TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 8.01. Other Events
As previously reported on the Report on Form 8-K filed by Flextronics International Ltd.
(Flextronics) on September 5, 2006, Flextronics and International DisplayWorks, Inc. (IDW)
issued a press release announcing that the two companies have entered into a definitive agreement
for Flextronics to acquire IDW, subject to customary closing conditions, including IDW stockholder
approval and certain regulatory approvals (the Merger Agreement). A copy of the Merger Agreement
was included as an exhibit to the Report on Form 8-K filed by IDW on September 6, 2006. A copy of
the Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by
reference.
Cautionary Statement
A copy of the Merger Agreement has been attached as an exhibit to this Report on Form 8-K to
provide investors with information regarding its terms. Except for its status as a legal document
governing the contractual rights among the parties thereto in
relation to the proposed merger and the other
transactions contemplated thereby, the Merger Agreement is not intended to be a source of factual,
business or operational information about IDW, Flextronics or their respective businesses.
The representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement are not necessarily accurate
or complete as made and may be subject to exceptions set forth in the disclosure schedules provided
in accordance with the Merger Agreement. Such representations, warranties and covenants have been
negotiated by IDW and Flextronics for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the
parties, including where the parties do not have complete knowledge of all the facts, and not for
the purpose of establishing matters as facts. The representations and warranties may also be
subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to
investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement and any
shareholder of IDW or Flextronics or any potential investor should not rely on the representations,
warranties and covenants therein or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual
state of facts or condition of the parties or any of their affiliates.

In connection with the proposed merger, Flextronics intends to file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the SEC) a registration statement on Form S-4 that will contain a Proxy

making any voting or investment decision with respect to the proposed acquisition.
This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to sell or
the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in
any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration
or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall
be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended.
Participants in the Solicitation:
IDW and its directors and executive officers, and Flextronics and its directors and executive
officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the stockholders of
IDW in connection with the proposed acquisition. Information regarding the special interests of
these directors and executive officers in the proposed transaction will be included in the Proxy
Statement/Prospectus referred to above. Additional information regarding the directors and
executive officers of Flextronics is also included in Flextronics proxy statement (Form DEF 14A)
