In addition to the Tender Offer Consideration, holders of the 2020 Notes
(“Holders”) will receive accrued and unpaid interest on the 2020 Notes
validly tendered and accepted for purchase from the February 15, 2019
interest payment date up to, but not including, the settlement date,
which is currently expected to be June 6, 2019 (such date, as it may be
extended, the “Settlement Date”). Notes tendered by notice of guaranteed
delivery and accepted for purchase are expected to be purchased on the
second business day after the Settlement Date, but payment of accrued
interest on such 2020 Notes will only be made to, but not including, the
Settlement Date.

The Tender Offer will expire today at 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
unless extended or earlier terminated as described in the Offer to
Purchase (such time and date, as they may be extended, the “Expiration
Time”). Holders must validly tender their 2020 Notes at or prior to the
Expiration Time (including by notice of guaranteed delivery) and not
validly withdraw their 2020 Notes to be eligible to receive the Tender
Offer Consideration and accrued and unpaid interest as described above.

The Tender Offer is being made on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the related letter of
transmittal and notice of guaranteed delivery and the Company’s press
release dated May 30, 2019 announcing the amendment by the Company of
the financing condition of the Tender Offer (collectively, the “Offer
Documents”). The amended financing condition for the Tender Offer is the
successful completion by Flex of its previously announced offering (the
“Offering”) of $450 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Notes
due 2029 (the “New Notes”). The Offering is not conditioned on the
completion of the Tender Offer.

Holders who validly tender their 2020 Notes may validly withdraw their
tendered 2020 Notes at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the
Expiration Time and (ii) if the Tender Offer is extended, the 10th
business day after commencement of the Tender Offer. Notes may also be
validly withdrawn at any time after the 60th business day after
commencement of the Tender Offer if for any reason the Tender Offer has
not been consummated by that date.

Holders are urged to read the Offer Documents carefully before making
any decision with respect to the Tender Offer. Copies of the Offer
Documents are available via the Tender Offer website at www.dfking.com/flex
or by contacting D.F. King & Co., Inc., the Information Agent for the
Tender Offer, via email at flex@dfking.com
