[424B5] FLEX LTD. Prospectus Supplement (Debt Securities)
Flex Ltd. launched a preliminary prospectus supplement for a primary debt offering, including an add-on to its 5.250% Notes due 2032 and a new series of senior unsecured notes. The additional 2032 notes will be fully fungible with the existing 2032 series and carry the same core terms, with interest paid each January 15 and July 15.
Flex plans to use net proceeds to repay or redeem its 3.750% Notes due February 1, 2026, with any remainder for general corporate purposes. As of September 26, 2025, $675.0 million aggregate principal of the 2026 notes was outstanding. The existing 2032 notes total $500,000,000 issued on August 21, 2024.
The notes rank as senior unsecured obligations. Flex may redeem either series prior to the par call date at a make-whole premium (2032 notes: Treasury Rate plus 25 bps) and at par thereafter, and must offer to repurchase upon a change of control repurchase event at 101% of principal plus accrued interest. No exchange listing is intended.
