Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 21, 2024, Flex Ltd. (the "Company") completed its sale of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.250% Notes due 2032 (the "Notes"). The offer and sale of the Notes was registered pursuant to the Company's shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-281573), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on August 15, 2024. A prospectus supplement relating to the offer and sale of the Notes was filed with the Commission on August 20, 2024.
The Notes were issued under an Indenture, dated as of June 6, 2019 (the "Base Indenture") between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association, as supplemented by the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 21, 2024 between the Company and the Trustee (the "Sixth Supplemental Indenture" and, together with the Base Indenture, the "Indenture").
Interest on the Notes is payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2025. The Notes will mature on January 15, 2032. The Company may, at its option, redeem some or all of the Notes at any time by paying the applicable redemption prices set forth in the Indenture. In addition, holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase their Notes upon the occurrence of a change of control repurchase event (as defined in the Indenture), unless the Company has previously exercised its right to redeem the Notes as described above. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally with all of the Company's other existing and future senior and unsecured indebtedness. The Indenture contains certain limited covenants restricting the Company's ability to incur certain liens, enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions and merge or consolidate with any other entity or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the Company's properties and assets to another person, which, in each case, is subject to a number of significant limitations and exceptions. The Indenture contains certain other covenants, events of default and other customary provisions.
From time to time in the ordinary course of business, the Trustee and affiliates of the Trustee have engaged in and may in the future engage in commercial banking, investment banking and other commercial transactions and services with the Company and its subsidiaries for which they have received or will receive customary fees and commissions. For example, an affiliate of the Trustee is a lender under the Company's revolving credit facility, an affiliate of the Trustee is one of the underwriters for the offering and sale of the Notes, and the Trustee is the trustee under the indentures governing the Company's 4.750% Notes due 2025, 3.750% Notes due 2026, 6.000% Notes due 2028, 4.875% Notes due 2029 and 4.875% Notes due 2030.
The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms of the Base Indenture, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, which is filed as Exhibit 4.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and the Notes, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 4.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
