- Completed Spin-off of remaining interest in Nextracker to Flex Shareholders
As previously announced, on January 2, 2024, Flex completed the spin-off of all of its remaining interest in Nextracker Inc. ("Nextracker") to Flex shareholders on a pro rata basis based on the number ordinary shares of Flex held by each shareholder of Flex (the "Distribution") as of December 29, 2023, which was the record date of the Distribution. Under the previously disclosed terms of the transaction, Flex shareholders received approximately 0.17 shares of Nextracker Class A common stock for every Flex ordinary share held as of the record date of the Distribution. Flex shareholders received cash in lieu of any fractional shares.
As a result of the completion of the spin-off, Nextracker became a fully independent public company, Flex no longer directly or indirectly holds any shares of Nextracker common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Nextracker common stock and Flex will no longer consolidate Nextracker into its financial results. Following the spin-off, Flex ordinary shares continue to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "FLEX" and shares of Nextracker Class A common stock continue to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "NXT".
The historical results of Nextracker and certain assets and liabilities included in the spin-off will be reported in Flex's consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations beginning in Flex's fourth quarter ending March 31, 2024.
