Flex Announces the Pricing Terms of Its Cash Tender Offer for Any and All of Its 4.625% Notes Due 2020

Flex FLEX today announced the pricing terms of its previously announced cash tender offer (the "Tender Offer") for any and all of its outstanding 4.625% Notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes").

The consideration (the "Tender Offer Consideration") for each $1,000 principal amount of the 2020 Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer was determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase dated May 30, 2019 (the "Offer to Purchase") by reference to the fixed spread for the 2020 Notes specified below plus the yield to maturity based on the bid-side price of the U.S. Treasury Reference Security specified below as of 2:00 p.m., New York City time today, the date on which the Tender Offer is currently scheduled to expire.

In addition to the Tender Offer Consideration, holders of the 2020 Notes ("Holders") will receive accrued and unpaid interest on the 2020 Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase from the February 15, 2019 interest payment date up to, but not including, the settlement date, which is currently expected to be June 6, 2019 (such date, as it may be extended, the "Settlement Date"). Notes tendered by notice of guaranteed delivery and accepted for purchase are expected to be purchased on the second business day after the Settlement Date, but payment of accrued interest on such 2020 Notes will only be made to, but not including, the Settlement Date.

The Tender Offer will expire today at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, unless extended or earlier terminated as described in the Offer to Purchase (such time and date, as they may be extended, the "Expiration Time"). Holders must validly tender their 2020 Notes at or prior to the Expiration Time (including by notice of guaranteed delivery) and not validly withdraw their 2020 Notes to be eligible to receive the Tender Offer Consideration and accrued and unpaid interest as described above.

The Tender Offer is being made on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the related letter of transmittal and notice of guaranteed delivery and the Company's press release dated May 30, 2019 announcing the amendment by the Company of the financing condition of the Tender Offer (collectively, the "Offer Documents"). The amended financing condition for the Tender Offer is the successful completion by Flex of its previously announced offering (the "Offering") of $450 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Notes due 2029 (the "New Notes"). The Offering is not conditioned on the completion of the Tender Offer.

Holders who validly tender their 2020 Notes may validly withdraw their tendered 2020 Notes at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the Expiration Time and (ii) if the Tender Offer is extended, the 10th business day after commencement of the Tender Offer. Notes may also be validly withdrawn at any time after the 60th business day after commencement of the Tender Offer if for any reason the Tender Offer has not been consummated by that date.

Holders are urged to read the Offer Documents carefully before making any decision with respect to the Tender Offer. Copies of the Offer Documents are available via the Tender Offer website at www.dfking.com/flex or by contacting D.F. King & Co., Inc., the Information Agent for the Tender Offer, via email at flex@dfking.com or via telephone at (212) 269-5550 (banks and brokers) or (800) 967-4607 (all others). Questions regarding the terms of the Tender Offer should be directed to the Dealer Managers for the Tender Offer, J.P.

None of Flex, its board of directors, the Dealer Managers, the Information Agent or the trustee for the 2020 Notes, or any of their respective affiliates, is making any recommendation as to whether Holders should tender any 2020 Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer. Holders must make their own decision as to whether to tender any of their 2020 Notes and, if so, the principal amount of 2020 Notes to tender.
