AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Flex (FLEX)

Flex completes $4.4 billion acquisition of EPC Power, funded partly with new debt

Mixed Impact 4 of 5 m&a Written later

Flex completed its $4.4 billion cash acquisition of EPC Power on October 14, 2026, and is now part of its Cloud and Power Infrastructure business. The purchase was funded with a $3.3 billion Credit Facility, a $1.1 billion Bridge Credit Facility and cash on hand, both facilities maturing October 13, 2027. Repayment depends in part on the pending $2.0 billion Axiom preferred investment and the planned first-quarter 2027 spin-off of that business.

Key points

  • Purchase price was $4.4 billion in cash, subject to customary adjustments, with a locked box date of June 30, 2026.
  • The Company borrowed $3.3 billion under its Credit Facility and $1.1 billion under its Bridge Credit Facility on October 14, 2026.
  • Both facilities mature on October 13, 2027, and the Credit Facility must be prepaid when Axiom funds a term loan tied to the spin-off.
  • Axiom's $2.0 billion Series A Convertible Preferred Stock investment has not closed and is subject to regulatory conditions; Axiom expects to use the proceeds to repay Transaction borrowings.
