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;

place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, each of which speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made. Except as required by law, Avnet does not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events
or circumstances that occur after the date on which the statement is made. The following factors and the &#147;Risk Factors&#148; beginning on page S-8 of this prospectus supplement and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
June&nbsp;27, 2015, 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
Avnet&#146;s future results, and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements: </P> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

to you in making a decision to purchase the notes. For a more comprehensive understanding of Avnet and this offering, Avnet urges you to read this entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus carefully, including the documents

global value-added distributor of electronic components, enterprise computer and storage products, IT solutions and services 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 (&#147;OEMs&#148;), electronic manufacturing services providers, original design manufacturers, systems
integrators (&#147;SIs&#148;), independent software vendors (&#147;ISVs&#148;) and value-added resellers (&#147;VARs&#148;). Avnet distributes electronic components, computer products and software, as received from its suppliers or through a
customized solution, and it offers assembly and other value-added services. Additionally, Avnet provides engineering design, materials management and logistics services, system integration and configuration, and supply chain services customized to
meet specific requirements of customers and suppliers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Avnet has 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. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Electronics Marketing markets

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>An investment in the notes involves risks. 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 10-K for the fiscal year ended June&nbsp;27, 2015, 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></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Avnet&#146;s secured debt has claims with respect to the secured assets that will be structurally senior to those of the notes. </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The indenture contains a covenant that restricts the incurrence of certain 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. At January&nbsp;2, 2016, Avnet had $690.0 million in consolidated secured
debt outstanding under its accounts receivable securitization program. Under the securitization program, Avnet may 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. The designated pool of receivables provides security or collateral for borrowings under the securitization program. The indenture governing the notes does not restrict Avnet&#146;s ability to
securitize its receivables. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Avnet&#146;s existing secured debt, and any secured debt it issues in the future, will be structurally senior
to the notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. 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 secured 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. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>The claims of
creditors of Avnet&#146;s subsidiaries are structurally senior to the claims of Avnet&#146;s equity interests in its subsidiaries. </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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 January&nbsp;2, 2016, Avnet&#146;s subsidiary debt to which the notes would effectively be subordinated totaled $128.2 million. Most of Avnet&#146;s subsidiary debt is guaranteed by Avnet. Under Avnet&#146;s credit
facility, Avnet&#146;s subsidiaries are limited to maximum borrowings of $500.0 million at any one time outstanding. 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 structurally senior 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. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. The
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 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. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>The indenture does not restrict the amount of additional debt that Avnet may incur. </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes and the indenture governing the notes do not limit the amount of unsecured debt that may be incurred by Avnet, 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. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>The indenture and the notes provide only limited protection against significant corporate events that could adversely affect noteholders&#146; investments
in the notes. </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Although the indenture and the notes contain terms intended to provide 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. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Avnet may be unable to purchase the notes upon a change of control. </B></P>

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. If Avnet experiences a Change of Control Triggering Event, there can be no 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 under the
indenture, which could have material adverse consequences for Avnet and the holders of the notes. See &#147;Description of the Notes&#151;Change of Control.&#148; </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes will be issued as a series of debt securities under an indenture dated as of June&nbsp;22, 2010, between us and Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association, as trustee. The following description of notes is a summary of material provisions of the notes and the indenture, but does not include all the provisions of the notes and the indenture. We urge you to read the indenture
because it fully defines the rights of holders of the notes. You may obtain a copy of the indenture without charge. See &#147;Incorporation by Reference&#148; in this prospectus supplement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this
section have the meanings assigned to them in the indenture. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The terms of the notes include those set forth in the notes, those stated in
the indenture and those made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The notes are subject to all such terms, and investors are referred to the indenture and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, for
a statement thereof. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When we refer to &#147;Avnet,&#148; &#147;Avnet, Inc.,&#148; &#147;us,&#148; &#147;we,&#148; or &#147;our&#148; in
this &#147;Description of the Notes&#148; section of this prospectus supplement, we refer only to Avnet, Inc., a New York corporation, and not its subsidiaries. </P>

limited to $550.0&nbsp;million aggregate principal amount. We may create and issue additional notes of the series of notes offered hereby from time to time without the consent of the then holders of the notes. Any additional notes will be
consolidated with, and treated as part of the same series of notes as, the initial notes for all purposes under the indenture, including with respect to voting and redemptions; <U>provided</U>, that any such additional notes that are not fungible
with the notes offered hereby for U.S. federal income tax purposes will have a separate CUSIP, ISIN and/or other identifying number, if applicable, than the notes offered hereby. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes will mature on April 15, 2026. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes will be issued in registered form only in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes will be our senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally with our other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The
notes will be effectively subordinated to Avnet&#146;s current and future secured indebtedness, including borrowings under Avnet&#146;s accounts receivable securitization program. At January&nbsp;2, 2016, Avnet had approximately $690.0 million in
secured indebtedness outstanding under its securitization program and $1,395.0 million of unsecured senior indebtedness outstanding, including indebtedness incurred under its senior unsecured credit facility. In addition, the notes will not be
guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries and so will be effectively subordinated to the debt of these subsidiaries with respect to Avnet&#146;s equity interests in the assets of these subsidiaries. The subsidiary debt to which the notes would
effectively be subordinated totaled $128.2 million at January&nbsp;2, 2016. Substantially all of the debt of our subsidiaries has been incurred by foreign subsidiaries, primarily to fund their working capital requirements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes will not have the benefit of any sinking fund. </P>

from March 29, 2016, at the annual rate set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement. Interest will be payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2016, to the persons in whose names the notes
are registered in the security register at the close of business on the April 1 and October 1 prior to the relevant interest payment date. Interest on the notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. </P>

interests in notes represented by the global notes held through DTC participants will be the responsibility of DTC participants, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in &#147;street name.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because DTC can only act on behalf of DTC participants, who in turn act on behalf of indirect DTC participants and other banks, your ability

ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed by us within 90 days. In addition, beneficial interests in a global note may be exchanged for definitive certificated notes upon request by

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DTC has advised us as follows: DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a &#147;banking
organization&#148; within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a &#147;clearing corporation&#148; within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a &#147;clearing agency&#148; registered
pursuant to the provisions of Section&nbsp;17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities for DTC participants and to facilitate the settlement of securities transactions among DTC participants through electronic computerized book-entry
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
companies that clear through, or maintain a custodial relationship with, a participant, either directly or indirectly. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Although DTC has
agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in the global notes among DTC participants, it is under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any
time. None of us, the trustee or any of either&#146;s respective agents will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC or direct or indirect DTC participants of their obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations,

wish, on a particular day, to transfer their interests, or to receive or make a payment or delivery or exercise any other right with respect to their interests, may find that the transaction will not be effected until the next business day in
Luxembourg or Brussels, as applicable. Thus, investors who wish to exercise rights that expire on a particular day may need to act before the expiration date. In addition, investors who hold their interests through both DTC and Euroclear or
Clearstream may need to make special arrangements to finance any purchase or sales of their interests between the U.S. and European clearing systems, and those transactions may settle later than transactions within one clearing system. </P>

placement agents or wholesalers) at which a substantial amount of the notes is sold for money, and who hold notes as &#147;capital assets&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;1221 of the Code. This summary does not deal with persons in special

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">FATCA imposes a 30% withholding tax on certain types of payments made to &#147;foreign financial institutions&#148; and certain other non-U.S.
entities unless certain due diligence, reporting, withholding, and certification requirements are satisfied. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a general matter, FATCA
imposes a 30% withholding tax on interest on, and gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, notes if paid to a foreign entity unless either (i)&nbsp;the foreign entity is a &#147;foreign financial institution&#148; that undertakes
certain due diligence, reporting, withholding, and certification obligations, (ii)&nbsp;the foreign entity is not a &#147;foreign financial institution&#148; and identifies certain of its U.S. investors, or (iii)&nbsp;the foreign entity otherwise is
excepted under FATCA. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Different rules than those described above may apply to Non-U.S. Holders resident in jurisdictions that have

Treasury regulations and other administrative guidance, the required withholding currently applies to interest on the notes and will apply beginning on January&nbsp;1, 2019, with respect to gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of the
notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If withholding is required under FATCA on a payment related to the notes, investors that otherwise would not be subject to
withholding (or that otherwise would be entitled to a reduced rate of withholding) generally will be required to seek a refund or credit from the IRS to obtain the benefit of such exemption or reduction (provided that such benefit is available).
Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect of FATCA in their particular circumstances. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Backup Withholding and

interest paid with respect to the notes. Payments of the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of the notes to Non-U.S. Holders may also be subject to information reporting unless the Non-U.S. 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. Holder is able to establish its exemption from backup
withholding (generally through the provision of an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8 BEN-E.) </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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. federal income tax liability of the holder and may entitle the holder to a refund,<U> provided</U> that the required information
is provided to the IRS. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The preceding discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations is for general information only;

of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the
notes offered hereby. The underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients
