Singapore, September 17, 2012 —   Flextronics (NASDAQ: FLEX) today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase plan.  Repurchases under the Company’s share repurchase plans are subject to an aggregate limit under Singapore law of 10% of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares as of the Company’s Extraordinary General Meeting held in August 2012.  This new authorization permits the repurchase of ordinary shares up to the current maximum under the 10% limitation.

Share repurchases, if any, will be made in the open market.  The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, market conditions and applicable legal requirements.
