Item 8.01 Other Events

In a Form 12b-25 filed with the Commission on August 11, 2006, Sanmina-SCI Corporation (the “Company”) indicated that it would not file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended July 1, 2006 by the filing deadline as a result of the ongoing investigation by the special committee of the Company’s Board of Directors of the Company’s stock option administration practice and policies. The Company received letters from the trustee for the holders of the Company’s $400 million aggregate outstanding principal amount of 6¾% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 and its $600 million aggregate outstanding principal amount of 8.125% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016, stating that the Company has violated certain indenture provisions as a result of its failure to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended July 1, 2006 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the trustee.

The indentures for the notes provide that such a default could be cured by making that filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission by September 14, 2006.  Such indentures also provide that such a default, if not cured by that date, would give certain holders and the trustee the right to accelerate the maturity of the notes.  The Company is currently in discussions with certain holders of the notes and expects to commence shortly a consent solicitation of waivers of any such default.
