Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 30, 2005, the Compensation Committee of Sanmina-SCI Corporation (the “Company”) approved the acceleration of vesting of “underwater” unvested stock options held by employees and a non-employee director. A stock option was considered “underwater” if the option exercise price was greater than $5.00 per share and was granted prior to April 1, 2005.  The Compensation Committee, which consists entirely of independent directors, unanimously approved the acceleration of vesting of underwater stock options. These actions were taken in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Company’s stock option plans.

 

The table below summarizes the outstanding options subject to accelerated vesting.

(1) The accelerated options represent 8.5% of the Company’s currently outstanding stock options.

 

The decision to accelerate vesting of these underwater stock options was made primarily to avoid recognizing compensation expense in future financial statements upon the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), which, when effective, will require all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized on the Company’s financial statements based on their fair values. SFAS 123R will become effective as to the Company beginning in the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year 2006.  Additionally, the Company believes underwater stock options may not be offering the affected employees sufficient incentive when compared to the potential future compensation expense that would have been attributable to these stock options.
