Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 4, 2016, Plexus Corp. (the "Company") and Plexus Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd. ("Plexus Malaysia") entered into a Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (the "RPA") with The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., New York Branch (the "Purchaser").

Pursuant to the RPA, the Company, Plexus Malaysia and one or more additional Plexus subsidiaries that may be designed in the future (each, a "Seller") may sell to the Purchaser up to an aggregate of U.S. $100.0 million in accounts receivable owed to such Sellers by specified customers; each Seller grants the Purchaser a security interest in all of its current and future receivables from such customers. In exchange, the Purchaser pays a purchase price for each purchased receivable equal to the net face value of the receivable less an agreed upon discount. The parties intend that each purchase and sale under the RPA be an absolute and irrevocable transfer constituting a "true sale" for bankruptcy law purposes, without recourse by the Purchaser to any Seller, except under very limited circumstances described in the RPA. The facility represented by the RPA is non-committed, meaning that the Company and each other Seller acknowledge that they have not paid a commitment or comparable fee to the Purchaser, and that the Purchaser does not have a continuing obligation to purchase any receivable from any Seller.

The Purchaser will pay an agreed-upon servicing fee to each Seller with respect to each purchased receivable sold by such Seller, consistent with common market practices.

The RPA contains representations, warranties, covenants, and termination events that are customary for factoring transactions of this type.

A copy of the Receivable Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
