Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     On December 3, 2001, Solectron Corporation (“Solectron”) issued a press release announcing that it had completed its acquisition of C-MAC Industries (“C-MAC”) pursuant to a Combination Agreement dated as of August 8, 2001 by and between Solectron, 3924548 Canada Inc., a Canadian subsidiary of Solectron, and C-MAC, as amended by an amendment dated as of September 7, 2001 between Solectron, Solectron Global Services Canada Inc., a Canadian subsidiary of Solectron (“Exchangeco”), 3924548 Canada Inc. and C-MAC (the “Combination Agreement”). The Combination Agreement is listed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference, and Amendment No. 1 to the Combination Agreement is listed as Exhibit 2.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

     Pursuant to the Combination Agreement, the holders of common shares of C-MAC received either 1.755 shares of common stock of Solectron or, at the option of certain Canadian resident shareholders of C-MAC, 1.755 exchangeable shares of Exchangeco for each common share of C-MAC held by them, and Solectron thereby acquired all of the outstanding shares of C-MAC capital stock. Each exchangeable share is (a) exchangeable for one share of Solectron common stock, (b) entitles its holder to receive dividends economically equivalent to dividends paid on Solectron’s common stock, (c) entitles its holder to participate in any liquidation of Solectron on the same basis as holders of Solectron common stock and (d) pursuant to a trust agreement in which a share of special voting stock of Solectron was deposited, carries the right to vote at meetings of the stockholders of Solectron.

     The transactions contemplated by the Combination Agreement are intended to allow Canadian shareholders of C-MAC who are residents of Canada for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) the opportunity to dispose of their C-MAC common shares on a tax-deferred or “roll-over” basis for Canadian income tax purposes. The transactions contemplated by the Combination Agreement constitute a taxable acquisition of the assets C-MAC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and therefore are taxable to U.S. shareholders of C-MAC.

Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

        (a)    Financial statements of businesses acquired.

     Solectron will file financial statements under cover of Form 8-K/A no later than February 14, 2002 (60 days after this Report is required to be filed).
