Good day, and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Fabrinet Annual Meeting. I would now like to hand the conference over to your speaker today, Colin Campbell. Please go ahead.

Colin Campbell
General Counsel, Fabrinet

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Fabrinet's 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. I am Colin Campbell, Fabrinet's General Counsel. As requested by Tom Mitchell, our Chairman of the Board, I will be presiding as the Chairman of today's meeting, which I now call to order. I will begin by introducing our directors and executive officers who are with us today. For our Board of Directors, we have Seamus Grady, our Chief Executive Officer. Rollance Olson, our Lead Independent Director. Dr. Homa Bahrami, our Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee. Thomas Kelly, the Chair of our Audit Committee. Dr. Frank Levinson, the Chair of our Compensation Committee, and Gregory Dougherty. From our management team, we have Seamus Grady, our Chief Executive Officer again, and Csaba Sverha, our Chief Financial Officer.

I also would like to introduce today, [Brunering Rugwezelit] and Pongthavee Ratanakoses of PricewaterhouseCoopers, our independent public accountants. Jose Macias and Erica Muhl of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, our outside corporate counsel. Garo Toomajanian of ICR, Inc., our Investor Relations Representative. Finally, Andrew Wilcox, our Inspector of Elections, representing Broadridge Financial Solutions. Mr. Wilcox has signed an oath of office, which will be filed with the minutes of this meeting. The agenda and rules of conduct for today's meeting are posted on the virtual meeting web portal. Please abide by the rules of conduct in order to facilitate an orderly meeting and allow us to accomplish the items on the agenda. In today's meeting, we will address and vote on the proposals described in Fabrinet's proxy statement dated October 21, 2021.

Following the vote, we will announce the preliminary results and then adjourn the whole meeting. After we adjourn, we will provide time to answer appropriate questions from shareholders. Only validated shareholders may ask questions in the designated field on the web portal. Questions may be submitted at any time during the meeting and prior to the end of the question- and- answer session. I have an affidavit certifying that the notice of this meeting was duly given, and the proxy materials for this meeting were made available on or about October 21, 2021, to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 13, 2021, the record date for this meeting. As of the record date, there were 37,018,313 ordinary shares of Fabrinet outstanding and entitled to vote on each proposal presented in this meeting.

A complete list of the shareholders of record as of the record date has been prepared and certified by our registrar and transfer agent, Computershare. This list will be filed with the records of the company and is available for inspection by any shareholder for purposes related to this meeting. The Inspector of Elections has advised me that we have present in person and by proxy, a sufficient number of shares to constitute the quorum necessary to proceed with this meeting. Turning to the voting procedures. If you previously have submitted your proxy or voted via telephone or internet, and you do not intend to change your vote, it is not necessary that you take any further action. Your vote will be counted.

If you are eligible to vote and have not done so, or if you want to change your vote, you may vote by clicking on the voting button on the web portal and following the instructions there. If, however, you logged into the web portal as a guest, you will not be able to vote during the meeting. If any shareholder would like to ask a question regarding any of the proposals or voting procedures, please submit your question through the web portal. As set forth in the notice of the meeting, there are three proposals properly before this meeting today. The first proposal is to elect Dr. Frank Levinson and David T. Mitchell as Class III directors, each to hold office for a three-year term expiring in 2024, or until their respective successors have been duly elected and qualify.

The second proposal is to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers ABAS Limited, as Fabrinet's independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year ending June 24, 2022. The third proposal is to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to Fabrinet's named executive officers. Fabrinet's Board of Directors recommends that you vote in favor of each of these proposals. Mr. Macias, have any questions been submitted that pertain to any one of these three proposals or voting procedures?

Jose Macias
Partner, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati

Mr. Campbell, I can confirm that no questions have been submitted.

Colin Campbell
General Counsel, Fabrinet

Thank you, Mr. Macias. The polls are now open for voting. If you are eligible to vote and have not done so, or if you want to change your vote, you may do so by clicking on the voting button on the web portal and following the instructions there.

Upon the closing of the polls, no ballots, proxies, votes, or any revocations or changes will be accepted. I will pause at this time to allow the shareholders to complete any online voting. I hereby declare the polls closed at 9:07 A.M. Pacific Time. Mr. Wilcox, will you please report on the preliminary results of the voting?

Andrew Wilcox
Inspector of Elections, Broadridge Financial Solutions

Thank you, Mr. Campbell. Based upon the preliminary results, I can report, one, that each of Dr. Frank Levinson and David T. Mitchell have been elected to the Board. Two, that the proposal for the ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers as Fabrinet's independent auditor has passed. Three, that the advisory vote on executive compensation has also passed.

Colin Campbell
General Counsel, Fabrinet

Thank you, Mr. Wilcox. The Inspector of Elections will conduct a final count of all votes on these matters, and results will be included in the minutes of this meeting and in our current report on Form 8-K announcing the results of this meeting. This concludes the official business of the meeting, and I declare the meeting adjourned. We will now respond to appropriate shareholder questions that have been submitted in advance of the meeting or entered today on the web portal. We will attempt to answer as many questions as time allows, but only questions that follow the rules of conduct will be addressed. Please note that federal securities law prohibits us from providing any material non-public information in this forum. This includes any information that would update or confirm any financial guidance we've previously disclosed.

If any questions touch on this or any material non-public information, we will not be able to address those questions. Mr. Macias, have you received any shareholder questions that are in compliance with the rules of conduct?

Jose Macias
Partner, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati

Mr. Campbell, there are no questions to address.
