Item 8.01. Other Events

On July 16, 2010, SYNNEX Corporation (“SYNNEX”) announced that it has signed a definitive sale agreement (the “Agreement”) to sell certain assets related to its contract assembly business to MiTAC International Corporation (“MiTAC”). The transaction includes the sale of inventory and customer contracts, primarily related to customers currently being jointly served by SYNNEX and MiTAC. The Agreement includes earn-out and profit-sharing provisions, which are based on near-term operating performance metrics for the defined customers included in this transaction. SYNNEX has worked closely with MiTAC on jointly marketing MiTAC’s design and electronic manufacturing services and SYNNEX’ contract assembly capabilities. This relationship enabled SYNNEX to build relationships with MiTAC’s customers. The customers tied to the Agreement began through this partnership with MiTAC. Also, as part of the planned transaction, SYNNEX will provide MiTAC certain transition services for the business on a fee basis over the next several quarters.

As of November 30, 2009, MiTAC and its affiliates beneficially owned approximately 30% of our common stock. In addition, Matthew Miau, the Chairman Emeritus of SYNNEX’ Board of Directors, is also the Chairman of MiTAC and a director or officer of MiTAC’s affiliates.

On July 16, 2010, SYNNEX issued a press release regarding the transaction and the full text is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
