TECH DATA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 — BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

Tech Data Corporation (“Tech Data” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of information technology (“IT”) products, logistics management and other value-added services. The Company distributes microcomputer hardware and software products to value-added resellers, direct marketers, retailers and corporate resellers. The Company is managed in two geographic segments: the Americas (which includes the United States, Canada, Latin America and export sales to the Caribbean) and EMEA (which includes Europe, the Middle East and export sales to Africa).

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tech Data and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company operates on a fiscal year that ends on January 31.

Basis of Presentation

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS” or “Statement”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company has accounted for the EMEA Training Business (the “Training Business”) sold during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 as a discontinued operation. The results of operations of the Training Business and the sale of the Training Business have been reclassified and presented as “discontinued operations, net of tax”, for all periods presented. The balance sheet data at January 31, 2006 has not been reclassified as the net assets of the Training Business are less than 0.5% of the total net assets of the Company at January 31, 2006. The cash flows of the Training Business have not been reported separately within the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as the net cash flows of the Training Business are not material and the absence of cash flows from the Training Business is not expected to affect the Company’s future liquidity. The transaction is further discussed in Note 5—Discontinued Operations.

Method of Accounting

The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements & Legislation

In February 2005, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 03-13, “Applying the Conditions of Paragraph 42 of FASB Statement No. 144 in Determining Whether to Report Discontinued Operations” (“EITF Issue No. 03-13”). EITF Issue No. 03-13 gives guidance on how to evaluate whether the operations and cash flows of a disposed component have been or will be eliminated from ongoing operations and the types of continuing involvement that constitute significant continuing involvement in the operations of the disposed component. The provisions of EITF Issue No. 03-13 have been applied in the determination of the discontinued operations for the quarters ended April 30, 2006 and 2005.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Corrections”, which replaces Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements”, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 also provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of error corrections. This statement is applicable for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.

In June 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position 143-1, “Accounting for Electronic Equipment Waste Obligations” (“FSP 143-1”). FSP 143-1 provides guidance on the accounting for certain obligations associated with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (the “Directive”) adopted by the European Union (“EU”). Under the Directive, the waste management obligation for historical equipment (products put on the market on or prior to August 13, 2005) remains with the commercial user until the customer replaces the equipment. The Company will apply the provisions of FSP 143-1, which requires recognition of the estimated liability and obligation associated with the historical waste, upon adoption of the Directive into law by the applicable EU member countries in which it operates. The Company is in the process of assessing what impact, if any, the Directive and FSP 143-1 may have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Table of Contents

Reclassifications

Reclassifications, in addition to those related to discontinued operations discussed in Note 5, have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the April 30, 2006 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications did not change previously reported total assets, liabilities, shareholders’ equity or net income.

Seasonality

The Company’s quarterly operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and will likely continue to do so in the future as a result of seasonal variations in the demand for the products and services it offers. Narrow operating margins may magnify the impact of these factors on the Company’s operating results. Specific historical seasonal variations, relative to the Company’s first quarter, have included a reduction of demand in Europe during the Company’s second and third quarters and an increase in European demand during the Company’s fourth quarter. Given that a majority of the Company’s revenues are now derived from Europe, the worldwide results will more closely follow the seasonality trends in Europe. The life cycle of major products, as well as the impact of acquisitions or dispositions may also materially impact the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations. Therefore, the results of operations for the quarters ended April 30, 2006 and 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire fiscal year ending January 31, 2007.

NOTE 2 — EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur assuming the exercise of stock options and similar equity incentives (as further discussed below) using the if-converted and treasury stock methods. The composition of basic and diluted EPS is as follows:

Effect of dilutive securities:

     —      359         —      820

   $ 12,891    56,265    $ 0.23    $ 33,523    59,752    $ 0.56
                                     

At April 30, 2006 and 2005, there were 3,148,116 and 3,545,872 shares, respectively, excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.

The Company reissued 158,519 shares of treasury stock during the quarter ended April 30, 2006. There were no new shares of common stock issued by the Company during the quarter ended April 30, 2006. The Company issued 37,025 shares of common stock during the quarter ended April 30, 2005. In addition, the Company repurchased 828,904 and 271,225 shares of common stock during the quarters ended April 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

NOTE 3 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Effective February 1, 2006 (the “Effective Date”), the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payments” (“SFAS No. 123R”). SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees and non-employee members of the board of directors, including grants of all employee equity incentives, to be recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations based on their fair values. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB No. 107”) regarding its interpretation of SFAS No. 123R and the valuation of share-based payments for public companies. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB No. 107 in its adoption of SFAS No. 123R.

SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method prescribed under APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” , and instead, generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value based method. Through fiscal 2005, the Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of its stock options under SFAS No.123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”), for the pro-forma disclosures required under this

pronouncement. Beginning in fiscal 2006, the Company began issuing maximum value stock-settled stock appreciation rights (“MV Stock-settled SARs”) and maximum value stock options (“MVOs”), both of which are further discussed below. The fair value of MV Stock-settled SARs and MVOs under SFAS No. 123R is determined using a two-step valuation model utilizing both the Hull-White Lattice (binomial) and Black-Scholes option-pricing models, which is consistent with the valuation method used for the MV Stock-settled SARs and MVOs previously included in the Company’s pro-forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123.

The Company has elected the “modified prospective” method as permitted by SFAS No. 123R, and accordingly, prior periods have not been restated to reflect the impact of SFAS No. 123R. The modified prospective method requires compensation expense to be recognized for all share-based awards granted after the Effective Date as well as for all awards granted prior to the Effective Date that remain unvested on the Effective Date. Stock-based compensation expense for awards granted prior to February 1, 2006 is based on the grant date fair value as previously determined under the provisions of SFAS No. 123. Effective February 1, 2006 the Company began to recognize compensation expense, reduced for estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is the vesting term of the outstanding stock awards. The Company estimated the forfeiture rate for the quarter ended April 30, 2006 based on its historical experience during the preceding five fiscal years. For the quarter ended April 30, 2006, the Company recorded $1.9 million of stock-based compensation expense, which is included in “selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, beginning in the quarter ended April 30, 2006, the Company has presented the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow, in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Cash received from stock option exercises during the quarter ended April 30, 2006 was $4.6 million and the actual benefit received from the tax deduction from stock option exercises of the share-based payment awards was $0.4 million for the quarter ended April 30, 2006.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company measured compensation expense for its stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. Options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The Company applied the disclosure only provisions of SFAS No. 148, which amends SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 148 allowed for the continued use of recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for those plans, however, required disclosure of compensation expense as if the fair value-based method had been applied.

The following table illustrates the pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share for the quarter ended April 30, 2005, reflecting the compensation cost that the Company would have recorded on its equity incentive plans plan had it used the fair value-based method at grant date for awards under the plans consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123.

The Company has elected to use the Hull-White Lattice (binomial) and Black-Scholes option-pricing models to determine the fair value of awards granted during fiscal 2007 and 2006. The Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for awards granted prior to fiscal 2006. Both the Hull-White Lattice and Black-Scholes option–pricing models incorporate various assumptions including expected volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rates, while the Hull-White Lattice

model also incorporates a suboptimal exercise factor (“SEF”) assumption. The Company calculates expected volatility using an equal blend of the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the most recent period equal to the contractual term of the award and the implied volatility using traded options with a variety of remaining maturities. The expected life for the Hull-White component of the valuation is equal to the contractual term of the award and the Black-Scholes component is based on historical experience. The risk-free rate corresponds to the ten-year Treasury rate on the date of the award as the contractual term of the award is 10 years. The SEF takes into consideration early exercise behavior or patterns based on stock-price appreciation. The SEF is computed by analyzing historical exercises and stock prices on the exercise date as a multiple of the original award price. Fair value calculations are subject to change based upon the assumptions applied within the applicable models.

The weighted-average estimated fair value of the MV Stock-settled SARs and MVOs granted during the quarter ended April 30, 2006 was $7.22 based on the two-step valuation utilizing both the Hull-White Lattice (binomial) and Black-Scholes option-pricing models using the following assumptions:

Equity Incentive Plans

At April 30, 2006, the Company had awards outstanding under four stock-based compensation plans, one of which is currently active and which authorizes the issuance of 6.5 million shares, of which approximately 0.4 million shares are available for future grant. Under the plans, the Company is authorized to award officers, employees, and non-employee members of the Board of Directors restricted stock, options to purchase common stock, MV Stock-settled SARs, MVOs and performance awards that are dependent upon achievement of specified performance goals. Equity-based compensation grants have a maximum term of 10 years, unless a shorter period is specified by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or required under local law. Grants and awards under the plans are priced as determined by the Compensation Committee and under the terms of the Company’s active stock-based compensation plan and are required to be priced at, or above, the fair market value on the date of grant. Awards generally vest between one and five years from the date of grant.

MV Stock-settled SARs and MVOs are similar to traditional stock options, except these instruments contain a predetermined cap upon exercise. In addition, upon exercise, holders of a MV Stock-settled SAR will only receive shares equal to the spread (the difference between the current market value subject to the predetermined cap and the exercise price). The grant price of the MV Stock-settled SARs and MVOs is determined using the last sale price as quoted on the NASDAQ on the date of grant (or higher as required by laws and regulations of specific foreign jurisdictions). The terms of the awards (i.e. vesting schedule, contractual term, etc.) are not materially different from the terms of traditional stock options previously granted by the Company.

During the quarters ended April 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of 1.1 million and 1.5 million, respectively, of long-term incentive awards in the form of MV Stock-settled SARs and MVOs pursuant to the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan of Tech Data Corporation, as amended. Prior to its adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company accounted for MV Stock-settled SARs as variable awards. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, these variable awards were remeasured on a quarterly basis and changes in value were recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations as compensation expense. There was no compensation expense recorded for these instruments during the quarter ended April 30, 2005.

The Company’s policy is to utilize shares of its treasury stock, to the extent available, for the exercise of awards. See further discussion of the Company’s share repurchase program included at Note 12 – Shareholders’ Equity below.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the difference between the Company’s closing price on April 30, 2006 and the option exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options at April 30, 2006. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. The total value of equity-based awards exercised during the quarter ended April 30, 2006 was $5.4 million. As of April 30, 2006, the Company expects $18.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to equity-based awards to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years. The total fair value of equity-based awards vested during the quarter ended April 30, 2006 was $6.7 million.

On February 25, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the acceleration of vesting for all stock options awarded in March 2004 to employees and officers under the Company’s stock option award program. While the Company typically issues options that vest equally over four years, as a result of this vesting acceleration, stock options to purchase approximately 1.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock became immediately exercisable. The grant prices of the affected stock options range from $41.08 to $41.64 and the closing price of the Company’s common stock on February 24, 2005, was $41.20. The vesting acceleration resulted in an expense to the Company of less than $0.1 million. The primary purpose of the accelerated vesting was to eliminate future compensation expense the Company would otherwise recognize in its income statement with respect to these accelerated options upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123R.

On June 7, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of performance based equity incentive awards in the form of restricted stock units under the Amended and Restated 2000 Equity Incentive Plan of Tech Data Corporation. The restricted stock units vest only upon achievement of certain performance measures based on cumulative earnings for defined periods ending January 31, 2008. The restricted stock units that could vest upon achievement of the performance targets range from 162,000 shares to 485,000 shares.

NOTE 4 — COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, and is comprised of “net income” and “other comprehensive income.” The Company’s other comprehensive income is comprised exclusively of changes in the Company’s currency translation adjustment (“CTA”) account, including income taxes attributable to those changes.

Comprehensive income, net of taxes, for the three months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005 is as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 5 — DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, in order to dedicate strategic efforts and resources to core growth opportunities, the Company made the decision to sell the EMEA Training Business (the “Training Business”). On March 10, 2006, the Company closed the sale of the Training Business to a third-party (the “Purchaser”) for total cash consideration of $16.5 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $3.8 million. Net assets and other related costs included in the sale of the Training Business totaled $11.5 million, including $1.4 million of allocated goodwill. The Company may receive $0.5 million of additional consideration contingent upon the satisfaction of certain post-closing conditions. The Company will provide IT services for a transitional period anticipated to be approximately six months, but will have no other significant continuing involvement in the operations of the Training Business subsequent to the closing of the sale. In addition, the Company will realize no continuing cash flows from the Training Business subsequent to the closing of the sale.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the sale of the Training Business qualifies as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the results of operations and the gain on sale of the Training Business have been reclassified and included in “discontinued operations, net of tax”, within the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the quarters ended April 30, 2006 and 2005. The assets and liabilities of the Training Business have not been reclassified within the January 31, 2006 Consolidated Balance Sheet as the net assets of the Training Business are less than 0.5% of the total consolidated net assets of the Company.

The following table reflects the results of the Training Business reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented:

Trade Receivables Purchase Facility Agreements

The Company has revolving trade receivables purchase facility agreements (the “Receivables Facilities”) with third-party financial institutions to sell accounts receivable on a non-recourse basis. The Company uses the Receivables Facilities as a source of working capital funding. The Receivables Facilities limit the amount of purchased accounts receivable the financial institutions may hold to $352.0 million at April 30, 2006, based on currency exchange rates at that date. Under the Receivables Facilities, the Company may sell certain accounts receivable (the “Receivables”) in exchange for cash less a discount based on LIBOR plus a margin. Such transactions have been accounted for as a true sale in accordance with SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities”. The Receivables Facilities, which have various expiration dates, require that the Company continue to service, administer and collect the sold accounts receivable. During the quarter ended April 30, 2006, the Company received gross proceeds of $261.8 million from the sale of the Receivables and recognized related discounts totaling $2.6 million. The proceeds, net of the discount incurred, are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in operating activities within cash received from customers and the change in accounts receivable. Prior to the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company did not utilize the Receivables Facilities as a source of funding.

NOTE 7 — GOODWILL

The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 142 requires an annual review for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. This review includes the determination of each reporting unit’s fair value using market multiples and discounted cash flow modeling. Separable intangible assets that have finite lives continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the quarter ended April 30, 2006, are as follows:

NOTE 8 — SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Short-term investments which have an original maturity of ninety days or less are considered cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows.

The Company recorded income tax benefits within additional paid in capital of $0.4 million and $0.1 million for the quarters ended April 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, related to the exercise of employee stock awards.

NOTE 9 — RESTRUCTURING PROGRAM

In May 2005, the Company announced a formal restructuring program to better align the EMEA operating cost structure with the current business environment. In connection with this restructuring program, the Company continues to record charges for workforce reductions and the optimization of facilities and systems. Excluding consulting costs, the current estimate of total charges associated with the restructuring program are estimated to be in the range of $50.0 to $55.0 million, compared to the original estimate of $40.0 to $50.0 million. The increase in the total estimated restructuring costs is the result of an increase in the estimated cost of headcount reductions and certain asset write-offs. The $50.0 to $55.0 million is comprised of $35.0 to $37.0 million related to workforce reductions and $15.0 to $18.0 million related to the optimization of facilities and systems. For the quarter ended April 30, 2006, the Company recorded $6.5 million related to the restructuring program, comprised of $4.9 million for workforce reductions and $1.6 million for facility costs. Through April 30, 2006, the Company has incurred $37.4 million related to the restructuring program, comprised of $23.8 million for workforce reductions and $13.6 million for facility costs. The remaining charges are expected to be incurred over the next two quarters and may vary each quarter depending upon the timing of certain actions. Costs related to the restructuring program have been funded by operating cash flows and the Company’s credit facilities. The recognition of restructuring charges requires the Company’s management to make judgments and estimates regarding the nature, timing, and amount of costs associated with the restructuring plan. Although the Company believes its estimates are appropriate and reasonable based on available information, actual results could differ from those estimates.

The restructuring charges are incurred pursuant to formal plans developed by management and are accounted for in accordance with the guidance set forth in SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” The costs related to this restructuring program, other than the external consulting costs, are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as “restructuring charges”, which is a component of operating income. The accrued restructuring charges are included in “accrued expenses and other liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. In addition, during the three months ended April 30, 2006, the Company incurred $4.1 million of external consulting costs related to the restructuring program. These consulting costs are included in “selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Company has an agreement (the “Receivables Securitization Program”) with a syndicate of banks that allows the Company to transfer an undivided interest in a designated pool of U.S. accounts receivable, on an ongoing basis, to provide security or collateral for borrowings up to a maximum of $400.0 million. Under this program, which expires in August 2006, the Company legally isolated certain U.S. trade receivables into a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote special purpose entity. Such receivables, which are recorded in “accounts receivable, net” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, totaled $514.3 million and $515.3 million at April 30, 2006 and January 31, 2006, respectively. As collections reduce accounts receivable balances included in the pool, the Company may transfer interests in new receivables to bring the amount available to be borrowed up to the maximum. The Company pays interest on advances under the Receivables Securitization Program at designated commercial paper rates plus an agreed-upon margin. The Company plans to renew this program in August 2006.

Under the terms of the Company’s Multi-currency Revolving Credit Facility with a syndicate of banks, the Company is able to borrow funds in major foreign currencies up to a maximum of $250.0 million. Under this facility, which expires in March 2010, the Company has provided either a pledge of stock or a guarantee of certain of its significant subsidiaries. The Company pays interest on advances under this facility at the applicable LIBOR rate plus a margin based on the Company’s credit ratings. The Company can fix the interest rate for periods of 7 to 180 days under various interest rate alternatives.

In addition to the facilities described above, the Company has lines of credit and overdraft facilities totaling approximately $673.0 million at April 30, 2006 to support its worldwide operations. Most of these facilities are provided on an unsecured, short-term basis and are reviewed periodically for renewal.

The total capacity of the aforementioned credit facilities was approximately $1.3 billion, of which $192.3 million was outstanding at April 30, 2006. The Company’s credit agreements contain limitations on the amounts of annual dividends and repurchases of common stock. Additionally, the credit agreements require compliance with certain warranties and covenants on a continuing basis. The financial ratio covenants contained within the credit agreements include a debt to capitalization ratio, an interest to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, deprecation and amortization) ratio and a tangible net worth requirement. At April 30, 2006, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants. The ability to draw funds under these credit facilities is dependent upon sufficient collateral (in the case of the Receivables Securitization Program) and meeting the aforementioned financial covenants, which may limit the Company’s ability to draw the full amount of these facilities. As of April 30, 2006, the maximum amount that could be borrowed under these facilities, in consideration of the availability of collateral and the financial covenants, was approximately $1.1 billion.

At April 30, 2006, the Company had issued standby letters of credit of $23.4 million. These letters of credit typically act as a guarantee of payment to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions. The issuance of these letters of credit reduces the Company’s available capacity under the above mentioned facilities by the same amount.

Shelf Registration Statement

In May 2006, the Company withdrew its $500.0 million universal shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission as the Company made the decision not to issue debt or equity securities through this registration statement.

NOTE 11—INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. The Company’s effective tax rate for continuing operations was 54% in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and 30% in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The increase in the effective tax rate during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 is primarily the result of estimated annual losses in tax jurisdictions where the Company is not able to record a tax benefit.

The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% during these periods for the reason discussed above, as well as tax rate benefits of certain earnings from operations in lower-tax jurisdictions throughout the world for which no U.S. taxes have been provided because such earnings are planned to be reinvested indefinitely outside the U.S.

The overall effective tax rate is dependent upon the geographic distribution of the Company’s worldwide earnings or losses and changes in tax laws or interpretations of these laws in these operating jurisdictions. The Company monitors the assumptions used in estimating the annual effective tax rate and adjusts these estimates accordingly. If actual results differ from these estimates, future income tax expense could be materially affected.

NOTE 12 — SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

In fiscal 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $200.0 million of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s share repurchases are made on the open market through block trades or otherwise. The number of shares purchased and the timing of the purchases is based on working capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors, including alternative investment opportunities. Shares repurchased by the Company are held in treasury for general corporate purposes, including issuances under employee equity incentive plans. During the quarter ended April 30, 2006, the Company repurchased 828,904 shares comprised of 826,316 shares purchased in conjunction with the Company’s share repurchase program and 2,588 shares purchased outside of the stock repurchase program, at an average of $36.31 per share, for a total cost, including expenses, of $30.1 million. During the quarter ended April 30, 2005, the Company repurchased 271,225 shares in conjunction with the Company’s share repurchase program at an average of $36.87 per share, for a total cost, including expenses, of $10.0 million.

NOTE 13— COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Synthetic Lease Facility

In July 2003, the Company completed a restructuring of its synthetic lease facility with a group of financial institutions (the “Restructured Lease”) under which the Company leases certain logistics centers and office facilities from a third-party lessor. The Restructured Lease expires in fiscal year 2008, at which time the Company has the following options: renew the lease for an additional five years, purchase the properties at an amount equal to their cost, or remarket the properties. If the Company elects to remarket the properties, it has guaranteed the lessor a percentage of the cost of each of the properties, in an aggregate amount of $121.0 million (the “residual value guarantee”). At any time during the lease term, the Company may, at its option, purchase up to four of the seven properties, at an amount equal to each property’s cost. The Company pays interest on the Restructured Lease at LIBOR plus an agreed-upon margin. The Restructured Lease contains covenants that must be complied with on a continuous basis, similar to the covenants described in certain of the credit facilities discussed in Note 10—Revolving Credit Loans and Long-Term Debt. The amount funded under the Restructured Lease ($136.7 million at

April 30, 2006) is treated as debt under the definition of the covenants required under both the Restructured Lease and the credit facilities. As of April 30, 2006, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

The sum of future minimum lease payments under the Restructured Lease at April 30, 2006 was $19.1 million. Properties leased under the Restructured Lease are located in Clearwater and Miami, Florida; Fort Worth, Texas; Fontana, California; Suwanee, Georgia; Swedesboro, New Jersey; and South Bend, Indiana.

The Restructured Lease has been accounted for as an operating lease. FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 46 requires the Company to evaluate whether an entity with which it is involved meets the criteria of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and, if so, whether the Company is required to consolidate that entity. The Company has determined that the third-party lessor of its synthetic lease facility does not meet the criteria of a VIE and, therefore, is not subject to the consolidation provisions of FIN No. 46.

Contingencies

Prior to fiscal 2004, one of the Company’s European subsidiaries was audited in relation to various value-added tax (“VAT”) matters. As a result of those audits, the subsidiary received notices of assessment that allege the subsidiary did not properly collect and remit VAT. It is management’s opinion, based upon the opinion of outside legal counsel, that the Company has valid defenses related to a substantial portion of these assessments. Although the Company is vigorously pursuing administrative and judicial action to challenge the assessments, no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome. The resolution of such assessments could be material to the Company’s operating results for any particular period, depending upon the level of income for such period.

The Company is subject to various other legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s management does not expect that the outcome in any of these other legal proceedings, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Guarantees

As is customary in the IT industry, to encourage certain customers to purchase products from Tech Data, the Company has arrangements with certain finance companies that provide inventory financing facilities to the Company’s customers. In conjunction with certain of these arrangements, the Company would be required to purchase certain inventory in the event the inventory is repossessed from the customers by the finance companies. As the Company does not have access to information regarding the amount of inventory purchased from the Company still on hand with the customer at any point in time, the Company’s repurchase obligations relating to inventory cannot be reasonably estimated. Repurchases of inventory by the Company under these arrangements have been insignificant to date. The Company believes that, based on historical experience, the likelihood of a material loss pursuant to these inventory repurchase obligations is remote.

The Company provides additional financial guarantees to finance companies on behalf of certain customers. The majority of these guarantees are for an indefinite period of time, where the Company would be required to perform if the customer is in default with the finance company. The Company reviews the underlying credit for these guarantees on at least an annual basis. As of April 30, 2006 and January 31, 2006, the aggregate amount of guarantees under these arrangements totaled $12.4 million and $7.0 million, respectively, of which $8.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively, was outstanding. The Company believes that, based on historical experience, the likelihood of a material loss pursuant to the above guarantees is remote.

Additionally, in connection with the sale of the Training Business discussed in Note 5—Discontinued Operations, the Company continues to negotiate the assignment of several of the related facility lease obligations with the lessors of such properties. To the extent the lessors are unwilling to agree to a direct lease arrangement with the purchaser, the Company will remain liable in the event of default by the purchaser of the Training Business. The majority of these lease obligations expire at various dates over the next three years and would require the Company to make all required payments under the lease agreements in the event of default by the purchaser. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Company could be required to make under the guarantees is approximately $9.6 million as of April 30, 2006. The Company believes that the likelihood of a material loss pursuant to these guarantees is remote.

The Company also provides residual value guarantees related to the Restructured Lease which have been recorded at the estimated fair value of the residual guarantees.

NOTE 14 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

Tech Data operates predominately in a single industry segment as a distributor of IT products, logistics management, and other value-added services. While the Company operates primarily in one industry, because of its global presence, the Company is managed by its geographic segments. The Company’s geographic segments include the Americas (United States, Canada, Latin America, and export sales to the Caribbean) and EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and export sales to Africa). The Company assesses performance of and makes decisions on how to allocate resources to its operating segments based on multiple factors including current and projected operating income and market opportunities. The Company does not consider

Overview

Tech Data is a leading distributor of information technology (“IT”) products, logistics management and other value-added services. We distribute microcomputer hardware and software products to value-added resellers, corporate resellers, direct marketers and retailers. Our offering of value-added customer services includes technical support, external financing options, configuration services, outbound telemarketing, marketing services and a suite of electronic commerce solutions. We manage our business in two geographic segments: the Americas (includes the United States, Canada, Latin America and export sales to the Caribbean) and EMEA (includes Europe, the Middle East and export sales to Africa).

Our strategy is to leverage our efficient cost structure combined with our multiple service offerings to generate demand and cost efficiencies for our suppliers and customers around the world. The IT distribution industry in which we operate is characterized by narrow gross profit as a percentage of sales (“gross margin”) and narrow income from operations as a percentage of sales (“operating margin”). Historically, our gross and operating margins have been impacted by intense price competition, as well as changes in terms and conditions with our suppliers, including those terms related to rebates and other

incentives and price protection. We expect these competitive pricing pressures to continue in the foreseeable future, and therefore, we will continue to evaluate our pricing policies and terms and conditions offered to our customers in response to changes in our vendors’ terms and conditions and the general market environment. We will continue to focus on not only disciplined pricing and purchasing practices, but also on realigning our customer and vendor portfolio to support a sustainable higher margin business that will help drive long-term profitability throughout all of our operations. As we continue to evaluate our existing pricing policies and make future changes, if any, within our customer or vendor portfolio, we may experience moderated sales growth or sales declines. In addition, increased competition and changes in general economic conditions within the markets in which we conduct business may hinder our ability to maintain and/or improve gross margin from its current level.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, in order to dedicate strategic efforts and resources to core growth opportunities, we made the decision to sell our EMEA Training Business (the “Training Business”). In March 2006, we closed the sale of the Training Business to a third-party for total cash consideration of $16.5 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $3.8 million. The Company may receive $0.5 million of additional consideration contingent upon the satisfaction of certain post-closing conditions. Our results of operations for the Training Business and the gain on the sale of the Training Business have been reclassified and presented as “discontinued operations, net of tax” in our Consolidated Statement of Operations for all periods presented. The reclassification of the Training Business had the effect of reducing previously reported gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) as a percentage of consolidated net sales by .24% and .22%, respectively, for the quarter ended April 30, 2005. The impact on previously reported operating margin was relatively insignificant. The assets and liabilities of the Training Business have not been reclassified in our January 31, 2006 Consolidated Balance Sheet as the net assets of the Training Business are less than 0.5% of the total consolidated net assets of the Company.

From a balance sheet perspective, we require working capital primarily to finance accounts receivable and inventory. We have historically relied upon debt, trade credit from our vendors, and accounts receivable financing programs for our working capital needs. We believe our balance sheet at April 30, 2006 was one of the strongest in the industry, with a debt to capital ratio (calculated as total debt divided by the aggregate of total debt and total shareholders’ equity) of 10%.

In May 2005, in an effort to improve profitability in the EMEA region we announced a formal restructuring program (further discussed below). We believe our challenges in the EMEA region over the last several quarters are the result of a combination of factors, including somewhat weaker demand conditions in certain countries, competitive pricing pressures, declining average selling prices and, most notably, the diverted focus of our management team in the region. Specifically, the combined effect of the completion of the final phases of our comprehensive IT systems upgrade and harmonization project, further integration of our Azlan operations and, most recently, the implementation of our EMEA restructuring program, diverted the focus of our management team in the region from executing appropriate pricing, purchasing and sales management practices.

We are beginning to see the benefits from our actions to restructure and optimize our operations in the EMEA region. These actions have included: engaging external consultants to provide a fresh perspective and detailed recommendations, such as the implementation of a new, simplified EMEA management organizational structure; assigning dedicated resources across the region to improve our pricing, purchasing and sales management practices; and implementing our restructuring program. In addition, both the Azlan integration and our IT systems upgrade and harmonization project were substantially complete at the end of fiscal 2006, which has alleviated the diversion of management resources to these initiatives.

With respect to our restructuring program, we have recorded charges for workforce reductions and the optimization of facilities and systems. Excluding consulting costs, the current estimate of charges associated with the restructuring program are estimated to be in the range of $50.0 to $55.0 million, compared to the original estimate of $40.0 to $50.0 million. The increase in the total estimated restructuring costs is the result of an increase in the estimated cost of headcount reductions and certain asset write-offs. The $50.0 to $55.0 million is comprised of $35.0 to $37.0 million for workforce reductions and $15.0 to $18.0 million for the optimization of facilities and systems. We expect initiatives related to the restructuring program to generate annualized savings in the same range. Through April 30, 2006, the Company has incurred $37.4 million ($30.9 million in the year ended January 31, 2006) related to the restructuring program, comprised of $23.8 million ($18.9 million in the year ended January 31, 2006) for workforce reductions and $13.6 million ($12.0 million in the year ended January 31, 2006) for facility costs. The remaining charges are expected to be incurred over the next two quarters with all U.S. dollar amounts being approximated using an exchange rate of .833 euros per U.S. dollar. Costs related to the restructuring program have been funded by operating cash flows and our credit facilities. Costs recorded in each quarter may vary depending upon the timing of certain actions. The costs related to this restructuring program, other than the external consulting costs, are reflected within the Consolidated Statement of Operations as “restructuring charges”, which is a component of operating income. In addition, during the three months ended April 30, 2006, the Company incurred $4.1 million of external consulting costs related to the restructuring program. These consulting costs are included in SG&A in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company expects to continue to incur external consulting costs related to the restructuring program through fiscal 2007. These consulting costs, along with the costs of internal personnel currently dedicated to the implementation of the restructuring program and other incremental costs indirectly related to the restructuring program, will partially offset the savings we expect to realize from the EMEA restructuring program (see further discussion below and in Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for related discussion of our restructuring program).

Effective February 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share Based Payments” (“SFAS No. 123R”), using the modified prospective transition method, and therefore have not restated our results of operations for the prior periods. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 includes compensation expense for stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 31, 2006, and for stock-based compensation awards granted after January 31, 2006. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, we recognize stock-based compensation expense, reduced for estimated forfeitures, on a straight line basis over the requisite service period of the award. During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we recognized $1.9 million of stock-based compensation expense as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R. See further discussion related to our adoption of SFAS No. 123R included in Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The information included within MD&A is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventory, vendor incentives, goodwill and intangible assets, deferred taxes, and contingencies. Our estimates and judgments are based on currently available information, historical results, and other assumptions we believe are reasonable. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Accounts Receivable

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. In estimating the required allowance, we take into consideration the overall quality and aging of the receivable portfolio, the existence of credit insurance and specifically identified customer risks. Also influencing our estimates are the following: (1) the large number of customers and their dispersion across wide geographic areas; (2) the fact that no single customer accounts for more than 5% of our net sales; (3) the value and adequacy of collateral received from customers, if any; and 4) our historical loss experience. If actual customer performance were to deteriorate to an extent not expected by us, additional allowances may be required which could have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial results.

Inventory

We value our inventory at the lower of cost or market value, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out method. We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon an aging analysis of the inventory on hand, specifically known inventory-related risks (such as technological obsolescence and the nature of vendor terms surrounding price protection and product returns), foreign currency fluctuations for foreign-sourced products, and assumptions about future demand. Market conditions or changes in terms and conditions by our vendors that are less favorable than those projected by management may require additional inventory write-downs, which could have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial results.

Vendor Incentives

We receive incentives from vendors related to cooperative advertising allowances, infrastructure funding, volume rebates and other incentive agreements. These incentives are generally under quarterly, semi-annual or annual agreements with the vendors; however, some of these incentives are negotiated on an ad-hoc basis to support specific programs mutually developed with the vendor. Unrestricted volume rebates and early payment discounts received from vendors are recorded as a reduction of inventory upon receipt of funds and as a reduction of cost of products sold as the related inventory is sold. Incentives received from vendors for specifically identified cooperative advertising programs and infrastructure funding are recorded as adjustments to selling, general and administrative expenses, and any reimbursement in excess of the related cost is recorded in the same manner as unrestricted volume rebates, as discussed above.

Actual rebates may vary based on volume or other sales achievement levels, which could result in an increase or reduction in the estimated amounts previously accrued. We also provide reserves for receivables on vendor programs for estimated losses resulting from our vendors’ inability to pay or rejections of claims by vendors. Should amounts recorded as outstanding receivables from vendors be uncollectible, additional allowances may be required which could have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial results.

Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets

The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed at least annually for impairment and may also be reviewed more frequently if current events and circumstances indicate a possible impairment. An impairment loss is charged to expense in the period identified. We also examine the carrying value of our intangible assets with finite lives, which includes capitalized software and development costs, purchased intangibles, and other long-lived assets as current events and circumstances warrant determining whether there are any impairment losses. If indicators of impairment are present and future cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the assets’ carrying amount, an impairment loss is charged to expense in the period identified. Factors that may cause goodwill, intangible asset or other long-lived asset impairment include negative industry or economic trends and significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results. Our valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, estimating the net present value of the projected cash flows to be realized from the related assets in our reporting units. If actual results are substantially lower than our projections underlying these assumptions, or if market discount rates substantially increase, our future valuations could be adversely affected, potentially resulting in future impairment charges.

Income Taxes

We record valuation allowances to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. In assessing the adequacy of a recorded valuation allowance, we consider a variety of factors including, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, future taxable income, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. If we determine we would be able to use a deferred tax asset in the future in excess of its net carrying value, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be made to reduce income tax expense, thereby increasing net income in the period such determination was made. Should we determine that we are unable to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be made to income tax expense, thereby reducing net income in the period such determination was made.

Contingencies

We accrue for contingent obligations, including estimated legal costs, when the obligation is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. As facts concerning contingencies become known, we reassess our position and make appropriate adjustments to the financial statements. Estimates that are particularly sensitive to future changes include those related to tax, legal, and other regulatory matters such as imports and exports, the imposition of international governmental controls, changes in the interpretation and enforcement of international laws (in particular related to items such as duty and taxation), and the impact of local economic conditions and practices, which are all subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation process.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Legislation

See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the discussion on recent accounting pronouncements and legislation.

Results of Operations

We do not consider stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS No. 123R in assessing the performance of our operating segments, therefore the Company is reporting this as a separate amount.

Net Sales

Our consolidated net sales were $4.9 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, a decrease of 2.4% when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2006. On a regional basis, during the first quarter of fiscal 2007, net sales in the Americas increased by 4.0% over the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and decreased by 7.5% in EMEA (growth was flat on a euro basis).

Our sales performance in the Americas is primarily due to stronger sales to direct marketers and retailers compared to the same period of the prior year. Both our Americas and EMEA growth during the quarter were slightly below the growth of the market in their respective regions, as we focused on sales profitability and realigning our customer and vendor portfolio to better position us for long-term profitability.

Table of Contents

Gross Profit

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales (“gross margin”) decreased to 4.80% during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 from 5.22% in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The decrease in gross margin is primarily attributable to the highly competitive pricing environment in our EMEA operations and to a lesser extent, changes in customer and product mix in both EMEA and the Americas. We continuously evaluate our pricing policies and terms and conditions offered to our customers in response to changes in our vendors’ terms and conditions and the general market environment. As we continue to evaluate our existing pricing policies and make future changes, if any, we may experience moderated or negative sales growth. In addition, increased competition and changes in general economic conditions within the markets in which we conduct business may hinder our ability to maintain and/or improve gross margin from its current level.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)

SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased to 4.08% in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to 4.18% in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of sales for the quarter is the result of continued cost saving initiatives and improvements in productivity, particularly in EMEA, where we are beginning to realize the benefits associated with our restructuring efforts. We strive to continuously improve our business model through our constant monitoring of costs, including tight budgetary controls and productivity reviews.

In absolute dollars, worldwide SG&A decreased by $9.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The year-over-year decrease in SG&A is primarily attributable to benefits realized from our restructuring program, offset by external consulting costs incurred of $4.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 related to our EMEA restructuring program, $1.9 million of compensation expense related to SFAS No. 123R, higher credit costs, and to a lesser extent, a stronger U.S. dollar versus the euro in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006.

Restructuring Charges

As discussed earlier in this MD&A, in May 2005, we announced a formal restructuring program to better align the EMEA operating cost structure with the current business environment. In connection with this restructuring program, we continue to record charges related to workforce reductions and the optimization of facilities and systems. For the quarter ended April 30, 2006, we incurred $6.5 million related to the restructuring program, comprised of $4.9 million for workforce reductions and $1.6 million for facility costs. Through April 30, 2006, we have incurred $37.4 million related to the restructuring program, comprised of $23.8 million for workforce reductions and $13.6 million for facility costs.

Interest Expense, Discount on Sale of Accounts Receivable, Interest Income, Foreign Currency Exchange Gains/Losses

Interest expense increased 30.8% to $9.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to $7.0 million in the first quarter of the prior year. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, we repurchased the $290.0 million convertible subordinated debentures using existing revolving credit facilities, which have a higher short-term borrowing rate. In addition to an increase in the balance of outstanding revolving credit facilities, the average short-term rate increased in comparison to the same period of the prior fiscal year, resulting in an increase in interest expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to the same period of the prior year.

The discount related to the sale of accounts receivable was $2.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The discount is associated with accounts receivable purchase facility agreements executed in fiscal 2006 (see further discussion below and in Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Interest income increased 41.9% to $2.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 from $1.5 million in the first quarter of the prior year. The increase in interest income during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 is primarily attributable to higher interest rates earned on short-term cash investments compared to the same period of the prior year.

We realized a net foreign currency exchange loss of $0.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to a net foreign currency exchange loss of $0.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2006. We recognize net foreign currency exchange gains and losses primarily due to the fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the euro, and to a lesser extent, versus other currencies. It continues to be our goal to minimize foreign currency exchange gains and losses through an effective hedging program. Our hedging policy prohibits speculative foreign currency exchange transactions.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for continuing operations was 54% in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and 30% in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The increase in the effective tax rate during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 is primarily the result of estimated annual losses in tax jurisdictions where the Company is not able to record a tax benefit.

 

21


Table of Contents

The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% during these periods for the reason discussed above, as well as tax rate benefits of certain earnings from operations in lower-tax jurisdictions throughout the world for which no U.S. taxes have been provided because such earnings are planned to be reinvested indefinitely outside the U.S.

The overall effective tax rate is dependent upon the geographic distribution of our worldwide earnings or losses and changes in tax laws or interpretations of these laws in our operating jurisdictions. We regularly monitor the assumptions used in estimating our annual effective tax rate and adjust our estimates accordingly. If actual results differ from our estimates, future income tax expense could be materially affected.

Our future effective tax rates could be adversely affected by earnings being lower than anticipated in countries where we have lower statutory rates, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets or liabilities or changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof. In addition, our income tax returns are subject to continuous examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. At April 30, 2006, we believe we have appropriately accrued for probable income tax exposures. To the extent we prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or are required to pay amounts in excess of such accruals, our effective tax rate in a given financial statement period could be materially affected.

Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax

The results of operations and the gain on sale of the Training Business have been reclassified and presented as “discontinued operations, net of tax”, within the Consolidated Statement of Operations for all periods presented. For the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we realized income from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $3.9 million, comprised of a $3.8 million gain, net of tax, on the sale of the Training Business and $0.1 million of income from operations of the Training Business prior to the sale. We realized $0.9 million of income from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005:

Net cash provided by operating activities increased during the first three months of fiscal 2007 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2006 due primarily to better management of our cash conversion cycle, further discussed below. We continue to focus on working capital management by monitoring several key metrics, including our cash conversion cycle (also referred to as “net cash days”) and owned inventory levels, that we use to manage our working capital. Our net cash days are defined as days of sales outstanding in accounts receivable (“DSO”) plus days of supply on hand in inventory (“DOS”), less days of purchases outstanding in accounts payable (“DPO”). Owned inventory is calculated as the difference between our inventory and accounts payable balances divided into the inventory balance. Our net cash days improved to 30 days at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to 35 days at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2006 due to our ongoing focus on working capital management. Our owned inventory level (the percentage of inventory not financed by vendors) was a negative 26% at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2007, meaning our accounts payable balances exceeded our inventory balances by 26%. This compares to negative owned inventory of 14% at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2006.

Net cash provided by investing activities of $6.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was primarily due to $16.5 million proceeds received from the sale of the Training Business offset by $10.5 million of expenditures for the continuing expansion and upgrading of our IT systems, office facilities and equipment for our logistics centers. We expect to make total capital expenditures of approximately $50.0 million during fiscal 2007 for equipment and machinery in our logistics centers, office facilities and IT systems.

Net cash used in financing activities of $73.5 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 reflects $48.0 million of net repayments on our revolving credit lines and long-term debt and $30.1 million for the repurchase of 828,904 shares of our common stock, partially offset by $4.6 million in proceeds received for the issuance of common stock related to stock option exercises and purchases made through our Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

As of April 30, 2006, we maintained a $250.0 million Multi-currency Revolving Credit Facility (expiring in March 2010) with a syndicate of banks. We pay interest (average rate of 5.80% at April 30, 2006) under this facility at the applicable LIBOR rate plus a margin based on our credit ratings. Additionally, we maintained a $400.0 million Receivables Securitization Program (expiring in August 2006) with a syndicate of banks. We pay interest (average rate of 5.25% at April 30, 2006) on the Receivables Securitization Program at designated commercial paper rates plus an agreed-upon margin. In addition to these credit facilities, we maintained lines of credit and overdraft facilities totaling approximately $673.0 million (average interest rate on borrowings was 3.91% at April 30, 2006).

The total capacity of the aforementioned credit facilities was approximately $1.3 billion, of which $192.3 million was outstanding at April 30, 2006. Our credit agreements contain limitations on the amounts of annual dividend payments and repurchases of common stock. Additionally, the credit agreements require compliance with certain warranties and covenants on a continuing basis. The financial ratio covenants contained within the credit agreements include a debt to capitalization ratio, an interest to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) ratio, and a tangible net worth requirement. At April 30, 2006, we were in compliance with all such covenants. The ability to draw funds under these credit facilities is dependent upon sufficient collateral (in the case of the Receivables Securitization Program) and meeting the aforementioned financial covenants, which may limit our ability to draw the full amount of these facilities. As of April 30, 2006, the maximum amount that could be borrowed under these facilities, in consideration of the availability of collateral and the financial covenants, was approximately $1.1 billion.

At April 30, 2006, we had issued standby letters of credit of $23.4 million. These letters of credit typically act as a guarantee of payment to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions. The issuance of these letters of credit reduces our available capacity under the above mentioned facilities by the same amount.

In May 2006, we withdrew our $500.0 million universal shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission as we made the decision not to issue debt or equity securities through this registration statement.

In fiscal 2006, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $200.0 million of our common stock. Our share repurchases are made on the open market through block trades or otherwise. The number of shares purchased and the timing of the purchases is based on working capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors, including alternative investment opportunities. Shares we repurchase are held in treasury for general corporate purposes, including issuances under employee equity incentive plans. During the quarter ended April 30, 2006, we repurchased 828,904 shares comprised of 826,316 shares purchased in conjunction with the our share repurchase program and 2,588 shares purchased outside of the stock repurchase program, at an average of $36.31 per share, for a total cost, including expenses, of $30.1 million. As of April 30, 2006, the Company has $50.0 million remaining to purchase shares under the share repurchase program.

We believe that our existing sources of liquidity, including cash resources and cash provided by operating activities, supplemented as necessary with funds available under our credit arrangements, will provide sufficient resources to meet our present and future working capital and cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Synthetic Lease Facility

In July 2003, we completed a restructuring of our synthetic lease facility with a group of financial institutions (the “Restructured Lease”) under which we lease certain logistics centers and office facilities from a third-party lessor. The Restructured Lease expires in 2008, at which time we have the following options: renew the lease for an additional five years, purchase the properties at an amount equal to their cost, or remarket the properties. If we elect to remarket the properties, we have guaranteed the lessor a percentage of the cost of each of the properties, in an aggregate amount of $121.0 million (the “residual value guarantee”). At any time during the lease term, we may at our option, purchase up to four of the seven properties, at an amount equal to each property’s cost. The Restructured Lease contains covenants that must be complied with on a continuous basis consistent with the covenants described in certain of the credit facilities discussed in Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The financial ratio covenants contained within the credit agreements include a debt to capitalization ratio, an interest to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, deprecation and amortization) ratio and a tangible net worth requirement. The amount funded under the Restructured Lease ($136.7 million at April 30, 2006) is treated as debt under the definition of the covenants required under both the Restructured Lease and the credit facilities. As of April 30, 2006, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

The sum of future minimum lease payments under the Restructured Lease at April 30, 2006 was $19.1 million. Properties leased under the Restructured Lease facility total 2.5 million square feet of space, with land totaling 204 acres. These properties are located in Clearwater and Miami, Florida; Fort Worth, Texas; Fontana, California; Suwannee, Georgia; Swedesboro, New Jersey; and South Bend, Indiana.

The Restructured Lease has been accounted for as an operating lease. FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 46 requires us to evaluate whether an entity with which it is involved meets the criteria of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and, if so, whether we are required to consolidate that entity. We have determined that the third-party lessor of our synthetic lease facility does not meet the criteria of a VIE and, therefore, is not subject to the consolidation provisions of FIN No. 46.

Trade Receivables Purchase Facility Agreements

We have revolving trade receivables purchase facility agreements (the “Receivables Facilities”) with third-party financial institutions to sell accounts receivable on a non-recourse basis. We use the Receivables Facilities as a source of working capital funding. The Receivables Facilities limit the amount of purchased accounts receivable the financial institutions may hold to $352.0 million at April 30, 2006, based on currency exchange rates at that date. Under the Receivables Facilities, we may sell certain accounts receivable (the “Receivables”) in exchange for cash less a discount based on LIBOR plus a margin. Such transactions have been accounted for as a true sale, in accordance with SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities”. The Receivables Facilities, which have various expiration dates, require that we continue to service, administer and collect the sold accounts receivable. During the quarter ended April 30, 2006, we received gross proceeds of $261.8 million from the sale of the Receivables and recognized related discounts totaling $2.6 million. The proceeds, net of the discount incurred, are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in operating activities within cash received from customers and the change in accounts receivable. Prior to the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company did not utilize the Receivables Facilities as a source of funding.

Guarantees

As is customary in the IT industry, to encourage certain customers to purchase products from us, we have arrangements with certain finance companies that provide inventory financing facilities to our customers. In conjunction with certain of these arrangements, we would be required to purchase certain inventory in the event the inventory is repossessed from the customers by the finance companies. As we do not have access to information regarding the amount of inventory purchased from us still on hand with the customer at any point in time, our repurchase obligations relating to inventory cannot be reasonably estimated. Repurchases of inventory by us under these arrangements have been insignificant to date. We believe that, based on historical experience, the likelihood of a material loss pursuant to these inventory repurchase obligations is remote.

We provide additional financial guarantees to finance companies on behalf of certain customers. The majority of these guarantees are for an indefinite period of time, where we would be required to perform if the customer is in default with the finance company. We review the underlying credit for these guarantees on at least an annual basis. As of April 30, 2006 and January 31, 2006, the aggregate amount of guarantees under these arrangements totaled $12.4 million and $7.0 million, respectively, of which $8.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively, was outstanding. We believe that, based on historical experience, the likelihood of a material loss pursuant to the above guarantees is remote.

Additionally, in connection with the sale of the Training Business discussed previously, we are continuing to negotiate the assignment of several of the related facility lease obligations with the lessors of such properties. To the extent the lessors are unwilling to agree to a

Table of Contents

direct lease arrangement with the purchaser, we will remain liable in the event of default by the purchaser of the Training Business. The majority of these lease obligations expire at various dates over the next three years and would require us to make all required payments under the lease agreements in the event of default by the purchaser. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that we could be required to make under the guarantees is approximately $9.6 million as of April 30, 2006. We believe that the likelihood of a material loss pursuant to these guarantees is remote.

We also provide residual value guarantees related to the Restructured Lease which have been recorded at the estimated fair value of the residual guarantees.

Asset Management

We manage our inventories by maintaining sufficient quantities to achieve high order fill rates while attempting to stock only those products in high demand with a rapid turnover rate. Inventory balances fluctuate as we add new product lines and when appropriate, we make large purchases, including cash purchases from manufacturers and publishers when the terms of such purchases are considered advantageous. Our contracts with most of our vendors provide price protection and stock rotation privileges to reduce the risk of loss due to manufacturer price reductions and slow moving or obsolete inventory. In the event of a vendor price reduction, we generally receive a credit for the impact on products in inventory and we have the right to rotate a certain percentage of purchases, subject to certain limitations. Historically, price protection and stock rotation privileges as well as our inventory management procedures have helped to reduce the risk of loss of inventory value.

We attempt to control losses on credit sales by closely monitoring customers’ creditworthiness through our IT systems, which contain detailed information on each customer’s payment history and other relevant information. We have obtained credit insurance that insures a percentage of the credit extended by us to certain customers against possible loss. Customers who qualify for credit terms are typically granted net 30-day payment terms in the Americas. While credit terms in EMEA vary by country, the vast majority of customers are granted credit terms ranging from 30-60 days. We also sell products on a prepay, credit card, cash on delivery and floor plan basis.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

For a description of the Company’s market risks, see “Item 7a. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006. No material changes have occurred in our market risks since January 31, 2006.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2006. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls were effective as of April 30, 2006. There were no material changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Prior to fiscal 2004, one of the Company’s European subsidiaries was audited in relation to various value-added tax (“VAT”) matters. As a result of those audits, the subsidiary has received notices of assessment that allege the subsidiary did not properly collect and remit VAT. It is management’s opinion, based upon the opinion of outside legal counsel, that the Company has valid defenses related to a substantial portion of these assessments. Although the Company is vigorously pursuing administrative and judicial action to challenge the assessments, no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome. The resolution of such assessments could be material to the Company’s operating results for any particular period, depending upon the level of income for such period.

The Company is subject to various other legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s management does not expect the outcome in any of these other legal proceedings, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2006, which could materially affect our business, financial position and results of operations. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations.

The risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2006 should be considered in connection with evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q because these factors could cause the actual results and conditions to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock or other securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use Of Proceeds

In March 2005, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $100.0 million of the Company’s common stock (increased to $200.0 million in November 2005). The share repurchases are made on the open market, through block trades or otherwise. The number of shares purchased and the timing of the purchases is based on working capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors, including alternative investment opportunities. Shares repurchased by the Company are held in treasury for general corporate purposes, including issuances under employee equity incentive plans.

The following table presents information with respect to purchases of common stock by the Company under the share repurchase program during the quarter ended April 30, 2006:

Item 4. Submission Of Matters To A Vote Of Security Holders

At the 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held June 6, 2006, the shareholders approved the following items:

A proposal to approve the election of two directors, Kathy Misunas and Steven A. Raymund, with terms to expire in 2009. The vote upon such proposal was as follows:

 

     For    Withheld

Kathy Misunas

   51,114,102    655,222

Steve A. Raymund

   50,444,653    1,324,671

Directors James M. Cracchiolo, Jeffery P. Howells, David M. Upton, Charles E. Adair, Maximilian Ardelt and John Y. Williams will continue in office for their respective terms.

A proposal to approve an amendment to the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan of Tech Data Corporation (the “Plan”) to increase the number of shares of common stock available for grant under the Plan from 6,500,000 to 9,500,000 shares, an increase of 3,000,000 shares of common stock. The amendment also increases the limits within the Plan of the amount of restricted stock and restricted stock units that may be issued from 200,000 to 800,000, and of performance grants that may be issued from 200,000 to 800,000. These limit increases do not affect the total number of common stock available for grant under the Plan. The vote upon such proposal was 36,907,386 in favor, 9,137,932 against and 331,669 abstained. Shares voted in abstentions had the effect of a vote against the amendment and broker non-votes were considered “not entitled to vote” on this proposal.

Item 5. Other Information

The form and amount of compensation paid to Tech Data Corporation’s non-employee directors is reviewed from time to time by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) to consider, among other things, market trends relating to director compensation. On June 6, 2006, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board approved changes to the cash compensation of the non-employee directors, effective for fiscal 2007. The increase in compensation follows the recommendation of independent compensation consultants based on an analysis of the compensation paid to directors of industry peers and competitive practices, and reflects the increased responsibilities of board membership following the adoption of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and new Securities and Exchange Commission regulations.

The non-employee director compensation is as follows:

Section 3. Vesting of Maximum Value Stock-Settled Stock Appreciation Right. The MVSSAR shall vest and become exercisable according to the vesting schedule described in Part I and subject to the provisions of Section 10 of this agreement.

After a portion of the MVSSAR has become exercisable and during the term of this MVSSAR, the Holder shall be entitled to decide whether to exercise his/her MVSSAR subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.

Section 4. Exercise of Maximum Value Stock - -Settled Appreciation Rights.

(a) Right to Exercise and Term of MVSSAR. This MVSSAR is exercisable in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in Part I, and the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the Plan. The term of this MVSSAR shall be for ten years from the date of the grant of this MVSSAR, subject to the provisions of Section 10 of this Agreement.

(b) Exercise Payment. Upon any exercise of a vested MVSSAR, the Holder is entitled to receive the exercise payment which, for each one MVSSAR, is calculated as the excess, if any, of the Exercise Fair Market Value of the vested MVSSAR that is exercised over the Grant Price, but not to exceed the Maximum Value per MVSSAR (the “Exercise Payment”). The Exercise Payment will be calculated in reference to each one MVSSAR that is exercised. The aggregate Exercise Payment will be settled in Shares calculated using the Exercise Fair Market Value.

(c) Method of Exercise. Exercise of the MVSSAR shall be made by delivery of a “Broker Selection Form” (the form of which is determined at the Company’s discretion) by the Holder to the Company, and delivery of a written notice of exercise (or, if the Company permits, by electronic or voice methods) by Holder to the Company or its designate before an exercise, or by delivery of a notice of exercise in any other administrative method prescribed by the Company in the future. In the notice, the Holder must specify the number of MVSSARs that are to be exercised and the share delivery instructions.

(d) Automatic Exercise. Not withstanding Section 4(c), in the event that the Exercise Fair Market Value of the Shares is such that the Exercise Payment a Holder would be entitled to receive is the Maximum Value per MVSSAR, the Holder hereby agrees to the automatic exercise of all vested MVSSARs under this Agreement such that all the MVSSARs which are vested under this agreement at that time will be exercised and the Shares will be delivered to the Holder as best determined by the Company at its discretion. Upon such exercise, the Holder will be entitled to receive the Exercise Payment calculated in reference to each vested MVSSAR under this agreement subject to the exercise.

(e) Non-Transferability. This MVSSAR is exercisable by the Holder hereof only during the Holder’s lifetime and may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any manner other than by will or by applicable laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or Rules thereunder.

30


(f) Minimum MVSSAR Exercise. Holder must exercise a minimum number of MVSSAR such that the aggregate Exercise Payment for all MVSSAR exercised at any one time must at least equal the Exercise Fair Market Value of a Share at exercise.

Section 5. Delivery of Shares. Within a reasonable time following the receipt of the notice of exercise of the MVSSAR pursuant to Section 4 thereof, the Company will issue or cause to be delivered to the Holder (or if any other individual or individuals are exercising this MVSSAR, to such individual or individuals) the Exercise Payment, i.e., the number of Shares the Holder is entitled to receive as a result of the exercise of the MVSSAR, registered in the name of the Holder (or the name or names of the individual or individuals exercising the MVSSAR, either alone or jointly with another person or persons with rights of survivorship, as the individual or individuals exercising the MVSSAR shall prescribe in writing or other methods allowed to the Company) but in any event, such Shares shall be delivered within the period ending on the later to occur of the date that is 2  1/2 months from the end of (i) the Holder’s tax year that includes the exercise date or (ii) the Company’s tax year that includes the exercise date; provided, however, that such delivery shall be deemed effected for all purposes when a stock transfer agent shall have deposited such Shares according to the delivery instructions; and provided further that if any law, regulation or order of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or other body having jurisdiction shall require the Company or the Holder (or the individual or individuals exercising this MVSSAR) to take any action in connection with delivery of the Shares, then, subject to the other provisions of this paragraph, the date on which such delivery shall be deemed to have occurred shall be extended for the period necessary to take and complete such action, it being understood that the Company shall have no obligation to take and complete any such action. Fractional Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an MVSSAR.

Section 6. Tax Withholding Obligations. To meet the obligations of the Company or affiliates of the Company with respect to withholding of any and all income tax (including federal, state and local taxes), social insurance contributions, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”) under any domestic or foreign federal, state or local statute, ordinance, rule, or regulation in connection with any aspect of the MVSSARs, including, but not limited to, the grant, the vesting and/or the exercise of an MVSSAR into Shares, or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired at exercise and the receipt of any dividends, the Committee may require that the Company withhold a number of whole Shares otherwise deliverable to Holder having an Exercise Fair Market Value sufficient to satisfy the statutory minimum (or such higher amount as is allowable without adverse accounting consequences) of the Holder’s estimated total obligation for Tax-Related Items associated with any aspect of the MVSSAR. The Administrator may also, in lieu of or in addition to the foregoing, at its sole discretion, (i) require the Holder to deposit with the Company an amount of cash sufficient to meet his or her obligation for Tax-Related Items with respect to such Holder, (ii) withhold the required amounts from the Holder’s pay during the pay periods next following the date on which any such applicable tax liability otherwise arises, and/or (iii) sell or arrange for the sale of Shares to be issued on the exercise of the MVSSAR to satisfy the Holder’s obligation for Tax-Related Items with respect to such Holders. If the Holder’s and/or the Company’s withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied as described in (iii) of this section, the Company will endeavor to sell only the number of Shares required to satisfy the Holder’s and/or the Company’s withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items; however, the Holder agrees that the Company may sell more Shares than necessary to cover the Tax-Related Items. The Company shall not deliver any of the Shares until and unless the Holder has made the deposit required herein or proper provision for required withholding has been made. The Holder hereby consents to any action reasonably taken by the Company to meet his or her obligation for Tax-Related Items.

Section 7. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. The existence of this MVSSAR shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make, authorize or consummate (i) any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business; (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company; (iii) any issue by the Company of debt securities, or preferred or preference stock that would rank above the shares subject to MVSSARs; (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (v) any sale, transfer or outstanding assignment of all or any part of the assets or business of the Company; or (vi) any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

If the Company shall affect any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock through the declaration of a stock dividend or through any recapitalization resulting in a stock split-up, combination or exchange of shares of Common Stock, then and in such event an appropriate adjustment shall be made in the number of shares of Common Stock subject to this MVSSAR, to the Grant Price and to the Maximum Value per MVSSAR so that the same percentage of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock shall remain subject to purchase at the same aggregate Grant Price, subject to the Maximum Value per MVSSAR as adjusted for such transaction in the manner determined by the Board.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the issuance by the Company of shares of its capital stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of capital stock of any class, either in connection with direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefore, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to the number of MVSSARs, the Grant Price or the Maximum Value per MVSSAR.

 

31


Section 8. Effect of Certain Transactions. In the event of a Change in Control, as defined in the Plan, except as the Board, comprised of a majority of Continuing Directors, may expressly provide otherwise, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, all MVSSARs then outstanding shall become fully exercisable as of the date of the Change in Control, whether or not then exercisable.

The Board or the Committee may in its sole discretion accelerate the date on which the MVSSAR may be exercised and may accelerate the vesting of any Shares subject to the MVSSAR.

Section 9. Rights of Holder. No person shall, by virtue of the granting of this MVSSAR to the Holder, be deemed to be a holder of any Shares underlying this MVSSAR or be entitled to the rights or privileges of a holder of such Shares unless and until this MVSSAR has been exercised with respect to such Shares and the Shares have been issued pursuant to that exercise of this MVSSAR.

The Holder shall not by virtue of the granting of this MVSSAR have any claim or right to be granted an MVSSAR in the future or to participate in any other compensation plan, program or arrangement of the Company.

The granting of this MVSSAR shall not impose upon the Company any obligations to employ or to continue to employ the Holder; and the right of the Company to terminate the employment of the Holder shall not be diminished or affected by reason of the fact that this MVSSAR has been granted to the Holder.

Nothing herein contained shall impose any obligation upon the Holder to exercise this MVSSAR except with respect to the automatic exercise pursuant to Section 4.

At all times while any portion of this MVSSAR is outstanding, the Company shall reserve and keep available, out of shares of its authorized and unissued stock or reacquired shares, a sufficient number of Shares to satisfy the requirements of this MVSSAR; comply with the terms of this MVSSAR promptly upon exercise of the MVSSAR; and pay all fees or expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in connection with the issuance and delivery of Shares pursuant to the exercise of this MVSSAR.

Section 10. Termination. The MVSSAR granted hereunder shall terminate on the earliest to occur of:

(i) termination of employment for cause or voluntary separation on the part of the Holder without the consent of the Company or Subsidiary;

(ii) the expiration of the term of this MVSSAR; or

(iii) other than in the case of death of the Holder, approved retirement as determined by the Committee or its designee (“Retirement”) or disability of the Holder within the meaning of Section 22(e) (3) of the Code (“Disability”), 90 days after termination of the employment or other relationship between the Company and the Holder other than as set forth in Section 10(i) above.

An employment relationship between the Company and the Holder shall be deemed to exist during any period during which the Holder is employed by the Company or by any Subsidiary. Whether authorized leave of absence or absence on military government service shall constitute termination of the employment relationship between the Company and the Holder shall be determined by the administrator, designated by the Committee at the time thereof.

If the Holder’s employment terminates because of a Retirement, the term of this MVSSAR shall then terminate one year following the date on which the Holder’s employment was terminated or if earlier, at the expiration of the term of this MVSSAR.

In the event of the death or Disability of the Holder during employment or other relationship with the Company and before the date of expiration of the MVSSAR, the MVSSAR shall become immediately and fully exercisable and the term of this MVSSAR shall then terminate one year following the date of such death or disability or at the expiration of the term of this MVSSAR, if earlier. In the case of death of the Holder, the Holder’s executors, administrators or any person or persons to whom this MVSSAR may be transferred by will or by laws of descent and distribution, shall have the right, at any time prior to termination of this MVSSAR, to fully exercise this MVSSAR.

 

32


Section 11. No Compensation Deferrals. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement is intended to provide for an elective deferral of compensation that would be subject to Section 409A (“Section 409A”) of the Code. The Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and/or this Agreement to ensure that no awards (including without limitation, this MVSSAR) become subject to Section 409A, provided, however, the Company makes no representation that this MVSSAR is not subject to Section 409A nor makes any undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to this MVSSAR.

Section 12. Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the MVSSAR granted under the Plan, and participation in the plan on future MVSSAR that may be granted under the Plan, by electronic means or to request the Holder’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. The Holder hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and; if requested, to participate in the Plan through an on-line (and/or voice activated) system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company. If required by local law or by the Company, the Holder may be required to print out, sign and return to the Company the electronic document and/or this Agreement indicating his or her consent to participate in the Plan.

Section 13. Government and Other Regulations; Governing Law. This MVSSAR is subject to all laws, regulations and orders of any governmental authority which may be applicable thereto and, notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, the Holder agrees that he will not exercise this MVSSAR granted hereby nor will the Company be obligated to issue any Shares hereunder if the grant, vesting or exercise thereof or the issuance of such Shares, as the case may be, would constitute a violation by the Holder or the Company of any such law, regulation or order or any provision thereof. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of this MVSSAR or the issuance of Shares pursuant hereto to comply with any such law, regulation, order or provision.

This MVSSAR is and shall be subject in every respect to the provisions of the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan of Tech Data Corporation, as amended from time to time, which is incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. The Holder hereby accepts this MVSSAR subject to all the terms and provisions of the Plan and agrees that all decisions under and interpretations of the Plan by the Committee or the Board shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Holder and his heirs and legal representatives.

This MVSSAR shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without regard to its principle of conflict of laws. For purposes of litigating any dispute arising under this Agreement, the parties hereby agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of Pinellas County, Florida.

Section 14. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable

II. AGREEMENT

For valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged (electronically or using a method accepted by the Company), the Company hereby grants to the Participant the following Performance Grant in the form of Restricted Stock Units (hereinafter called the “PRSU”) in accordance with the following terms:

Section 1. Definitions. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in this Agreement shall have the same defined meanings as in the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail.

34


Section 3. Vesting of PRSU. As set forth in the vesting schedule in Part I, and subject to the provisions of Sections 8 and 10 of this Agreement, the PRSU shall vest based upon the level of attainment of the Performance Goals determined using the Performance Measure and during the Performance Period specified in Appendix A. For Performance Grants made to all Participants, including Covered Employees, the Committee will determine whether and the extent to which the Performance Goals have been attained, and the Participant will become vested in the portion of the PRSU (which may be zero) that corresponds to this attainment level, as set forth in Appendix A. The Committee’s determination will be final and conclusive. Until the Committee has made such a determination, the Performance Goals may not be considered to have been attained for vesting purposes. Further, unless and until all or a portion of the PRSU vests, as determined by the Committee, the Participant will have no right to payment of any part of the PRSU. Prior to actual payment of any part of the PRSU that is vested, the PRSU will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company in accordance with Section 13(c) of the Plan.

Section 4. Non-Transferability of PRSU. All rights with respect to this PRSU are exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant and the PRSU may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any manner other than by will or by applicable laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or Rules thereunder.

Section 5. Delivery of Shares. Subject to the other terms of the Plan and this Agreement, within a reasonable time following the date that the Committee determines the extent to which the Performance Goals have been attained (the “Vesting Date”), the Company will issue or cause to be delivered to the Participant (or if any other individual or individuals then hold this PRSU, to such individual or individuals) the number of Shares the Participant is entitled to receive as a result of the vesting of the PRSU (subject to the dollar limitation in Section 2, above), registered in the name of the Participant (or the name or names of the individual or individuals that then hold the PRSU, either alone or jointly with another person or persons with rights of survivorship, as such individual or individuals shall prescribe in writing or other methods allowed to the Company), but in any event, within the period ending on the later to occur of the date that is 2 1/2 months from the end of (i) the Participant’s tax year that includes the Vesting Date, or (ii) the Company’s tax year that includes the Vesting Date (which payment schedule is intended to comply with the “short-term deferral” exemption from the application of Section 409A (“Section 409A”) of the Code. Not withstanding the foregoing, the delivery of Shares upon vesting of a PRSU may be delayed under the following circumstances:

(i) if the amount to be paid would violate a loan covenant to which the Company is a party, and the violation is expected to cause material harm to the Company provided, however, that the distribution will occur at the earliest date it is reasonable to expect that the payment will not cause material harm;

(ii) if the amount to be paid or delivered is reasonably likely to violate federal or applicable state securities laws; provided, however, that the payment or delivery will occur at the earliest date the Company reasonably anticipate that the distribution will not cause a violation; or

(iii) if the amount to be paid to a Participant is subject to a bona fide dispute; provided, however, that the distribution occurs during the first calendar year in which the Participant and the Company enter into legally binding settlement agreement or pursuant to a final non-appealable judgment or other binding decision.

The delivery of Shares upon vesting of a PRSU shall be deemed effected for all purposes when a stock transfer agent shall have deposited such Shares according to the delivery instructions provided by Participant (or if any other individual or individuals then hold this PRSU, by such other individual or individuals). Fractional Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the vesting of a PRSU.

Section 6. Tax Withholding Obligations. To meet the obligations of the Company or affiliates of the Company with respect to withholding of any and all income tax (including federal, state and local taxes), social insurance contributions, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”) under any domestic or foreign federal, state or local statute, ordinance, rule, or regulation in connection with any aspect of the PRSUs, including, but not limited to, grant, vesting, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired at vesting or the receipt of any dividends, the Committee may require that the Company withhold a number of whole Shares otherwise deliverable to Participant having a Fair Market Value sufficient to satisfy the statutory minimum (or such higher amount as is allowable without adverse accounting consequences) of the Participant’s estimated total obligation for Tax-Related Items associated with any aspect of the PRSU. The Committee may also, in lieu of or in addition to the foregoing, at its sole discretion, (i) require the Participant to deposit with the Company an amount of cash sufficient to meet his or her obligation for Tax-Related Items, (ii) withhold the required amount from the Participant’s pay during the pay periods next following the date on which any such applicable tax liability otherwise arises, and/or (iii) sell or arrange for the sale of Shares to be issued on the vesting of the PRSU to satisfy the Participant’s obligation for Tax-Related Items. If the Participant’s and/or the Company’s withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied as described in (iii) of this section, the Company will endeavor to sell only the number of Shares required to satisfy the Participant’s and/or the Company’s withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items; however, the

 

35


Participant agrees that the Company may sell more Shares than necessary to cover the Tax-Related Items. The Company shall not deliver any of the Shares until and unless the Participant has made the deposit required herein or proper provision for required withholding has been made. The Participant hereby consents to any action reasonably taken by the Company to meet his or her obligation for Tax-Related Items.

Section 7. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. The existence of this PRSU shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make, authorize or consummate (i) any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business; (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company; (iii) any issue by the Company of debt securities, or preferred or preference stock that would rank above the shares subject to PRSUs; (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (v) any sale, transfer or outstanding assignment of all or any part of the assets or business of the Company; or (vi) any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

If the Company shall affect any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock through the declaration of a stock dividend or through any recapitalization resulting in a stock split-up, combination or exchange of shares of Common Stock, then and in such event an appropriate adjustment shall be made in the number of shares of Common Stock subject to this PRSU so that the same percentage of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock shall remain subject to the PRSU, as adjusted for such transaction in the manner determined by the Board.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the issuance by the Company of shares of its capital stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of capital stock of any class, either in connection with direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefore, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the PRSU.

Section 8. Effect of Certain Transactions. In the event of a Change in Control, as defined in the Plan, except as the Board, comprised of a majority of Continuing Directors, may expressly provide otherwise, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the target amount of the PRSUs, as set forth in Appendix A, then outstanding shall become fully vested as of the date of the Change in Control, whether or not then vested. The remaining amount of the outstanding PRSUs shall terminate as of the date of the Change in Control, unless otherwise provided by the Board, comprised of a majority of Continuing Directors.

Section 9. Rights of Participant. No person shall, by virtue of the granting of this PRSU to the Participant, be deemed to be a holder of any Shares underlying the PRSU or be entitled to the rights or privileges of a holder of such Shares unless and until this PRSU has vested with respect to such Shares and the Shares have been issued pursuant to the vesting of this PRSU.

The Participant shall not by virtue of the granting of this PRSU have any claim or right to be granted a PRSU in the future or to participate in any other compensation plan, program or arrangement of the Company.

The granting of this PRSU shall not impose upon the Company any obligations to employ or to continue to employ the Participant; and the right of the Company to terminate the employment of the Participant shall not be diminished or affected by reason of the fact that this PRSU has been granted to the Participant.

Nothing herein contained shall impose any obligation upon the Participant to accept the grant of this PRSU.

At all times while any portion of this PRSU is outstanding, the Company shall reserve and keep available, out of shares of its authorized and unissued Common Stock or reacquired Shares, a sufficient number of Shares to satisfy the requirements of this PRSU; comply with the terms of this PRSU promptly upon vesting of the PRSU; and pay all fees or expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in connection with the issuance and delivery of Shares pursuant to the vesting of this PRSU.

Section 10. Termination. The PRSU granted hereunder shall terminate on the earliest to occur of:

(i) termination of employment or other relationship between the Company and the Participant for any reason other than due to the Participant’s death or disability within the meaning of Section 22(e) (3) of the Code (“Disability”); or

(ii) termination of employment or other relationship between the Company and the Participant due to the Participant’s death or Disability within six months of the Date of Grant; or

 

36


(iii) the expiration of the Performance Period if and to the extent the Committee determines that the Performance Goals have not been attained during such period.

An employment relationship between the Company and the Participant shall be deemed to exist during any period during which the Participant is employed by the Company or by any Subsidiary. Whether authorized leave of absence or absence on military government service shall constitute termination of the employment relationship between the Company and the Participant shall be determined by the administrator designated by the Committee at the time thereof.

In the event of the death or Disability of the Participant during employment or other relationship with the Company and at least six months after the Date of Grant, the PRSU shall remain outstanding and subject to vesting until the end of the Performance Period specified in Appendix A, at which time, the Committee shall determine the extent, if any, to which the Performance Goals have been attained during the Performance Period. In the case of death of a Participant, any Shares due upon vesting will be delivered to the Participant’s executors, administrators or any person or persons to whom this PRSU may be transferred by will or by laws of descent and distribution, in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement. If, in the event of the Participant’s death, any beneficiary entitled to receive any Shares due upon vesting is a minor or, if in the event of the Participant’s Disability, the Participant is deemed by the Committee or is adjudged to be legally incapable of giving valid receipt and discharge for any Shares due upon vesting, such Shares will be paid to such person or institution as the Committee may designate or to the duly appointed guardian. Such payment shall, to the extent made, be deemed a complete discharge of any liability for such payment under the Plan.

Section 11. No Compensation Deferrals. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement is intended to provide for an elective deferral of compensation that would be subject to Section 409A of the Code. Instead, it is the intent of this Agreement to satisfy the “short- term deferral exemption described in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4). The Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and/or this Agreement to ensure that no grants (including without limitation, this PRSU) become subject to Section 409A, provided, however, the Company makes no representation that this PRSU is not subject to Section 409A nor makes any undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to this PRSU.

Section 12. Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the PRSU granted under the Plan and participation in the Plan, or future PRSUs that may be granted under the Plan, by electronic means or to request the Participant’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to participate in the Plan through an on-line (and/or voice activated) system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company. If required by local law or by the Company, the Participant may be required to print out, sign and return to the Company the electronic document and/or this Agreement indicating his or her consent to participate in the Plan.

Section 13. Government and Other Regulations; Governing Law. This PRSU is subject to all laws, regulations and orders of any governmental authority which may be applicable thereto and, notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, the Participant acknowledges that the Company will not be obligated to issue any Shares hereunder if the grant or vesting thereof or the issuance of such Shares, as the case may be, would constitute a violation by the Participant or the Company of any such law, regulation or order or any provision thereof. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the vesting of this PRSU or the issuance of Shares pursuant hereto to comply with any such law, regulation, order or provision.

This PRSU is and shall be subject in every respect to the provisions of the Amended and Restated 2000 Equity Incentive Plan of Tech Data Corporation, as amended from time to time, which is incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. The Participant hereby accepts this PRSU subject to all the terms and provisions of the Plan and agrees that all decisions under and interpretations of the Plan by the Committee or the Board shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Participant and his heirs and legal representatives.

This PRSU shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without regard to its principle of conflict of laws. For purposes of litigating any dispute arising under this Agreement, the parties hereby agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of Pinellas County, Florida.

(f) METHOD OF EXERCISE. A Stock Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased.

The Committee may also permit Participants, either on a selective or aggregate basis, to simultaneously exercise Stock Options and sell the shares of Common Stock thereby acquired pursuant to a brokerage or similar arrangement approved in advance by the Committee and to use the proceeds from such sale to pay the exercise price and withholding taxes.

(g) OPTION VALUE. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may establish, at the date of grant, terms and conditions regarding any Stock Option that limit the maximum value that a Participant may realize upon the exercise of such Stock Option as determined by reference to shares of Common Stock, based on the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise.

8. PERFORMANCE GRANTS AND AWARDS.

(a) ELIGIBILITY AND TERMS. The Committee may grant to officers of the Company and other key Employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries the prospective contingent right, expressed in Units, to receive payments of shares of Common Stock, cash or any combination thereof, with each Unit equivalent in value to one share of Common Stock, or equivalent to such other value or monetary amount as may be designated or established by the Committee or it may grant Restricted Stock Units which vesting is based upon Company performance over a specified Performance Period (“Performance Grants”). The Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine the officers of the Company and other key Employees eligible to receive Performance Grants. At the time each Performance Grant is made, the Committee shall establish the Performance Period, the Performance Measure and the targets to be attained relative to such Performance Measure (the “Performance Goals”) in respect of such Performance Grant. The number of shares of Common Stock and/or the amount of cash earned and payable in settlement of a Performance Grant shall be determined at the end of the Performance Period (a “Performance Award”).

(b) LIMITATIONS ON GRANTS AND AWARDS. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to Performance Grants shall be two-hundred thousand shares (200,000). The maximum number of shares which may be the subject of Performance Grants made to any Participant in respect of any Performance Period or during any fiscal year shall be fifty-thousand shares (50,000). The maximum amount any Participant may receive during any fiscal year as Performance Awards pursuant to Performance Grants shall not exceed two and one-half million dollars ($2,500,000), determined using the Fair Market Value of such Performance Awards as at the last day of the applicable Performance Period or Periods or as at date or dates of the payment thereof, whichever is higher.

Each Performance Grant shall provide that, in order for a Participant to receive an Award of all or a portion of the Units subject to such Performance Grant, the Company must achieve certain Performance Goals over a designated Performance Period having a minimum duration of one year, with attainment of the Performance Goals determined using a specific Performance Measure. The Performance Goals and Performance Period shall be established by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee shall establish a Performance Measure for each Performance Period for determining the portion of the Performance Grant which will be earned or forfeited based on the extent to which the Performance Goals are achieved or exceeded. In setting Performance Goals, the Committee may use a Performance Measure based on any one, or on any combination, of the following Company performance factors as the Committee deems appropriate: (i) Cumulative Net Income Per Diluted Share; (ii) Cumulative Net Income; (iii) return on sales; (iv) total shareholder return; (v) return on assets; (vi) economic value added; (vii) cash flow; (viii) return on equity; (ix) cumulative operating income (which shall equal consolidated sales minus cost of goods sold and selling, administrative and general expense) and (x) achievement of explicit strategic objectives or milestones. Performance Goals may include minimum, maximum and target levels of performance, with the size of Performance Award based on the level attained. Once established by the Committee and specified in the grant agreement, and if and to the extent provided in or required by the grant agreement, the Performance Goals and the Performance Measure in respect of any Performance Grant (or any Restricted Stock Grant, Restricted Stock Unit Grant or Stock-Based Grant that requires the


attainment of Performance Goals as a condition to the Award) shall not be changed. The Committee may, in its discretion, eliminate or reduce (but not increase) the amount of any Performance Award (or Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit or Stock-Based Award) that otherwise would be payable to a Participant upon attainment of the Performance Goal(s).

(d) FORM OF GRANTS. Performance Grants may be made on such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan, and in such form or forms, as the Committee may from time to time approve. Performance Grants may be made alone, in addition to in tandem with, or independent of other grants and Awards under the Plan. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall, in its discretion, determine the number of Units subject to each Performance Grant made to a Participant and the Committee may impose different terms and conditions on any particular Performance Grant made to any Participant. The Performance Goals, the Performance Period or Periods, and the Performance Measure applicable to a Performance Grant shall be set forth in the relevant grant agreement.

(e) PAYMENT OF AWARDS. Each Participant shall be entitled to receive payment in an amount equal to the aggregate Fair Market Value (if the Unit is equivalent to a share of Common Stock), or such other value as the Committee shall specify, of the Units earned in respect of such Performance Award.

(f) ELIGIBILITY.

(g) MANDATORY TERMS OF THE AWARD AGREEMENTS. Each Award agreement shall contain such provisions as the Board of Directors or the Committee shall from time to time deem appropriate, and shall include provisions relating to the method of exercise, payment of exercise price, adjustments on changes on the Company’s capitalization and the effect of a merger, consolidation, liquidation, sale or other disposition of or involving the Company. Award agreements shall include the following provisions:

(i) Expiration. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or of any Award agreement, each Award shall expire on the tenth anniversary of the date on which the award was granted.

(ii) Exercise. Each Award shall be deemed exercised when:

(A) In the case of Stock Options, the Company has received written notice of such exercise in accordance with the terms of the Award, accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price, plus any required withholding taxes;

(B) In the case of SARS, a Participant will receive, in the form of Common Stock, value equal to the excess of the (a) Fair Market Value of a specified number of shares of Common Stock at the date of exercise; over (b) an exercise price established by the Committee on the date of grant, subject to satisfaction of all applicable withholding tax requirements;

(C) In the case of Restricted Stock Grants and Restricted Stock Unit Grants, upon expiration of the Restriction Period and if all conditions have been satisfied, the shares of the Common Stock will be made available to the Participant, subject to satisfaction of applicable withholding tax requirements, free of all restrictions; provided, that the Committee may, in its discretion, require (a) that the Restricted Stock be retained by the Company, and (b) that the Participant receive a cash payment in lieu of unrestricted shares of Common Stock;

(D) In the case of Performance Grants, each Participant shall be entitled to receive payment in an amount equal to the aggregate Fair Market Value (if the Unit is equivalent to a share of Common Stock), or such other value as the Committee shall specify, of the Units earned in respect of such Performance Award.

Unless further limited by the Board or the Committee in any award, the option price of any shares of Common Stock purchased shall be paid in cash, by certified or official bank check, by money order, with shares of Common Stock or by a combination of the above; provided further, however, that the Board or Committee in its sole discretion may accept a personal check in full or partial payment of any shares of Common Stock. If the exercise price is paid in whole or in part with shares, the value of shares surrendered shall be their fair market value on the date the Stock Option is exercised.

(iii) Events Causing Immediate Exercise. Unless otherwise provided in any Award and notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company: (i) each outstanding Stock Option shall become immediately and fully exercisable; and (ii) all


restrictions and conditions in respect of all Restricted Stock Grants and/or Restricted Stock Unit Grants and SARs then outstanding shall be deemed satisfied; and (iii) all Performance Grants shall be deemed to have been fully earned, at the maximum amount of the Award opportunity specified in the Award Agreement.

(iv) Termination of Service or Death of Participant. Except as may be otherwise expressly provided in the terms and conditions of the Award granted to a Participant, Awards granted hereunder shall terminate on the earlier to occur of:

(A) the date of removal from the Board of Directors;

(B) the date of the expiration of the term thereof (the “Expiration Date”); or

(C) the termination of the Participant as a member of the Board of Directors by reason of voluntary resignation by the Participant or the expiration of the Participant’s elected or appointed term and other than the case of death of the Participant or disability of the Participant within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code (“disability”), the Participant shall have the right, within three (3) months after the date on which Participant shall have ceased to be a member of the Board of Directors, to exercise the unexercised portion of the Awards granted to the extent, if any, that such Awards were exercisable by the Participant on the date of such termination.

9. DEFERRALS.

The Committee may, whether at the time of grant or at anytime thereafter prior to payment or settlement, require a Participant to defer, or permit (subject to such conditions as the Committee may from time to time establish) a Participant to elect to defer, receipt of all or any portion of any payment of cash or shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be due to such Participant in payment or settlement of any Award under the Plan. If any such deferral is required by the Committee (or is elected by the Participant with the permission of the Committee), the Committee shall establish rules and procedures for such payment deferrals intended to cause the deferral to be either exempt from or in compliance with the rules and regulations of Section 409A of the Code. In any event, neither the Committee nor the Board shall have the authority to establish rules or procedures that would cause an Award that is not intended to be subject to Section 409A of the Code on the grant date to become subject thereto. The Committee may provide for the payment or crediting of interest, at such rate or rates as it shall in its discretion deem appropriate, on such deferred amounts credited in cash and the payment or crediting of dividend equivalents in respect of deferred amounts credited in Common Stock Equivalents. Deferred amounts may be paid in a lump sum or in installments in the manner and to the extent permitted, and in accordance with rules and procedures established, by the Committee.

10. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF GRANTS AND AWARDS.

No grant or Award under the Plan, and no right or interest therein, shall be (i) assignable, alienable or transferable by a Participant, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) subject to any obligation, or the lien or claims of any creditor, of any Participant, or (iii) subject to any lien, encumbrance or claim of any party made in respect of or through any Participant, however arising. During the lifetime of a Participant, Stock Options are exercisable only by, and shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of Stock Options and or in settlement of other Awards will be issued only to, and other payments in settlement of any Award will be payable only to, the Participant or his or her legal representative. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, authorize written designations of beneficiaries and authorize Participants to designate beneficiaries with the authority to exercise Stock Options and granted to a Participant in the event of his or her death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion and on and subject to such terms and conditions as it shall deem appropriate, which terms and conditions shall be set forth in the related grant agreement: (i) authorize a Participant to transfer all or a portion of any Award granted to such Participant; provided, that in no event shall any transfer be made to any person or persons other than such Participant’s spouse, children or grandchildren, or a trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more such persons, which transfer must be made as a gift and without any consideration; and (ii) provide for the transferability of a particular grant or Award pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order. All other transfers and any retransfer by any permitted transferee are prohibited


and any such purported transfer shall be null and void. Each Award which becomes the subject of permitted transfer (and the Participant to whom it was granted by the Company) shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were in effect immediately prior to such permitted transfer. The Participant shall remain responsible to the Company for the payment of all withholding taxes including but not limited to those incurred as a result of any grant, vesting or exercise of such Award, as applicable. In no event shall any permitted transfer of an Award create any right in any party in respect of any Award, other than the rights of the qualified transferee in respect of such Award specified in the related grant agreement.

11. CHANGE IN CONTROL.

(a) EFFECT ON GRANTS. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined below) of the Company, except as the Board of Directors comprised of a majority of Continuing Directors may expressly provide otherwise, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary: (i) all Stock Options then outstanding shall become fully exercisable as of the date of the Change in Control, whether or not then exercisable; (ii) all restrictions and conditions in respect of all Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Grants then outstanding shall be deemed satisfied as of the date of the Change in Control; and (iii) all Performance Grants and Awards shall be deemed to have been fully earned, at the maximum amount of the award opportunity specified in the grant agreement, as of the date of the Change in Control.

(b) CHANGE IN CONTROL DEFINED. A “Change in Control” of the Company shall occur when: (i) any Acquiring Person (other than the Company, any Subsidiary, any employee benefit plan of the Company or of any Subsidiary, or any person or entity organized, appointed or established by the Company or a Subsidiary for or pursuant to the terms of any such plans), alone, or together with its Affiliates and Associates, shall become the beneficial owner of fifty percent (50%) or more of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding and provided that the Continuing Directors of the combined companies specifically determine that it is a “change in control” of the Company; or (ii) the shareholders of the Company approve a definitive agreement for a merger or consolidation involving the Company which would result in the Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (whether by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) less than fifty percent of the combined voting power of the Company and such other entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or (iii) the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (iv) the Continuing Directors no longer constitute a majority of the Board of Directors. “Acquiring Person” means any person (any individual, firm, corporation or other entity) who or which, together with all its Affiliates and Associates, shall be the beneficial owner of a substantial block of Common Stock. “Affiliate” and “Associate” shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. “Continuing Director” means any individual who is a member of the Board of Directors, while such individual is a member of the Board of Directors, who is not an Acquiring Person, or an Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person, or a representative or nominee of an Acquiring Person or of any such Affiliate or Associate, and was a member of the Board of Directors prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control, and any successor of a Continuing Director, while such successor is a member of the Board of Directors, who is not an Acquiring Person, or an Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person, or representative or nominee of an Acquiring Person or of any such Affiliate or Associate, and is recommended or elected to succeed the Continuing Director by a majority of the Continuing Directors.

12. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.

The Board of Directors may at any time terminate the Plan, except with respect to grants then outstanding. The Board of Directors may amend the Plan at any time and from time to time in such respects as the Board of Directors may deem necessary or appropriate without approval of the shareholders, unless such approval is necessary in order to comply with applicable laws, including the Exchange Act, NASDAQ or stock exchange rules on which prices for the Common Stock are quoted at any given time, the Code and the analogous applicable laws of any other country or jurisdiction where Awards are granted under the Plan. In no event may the Board of Directors amend the Plan without the approval of the shareholders to (i) increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to the Plan, (ii) increase any limitation set forth in the Plan on the number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued, or the


aggregate value of Awards which may be made, in respect of any type of grant to all Participants during the term of the Plan or to any Participant during any specified period, (iii) reduce the minimum exercise price for Stock Options, or (iv) change the Performance Measure criteria identified at Section 8(c) of the Plan.

13. MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) WITHHOLDING TAXES. All Awards under the Plan will be made subject to any applicable withholding for taxes of any kind. The Company shall have the right to deduct from any amount payable under the Plan, including delivery of shares of Common Stock to be made under the Plan, all federal, state, city, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment and to take such other actions as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes. If shares of Common Stock are used to satisfy withholding taxes, such shares shall be valued based on the Fair Market Value thereof on the date when the withholding for taxes is required to be made. The Company shall have the right to require a Participant to pay cash to satisfy withholding taxes as a condition to the payment of any amount (whether in cash or shares of Common Stock) under the Plan.

(b) NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the making of any grant or Award shall confer upon any Employee any right to continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any Employee at any time, with or without cause.

(c) UNFUNDED PLAN. The Plan shall be unfunded and the Company shall not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by Awards under the Plan. Any liability of the Company to any person with respect to any Award under the Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be effected pursuant to the Plan. No such obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any property of the Company.

(d) PAYMENTS TO TRUST. The Committee is authorized to cause to be established a trust agreement or several trust agreements whereunder the Committee may make payments of amounts due or to become due to Participants in the Plan.

(e) OTHER COMPANY BENEFIT AND COMPENSATION PROGRAMS. Payments and other benefits received by a Participant under an Award made pursuant to the Plan shall not be deemed a part of a Participant’s regular, recurring compensation for purposes of any termination indemnity or severance pay law of any country and shall not be included in, nor have any effect on, the determination of benefits under any pension or other employee benefit plan or similar arrangement provided by the Company or any Subsidiary, unless (i) expressly so provided by such other plan or arrangement or (ii) the Committee expressly determines that an Award or a portion thereof should be included as recurring compensation. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prohibit the Company or any Subsidiary from establishing other special awards, incentive compensation plans, compensation programs and other similar arrangements providing for the payment of performance, incentive or other compensation to Employees. Payments and benefits provided to any Employee under any other plan, including, without limitation, any stock option, stock award, restricted stock, deferred compensation, savings, retirement or other benefit plan or arrangement, shall be governed solely by the terms of such other plan.

(f) SECURITIES LAW RESTRICTIONS. In no event shall the Company be obligated to issue or deliver any shares of Common Stock if such issuance or delivery shall constitute a violation of any provisions of any law or regulation of any governmental authority or securities exchange. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued under the Plan unless counsel for the Company shall be satisfied that such issuance will be in compliance with all applicable Federal and state securities laws and regulations and all requirements of any securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed.

(g) GRANT AGREEMENTS. Each Participant receiving a grant under the Plan shall enter into a grant agreement with the Company in a form specified by the Committee agreeing to the terms and conditions of the grant and such related matters as the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine.


(h) SEVERABILITY. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan.

(i) TRANSITION—1990 PLAN. The Plan replaces and supersedes the 1990 Incentive and Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan (the “1990 Plan”) and the 1990 Plan shall automatically terminate when the Plan becomes effective, except that such termination shall not affect any grants or awards then outstanding under the 1990 Plan.

(j) GOVERNING LAW. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

WHEREAS, Tech Data Corporation (the “Company”) maintains the Amended and Restated 2000 Equity Incentive Plan of Tech Data Corporation (the “Plan”), as amended and restated through March 29, 2006, for the purpose of attracting, retaining and rewarding highly qualified officers, other employees and outside directors, to motivate officers, outside directors and other selected employees to achieve business objectives established to promote the long-term growth, profitability and success of the Company and to encourage ownership of the Common Stock of the Company by participating officers, outside directors and other selected employees allowing such employees to participate in the long-term growth of the Company;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), through its Compensation Committee, is responsible for the administration of the Plan;

WHEREAS, it is desired that the Plan be amended to increase the number of shares available for issuance under Section 4(a) of the Plan by 3,000,000 shares: from 6,500,000 shares to 9,500,000 shares to provide incentives to eligible employees, outside directors, and officers of the Company;

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that as a result of the increase of the number of shares available under the Plan, it is necessary to adjust the limits set forth in the Plan for the different types of awards such that: (i) Section 7(c) be adjusted so the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued as Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units under the Plan shall be 800,000 shares; and (ii) Section 8(b) be adjusted so the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to Performance Grants shall be 800,000 shares;

WHEREAS, the Board requested and obtained the approval of the shareholders at the June 6, 2006, Annual Meeting of Shareholders to increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to the Plan before modifying the Plan; and

WHEREAS, the Board requested and obtained the approval of the shareholders at the June 6, 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to increase any limitation set forth in the Plan on the number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued, or the aggregate value of Awards which may be made, in respect of any type of grant to all Participants during the term of the Plan or to any Participant during any specified period.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, in accordance with the foregoing, the Plan is amended as follows:

1. Section 4(a) of the Plan shall be amended to read as follows:

(a) MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES AVAILABLE FOR ISSUANCE UNDER THE PLAN. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to the Plan, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(b) of the Plan, shall be nine million five hundred thousand shares (9,500,000), plus (i) any shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan that are forfeited back to the Company or are canceled, and (ii) any shares of Common Stock that are tendered, whether by physical delivery or by attestation, to the Company by a Participant as full or partial payment of the exercise price of any Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan, in connection with the payment or settlement of any other grant or Award made pursuant to the Plan, or in payment of any applicable withholding for federal, state, city, local or foreign income, payroll or other taxes incurred in connection with the exercise of any Stock Option granted under the Plan or the receipt or settlement of any other grant or Award under the Plan. The shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan may be authorized and unissued shares or issued shares which have been reacquired by the Company. No fractional share of the Common Stock shall be issued under the Plan. Awards of fractional shares of the Common Stock, if any, shall be settled in cash.


2. Section 7(c) of the Plan shall be amended to read as follows:

(c) ELIGIBILITY AND LIMITATIONS. Any officer of the Company and any other key Employee of the Company or a Subsidiary selected by the Committee may receive a Restricted Stock Grant or a Restricted Stock Unit Grant. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether a Restricted Stock Grant and/or Restricted Stock Unit Grant shall be made, the Employee to receive such grant, and the conditions and restrictions imposed on such grant. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued as Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units under the Plan shall be eight hundred thousand shares (800,000). The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued to any Employee as Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units combined during any fiscal year shall not exceed fifty thousand shares (50,000). The maximum amount any Employee may receive as a Restricted Stock Grant and/or Restricted Stock Unit Grant in any fiscal year shall not exceed two and one-half million dollars ($2,500,000), determined using the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock underlying such Restricted Stock Grant and/or Restricted Stock Unit Grant as at the date of the grant thereof.

3. Section 8(b) of the Plan shall be amended to read as follows:

(b) LIMITATIONS ON GRANTS AND AWARDS. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to Performance Grants shall be eight hundred thousand shares (800,000). The maximum number of shares which may be the subject of Performance Grants made to any Participant in respect of any Performance Period or during any fiscal year shall be fifty-thousand shares (50,000). The maximum amount any Participant may receive during any fiscal year as Performance Awards pursuant to Performance Grants shall not exceed two and one-half million dollars ($2,500,000), determined using the Fair Market Value of such Performance Awards as of the last day of the applicable Performance Period or Periods or as of date or dates of the payment thereof, whichever is higher.
