TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On May 10, 2007, Flextronics International Ltd. (the Company) entered into a new
$2.0 billion credit facility (the New Credit Facility) with Bank of America, N.A., as
Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender, Bank of America, N.A. and The Bank of Nova Scotia, as
L/C Issuers, The Bank of Nova Scotia, as Syndication Agent, Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited, BNP
Paribas, Fortis Capital Corp., Keybank National Association, Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd. and
Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp., New York, as Co-Documentation Agents, Banc of America Securities LLC
and The Bank of Nova Scotia, as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Managers, and the other Lenders
party thereto. The New Credit Facility, which replaces the Companys existing $1.35 billion credit
facility, matures on May 10, 2012.
Borrowings under the New Credit Facility bear interest, at the Companys option, either at (i)
the base rate (the greater of the Administrative Agents prime rate or the federal funds rate plus
0.50%); or (ii) LIBOR (the London Interbank Offered Rate) plus the applicable margin for LIBOR
loans ranging between 0.50% and 1.25%, based on the Companys credit ratings (as determined by
Standard & Poors Rating Services and Moodys Investor Service). The Company is required to pay a
quarterly commitment fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.20% per annum on the unutilized portion of the New
Credit Facility based on the Companys credit ratings and, if the utilized portion of the New
Credit Facility exceeds 50% of the total commitments, a quarterly utilization fee of 0.125% on such
utilized portion. The Company is also required to pay letter of credit usage fees ranging between
0.50% and 1.25% per annum (based on the Companys credit ratings) on the amount of the daily
average outstanding letters of credit and a fronting fee of (i) in the case of commercial letters
of credit, 0.125% of the amount available to be drawn under such letters of credit, and (ii) in the
case of standby letters of credit, 0.125% per annum on the daily average undrawn amount of such
letters of credit.
The New Credit Facility is unsecured, and contains customary restrictions on the ability of
the Company and its subsidiaries to (i) incur certain debt, (ii) make certain investments, (iii)
make certain acquisitions of other entities, (iv) incur liens, (v) dispose of assets, (vi) make
non-cash distributions to shareholders, and (vii) engage in transactions with affiliates. These
covenants are subject to a number of significant exceptions and limitations. The New Credit
Facility also requires that the Company maintain a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDA
(earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization), and a minimum fixed
charge coverage ratio, as defined, during the term of the New Credit Facility. Borrowings under the
New Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries.
The foregoing description of the New Credit Facility is not complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the full terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, which is filed as
Exhibit 10.1 to this Report on Form 8-K.
Some of the lenders under the New Credit Facility and/or their affiliates have from time to
time performed and may in the future perform various commercial banking, investment banking and
other financial advisory services for the Company and/or its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of
business, for which they received or will receive customary fees and commissions.
