  Merger Agreement

On March 22, 2021, the Company announced that it had entered into a merger agreement to acquire 100% of the parent company of Tech Data Corporation, a Delaware Corporation ("Tech Data") in a cash and stock transaction (the "Merger"). The consideration payable to the stockholder that owns Tech Data in connection with the Merger (the “Merger Consideration”) consists of $1,610,000 of cash and 44,000 shares of common stock of SYNNEX, plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares of SYNNEX stock, without interest. Following the proposed Merger, the sole stockholder of Tech Data will own approximately 45% of SYNNEX stock on a fully diluted basis, based on our shares outstanding as of February 28, 2021. If the Merger is not consummated, then under certain circumstances the Company would be obligated to pay Tech Data a termination fee ranging from $40,867 to $131,683. Either party can terminate the Merger agreement if certain matters are not approved by the SYNNEX’ stockholders, in which case, SYNNEX may be obligated to pay Tech Data a fee equal to the reasonable fees, costs and other expenses directly related to the Merger, or in certain circumstances, the termination fee.

The Merger is expected to create a global IT distribution leader with significant breadth and depth of product offerings, services and logistic capabilities. For the twelve months ended January 31, 2020, Tech Data generated approximately $37 billion in revenue and approximately $375 million of net income.

Completion of the Merger is subject to the approval by the Company's stockholders of the shares to be issued as consideration and related amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, approval by the New York Stock Exchange of the listing of the SYNNEX stock to be issued as consideration, and other customary closing conditions, including expiration of the federal Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 waiting period and certain foreign regulatory approvals. The Company expects the transaction to close in the second half of the calendar year 2021.

 

  Debt Commitment Letter

In connection with the Merger, the Company entered into a debt commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”), dated March 22, 2021, with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citi”), pursuant to which Citi has committed to provide (i) a $4,000,000 364-day senior unsecured term bridge facility and (ii) a $3,500,000 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit facility, each subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions including the consummation of the proposed Merger (the “Bridge Facility”). The Bridge Facility is available to (i) pay for a portion of the Merger Consideration, (ii) directly or indirectly pay, repay, repurchase, or settle, as applicable, certain existing indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries and Tech Data and its subsidiaries, and (iii) to pay the costs and expenses related to the Mergers, the Bridge Facility and the transactions being entered into or otherwise contemplated in connection therewith.

If the Company utilizes the Bridge Facility, amounts drawn thereunder will bear interest at an annual rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin which may initially range from 1.125% to 1.750%, depending on SYNNEX’ debt rating, which margin will be increased by 0.25% for each 90 days that elapse after the closing of the Bridge Facility. The Company will pay commitment fees on the undrawn amount of this commitment ranging from 0.125% to 0.300% based upon SYNNEX’ debt rating. The Company will pay certain customary fees and expenses in connection with obtaining the Bridge Facility.

Additionally, prior to the completion of the proposed merger, the Company's ability to issue dividends outside its normal practice or repurchase shares of common stock is limited.
