ITEM 5.02           DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS

Appointment of New Director

On December 5, 2022, the Board of Directors of Sanmina Corporation (the “Company”) appointed David V. Hedley III as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company and as a member of the Audit Committee. Mr. Hedley, 53, has served as Chief Strategy Officer of Bramshill Investments, LLC, an alternative fixed-income asset manager, since 2021. Prior to joining Bramshill, Mr. Hedley was a Senior Managing Director and Principal of Ernst &Young Capital Advisors, LLC from 2014 to 2020, serving as head of its U.S. Technology Investment Banking practice. Prior to Ernst & Young, Mr. Hedley held senior technology investment banking positions at Canaccord Genuity, UBS Investment Bank, Thomas Weisel Partners and Merrill Lynch & Co.

Mr. Hedley will receive prorated cash and equity compensation for his service through the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders in accordance with the non-employee Board member compensation arrangements previously approved by the Board.

The press release announcing Mr. Hedley’s appointment is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.

Approval of Executive Officer Compensation Arrangements

Also on December 5, 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Fiscal Year 2023 Corporate Bonus Plan (the “2023 Plan”). The 2023 Plan contains targets for the Company’s revenue, non-GAAP operating margin and cash flow from operations for fiscal 2023. The Company’s performance for fiscal 2023 will be measured against these targets. Should the Company not achieve a minimum performance against these targets, no incentive compensation shall be payable under the 2023 Plan. Each 2023 Plan participant’s actual incentive compensation for fiscal 2023 will be determined by reference to his or her target incentive compensation, the Company’s achievement against its targets and achievement of the participant’s individual/divisional performance goals for fiscal 2023. Target individual incentive compensation payable under the 2023 Plan is expressed as a percentage of annual base salary and, for executive officers of the Company, ranges from 80% to 187.5%. The Committee retains the right to terminate or amend the 2023 Plan in any respect, including increasing or decreasing Company and individual incentive compensation targets, and can also adjust an individual’s incentive compensation up or down on a discretionary basis.
