Recent Announcement of Acquisition

On June 4, 2007 Solectron Corporation and Flextronics International Ltd. ("Flextronics") (NASDAQ:FLEX) announced that the two companies have entered into a definitive agreement for Flextronics to acquire Solectron. The merger agreement has been filed with the SEC. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth calendar quarter of 2007.

Non-GAAP Information

In addition to disclosing results determined in accordance with GAAP, Solectron also discloses non-GAAP results of operations that exclude certain items. By disclosing this non-GAAP information, management intends to provide investors with additional information to further analyze the company's performance, core results and underlying trends. Management utilizes a measure of net income and earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis that excludes certain charges to better assess operating performance.

Consistent with industry practice, management has historically applied these non-GAAP measures when discussing earnings or earnings guidance and intends to continue doing so.

Non-GAAP information is not determined using GAAP. Therefore, the information is not necessarily comparable to other companies and should not be used to compare the company's performance over different periods. Non-GAAP information should not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, net income or other data prepared in accordance with GAAP as measures of our profitability or liquidity. Users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions for which adjustments have been made. In addition, Solectron's GAAP financial results often reflect one-time events and adjustments, and therefore a comparison of GAAP results over different periods can be difficult. See the tables at the end of this press release for a reconciliation of non-GAAP amounts to amounts reported under GAAP. A reconciliation from non-GAAP to GAAP results is contained in the attached financial summary and is available in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.solectron.com.
