Item 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On October 9, 2026, Flex Ltd. (the “Company” or “Flex”) and Amazon.com NV Investment Holdings LLC (the “Warrantholder”) and Amazon.com Services LLC (the “Assignee”), wholly-owned subsidiaries of Amazon.com, Inc. (the “Parent”), entered into an amendment (the “Warrant Amendment”) to that certain Warrant to Purchase Ordinary Shares (the “Existing Warrant” and, as amended by the Warrant Amendment, the “Amended Warrant”), dated August 15, 2025, to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,859,851 ordinary shares of the Company (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $51.29 per share. The Existing Warrant was issued pursuant to a Transaction Agreement, dated as of August 15, 2025 (the “Transaction Agreement”) between the Company and the Parent.

 

The terms of the Warrant, subject to the Warrant Amendment described in this Report, are summarized in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 18, 2025, which description is hereby incorporated by reference.

 

Pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, Section 8(iii) of the Existing Warrant is amended in connection with the Company’s planned separation of its cloud and power infrastructure business into a new publicly traded company, Axiom Solutions International, Inc. (“Spinco”) and the pro rata distribution of between approximately 88.0% and 94.0% of the outstanding shares of Spinco common stock to Flex shareholders (the “Distribution”). Subject to the terms of the Amended Warrant, in lieu of the Warrantholder participating in the Distribution via the receipt of Spinco common stock, the Company shall cause Spinco to issue to the Assignee, in connection with and concurrent with the Distribution, a fully vested warrant to purchase a number of shares of Spinco common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the “Spinco Warrant”). The number of shares of Spinco common stock subject to the Spinco Warrant will be determined based on the intrinsic value of the Warrant prior to the Distribution.

 

The Warrant Amendment also provides for the transfer and assignment to the Assignee of all of the Warrantholder’s right, title and interest in and to the Existing Warrant.

 

The Warrant Amendment may be deemed to involve the cancellation of the Existing Warrant and the issuance of the Amended Warrant. The issuance of the Amended Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or under any state securities law. The Company believes that the transaction is exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and customary legends will be affixed to the Amended Warrant and the Warrant Shares.

 

The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms of the Existing Warrant and the Transaction Agreement, which are incorporated as Exhibits 4.1 and 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the Warrant Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 4.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
