SANMINA CORP

The proposal asks Sanmina’s Board to adopt a lasting policy (and amend governing documents if necessary) to ensure the offices of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer are held by two different people and that the Chairman be an independent director. It specifies that a Lead Independent Director is not an acceptable substitute and allows the Board to appoint a non-independent interim Chairman only while an independent Chairman is being appointed. The proponent suggests the policy could be phased in at the next CEO contract renewal or leadership transition. The stated rationale is that an independent chair would provide impartial oversight, reduce conflicts of interest, strengthen management accountability, enhance transparency and increase investor confidence.
