Item 2.05 Costs Associated With Exit or Disposal Activities.

On April 11, 2005, Ingram Micro Inc. (the “Company”) announced that as part of an outsourcing and optimization plan it will move transaction-oriented services and support functions to a global business process outsource provider. This includes selected North America positions in finance and shared services, customer service, vendor management and certain U.S. positions in technical support and inside sales (excluding field sales and management positions). The Company will also restructure and consolidate other job functions within the North American region. It is expected that approximately 550 associates will be affected by these actions. These actions are anticipated to be substantially completed by the end of 2005.

The total costs of the actions are estimated at approximately $26 million, of which approximately $5.5 million were incurred in the first quarter of 2005 with the remainder to be recorded through the fourth quarter of 2005. The total costs are estimated to consist substantially of cash expenditures primarily for severance and employment termination expenses, consulting, retention, relocation and other transition expenses, of which approximately $9 million is estimated to be associated with severance and employment termination expenses. Although we believe our estimates are appropriate and reasonable based upon available information, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Additional information about the Company’s outsourcing and optimization plan may be obtained by reference to the Form 8-K filed on April 11, 2005 (the “April 11th Form 8-K). As this Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements, the “Cautionary Statement for the Purpose of the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995” from the April 11th Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference.
