results of operations and business of Avnet. These statements are based on management&#146;s current expectations and are subject to uncertainties and changes in factual circumstances. Because forward-looking statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by them. You can find many of these statements by looking for words like &#147;believes,&#148; &#147;plans,&#148; &#147;expects,&#148; &#147;anticipates,&#148;

that occur after the date on which the statement is made. The following factors and the &#147;Risk Factors&#148; beginning on page&nbsp;S-7 of this prospectus supplement and in our Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the fiscal year ended
June&nbsp;30, 2012, incorporated herein by reference, as well as other potential risks and uncertainties that are discussed in our reports and documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;), could affect

distributors, based on sales, of electronic components, enterprise computer and storage products and embedded subsystems. Avnet creates a vital link in the technology supply chain that connects the world&#146;s leading electronic component and
computer product manufacturers and software developers with a global customer base of original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, electronic manufacturing services providers, original design manufacturers and value-added resellers, or VARs. Avnet

Europe, the Middle East and Africa; and Asia/Pacific, consisting of Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Each operating group has its own management team led by a group president and includes a regional president and senior executives within the
operating group who manage the various functions within the businesses. Each operating group also has distinct financial reporting that is evaluated at the corporate level on which operating decisions and strategic planning for the company as a
whole are made. Divisions exist within each operating group that serve primarily as sales and marketing units to further streamline the sales and marketing efforts within each operating group and enhance each operating group&#146;s ability to work
with its customers and suppliers, generally along more specific product lines or geographies. However, each division relies heavily on the support services provided by the operating group as well as centralized support at the corporate level.

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>An investment in the notes involves risks.&nbsp;You should carefully consider the following risk factors relating to the offering of
the notes, including the information under &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in our Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the fiscal year ended June&nbsp;30, 2012, before making an investment in the notes. You also should carefully consider any other
discussion of risks or uncertainties contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See &#147;Forward-Looking Statements&#148; in this prospectus supplement. Avnet&#146;s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the
forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks described below and elsewhere in this prospectus supplement. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to Avnet or that Avnet currently believes are
immaterial also may have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations, or could adversely affect the value of the notes offered by this prospectus supplement. </I></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Any secured debt of Avnet will have claims with respect to the secured assets that are superior to that of the notes. </B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The indenture contains a covenant that restricts the incurrence of secured debt, although that restriction is subject to significant
exceptions. Avnet&#146;s other debt instruments permit Avnet and its subsidiaries to incur a substantial amount of indebtedness that can be secured by Avnet&#146;s assets. Any secured debt issued by Avnet will be superior to the notes. In the event
of a bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or similar proceeding, Avnet&#146;s pledged assets would be available to satisfy obligations of the secured debt before any payment could be made on the notes. To the extent that these assets
cannot satisfy in full Avnet&#146;s secured debt, the holders of such debt would have a claim for any shortfall that would rank equally in right of payment with the notes. In that event, Avnet may not have sufficient assets remaining to pay amounts
due on any or all of the notes. At September&nbsp;29, 2012, Avnet did not have any outstanding consolidated secured debt; however, it may issue secured debt in the future and such secured debt will have a right of payment superior to that of the
notes. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Additionally, under Avnet&#146;s accounts receivable securitization program, Avnet is able to sell on an ongoing basis
most of its domestic trade accounts receivables to a bankruptcy remote subsidiary, which, in turn, sells a portion of these receivables to a bank conduit. Receivables sold under the securitization program, and the proceeds from these receivables,
will not be available for repayment of the notes and the indenture governing the notes does not restrict Avnet&#146;s ability to securitize its receivables. At September&nbsp;29, 2012, Avnet had $711.0 million in borrowings outstanding under its
securitization program. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>The claims of creditors of Avnet&#146;s subsidiaries are superior to the claims of Avnet&#146;s equity interests
in its subsidiaries. </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Avnet&#146;s equity interest in its subsidiaries is subordinate to any debt and other liabilities
and commitments, including trade payables and lease obligations, of Avnet&#146;s subsidiaries, whether or not secured. The notes will not be guaranteed by Avnet&#146;s subsidiaries and Avnet may not have direct access to the assets of its
subsidiaries unless these assets are transferred by dividend or otherwise to Avnet. At September&nbsp;29, 2012, Avnet&#146;s subsidiary debt to which the notes would effectively be subordinated totaled $249.4&nbsp;million. Most of Avnet&#146;s
subsidiary debt is guaranteed by Avnet. Avnet&#146;s subsidiaries also have the ability to borrow an additional $400.0&nbsp;million under various lines of credit, which are cancelable on short-term notice. The ability of the subsidiaries to pay
dividends or otherwise transfer assets to Avnet is subject to various restrictions under applicable law. Avnet&#146;s right to receive assets of any of its subsidiaries upon the subsidiary&#146;s liquidation or reorganization is subordinated
effectively to the claim of that subsidiary&#146;s creditors. As noteholders&#146; claims to the assets of Avnet&#146;s subsidiaries are derivative of Avnet&#146;s equity claims in its subsidiaries, the claims of Avnet&#146;s subsidiaries&#146;
creditors are superior to any claims of the noteholders to any assets of Avnet&#146;s subsidiaries and any subsidiaries that Avnet may in the future acquire or establish. </FONT></P>

underwriters have advised Avnet that they presently intend to make a market in the notes as permitted by applicable law. However, the underwriters are not obligated to make a market in the notes and may cease their market-making activities at any
time at their discretion without notice. In addition, the liquidity of the trading market in the notes, and the market price quoted for the notes, may be adversely affected by changes in the overall market for securities and by changes in the
financial performance or prospects of Avnet and/or companies in Avnet&#146;s industry generally. As a result, Avnet cannot assure you that an active trading market will develop or be maintained for the notes, in which case the market price and
liquidity of the notes may be adversely affected. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>The indenture does not restrict the amount of additional debt that Avnet may incur.

permit Avnet to incur secured debt under specified circumstances, and permit Avnet&#146;s subsidiaries to incur debt, whether secured or unsecured, without restriction. The incurrence of additional debt by Avnet or any of its subsidiaries may have
important consequences for noteholders, including making it more difficult for Avnet to satisfy its obligations with respect to the notes, a loss in the market value of the notes and a risk that the credit rating of the notes is lowered or
withdrawn. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>The indenture and the notes provide only limited protection against significant corporate events that could adversely affect

protection to holders of notes upon the occurrence of certain events involving significant corporate transactions and Avnet&#146;s creditworthiness, these terms are limited and may not be sufficient to protect such holders&#146; investment in the
notes. As described under &#147;Description of the Notes&#151;Change of Control,&#148; upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined herein), each holder of notes will have the right to require Avnet to repurchase all or
any part of such holder&#146;s notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date. However, the definition of the term &#147;Change of Control Triggering Event&#148; is limited
and does not cover a variety of transactions (such as acquisitions by Avnet, recapitalizations or asset sales not constituting the disposition of &#147;all or substantially all&#148; of Avnet&#146;s assets) that could negatively affect the value of
the notes. As a result, holders of notes should be aware that the terms of the indenture and the notes do not restrict Avnet&#146;s ability to engage in, or to otherwise be a party to, various corporate transactions, circumstances and events that
could adversely affect such holders&#146; investment in the notes. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Avnet may be unable to purchase the notes upon a change of control.

assurance that Avnet would have sufficient financial resources available to satisfy its obligations to repurchase the notes. Avnet&#146;s failure to repurchase the notes as required under the indenture governing the notes would result in a default

changes to the accounts of its participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations and may include certain
other organizations, such as the underwriters of the notes. Certain DTC participants or their representatives, together with other entities, own DTC. Indirect access to the DTC system is available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust

Accounts </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Recently enacted legislation imposes withholding taxes on certain types of payments (including interest and
gross proceeds of sales) made to &#147;foreign financial institutions&#148; and certain other non-U.S. entities. Under this legislation, the failure to comply with additional certification, information reporting and other specified requirements
could result in withholding tax being imposed on payments of interest and sales proceeds to U.S. Holders who own notes through foreign accounts or foreign intermediaries and certain Non-U.S. Holders. The legislation imposes a 30% withholding tax on
interest paid on, or gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, notes paid to a foreign financial institution or to a foreign non-financial entity, unless (1)&nbsp;the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and
reporting obligations or (2)&nbsp;the foreign non-financial entity either certifies it does not have any substantial U.S. owners or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial U.S. owner. In addition, if the payee is a foreign
financial institution, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain U.S. persons or U.S.-owned foreign entities, annually report certain information
about such accounts and withhold 30% on payments to account holders whose actions prevent it from complying with these reporting and other requirements. The legislation is effective with respect to payments made after December&nbsp;31, 2012, but
recent IRS guidance and proposed Treasury regulations generally indicate that the 30% withholding tax will only apply to payments of interest made after December&nbsp;31, 2013 and payments of gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of notes
made after December&nbsp;31, 2016. The legislation also contains a grandfathering provision that exempts from withholding any interest on, or gross proceeds from a disposition of, an obligation that is outstanding on March&nbsp;18, 2012, and
proposed Treasury regulations would extend this grandfathering provision to obligations that are outstanding on January&nbsp;1, 2013. Foreign financial institutions in a country that enters into an intergovernmental agreement or bilateral agreement
with the United States may not be subject to some of the requirements described above. This legislation may be subject to further modification, including finalization of proposed regulations, which may result in additional substantive changes to
these rules. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding this legislation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Backup Withholding and Information
Reporting </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">When required, we will provide information statements to Non-U.S.&nbsp;Holders and the IRS reporting interest
paid with respect to the notes. Payments of the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of the notes to Non-U.S.&nbsp;Holders may also be subject to information reporting unless the Non-U.S.&nbsp;Holder complies with certain certification
procedures or otherwise establishes an exemption. Such payments of interest or disposition proceeds may also be subject to backup withholding (currently at a rate of 28%) unless the Non-U.S.&nbsp;Holder is able to establish its exemption from backup
withholding (generally through the provision of an IRS Form&nbsp;W-8BEN.) </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any
amounts withheld from a payment to a holder of notes under the backup withholding rules can be credited against any U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax liability of the holder and may entitle the holder to a refund, provided that the required information
is provided to the IRS. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>The preceding discussion of certain U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax considerations is for general
information only; it is not tax advice. You should consult your own tax advisor regarding the particular U.S.&nbsp;federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of purchasing, holding and disposing of Avnet&#146;s notes, including the

largest industrial distributors, based on sales, of electronic components, enterprise computer and storage products and embedded subsystems. We create a vital link in the technology supply chain that connects the world&#146;s leading electronic
component and computer product manufacturers and software developers with a global customer base of original equipment manufacturers, electronic manufacturing services providers, original design manufacturers, and value-added resellers. We
distribute electronic components, computer products and software as received from our suppliers or with assembly or other value added by us. Additionally, we provide engineering design, materials management and logistics services, system integration
and configuration, and supply chain services that can be customized to meet the requirements of both customers and suppliers. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We have two primary operating groups &#151; Electronics Marketing and Technology Solutions. Both operating groups have operations in each
of the three major economic regions of the world: the Americas; Europe, the Middle East and Africa; and Asia/Pacific, consisting of Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Each operating group has its own management team led by a group president and
includes regional presidents and senior executives within the operating group who manage the various functions within the businesses. Each operating group also has distinct financial reporting that is evaluated at the corporate level on which
operating decisions and strategic planning for the Company as a whole are made. Divisions exist within each operating group that serve primarily as sales and marketing units to further streamline the sales and marketing efforts within each operating
group and enhance each operating group&#146;s ability to work with its customers and suppliers, generally along more specific product lines or geographies. However, each division relies heavily on the support services provided by the operating group
as well as centralized support at the corporate level. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our principal executive offices are located at 2211 South 47th Street,
