Flex Ltd.
Conflict Minerals Report
For the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2023

1. INTRODUCTION

This Conflict Minerals Report (this "Report") of Flex Ltd. (the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") is provided in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Rule 13p-1") for the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2023 (the "Reporting Period"). The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") adopted Rule 13p-1 in 2012 to implement reporting and disclosure requirements related to certain minerals as directed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Rule 13p-1 requires the disclosure of certain information on Form SD by SEC registrants ("Registrants") that manufacture or contract to manufacture products that use minerals specified in Form SD that are necessary to the functionality or production of these products ("Necessary Conflict Minerals"). These minerals are columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, wolframite, gold, and their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin, and tungsten (collectively, "Conflict Minerals"). Form SD identifies certain countries from which Conflict Minerals are sourced as "Covered Countries" and requires Registrants to determine, among other things, whether their Necessary Conflict Minerals originated in any Covered Country and fund "Armed Groups" (as such term is defined in Form SD). Covered Countries are the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the "DRC") and countries adjoining the DRC. The reporting requirements of Rule 13p-1 apply to Registrants regardless of the geographic origin of their Necessary Conflict Minerals and whether or not such Necessary Conflict Minerals fund Armed Groups.

Form SD requires Registrants to conduct, in good faith, a "reasonable country of origin inquiry," or "RCOI," with respect to their Necessary Conflict Minerals. The purpose of the RCOI is to determine whether any of the Registrant's Necessary Conflict Minerals originated in a Covered Country or are from recycled or scrap sources.

If, based on its RCOI, a Registrant knows that any of its Necessary Conflict Minerals originated in a Covered Country and is not from recycled or scrap sources, or has reason to believe that its Necessary Conflict Minerals may have originated in a Covered Country and has reason to believe that such Necessary Conflict Minerals may not be from recycled or scrap sources, the Registrant must exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of its Necessary Conflict Minerals, in accordance with a nationally or internationally recognized due diligence framework, if such a framework is available for the particular Conflict Mineral. Form SD describes further actions a Registrant must take based on the results of its due diligence on the source and chain of custody of its Conflict Minerals.

We design, build, ship and service complete packaged consumer and industrial products, primarily electronics, for companies of all sizes in various industries and end-markets. We manufacture or contract to manufacture many products that use Necessary Conflict Minerals. We primarily purchase component parts and generally do not purchase raw ore or unrefined Conflict Minerals. We generally do not have direct contractual relationships with the originating mines, or the smelters or refiners of the Conflict Minerals that end up in our products. These mines are many layers upstream from us in our global supply chain, and therefore we need to rely on our thousands of direct suppliers as well as industry initiatives for source information on the Conflict Minerals in our products. In addition, many of our customers require us to use their chosen suppliers in the manufacture of their products and we typically do not have direct contractual relationships with these suppliers. In such cases we must rely on the cooperation of our customers and their designated suppliers for Conflict Minerals source information.

In accordance with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, Third Edition (the "OECD Guidance"), the internationally recognized standard on which our Company's Conflict Minerals compliance system is based, we support an industry initiative that audits Conflict Minerals smelters' and refiners' due diligence activities. That industry initiative is the Responsible Business Alliance's ("RBA") and Global e-Sustainability Initiative's Responsible Minerals Initiative ("RMI"). The data on which we relied for certain statements in this report was obtained through our membership in the RMI, using their RCOI report for member "FLEX." We are a charter member of the RBA and have periodically held a board seat in the organization since its formation in 2004. We embrace and support the RMI's due diligence and reporting processes to encourage transparency throughout the supply chain.

2. RCOI PROCESS AND RESULTS

For products manufactured during the Reporting Period, we performed a RCOI on the Necessary Conflict Minerals found in the products we manufacture or contract to manufacture. We utilized the RMI's Conflict Minerals Reporting Template ("CMRT") to query the suppliers identified in the assessment of our supply chain as to the sources of the Necessary Conflict Minerals in the products they supply to us. After collecting responses to our CMRT queries from suppliers, we evaluated the responses for


completeness and plausibility, and we engaged in follow-up communications with suppliers as appropriate. Some suppliers provided us with "company-level" CMRT responses that include Conflict Minerals information for all products sold by the supplier to its customers even though we may have purchased only a limited subset of such products from the supplier.

Based on our RCOI described above, we have reason to believe that some of these Conflict Minerals may have originated from the Covered Countries and may not be from recycled or scrap sources.

3. DUE DILIGENCE PROCESS

Based on the results of our RCOI, and as required by Form SD, we conducted due diligence on the source and chain of custody of our Necessary Conflict Minerals ("Due Diligence") to ascertain whether these Conflict Minerals originated in the Covered Countries and finance or otherwise benefited Armed Groups.

3.1 Design of Our Due Diligence Measures

Our Due Diligence measures have been designed to conform with the OECD Guidance, as applicable for tin, tantalum, tungsten, gold and downstream companies (as the term is defined in the OECD Guidance). The design of our Due Diligence measures incorporates the following five-step framework as outlined in the OECD Guidance:

1. Establish strong company management systems.
2. Identify and assess risks in the supply chain.
3. Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks.
4. Carry out independent third-party audits of smelters'/refiners' due diligence practices by participating in industry-driven initiatives.
5. Report annually on supply chain due diligence.

3.2 Due Diligence Measures Performed

Our Due Diligence measures performed during the Reporting Period include:

•Our continued efforts to manage the Company's Conflict Minerals Compliance program through our Conflict Minerals Working Group which consists of cross-functional team member representatives from our compliance, corporate, social and environmental responsibility, procurement, internal audit and legal groups;
•Continued development of our compliance management framework and implementation plan, including business processes and IT systems to manage information requests and data sharing with customers and suppliers, consistent with the Company's Conflict Minerals Policy, as described below;
•Ongoing engagement with customers and suppliers to remove smelters and refiners from the supply base, as necessary; and
•Participation in industry group initiatives to help define and clarify industry standards.

In addition, we communicated our Conflict Minerals Policy to our suppliers who supply us components containing Conflict Minerals. Our Conflict Minerals Policy includes the following:

•Our expectation that our suppliers source from socially responsible suppliers;
•Our expectation that our suppliers have policies and procedures in place to ensure that products and parts supplied to us are "DRC conflict-free" (as such term is defined in Form SD);
•Our expectation that our suppliers provide all necessary due diligence information to confirm that all Conflict Minerals supplied to us are DRC conflict-free;
•Our expectation that our suppliers pass these requirements on to their supply chain; and
•Statement that the above requirements are taken into consideration when selecting and retaining suppliers.

A copy of our Conflict Minerals Policy is publicly available on our website at www.flex.com/supplier-information/supplier-quality.

We surveyed 4,711 suppliers of components containing Conflict Minerals, representing approximately 84.65% of our global direct materials spend for the Reporting Period. As with our RCOI, we used the CMRT to collect information from these suppliers regarding the sources of the Necessary Conflict Minerals in the products they supply to us, including the processing smelters and refiners ("SORs") and countries and mines of origin of such Conflict Materials.

2

Of the 4,711 suppliers surveyed, we received responses from 2,188 suppliers or approximately 47%. We evaluated the responses for plausibility, consistency and completeness, especially in terms of the reported Conflict Minerals content, and the origin of the Conflict Minerals. We also checked the conflict-free status of SORs on the RMI's website.

We followed up with the suppliers surveyed, to the extent possible, on missing and inconsistent information, implausible statements regarding no presence of Conflict Minerals, incomplete data provided, responses that did not identify SORs, responses that indicated a sourcing location without complete supporting information from the supply chain, and organizations that were identified as SORs but not verified as such through further analysis and research. In addition, we followed up on cases where the supplier reported that a SOR does not source Necessary Conflict Minerals from the Covered Countries and the reported sourcing country is not a known reserve for the specified Conflict Mineral.

If a supplier did not provide the information requested, we initiated an escalation process. The escalation process included contacting alternate persons at the supplier, enlisting help from other Company locations engaged with the supplier, obtaining assistance from our global commodity team, and working with our customer(s) to contact the suppliers.

Based on our supplier survey, follow-up and, if necessary, escalation procedures as described above, we estimate that we had reliable responses from 2,044 suppliers, representing approximately 60.28% of our global direct materials spend for the Reporting Period, which we used to make our due diligence determination as required under Form SD.

We reported to the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors with respect to our Due Diligence processes and compliance activities.

4. DUE DILIGENCE DETERMINATION

Based on the Due Diligence performed on certain of our products offered in our business groups as described below, we were unable to determine whether the Necessary Conflict Minerals contained in such products (not including Conflict Minerals that originated from recycled or scrap sources) originated in the Covered Countries, or, if they did originate in the Covered Countries, whether the mining of or trade in such Conflict Minerals directly or indirectly finance or otherwise benefit Armed Groups.

4.1.2 Smelters and Refiners; Countries of Origin of Conflict Minerals

As noted above, as part of our Due Diligence, we received and validated Conflict Minerals declarations from 2,044 of our suppliers. These declarations include a total of approximately 357 SORs (180 smelters and 177 refiners) that processed Conflict Minerals used in the production of such suppliers' products. Among these 357 SORs provided in the declarations, approximately 64% either have been certified as conformant with the Responsible Minerals Assurance Program's ("RMAP") (formerly known as the Conflict-Free Smelter Program) assessment protocols ("RMAP Conformant") or have committed to undergo a RMAP audit ("RMAP Active").

As many of these declarations are company-wide and not product specific, we believe these declarations may include SORs, and countries of origin for Conflict Minerals that are not applicable to the Conflict Minerals used in our products. Due to the many such company-wide declarations and the multiple levels of suppliers in our supply chain, we are unable to determine with certainty at this time which SORs or which countries of origin listed in the declarations actually provide the specific Conflict Minerals used in our products. The SORs identified by our suppliers in their declarations, as well as the countries of origin for their Conflict Minerals, are set forth in the Appendix to this Report.

4.1.3 Due Diligence Improvement Efforts

We expect to take the following steps, among others, to continue to improve our due diligence processes and further mitigate the risk that our Conflict Minerals finance or otherwise benefit Armed Groups:

•Increase supplier Conflict Minerals outreach;
•Increase the number and improve the quality of supplier survey responses;
•Support customers with their specific initiatives within their supply base;
•Improve quality check and follow-up process for suppliers' survey responses;
•Inform and encourage smelters and refiners to participate in conflict-free industry initiatives such as the RMI;
•Actively participate in and support industry trade groups to help bolster awareness and communication throughout the supply chain;
•Train and educate our suppliers on our ongoing expectations regarding conflict-free sourcing;
•Reconsider our partnerships with suppliers who do not comply with our Conflict Minerals Policy; and
•Continue to refine our due diligence processes in accordance with the OECD Guidelines and supplements.
