SINGAPORE, June 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Flextronics International Ltd. announced today that as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time today, the Early Tender/Consent Deadline for its previously announced cash tender offer (the "Offer") and consent solicitation (the "Consent Solicitation"), it has received valid tenders and consents from holders of $317.5 million (or approximately 79.5%) and $5.5 million (or approximately 1.4%), respectively, of the aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "6 1/2% Notes") and of $214.3 million (or approximately 53.3%) and $165.8 million (or approximately 41.2%), respectively, of the aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "6 1/4% Notes" and together with the 6 1/2% Notes, the "Notes"). Accordingly, the requisite majority consents to adopt the proposed amendments to the restricted payments covenants and certain related definitions contained in each of the indentures under which the Notes were issued have been received.

In accordance with the Offer and the Consent Solicitation, the Company and the trustee under each of the indentures have entered into a supplemental indenture to effect the proposed amendments, which proposed amendments will become operative on the date when amounts payable by Flextronics pursuant to the Offer and the Consent Solicitation with respect to tendered Notes and delivered consents are deposited with the depositary (the "Payment Date"), which is expected to occur promptly following the Expiration Time (as defined below).

Holders of 6 1/2% Notes that validly tendered (and did not validly withdraw) 6 1/2% Notes prior to the Early Tender/Consent Deadline are eligible to receive the applicable Total Consideration set forth in the table below, which includes a consent fee of $10.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, and holders of 6 1/2% Notes that validly delivered (and did not validly revoke) consents, without also tendering the related 6 1/2% Notes, prior to the Early Tender/Consent Deadline are eligible to receive the consent fee of $10.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. Holders of 6 1/4% Notes that validly tendered (and did not validly withdraw) 6 1/4% Notes prior to the Early Tender/Consent Deadline are eligible to receive the applicable Total Consideration set forth in the table below, which includes a consent fee of $10.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (the "Consent Fee"), for their 6 1/4% Notes that are accepted for purchase in the Offer. Holders of 6 1/4% Notes are eligible to receive, in lieu of the Consent Fee, an alternative consent fee of $23.00 per $1,000 principal amount of 6 1/4% Notes for 6 1/4% Notes for which consents were validly delivered (and not validly revoked) prior to the Early Tender/Consent Deadline without the tender of the related 6 1/4% Notes and for 6 1/4% Notes that were validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) prior to the Early Tender/Consent Deadline but which are not accepted for purchase due to proration.

Holders that validly tender Notes after the Early Tender/Consent Deadline and prior to the Expiration Time will be eligible to receive only the applicable Base Offer Consideration set forth in the table below. In addition to the Total Consideration or the Base Offer Consideration, as the case may be, holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase in the Offer will receive accrued and unpaid interest from and including the last interest payment date up to, but excluding, the Payment Date. Flextronics is offering to purchase up to $100,000,000 of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of each series of Notes. If the aggregate principal amount of 6 1/2% Notes or 6 1/4% Notes tendered exceeds the $100,000,000 maximum acceptance amount of such Notes, tendering holders of the oversubscribed series of Notes will be subject to proration. The proration amount, if any, will be set shortly after the Expiration Time.
