FLEXTRONICS AND SOLECTRON ANNOUNCE AVAILABILITY OF NOTICE OF GUARANTEE
PROCEDURE IN CONNECTION WITH ELECTION OF MERGER CONSIDERATION

Singapore and Milpitas, CA, September 13, 2007 — Flextronics International Ltd. (NASDAQ: FLEX) and Solectron Corporation (NYSE: SLR) jointly announced today that if a Solectron stockholder wishes to make an election with respect to the merger consideration to be received in the proposed acquisition by Flextronics of Solectron, but the shares of Solectron common stock subject to such election are not reflected in the stockholder’s account, the stockholder may nonetheless make such election if all of the following conditions are met:

	§		a properly completed and duly executed Election Form in the form provided by Flextronics and Solectron is received by Computershare Shareholder Services, Inc. (the “Exchange Agent”) prior to the Election Deadline described below;
	§		a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guarantee substantially in the form available as provided below is received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline; and
	§		the shares of Solectron common stock covered by the Election Form are delivered to the stockholder’s account (and in the case of shares held through DTC, the applicable DTC participant inputs the election in accordance with DTC’s procedures) within three New York Stock Exchange trading days following the Election Deadline.

Solectron stockholders may request copies of the Notice of Guarantee by calling Innisfree M&A Incorporated toll free from within the United States and Canada at (877) 825-8971.

The Notice of Guarantee may be delivered by mail or overnight delivery or by facsimile transmission to the Exchange Agent as indicated on the form of the Notice of Guarantee and must include a guarantee by a financial institution (including most banks, savings and loan associations and brokerage houses) that is a participant in a Medallion Signature Guarantee Program (an “Eligible Institution”) in the form set forth in the form of Notice of Guarantee.

Flextronics and Solectron previously announced that the Election Deadline by which Solectron stockholders that wish to make an election with respect to the merger consideration to be received in the proposed acquisition by Flextronics of Solectron must deliver a properly completed election form to the Exchange Agent is 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 27, 2007.

Solectron stockholders who hold their shares through a bank, broker or other nominee may have an election deadline earlier than the Election Deadline. These Solectron stockholders should carefully review any materials they receive from their bank, broker or other nominee to determine the election deadline applicable to them.

Beginning on August 13, 2007, the required election forms and accompanying instructions were mailed to Solectron stockholders of record as of August 6, 2007. Solectron stockholders, including those that acquired their shares after August 6, 2007, may request copies of these election documents, as well as copies of the Notice of Guarantee, by calling Innisfree M&A Incorporated toll free from within the United States and Canada at (877) 825-8971.
