Share Purchase Mandate renewed at the 2008 annual general meeting will expire on the date of the 2009 annual general meeting. Accordingly, we are submitting this proposal to seek approval from our shareholders at the 2009 annual general meeting for another renewal of the Share Purchase Mandate.

If renewed by shareholders at the 2009 annual general meeting, the authority conferred by the Share Purchase Mandate will, unless varied or revoked by our shareholders at a general meeting, continue in force until the earlier of the date of the 2010 annual general meeting or the date by which the 2010 annual general meeting is required by law to be held.

The authority and limitations placed on our share purchases or acquisitions under the proposed Share Purchase Mandate, if renewed at the 2009 annual general meeting, are summarized below.

Limit on Allowed Purchases

We may only purchase or acquire ordinary shares that are issued and fully paid up. We may not purchase or acquire more than 10% of the total number of issued ordinary shares outstanding at the date of the 2009 annual general meeting or at September 30, 2008 (the date of our last annual general meeting of shareholders), whichever is greater. Any of our ordinary shares which are held as treasury shares will be disregarded for purposes of computing this 10% limit.

Purely for illustrative purposes, on the basis of 810,719,538 issued ordinary shares outstanding as of July 24, 2009 and assuming that no additional ordinary shares are issued on or prior to the 2009 annual general meeting, pursuant to the proposed Share Purchase Mandate, we would be able to purchase not more than 81,071,953 issued ordinary shares.

Purchases or acquisitions of our ordinary shares pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate also are subject to limitations under the Indentures governing our 61/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 and 61/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014. Under the Indentures, as recently amended, the aggregate amount of purchases or acquisitions generally is limited to the sum of (A) 50% of our cumulative consolidated net income (as calculated under the Indentures) for the period commencing on April 1, 2009, plus (B) 100% of the fair market value received by us from the issuance or sale of our ordinary shares since April 1, 2009. In addition, we generally are permitted to make purchases or acquisitions of our ordinary shares under the Indentures in an aggregate amount of up to $250 million.

Duration of Share Purchase Mandate

Purchases or acquisitions of ordinary shares may be made, at any time and from time to time, on and from the date of approval of the Share Purchase Mandate up to the earlier of:


	•	the date on which our next annual general meeting is held or required by law to be held; or

	•	the date on which the authority conferred by the Share Purchase Mandate is revoked or varied by our shareholders at a general meeting.

Manner of Purchases or Acquisitions of Ordinary Shares

Purchases or acquisitions of ordinary shares may be made by way of:


	•	market purchases on the NASDAQ Global Select Market or any other stock exchange on which our ordinary shares may for the time being be listed and quoted, through one or more duly licensed dealers appointed by us for that purpose; and/or

	•	off-market purchases (if effected other than on the NASDAQ Global Select Market or, as the case may be, any other stock exchange on which our ordinary shares may for the time being be listed and quoted), in accordance with an equal access scheme as prescribed by the Companies Act.

If we decide to purchase or acquire our ordinary shares in accordance with an equal access scheme, our directors may impose any terms and conditions as they see fit and as are in our interests, so long as the terms are consistent with the Share Purchase Mandate, the applicable rules of Nasdaq, the provisions of the Companies Act and other applicable laws. In addition, an equal access scheme must satisfy all of the following conditions:


	•	offers for the purchase or acquisition of ordinary shares must be made to every person who holds ordinary shares to purchase or acquire the same percentage of their ordinary shares;

	•	all of those persons must be given a reasonable opportunity to accept the offers made; and

	•	the terms of all of the offers must be the same (except differences in consideration that result from offers relating to ordinary shares with different accrued dividend entitlements and differences in the offers solely to ensure that each person is left with a whole number of ordinary shares).

Purchase Price

The purchase price (excluding brokerage commission, applicable goods and services tax and other related expenses of the purchase or acquisition) to be paid for each ordinary share will be determined by our directors. The maximum purchase price to be paid for the ordinary shares as determined by our directors must not exceed:


	•	in the case of a market purchase, the highest independent bid or the last independent transaction price, whichever is higher, of our ordinary shares quoted or reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market or, as the case may be, any other stock exchange on which our ordinary shares may for the time being be listed and quoted, at the time the purchase is effected; and

	•	in the case of an off-market purchase pursuant to an equal access scheme, 150% of the “Prior Day Close Price” of our ordinary shares, which means the closing price of an ordinary share as quoted on the NASDAQ Global Select Market or, as the case may be, any other stock exchange on which our ordinary shares may for the time being be listed and quoted, on the day immediately preceding the date on which we announce our intention to make an offer for the purchase or acquisition of our ordinary shares from holders of our ordinary shares, stating therein the purchase price (which shall not be more than the maximum purchase price calculated on the foregoing basis) for each ordinary share and the relevant terms of the equal access scheme for effecting the off-market purchase.

Treasury Shares

Under the Companies Act, ordinary shares purchased or acquired by us may be held as treasury shares. Some of the provisions on treasury shares under the Companies Act are summarized below.

Maximum Holdings. The number of ordinary shares held as treasury shares may not at any time exceed 10% of the total number of issued ordinary shares.

Voting and Other Rights. We may not exercise any right in respect of treasury shares, including any right to attend or vote at meetings and, for the purposes of the Companies Act, we shall be treated as having no right to vote and the treasury shares shall be treated as having no voting rights. In addition, no dividend may be paid, and no other distribution of our assets may be made, to the company in respect of treasury shares, other than the allotment of ordinary shares as fully paid bonus shares. A subdivision or consolidation of any treasury share into treasury shares of a smaller amount is also allowed so long as the total value of the treasury shares after the subdivision or consolidation is the same as before the subdivision or consolidation, respectively.

Disposal and Cancellation. Where ordinary shares are held as treasury shares, we may at any time:


	•	sell the treasury shares for cash;

	•	transfer the treasury shares for the purposes of or pursuant to an employees’ share scheme;

	•	transfer the treasury shares as consideration for the acquisition of shares in or assets of another company or assets of a person;

	•	cancel the treasury shares; or

	•	sell, transfer or otherwise use the treasury shares for such other purposes as may be prescribed by the Minister for Finance of Singapore.

Sources of Funds

Only funds legally available for purchasing or acquiring ordinary shares in accordance with our Articles of Association and the applicable laws of Singapore shall be used. We intend to use our internal sources of fundsand/or borrowed funds to finance any purchase or acquisition of our ordinary shares. Our directors do not propose to exercise the Share Purchase Mandate in a manner and to such an extent that would materially affect our working capital requirements.

The Companies Act permits us to purchase and acquire our ordinary shares out of our capital or profits. Acquisitions or purchases made out of capital are permissible only so long as we are solvent for the purposes of section 76F(4) of the Companies Act. A company is solvent if (a) it is able to pay its debts in full at the time of the payment made in consideration of the purchase or acquisition (or the acquisition of any right with respect to the purchase or acquisition) of ordinary shares in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act and will be able to pay its debts as they fall due in the normal course of business during the12-month period immediately following the date of the payment; and (b) the value of the company’s assets is not less than the value of its liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and will not, after giving effect to the proposed purchase or acquisition, become less than the value of its liabilities (including contingent liabilities).

Status of Purchased or Acquired Ordinary Shares

Any ordinary share that we purchase or acquire will be deemed cancelled immediately on purchase or acquisition, and all rights and privileges attached to such ordinary share will expire on cancellation (unless such ordinary share is held by us as a treasury share). The total number of issued shares will be diminished by the number of ordinary shares purchased or acquired by us and which are not held by us as treasury shares.

We will cancel and destroy certificates in respect of purchased or acquired ordinary shares as soon as reasonably practicable following settlement of any purchase or acquisition of such ordinary shares.

Financial Effects

Our net tangible assets and the consolidated net tangible assets of our subsidiaries will be reduced by the purchase price of any ordinary shares purchased or acquired and cancelled or held as treasury shares. We do not anticipate that the purchase or acquisition of our ordinary shares in accordance with the Share Purchase Mandate would have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The financial effects on us and our group (including our subsidiaries) arising from purchases or acquisitions of ordinary shares which may be made pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate will depend on, among other things, whether the ordinary shares are purchased or acquired out of our profitsand/or capital, the number of ordinary shares purchased or acquired, the price paid for the ordinary shares and whether the ordinary shares purchased or acquired are held in treasury or cancelled.

As described in more detail above, our purchases or acquisitions of our ordinary shares may be made out of our profitsand/or our capital. Where the consideration paid by us for the purchase or acquisition of ordinary shares is made out of our profits, such consideration (excluding brokerage commission, goods and services tax and other related expenses) will correspondingly reduce the amount available for the distribution of cash dividends by us. Where the consideration that we pay for the purchase or acquisition of ordinary shares is made out of our capital, the amount available for the distribution of cash dividends by us will not be reduced. To date, we have not declared any cash dividends on our ordinary shares and have no current plans to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Rationale for the Share Purchase Mandate

We believe that a renewal of the Share Purchase Mandate at the 2009 annual general meeting will benefit our shareholders by providing our directors with appropriate flexibility to repurchase ordinary shares if the directors believe that such repurchases would be in the best interests of our shareholders. Our decision to repurchase our ordinary shares from time to time will depend on our continuing assessment of then-current market conditions, our need to use available cash to finance acquisitions and other strategic transactions, the level of our debt and the terms and availability of financing. The share repurchase program does not obligate the company to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice.

Take-Over Implications

If, as a result of our purchase or acquisition of our issued ordinary shares, a shareholder’s proportionate interest in the company’s voting capital increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of The Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers. If such increase results in a change of effective control, or, as a result of such increase, a shareholder or a group of shareholders acting in concert obtains or consolidates effective control of the company, such shareholder or group of shareholders acting in concert could become obliged to make a take-over offer for the company under Rule 14 of The Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers.

The circumstances under which shareholders (including directors or a group of shareholders acting together) will incur an obligation to make a take-over offer are set forth in Rule 14 of The Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers, Appendix 2. The effect of Appendix 2 is that, unless exempted, shareholders will incur an obligation to make a take-over offer under Rule 14 if, as a result of the company purchasing or acquiring our issued ordinary shares, the voting rights of such shareholders would increase to 30% or more, or if such shareholders hold between 30% and 50% of our voting rights, the voting rights of such shareholders would increase by more than 1% in any period of six months. Shareholders who are in doubt as to their obligations, if any, to make a mandatory take-over offer under The Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers as a result of any share purchase by us should consult the Securities Industry Council of Singaporeand/or their professional advisers at the earliest opportunity.

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the resolution
to approve the proposed renewal of the Share Purchase Mandate.

PROPOSAL NO. 6:
ORDINARY RESOLUTION TO APPROVE CHANGES TO THE CASH COMPENSATION PAYABLE TO OUR DIRECTORS AND ADDITIONAL CASH COMPENSATION FOR THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD

Under the Companies Act, we may only provide cash compensation to our directors for services rendered in their capacity as directors with the prior approval from the company’s shareholders at a general meeting. We believe that it is advisable and in the best interests of our shareholders for our shareholders to authorize the company to:


	•	Increase from $60,000 to $75,000 the annual cash compensation payable to each of Flextronics’s non-employee directors for services rendered as a director;

	•	Provide additional annual cash compensation of $100,000 to the non-employee Chairman of the Board of Directors of Flextronics for services rendered as Chairman of the Board in lieu of one-half of the annual share bonus award currently made to our Chairman of the Board; and

	•	Increase from $5,000 to $10,000 the annual cash compensation payable to each non-employee Directors of Flextronics who serves on the Compensation Committee (other than the Chairman of the Compensation Committee) for his or her participation on the committee.

We believe that this authorization will benefit our shareholders by enabling the company to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors of the company and to continue to provide leadership for the company with the goal of enhancing long-term value for our shareholders.

We are maintaining the additional cash compensation payable to the chairmen of the company’s current standing committees of our Board of Directors, the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and the additional cash compensation payable to the members of the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for their services on such committees, in each case as previously approved by our shareholders at our 2007 annual general meeting of shareholders.

For additional information about the compensation paid to our non-employee directors, including compensation paid for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, changes in the cash compensation made pursuant to this proposal, and equity compensation paid to our non-employee directors and our Chairman of the Board, please see the section entitled “Non-Management Directors’ Compensation for Fiscal Year 2009” on page 18.

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the resolution to approve
the changes to the cash compensation payable to our non-employee directors and additional cash
compensation for the Chairman of the Board.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

In this section, we discuss the material elements of our compensation programs and policies, including the objectives of our compensation programs and the reasons why we pay each element of our executives’ compensation. Following this discussion, you will find a series of tables containing more specific details about the compensation earned by, or awarded to the following individuals, whom we refer to as the named executive officers or NEOs. This discussion focuses on compensation and practices relating to the named executive officers for our 2009 fiscal year:


Name		Position

Michael M. McNamara		Chief Executive Officer
Paul Read		Chief Financial Officer (1)
Michael J. Clarke		President, Infrastructure
Sean P. Burke		President, Computing
Carrie L. Schiff		Senior Vice President and General Counsel
Thomas J. Smach		Former Chief Financial Officer (2)


(1)		Paul Read was appointed Chief Financial Officer effective June 30, 2008.

(2)		Thomas J. Smach resigned as Chief Financial Officer effective June 30, 2008.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (referred to in this discussion as the Committee) seeks to align our compensation philosophy and objectives with our business strategy. On an annual basis, the Committee conducts a comprehensive review of our overall compensation strategy and competitive positioning, and recommends to our Board the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and all other executive officers. The Committee also oversees management’s decisions concerning the compensation of other company officers, administers our equity compensation plans, and evaluates the effectiveness of our overall executive compensation programs.

Independent Consultants and Advisors

The Committee has the authority to retain and terminate any independent, third-party compensation consultants and to obtain advice and assistance from internal and external legal, accounting and other advisors. During our 2009 fiscal year, the Committee engaged Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (referred to in this discussion as F.W. Cook) as its independent adviser for certain executive compensation matters. F.W. Cook was retained by the Committee to provide an independent review of the company’s executive compensation programs, including an analysis of both the competitive market and the design of the programs. As part of its report to the Committee, F.W. Cook selected peer companies, and provided competitive compensation data, benchmarking and analysis relating to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and our other executives and senior officers. The Committee relied on input from F.W. Cook in evaluating management’s recommendations and arriving at the Committee’s recommendations to the Board with respect to the elements of compensation discussed below in this discussion and analysis. However, in December 2008, the Committee recommended and our Board approved modifications to our annual incentive bonus plan and additional equity grants for our employees, including our executives, and in March 2009, the Committee recommended and our Board approved additional equity grants for our Chief Executive Officer. The Committee and our Board took these additional actions in order to better align our annual incentive bonus plan with our business strategy and to retain and incentivize our employees, including our executives. These actions were not part of the more formal annual compensation review and, accordingly, were not based on input from F.W. Cook. For further discussion, please see below under “—Fiscal Year 2009 Executive Compensation—Summary of Fiscal Year 2009 Compensation Decisions,” “—Annual Incentive Bonus Plan—Modification of Performance Metrics During Fiscal 2009” and “—Stock-Based Compensation—Grants During Fiscal Year 2009.”

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

We believe that the quality, skills and dedication of our executive officers are critical factors affecting the company’s performance and shareholder value. Accordingly, the key objective of our compensation programs is to attract, retain and motivate superior executive talent while maintaining an appropriate cost structure. In addition, our compensation programs are designed to link a substantial component of our executives’ compensation to the achievement of performance goals that directly correlate to the enhancement of shareholder value. Finally, our compensation programs are designed to align our executives’ interests with those of our shareholders.

To accomplish these objectives, the Committee has structured our compensation programs to include the following key features and compensation elements:


	•	base salaries, which are competitive with peer group companies, allowing the company to attract and retain key executives;

	•	annual cash bonuses, which are earned only if pre-established performance goals related to the company and business unit (in the cases of business unit executives) are achieved;


	•	equity-based compensation, which aligns our executives’ interests with those of our shareholders and promotes executive retention;

	•	long-term cash bonuses and performance-based share bonus awards, which are earned only if pre-established performance goals related to the company and business unit (in the cases of business unit executives) are achieved; and

	•	deferred cash bonus awards, which are designed to promote executive retention, as these elements of compensation vest over a period of years only if the executive remains in the company’s active employment.

The Committee does not maintain policies for allocating among current and long-term compensation or among cash and non-cash compensation. Instead, the Committee maintains flexibility and adjusts different elements of compensation based upon its evaluation of the key compensation goals set forth above. However, as a general matter, the Committee seeks to allocate a substantial majority of the named executive officers’ compensation to components that are performance-based and at-risk.

While compensation levels may differ among NEOs based on competitive factors, and the role, responsibilities and performance of each specific NEO, there are no material differences in the compensation philosophies, objectives or policies for our NEOs. We do not maintain a policy regarding internal pay equity.

None of the named executive officers serves pursuant to an employment agreement, and each serves at the will of the company’s Board of Directors. Similarly, we generally do not enter into severance agreements with, nor have we established severance arrangements for, our executive officers as part of the terms of their employment. This enables our Board to remove an executive officer, if necessary, prior to retirement or resignation whenever it is in our best interests. When an executive officer retires, resigns or is terminated, our Board exercises its business judgment in approving an appropriate separation or severance arrangement in light of all relevant circumstances, including the individual’s term of employment, past accomplishments and reasons for separation from the company.

Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions

The Committee makes recommendations to our Board on all compensation actions relating to our executive officers. As part of its process, the Committee meets with our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to obtain recommendations with respect to the structure of our compensation programs, as well as an assessment of the performance of individual executives and recommendations on compensation for individual executives. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer meet with our Executive Vice President, Worldwide Human Resources and Management Systems and our Vice President, Global Compensation and Benefits to obtain additional input on these matters.

In connection with the formal compensation review process for fiscal year 2009, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer developed their recommendations based on the competitive data prepared by F.W. Cook. In addition, our Executive Vice President, Worldwide Human Resources and Management Systems and our Vice President, Global Compensation and Benefits relied on similar data prepared by Radford Consulting and Pearl Meyer & Partners, which were used to validate the data developed by F.W. Cook.

Competitive Positioning

To assist the Committee in arriving at its recommendations to our Board on the amounts and components of fiscal year 2009 compensation for our Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers, F.W. Cook prepared for the Committee’s review competitive compensation data as follows:


	•	to benchmark compensation for our CEO and CFO, F.W. Cook constructed a peer group consisting of 24 high-profile technology companies in the EMS (electronic manufacturing services), OEM (original equipment manufacturer) and distribution sectors, and compiled compensation data from such companies’ SEC filings; and


	•	to benchmark compensation for our other executives and senior officers, including our named executive officers (other than our CEO and CFO), F.W. Cook matched the executives and senior officers based on job title and responsibility to compensation data in a published compensation survey prepared by Radford Consulting covering technology companies with annual revenues greater than $8 billion. F.W. Cook used the Radford survey data for our other NEOs, rather than the peer group data, because the Radford survey data provided a better match based upon job title and responsibility.

F.W. Cook selected all of the companies included in the CEO/CFO peer group. The peer group consisted of the following companies:


Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.		Agilent Technologies, Inc.
Anixter International Inc.		Applied Materials, Inc.
Arrow Electronics, Inc.		Avnet, Inc.
Celestica Inc.		Cisco Systems, Inc.
Dell Inc.		Emerson Electric Co.
Hewlett-Packard Company		Honeywell International Inc.
Ingram Micro Inc.		Intel Corporation
Jabil Circuit, Inc.		Micron Technology, Inc.
Motorola, Inc.		Seagate Technology
Sun Microsystems, Inc.		Tech Data Corporation
Tyco International Ltd.		United Technologies Corporation
Western Digital Corporation		Xerox Corporation

The companies included in the Radford survey data used by F.W. Cook for their competitive analysis of our other executives and senior officers, including our NEOs (other than our CEO and CFO) are as follows:


Alcatel-Lucent		Amazon.com, Inc.
Apple Inc.		Applied Materials, Inc.
Arrow Electronics, Inc.		AT&T Inc.
Cisco Systems, Inc.		Comcast Corporation
Computer Sciences Corporation		Dell Inc.
The DIRECTV Group, Inc.		Eastman Kodak Company
Electronic Data Systems Corporation		EMC Corporation
General Dynamics Corporation		Google Inc.
Intel Corporation		Microsoft Corporation
Motorola, Inc.		Nokia Corporation
Nortel Networks Corporation		Oracle Corporation
QUALCOMM Incorporated		Qwest Communications International Inc.
Seagate Technology		Sprint Nextel Corporation
Sun Microsystems, Inc.		Texas Instruments Incorporated

For fiscal years 2008 and 2007, the Committee reviewed competitive data compiled by Pearl Meyer & Partners in determining CEO and CFO compensation. Pearl Meyer selected six companies in an industry peer group (one of which was Solectron Corporation, which we acquired in October 2007) and six companies in a high technology company peer group. Pearl Meyer also used data from a high technology company survey and an industry survey, both selected on the basis of revenue comparability.

For fiscal years 2008 and 2007, the Committee based its compensation recommendations for executives and senior officers, other than our CEO and CFO, on the nature and scope of these officers’ responsibilities and leadership roles in relation to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and on the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer. In these years, our Chief Executive Officer based his recommendations on competitive data compiled by Hay Group from executive compensation survey reports prepared by Hay Group and Radford Consulting.

The Committee believes that the competitive data compiled by F.W. Cook provides a more appropriate set of benchmarking data than the data used in previous years, given the company’s revenue growth and the consolidation in the EMS industry. Due to these changes, F.W. Cook determined that it was appropriate to select peer technology companies in businesses that compete for similar executive talent and with a range of financial metric and market capitalization comparability. The Committee also believes that the Radford survey data used by F.W. Cook provided benchmarking data that was consistent with the CEO/CFO peer group and a better data match for our other NEOs.

The Committee seeks to set total target direct compensation for the company’s executives at or above the 75^th percentile of that provided by peer companies. Total target direct compensation is the sum of base salary, target annual incentive compensation and target long-term incentive awards. The Committee also seeks to target each component of total target direct compensation at these levels. However, total target direct compensation, as well as individual components, may vary by executive based on the executive’s experience, level of responsibility and performance, as well as competitive market conditions. The compensation decisions discussed below under the section captioned “Fiscal Year 2009 Executive Compensation” reflect the Committee’s objective of generally targeting the 75^th percentile of peer company compensation. However, the compensation decisions made in December 2008 and March 2009, as summarized below under “Fiscal Year 2009 Executive Compensation—Summary of Fiscal Year 2009 Compensation Decisions” and as discussed more fully in the sections captioned “—Annual Incentive Bonus Plan—Modification of Performance Metrics During Fiscal 2009” and “—Stock-Based Compensation—Grants During Fiscal Year 2009” were taken in response to the global economic crisis in order to better align our annual incentive bonus plan with our business strategy and to retain and incentivize our employees, including our executives. Accordingly, these elements of compensation were not part of the more formal annual compensation review, including the benchmarking process.

Fiscal Year 2009 Executive Compensation

Summary of Fiscal Year 2009 Compensation Decisions

The Committee believes that management executed effectively on the company’s business strategy in the current economic environment and performed exceptionally well in managing the controllable aspects of our business. For our first two fiscal quarters, we had record revenues and adjusted operating profits (which in the second fiscal quarter excluded approximately $129 million in charges primarily for provisions for doubtful accounts receivable, the write-down of inventory and recognition of associated contractual obligations for financially distressed customers). Beginning with our third fiscal quarter and accelerating through our fourth fiscal quarter, the global economic crisis had a significant impact on our business, with almost every product category and every geographic region in which we operate experiencing a substantial reduction in customer demand. In response to the deteriorating economic environment, our Board upon the recommendation of the Committee modified certain elements of our fiscal 2009 compensation programs in order to better align our annual incentive bonus plan with our business strategy, and to assure retention of and to incentivize our employees, including our management team. To this end, we modified the performance metrics of our annual incentive bonus plan to focus our executives and senior officers on the following goals: controlling costs; improving internal efficiencies; reducing inventory levels; managing working capital; and generating cash flow. In addition, we made additional equity grants to our employees, including our executives and senior officers.

Our CEO’s base salary was not adjusted in fiscal 2009. In connection with the appointment of Mr. Read as our Chief Financial Officer, his base salary was adjusted to a level that was between the median and 75th percentile of our peer companies. Our three other NEOs’ base salaries were adjusted to levels approaching the 75th percentile of our peer companies, with the exception of Ms. Schiff, whose base salary remains below the median level. Annual incentive awards were 110.0% of target for Mr. McNamara; 117.14% of target for Mr. Read; 116.23% of target for Mr. Clarke; 77.15% of target for Mr. Burke; and 146.41% of target for Ms. Schiff. Aggregate cash compensation in the form of base salary and incentive bonuses paid to the NEOs (other than Mr. Smach) for fiscal year 2009 was lower than fiscal year 2008 by the following percentages: Mr. McNamara—46.57%; Mr. Read—0.85%; Mr. Clarke—16.62%;

Mr. Burke—19.20%; and Ms. Schiff—27.63%. Due to the equity awards made in December 2008 and March 2009 to address the impact of the global economic crisis on our compensation programs for our employees, including our executives, we do not believe that it is meaningful to compare fiscal 2009 total direct compensation levels with fiscal 2008 levels. However, given the substantial decline in our share price following the global economic crisis, the carried equity value of the NEOs’ equity in the company (comprised of unvested share bonus awards and the “in-the-money” value of options) declined substantially from fiscal year end 2008 to 2009. The deteriorating macroeconomic environment also impacted long-term cash and stock incentive awards made in fiscal year 2009, and we do not expect that these awards will vest or be paid. Based on company performance, the Committee believes that compensation levels and long-term award opportunities for fiscal year 2009 were appropriate and consistent with the philosophy and objectives of the company’s compensation programs.

In fiscal year 2009, the Committee also recommended and the Board approved a shift from the granting of share bonus awards and no options in fiscal year 2008 to granting both share bonus awards and options in fiscal year 2009, with a greater weighting to options. This shift was designed to create greater alignment of interests with shareholders and to reward the company’s employees for the successful integration of the Solectron acquisition.

Elements of Compensation

We allocate compensation among the following components for our named executive officers:


	•	base salary;

	•	annual cash incentive awards;

	•	multi-year cash and stock incentive awards;

	•	stock-based compensation;

	•	deferred compensation; and

	•	other benefits.

Base Salary

We seek to set our executives’ base salaries at levels which are competitive with our peer companies based on each individual executive’s role and the scope of his or her responsibilities, also taking into account the executive’s experience and the base salary levels of other executives within the company. The Committee typically reviews base salaries every fiscal year and adjusts base salaries to take into account competitive market data, individual performance and promotions or changes in responsibilities.

Mr. McNamara’s base salary was maintained at $1,250,000 based on the F.W. Cook peer company data which indicated that this level approximated the 75th percentile.

Prior to his appointment as Chief Financial Officer effective June 30, 2008, Mr. Read served as Executive Vice President of Finance for Worldwide Operations. As part of the Committee’s annual review of base salaries, the Committee recommended and the Board approved an increase in Mr. Read’s base salary from $400,000 to $475,000. This increase was made to approximate the 75th percentile of the Radford survey data for the second most senior finance executive, after applying a premium of 10% to take into account that Mr. Read reported directly to the CEO. On May 14, 2008, Mr. Read was appointed Chief Financial Officer effective June 30, 2008. In recognition of Mr. Read’s appointment, Mr. Read’s base salary was increased to $600,000 effective May 15, 2008 and was set at between the median and 75th percentile of the peer company data for his position.

Base salary levels for the other named executive officers (other than Mr. Smach) were increased as follows: Mr. Clarke’s base salary was increased from $490,000 to $550,000 (paid in Canadian dollars), in order to pay a level of base salary closer to the 75th percentile; Mr. Burke’s base salary was increased from $375,000 to $450,000, also to pay a level of base salary closer to the 75th percentile; and Ms. Schiff’s base

salary was increased from $350,000 to $425,000, which represented the largest percentage increase for our named executive officers other than Mr. Read, but reflected a level below the median of the peer company data.

Annual Incentive Bonus Plan

Through our annual incentive bonus plan, we seek to provide pay for performance by linking incentive awards to company and business unit performance.

Key features of the bonus plan in fiscal 2009 were as follows:


	•	performance targets were based on key company and business unit financial metrics

	•	performance targets were measured on a quarterly basis in the cases of the first two fiscal quarters and a quarterlyand/or six month basis in the cases of the third and fourth fiscal quarters

	•	the financial goals varied based on each executive’s responsibilities, with a substantial weighting on business unit financial metrics for business unit executives

	•	certain performance measures were calculated on a non-GAAP basis and excluded after-tax intangible amortization, stock-based compensation expense, gains and losses from divestitures, and certain restructuring and other charges, subject to approval by the Committee. We excluded these items in order to arrive at more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of our ongoing operating results

	•	bonuses were based entirely on achievement of financial performance objectives; there is no individual performance component

	•	each executive’s target bonus was set at a percentage of base salary, based on the level of the executive’s responsibilities


	›	the CEO’s target bonus was set at 150% of base salary and the CFO’s target bonus was set at 100% of base salary

	›	for executives other than the CEO and CFO, the target bonus was set at a range of between 60% and 80% of base salary


	•	payout opportunities for each bonus component ranged from 50% of target to a maximum of 300% of target (200% in the cases of the CEO and CFO)

	•	for the third and fourth fiscal quarters, the plan provided a minimum payout of 50% of target for certain company financial metrics

The Committee recommended and our Board approved different performance metrics for our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as compared with other executives, and different performance metrics for corporate officers as compared with business unit executives. In addition, we varied the weightings for certain performance metrics among different executives, in order to better align individual awards with our business strategy. For example, we placed a greater emphasis on revenue growth for our Computing sector than for our Infrastructure sector, but placed a greater emphasis on profit after interest growth for our Infrastructure sector than for our Computing sector.

Modification of Performance Metrics during Fiscal 2009

We modified the performance metrics used in our annual incentive plan on December 1, 2008 as a result of the deteriorating macroeconomic conditions and its effects on the company’s performance. The

performance metrics initially approved and which remained in effect for the first two fiscal quarters were as follows:


	•	for our CEO and CFO, bonuses were based on achievement of year-over-year quarterly EPS growth; however, in Mr. Read’s case, his bonus for the first quarter was based on the metrics that applied to his former position as Executive Vice President of Finance for Worldwide Operations, which were achievement of year-over-year quarterly EPS growth, revenue growth and profit after interest growth;

	•	Mr. Clarke’s bonus was based on achievement of year-over-year quarterly EPS growth, and revenue growth and profit after interest growth at his business unit (Infrastructure);

	•	Mr. Burke’s bonus was based on achievement of year-over-year quarterly EPS growth, and revenue growth and profit after interest growth at his business unit (Computing); and

	•	Ms. Schiff’s bonus was based on achievement of year-over-year quarterly EPS growth, revenue growth, profit after interest growth, and SG&A reduction.

On December 1, 2008, the Committee recommended and our Board approved modifications to the performance metrics for the third and fourth fiscal quarters, as follows:


	•	for our CEO and CFO, bonuses were based on achievement of quarterly EPS and inventory reduction targets and six-month free cash flow targets (which we refer to as the “company metric”);

	•	Mr. Clarke’s bonus was based on achievement of the company metric and revenue growth and profit after interest growth at his business unit (Infrastructure);

	•	Mr. Burke’s bonus was based on achievement of the company metric and revenue growth and profit after interest growth at his business unit (Computing); and

	•	Ms. Schiff’s bonus was based on achievement of the company metric and SG&A-reduction targets.

Under the modified plan, Messrs. Clarke and Burke also were eligible for an additional bonus of up to 10% and 8.75% of their respective annual base salaries for each of the third and fourth fiscal quarters based upon achievement of inventory reduction targets at their business units. The modified plan also provided for a minimum payout for the third and fourth fiscal quarters of 50% of the target company metric.

Prior to the plan modifications, the plan allocated 50% of the bonus opportunity to annual targets and 50% to achievement of quarterly targets. As part of the modification, the annual targets were eliminated so that 100% of the bonus opportunity was allocated to the achievement of quarterly performance targets (other than with respect to the six-month free cash flow target discussed above).

With the deteriorating macroeconomic environment accelerating in our third fiscal quarter, we increased our business focus on controlling costs and managing our working capital to improve cash flow. As a result of this shift in our business focus, and projected decreases in revenue, the Committee recommended and our Board approved the above-described modifications in the annual incentive plan performance metrics for our third and fourth fiscal quarters. We believe that these changes were appropriately designed to motivate our executives to execute the operational strategies necessitated by the unprecedented economic environment.

Annual Incentive Awards for the CEO and CFO

Mr. McNamara was eligible for a bonus award based on year-over-year quarterly EPS growth in the first and second fiscal quarters, and achievement of quarterly EPS and inventory reduction targets and six-month free cash flow targets for the third and fourth fiscal quarters. Mr. McNamara’s annual target bonus was 150% of base salary.

For the first fiscal quarter, Mr. Read was eligible for a bonus award based on year-over-year quarterly EPS growth, revenue growth and profit after interest growth. Mr. Read’s target bonus for the first fiscal

quarter was based on an annual target of 70% of base salary. For the second through fourth fiscal quarters, Mr. Read’s bonus eligibility was based on the same performance measures as Mr. McNamara. Mr. Read’s target bonus for the second through fourth fiscal quarters was based on an annual target of 100% of base salary.

The following table sets forth the payout level opportunities that were available for Messrs. McNamara and Read as a percentage of their target awards for the first and second fiscal quarters (second quarter only in the case of Mr. Read) based on different levels of performance. The quarterly target bonus was 37.5% of base salary for Mr. McNamara and 25.0% of base salary for Mr. Read. For performance levels between the levels presented in the table below, straight line interpolation was used to arrive at the payout level:

Annual Incentive Bonus Payout Levels (Q1 and Q2)


Payout (% Target)	50%	75%	100%	150%	200% (1)
Adjusted EPS Growth	10.0%	12.5%	15.0%	18.8%	22.5%


(1)		The plan also provided for a maximum payout of 200% if 18% adjusted EPS growth was achieved and the average closing share price of the company’s ordinary shares for the month of March 2009 was at least $12.50.

Mr. Read’s payout level opportunities as a percentage of the target award for each performance measure for the first fiscal quarter based on different levels of performance are set forth below. Mr. Read’s quarterly target bonus was 17.5% of base salary, with a weighting of 20% for the EPS growth metric, 40% for the revenue growth metric and 40% for the profit after interest growth metric. For performance levels between the levels presented in the table below, straight line interpolation was used to arrive at the payout level:


Adjusted EPS Growth		Revenue Growth		Profit After Interest (PAI) Growth
EPS Growth	Payout	Revenue Growth	Payout	PAI Growth	Payout

10.0% growth	50% payout	8.0% growth	50% payout	10.0% growth	50% payout

For the inventory reduction metric, the incentive plan allowed for recoupment of bonus opportunities based on aggregate third and fourth quarter performance.

The adjusted EPS growth performance metric (and in Mr. Read’s case, the profit after interest performance metric for the first fiscal quarter) applicable for the first two fiscal quarters and the adjusted EPS and cash flow targets applicable for the third and fourth fiscal quarters were calculated on an adjusted basis to exclude after-tax intangible amortization, stock-based compensation expense, gains and losses from divestitures, and certain restructuring and other charges, subject to approval by the Committee.

The following table sets forth the actual quarterly and total payout levels, both as a percentage of target and of base salary, for Messrs. McNamara and Read:


	Payout	CEO	CFO
Period	(% Target)	Actual Payout % (as a % of Base Salary)	Actual Payout % (as a % of Base Salary)

Q1	200%	75.0%	49.175% (1)
Q2	0%	0%	0%
Q3	80%	30.0%	20.0%
Q4	160%	60.0%	40.0%
Total		165.0%	109.175%


(1)		For the first fiscal quarter, Mr. Read’s bonus was calculated as described above under “—Annual Incentive Bonus Payout Levels (Q1 and Q2).” Based on achievement of performance measures, Mr. Read’s first quarter payout as a percent of target was 281%. Based on the quarterly target bonus of 17.5% of base salary, this yielded a payout of 49.175% of his base salary for his first quarter bonus, which was applied to his base salary as in effect at the end of the first quarter.

First quarter year-over-year adjusted EPS growth exceeded the maximum performance level, resulting in a payout of 200% of target. Second quarter year-over-year adjusted EPS growth was a negative 50% (without making adjustment for charges of $129 million primarily relating to financially distressed customers), resulting in no payout. For the third quarter, the threshold adjusted EPS target was not achieved, but inventory reduction was achieved at a 200% payout level. For the fourth quarter, the threshold adjusted EPS target was not achieved and inventory reduction was achieved at a 200% payout level. For the fourth quarter, free cash flow was achieved at a 200% payout level. On an aggregate basis, bonus payouts were 110% of target for Mr. McNamara and 117.14% of target for Mr. Read.

Annual Incentive Awards for NEOs other than the CEO and CFO

For the first two fiscal quarters, Messrs. Clarke and Burke were eligible for bonus awards based on year-over-year EPS growth and year-over-year revenue and profit after interest growth at their respective business units. Mr. Clarke’s annual target bonus was 80% of base salary and Mr. Burke’s annual target bonus was 70% of base salary. Actual payout level opportunities ranged from 50% to 300% of target. The weightings of the performance metrics for Mr. Clarke were 20% for EPS growth, 25% for business unit revenue growth and 55% for business unit profit after interest growth. Business unit profit after interest was calculated on an adjusted non-GAAP basis to exclude after-tax intangible amortization, stock-based compensation expense, gains and losses from divestitures, and certain restructuring and other charges, and to include a 12% cost of capital charge based on the average three month working capital balances. The weightings of the performance metrics for Mr. Burke were 20% for EPS growth, 40% for business unit revenue growth and 40% for business unit profit after interest growth. We treat the business unit profit after interest performance measure as confidential. We set these measures at levels designed to motivate Messrs. Clarke and Burke to achieve operating results at their respective business units in alignment with our business strategy with payout opportunities at levels of difficulty consistent with the corresponding corporate level metric.

For the first two fiscal quarters, Ms. Schiff was eligible for a bonus award based on year-over-year EPS growth, revenue growth, profit after interest growth and SG&A reduction, all calculated at the corporate level. Ms. Schiff’s annual target bonus was 60% of base salary. Actual payout levels ranged from 50% to

300% of target. The weightings of the performance metrics for Ms. Schiff were 20% for EPS growth, 30% for revenue growth, 30% for profit after interest growth and 20% for SG&A reduction. The SG&A reduction measure was calculated on an adjusted, non-GAAP basis consistent with the basis utilized for other non-GAAP measures.

For the third and fourth fiscal quarters, Messrs. Clarke’s and Burke’s bonus eligibility was modified to replace the EPS growth metric with the company metric (the same metric used for Messrs. McNamara and Read). Actual payout level opportunities were modified slightly to cap the payout opportunity for the company metric at 200% versus a maximum payout opportunity of 300% for the EPS growth metric that applied in the first two fiscal quarters. In addition, Messrs. Clarke and Burke also were eligible for an additional bonus of up to 10% and 8.75% of their respective annual base salaries for each of the third and fourth fiscal quarters based upon achievement of inventory reduction targets at their business units. We treat the business unit inventory reduction measure as confidential. We set these measures at levels designed to motivate Messrs. Clarke and Burke to achieve inventory reduction levels at their respective business units in alignment with our business strategy with payout opportunities at levels of difficulty consistent with the corresponding corporate level metric.

For the third and fourth fiscal quarters, Ms. Schiff was eligible for a bonus award based on achievement of quarterly EPS, inventory reduction, and SG&A reduction targets and six-month free cash flow targets. Actual payout level opportunities were modified slightly to cap the payout opportunity for all of the metrics, other than SG&A reduction, to 200% versus a maximum payout opportunity of 300% that applied in the first two fiscal quarters. The weightings of the performance metrics for Ms. Schiff were 25% for each metric.

The following table sets forth the payout level opportunities that were available for Messrs. Clarke and Burke as a percentage of the target award for EPS growth (calculated at the corporate level) and revenue growth (calculated at the business unit level) for the first and second fiscal quarters based on different levels of performance. The quarterly target bonus was 20.0% of base salary for Mr. Clarke and 17.5% of base salary for Mr. Burke. For performance levels between the levels presented in the table below, straight line interpolation was used to arrive at the payout level:


EPS Growth (1)		Revenue Growth
EPS Growth	Payout	Revenue Growth	Payout

10.0% growth	50% payout	8.0% growth	50% payout
15.0% growth	100% payout	10.0% growth	100% payout
18.8% growth	150% payout	12.5% growth	150% payout
22.5% growth	200% payout	15.0% growth	200% payout
26.3% growth	250% payout	20.0% growth	250% payout
30.0% growth	300% payout	25.0% growth	300% payout


(1)		As discussed above, for the third and fourth fiscal quarters, the EPS Growth metric was replaced with the company metric and the maximum payout level for the company metric was 200%. In addition, Messrs. Clarke and Burke were eligible for additional bonuses based on inventory reduction at their business units in the third and fourth fiscal quarters.

The weightings given to the performance metrics for Messrs. Clarke and Burke were as follows:


		Business Unit Revenue	Business Unit Profit After
	EPS Growth	Growth	Interest Growth

Mr. Clarke	20%	25%	55%
Mr. Burke	20%	40%	40%

Ms. Schiff’s payout level opportunities as a percentage of the target award for each performance measure for the first and second fiscal quarters based on different levels of performance are set forth below. Ms. Schiff’s quarterly target bonus was 15.0% of base salary, with a weighting of 20% for the EPS growth metric, 30% for the revenue growth metric, 30% for the profit after interest growth metric, and 20% for the

SG&A reduction metric. For performance levels between the levels presented in the table below, straight line interpolation was used to arrive at the payout level:

Long-Term Incentive Programs

Three-Year Performance Plan (fiscal 2007 through fiscal 2009)

In fiscal year 2007, the Committee recommended and the Board approved a three-year cash incentive bonus plan. The three-year performance plan was designed to reward the named executive officers and certain other senior officers based upon the achievement by the company of a three-year compounded annual revenue

growth rate and a three-year compounded annual EPS growth rate, provided that the individual receiving the bonus continued to remain employed by the company. Under this plan, each of the named executive officers (other than Mr. Smach, who retired effective June 30, 2008) was eligible for a bonus of up to $1,000,000 following the close of the 2009 fiscal year if certain pre-established targets were achieved. For purposes of determining achievement of these targets, the plan used non-GAAP measures on the basis discussed above under “—Annual Incentive Bonus Plan.” The Board established the three-year cash incentive bonus plan to focus senior management on achievement of sustained EPS and revenue growth at levels which would have resulted in payment of the $1,000,000 maximum bonus only if the company performed significantly better than internal targets, with a lesser bonus opportunity if the company achieved its internal targets. The three-year bonus plan provided for a bonus of $1,000,000 if the company achieved both a three-year compounded annual revenue growth rate of at least 15% and a three-year compounded annual EPS growth rate of at least 20%, and also provided for a bonus of $750,000 if the company achieved both a three-year compounded annual revenue growth rate of at least 10% and a three-year compounded annual EPS growth rate of at least 15%. No bonus would be awarded if the company failed to achieve the target performance level required for the lesser bonus. Although the company achieved a three-year compounded annual revenue growth rate of 26.5%, the company’s three-year compounded annual EPS growth rate was 2.4%. Accordingly, no bonuses were awarded under this plan.

Three-Year Performance Plan (fiscal 2009 through fiscal 2011)

In fiscal year 2009, the Committee recommended and the Board approved a three-year incentive bonus plan. The three-year performance plan is designed to reward the named executive officers and certain other senior officers based upon the achievement by the company of three-year compounded annual EPS growth rates, provided that the individual receiving the bonus remains employed by us at the time the bonus is paid. Under this plan, maximum cash bonuses that may be earned based on performance are as follows: Mr. McNamara—$4,000,000; Mr. Read—$1,250,000; Mr. Clarke—$625,000; Mr. Burke—$625,000; and Ms. Schiff—$500,000. For purposes of determining achievement of performance levels, the plan uses non-GAAP measures on the basis discussed above under “—Annual Incentive Bonus Plan.” The Board established the three-year cash incentive bonus plan to focus senior management on achievement of sustained EPS growth at levels which result in payment of the maximum bonus only if the company performs significantly better than internal targets, with a lesser bonus opportunity if the company achieves its internal targets. If the company fails to achieve the threshold performance level, no bonus will be awarded. As a result of the dramatically deteriorating macroeconomic climate, which has slowed demand for our customers’ products, and the resulting decrease in our expected operating results, management of the company believes that achievement of the performance measures for the three-year performance plan is no longer probable and these bonuses are not expected to be paid.

For additional information about the three-year incentive bonus plan, please refer to the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2009 table, which shows the threshold, target and maximum amounts payable under the plan.

As discussed under “Competitive Positioning,” the Committee and the Board seek to set total target direct compensation at the 75th percentile of our peer companies, subject to individual variances. In structuring the three-year incentive bonus plan, the Committee and the Board assigned a value to the awards equal to one-third of the threshold payout level for purposes of competitive benchmarking.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Options and Share Bonus Awards

The Committee grants stock options and share bonus awards (the equivalent of restricted stock units), which are designed to align the interests of the named executive officers with those of our shareholders and provide each individual with a significant incentive to manage the company from the perspective of an owner, with an equity stake in the business. These awards are also intended to promote executive retention, as unvested stock options and share bonus awards generally are forfeited if the executive voluntarily leaves the

company. Each stock option allows the executive officer to acquire our ordinary shares at a fixed price per share (the market price on the grant date) over a period of seven to ten years, thus providing a return to the officer only if the market price of the shares appreciates over the option term. Share bonus awards are structured as either service-based awards, which vest if the executive remains employed through the vesting period, or performance-based awards, which vest only if pre-established performance measures are achieved. Before the share bonus award vests, the executive has no ownership rights in our ordinary shares.

The size of the option grant or share bonus award to each executive officer generally is set at a level that is intended to create a meaningful opportunity for share ownership based upon the individual’s current position with the company, but the Committee and Board also take into account (i) the individual’s potential for future responsibility and promotion over the term of the award, (ii) the individual’s performance in recent periods, and (iii) the number of options and share bonus awards held by the individual at the time of grant. In addition, the Committee and Board consider competitive equity award data, and determine award size consistent with the Committee’s and our Board’s objective of setting long-term incentive compensation at the 75th percentile of our peer companies, subject to individual variances.

As part of the annual compensation review process, the Committee recommended and the Board approved a shift from the granting of share bonus awards and no options in fiscal year 2008 to granting both share bonus awards and options in fiscal year 2009, with a greater weighting to options. This shift was designed to create greater alignment of interests with shareholders and to reward the company’s employees for the successful integration of the Solectron acquisition. The equity grant strategy in fiscal year 2008 had been focused on retention of senior management by awarding share bonus awards with three-and four-year vesting schedules, with the vesting of 50% of the share bonus awards contingent upon achievement of certain performance measures. The Committee and Board also determined to limit option grants to seven-year terms to reduce the compensation expense and long-term overhang.

Administration of Equity Award Grants

The Committee grants options with exercise prices set at the market price on the date of grant, based on the closing market price. Our current policy is that options and share bonus awards granted to executive officers are only made during open trading windows. Awards are not timed in relation to the release of material information. Our current policy provides that grants to non-executive new hires and follow on grants to non-executives are made on pre-determined dates in each fiscal quarter.

Grants During Fiscal Year 2009

The number of stock options and share bonus awards granted to the named executive officers in fiscal year 2009, and the grant-date fair value of these awards determined in accordance with SFAS 123(R), are shown in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2009 table.

As part of the annual compensation review process, the Committee recommended and the Board approved the following options grants for our named executive officers: Mr. McNamara—4 million options; Mr. Read—1.4 million options; Mr. Clarke—600,000 options; Mr. Burke—400,000 options; and Ms. Schiff—300,000 options. The options have seven-year terms and vest 25% on the first anniversary of the grant and in 36 monthly installments thereafter. One-half of the options granted to Mr. McNamara and Mr. Read provide that the options may not be exercised unless the market price of the company’s shares at the time of exercise is at least $12.50.

The Committee also recommended and the Board approved performance-based share bonus awards based on the same performance measures as under the three-year performance plan discussed under “—Long-Term Incentive Programs—Three-Year Performance Plan (fiscal 2009 through fiscal 2011).” Under these awards, the maximum number of shares that the named executive officers may earn based on performance is as follows: Mr. McNamara—500,000 shares; Mr. Read—200,000 shares; Mr. Clarke—90,000 shares; Mr. Burke—90,000 shares; and Ms. Schiff—60,000 shares. If the company fails to achieve the threshold performance level, no shares will vest. As a result of the dramatically deteriorating macroeconomic climate, which has slowed demand for our customers’ products, and the resulting decrease in our expected operating

results, management of the company believes that achievement of the performance measures for the three-year performance plan is no longer probable and these share bonus awards are not expected to vest.

Mr. Burke also received a special share bonus award for 50,000 shares which will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date if Mr. Burke continues to remain an employee.

As discussed under “Competitive Positioning,” the Committee and the Board seek to set total target direct compensation at the 75th percentile of our peer companies, subject to individual variances. In structuring the annual awards of options and share bonus awards, for purposes of competitive benchmarking, the Committee and the Board assigned a value to the performance-based share bonus awards equal to one-third of the threshold payout level. In addition, the Committee and the Board considered the CEO and CFO option grants as two-year awards and therefore considered the value of one-half of such grants for competitive benchmarking purposes.

In December 2008 and March 2009, the Committee recommended and the Board approved additional equity grants. These grants were made in response to the global economic crisis in order to retain and incentivize our employees, including our executives. Option grants made to the named executive officers in December 2008 were as follows: Mr. McNamara—2 million options; Mr. Read—2 million options; Mr. Clarke—600,000 options; Mr. Burke—400,000 options; and Ms. Schiff—300,000 options. These options have seven-year terms and vest 25% on June 2, 2009 and 25% annually thereafter. In March 2009, the Committee recommended and the Board approved an additional option grant to Mr. McNamara for 2,000,000 shares and a service-based share bonus award for 500,000 shares. The options vest 25% on June 2, 2009 and 25% annually thereafter, and the share bonus award vests in three equal annual installments beginning March 2, 2010. In making these grants to the named executive officers, the Committee and the Board considered the impact of the company’s share price on the carried interest value of the executives’ equity holdings (including the effects of the global economy on the attainability of outstanding performance-based awards) and the desirability of making additional equity awards to provide for adequate retention.

For purposes of determining achievement of performance targets for performance-based share bonus awards, the Committee uses non-GAAP measures on the basis discussed above under “—Annual Incentive Bonus Plan.”

Deferred Compensation

Each of the named executive officers participates in a deferred compensation plan or arrangement. These plans and arrangements are intended to promote retention by providing a long-term savings opportunity on a tax-efficient basis. Mr. McNamara participates in the company’s senior executive deferred compensation plan (referred to as the senior executive plan). Following his appointment as Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Read also became a participant in the senior executive plan effective January 1, 2009. Mr. Read participated in the company’s senior management deferred compensation plan (referred to as the senior management plan) prior to his appointment as Chief Financial Officer. Messrs. Clarke and Burke and Ms. Schiff participate in the senior management plan. As discussed below, we have made deferred long-term incentive bonuses so that a significant component of the named executive officers’ compensation serves a retentive purpose, as the bonuses only will vest if the executive remains in the company’s active employment. In structuring the executive deferred compensation arrangements, the Committee and the Board also sought to provide an additional long-term savings plan for the executives in recognition that we do not otherwise provide these executives with a pension plan or any supplemental executive retirement benefits.

Deferred Compensation for Messrs. McNamara and Read. Under the senior executive plan, a participant may defer up to 50% of his salary and up to 100% of his cash bonuses. In addition, at the Committee’s and the Board’s discretion, awards for deferred long-term incentive bonuses may be awarded in return for services to be performed in the future. During fiscal year 2006, the Committee recommended and the Board approved a deferred bonus for Mr. McNamara of $5,000,000. The deferred bonus (together with earnings) for Mr. McNamara vests as follows: (i) 10% vested on April 1, 2006; (ii) 15% vested on April 1, 2007; (iii) 20% vested on April 1, 2008; (iv) 25% vested on April 1, 2009; and (v) 30% will vest on April 1, 2010.

During fiscal year 2009, in recognition of his appointment as Chief Financial Officer, the Committee recommended and the Board approved an initial one-time funding payment of $2,000,000 for Mr. Read in the senior executive plan.

Other than in cases of death or disability or a change of control, any unvested amounts will be forfeited if the executive’s employment is terminated, unless otherwise provided in a separation agreement. With respect to Mr. Read’s senior management plan account, 100% will become vested in the case of his death and a percentage of the unvested portion of Mr. Read’s senior management account will become vested in the event of a change of control (as defined in the senior management plan), in an amount equal to the number of months from July 1, 2005 through July 1, 2014, divided by 108. Any portion of his senior management plan account that remains unvested after a change of control shall continue to vest in accordance with the original vesting schedule.

Deferred Compensation for Mr. Clarke. During fiscal year 2008, the Committee recommended and the Board approved an initial one-time funding payment of $366,355 for Mr. Clarke in the senior management plan. Beginning with fiscal year 2009, Mr. Clarke received and may continue to receive a contribution equal to 15% of his base salary. The percentage of deferred compensation for Mr. Clarke has been revised to reflect his participation in the company’s Canadian defined contribution pension program as well as other benefits provided to him as part of his expatriate assignment package.

These contributions (together with earnings) will vest as follows: (i) one-third will vest on July 1, 2015; (ii) one-half of the remaining balance will vest on July 1, 2016; and (iii) the remaining balance will vest on July 1, 2017.

Deferred Compensation for Ms. Schiff. Beginning with 2005, Ms. Schiff has received and may continue to receive a contribution equal to 30% of her base salary under the senior management plan. In addition, during fiscal year 2007, the Committee recommended and the Board approved a special discretionary deferred bonus for Ms. Schiff of $250,000. During fiscal year 2009, the Committee recommended and the Board approved a contribution for Ms. Schiff of $127,500 (equal to 30% of her base salary).

Any unvested portions of the deferral accounts of Messrs. Clarke and Burke and Ms. Schiff will become 100% vested if their employment is terminated as a result of his or her death. In the event of a change of control (as defined in the senior management plan), a portion of the deferral account will vest,

calculated as a percentage equal to the number of months of service from November 10, 2006 to July 1, 2017, divided by 128 for Mr. Burke, the number of service months from July 1, 2007 to July 1, 2014, divided by 84 for Mr. Clarke, and the number of months from July 1, 2005 to July 1, 2014, divided by 144 for Ms. Schiff.

Other than in cases of death or a change of control, any unvested amounts will be forfeited if the executive’s employment is terminated, unless otherwise provided in a separation agreement.

Deferred Compensation for Mr. Smach. Prior to this resignation, Mr. Smach was a participant in the senior executive plan. During fiscal year 2006, the Committee recommended and the Board approved a deferred bonus for Mr. Smach of $3,000,000. The deferred bonus (together with earnings) for Mr. Smach originally was scheduled to vest as follows: (i) 10% vested on April 1, 2006; (ii) 15% vested on April 1, 2007; (iii) 20% vested on April 1, 2008; (iv) an additional 25% was to vest on April 1, 2009; and (v) an additional 30% was to vest on April 1, 2010. As discussed below under “—Thomas J. Smach Separation Agreement,” $841,353 of Mr. Smach’s deferral account was accelerated to vest on June 30, 2008 and $1 million of his deferral account (together with earnings) will vest on December 31, 2009, subject to compliance with the terms of his separation agreement.

For additional information about (i) executive contributions to the named executive officers’ deferral accounts, (ii) company contributions to the deferral accounts, (iii) earnings on the deferral accounts, and (iv) deferral account balances as of the end of fiscal year 2009, see the section entitled “Executive Compensation—Nonqualified Deferred Compensation in Fiscal Year 2009.” The deferral accounts are unfunded and unsecured obligations of the company, receive no preferential standing, and are subject to the same risks as any of the company’s other general obligations.

Benefits

Executive Perquisites

Perquisites represent a small part of the overall compensation program for the named executive officers. In fiscal year 2009, we paid the premiums on long-term disability insurance for all NEOs (other than Mr. Clarke), provided tax preparation assistance to Mr. Read and reimbursed Mr. Clarke for relocation costs associated with his international assignment. In addition, we reimbursed Mr. McNamara for taxes due upon vesting of a portion of his deferred bonuses. These and certain other benefits are quantified under the “All Other Compensation” column in the Summary Compensation Table.

While company aircraft are generally used for company business only, certain executives, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and their spouses and guests may be permitted to use company aircraft for personal travel. We calculate the incremental cost to the company for use of the company aircraft by using an hourly rate for each flight hour. The hourly rate is based on the variable operational costs of each flight, including fuel, maintenance, flight crew travel expense, catering, communications and fees, including flight planning, ground handling and landing permits. To the extent any travel on company aircraft resulted in imputed income to the executive officer in fiscal year 2009, the company providedgross-up payments to cover the executive officer’s personal income tax due on such imputed income. These benefits are quantified under the “All Other Compensation” column in the Summary Compensation Table.

401(k) Plan; Canada Defined Contribution Pension Plan

Under our 401(k) Plan, all of our employees are eligible to receive matching contributions. The matching contribution for fiscal year 2009 was dollar for dollar on the first 3% of each participant’s pre-tax contributions, plus $0.50 for each dollar on the next 2% of each participant’s pre-tax contributions, subject to maximum limits under the Internal Revenue Code. We do not provide an excess 401(k) plan for our executive officers. Messrs. McNamara, Read and Burke and Ms. Schiff participate in the program.

In response to the global economic downturn we reviewed all employee-related expenses and explored ways to control these expenses. Effective March 15, 2009, the company suspended the matching pre-tax 401(k) contributions made to the 401(k) Plan for all employees classified by the company as salaried (exempt) employees. The match was not suspended for employees participating in the plan who are classified by the company as hourly (non-exempt) employees. The matches for Messrs. McNamara, Read and Burke and Ms. Schiff were suspended as a result of this action.

Mr. Clarke participates in the company’s Canadian Defined Contribution pension plan. The Canadian plan is made up of three components, as follows: (i) the Defined Contribution (DC) Pension Plan, where Flextronics makes monthly contributions equal to 2% of an employee’s earnings; (ii) a Group Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP)/After Tax Savings Vehicle (ATSV), where employees can make optional contributions to a Group RRSP/ATSV; and (iii) a Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (DPSP), where Flextronics will match any contributions made to the Group RRSP/ATSV. The company will match 50% of the first 6% of the earnings contributed by an employee.

Other Benefits

Executive officers are eligible to participate in all of the company’s employee benefit plans, such as medical, dental, vision, group life, disability, and accidental death and dismemberment insurance, in each case on the same basis as other employees, subject to applicable law.

Termination and Change of Control Arrangements

The named executive officers are entitled to certain termination and change of control benefits under their deferred compensation plans and under certain of their equity awards. These benefits are described and quantified under the section entitled“Executive Compensation—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control.”As described in that section, if there is a change of control of the company, the entire unvested portion of the deferred compensation accounts of Mr. McNamara and Mr. Read under the senior executive plan will accelerate, and a percentage of the unvested portion of Messrs. Read’s, Clarke’s and Burke’s and Ms. Schiff’s deferred compensation accounts under the senior management plan will accelerate based on their respective periods of service. The vesting of Mr. Smach’s deferral accounts was governed by his separation agreement, which is discussed in the section entitled“—Thomas J. Smach Separation Agreement”below. Under the terms of certain of our equity incentive plans and the form of share bonus award agreement used for certain of our grants of share bonus awards to our employees (including our executives), in the event of a change of control, each outstanding stock option and each unvested share bonus award with such a provision shall automatically accelerate, provided that vesting shall not so accelerate if, and to the extent, such award is either to be assumed or replaced. In addition, certain of Mr. McNamara’s options are subject to acceleration if there is a change of control and his employment is terminated or his duties are substantially changed. These arrangements are intended to attract and retain qualified executives who could have other job alternatives that might offer greater security absent these arrangements. The Committee determined that a single trigger for acceleration of the executives’ deferred compensation accounts was appropriate in order to provide certainty of vesting for benefits that represent the executives’ primary source of retirement benefits. With respect to the acceleration provisions under the company’s stock incentive plans, the Committee believes that these provisions provide our Board with appropriate flexibility to address the treatment of options and share bonus awards in a merger or similar transaction that is approved by our Board, while providing appropriate protections to our executives and other employees in transactions which are not approved by our Board. With respect to certain of Mr. McNamara’s options, the acceleration of vesting of options only occurs if Mr. McNamara remains with the company through the change of control and is terminated or his duties are substantially changed, commonly referred to as a “double trigger.”

Thomas J. Smach Separation Agreement

Thomas J. Smach terminated his employment effective June 30, 2008. Under the terms of Mr. Smach’s separation agreement, Mr. Smach received his quarterly bonus for the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2009, without reduction of the 50% annual holdback, and was no longer eligible for any additional annual or

long-term cash incentive bonuses. He also received a severance payment of $700,000, which amount was grossed up for income taxes. In addition, the vesting of $841,353 of Mr. Smach’s deferred compensation account was accelerated and vested on June 30, 2008, while the remaining unvested balance of $1 million of the deferral account (together with earnings) will vest on December 31, 2009, subject to Mr. Smach’s compliance with certain non-solicitation and non-competition covenants. The separation agreement also provided for accelerated vesting of an aggregate of 216,666 shares (and the cancellation of 75,000 shares) subject to share bonus awards granted in 2006 and 2007, and extended the exercisability of an aggregate of 670,000 options until December 31, 2008. Mr. Smach also will receive continued health coverage in accordance with the terms of his senior executive severance agreement with The Dii Group, which was acquired by the company in 2000.

*		Mr. Read was appointed as our Chief Financial Officer, effective June 30, 2008.

**		Mr. Smach resigned effective June 30, 2008


(1)		Information for fiscal years 2007 and 2008 is not included for Messrs. Read, Clarke and Burke, each of whom was appointed an executive officer during fiscal year 2009.

(2)		Messrs. McNamara and Read deferred a portion of their fiscal year 2009 salary under our senior executive deferred compensation plan, which amounts are included in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation in Fiscal Year 2009 table on page 63 of this proxy statement. Messrs. McNamara, Smach, and Burke and Ms. Schiff also contributed a portion of their fiscal year 2009 salaries to their 401(k) savings plan accounts and Mr. Clarke contributed a portion of his earnings to the company’s Canadian after tax savings plan. All amounts deferred are included under this column. Mr. Clarke’s salary is converted to Canadian dollars immediately prior to payout using the prevailing exchange rate on the effective date of the beginning of the pay periods beginning in January and July of each year.

(3)		For fiscal year 2009, this column shows the unvested portion of Mr. McNamara’s deferred compensation account that vested on April 1, 2009. For additional information about the company’s deferred compensation arrangements, see the section entitled “*Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Fiscal Year 2009 Executive Compensation—Deferred Compensation” beginning on page 50 of this proxy statement and the discussion under the section entitled “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation in Fiscal Year 2009*” beginning on page 62 of this proxy statement.

(4)		Stock awards consist of service-based and performance-based share bonus awards. The amounts in this column do not reflect compensation actually received by the named executive officers nor do they reflect the actual value that will be recognized by the named executive officers. Instead, the amounts reflect the compensation cost recognized by us in fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007 for financial statement reporting purposes in accordance with SFAS 123(R) for share bonus awards granted in and prior to fiscal year 2009. The amounts in this column exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. As a result of the dramatically deteriorating macro-economic climate, which has slowed demand for our customers’ products and the resulting decrease in our expected operating results, management believes that achievement of the longer-term goals for the performance-based share bonus awards granted to our named executive officers in April 2006, May 2007 and June 2008 are no longer probable and these awards are not expected to vest. As a result, cumulative compensation expense previously recognized for these share bonus awards was reversed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009. Compensation cost reversed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 for the named executive officers was as follows: Mr. McNamara—$1,528,690; Mr. Read—$506,997; Mr. Clarke—$313,627; Mr. Burke—$82,547; and Ms. Schiff—$235,220. The full grant-date fair value of share bonus awards granted in fiscal year 2009 is reflected in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2009 table beginning on page 58 of this proxy statement. For information regarding the assumptions made in calculating the amounts reflected in this column, see the section entitled “Stock-Based Compensation” under Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, included in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

(5)		The amounts in this column do not reflect compensation actually received by the named executive officers nor do they reflect the actual value that will be recognized by the named executive officers. Instead, the amounts reflect the compensation cost recognized by us in fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007 for financial statement reporting purposes in accordance with SFAS 123(R) for stock options granted in and prior to fiscal year 2009. The amounts in this column exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. There were no option grants to the named executive officers in fiscal year 2008. Information regarding the assumptions made in calculating the amounts reflected in this column for grants made in fiscal year 2009, is included in the section entitled “Stock-Based Compensation” under Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, included in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. In connection with his resignation, Mr. Smach forfeited 204,166 stock options, 183,333 of which were originally granted on April 17, 2006 and 20,833 of which were originally grant on August 23, 2004. The forfeiture of these options did not result in the reversal of any amounts previously expensed by the company.

(6)		The amounts in this column represent aggregate quarterly incentive cash bonuses earned in fiscal year 2009. For additional information, see the section entitled “*Compensation Discussion and Analysis—*


		*Fiscal Year 2009 Executive Compensation—Annual Incentive Bonus Plan*.” Mr. Clarke’s bonus is calculated in United States dollars and converted to Canadian dollars immediately prior to payout using the prevailing exchange rate on the effective date of the beginning of the pay periods beginning in January and July of each year. Messrs. McNamara and Smach deferred a portion of their quarterly incentive bonuses under our senior executive deferred compensation plan, which amounts are included in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation in Fiscal Year 2009 table on page 63 of this proxy statement. All amounts deferred are included under this column.

(7)		The amounts in this column represent the above-market earnings on nonqualified deferred compensation accounts in each respective fiscal year. None of our named executive officers participated in any defined benefit or pension plans and none of our named executive officers realized any above-market earnings on their non-qualified deferred compensation accounts in fiscal year 2009. Above-market earnings represent the difference between market interest rates determined pursuant to SEC rules and earnings credited to the named executive officers’ deferred compensation accounts. See the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation in Fiscal Year 2009 table on page 63 of this proxy statement for additional information.

(1)		This column reflects the range of estimated future vesting of performance-based share bonus awards that were granted in fiscal year 2009 under our 2001 Equity Incentive Plan and our 2002 Interim Incentive Plan. The performance-based share bonus awards cliff vest after three years only if the company achieves pre-determined three-year compounded annual adjusted EPS growth rates for the three years ending in fiscal year 2011. As a result of the dramatically deteriorating macro-economic climate, which has slowed demand for our customers’ products, and the resulting decrease in our expected operating results, management of the company believes that achievement of these performance measures is no longer probable and these awards are not expected to vest. For additional information, see the section entitled“Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Fiscal Year 2009 Executive Compensation—Stock-Based Compensation—Grants During Fiscal Year 2009”beginning on page 49 of this proxy statement.


(2)		This column shows the number of service-based share bonus awards granted in fiscal year 2009 under our 2001 Equity Incentive Plan. For Mr. McNamara, the share bonus award vests in equal annual installments over three years commencing on March 2, 2010, provided that Mr. McNamara continues to remain employed on the vesting date. For Mr. Burke, the share bonus awards cliff vest on June 2, 2011, provided that Mr. Burke continues to remain employed on the vesting date. For additional information, see the section entitled“Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Fiscal Year 2009 Executive Compensation—Stock-Based Compensation—Grants During Fiscal Year 2009”beginning on page 49 of this proxy statement.

(3)		This column shows the number of service-based stock options granted in fiscal year 2009 under our 2001 Equity Incentive Plan. These options vest as follows: 25% on the one-year anniversary of the grant date, with the remainder vesting in 36 equal monthly installments thereafter. Vesting is contingent upon the named executive officer continuing to remain employed on the vesting date. In addition, grants to Mr. McNamara and Mr. Read, consisting of 2,000,000 and 700,000 options, respectively, have a market based component, which requires that the company’s stock price be at least $12.50 per share in order for the options to be exercisable. For additional information, see the section entitled“Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Fiscal Year 2009 Executive Compensation—Stock-Based Compensation—Grants During Fiscal Year 2009”beginning on page 49 of this proxy statement.

(4)		This column shows the exercise price for the stock options granted, which was the closing price of our ordinary shares on the date the options were granted.

(5)		This column shows the grant-date fair value of share bonus awards and stock options under SFAS 123(R) granted to our named executive officers in fiscal year 2009. The grant-date fair value is the amount that we will expense in our financial statements over the award’s vesting schedule. Expense will be reversed for awards and options that do not vest. For share bonus awards, fair value is the closing price of our ordinary shares on the grant date. For stock options, the fair value is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula and a single option award approach. The fair values shown for share bonus awards and stock options are accounted for in accordance with SFAS 123(R). The grant date fair value of the share bonus awards reflects the maximum payout under these awards. Additional information on the valuation assumptions is included in the section entitled “Stock-Based Compensation” under Note 2 of our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, included in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the fiscal year needed March 31, 2009. These amounts reflect our accounting expense, and do not correspond to the actual value that will be recognized by the named executive officers. As a result of the dramatically deteriorating macro-economic climate, which has slowed demand for our customers’ products, and the resulting decrease in our expected operating results, management of the company believes that achievement of the long-term goals for the performance-based share bonus awards granted to our named executive officers in June 2008 is no longer probable and these awards are not expected to vest. As a result, compensation expense previously recognized for these share bonus awards was reversed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009.

(6)		These amounts show the range of possible payouts under our annual incentive cash bonus program for fiscal year 2009. The maximum payment for Messrs. McNamara and Read (other than with respect to the first fiscal quarter for Mr. Read) represents 200% of the target payment. The maximum payment for our other named executive officers, and for Mr. Read with respect to the first fiscal quarter, is approximately 300%, except that the maximum payment with respect to 20% of the target payout amounts in the third and fourth fiscal quarters for each of Mr. Clarke and Mr. Burke and with respect to 75% of the target payout amount in the third and fourth fiscal quarters for Ms. Schiff was only 200%. In addition, the maximum payment amounts for Messrs. Clarke and Burke include additional potential bonus amounts in the third and fourth fiscal quarters equal to 10% and 8.75% of annual base salary, respectively, for each quarter. The threshold payment for each named executive officer represents 50% of target payout levels. The annual incentive bonus plan provided for minimum payouts for the third and fourth fiscal quarters of 2009 as follows: Mr. McNamara—$234,375; Mr. Read—$75,000; Mr. Clarke—$11,000; Mr. Burke—$7,875; and Ms. Schiff—$23,907. Amounts actually earned in fiscal year 2009 are reported as Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation in the Summary Compensation Table. For additional information, see the section entitled “*Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Fiscal Year 2009 Executive Compensation—Annual Incentive Bonus Plan”*beginning on page 42 of this proxy statement.

(7)		These amounts show the range of potential payouts under our three-year cash incentive bonus plan ending in fiscal year 2011. Payouts will only be made if we achieve pre-determined three-year compounded annual adjusted EPS growth rates for the three years ending in fiscal year 2011. As a result of the dramatically deteriorating macro-economic climate, which has slowed demand for our customers’ products, and the resulting decrease in our expected operating results, management of the company believes that achievement of these performance measures is no longer probable and these bonuses are not expected to be paid. For additional information, see the section entitled “*Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Fiscal Year 2009 Executive Compensation—Long-Term Incentive Programs—Three-Year Performance Plan (fiscal 2009 through fiscal 2011)”*beginning on page 48 of this proxy statement.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation in Fiscal Year 2009

Each of our named executive officers participates in a deferred compensation plan. These plans are intended to promote retention by providing a long-term savings opportunity on a tax-efficient basis. Messrs. McNamara and Read participate in our Senior Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, which we refer to as the senior executive plan. In addition, Mr. Smach participated in the senior executive plan until his resignation, effective June 30, 2008. Participants in the senior executive plan may receive long-term deferred bonuses, which are subject to vesting requirements. In addition, a participant may defer up to 80% of his salary and up to 100% of his cash bonuses. The deferred compensation is credited to a deferral account established under the senior executive plan for recordkeeping purposes. Amounts credited to a deferral account are deemed to be invested in hypothetical investments selected by an investment manager on behalf of each participant. Under the senior executive plan, we have entered into a trust agreement providing for the establishment of an irrevocable trust into which we are required to deposit cash or other assets as specified in the applicable deferral agreement, equal to the aggregate amount required to be credited to the participant’s deferral account, less any applicable taxes to be withheld. The deferred account balances of the participants in the senior executive plan are unfunded and unsecured obligations of the company, receive no preferential standing, and are subject to the same risks as any of our other general obligations. Participants in the senior executive plan may receive their vested deferred compensation balances upon termination of employment either through a lump sum payment or in installments over a period of up to 10 years.

Messrs. Clarke and Burke and Ms. Schiff participate in the company’s Senior Management Deferred Compensation Plan (referred to as the senior management plan). Mr. Read participated in the senior management plan until December 1, 2008, when our Board approved his participation in the senior executive plan. Under the senior management plan, a participant may receive a deferred discretionary contribution, which is subject to vesting requirements. Deferred balances under the senior management plan are deemed to be invested in hypothetical investments selected by the participant or the participant’s investment manager. Participants in the senior management plan will receive their vested deferred compensation balances upon termination of employment through a lump sum payment on the later of January 15th of the year following termination and six months following termination. In addition, any unvested portions of the deferral accounts will become 100% vested if the executive’s employment is terminated as a result of his or her death. Under the senior management plan, we have entered into a trust agreement providing for the establishment of an irrevocable trust into which we are required to deposit cash or other assets as specified in the applicable deferral agreement, equal to the aggregate amount required to be credited to the participant’s deferral account, less any applicable taxes to be withheld. The deferred account balances of the participants in the senior

management plan are unfunded and unsecured obligations of the company, receive no preferential standing, and are subject to the same risks as any of our other general obligations.

(1)		Reflects the salary and bonus payments deferred by our named executive officers during the 2009 fiscal year. These amounts are included in the Summary Compensation Table under the “Salary” and “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” columns.

(2)		For Mr. Read, this amount represents contributions under the senior executive deferred compensation plan of $2,000,000 and contributions under the senior management plan of $180,000 during fiscal year 2009. For Messrs. Burke and Clarke and Ms. Schiff, these amounts represent contributions under the senior management plan during fiscal year 2009. These awards vest over a period of years so long as the executive remains employed with us. Neither Messrs. Read, Burke or Clarke or Ms. Schiff were vested under these plans as of March 31, 2009. These amounts, including any earnings or losses thereon, will be reported under the “Bonus” column of the Summary Compensation Table in future years if the executive continues to be a named executive officer. For additional information on these contributions and their vesting terms, including vesting upon the executive’s termination or a change in control of the company, see the sections entitled“Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Fiscal Year 2009 Executive Compensation—Deferred Compensation”beginning on page 50 of this proxy statement and“Executive Compensation—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control”beginning on page 64.

(3)		Reflects earnings for each named executive officer. The above-market portion of these earnings is included under the “Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings” column in the Summary Compensation Table. For Mr. Read, $15,521 was earned under his senior executive plan account and there was a loss of $288,729 under his senior management plan account.

		company in connection with his separation agreement, less aggregate losses. Pursuant to the terms of the separation agreement and in consideration for a general release from claims against the company, the vesting of Mr. Smach’s previously-awarded deferred bonus in the amount of $1.65 million, plus accumulated earnings of $191,353 was accelerated as of June 30, 2008, subject to a holdback of $1 million. Subject to Mr. Smach’s compliance with certain non-solicitation obligations, 100% of the holdback amount will be released and vest on December 31, 2009. For Mr. Read, the amount includes a $2,015,521 unvested balance in his senior executive plan account and a $742,449 unvested balance held in his senior management plan account.

Also does not include the aggregate balance of this account of $4,134,523.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control

As described in the section entitled“Compensation Discussion and Analysis”beginning on page 36 of this proxy statement, other than Mr. Smach’s separation agreement, our named executive officers do not have employment or severance agreements with us. However, our named executive officers are entitled to certain termination and change of control benefits under each executive’s deferred compensation plan and under certain equity awards. These benefits, along with the termination benefits provided or to be provided to Mr. Smach pursuant to his separation agreement, are described below and quantified in the table below.

Acceleration of Vesting of Deferred Compensation


	•	if the employment of Mr. McNamara or Mr. Read (with respect to his account under the senior executive plan) is terminated as a result of his death or disability, or the employment of Messrs. Read (with respect to his account under the senior management plan), Clarke or Burke or Ms. Schiff is terminated as a result of his or her death, the entire unvested portion of the executive’s deferred compensation account will vest;

	•	if there is a change of control (as defined in the senior executive plan), the entire unvested portion of the deferred compensation account of each of Messrs. McNamara and Read (with respect to his account under the senior management plan) will vest; and

	•	if there is a change of control (as defined in the senior management plan), a percentage of the unvested portion of the deferral account of each of Messrs. Read (with respect to his account under the senior management plan), Clarke and Burke and Ms. Schiff will vest based on the executive’s completed months of service with the company as follows: Mr. Read—number of months from July 1, 2005 to July 1, 2014, divided by 108; Mr. Clarke—number of months from July 1, 2007 to July 1, 2014, divided by 84; Mr. Burke—number of months from November 10, 2006 to July 1, 2017(inclusive of November 2006), divided by 128; and Ms. Schiff—number of months from July 1, 2005 to July 1, 2017, divided by 144.

Thomas J. Smach Separation Agreement

Effective on June 30, 2008, Thomas Smach retired as our Chief Financial Officer. Pursuant to his separation agreement and in consideration for a general release from claims, we agreed to pay Mr. Smach a severance payment equal to $700,000, which amount wasgrossed-up to reimburse Mr. Smach for income taxes. In addition, we accelerated the unvested portion of Mr. Smach’s deferred compensation account, subject to a $1,000,000 holdback and compliance with certain non-solicitation obligations, as described in the table below. We also agreed that Mr. Smach’s bonus payment for the quarter ended on June 30, 2008 would not be subject to the normal 50% holdback and that Mr. Smach would not be eligible for any future bonuses. In further consideration for the non-solicitation obligations as well as non-disclosure and non-disparagement agreements, we accelerated the vesting of 216,666 unvested shares previously granted pursuant to share bonus

awards and extended the exercisability of an aggregate of 670,000 stock options until December 31, 2008. Pursuant to Mr. Smach’s senior executive severance agreement with the Dii Group, which we acquired in 2000, Mr. Smach will continue to be entitled to health coverage for himself and his eligible dependents until he reaches the age of 65. The company will also make anygross-up payments necessary to reimburse Mr. Smach for any tax liability resulting from the benefits provided under the Dii Group senior executive severance agreement. Mr. Smach’s health benefits will be reduced to the extent he receives comparable benefits from another employer.

Acceleration of Vesting of Equity Awards

The number of unvested equity awards held by each named executive officer as of March 31, 2009 is listed above in the Outstanding Equity Awards at 2009 Fiscal Year-End table. All unvested outstanding equity awards held by our named executive officers at the end of fiscal year 2009 were granted under the 2001 Plan or the 2002 Plan, which provide certain benefits to plan participants in the event of the termination of such participant’s employment or a change in control of the company. The terms of these benefits are described below.

Under the terms of the 2001 Plan and the 2002 Plan, if a plan participant ceases to provide services to the company for any reason other than death, cause (as defined in the plan) or disability (as defined in the plan), then the participant may exercise any options which have vested by the date of such termination within three months of the termination date or such other period not exceeding five years or the term of the option, as determined by the Compensation Committee. If a participant ceases to provide services to the company because of death or disability, then the participant may exercise any options which have vested by the date of such termination within 12 months of the termination date or such other period not exceeding five years or the term of the option, as determined by the Compensation Committee. All stock options held by a plan participant who is terminated for cause expire on the termination date, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee. In addition, subject to any waiver by the Compensation Committee, all unvested share bonus awards and unvested stock options held by a plan participant will be forfeited if the participant ceases to provide services to the company for any other reason.

Except for grants to our non-employee directors made under the automatic option grant program of the 2001 Plan, under the terms of the 2001 Plan and the 2002 Plan and the form of share bonus award agreement used for certain of our grants of share bonus awards to our employees (including our executives), in the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the company or if we are acquired by merger or asset sale or in the event of other change of control events, each outstanding stock option issued under the 2001 Plan or the 2002 Plan and each unvested share bonus award with such a provision shall automatically accelerate so that each such award shall, immediately prior to the effective date of such transaction, become fully vested with respect to the total number of shares then subject to such award. However, subject to the specific terms of a given award, vesting shall not so accelerate if, and to the extent, such award is either to be assumed or replaced with a comparable right covering shares of the capital stock of the successor corporation or parent thereof or is replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the inherent value existing at the time of such transaction.

All of our named executive officer’s stock options with exercise prices less than $2.89 per share, the closing price of our ordinary shares on the last business day of our 2009 fiscal year, were granted under and are subject to the change of control provisions of one of these plans. In addition, 1,016,666 of Mr. McNamara’s unvested share bonus awards, 200,000 of Mr. Read’s unvested share bonus awards, 90,000 of each of Mr. Clarke’s and Mr. Burke’s unvested share bonus awards and 175,000 of Ms. Schiff’s unvested share bonus awards include such a change of control provision. In addition to the rights described above, 189,584 of Mr. McNamara’s unvested stock options provide that if he is terminated or his duties are substantially reduced or changed during the18-month period following a change of control, the vesting of the options will accelerate.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control
as of March 31, 2009

The following table shows the estimated payments and benefits that would be provided to each named executive officer (other than Mr. Smach) as a result of (i) the accelerated vesting of deferred compensation in the case of his or her death, disability or a change of control and (ii) the accelerated vesting of unvested equity awards in the event of a change of control. The following table also shows the severance payment made to Mr. Smach and the following benefits provided to Mr. Smach under his separation agreement:


	•	the accelerated vesting of his deferred compensation account and share bonus awards;

	•	the accelerated payment of amounts which otherwise would have been held back in fiscal year 2009 in connection with our annual incentive bonus plan;

	•	the extension of the exercise period for certain of his stock options; and

	•	the estimated value of his continued health coverage.

Calculations for this table (other than with respect to the severance payment made and the benefits provided for Mr. Smach under his separation agreement) assume that the triggering event took place on March 31, 2009, the last business day of our 2009 fiscal year, and are based on the price per share of our ordinary shares on such date, which was $2.89. The following table does not include potential payouts under our named executive officers’ nonqualified deferred compensation plans relating to vested benefits.

(1)		The amount shown for Mr. Smach includes a $700,000 severance payment and taxgross-up payments equal to $590,323.

(2)		We agreed not to hold back the portion of Mr. Smach’s annual incentive bonus for the June 2008 quarter which otherwise would have been held back in accordance with our annual incentive bonus plan.

(3)		The amount shown for Mr. Smach represents the accelerated vesting of 216,666 unvested shares previously granted pursuant to share bonus awards. Pursuant to Mr. Smach’s separation agreement, the vesting of these shares was accelerated on June 30, 2008 in consideration for Mr. Smach’s non-solicitation obligations discussed in note nine below as well as a non-disparagement agreement and an agreement not to disclose non-public information about the company. The amounts shown for each of the other named executive officers represents the estimated value of the accelerated vesting of share bonus awards following a change of control under the terms of his or her award agreement, which assumes that such share bonus awards are not assumed or replaced by the successor corporation or its parent. If such awards are assumed or replaced in a change of control transaction, the vesting of such awards will not accelerate. All amounts shown in this column represent the intrinsic value of the awards based on the closing price of our ordinary shares on June 30, 2008, the date that the awards vested (in the case of Mr. Smach) or March 31, 2009, the assumed date of the triggering event (in the cases of the other named executive officers).

(4)		The estimated values shown represent the acceleration of stock options following a change of control of the company or similar corporate transaction, assuming that such stock options are not assumed or replaced by the successor corporation or its parent. If such options are assumed or replaced in a change


		of control transaction, the vesting of such awards will not accelerate, except in the case of options for 189,584 shares held by Mr. McNamara which would vest upon his termination or a substantial reduction of his duties during the18-month period following a change of control. The amounts shown represent the intrinsic value of the awards based on the closing price of our ordinary shares on March 31, 2009, the assumed date of the triggering event.

(5)		The amount shown represents the incremental compensation cost associated with the extension of the option expiration dates from 90 days post employment to December 31, 2008 pursuant to Mr. Smach’s separation agreement, which cost was recognized by us for financial statement reporting purposes in accordance with SFAS 123(R).

(6)		The amount shown represents the estimated value of medical, dental and vision coverage to be provided to Mr. Smach through 2025, based on the current level of coverage as adjusted for estimated annual premium increases. The amount shown includes $261,200 of estimatedgross-up payments necessary to reimburse Mr. Smach for any tax liability associated with the receipt of these benefits. Thegross-up payments were calculated based on an income tax rate of 35% for federal income taxes, 9.3% for state income taxes and 1.45% for FICA taxes.

(7)		The amount shown for Mr. McNamara represents the entire unvested portion of his deferred compensation account, which would vest in the event of death, disability or a change of control. The amount shown for Mr. Read represents the portion of the unvested portion of his deferred compensation account that would vest in the event of a change of control. The portion of Mr. Read’s deferred compensation account that would vest in the event of his disability is $2,015,521. The entire portion of the unvested portion of Mr. Read’s deferred compensation account, or $2,757,970, would vest in the event of his death. The amounts shown for each of Messrs. Clarke and Burke and Ms. Schiff represent the portion of the unvested portion of his or her deferred compensation account that would vest in the event of a change of control. The entire amount of each of Messrs. Clarke’s or Burke’s or Ms. Schiff’s deferred compensation account, or $457,931, $675,609 and $489,796, respectively, would vest in the event of his or her death.

(8)		This row represents the actual payments and benefits that have been or will be provided to Mr. Smach pursuant to his separation agreement.

(9)		The amount shown represents the actual portion of Mr. Smach’s deferred compensation account (calculated as of June 30, 2008) which vested in accordance with his separation agreement, subject to a $1 million holdback. Pursuant to Mr. Smach’s separation agreement and in consideration for a general release from claims against the company, the vesting of Mr. Smach’s previously-awarded deferred bonus in the amount of $1.65 million, plus accumulated earnings of $191,353 was accelerated as of June 30, 2008, subject to a holdback of $1 million. As consideration for the acceleration of benefits, Mr. Smach has agreed until December 31, 2009 not to solicit or hire (i) any employees of the company or (ii) any customers or vendors of the company with whom he has had direct and material contact during the course of his employment. Subject to Mr. Smach’s compliance with his non-solicitation obligations, 100% of the holdback amount will be released and vest on December 31, 2009. $750,000 of Mr. Smach’s deferred bonus was otherwise scheduled to vest on April 1, 2009, with the remaining $900,000 scheduled to vest on April 1, 2010. In addition to his non-solicitation, non-disclosure and non-disparagement obligations, Mr. Smach remains subject to certain confidentiality agreements for the benefit of the company.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION

As of March 31, 2009, we maintained (i) the 2001 Equity Incentive Plan, which we refer to as the 2001 Plan, (ii) the 2002 Interim Incentive Plan, which we refer to as the 2002 Plan, (iii) the 2004 Award Plan for New Employees, which we refer to as the 2004 Plan, and (iv) the Solectron Corporation 2002 Stock Plan, which we refer to as the SLR Plan. None of the 2004 Plan, the 2002 Plan or the SLR Plan have been

approved by our shareholders. The following table provides information about equity awards under all of these equity incentive plans as of March 31, 2009.

(1)		The weighted-average exercise price does not take into account ordinary shares issuable upon the vesting of outstanding share bonus awards, which have no exercise price.

(2)		Includes 6,336,730 ordinary shares issuable upon the vesting of share bonus awards granted under the 2001 Plan. The remaining balance consists of ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options. Approximately 3.1 million shares subject to share bonus awards are subject to performance criteria which management of the company believes are not probable of being achieved and these awards are not expected to vest.

(3)		Consists of ordinary shares available for grant under the 2001 Plan and shares available under prior company plans and assumed plans that were consolidated into the 2001 Plan. The 2001 Plan provides for grants of up to 62,000,000 ordinary shares, plus ordinary shares issued or issuable pursuant to stock awards available for grant as a result of the forfeiture, expiration or termination of options granted under such consolidated plans (if such ordinary shares are issued under such other stock options, they will not become available under the 2001 Plan) and shares that were available for grant under such plans at the time of the consolidation of such plans into the 2001 Plan.

(4)		The 2004 Plan was established in October 2004 and, unless earlier terminated by our Board of Directors, will continue until October 21, 2014. The purpose of the 2004 Plan is to provide incentives to attract, retain and motivate eligible persons whose potential contributions are important to our success by offering such persons an opportunity to participate in our future performance through stock awards. Awards under the 2004 Plan may be granted only to persons who: (a) were not previously an employee or director of the company or (b) have either (i) completed a period ofbona fidenon-employment by the company of at least one year, or (ii) are returning to service as an employee of the company, after a period ofbona fidenon-employment of less than one year due to our acquisition of such person’s employer; and then only as an incentive to such persons entering into employment with us. We may grant nonqualified stock options and share bonus awards under the 2004 Plan. The 2004 Plan provides for grants of up to 10,000,000 shares. The exercise price of options granted under the 2004 Plan is determined by the Compensation Committee and may not be less than the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Options granted under the 2004 Plan generally vest over four years and expire 10 years from the date of grant. Unvested options are forfeited upon termination of employment. Share bonus awards generally vest in installments over a three- to five-year period and unvested share bonus awards are also forfeited upon termination of employment.

(5)		Our 2002 Plan was adopted by our Board of Directors in May 2002 and, unless earlier terminated by our Board of Directors, will continue until May 6, 2012. The adoption of the 2002 Plan was necessitated by our internal growth, our multiple acquisitions and the requirement to provide equity compensation for employees consistent with competitors and peer companies. The Board reserved an aggregate of 20,000,000 ordinary shares for issuance under the 2002 Plan. The 2002 Plan provides for the grant of nonqualified stock options and share bonus awards. Grants of awards to executives and non-employee


		directors may not exceed 49% of the shares reserved for grant under the plan. Options granted under the 2002 Plan generally have an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of the underlying ordinary shares on the date of grant. Options granted under the 2002 Plan generally vest over four years and expire 10 years from the date of grant. Unvested options are forfeited upon termination of employment. Share bonus awards generally vest in installments over a three- to five-year period and unvested share bonus awards are also forfeited upon termination of employment.

(6)		We have assumed equity incentive plans in connection with the acquisition of certain companies. Options to purchase a total of 7,202,654 ordinary shares under such assumed plans remained outstanding as of March 31, 2009. These options have a weighted-average exercise price of $8.62 per share. These options have been converted into options to purchase our ordinary shares on the terms specified in the applicable acquisition agreement, but are otherwise administered in accordance with terms of the assumed plans. Options under the assumed plans generally vest over four years and expire 10 years from the date of grant.

(7)		In connection with the acquisition of Solectron Corporation on October 1, 2007, we assumed the SLR Plan, including all outstanding options to purchase Solectron Corporation common stock with exercise prices equal to, or less than, $5.00 per share. Each assumed option was converted into an option to acquire our ordinary shares at the applicable exchange rate of 0.345. As a result, we assumed approximately 7.4 million vested and unvested options with exercise prices ranging from between $5.45 and $14.41 per ordinary share. We may grant incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options under the SLR Plan. Options granted under the SLR Plan generally have an exercise price of not less than the fair value of the underlying ordinary shares on the date of grant. Such options generally vest over four years and expire 10 years from the date of grant. Unvested options are forfeited upon termination of employment.

(8)		Includes 4,120,175 ordinary shares issuable upon the vesting of share bonus awards granted under the 2002 Plan and the 2004 Plan. The remaining balance consists of ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options.

(9)		As of March 31, 2009, 1,101,270 ordinary shares remained available for grant under the 2002 Plan and 3,890,879 ordinary shares remained available for grant under the 2004 Plan. There were approximately 18.4 million shares available for grant under the SLR Plan.

shares subject to options that are currently exercisable or are exercisable within 60 days of June 30, 2009, ordinary shares subject to share bonus awards that vest within 60 days of June 30, 2009 and ordinary shares which may be received from the conversion of our 1% Convertible Notes due August 1, 2010 are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding such awards or securities for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated below, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all the shares beneficially owned, subject to community property laws where applicable.

In the table below, percentage ownership is based on 810,591,862 ordinary shares outstanding as of June 30, 2009.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Review of Related Person Transactions

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics provides guidance for addressing actual or potential conflicts of interests, including those that may arise from transactions and relationships between us and our executive officers or directors. In addition, in order to formalize our policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification, and disclosure of related person transactions, our Board of Directors adopted a Statement of Policy with Respect to Related Person Transactions. The policy generally provides that the Audit Committee (or another committee comprised solely of independent directors) will review, approve in advance or ratify, all related person transactions between us and any director, any nominee for director, any executive officer, any beneficial owners of more than 5% of our ordinary shares or any immediate family member of any of the foregoing individuals. Under the policy, some ordinary course transactions or relationships are not required to be reviewed, approved or ratified by the applicable Board committee, including, among other things, the following transactions:


	•	transactions involving less than $25,000 for any individual related person;

	•	compensation arrangements with directors and executive officers resulting solely from their service on the Board or as executive officers, so long as such arrangements are disclosed in our filings with the SEC or, if not required to be disclosed, are approved by our Compensation Committee; and

	•	indirect interests arising solely from a related person’s service as a directorand/or owning, together with all other related persons, directly or indirectly, less than a 10% beneficial ownership interest in a third party (other than a partnership) which has entered into or proposes to enter into a transaction with us.

We have various procedures in place to identify potential related person transactions, and the Audit Committee works with our management and our Office of General Counsel in reviewing and considering whether any identified transactions or relationships are covered by the policy. Our Statement of Policy with Respect to Related Person Transactions is included in our Guidelines with Regard to Certain Governance Matters, a copy of which is available along with a copy of the company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics on the Corporate Governance page of our website atwww.flextronics.com.

Transactions with Related Persons

Other than compensation agreements and other arrangements described under the sections entitled “Executive Compensation” beginning on page 54 of this proxy statement and “Non-Management Director’s Compensation for Fiscal Year 2009” beginning on page 18 of this proxy statement and the transactions described below, during fiscal year 2009, there was not, nor is there currently proposed, any transaction or series of similar transactions to which we are or will be a party:


	•	in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000; and

	•	in which any director, nominee, executive officer, holder of more than 5% of our ordinary shares or any member of their immediate family had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Investment by Silver Lake

In March 2003, we issued $195.0 million aggregate principal amount of our Zero Coupon Convertible Junior Subordinated Notes due 2008 to funds affiliated with Silver Lake. In connection with the issuance of the notes, we appointed James A. Davidson, a co-founder and managing director of Silver Lake, to our Board of Directors. In July 2006, we entered into an agreement with the Silver Lake noteholders to, among other things (i) extend the maturity date of the notes to July 31, 2009 and (ii) provide for net share settlement of the notes upon maturity. The notes may no longer be converted or redeemed prior to maturity, other than in connection with certain change of control transactions, and upon maturity will be net share settled by the payment of cash equal to the face amount of the notes and the issuance of shares with a value equal to any conversion value in excess of the face amount of the notes. The terms of the transaction were based on arms-length negotiations between us and Silver Lake, and were approved by our Board of Directors as well as by the Audit Committee.

Loans to Executive Officers

Glouple. In connection with an investment partnership of our executive officers, Glouple Ventures LLC, from July 2000 through December 2001, we loaned the following amounts to each of Messrs. McNamara and Smach (inclusive of interest accrued through August 2009):


	Amount
	of Loan
	for Messrs.
	McNamara		Interest
Date	and Smach		Rate

July 2000	$	117,395		6.40	%
August 2000	$	76,704		6.22	%
November 2000	$	375,496		6.09	%
August 2001	$	56,468		5.72	%
November 2001	$	43,325		5.05	%
December 2001	$	12,403		5.05	%

The loans were evidenced by promissory notes executed by each of Messrs. McNamara and Smach in our favor. The loans bore interest at the rates indicated above and were to mature on August 15, 2010. As of June 30, 2008, the remaining aggregate outstanding balance of the indebtedness of each of Messrs. McNamara and Smach was $691,071 (consisting of principal and accrued interest), which is the largest aggregate amount of indebtedness outstanding at any time since the beginning of fiscal year 2009. As of August 2009, each of Messrs. McNamara and Smach had paid off all of the outstanding balance of their loans.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of our ordinary shares to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Such persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and written representations from our executive officers and directors, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 were met.
