TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Approval of Amendments to 2001 Equity Incentive Plan
On October 4, 2006, Flextronics International Ltd. (the Company) held its Annual General Meeting
of Shareholders (the 2006 Annual Meeting). At the 2006 Annual Meeting, the Companys
shareholders approved amendments to the Companys 2001 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2001 Plan).
The amendments to the 2001 Plan, which became effective on October 4, 2006, provide for:
|
(1) |
|
elimination of the two million share sub-limit on the number of ordinary shares subject
to stock bonus awards that may be outstanding at any time during the term of the 2001 Plan; |
|
|
(2) |
|
modification of the automatic option grant to non-employee directors so that the option
grant will not be pro-rated based on the service of the director during the prior 12
months; and |
|
|
(3) |
|
an increase of the share reserve by 5,000,000 ordinary shares to an aggregate of
32,000,000 ordinary shares (not including shares available under plans consolidated into
the 2001 Plan). |
The foregoing description is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, reference to the full
text of the 2001 Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference
herein.
Approval of Non-Employee Director Compensation
Under Singapore law, the Company may only provide cash compensation to its non-employee directors
for services rendered in their capacity as directors with the prior approval from its shareholders
at a general meeting. At the 2006 Annual Meeting, the Companys shareholders approved the
following cash compensation arrangements for the non-employee directors of the Company: (i) annual
cash compensation of $40,000, payable quarterly in arrears, for services rendered as a director;
(ii) additional annual cash compensation of $10,000, payable quarterly in arrears to the Chairman
of the Audit Committee (if appointed) of the Board of Directors for services rendered as Chairman
of the Audit Committee and for his or her participation on the Audit Committee; and (iii)
additional annual cash compensation of $5,000, payable quarterly in arrears for participation on
any standing committee of the Board of Directors.
The standing committees of the Board of Directors of the Company are currently the Audit,
Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance, and Finance Committees.
The cash compensation for the directors of the Company approved at the 2006 Annual Meeting is
unchanged from the amounts approved by the Companys shareholders at the 2005 Annual General
Meeting of Shareholders.

Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders
(a) At the 2006 Annual Meeting, the Companys shareholders approved the amendment and
restatement of the Companys Articles of Association, which defines the rights of holders of the
Companys ordinary shares.
As a result of the shareholder approval, which became effective on October 4, 2006, the Companys
Articles of Association were amended to (i) reflect certain changes made by the Singapore Companies
(Amendment) Act 2005, including the elimination of the concepts of par value, share premium, shares
issued at a discount and authorized share capital; (ii) provide for the holding of treasury shares
and to modernize and streamline certain provisions to be more consistent with, and take greater
advantage of, the Singapore Companies Act, as amended; and (iii) re-word a number of provisions in
order to improve clarity and readability.
For a detailed description of the amendments to the Companys Articles of Association, please refer
to the section entitled Proposal No. 6 Special Resolution to Approve the Amended and Restated
Articles of Association of the Company in the Companys definitive Proxy Statement used in
connection with the 2006 Annual Meeting and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on

text of the Companys Amended and Restated Articles of Association, effective October 4, 2006, which is
attached hereto as Exhibit 3.01 and is incorporated by reference herein.
