(c)    waive any Lease Event of Default that may occur pursuant to Section 17.1(h) of the Lease or any Event of Default that may occur pursuant to Section 6(f) of the Guaranty Agreement as a result of violations of any agreement or instrument governing Indebtedness or a Guarantee of the Lessee due to (i) the Specified Matters or (ii) the failure to file with the SEC or to transmit to holders thereunder the 2013 Financial Statements or the Affected Quarterly Financial Statements as and when required by the terms thereof (A) in the case of any agreement or instrument governing Indebtedness of the Lessee (other than Material Debt Agreements (as defined below)), until the earlier of (x) the Expiration Date and (y) the date of acceleration of such Indebtedness or enforcement of a lien securing such Indebtedness, and (B) in the case of Material Debt Agreements, until the earlier of (x) May 15, 2013 and (y) the date of acceleration of such Indebtedness or enforcement of a lien securing such Indebtedness.

PART I — REGISTRANT INFORMATION
 
Tech Data Corporation
Full Name of Registrant

N/A
Former Name if Applicable

5350 Tech Data Drive
Address of Principal Executive Office (Street and Number)

Clearwater, Florida 33760
City, State and Zip Code
 






PART II — RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)
 
If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)
  
(a)
The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense


(b)
The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
 
(c)
The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.
 
PART III — NARRATIVE
 
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Tech Data Corporation (the Company”) has determined that it is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”) for the year ended January 31, 2013 within the prescribed time period because it requires additional time to complete the required financial statements and restatement described below. The Company cannot predict when it will complete the restatement, but expects that it will do so beyond the permitted 15-day extension of the prescribed due date of April 1, 2013.
On March 21, 2013, the Company disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K that the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors, on the recommendation of management, and after consultation with the Company's independent accountants, Ernst & Young LLP, concluded that the Company would be required to restate some or all of its previously issued quarterly and audited annual financial statements for the fiscal years 2011 and 2012 and some or all of the quarters of fiscal year 2013, including the financial statements in the Company’s fourth quarter and fiscal year 2013 earnings release dated March 4, 2013. The Company anticipates that the restatement will be made to correct improprieties primarily related to how the Company's U.K. subsidiary reflected vendor accounting.












PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION

(Name)
 
(Area Code)
 
(Telephone Number)
 
 
(2)
Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).
 
 
 
 
 
x Yes     No

 
 
 
 
 
 
(3)
Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
x  Yes     No
 
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
 
As announced by the Company on March 21, 2013, the Company estimates that the restatement will reduce previously reported consolidated operating income by an aggregate amount of approximately $30 million to $40 million, and consolidated net income by an aggregate amount of approximately $25 million to $33 million, over the three fiscal year periods affected by the restatement. These preliminary estimates are based on currently available information and are subject to change during the course of the ongoing investigation of this matter.
While the Company anticipates that there will be changes in its results of operations for the quarter and fiscal year ended January 31, 2013, it is unable to present a reasonable estimate of those results at this time.
Forward Looking Statements
The report includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws and regulations, including those regarding the Company's intent to restate its prior financial statements, the scope of the restatement, the estimated impact of the restatement and the expected timing of filing the restated financial reports. There can be no assurance that the Company's management, Audit Committee or independent registered public accounting firm will not reach conclusions that are different from management's preliminary identification of issues. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the risk that additional information relating to the scope of the improprieties may arise from the ongoing review of this matter, the risk that the process of preparing the financial statements or other subsequent events would require the Company to make additional adjustments, the time and effort required to complete the restatement and the ramifications of the Company's potential inability to





timely file required reports. Forward-looking statements reflect management's analysis as of the filing date of this Notice, and the Company does not undertake to revise these statements to reflect subsequent developments.
