This relocation is a continuation of the back end process relocation to TT electronics, Mexicali in 2015. http://www.ttelectronicsresistors.com Page 1 of 3
Reason for Change Implementation Plan Customer Impact The relocation helps mitigate rising production costs for the Thickfilm Product Line Series. TT electronics will build 3 months of safety stock through December 31, 2016. Dual site capability, dual site safety stock build, training and validation will be established in Mexicali prior to the Corpus disconnect date. Corpus will temporarily retain process capability for key processes throughout the move as risk mitigation. Dual site capability and dual site safety stock build in Mexicali and Corpus minimize risk for this transfer. On January 4, 2017, equipment will be disconnected and relocated to Mexicali. TT electronics will conduct product validation in Mexicali as per AEC - Q200 REV D specifications and requirements. TT electronics will notify customers via PCN-2016-RBU04. The 3 month safety stock, dual site capability, standardized training and integrated Program Management teams will prevent any supply chain disruptions to the customer.

Project Description PCN is the relocation of the front end Thickfilm processes from TT electronics IRC, Corpus Christi to TT electronics IRC, Mexicali. This relocation is a continuation of the back end Thickfilm process relocation to TT electronics IRC, Mexicali in 2015 as part of Phases 1 & 2. The project is in Execution phase and both sending and receiving sites are developing their schedule of deliverables and action items. The ultimate intended outcome of the project is to transfer Thickfilm (Product Line) to Mexicali with absolute minimum interruption to our customers within our timeline and on budget. Project has been initially announced in June of 2016. Sending and Receiving teams have been kicked off to deliver a quality transition. 2 TT Electronics plc
