      Announces a Special Dividend to Shareholders</b></font>
    </p>
    <p>
      MERRIMACK, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 18, 2017--Connection (PC
      Connection, Inc.; NASDAQ:&#160;CNXN), a leading technology solutions provider
      of a full range of information technology solutions to business,
      government, and education markets, today announced that its Board of
      Directors declared a special cash dividend of $0.34 per share payable on
      January 12, 2018, to shareholders of record at the close of business on
      December 29, 2017. The total amount of the special dividend payment will
      be approximately $9.1 million based on the current number of shares
      outstanding. While Connection is pleased to be in a position to pay a
      special dividend again this year, any declaration of future cash
      dividends will depend upon its financial position, strategic plans, and
      general business conditions at the time.
    </p>
    <p>
      &quot;As recently reported, net sales for the nine months ended September 30,
      2017 increased by 9.8% year over year and operating cash flow was $28.4
      million over the same nine-month period,&quot; said Timothy McGrath,
      President and Chief Executive Officer. &quot;The Company has successfully
      leveraged its assets and maintained a strong balance sheet. We believe
      that this special dividend is an appropriate way to reward shareholders
      for their support,&quot; concluded Mr. McGrath.
