Sanmina-SCI Corporation Announces Early Settlement for its Previously Announced Tender Offers and Consent Solicitation

San Jose, California — May 10, 2011 — Sanmina-SCI Corporation (the “Company”) (Nasdaq GS: SANM) announced today that, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 9, 2011 (the “Early Tender and Consent Deadline”), it had received tenders and consents from holders of $279,340,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 6¾% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the “2013 Notes”), representing approximately 73.51% of the outstanding 2013 Notes, and tenders from holders of $257,484,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 8.125% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 (the “2016 Notes” and together with the 2013 Notes, the “Notes”), representing approximately 42.91% of the outstanding 2016 Notes, in connection with the Company’s previously announced cash tender offer and consent solicitation for any and all of the 2013 Notes (the “2013 Notes Offer”) and cash tender offer for up to $200.0 million aggregate principal amount (the “Tender Cap”) of the 2016 Notes (the “2016 Notes Offer” and together with the 2013 Notes Offer, the “Offers”).

On May 10, 2011, the Company accepted for payment all 2013 Notes and $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2016 Notes validly tendered as of the Early Tender and Consent Deadline and made payment to The Depository Trust Company therefor.

As a result of the receipt of the requisite consents from holders of 2013 Notes, on May 10, 2011, the Company entered into a supplemental indenture with the trustee effecting the proposed amendments to the indenture governing the 2013 Notes, substantially as described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated April 26, 2011 relating to the 2013 Notes, which eliminated substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default contained in such indenture.

Because the aggregate principal amount of 2016 Notes tendered exceeded the Tender Cap, the Company accepted the 2016 Notes for payment on a pro rata basis.  The final proration factor was 77.69%.  The Company made appropriate adjustments downward to the nearest $1,000 principal amount to avoid purchases of Notes in principal amounts other than integral multiples of $1,000.  The Company will not accept any 2016 Notes tendered after the Early Tender and Consent Deadline.  All 2016 Notes not accepted as a result of proration will be promptly returned to tendering holders of 2016 Notes.

Holders who have not yet tendered their 2013 Notes may tender until 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on May 24, 2011, unless extended or earlier terminated.  Any Notes so tendered may not be withdrawn.  The Offers are subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions.

The Company has engaged BofA Merrill Lynch, as the dealer manager for the Offers and as the solicitation agent for the 2013 Notes Offer.  Persons with questions regarding either of the Offers should be directed to BofA Merrill Lynch toll-free at (888) 292-0070 or collect at (980) 388-9217 (attention: Debt Advisory Services).  Requests for documents should be directed to D.F.
