Item 8.01 Other Events.

On July 29, 2021, SYNNEX Corporation ("SYNNEX" or the "Company") priced an offering of (i) $700,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 1.250% Senior Notes due 2024, (ii) $700,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 1.750% Senior Notes due 2026, (iii) $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.375% Senior Notes due 2028, and (iv) $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.650% Senior Notes due 2031 (collectively, the "Notes," and such offering, the "Notes Offering"). The Notes are being sold in a private placement to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and to certain persons outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes Offering is expected to close on or about August 9, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Notes Offering is part of the financing for the previously announced proposed acquisition of Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Tiger Parent"), the indirect parent entity of Tech Data Corporation, a Florida corporation ("Tech Data"), pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 22, 2021 (the "Merger Agreement"), between SYNNEX, Spire Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of SYNNEX, Spire Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of SYNNEX and Tiger Parent (the "Merger"). The Notes Offering will replace $2.5 billion of bridge commitments provided under the previously announced debt commitment letter entered into by SYNNEX in connection with the Merger. SYNNEX intends to utilize its previously announced new $1.5 billion term loan facility, together with the net proceeds from the Notes Offering and cash on hand at SYNNEX and Tech Data, including the $500 million equity contribution to be made prior to the Merger by an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, Inc. that is the sole stockholder of Tiger Parent, to fund the aggregate cash portion of the consideration payable to Tiger Parent in connection with the Merger, refinance certain of SYNNEX' and Tech Data's existing indebtedness, and pay related fees and expenses. SYNNEX expects to use any remaining net proceeds from the Notes Offering for general corporate purposes. The Notes Offering is not conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger. However, if (i) the closing of the Merger has not occurred on or prior to December 22, 2021 (provided that, if the termination date of the Merger Agreement is extended, this date will also be extended to the same extended termination date, but in no case will this date be extended beyond June 22, 2022), (ii) SYNNEX notifies the trustee under the indenture governing the Notes in writing that SYNNEX will not pursue the consummation of the Merger or (iii) the Merger Agreement has been terminated without the consummation of the Merger, SYNNEX will be required to redeem all of the outstanding Notes at a special mandatory redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest from, and including, the date of initial issuance (or the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid, whichever is later) to, but excluding, the special mandatory redemption date.

This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements.
