Voting and Solicitation

      Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share held as of the Record Date. Stockholders will not be entitled to cumulate their votes in the election of directors.

      The required quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting is a majority of the votes eligible to be cast by holders of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the Record Date. Shares that are voted “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” are treated as being present at the meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum and are also treated as shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting (the “Votes Cast”) with respect to such matter.

      While there is no definitive statutory or case law authority in Delaware as to the proper treatment of abstentions, Sanmina-SCI believes that abstentions should be counted for purposes of determining both (i) the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business and (ii) the total number of Votes Cast with respect to a proposal (other than the election of directors). In the absence of a controlling precedent to the contrary, Sanmina-SCI intends to treat abstentions in this manner. Accordingly, abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal.

      Brokers may indicate on the enclosed proxy or its substitute that they do not have discretionary authority as to certain shares to vote on a particular matter for which they have not received specific instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares (“broker non-votes”). In a 1988 Delaware case, Berlin v. Emerald Partners, the Delaware Supreme Court held that, while broker non-votes should be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business, broker non-votes should not be counted for purposes of determining the number of Votes Cast with respect to the particular proposal on which the broker has expressly not voted. Accordingly, we intend to treat broker non-votes in this manner. Thus, a broker non-vote will not have any effect on the outcome of the voting on a proposal.

      Except as described in the preceding paragraph, any proxy which is returned using the form of proxy enclosed and which is not marked as to a particular item will be voted for all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders at the Annual Meeting pursuant to this proxy statement. In addition, the proxy holders will vote as the proxy holders deem advisable, on other matters that may come before the meeting, as the case may be with respect to the items not marked.

      The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by us. We may retain the services of our transfer agent, Wells Fargo Shareholder Services, or other proxy solicitors to solicit proxies, for which we estimate that we would pay fees not to exceed an aggregate of $20,000. In addition, we expect to reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of shares for their expense in forwarding solicitation material to such beneficial owners. Proxies may be solicited by certain of our directors, officers and regular employees, without additional compensation, in person or by telephone or facsimile.

Stockholder Proposals for 2005 Annual Meeting

      Proposals that are intended to be presented by our stockholders at the 2005 Annual Meeting must be received by us at our principal executive offices no later than August 20, 2004 in order that they may be included in the proxy statement and form of proxy relating to that meeting. Under our bylaws, a proposal that a stockholder does not seek to include in the Company’s proxy materials for fiscal 2005 but that may still be properly brought before the fiscal 2005 annual meeting must be delivered to the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal executive offices not less than 45 or more than 75 days prior to December 19, 2004; provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than 30 days prior to or delayed by more than 30 days after January 26, 2005, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or (ii) the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.

      The Audit Committee reviews and monitors our corporate financial reporting and external audit, including, among other things, our control functions, the results and scope of the annual audit and other services provided by our independent auditors and our compliance with legal matters that have a significant impact on our financial reports. The Audit Committee also reviews and monitors our internal audit function and receives regular reports from the internal audit department.

In addition, the Audit Committee is responsible for considering and recommending the appointment of our independent auditors. The Audit Committee held eight meetings in the last fiscal year. All members of the Audit Committee are independent (as independence is defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the listing standards for the Nasdaq Stock Market, the principal trading market of our Common Stock).

In addition to those amounts, in fiscal 2004 each Outside Director attending a committee meeting held on a day not involving a meeting of the Board will receive an additional payment of $1,500 per meeting.

      In June 2002, the Board approved the establishment of the Sanmina-SCI Deferred Compensation Plan for Outside Directors, which provides eligible directors an opportunity to defer payment of all or part of their compensation payable to them for acting as our directors. The directors are also reimbursed for travel and related expenses incurred by them in attending board and committee meetings.

      Upon first becoming a director, each new Outside Director is eligible for a discretionary stock option grant to purchase up to 20,000 shares of Common Stock under our 1999 Stock Option Plan.

      The Board of Directors confirmed the Audit Committee’s selection of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors to audit the financial statements of Sanmina-SCI for the fiscal year ending October 2, 2004. The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock represented at the meeting and voting is necessary to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors. In the event of a negative vote, the Board of Directors will reconsider its selection. Representatives of KPMG LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, with the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

      On April 18, 2002, the Audit Committee determined that it would replace Arthur Andersen LLP as our independent auditors and engaged KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year 2002. During our fiscal year ended September 29, 2001 and the interim period from September 30, 2001 through April 18, 2002, there were no disagreements between us and Arthur Andersen LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Arthur Andersen LLP’s satisfaction, would have caused Arthur Andersen LLP to make reference to the

      During our fiscal year ended September 29, 2001, and in the interim period from September 30, 2001 through April 18, 2002, we have not consulted with KPMG LLP regarding (i) either the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to us that KPMG LLP concluded was an important factor in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) the subject of any disagreement, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions or reportable event.

      The following is a summary of fees paid to KPMG for the years ended September 27, 2003 and September 28, 2002:

Audit Fees

      The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by KPMG for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements, statutory audits, and the reviews of the condensed consolidated financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the years ended September 27, 2003 and September 28, 2002 were as follows:

Audit-Related Fees

      The aggregate fees billed for non-audit services, exclusive of the fees disclosed above relating to audit fees, rendered by KPMG during the fiscal years ended September 27, 2003 and September 28, 2002 are set forth in the table below. These services include the reaudit of our fiscal 2001 and 2000 consolidated financial statements, assistance and audit report consent issuance for various filings with the SEC and other services.

Tax Fees

      The aggregate fees billed for tax services rendered by KPMG during the fiscal years ended September 27, 2003 and September 28, 2002 are set forth below. These services consisted primarily of tax compliance and tax consultation services.

All Other Fees

      The aggregate fees billed for all other services, exclusive of the fees disclosed above relating to audit and non-audit fees, rendered by KPMG during the fiscal years ended September 27, 2003 and September 28, 2002 are set forth below. These other services in fiscal 2003 consisted primarily of assistance with Sanmina-SCI’s initiative to document key internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and audits of our benefit plans.

      The Audit Committee has concluded that the non-audit services provided by KPMG are compatible with maintaining the independence of KPMG.

Audit Committee Pre-approval Policy with respect to Audit and Permissable Non-Audit Services

      All audit and non-audit services provided by the Company’s independent auditors require prior approval of the Audit Committee, with limited exceptions as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. Management periodically reports to the audit committee services for which the independent auditors have been engaged and the aggregate fees incurred and to be incurred. During fiscal 2003, all services provided by the independent auditors were pre-approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with this policy.

      OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS VOTING “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF KPMG LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING OCTOBER 2, 2004.

Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

      The principal purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in its general oversight of the company’s financial reporting process. The Audit Committee’s purpose is more fully described in its charter, which the Audit Committee reviews on an annual basis. Under this charter, the Audit Committee consists of at least three directors, all of whom must qualify as independent directors under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Audit Committee currently consists of directors Neil Bonke, John Bolger and Bernard Vonderschmitt.

      The Audit Committee recommends to the Board of Directors, subject to stockholder ratification, the selection of KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as our independent auditors for fiscal year 2004.

      Management is responsible for the internal controls and the financial reporting process. KPMG, our independent auditors, are responsible for performing an independent audit of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes.

      The Audit Committee has reviewed the audited financial statements for fiscal 2003 and has met and held discussions with management regarding the audited financial statements. Management has represented to the Audit Committee that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

      The Audit Committee discussed with KPMG the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. The Audit Committee met with KPMG, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of our internal controls, and the overall quality of our financial reporting.

      The Audit Committee reviewed with KPMG their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of our accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 “Communication with Audit Committees.” KPMG also provided

      Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors (and the Board of Directors approved) that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2003 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee has also approved, subject to stockholder ratification, the selection of KPMG as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending October 2, 2004.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Tables

      Summary Compensation Table. The following table sets forth the compensation paid by us to the Chief Executive Officer and each of the four other most highly compensated executive officers of Sanmina-SCI, for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended September 27, 2003.

(1)	Includes car allowance, premium payments for executive life, medical and dental insurance and company 401(k) matching contributions.

      Option Grants in Last Fiscal Year. The following table sets forth each grant of stock options made during the fiscal year ended September 27, 2003 to each executive officer named in the Summary Compensation Table above.

(1)	The exercise price and tax withholding obligations related to exercise may in some cases, be paid by delivery of other shares or by offset of the shares subject to the options.
(2)	The dollar amounts under these columns are the result of calculations at the 5% and 10% rates set by the SEC and therefore are not intended to forecast possible future appreciation, if any, of our stock price. We did not use an alternative formula for a grant date valuation. We do not believe that any formula will determine with reasonable accuracy a present value based on future unknown or volatile factors.

      Aggregate Option Exercises in Last Fiscal Year and Fiscal Year-End Values. The following table sets forth, for each of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table above, each exercise of stock options during the fiscal year ended September 27, 2003 and the year-end value of unexercised options:

(1)	Represents the fair market value of the ordinary shares underlying the option on the date of exercise less the aggregate exercise price of the option.

      Stock Option Exchange. The following table sets forth the details of the participation of each named executive officer eligible to participate in the Company’s voluntary stock option exchange program implemented by the Company on February 3, 2003:

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

      The following report is provided to stockholders by the members of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

Compensation Committee Report

      Compensation Philosophy. The goals of our executive compensation program are to attract and retain executive officers who will strive for excellence, and to motivate those individuals to achieve performance superior to the Company’s peer group of companies by providing them with rewards for assisting Sanmina-SCI in meeting revenue and profitability targets. The salary component of an executive officer’s compensation is generally designed to be set at the mid-point for the Company’s peer group of companies, and overall compensation for an executive officer is generally designed to be set in the upper-quartile of that same group. The Compensation Committee considered both major technology and manufacturing companies to be within the Company’s peer group.

      Compensation for our executive officers consists of base salary and potential cash bonus, as well as potential long-term incentive compensation through stock options or other stock-based awards. During fiscal 2003, the Company instituted a restricted stock award program under which executive officers and other personnel were awarded restricted stock that will vest on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant. Vesting can be accelerated if the market price of the Company’s Common Stock achieves certain targets as compared to the market capitalization of other electronics manufacturing services companies. The Compensation Committee considers the total current and potential long-term compensation of each executive officer in establishing each element of compensation.

      Cash-Based Compensation. Each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee reviews with the chief executive officer and approves, with appropriate modifications, an annual base salary plan for our executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer. This base salary plan is based on industry and peer group surveys and performance judgments as to the past and expected future contributions of the individual executive officers.

      The Compensation Committee then separately reviews and fixes the base salary of the chief executive officer based on similar competitive compensation data and the Committee’s assessment of his past performance and its expectation as to his future contributions in leading Sanmina-SCI.

      Stock Options and Restricted Stock Awards. During each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee considers the desirability of granting to executive officers awards under our 1999 Incentive Stock Plan, which allows for the grant of longer-term incentives in the form of stock options. In fixing the grants of stock options

      Chief Executive Officer Compensation. In determining the compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Jure Sola, the Committee considered a variety of factors. In particular, the Committee reviewed a range of comparative compensation data for both technology companies and manufacturing companies. The Committee also considered the Chief Executive Officer’s performance during fiscal 2003. In fiscal 2003, which was a difficult economic environment for the electronics manufacturing industry and the electronics sector as a whole, the Committee determined that the leadership of the Chief Executive Officer enabled the Company to achieve several significant objectives. The Company reduced general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales, disposed of redundant facilities while maintaining capacity for future growth, refinanced the debt portion of the Company’s capital structure, paid down significant portions of the Company’s debt, implemented a customer and market focus strategy and management organization and succeeded in achieving several significant new program wins from customers. Based on these factors, which include the Chief Executive Officer’s performance, the Committee approved the Chief Executive Officer’s fiscal 2003 bonus, fiscal 2004 salary adjustment and stock options and restricted stock awards.

      Stock Option Exchange. On February 3, 2003, Sanmina-SCI implemented a voluntary stock option exchange program, or the Option Exchange, whereby eligible employees could exchange their outstanding options to purchase shares of common stock with an exercise price per share of $11.00 or more granted under the Company’s employee stock option plans. The Option Exchange allowed certain employees, including Hari Pillai, President and General Manager, EMS Division, and Stephen F. Bruton, President and General Manager, PCB Fabrication Division, to choose whether to keep their current stock options at their current price, or to rescind those options in exchange for a new option for the same number of shares to be granted on or about September 12, 2003. The new options have terms and conditions that are substantially the same as those of the cancelled options. Non-employee members of the board of directors and the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer were not eligible for the Option Exchange. The total number of shares exchanged under the Option Exchange was 20,648,641. The average price per share of the options cancelled was $20.59 and the new option price granted under the Option Exchange was $8.85 per share. Both Mr. Pillai and Mr. Bruton participated in the Option Exchange. Please refer to the option repricing table on page 13 for more information regarding Mr. Pillai’s and Mr. Bruton’s participation in the Option Exchange.

      During fiscal 2003, Mario M. Rosati, a nominee for election to our Board of Directors, and Christopher D. Mitchell, our secretary, were also members of the law firm of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation, Palo Alto, California (“WSGR”). We retained WSGR as our legal counsel during the fiscal year. The legal fees paid to WSGR were less than 5% of WSGR’s total gross revenues for its last completed fiscal year. We plan to retain WSGR as our legal counsel again during fiscal 2004.

      In April 2002, we entered into a promissory note agreement with Randy W. Furr, our President, Chief Operating Officer and nominee for election to our Board of Directors, for $425,000 plus interest at 5.25% per annum. The purpose of the note was to provide funds to pay income taxes related to company stock options exercised by Mr. Furr. In October 2002, the Compensation Committee approved the payment of an extraordinary bonus to repay the $425,000 principal amount of the note plus accrued interest of $13,016. The extraordinary bonus has been offset against Mr. Furr’s fiscal 2003 bonus of $350,000 and the balance will be offset against future bonus awards. Mr. Furr used the proceeds of the extraordinary bonus to repay the loan. Consistent with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Sanmina-SCI has adopted a policy prohibiting future loans to officers and directors.

      As of December 6, 2001, Sanmina Corporation and SCI Systems, Inc. entered into an employment agreement with A. Eugene Sapp for a period of one year in connection with the merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sanmina Corporation with and into SCI Systems, Inc. to form Sanmina-SCI. On December 5, 2002, Sanmina-SCI extended the term of Mr. Sapp’s employment agreement until December 6, 2003. Mr. Sapp has served as a member of Sanmina-SCI’s board of directors since December 2001. Mr. Sapp also served as the co-chairman of Sanmina-SCI’s Board of Directors from December 6, 2001 until December 6, 2002.

(2)	Of these shares, 784,150 shares remain available for grant under the 2000 Plan, 351,875 shares remain available for grant under the 1999 French Addendum Plan and 92,236 shares remain available for grant under the 1996 Supplemental Plan.
(3)	We have options outstanding under certain option plans which were assumed by us in connection with business combinations with companies with which we merged or acquired (the “Assumed Plans”). Total stock options exercisable under these plans are 4,760,104 shares. These option plans have a weighted average exercise price of $13.43 per share. Options under the Assumed Plans have been converted into our options and adjusted to reflect the appropriate conversion ratio as specified by the applicable acquisition agreement, but are otherwise administered in accordance with the terms of the Assumed Plans. Options under the Assumed Plans generally vest over four years and expire 10 years from the date of grant. Options available for grant under the Assumed Plans totaling 9,562,706 shares are included in the above table.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

      The members of the Board of Directors, our executive officers and persons who hold more than 10% of our outstanding Common Stock are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which require them to file reports with respect to their ownership of the Common Stock and their transactions in such Common Stock. Based upon (i) the copies of Section 16(a) reports which we received from such persons for their 2003 Fiscal Year transactions in the Common Stock and their Common Stock holdings, and (ii) the written representations received from one or more of such persons that no annual Form 5 reports were required to be filed by them for the 2003 Fiscal Year, we believe that all reporting requirements under Section 16(a) for such fiscal year were met in a timely manner by our directors, executive officers and greater than 10% beneficial owners with the following exceptions: Mr. Ackel, Mr. Bruton, Mr. Clarke, Mr. Pillai and Mr. Sola each did not timely file a Form 4 and Mr. Sapp did not timely file Forms 4 on two occasions. Subsequently, such Form 4 reports have been filed.
