The distribution is expected to take place in the next several weeks, subject to the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals. A copy of the Plan of Dissolution is attached hereto as Exhibit C and is incorporated herein by reference. The Reporting Persons retain the right to change their investment intent, from time to time, to acquire additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, or to sell or otherwise dispose of all or part of the Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, if any, beneficially owned by them, in each case in any manner permitted by law and the Stockholders Agreement.

Item 6.                Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect To Securities of the Issuer

Merger Agreement

On March 22, 2021, SNX, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, and Tiger Parent entered into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub I merged with and into Tiger Parent (the “Initial Merger”), with Tiger Parent surviving the Initial Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of SNX (such surviving corporation, the “Surviving Corporation”), followed immediately by the merger of the Surviving Corporation with and into Merger Sub II (the “Subsequent Merger” and together with the Initial Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub II surviving the Subsequent Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of SNX. The board of directors of SNX, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II and Tiger Parent, respectively, have unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the Mergers. The stockholders or members, as applicable, of SNX, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II and Tiger Parent have approved the Merger Agreement and Mergers.

Merger Consideration

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions described therein, at the effective time of the Initial Merger (the “Effective Time”), except as otherwise set forth in the Merger Agreement, all the issued and outstanding common shares, $0.01 par value, of Tiger Parent were converted automatically into and thereafter represented only the right to receive (i) $1,610,000,000 in cash, in the aggregate and (ii) 44,000,000 shares of Common Stock, plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares, if any, of Common Stock (the “Aggregate Stock Consideration”), in each case, without interest. The Aggregate Stock Consideration was issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, without the use of any general solicitation or advertising to market or otherwise offer the securities for sale.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and is incorporated herein by reference.

Investor Rights Agreement

Board of Directors

Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, following the closing of the Mergers, the Board is comprised of eleven directors, and Tiger Holdings has the right to nominate a certain number of directors, depending on the percentage of the outstanding shares of Common Stock held by Tiger Holdings or certain of its affiliates. Specifically, Tiger Holdings shall have the right to nominate:

(i)

up to four directors, if it owns 30% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, two of which must be “independent” directors, within the meaning of the NYSE;

(ii)

up to three directors, if it owns between 20% and 30% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, one of which must be an independent director;

(iii)

up to two directors, if it owns between 10% and 20% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock;

(iv)

up to one director, if it owns between 5% and 10% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

The initial directors nominated by Tiger Holdings were Robert Kaslow-Ramos, Nayaki Nayyar, Matthew Nord, and Merline Saintil, each of whom were required to be mutually acceptable to SNX and any replacement director nominated by Tiger Holdings must be approved by a majority of the directors on the Board that are not nominated by Tiger Holdings.

Of the remaining directors, who are not nominated by Tiger Holdings, one director must be the then-serving Chief Executive Officer of SNX, currently Mr. Richard Hume, and the other directors must be nominated in accordance with the provisions of SNX’ bylaws and SNX Certificate of Incorporation, currently Dennis Polk, Fred A. Breidenbach, Hau L. Lee, Ann Vezina and Duane E. Zitzner..

In the event the size of the Board is increased or decreased to other than eleven directors, the number of directors who may be nominated by Tiger Holdings will be proportionately increased or decreased to most closely equal the percentage of the Board originally composed of directors nominated by Tiger Holdings.

The Board may determine the composition and makeup of any committees of the Board. The lead independent director will also be selected by the Board.

Directors nominated by Tiger Holdings must fulfill their pro rata portion of any diversity requirements pursuant to law, stock exchange rules, or other regulatory requirements based on the percentage of the Board composed of directors nominated by Tiger Holdings.

Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance

Under the Investor Rights Agreement, SNX must maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance as determined by the Board. SNX agrees that SNX will be the primary indemnitor for SNX directors.

Information Rights

Under the Investor Rights Agreement, for so long as Tiger Holdings and its affiliates own at least 10% of the Common Stock , SNX will provide Tiger Holdings with certain inspection and information rights, including, among other things, access to books and records of SNX or its material subsidiaries, access to SNX’ auditors and officers, access to quarter-ends reports, and information on significant corporate actions.

Certain Actions Requiring Approvals

SNX or its material subsidiaries may not, without approval of a majority of directors on the Board, which must include the approval of a majority of the directors nominated by Tiger Holdings, amend any provision of its charter, bylaws or similar organizational documents in a way that adversely affects Tiger Holdings or its affiliates.

Restricted Activities; Voting

Tiger Holdings and its affiliates may not, without SNX’ prior written consent:

•

make any statement or proposal to the Board or SNX’ stockholders with respect to any business combination, tender offer, or sale of substantially all assets;

•

form any voting groups with any stockholder of SNX other than solely among Tiger Holdings affiliates;

•

seek to control or change the management of the Board or SNX;

•

acquire any additional shares of stock of SNX entitled to vote; or

•

publicly disclose any arrangement relating to the foregoing or knowingly facilitate any of the foregoing.

Corporate Opportunity Waiver

Under the Investor Rights Agreement, SNX has agreed to waive the corporate opportunity doctrine to the extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law with respect to the directors nominated by Tiger Holdings and certain other entities and investment funds affiliated with Tiger Holdings, so long as such person is not an employee of SNX or its subsidiaries (the “Covered Persons”). Specifically, SNX agreed that, among other things, the Covered Persons do not have a duty to refrain from: (i) investing in or conducting any business of any kind, (ii) doing business with any client, customer, vendor or lessor of SNX or any of its affiliates, or (iii) making any investments in any kind of property in which SNX may make investments. Further, SNX agreed, among other things, subject to any express agreement otherwise that may from time to time be in effect, that if a Covered Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction which may constitute a corporate opportunity for both (a) the Covered Person outside of his or her capacity as a member of the Board and (b) SNX, then the Covered Person shall not have any duty to offer or communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to SNX, and SNX renounced any interest or expectancy in any potential transaction or matter of which the Covered Person acquires knowledge, except for any corporate opportunity which is expressly offered to a Covered Person in writing solely in his or her capacity as a member of the Board, or as expressly agreed otherwise.

Registration Rights

On September 2, 2021, SNX filed an automatically effective registration statement registering the resale of the Registrable Securities (as defined below). Under the Investor Rights Agreement, SNX was required to file this registration statement, within two business days after the closing of the Mergers,

Under the Investor Rights Agreement, SNX has agreed to provide Tiger Holdings and its affiliates with certain registration rights to require SNX to register a sale of any Registrable Securities held by Tiger Holdings and its affiliates with a dollar value of $100 million or greater. Tiger Holdings will be entitled to make up to two registration demands in any rolling twelve-month period, including short form registration demands, that SNX register such securities for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (which we refer to as “Securities Act”).

In addition, Tiger Holdings will have “piggy-back” registration rights to include its Registrable Securities in other registration statements filed by SNX.

SNX will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

“Registrable Securities” means shares of Common Stock; provided that any Registrable Securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities when (a) a registration statement with respect to the sale of such Registrable Securities has been declared effective under the Securities Act and such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth in such registration statement, (b) such Registrable Securities are distributed pursuant to Rule 144 or (c) such Registrable Securities shall have been otherwise transferred and new certificates for them not bearing a legend restricting further transfer under the Securities Act shall have been delivered by SNX; and provided, further, that any securities that have ceased to be Registrable Securities shall not thereafter become Registrable Securities and any security that is issued or distributed in respect of securities that have ceased to be Registrable Securities is not a Registrable Security.

Applicable Law; Jurisdiction

The Investor Rights Agreement is governed by Delaware law.
