PROXY STATEMENT
2006 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
APRIL 4, 2006
This proxy statement is being furnished to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies
by the Board of Directors of Insight Enterprises, Inc. Your vote is very important. For this
reason, the Board of Directors is requesting that you allow your common stock to be represented at
the annual meeting by the persons named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card. This proxy
statement is being sent to you in connection with this request and has been prepared for the Board
by our management. The terms we, our Insight and Company refer to Insight Enterprises,
Inc. and its subsidiaries. This proxy statement is first being sent to our stockholders on or
about February 27, 2006.
GENERAL INFORMATION
|
|
|
Who can vote?
|
|
You are entitled to vote your common stock if our records showed that you
held your shares as of February 10, 2006, the record date for our
meeting. At the close of business on that date, 48,013,356 shares of
common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of common
stock has one vote. The enclosed proxy card shows the number of shares
that you are entitled to vote. Your individual vote is confidential and
will not be disclosed to third parties. |
|
|
|
How do I vote?
|
|
If your common stock is held by a broker, bank or other nominee (i.e., in
street name), you will receive instructions from it that you must follow
in order to have your shares voted. If you hold your shares in your own
name (i.e., as a holder of record), you may vote your shares by mail, by
telephone or over the Internet. To vote by mail you may instruct the
persons named as proxies how to vote your common stock by signing, dating
and mailing the proxy card in the envelope provided. You may vote by
telephone or Internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until 12:00 p.m. (CT)
on April 3, 2006. The enclosed proxy card contains instructions for
telephone and Internet voting. Of course, you can always come to the
meeting and vote your shares in person. |
|
|
|
How may I revoke my proxy instructions?
|
|
You may revoke your proxy instructions by any of the following procedures: |
|
|
1. Send us another signed proxy with a later date; |
|
|
|
|
|
2. Send a letter to our Corporate Secretary revoking your proxy
before your common stock has been voted by the persons named as proxies
at the meeting; or |
|
|
|
|
|
3. Attend the annual meeting and vote your shares in person. |
1
|
|
|
How are votes
counted?
|
|
The annual meeting will be held if a majority of our outstanding shares
entitled to vote is represented at the meeting. If you have returned
valid proxy instructions or attend the meeting in person, your shares
will be counted for the purpose of determining whether there is a quorum,
even if you wish to abstain from voting on some or all matters introduced
at the meeting. |
|
|
|
|
|
If you give us a proxy without giving specific voting instructions, your
shares will be voted by the persons named as proxies as recommended by
the Board of Directors. We are not aware of any other matters to be
presented at the annual meeting except for those described in this proxy
statement. However, if any other matters not described in this proxy
statement are properly presented at the meeting, the persons named as
proxies will use their own judgment to determine how to vote your
shares. If the meeting is adjourned, your shares may be voted by the persons
named as proxies on the new meeting date as well, unless you have revoked
your proxy instructions prior to that time. |
|
|
|
|
|
A broker non-vote occurs when a broker or other nominee holding shares
for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the
broker or other nominee does not have discretionary voting power with
respect to that item and has not received instructions from the
beneficial owner. Broker non-votes are counted as present or represented
for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the
annual meeting, if such shares are otherwise properly represented at the
meeting in person or by proxy, but are not counted for purposes of
determining the number of shares entitled to vote on any proposal in
respect of which the broker or other nominee lacks discretionary
authority. |
|
|
|
May I attend the
annual meeting?
|
|
If you are a holder of record, you may attend the annual meeting. If you
plan to attend the annual meeting, please indicate this when you vote.
If you are a beneficial owner of common stock held by a broker or bank,
you will need proof of ownership to be admitted to the meeting. A recent
brokerage statement or letter from a broker or bank showing your current
ownership and ownership of our shares on the record date are examples of
proof of ownership. If you want to vote in person shares you hold in
street name, you will have to get a proxy in your name from the
registered holder. |
|
|
|
What vote is
required?
|
|
The three nominees for director who receive the most votes will be
elected. Therefore, if you do not vote for a nominee or you elect to
withhold authority to vote for any nominee on your proxy card, your vote
will not count for or against any nominee.
The proposal to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP (KPMG) as our
independent registered public accounting firm will be adopted upon the
affirmative vote of the majority of shares voting on the proposal. |
|
|
|
Who pays the cost
of this proxy
solicitation?
|
|
We will pay the cost of this proxy solicitation. We will, upon request,
reimburse brokers, banks and other nominees for their expenses in sending
proxy material to their principals and obtaining their proxies. We will
solicit proxies by mail, except for any incidental personal solicitation
made by our directors, officers and employees, for which they will not be
paid. |
2
|
|
|
Who should I call
if I have
questions?
|
|
If you have questions about the
annual meeting or voting, please
call our Corporate Secretary,
Stanley Laybourne, at (480)
350-1142. |
PROPOSAL NO. 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
There are three nominees for election to our Board this year. Timothy A. Crown and Stanley
Laybourne are Class III directors and have served on our Board since 1994. Kathleen S. Pushor was
appointed as a Class III director on September 23, 2005. The Board has nominated Messrs. Crown and
Laybourne for re-election and Ms. Pushor for election as directors. Unless otherwise instructed,
the proxy holders will vote for the election of Messrs. Crown and Laybourne and Ms. Pushor. Each
of the nominees has agreed to be named in this proxy statement and to serve if elected.
We know of no reason why any of the nominees would not be able to serve. However, if any
nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director, or if a vacancy occurs before election (which
events are not anticipated), the proxy holders will vote for the election of such other person or
persons as are nominated by the Board.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
We sponsor the Insight Bowl, a post-season intercollegiate football game that is played
annually in Arizona. We have a multi-year sponsorship agreement with the Valley of the Sun Bowl
Foundation d/b/a Insight Bowl, the not-for-profit entity that conducts the Insight Bowl game and
related activities. During 2005, we paid the Valley of the Sun Bowl Foundation and related
entities approximately $1,152,000 for sponsorship arrangements, ticket purchases and miscellaneous
expenses. Stanley Laybourne, a member of our Board and our Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and
Treasurer, serves as the Chief Financial Officer of these organizations and receives nominal
compensation from the organizations for that service. We believe we obtain important local and
national public relations benefits from our sponsorship and participation in these events, and we
use the Insight Bowl game and related events to entertain customers, suppliers and employees. We
also believe the terms of the sponsorship agreement are as advantageous to us as we would obtain in
an arms length transaction. Finally, the terms of the transactions between us and these
organizations were negotiated by senior executive management other than Mr. Laybourne and the final
agreement was approved by our Board with Mr. Laybourne abstaining from the vote.
6
MEETINGS OF THE BOARD AND ITS COMMITTEES
The Board of Directors held a total of eight meetings during the year ended December 31, 2005.
None of our directors attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of Board and Committee meetings.
The Board currently does not have a policy with regard to director attendance at the Companys
annual meeting of stockholders. However, six of the seven then active Board members attended the
annual meeting of stockholders in April 2005. The Board has an Executive Committee, an Audit
Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Governance Committee, and all of these are
standing committees.
The Board has determined that the following directors meet the independence requirement of the
Marketplace Rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD): Larry A.
Gunning; Robertson C. Jones; Michael M. Fisher; Bennett Dorrance; and Kathleen S. Pushor. The
independent directors hold executive sessions without management present on a quarterly basis and
more often as they determine appropriate.
During 2005, the Executive Committee consisted of Eric J. Crown, Timothy A. Crown and Stanley
Laybourne. In February 2006, the Board changed the number of members from three to four and
appointed Michael M. Fisher, Timothy A. Crown, Richard A. Fennessy and Stanley Laybourne as the
members of the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee is empowered to act on board matters
that arise between meetings of the full Board or matters that require immediate attention when a
quorum of our Board can not be convened. The Executive Committee did not meet in 2005.
The Audit Committee consists of Michael M. Fisher, Chairman, Robertson C. Jones and Kathleen
S. Pushor and met nine times in 2005. Larry A. Gunning was a member of the Audit Committee through
September 2005, and Ms. Pushor joined the Audit Committee with her appointment to the Board of
Directors in September 2005. The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its
responsibilities for generally overseeing our financial reporting processes and the audit of
Insights financial statements, including the integrity of the financial statements and the systems
of internal control established by management, our compliance with legal and regulatory
requirements, the qualifications and independence of the independent registered public accounting
firm, the performance of our internal audit function and the independent registered public
accounting firm, risk assessment and risk management, and finance and investment functions. The
Audit Committee has the authority to obtain advice and assistance from, and receive appropriate
funding from us for, outside legal, accounting or other advisors as the Audit Committee deems
necessary to carry out its duties. The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a written charter,
reviewed annually, adopted by the Committee and approved by the Board. The charter may be viewed
online on our website at www.insight.com by clicking on the Highlights tab under Corporate
Governance in our Investor Relations section, which can be accessed in the drop down menu under
About Insight on our welcome page.
The Board has determined that the composition of the Audit Committee, the attributes of its
members and the responsibilities of the Audit Committee, as reflected in its charter, are in
accordance with applicable Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and NASD Marketplace
Rules for audit committees. In particular, all Audit Committee members possess the required level
of financial literacy, at least one member of the Audit Committee meets the current standard of
requisite financial management expertise and our Board has determined that Michael M. Fisher, the
chairman of the Audit Committee, is an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 401(h)
of Regulation S-K of the SEC. Each member of the Audit Committee is an independent director as
defined in NASD Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15). Our policy is to discourage related party
transactions and prior approval of the Audit Committee is necessary for an officer or director to
enter into a related party transaction.
7
The Compensation Committee, consisting of Messrs. Gunning, Chairman, Jones, Fisher and
Dorrance, met eight times in 2005. The Compensation Committee operates pursuant to a written
charter which may be viewed online on our website at www.insight.com by clicking on the
Highlights tab under Corporate Governance in our Investor Relations section, which can be
accessed in the drop down menu under About Insight on our welcome page. The Compensation
Committee administers compensation and benefit programs designed for directors and officers
required to report under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act), and certain other of our senior officers. The Committee, however, has delegated
some compensation decisions regarding Senior Vice Presidents to our Chief Executive Officer and to
our Chief Financial Officer. The Committee also administers our equity compensation plans to
ensure that we have the ability to attract and retain highly qualified managers through competitive
salary and benefit programs and to encourage extraordinary effort through incentive rewards. Each
member of the Compensation Committee is an independent director as defined in NASD Marketplace
Rule 4200(a)(15) and an outside director as defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue
Code.
The Nominating and Governance Committee, consisting of Messrs. Jones, Chairman, Gunning,
Fisher and Dorrance and Ms. Pushor, met five times during 2005. The Nominating and Governance
Committee, which recommends candidates to be nominated for election as directors at our annual
meeting, regularly assesses the appropriate size of the Board and regularly reviews corporate
governance principles and related policies for approval by the Board, operates pursuant to a
written charter which may be viewed online on our website at www.insight.com by clicking on the
Highlights tab under Corporate Governance in our Investor Relations section, which can be
accessed in the drop down menu under About Insight on our welcome page. Each member of the
Nominating and Governance Committee is an independent director as defined in NASD Marketplace
Rule 4200(a)(15).
The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for identifying, recruiting and
evaluating candidates for the Board when appropriate and making recommendations to the Board
regarding the membership of the committees of the Board. In evaluating Board candidates, the
Nominating and Governance Committee does not have fixed requirements but will, instead, consider
the breadth of business experiences and skills, prominence and reputation in their professions,
their global business perspectives, concern for the long-term interests of the stockholders and
personal ethics, integrity and judgment. The Nominating and Governance Committee from time to time
engages the service of a professional search firm to identify and to evaluate potential nominees.
Two of the nominees for directors being voted upon at the annual meeting, Timothy A. Crown and
Stanley Laybourne, are directors standing for re-election. The third nominee, Kathleen S. Pushor,
is an incumbent director (having been appointed to the Board of Directors after the last annual
meeting) but is standing for election for the first time. Ms. Pushor was originally identified to
the Nominating and Governance Committee by the Chairman of the Board and was evaluated, by a search
firm and by the Nominating and Governance Committee, as part of a formal search process. We have
never received a recommendation for a director nominee from a stockholder who is not also a Board
member or an employee. Our policy, however, would require that the Nominating and Governance
Committee evaluate nominees recommended by stockholders in the same manner described above.
Stockholders may propose director candidates for consideration by sending the name of any
recommended candidate, together with pertinent biographical information, a document indicating the
candidates willingness to serve if elected, and evidence of the nominating stockholders ownership
of our common stock to our Corporate Secretary at 1305 West Auto Drive, Tempe, Arizona 85284 in
accordance with the provisions set forth under the heading Stockholder Proposals in this proxy
statement.

Stockholders wishing to communicate with the Board or with a Board member should address
communications to the Board or the particular Board member, c/o Corporate Secretary, Insight
Enterprises, Inc., 1305 West Auto Drive, Tempe, Arizona 85284. The Corporate Secretary will
forward all such communication to the individual Board member or the Board, as appropriate.
Compensation of Directors
Employee directors do not receive any separate compensation for their Board activities. Each
non-employee director receives $15,000 per quarter for serving on the Board, an additional $2,500
per quarter for each Board Committee on which he or she serves and reimbursement for reasonable
expenses incurred in connection with service as a director. An additional $1,250 per quarter will
be paid to the director serving as Chairman of the Audit Committee. In addition, outside directors
will receive 2,000 restricted stock units (RSUs) upon joining the Board and 1,000 RSUs annually.
RSUs granted to outside directors vest over three years, subject to continued Board service. The
Compensation Committee has approved, for 2006, a $250,000 retainer for Mr. Timothy A. Crown,
Chairman of the Board, in lieu of standard compensation for directors and based primarily on his
consultative relationship with our Chief Executive Officer, Richard A. Fennessy, and his time
commitments to the Company as Chairman of the Board. This is a reduction from the $500,000
retainer for Mr. Crown in 2005.
CODE OF ETHICS
We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to directors and all employees, including our
Chief Executive Officer and our senior financial executives. The Code of Ethics is posted on our
website, www.insight.com, and may be found in our Investor Relations section, which can be
accessed in the drop down menu under About Insight on our welcome page. We intend to satisfy the
disclosure requirement under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K regarding any amendments to, or waivers from, a
provision of our Code of Ethics by posting such information on our website at the location
specified above.

Represents options granted by us to purchase shares of our common stock. For all
options granted, one-third of the options become exercisable on each of the first three
anniversaries of the grant date. |
|
(2) |
|
Amounts represent hypothetical gains that could be achieved over the full option term
(5 years). The potential realizable value is calculated by assuming that the market price of
the underlying security appreciates in value from the date of grant to the end of the term of
the option at the specified annual rates and that the option is exercised at the exercise
price and sold on the last day of its term at the appreciated price. These gains are based on
assumed rates of stock appreciation of 5% and 10% compounded annually from the date the
options were granted to their expiration date and are not presented to forecast possible
future appreciation, if any, in the price of the common stock. |

Does not include securities underlying exercisable options at year-end issued by Direct
Alliance Corporation (Direct Alliance) held by named executive officers in the following
amounts: 300,000 held by Stanley Laybourne and 30,000 held by Dino D. Farfante. |
|
(2) |
|
Value as of December 31, 2005 is based upon the closing price on that date as reported on
the Nasdaq National Market minus the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares
underlying the option. |
In addition, our subsidiary, Direct Alliance issued options in 2000 to our named
executive officers in the amounts described in footnote (1) above. The Direct Alliance Plan, which
is currently administered by Direct Alliances Board of Directors, includes provisions for granting
of incentive awards in the form of stock options to Direct Alliances employees and directors as
well as to officers and employees of its parent and corporate affiliates. The stock options
granted in 2000 are fully vested and expire on May 5, 2006. The exercise price for these options
is the fair market value at the date of grant, as determined by an appraisal. We have not
conducted subsequent appraisals for this purpose through December 31, 2005, and we are not required
to do so. Accordingly, the current value of these unexercisable options at December 31, 2005 is
indeterminate, and no value in respect of these options is included in the table above. Under
these options, our named executive officers have the right to acquire the following percentages,
determined on a fully-diluted basis, of the total outstanding common stock of Direct Alliance:
Stanley Laybourne, 0.9%; and Dino Farfante, 0.1%. Unexercised options granted to certain
individuals, do not terminate after an individual ceases to be an employee, which is the reason
that Mr. Farfante retained his options.

approval of the 1999 Broad Based Employee Stock Option Plan, and, accordingly, it was not
approved by our stockholders. |

Includes options issued by Direct Alliance under the Direct Alliance Corporation 2000 Long
Term Incentive Plan. |

Includes restricted shares available for grant under the 1998 Employee Restricted Stock Plan
and the 1998 Officer Restricted Stock Plan. |
In October 1997, the stockholders approved the 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 1998
LTIP) for officers, employees, directors and consultants or independent contractors. The 1998
LTIP authorizes grants of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation
rights, performance shares, restricted common stock and performance-based awards. In 2000, the
stockholders approved an amendment to the 1998 LTIP increasing the number of shares eligible for
awards to 6,000,000 and allowing our Board of Directors to reserve (which they have done)
additional shares such that the number of shares of common stock remaining for grant under the 1998
LTIP and any of our other option plans, plus the number of shares of common stock granted but not
yet exercised under the 1998 LTIP and any of our other option plans, shall not exceed 20% of the
outstanding shares of our common stock at the time of calculation of the additional shares. This
plan has no set expiration date, but the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules will require us to obtain new
stockholder approval by 2010 if we desire to continue making awards under this plan after 2010. As
of December 31, 2005, there were 2,294,915 total shares of common stock available to grant for
awards under the 1998 LTIP and the 1999 Broad Based Employee Stock Option Plan.
In September 1998, we established the 1998 Employee Restricted Stock Plan (the 1998 Employee
RSP) for our employees. The total number of shares of restricted common stock initially available
for grant under the 1998 Employee RSP was 562,500 and as of December 31, 2005, 434,417 shares of
14
restricted common stock were available for grant. There were no grants of restricted common stock
under this plan during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003.
In December 1998, we established the 1998 Officer Restricted Stock Plan (the 1998 Officer
RSP) for our officers. The total number of restricted common stock shares initially available for
grant under the 1998 Officer RSP was 56,250 and as of December 31, 2005, 490 shares of restricted
common stock were available for grant. There were no grants of restricted common stock under this
plan during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003.
In September 1999, we established the 1999 Broad Based Employee Stock Option Plan (the 1999
Broad Based Plan) for our employees. The total number of stock options initially available for
grant under the 1999 Broad Based Plan is 1,500,000; provided, however, that no more than 20% of the
shares of stock available under the 1999 Broad Based Plan may be awarded to the Officers. Stock
options available for grant under the 1999 Broad Based Plan are included in the total shares of
common stock available to grant for awards under the 1998 LTIP or 1999 Broad Based Plan discussed
above.
The 1998 LTIP, 1998 Employee RSP, 1998 Officer RSP and 1999 Broad Based Plan (the Plans) are
administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Except as provided below,
the Compensation Committee has the exclusive authority to administer the Plans, including the power
to determine eligibility, the types of awards to be granted, the price and the timing of awards.
The Compensation Committee has, however, delegated to our Chief Executive Officer the authority to
grant awards to individuals other than individuals who are subject to the reporting requirements of
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.
In May 2000, we established the Direct Alliance Corporation 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the
Direct Alliance Plan). The total number of stock options initially available for grant under
this plan, representing 15% of the outstanding shares of the Direct Alliance common stock, was
4,500,000. As of December 31, 2005, the number of stock options available for grant under the
Direct Alliance Plan is 2,457,500. There were no grants of stock options under this plan during
the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003.
Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment and Change-of-Control Arrangements
We have entered into employment agreements with each of our named executive officers, except
Carmela Orlando. It has been our policy that the Compensation Committee must make compensation
decisions for all of our directors and officers who are subject to the reporting requirements of
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and certain other senior officers. The Board approved all of
the employment agreements with our named executive officers based upon the recommendation of the
Compensation Committee.
The employment agreements for Richard A. Fennessy, Stanley Laybourne, Stuart Fenton and Mark
T. McGrath provide for continually renewing terms of two years and establish base salaries and a
mechanism for setting annual incentive bonuses. The Compensation Committee will typically evaluate
and set bonus levels for each subsequent year in the second half of the preceding year (for
example, the Compensation Committee will typically set a bonus level for 2007 in the second half
of 2006). The employment agreements in 2005 provided for annual, rather than quarterly, bonuses
and established quarterly advances against such annual bonuses based on Company performance during
each of the first three quarters. Additionally, the agreements allowed us, under specified
conditions, to take back bonus advances if we did not achieve a set minimum of diluted earnings
per share for the entire fiscal year.
15
The Compensation Committee approved, on December 14, 2005, two equity-based incentive
compensation programs and one cash-based incentive compensation program for 2006 in which the
named executive officers will participate. Under the first equity-based incentive compensation
program, Messrs. Fennessy, Laybourne, Fenton and McGrath and Ms. Orlando received, in January
2006, varying levels of grants of service-based restricted stock units (RSUs) which will vest
ratably over three years. Pursuant to the second equity-based incentive compensation program, a
grant of performance-based RSUs to Messrs. Fennessy, Laybourne, Fenton and McGrath and Ms. Orlando
were also made in January 2006, and the number of actual RSUs ultimately awarded will be
determined based on achievement of consolidated non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) of the
Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 against target consolidated non-GAAP EPS,
with payout varying with position and consolidated non-GAAP EPS results below and above target
levels (awards are discretionary over or below specified levels). Once the number of
performance-based RSUs has been determined in early 2007, the RSUs will convert to service-based
and one-third will vest immediately with the remainder vesting ratably over the following two
years. All grants of RSUs were made under the 1998 LTIP Plan. Under the cash-based incentive
compensation plan, Messrs. Fennessy, Laybourne, Fenton and McGrath and Ms. Orlando, will earn cash
incentive compensation based on achievement of financial objectives against targeted amounts for
their respective business units, with payout varying with financial performance levels below and
above target levels (awards are discretionary over or below specified levels). The target cash
incentive amount is based on achievement of non-GAAP quarterly operating margin percentage, paid
quarterly, and on achievement of annual revenue growth, paid annually. Additionally, for Richard
A. Fennessy only, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors will evaluate Mr.
Fennessys performance for the entire year and, in their discretion, can adjust his actual cash
incentive compensation plus or minus fifteen percent.
The material terms of the employment agreements are as follows:
Richard A. Fennessy.
|

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Compensation Committee, which met eight times during 2005, makes compensation decisions
with respect to directors and officers subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of
the Exchange Act and certain other of our senior officers. The Committee is composed exclusively
of non-employee, independent directors.
The Committee is charged with:
|
|
|
reviewing and approving the annual salary, bonus, equity awards and other
benefits including perquisites and personal benefits, to be paid or awarded to
directors and officers subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the
Exchange Act and certain of our other senior officers (except as delegated, within
prescribed limits, to our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial
Officer); and |
|
|
|
|
reviewing and recommending to the Board of Directors new equity
compensation plans and changes to existing plans. |
The Committee utilizes internal resources in the Company to help it carry out its
responsibilities and has, from time to time, engaged independent consultants to assist it in
fulfilling its responsibilities. In 2005, the Compensation Committee retained Towers Perrin to
conduct a competitive analysis of the compensation for the most senior executives of the Company.
This benchmarking exercise was the first comprehensive review since the study conducted by Aon
Consulting for the Committee in 2003. The Towers Perrin analysis measured the Companys
compensation goals and actual results against information for two groups of companies (the
comparison groups). The first comparison group included product and service competitors and
suppliers and other enterprises which may compete with the Company for executive talent. The
second comparison group included larger technology companies, and Towers Perrin size-adjusted that
data set to reflect the level and scope of the executive positions at the Company. As neither
group was limited to companies which are just competitors or to those which
19
are close comparisons in terms of sales and market capitalization, the Company does not
consider these groups to be peer groups for other purposes. Towers Perrin generally concluded
that, across cash components of pay, the Company is competitive but that total direct compensation
is below the median when compared to the comparison groups, especially with respect to long-term
incentives. The Towers Perrin report was delivered to the Committee in November 2005, and,
accordingly, the Committee used the report, in addition to other relevant sources of information,
in setting compensation for executives for 2006, but it was not an important source of information
for compensation decisions for 2005. Additionally, Towers Perrin advised the Committee and the
Company regarding executive compensation programs generally and provided advice on trends in
compensation. The Committee anticipates that it will undertake similar periodic reviews in the
future and that it will use the services of outside consultants for similar services in the
future.
Compensation Philosophy
The general philosophy of our executive compensation program is to offer compensation,
including base salaries, bonus and equity incentives, that is competitive in the marketplace and
will permit us to attract and retain highly qualified executives, encourage extraordinary effort
on behalf of the Company and align the interests of management with the interests of our
stockholders. The employment agreements with executives and the incentive compensation plans
reflect this philosophy. We provide our executive officers with relatively limited perquisites
that we believe are reasonable and in the best interests of Insight and its stockholders.
Base Salary
The Committee reviews base salaries annually and targets base pay for executive officers at
or near the median of the comparison groups and adjusts, as appropriate, for tenure, performance
and variations in actual position responsibilities from position descriptions in the comparison
groups. In the Towers Perrin study, however, the Committee reviewed variances from comparison
groups not just at the median but at the 25th and 75th percentiles as well in order to give it a
better view of the competitiveness of pay at the Company. Based on its review, the Committee did
not adjust salaries for the named executive officers, except for Mr. Glandon, in 2005 or in 2006.
One of our executive officers, Mr. McGrath, joined the Company in May 2005 as President of Insight
Direct USA, Inc., and the Committee set his base salary at the same rate as that of his
predecessor.
Cash Incentive Compensation, Total Cash Compensation
For 2005, the Committee retained its stance of placing relatively greater emphasis on cash
incentive compensation than base salary and, accordingly, set cash incentive plans for executive
officers such that a significant portion of total compensation would come from cash incentive if
financial targets were met. The Committee views cash incentive compensation as a means of closely
tying a significant portion of the total potential cash compensation to executives to the
financial performance of the Company or the portion of the Company for which the executive has
management responsibility.
The Committee also continued efforts in 2005 to adjust cash incentive structures to yield
cash incentive compensation and total cash compensation closer to targeted amounts. As such, the
Committee began a concerted effort to align the basis of compensation over the entire senior
management team and remained committed in its awards to providing, overall, compensation for the
entire team of named executive officers which is competitive with compensation offered in the
market.
To meet these compensation goals, the Committee put in place cash incentive compensation
plans for executive officers for 2005 (except that for 2005 Mr. Fennessys incentive compensation
had been set in
20
his November 2004 employment agreement, as described below) based upon diluted earnings per
share (EPS), provided that EPS exceeds a minimum annual amount (the Minimum EPS). For these
purposes, the Company makes the same adjustments to EPS as it makes when it reconciles financial
measures prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) to any non-GAAP financial measures in the quarterly press releases of the results of
operations of the Company. Under these plans, so long as the Minimum EPS number is reached, the
executives receive a bonus calculated by multiplying EPS by a fixed multiplier and multiplying
that product by a performance factor which increases with rising EPS, allowing the Company to
recognize better performance with greater rewards. The plans also provide that if the Minimum EPS
is not reached, bonus awards are subject to the discretion of the Committee to prevent the Company
from becoming committed to paying for underperformance. As appropriate, based upon
responsibilities, the EPS was split over more than one segment in order to incent growth in the
direct area of responsibility and to encourage teamwork throughout the Company, and, accordingly,
the executive officers earned incentive compensation at different rates, reflecting, as planned,
performance of the various segments of the Company. The Compensation Committee, in recognition of
individual performance in 2005, approved discretionary bonuses in the following amounts: Mr.
Fennessy, $150,000; Mr. Laybourne, $100,000; Mr. Glandon, $20,000; and Mr. Rice, $12,000.
With the cash-based incentive compensation plans approved in December 2005 for 2006, the
Committee has furthered its goal of aligning compensation throughout the Company and,
particularly, for the executive officers. Under the 2006 cash-based incentive compensation
program, executives will earn incentive compensation based on achievement of financial objectives
against targeted amounts for their respective business units, with payout varying with financial
performance levels below and above target levels, and awards are in the discretion of the
Committee over or below specified levels so that the Committee may appropriately compensate an
executive for truly exceptional performance and avoid overpaying an executive if the business unit
underperforms. The two key metrics driving 2006 cash-based incentive compensation are non-GAAP
quarterly operating margin percentage (with the incentive for performance on this metric to be
paid quarterly) and annual net sales growth (with the incentive for performance on this metric to
be paid annually).
Equity-Based Incentive Compensation
The Committee views equity-based compensation as a critical component of the overall
executive compensation program and targets equity-based incentive compensation grants at or above
the median for the comparison groups to motivate and reward executives for long-term strategic
management and increases in stockholder value. Grants of stock options to our named executive
officers, when made, are at an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common
stock at the close of trading on the date of grant, thus serving to focus the officers attention
on managing the Company from the perspective of an owner with a continuing equity stake in the
business.
In accordance with our overall compensation philosophy and view of appropriate total
compensation, and, in particular, to further the long-term perspective that we believe is
necessary for the Companys future success, we made stock option awards to our executive officers,
including the Chief Executive Officer, in May 2005 under the Companys 1998 Long-Term Incentive
Plan, which was last approved by stockholders in May 2000. Individual grant levels were based on
job responsibilities, tenure, anticipated future contributions to the Company and the relation of
the awards to total compensation.
In order to link equity-based incentive compensation more closely to annual performance, to
continue to align the interests of management and stockholders and, in part, in light of changing
accounting requirements and market expectations, the Committee decided, in December 2005, that it
would make grants of equity-based incentive compensation awards in January 2006 (as opposed to
later in the year)
21
and that it would grant restricted stock units (RSUs) instead of stock options at this
point in time. Using the same general criteria as it used for stock option awards in May 2005, the
Committee awarded restricted stock units to executive officers (including the Chief Executive
Officer) in January 2006 in two programs under the Companys 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan. In the
first program, RSUs are service-based and the restrictions lapse evenly over three years, starting
in February 2007. In the second program, the number of RSUs increases or decreases with actual
earnings per share (for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006, on a consolidated non-GAAP
diluted basis) greater or less than target earnings per share, and the RSUs vest in three equal
annual installments beginning February 1, 2007. Grant levels are higher in the second program
than in the first, reflecting the risk incorporated into the design of the second program.
Chief Executive Officer Compensation
The Committee determines compensation for the Chief Executive Officer using the same criteria
it used for other executives, placing relatively less emphasis on base salary and, instead,
creating greater performance based opportunities for incentive compensation (cash and equity).
The Committee meets each year in executive session to evaluate the performance of the Chief
Executive Officer.
Richard A. Fennessy joined the Company in November 2004, and, at that time, the Committee set
a base salary for Mr. Fennessy at $695,000, the salary of Mr. Fennessys predecessor. No change
in base salary was made during 2005, and no change in base salary has been made for 2006. With
respect to incentive compensation, in his employment agreement, we agreed to pay Mr. Fennessy, for
2005 only, the greater of $1,000,000 or 1,000,000 times the actual diluted earnings per share
divided by $1.20. As the formula did not yield more than the minimum, we paid Mr. Fennessy the
guaranteed amount for the year. The Compensation Committee, outside of the employment agreement,
also awarded a discretionary bonus of $150,000 to Mr. Fennessy in recognition of his performance
in 2005. Additionally, at the time Mr. Fennessy joined the Company, the Committee decided that it
was important to provide Mr. Fennessy with equity compensation in the form of stock options and
restricted stock in order to motivate and reward him for long-term strategic management and
increases in stockholder value, and the Committee committed to making those awards in his
employment agreement. Accordingly, and pursuant to his employment agreement, a portion of the
awards was made in November 2004 (an option to acquire 500,000 shares of our common stock) and a
portion (an option to acquire 250,000 shares of our common stock and a grant of 75,000 shares of
restricted stock) was made in January 2005. As discussed above, Mr. Fennessy also received a
grant of stock options (for 100,000 shares of our common stock) in May 2005 along with other
executive officers, grants of restricted stock units (16,000 in program one and 24,000 in program
two) in January 2006 and is eligible for cash-based incentive compensation based on non-GAAP
quarterly operating margin percentage and annual net sales growth. Additionally, the Committee
will evaluate Mr. Fennessys performance for the entire 2006 year and, in our discretion, we can
adjust his actual cash incentive compensation, within the cash-based incentive program, plus or
minus fifteen percent.
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code
Section 162(m) generally prohibits a public company from taking a tax deduction for
compensation over one million dollars paid to the Chief Executive Officer and its four other
highest paid executive officers unless certain conditions are met. While the anticipated tax
treatment of base and incentive compensation is given some weight in making compensation
decisions, the deductibility of some types of compensation can depend upon the timing of an
executives exercise of previously granted stock options or the vesting of restricted stock or
restricted stock units, or both. Additionally, the interpretation of tax laws and regulations,
and changes in laws and regulations, can also affect deductibility of compensation, and there may
be other factors beyond the Committees control which affect deductibility. For these
22
reasons, and because the Committee believes that awards of compensation which would not
comply with the Section 162(m) requirements may at times further the long-term interests of the
Company and its stockholders, the Committee has not adopted a policy of limiting awards of
compensation to amounts which would be deductible under Section 162(m). However, the Committee
expects that the vast majority of compensation paid in 2006 to the Chief Executive Officer and the
four other most highly paid officers as a group will be tax deductible.

STOCK PRICE PERFORMANCE GRAPH
Our stock trades under the symbol NSIT on the Nasdaq National Market. Set forth below is a

stock with the cumulative total return of the Nasdaq Stock Market U.S. Companies (Market Index) and
the Nasdaq Retail Trade Stocks (Peer Index) for the period starting January 1, 2001 and ending
December 31, 2005. The graph assumes that $100 was invested on January 1, 2001 in our common stock

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
As described more fully in its charter, the purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the
Board of Directors in its general oversight of Insights financial reporting, internal control and
audit functions. Insights management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and
integrity of our financial statements, accounting and financial reporting principles, internal
controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards, applicable laws
and regulations. Insights independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for
performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards.
Among other matters, the Audit Committee monitors the activities and performance of Insights
internal auditors and KPMG, including the audit scope, auditor independence matters and the extent
to which KPMG may be retained to perform non-audit services. The Audit Committee has the ultimate
authority and responsibility to select, evaluate, and when appropriate, replace the independent
registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee also reviews the results of the internal
auditors and KPMG work with regard to the adequacy and appropriateness of Insights financial,
accounting and internal controls, including obtaining progress reports throughout the year on
Insights compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The
Audit Committee engaged in regular discussions with the director of internal audit and KPMG without
the presence of senior members of management during 2005. Management and KPMG presentations to,
and discussions with, the Audit Committee also covered various topics and events that have
significant financial impact on Insight or are the subject of discussions between management and
KPMG. In this context, the Audit Committee met nine times during 2005, during which it held
discussions with senior members of Insights financial management team, the director of internal
audit and KPMG.
The Audit Committee has adopted procedures for pre-approving all audit and permissible
non-audit services provided by KPMG. For each non-audit service, as defined in the policy,
performed by the KPMG, an engagement letter confirming the scope and terms of the work to be
performed is submitted to the Committee for pre-approval. Any modification to an executed
engagement letter must also be pre-approved by the Committee. As permitted by Section 10A(i)(3) of
the Exchange Act, the Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to the Chairman of the
Audit Committee for all engagements under $50,000. The Chairman of the Audit Committee must report
any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next regular quarterly meeting.
Management has reviewed Insights audited consolidated financial statements with the Audit
Committee including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the relevant
accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments made in connection with critical
accounting principles and the accuracy and clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. In
addressing the quality of managements accounting judgments, members of the Audit Committee asked
for managements representations that the audited consolidated financial statements of Insight have
been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
The Audit Committee discussed with KPMG the matters required to be discussed with the Audit
Committee under Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, Communication with Audit
Committees. KPMG also provided to the Audit Committee a letter with the written disclosures
required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit
Committees, and the Audit Committee discussed with KPMG their independence.
Based on the Audit Committees discussions with management and KPMG and its review of the
representation of management and the report of KPMG to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee
recommended that the Board of Directors include the audited consolidated financial statements in
the
27
Insights Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

RELATIONSHIP WITH INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Our independent registered public accounting firm during the year ended December 31, 2005 was
KPMG. KPMG has audited our financial statements since 1988.
Fees and Independence
Audit Fees. KPMG billed us an aggregate of $1,560,000 and $1,582,000 for professional
services rendered for the audit of our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005
and 2004, its reviews of our financial statements included in our quarterly reports on form 10-Q
and statutory audits in the United Kingdom for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively.
Audit-Related Fees. KPMG billed us an aggregate of $0 and $0 for assurance and services
related to employee benefit plan audits, accounting consultations, due diligence related to mergers
and acquisitions and additional attest services for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively.
Tax Fees. Tax fees for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 of $123,000 and $208,000,
respectively, include fees for services relating to tax compliance, unclaimed property, expatriates
and tax planning and advice including tax assistance with tax audits.
All Other Fees. There were no other fees paid to KPMG for the years ended December 31, 2005
and 2004.
The Audit Committee has determined that the provision of services by KPMG described in the
preceding paragraphs is compatible with maintaining KPMGs independence. All permissible non-audit
services provided by KPMG in 2005 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee. In addition, no audit
engagement hours were spent by people other than KPMGs full-time, permanent employees.
Pursuant to Section 202 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our Audit Committee has approved
all auditing and non-audit services performed to date and currently planned to be provided related
to the fiscal year 2005 by our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG. The services
include the annual audit, quarterly reviews, issuances of consents related to SEC filings and
certain tax compliance services.

PROPOSAL NO. 2
RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF KPMG
AS INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Our Audit Committee has retained KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm in
2006, and we are asking stockholders to ratify that appointment. In the event the stockholders
fail to ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will reconsider this appointment but will not
necessarily select another firm. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its
discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm
at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the
best interests of the Company and our stockholders. Representatives of KPMG will attend the annual
meeting, have an opportunity to make a statement and be available to answer questions.
YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS
A VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF KPMG
AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
If any stockholder would like to make a proposal at our 2007 annual meeting, including the
nomination of a director candidate, we must receive it no later than November 24, 2006 in order
that it may be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement and form of proxy relating to that
meeting. Stockholders may propose director candidates for consideration by sending the name of any
recommended candidate, together with pertinent biographical information, a document indicating the
candidates willingness to serve if elected, and evidence of the nominating stockholders ownership
of our common stock to our Corporate Secretary at 1305 West Auto Drive, Tempe, Arizona 85284. If
any stockholder intends to present a proposal at the 2007 annual meeting of stockholders without
inclusion of such proposal in our proxy materials, we must receive notice of such proposal no later
than January 12, 2007. Any notice received after January 12, 2007 is untimely. We reserve the
right to reject, rule out of order, or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal
that does not comply with these and other applicable requirements. Proposals should be addressed
to our Corporate Secretary at 1305 West Auto Drive, Tempe, Arizona 85284.
