| Commitments and contingencies | 13. Commitments and contingencies Bank guarantees At December 28, 2012 and June 29, 2012, there were outstanding bank guarantees given by banks on behalf of Fabrinet Thailand for electricity usage and other normal business amounting to $686 and $660, respectively.
Operating lease commitments The Group leases a portion of its capital equipment, and certain land and buildings for its facilities in Thailand, China and New Jersey, under operating lease arrangements that expire in various calendar years through 2015. Rental expense under these operating leases amounted to $390 and $996 for the six months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011, respectively. On March 23, 2012, the Group notified its landlord of its intent to terminate the lease agreement for land and buildings at its Chokchai campus in Thailand, effective on April 30, 2012. As of December 28, 2012, the future minimum lease payments due under non-cancelable leases were as follows at the end of each fiscal year below:
Purchase obligations Purchase obligations represent legally-binding commitments to purchase inventory and other commitments made in the normal course of business to meet operational requirements. Although open purchase orders are considered enforceable and legally binding, the terms generally give the Group the option to cancel, reschedule and/or adjust its requirements based on its business needs prior to the delivery of goods or performance of services. Obligations to purchase inventory and other commitments are generally expected to be fulfilled within one year. As of December 28, 2012, there were no outstanding capital expenditure commitments. Indemnification of directors and officers Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of directors and officers, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. The Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide for indemnification of directors and officers for actions, costs, charges, losses, damages and expenses incurred in their capacities as such, except that such indemnification does not extend to any matter in respect of any fraud or dishonesty that may attach to any of them. In accordance with the Company’s form of indemnification agreement for its directors and officers, the Company has agreed to indemnify its directors and officers against certain liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with claims by reason of their being such a director or officer. The Company has a director and officer liability insurance policy that may enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid under the indemnification agreements. |
