Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On November 11, 2010, SYNNEX Investment Holdings Corporation (the “Subsidiary”), a BVI corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of SYNNEX Corporation (“SYNNEX”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with SB Pacific Corporation Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“SB Pacific”) and Marubeni Corporation, a Japanese corporation (“Marubeni”), pursuant to which the Subsidiary and SB Pacific will acquire all of the capital stock of Marubeni Infotec Corporation, a Japanese corporation (“Marubeni Infotec”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of Marubeni. SYNNEX holds a 33.3% non-controlling interest in SB Pacific. The aggregate consideration for the transaction is JP¥700,000,000, or approximately US$8,500,000, subject to certain adjustments based on Marubeni Infotec’s balance sheet at closing, and the assumption of certain liabilities totaling JP¥10,342,000,000, or approximately US$125,800,000. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Subsidiary will acquire 80% of Marubeni Infotec. Bob Huang, SYNNEX’ founder and former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman will initially serve as CEO of Marubeni Infotec.

The Stock Purchase Agreement includes certain covenants, representations and warranties which are customary in transactions of this type, including certain indemnification obligations of the parties with respect to breaches of covenants, representations and warranties, subject to certain baskets, maximum liability and time limitations. In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, Marubeni will enter into a Non-Competition Agreement with the Subsidiary and SB Pacific that will be effective for a period of two years from the Closing Date.

The foregoing description of the Stock Purchase Agreement is a summary and accordingly is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Stock Purchase Agreement when filed. SYNNEX intends to file the Stock Purchase Agreement as an exhibit to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2010.

On November 11, 2010, SYNNEX issued a press release announcing the Stock Purchase Agreement. A copy of SYNNEX’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
