Summary
Flextronics International Ltd. (FLEX) filed an 8-K on April 27, 2011, primarily to announce two significant events for investors. The first, detailed in Item 2.02, is the release of the Company's financial results for its fourth quarter ended March 31, 2011. While the specific details of these results are not in the 8-K itself but rather in an attached press release (Exhibit 99.1), the filing signifies the availability of this crucial financial performance information. The second major announcement, under Item 8.01, concerns the Company's capital allocation strategy. Flextronics' Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program, authorizing the repurchase of up to $200 million of its outstanding ordinary shares. This move signals management's confidence in the company's valuation and its commitment to returning capital to shareholders, though the actual repurchases are subject to market conditions and the company's discretion.
