Item 8.01 Other Events.

On October 25, 2023, Flex announced its plan to effect a spin-off of all of its remaining interests in Nextracker to Flex shareholders on a pro rata basis pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 7, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Flex, Nextracker, Yuma, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Flex, and Yuma Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nextracker.

Further, on October 25, 2023, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Flex delivered to Nextracker the Merger Notice (as defined in the Merger Agreement) exercising Flex’s right to effect the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”).

The Transactions are subject to a number of conditions as set forth in the Merger Agreement, including the approval of Flex shareholders in accordance with Singapore law, and there is no assurance that any such conditions will be satisfied or waived. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the Transactions will in fact be completed. The Transactions are currently expected to be completed in Flex’s fourth quarter ending March 31, 2024.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, the form of which was filed as Exhibit 10.16 to Nextracker’s Amendment No. 1 to Form S-1 Registration Statement filed on January 24, 2023. The Merger Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.

No Offer or Solicitation

This communication is neither an offer to purchase, nor a solicitation of an offer to sell, subscribe for or buy any securities or the solicitation of any vote in any jurisdiction, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of securities in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law.

Important Additional Information

Flex and Nextracker have prepared, and Nextracker intends to file, a registration statement on Form S-4, that includes a preliminary proxy statement of Flex and also constitutes a preliminary prospectus of Nextracker. Flex and Nextracker will also file other documents with the U.S.

Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding the Transactions, including the definitive proxy statement/prospectus. The information in the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus is not complete and may be changed. When available, Flex will mail the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents to its shareholders as of a record date to be established for voting on the Transactions. This communication is not a substitute for the definitive proxy statement/prospectus or any other document that Flex will send to its shareholders in connection with the Transactions. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS OF FLEX ARE URGED TO READ THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, THE PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE, AND ALL OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS THAT ARE FILED OR WILL BE FILED WITH THE SEC, AS WELL AS ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS TO THESE DOCUMENTS, CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN OR WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED MATTERS.

Copies of the registration statement, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other documents filed by Flex or Nextracker with the SEC may be obtained, once available, free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Participants in the Solicitation

Flex, Nextracker and their respective directors, executive officers, other members of management, and employees, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies of Flex’s shareholders in connection with the Transactions. Information regarding the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation of Flex’s shareholders in connection with the Transactions will be in the registration statement, including the proxy statement/prospectus, when it is filed with the SEC. Investors and security holders may obtain more detailed information regarding the names and interests in the Transactions of Flex’s and Nextracker’s directors and officers in Flex’s and Nextracker’s filings with the SEC and such information will also be in the registration statement, including the proxy statement/prospectus, when it is filed with the SEC.
