INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

     Solectron Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby amends the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (“Schedule TO”) originally filed on April 8, 2004 and amended on April 13, 2004, in connection with its offer to exchange up to a maximum of 41,800,000 of its outstanding 7.25% Adjustable Conversion-Rate Equity Security Units (the “Equity Security Units”) issued in December 2001 for shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), and cash upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Confidential Offering Memorandum, dated April 8, 2004 (the “Offering Memorandum”), and the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are attached as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B) hereto, respectively (which, together with any supplements or amendments thereto, constitute the “Early Settlement Offer”). For each Equity Security Unit, the Company will deliver (1) 2.5484 shares of Common Stock and (2) cash in the amount of $1.97, all as further described in the Offering Memorandum. A purchase contract for the Company’s shares of Common Stock is a component of each of the Equity Security Units, and the Company is conducting this offering for the Equity Security Units as a means of effecting early settlement of the embedded purchase contracts and the early retirement of the debentures that are currently pledged to secure settlement of the embedded purchase contracts on November 15, 2004.
