(e) On June 23, 2008, Flextronics International USA, Inc. (“FIUI”), a U.S. subsidiary of the Company, entered into a separation agreement with Thomas J. Smach, in connection with Mr. Smach’s previously-reported resignation as Chief Financial Officer, effective June 30, 2008. Under the terms of the separation agreement, Mr. Smach will receive (i) his quarterly bonus for the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2009, without reduction of the 50% annual holdback, but will not be eligible for any additional annual or long-term cash incentive bonuses; and (ii) a severance payment of $700,000, which amount will be grossed up for income taxes. In addition, the vesting of approximately $1 million of Mr. Smach’s deferred compensation account will accelerate and vest on June 30, 2008, and the remaining unvested balance of $1 million of the deferral account (together with earnings) will vest on December 31, 2009, subject to Mr. Smach’s compliance with certain non-solicitation and non-competition covenants. The separation agreement also provides for accelerated vesting of an aggregate of 216,666 shares (and the cancellation of 75,000 shares) subject to share bonus awards granted in 2006 and 2007, and extends the exercisability of an aggregate of 670,000 options until December 31, 2008. Mr. Smach also will receive continued health coverage in accordance with the terms of his senior executive severance agreement with The Dii Group, which was acquired by the Company in 2000.
