Item 5.03   Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
(a)   Amendment of Bylaws.
The Board of Directors of Ingram Micro Inc. (“Ingram Micro”) approved an amendment to the Bylaws of Ingram Micro effective March 31, 2011 to change the voting standard for the election of directors in uncontested elections from a plurality to a majority voting standard, subject to the rights of any series or class of stock to elect directors under specified circumstances, as set forth in Ingram Micro’s Articles of Incorporation. Under Ingram Micro’s majority voting policy, in an uncontested election, each nominee shall be elected to the Board of Directors by the majority of the votes cast with respect to the director’s election (that is, the number of votes “for” a director’s election must exceed 50% of the votes cast with respect to that director’s election). Directors will continue to be elected by plurality vote in contested elections (that is, when the number of nominees for election exceeds the number of directors to be elected).
     If a nominee who is serving as a director is not elected at the annual meeting, Delaware law provides that the director would continue to serve on the Board as a “holdover director.” However, under Ingram Micro’s Bylaws, if the director fails to be elected by the majority of the votes cast in an election that is not a contested election, the director shall immediately tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors. In that situation, the Governance Committee will act on an expedited basis to determine whether to accept the director’s resignation, and submit its recommendation to the Board. The Board will act on the Governance Committee’s recommendation and publicly disclose its decision within 90 days following certification of the shareholder vote. The Governance Committee in making its recommendation, and the Board in making its decision, may each consider any factors or other information that it considers appropriate and relevant. The Board expects that any director whose resignation becomes effective pursuant to this policy will excuse himself or herself from participating in the consideration of his or her resignation by either the Governance Committee or the Board of Directors. If an incumbent director’s resignation is not accepted, he or she will continue to serve until the next annual meeting and until his or her successor is duly elected, or until his or her earlier resignation or removal.
