Highlight of Business Operations:

Portfolio of market-leading connectivity businesses. We are leaders in many of the markets we serve, and the opportunity for growth in those markets is significant. We believe our four segments serve a combined $70 billion market that is expected to grow to $100 billion in the next five years. Global leader in passive components. With net sales of approximately $12.1 billion in fiscal 2010, we are significantly larger than many of our competitors. In the fragmented connector industry, which we estimated to be $42 billion in fiscal 2010, our net sales were approximately $8 billion. We have established a global leadership position in the connector industry with leading market positions in the following markets: Automotive#1 Industrial#1 Telecom/data communications#3 Computers and peripherals#4 Our scale provides us the opportunity to accelerate our sales growth by making larger investments in existing and new technologies in our core markets and to expand our presence in emerging markets. Our leadership position also provides us the opportunity to lower our purchasing costs by developing lower cost sources of supply and to maintain a flexible manufacturing footprint worldwide that is close to our customers' locations.

Process and product technology leadership. We employ approximately 7,000 engineers dedicated to product research, development, and engineering. Our investment of $585 million in product and process engineering and development together with our capital spending of $385 million in fiscal 2010, enable us to consistently provide innovative, high-quality products with efficient manufacturing methods. Diverse product mix and customer base. We manufacture and sell a broad portfolio of products to customers in various industries. Our customers include many of the leaders in their respective industries, and our relationships with them typically date back many years. We believe that this diversified customer base provides us an opportunity to leverage our skills and experience across markets and reduces our exposure to particular end markets, thereby reducing the variability of our financial performance. Additionally, we believe that the diversity of our customer base reduces the level of cyclicality in our results and distinguishes us from our competitors. Balanced geographic sales mix. We have an established manufacturing presence in over 20 countries and our sales are global. Our global coverage positions us near our customers' locations and allows us to assist them in consolidating their supply base and lowering their production costs. We believe our balanced sales distribution lowers our exposure to any particular geography and improves our financial profile. Strong and experienced management team. We believe we have a management team that has the experience necessary to effectively execute our strategy and advance our product and technology leadership. Our Chief Executive Officer and segment leaders average more than 20 years of experience of which most is in the electronics industry. They are supported by an experienced and talented management team that is dedicated to maintaining and expanding our position as a global leader in the industry. Our Strategy

Achieve market leadership in attractive and under-penetrated industries. We plan to accelerate growth in end-user markets in which we do not have the number one market share but which we believe have attractive growth and profitability characteristics. These markets include: the alternate energy and lighting markets with respect to our Electronic Components segment; the energy, communication service providers, and enterprise networks markets with respect to our Network Solutions segment; and the aerospace, defense, and marine, touch systems, and medical markets with respect to our Specialty Products segment. We believe that we can further leverage our customer service and our new product and technology capabilities in order to achieve a leading position in these markets. Extend our leadership in emerging markets. We seek to improve our market leadership position in emerging geographic regions, including China, Eastern Europe, Brazil, and India, which we expect will experience higher growth rates than those of more developed regions in the world. In fiscal 2010, we generated $1.9 billion of net sales in China, $0.9 billion of net sales in Eastern Europe, $0.3 billion of net sales in Brazil, and $0.2 billion of net sales in India. We believe that expansion in these regions will enable us to grow faster than the overall global market. Supplement organic growth with strategic partnerships and acquisitions. We will evaluate and selectively pursue strategic partnerships and acquisitions that strengthen our market position, enhance our existing product offering, enable us to enter attractive markets, expand our technological capabilities, and provide synergy opportunities.
