Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On March 24, 2009, Mr. Jim Estill, President and Chief Executive Officer of SYNNEX Canada Limited (“SYNNEX Canada”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, submitted his resignation to be effective May 29, 2009. In connection with his resignation, the Compensation Committee of the Registrant’s Board of Directors approved a separation agreement to be entered into by and between Mr. Estill and SYNNEX Canada. Under the terms of the separation agreement, Mr. Estill will receive CDN$550,000 to be paid bi-weekly over a period of one year, less any deductions required by law. Mr. Estill will also receive CDN$142,500 to be paid in two equal installments on May 29, 2010 and 2011 under the Registrant’s 2009 Profit Sharing Plan, less any deductions required by law. This amount represents 50% of Mr. Estill’s target bonus under the 2009 Profit Sharing Plan. Based on the foreign currency exchange rate of the Canadian Dollar to the U.S. Dollar on March 24, 2009 of $1.2344, the aggregate cash payments of CDN$692,500 equaled US$561,001. In addition, Mr. Estill will have 24 months to exercise any shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock vested under his outstanding options as of May 29, 2009.

Pursuant to the separation agreement, Mr. Estill is prohibited from soliciting clients and employees of SYNNEX Canada for a period of 24 months following May 29, 2009. Mr. Estill also agreed not to directly or indirectly engage in business with certain specified companies that compete directly or indirectly with SYNNEX Canada for a period of 24 months following May 29, 2009; provided, however, this prohibition only applies within Canada.
