Benefits under these plans are primarily based on years of service and compensation during the years immediately preceding retirement or termination of participation in the plans. In addition, the Company provides postemployment benefits to former or inactive employees after employment but before retirement in certain foreign subsidiaries. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, net pension costs were $911 and $1,909, respectively. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015, net pension costs were $901 and $3,281, respectively.

Employees of SYNNEX Infotec were also covered by a multi-employer plan until fiscal year 2015. The Company recognized expense for this plan based on scheduled employer contributions.

During three and nine months ended August 31, 2015, the Company contributed $138 and $432 to the plan, respectively.

During the year ended November 30, 2015, the Company recorded $2,277 toward its funding obligations under this new plan. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, the Company contributed $90 and $252 to the defined contribution plan. The Company has a 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) under which eligible employees may contribute up to the maximum amount as provided by law. Employees become eligible to participate in the Plan on the first day of the month after their employment date. The Company may make discretionary contributions under the Plan. During three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, the Company contributed $898 and $2,704, respectively. During three and nine months ended August 31, 2015, the Company contributed $839 and $2,491, respectively. The Company has a deferred compensation plan for certain directors and officers. Distributions under the plan are subject to Section 409A of the United States Tax Code. The Company may invest balances in the plan in trading securities reported on recognized exchanges. As of August 31, 2016 and November 30, 2015, the deferred compensation liability balance was $8,247 and $8,100, respectively. |
