(e) Executive Compensation
Compensation for Paul Read (Principal Financial Officer)
On December 1, 2008, the Board approved the participation of Mr. Read, the
Company's Chief Financial Officer, in the Flextronics International USA, Inc.
Second Amended and Restated Senior Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, as
amended (the "Senior Executive Plan"). Under the Senior Executive Plan, a
participant may defer all or a part of his or her compensation in accordance
with the applicable deferral agreement executed by the participant and FIUI. The
deferred compensation is credited to a deferral account established under the
Senior Executive Plan for recordkeeping purposes. Amounts credited to a deferral
account are deemed to be invested in hypothetical investments selected by an
investment manager on behalf of each participant. Under the Senior Executive
Plan, FIUI entered into a trust agreement, providing for the establishment of an
irrevocable trust into which FIUI is required to deposit cash or other assets as
specified in the applicable deferral agreement, equal to the aggregate amount
required to be credited to the participant's deferral account, less any
applicable taxes required to be withheld.
In connection with Mr. Read's becoming a participant, the Company will fund
an initial one-time deferred bonus in the aggregate amount of $2.0 million. The
deferred bonus for Mr. Read will vest as follows: (i) 10% will vest on
January 1, 2010; (ii) an additional 15% will vest on January 1, 2011; (iii) an
additional 20% will vest on January 1, 2012; (iv) an additional 25% will vest on
January 1, 2013; and (v) an additional 30% will vest on January 1, 2014. The
deferred bonus for Mr. Read will be 100% vested upon a change of control (as
defined in the Senior Executive Plan) if he is employed at that time or if his
employment is terminated as a result of death or disability.
Modifications to Annual Incentive Bonus Plan for Fiscal 2009
On December 1, 2008, the Board approved modifications to the Company's annual
incentive bonus plan that provides the Company's executive officers with the
opportunity to earn cash bonuses based upon the achievement of certain
performance goals. Performance goals for the first two fiscal quarters were not
modified. Performance goals for the third and fourth fiscal quarters were
changed to: achievement of EPS, inventory reduction, free cash flow and SG&A
levels at the company level and revenue and profit after interest and inventory
reduction, as well as the company level metrics, at the business unit levels,
with varying weightings to be determined for different executive officers.
Targets may be set as a quarterly or six month measure and quarterly measures
may allow for recoupment if a target not met in the third quarter is met on a
cumulative basis in the fourth quarter. In addition, the plan was modified to
eliminate the annual year over year component for measuring performance, and
performance goals will be based solely on quarterly and/or six month
performance. The modifications also permit providing for a minimum 50% of target
payouts for the third and fourth fiscal quarters.
