Plan to Spin-off Remaining Interest in Nextracker to Flex Shareholders
Flex today also announced its plan to effect a spin-off of all of its remaining interest in Nextracker Inc. ("Nextracker") to Flex shareholders on a pro rata basis.
Flex expects that completion of the spin-off will unlock meaningful value, giving Flex shareholders direct ownership of Nextracker in a tax-free manner for U.S. federal income tax purposes and provides Flex with increased strategic flexibility.
The spin-off will be effected pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), entered into by Flex and Nextracker on February 7, 2023, and disclosed in connection with Nextracker's previously completed initial public offering. Earlier today, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Flex delivered to Nextracker a written notice exercising Flex's right to effect the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the "Transactions").
Later today, Nextracker will be filing a registration statement on Form S-4, that includes a preliminary proxy statement of Flex, which will include additional information regarding the Transactions.
Flex currently beneficially owns approximately 51.47% of the economic interests in the business of Nextracker. As a result of the Transactions, Flex shareholders' indirect economic interest in the business of Nextracker will become an equivalent pro rata direct ownership interest in Nextracker Class A common stock listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. The number of shares of Nextracker Class A common stock to be received by each Flex shareholder will be determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement. Based on applicable share counts as of Flex's second quarter ended September 29, 2023, upon completion of the Transactions, a Flex shareholder as of the applicable record date would be expected to receive approximately 0.17 shares of Nextracker Class A common stock per Flex ordinary share held (with cash payments in lieu of any fractional shares of Nextracker Class A common stock). Following completion of the Transactions, Flex will no longer directly or indirectly hold any of the issued and outstanding shares of Nextracker or any common units of Nextracker LLC.
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.
