Exhibit 99.1
INGRAM MICRO INC.
COMPENSATION RECOVERY POLICY
1.0   PURPOSE
 
    This Compensation Recovery Policy (the “Policy”) is intended to maintain a culture of focused, diligent and responsible management that discourages conduct detrimental to the growth of Ingram Micro Inc. Accordingly, as set forth in this Compensation Recovery Policy, it may be appropriate for the Company to recover annual or long-term incentive compensation of its executive officers and key employees, to the extent permitted by governing laws, in the event that they engage in conduct that is detrimental to the Company. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Ingram Micro Inc. Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”).
 
2.0   APPLICABILITY
 
    This Policy applies to all Section 16 reporting officers of the Company, the Vice President of Internal Audit, Senior Vice President & Controller and such other key employees of the Company (as determined from time to time by the Administrator) as are deemed subject to the Policy (collectively the “Covered Employees”).
 
3.0   POLICY
  3.1.   Administration. The Policy will be administered by the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) unless the Board of Directors determines to administer the Policy itself (the Committee or the Board of Directors, as applicable, in its role administering the Policy is the “Administrator”). The Administrator may delegate ministerial administrative duties to one or more officers or employees of the Company.
 
  3.2.   Recoverable Amounts and Forfeiture. In the event of a Recoverable Event (as defined below) the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, take any or all of the following actions (as applicable) with respect to Incentive Compensation (as defined below) of a Covered Employee:
  3.2.1   Cause the Covered Employee to forfeit any unvested Incentive Compensation, as of the Recoverable Event,
 
  3.2.2   Cause the Covered Employee, regardless of prior vesting, to forfeit any unpaid Incentive Compensation, as of the Recoverable Event, and/or
 
  3.2.3   Recover from the Covered Employee an amount equal to any and all Incentive Compensation earned and received or realized by the Covered

 


 

      Employee during the Covered Period, with interest at the US Prime Rate as published by Bloomberg Finance L.P., compounded annually, from the commencement date of the Covered Period through the date of recovery by the Company (the “Recoverable Amount”).
 
      The Administrator has the sole and absolute discretion to determine the manner of recovery of any Recoverable Amount, including, without limitation, through the reduction of future awards or payments, unpaid amounts or awards, or any other compensation or payments due to the Covered Employee from the Company (under any compensation agreement or arrangement between the Covered Employee and the Company) or other legal action. In the event of a Recoverable Event described in Section 4.4.3 below, if the Administrator determines in its sole discretion that the Recoverable Event was not the result of the Covered Employee’s fraudulent, intentional, willful, or grossly negligent misconduct, the Recoverable Amount will be limited to an amount equal to the amount of compensation that the Covered Employee received in excess of the amount of compensation that the Covered Employee would have received, but for the occurrence of the Recoverable Event.
  3.3.   Determinations in Discretion of the Administrator.
  3.3.1   The Administrator shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion:
  3.3.1.1   the amount of any Recoverable Amount,
 
  3.3.1.2   whether or not a Recoverable Event has occurred,
 
  3.3.1.3   whether or not to take any action upon discovery of a Recoverable Event,
 
  3.3.1.4   the manner of recovery of any Recoverable Amount, including, without limitation, through the reduction of future awards or payments, unpaid amounts or awards, or any other compensation or payments due to the Covered Employee from the Company (under any compensation agreement or arrangement between the Covered Employee and the Company) or other legal action, and
 
  3.3.1.5   the amounts or awards subject to forfeiture.

  3.3.2   Any action or inaction by the Administrator with respect to a Covered Employee under this Policy shall in no way limit the Administrator’s actions or decision not to act with respect to any other Covered Employee subject to a similar policy, agreement, or arrangement. The Administrator may apply these provisions differently to each such Covered Employee, in its discretion, taking into account (i) whether the assertion of a claim may violate applicable law or prejudice the interests of the Company (including but not limited to any prejudice to the interests of the Company in any proceeding or investigation), (ii) whether other penalties or punishments are being imposed on the Covered Employee, including by third parties, or any governmental or regulatory authority (including, without limitation action taken under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002), (iii) the nature of the events that led to the Recoverable Event, (iv) the Covered Employee’s conduct, role and responsibilities with respect to the events that led to a Recoverable Event, and (v) such other factors as determined by the Administrator.
  3.4.   Applicability. The Administrator may determine that any equity award agreement, employment agreement, bonus plan or similar agreement or plan entered into or amended on or after the Effective Date shall, as a condition to the grant of any benefit covered by such agreement or plan, require a Covered Employee to contractually agree to abide by the terms of this Policy. Incentive Compensation subject to any such agreement, notwithstanding the terms of such agreement, shall not be deemed vested or earned so long as such Incentive Compensation is subject to recovery under this Policy. Further, the adoption of this Policy does not mitigate, and is intended to enhance, the effect of any recoupment, forfeiture or similar policies in any equity award agreement, employment agreement or similar agreement in effect prior to the Effective Date.
 
  3.5.   Severability. The provisions in this Policy are intended to be applied to the fullest extent of the law, provided, however, to the extent that any provision of this Policy is found to be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law, such provision will be applied to the maximum extent permitted, and shall automatically be deemed amended in a manner consistent with its objectives to the extent necessary to conform to any limitations required under applicable law.
