Words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “will,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding the planned spin-off of our cloud and power infrastructure business into an independent, publicly traded company; the expected timing of the spin-off and the ability to complete the spin-off; the anticipated benefits of the spin-off, including enhanced strategic focus, financial flexibility, and value creation for shareholders; the expected tax-free treatment of the spin-off for U.S. federal income tax purposes; the expected future performance of each company following completion of the spin-off; management changes and leadership of each company; and statements about business strategies, growth opportunities, market position, and financial outlook for each company. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, and assumptions involving risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Risks and uncertainties related to the proposed spin-off include, but are not limited to: uncertainties as to whether the spin-off will be completed and the timing thereof; the possibility that various conditions to the completion of the spin-off may not be satisfied or waived; the possibility that the spin-off will not qualify for the expected tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes; the risk that the spin-off may be more difficult, time-consuming, or costly than expected, including the impact on Flex Ltd.’s (“Flex”) resources, systems, procedures, and controls; the possibility that the strategic, operational, and financial benefits of the spin-off may not be achieved or may take longer to achieve than expected; the failure to obtain, or delays in obtaining, required legal, regulatory or other approvals necessary to complete the spin-off; disruption from the spin-off, including potential adverse effects on relationships with customers, suppliers, employees, and other business partners; competitive responses to the announcement or completion of the spin-off; diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations; the possibility of disputes, litigation, or unanticipated costs in connection with the spin-off; uncertainty regarding the financial performance of either company following the spin-off; negative effects of the announcement or pendency of the spin-off on the market price of Flex’s securities and/or on Flex’s financial performance; the ability to achieve anticipated capital structures, credit ratings, and financing in connection with the spin-off; the ability to retain key personnel; impacts of geopolitical conflicts; and any changes in general economic and/or industry-specific conditions. Additional information concerning risks relating to our business is described under “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
