Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
          On May 10, 2007, Flextronics International Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into a new $2.0 billion credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”) with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender, Bank of America, N.A. and The Bank of Nova Scotia, as L/C Issuers, The Bank of Nova Scotia, as Syndication Agent, Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited, BNP Paribas, Fortis Capital Corp., Keybank National Association, Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd. and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp., New York, as Co-Documentation Agents, Banc of America Securities LLC and The Bank of Nova Scotia, as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Managers, and the other Lenders party thereto. The New Credit Facility, which replaces the Company’s existing $1.35 billion credit facility, matures on May 10, 2012.
          Borrowings under the New Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, either at (i) the base rate (the greater of the Administrative Agent’s prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%); or (ii) LIBOR (the London Interbank Offered Rate) plus the applicable margin for LIBOR loans ranging between 0.50% and 1.25%, based on the Company’s credit ratings (as determined by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services and Moody’s Investor Service). The Company is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.20% per annum on the unutilized portion of the New Credit Facility based on the Company’s credit ratings and, if the utilized portion of the New Credit Facility exceeds 50% of the total commitments, a quarterly utilization fee of 0.125% on such utilized portion. The Company is also required to pay letter of credit usage fees ranging between 0.50% and 1.25% per annum (based on the Company’s credit ratings) on the amount of the daily average outstanding letters of credit and a fronting fee of (i) in the case of commercial letters of credit, 0.125% of the amount available to be drawn under such letters of credit, and (ii) in the case of standby letters of credit, 0.125% per annum on the daily average undrawn amount of such letters of credit.
          The New Credit Facility is unsecured, and contains customary restrictions on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to (i) incur certain debt, (ii) make certain investments, (iii) make certain acquisitions of other entities, (iv) incur liens, (v) dispose of assets, (vi) make non-cash distributions to shareholders, and (vii) engage in transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of significant exceptions and limitations. The New Credit Facility also requires that the Company maintain a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization), and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined, during the term of the New Credit Facility. Borrowings under the New Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries.
          The foregoing description of the New Credit Facility is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Report on Form 8-K.
          Some of the lenders under the New Credit Facility and/or their affiliates have from time to time performed and may in the future perform various commercial banking, investment banking and other financial advisory services for the Company and/or its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, for which they received or will receive customary fees and commissions.
