(unaudited)

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

SYNNEX Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, herein referred to as “SYNNEX” or the “Company”) is a business process services company headquartered in Fremont, California and has operations in North and South America, Asia-Pacific and Europe.

The Company has two reportable segments: Technology Solutions and Concentrix. The Technology Solutions segment distributes a broad range of information technology systems and products and also provides systems design and integration solutions. The Concentrix segment offers a portfolio of strategic solutions and end-to-end global business outsourcing services focused on customer engagement, process optimization, technology innovation, front and back-office automation and business transformation to clients in ten identified industry verticals.

The accompanying interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of May 31, 2018 and for the three and six months ended May 31, 2018 and 2017 have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The amounts as of November 30, 2017 have been derived from the Company’s annual audited financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial position of the Company and its results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2017.

Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of financial results for a full year, and the Company makes no representations related thereto.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

For a discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies, please see the discussion in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2017. Accounting pronouncements adopted during the six months ended May 31, 2018 are discussed below.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and derivative instruments.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and derivative instruments are transacted and maintained with financial institutions with high credit standing, and their compositions and maturities are regularly monitored by management. Through May 31, 2018, the Company had not experienced any credit losses on such deposits and derivative instruments.

Accounts receivable include amounts due from customers and original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) vendors primarily in the technology industry. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary, but generally requires no collateral. The Company also maintains allowances for potential credit losses. In estimating the required allowances, the Company takes into consideration the overall quality and aging of the receivable portfolio, the existence of a limited amount of credit insurance and specifically identified customer and vendor risks. Through May 31, 2018, such losses have been within management’s expectations.

One customer accounted for 18% of the Company's total revenue during both the three and six months ended May 31, 2018. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2017, the same customer accounted for 21% and 19% of the Company's total revenue, respectively. Products purchased from the Company’s largest OEM supplier, HP Inc., accounted for approximately 12% of total revenue during both the three and six months ended May 31, 2018 and approximately 13% and 14% of total revenue during the three and six months ended May 31, 2017, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS---(continued)

For the three and six months ended May 31, 2018 and 2017

(currency and share amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

(unaudited)

As of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, one customer comprised 14% and 12%, respectively, of the total accounts receivable balance.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is computed based on the weighted-average method. Inventories are comprised of finished goods and work-in-process. Finished goods include products purchased for resale, system components purchased for both resale and for use in the Company’s systems design and integration business, and completed systems. Work-in-process inventories are not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as previously reported.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncement

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (the “FASB”), issued guidance which changes the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The guidance requires the income tax effects of changes in the Company's stock price from the grant date to the vesting date of the employee stock compensation to be recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations within income tax expense instead of within additional paid-in capital and changed its classification in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows from financing activities to operating activities. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 and recorded excess tax benefits within income tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in fiscal year 2018 and classified such benefits in operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued a new credit loss standard that replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP. The new impairment model requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur for most financial assets and certain other instruments. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 is permitted. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first effective reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

In February 2016, the FASB issued a new standard which revises various aspects of accounting for leases. The most significant impact to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements relates to the recognition by a lessee of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of its leases other than short-term leases. The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments. The asset will be based on the liability, subject to adjustment, such as for initial direct costs. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification. For income statement purposes, operating leases will result in a straight line expense while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern. This accounting standard will be applicable to the Company at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal year 2020 using a modified retrospective approach and early adoption is permitted. The Company expects that most of its operating lease commitments will be subject to the new standard and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption and is currently evaluating the impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements upon the adoption of this new standard.

In January 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which amends various aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. With respect to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the most significant impact relates to the accounting for equity investments (other than those that are consolidated or accounted under the equity method) which will be measured at fair value through earnings. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted only for certain provisions. The amendments should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the

(currency and share amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

(unaudited)

beginning of the fiscal year of adoption, with other amendments related specifically to equity securities without readily determinable fair values applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard for contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of this standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include the capitalization and amortization of certain contract costs, ensuring the time value of money is considered in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. This guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB amended this accounting standard and postponed the implementation date to fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016 is permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. This accounting standard will be applicable to the Company at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The Company has established an implementation team and engaged external advisers to assess the Company’s business and contracts. The Company is in the process of determining the transition method and evaluating the impact of several aspects of the standard including principal versus agent considerations, identification of performance obligations and the determination of when control of goods and services transfers to the Company’s customers.

NOTE 3—ACQUISITIONS:

Fiscal 2017 acquisitions

On September 1, 2017, the Company acquired the North America and Latin America distribution businesses of Datatec Limited, a public limited company incorporated in the Republic of South Africa (“Datatec”), through the purchase of 100% of the shares of its subsidiary, Westcon Group, Inc., a Delaware company (“Westcon-Comstor Americas”) for a purchase price of approximately $633,568. The purchase price was comprised of $602,739 paid in cash, fair value of contingent consideration payable of $33,098 and a refund of $2,269 receivable from Datatec towards the settlement of certain pre-acquisition intra Datatec group transactions. During the six months ended May 31, 2018, the Company received $2,269 from Datatec and classified this amount in investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company also recorded measurement period adjustments of $961 to the fair value of acquired net tangible assets with a corresponding reduction to goodwill. Up to May 31, 2018, acquisition-related and integration expenses were $4,941, which included a net benefit of $588 and a charge of $1,217 during the three and six months ended May 31, 2018. The acquisition-related and integration charges were recorded in “Selling, general and administrative expenses,” while a benefit of $2,634 was recorded in "Interest expense and other finance charges, net" due to the de-designation of an interest rate swap associated with the planned termination of the Westcon-Comstor Americas debt.

The preliminary purchase price allocation is based upon a preliminary valuation and the Company’s estimates are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the fair value of certain tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contingent consideration payable, if any, the valuation of intangible assets acquired and related deferred income taxes. The Company expects to continue to obtain information for the purpose of determining the fair value of the net assets acquired during the measurement period.

Under the terms of the acquisition agreement with Datatec, contingent consideration of up to $200,000 would be payable in cash if certain gross profit targets were achieved for the twelve-month period ended February 28, 2018. The Company is in the process of finalizing the amount of contingent consideration payable, if any.

On July 31, 2017, the Company acquired 100% of Tigerspike Pty Ltd (“Tigerspike”), a digital products company incorporated in Australia, specializing in strategy, experience design, development and systems integration, for a preliminary purchase price of $68,457, including a holdback amount which was payable to the sellers upon the finalization of post-closing adjustments. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company recorded certain immaterial measurement period

adjustments to the fair value of assumed net tangible liabilities, decreasing goodwill by $631 and the purchase price by $1,443, resulting in a final purchase price of $67,014, and paid the remaining holdback amount of $8,191 to the sellers.

NOTE 6—INVESTMENTS:

The carrying amount of the Company’s investments is shown in the table below:

	May 31, 2018								November 30, 2017
	Adjusted Cost Basis		Unrealized Gains		Unrealized Losses		Carrying Value		Adjusted Cost Basis		Unrealized Gains (Losses)			Carrying Value

Cost-method investments	33,625		—		—		33,625		33,817		—			33,817

Short-term trading securities consist of the Company's equity interest in a company obtained through a stock swap arrangement, whereby the Company's investment in the equity security of a private entity, classified as a long-term cost-method investment, was acquired by the investee's parent for equivalent shares of the parent company, for which the fair value is readily determinable. Short-term held-to-maturity investments primarily consist of term deposits with maturities from the date of purchase greater than three months and less than one year. These term deposits are held until the maturity date and are not traded. Long-term available-for-sale securities primarily consist of investments in other companies’ equity securities and foreign government bonds purchased pursuant to local regulations, maturing in fiscal year 2023. Long-term held-to-maturity investments consist of term deposits with maturities not exceeding one year. These term deposits are renewed due to certain restrictions under the terms of an acquisition arrangement. Long-term cost-method investments consist of investments in equity securities of private entities.

Trading and available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value in each reporting period and therefore the carrying value of these securities equals their fair value. Available for sale securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for longer than 12 months are not material. For cost-method investments, the Company records an impairment charge when the decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary. The fair value of cost-method investments is based on an internal valuation of the investees.

The following table summarizes the total gains recorded in “Other expense, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for changes in the fair value of the Company's trading investment:



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	May 31, 2018		May 31, 2017		May 31, 2018		May 31, 2017
Gains on trading securities	$	2,824	$	—	$	2,824	$	—

Cash flows from purchases and maturities of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities are classified as cash flows from investing activities and reported gross on a combined basis as these principally represent cash flows from held-to-maturity securities.

NOTE 7—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS:

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, equity risk and credit risk. The Company’s transactions in most of its foreign operations are primarily denominated in local currency. The Company enters into transactions, and owns monetary assets and liabilities, that are denominated in currencies other than the legal entity’s functional currency. The Company may enter into forward contracts, option contracts, swaps, or other derivative

instruments to offset a portion of the risk on expected future cash flows, on net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries and on certain existing assets and liabilities. However, the Company may choose not to hedge certain exposures for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, accounting considerations and the prohibitive economic cost of hedging particular exposures. There can be no assurance the hedges will offset more than a portion of the financial impact resulting from movements in foreign currency exchange or interest rates.

All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of a derivative are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as “Other expense, net” or as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, as discussed below.

As part of its risk management strategy, the Company uses short-term forward contracts to offset the foreign exchange risk on assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective entities. These forward-exchange contracts are not designated as hedging instruments. The forward exchange contracts are recorded at fair value in each reporting period and any gains or losses, resulting from the changes in fair value, are recorded in earnings in the period of change.

The Company also uses interest rate swaps to economically convert portion of its variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. The swaps have maturities up to September 2022. These swaps may be designated as cash flow hedges of the variability in interest payments due to changes in the contractually specified interest rates of the Company's debt. Gains and losses on cash flow hedges are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Deferred gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges of interest expense are recognized in “Interest expense and finance charges, net” in the same period as the related expense is recognized.

Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges must be de-designated as hedges when it is probable the forecasted hedged transaction will not occur in the initially identified time period or within a subsequent two-month time period. Deferred gains and losses in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” associated with such derivative instruments are reclassified immediately into “Interest expense and finance charges, net.” Any subsequent changes in fair value of such derivative instruments are reflected in “Interest expense and finance charges, net” unless they are re-designated as hedges of other transactions.

Generally, the Company does not use derivative instruments to cover equity risk and credit risk. The Company’s policy is not to allow the use of derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments are also disclosed in Note 8.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments as of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017:

The notional amounts of the foreign exchange forward contracts that were outstanding as of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017 were $395,521 and $248,069, respectively. The notional amounts represent the gross amounts of foreign currency, including the Brazilian Real, Indian Rupee, Canadian Dollar, Philippines Peso, Mexican peso, British Pound, Chinese Yuan, and Euro, that will be bought or sold at maturity. The contracts mature in six months or less. In relation to its forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments, the Company recorded net gains of $8,709 and $5,675, respectively, during the three and six months ended May 31, 2018 and net losses of $2 and $2,199, respectively, during the three and six months ended May 31, 2017, in “Other expense, net.”

As of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, the Company had interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges, with aggregate notional amounts of $500,000 and $600,000, respectively. The swaps have maturities up to September 2022. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2018, the Company recorded losses before taxes of $20 and gains before taxes of $7,457, respectively, in “Other comprehensive income (loss)” related to changes in the fair value of its derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedging instruments. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2017, the Company recorded losses before taxes of $1,009 and gains before taxes of $908, respectively, in “Other comprehensive income (loss)” related to changes in the fair value of its derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedging instruments. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2018, the Company de-designated a swap with a notional value of $100,000 and reclassified deferred gains before taxes of $2,634 into “Interest expense and finance charges, net.” Existing gains in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" that are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the normal course of business within the next twelve months are not material.

The net effect on earnings of the interest rate swaps are presented in "Interest expense and finance charges, net." The net earnings effect is shown in the following table at settlement values:



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	May 31, 2018		May 31, 2017		May 31, 2018		May 31, 2017
Gains (losses) reclassified from "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" into income	2,695		(191	)	2,455		(582	)
Total "Interest expense and finance charges, net"	(16,375	)	(8,962	)	(33,826	)	(17,144	)

In the Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Company does not offset derivative assets against liabilities in master netting arrangements. If derivative exposures covered by a qualifying master netting agreement had been netted in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the total derivative asset and liability positions would have been reduced by $910 each as of May 31, 2018 and $1,352 each as of November 30, 2017.

Credit exposure for derivative financial instruments is limited to the amounts, if any, by which the counterparties’ obligations under the contracts exceed our obligations to the counterparties. We manage the potential risk of credit losses through careful evaluation of counterparty credit standing and selection of counterparties from a limited group of financial institutions.

NOTE 8—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

The Company’s fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company’s investments and financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Contingent consideration payable	33,098		—		—		33,098		33,098		—		—		33,098

The Company’s cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments in money market funds and term deposits with maturity periods of three months or less. The carrying values of cash equivalents approximate fair value since they are near their maturity. Investments in trading and available-for-sale securities consist of equity securities and are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. The fair values of forward exchange contracts are measured based on the foreign currency spot and forward rates quoted by the banks or foreign currency dealers. Fair values of long-term foreign currency exchange contract and interest rate swaps are measured using standard valuation models using inputs that are readily available in public markets, or can be derived from observable market transactions, including the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) spot and forward rates. The effect of nonperformance risk on the fair value of derivative instruments was not material as of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017.

Contingent consideration payable represents acquisition-related future potential earn-out payments. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability was based on a probabilistic analysis using an option pricing model as implemented via a Monte Carlo simulation. The model considered an expected case forecast for the remainder of the earn-out period, estimated volatility around the forecast, a measure of systematic risk as captured by a market price of risk adjustment, and a discount rate including non-performance risk. There was no change in fair value during the six months ended May 31, 2018.

The carrying values of held-to-maturity securities with maturities less than one year, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximate fair value due to their short maturities and interest rates which are variable in nature. The fair value of long-term held-to-maturity investments in foreign government bonds is based on quoted market prices. The carrying value of the Company’s term loans approximate their fair value since they bear interest rates that are similar to existing market rates.

During the six months ended May 31, 2018, there were no transfers between the fair value measurement category levels.

NOTE 9—ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARRANGEMENTS:

The Company has an uncommitted supply-chain financing program with a global financial institution under which trade accounts receivable of certain customers and their affiliates may be acquired, without recourse, by the financial institution. Available capacity under this program is dependent on the level of our trade accounts receivable with these customers and the financial institution’s willingness to purchase such receivables. As of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017, accounts receivable sold to and held by the financial institution under this program were $32,417 and $49,826, respectively. Discount fees related to the sale of trade accounts receivable under this facility are included in “Interest expense and finance charges,

SYNNEX Infotec, the Company's Japanese Technology Solutions subsidiary, has arrangements with financial institutions for the sale and financing of approved accounts receivable and notes receivable. The amounts outstanding under these arrangements that were sold, but not collected, as of May 31, 2018 and November 30, 2017 were $2,907 and $2,306, respectively.

The Company also has other financing agreements in North America with financial institutions (“Flooring Companies”) to allow certain customers of the Company to finance their purchases directly with the Flooring Companies. Under these agreements, the Flooring Companies pay to the Company the selling price of products sold to customers, less a discount, within approximately 15 to 30 days from the date of sale. The Company is contingently liable to repurchase inventory sold under flooring agreements in the event of any default by its customers under the agreement and such inventory being repossessed by the Flooring Companies. Please see Note 17 for further information.

The following table summarizes the net sales financed through flooring agreements and the flooring fees incurred:

SYNNEX United States accounts receivable securitization arrangement

In the United States, the Company has an accounts receivable securitization program to provide additional capital for its operations (the “U.S. AR Arrangement”). Prior to the amendment described in this paragraph, under the terms of the U.S. AR Arrangement, the Company’s subsidiary that is the borrower under this facility could borrow up to a maximum of $600,000 based upon eligible trade accounts receivable denominated in United States dollars. In addition, the U.S. AR Arrangement included an accordion feature to allow requests for an increase in the lenders' commitment by an additional $120,000. In May 2018, the U.S. AR Arrangement was amended to increase the maximum borrowing amount to $850,000 and the accordion feature was increased to $150,000. The amendment also extended the expiration date of the U.S. AR Arrangement from November 2019 to May 2020. The effective borrowing cost under the U.S. AR Arrangement is a blended rate based upon the composition of the lenders that includes prevailing dealer commercial paper rates and a rate based upon LIBOR, provided that LIBOR shall not be less than zero. In addition, a program fee of 0.75% per annum based on the used portion of the commitment, and a facility fee of 0.35% per annum is payable on the adjusted commitment of the lenders.

Under the terms of the U.S. AR Arrangement, the Company and two of its U.S. subsidiaries sell, on a revolving basis, their receivables (other than certain specifically excluded receivables) to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. The borrowings are funded by pledging all of the rights, title and interest in and to the receivables acquired by the Company's bankruptcy-remote subsidiary as security. Any amounts received under the U.S. AR Arrangement are recorded as debt on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 16—TAXES:

Income taxes, comprising current and deferred tax expense resulting from income earned in domestic and foreign jurisdictions, have been included on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate. On December 22, 2017, Public Law 115-97, informally referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the TCJA”) was enacted into law. The TCJA provides for significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that impact corporate taxation requirements. The TCJA significantly revises the ongoing U.S. corporate income tax law by lowering the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, implementing a territorial tax system, imposing a one-time tax on foreign unremitted earnings and setting limitations on deductibility of certain costs (e.g., interest expense), among other things. Due to the complexities involved in accounting for the TCJA, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118"), which allows a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the TCJA to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. SAB 118 requires that

the Company include in its financial statements the reasonable estimate of the impact of the TCJA on earnings to the extent such reasonable estimate has been determined. Accordingly, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company recorded a provisional adjustment of $67,623, for the transition tax expense for the mandatory repatriation and a $25,923 tax benefit from the remeasurement of the net deferred taxes due to the new U.S. tax rate. During the three months ended May 31, 2018, the Company updated its computation of the transition tax to $50,623 and, accordingly, recorded a tax benefit of $17,000. These estimates may be impacted by new guidance issued by regulators, additional information obtained related to earnings and profits in foreign jurisdictions and the impact of our financial position as of the measurement date of November 30, 2018. Excluding the impact of the adjustments related to the TCJA, the Company's effective tax rate during the six months ended May 31, 2018 was 28.4%. The repatriation tax is payable in installments over eight years.

NOTE 17—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

The Company leases certain of its facilities under operating lease agreements, which expire in various periods through 2028. Future minimum contractually required cash payment obligations under non-cancellable lease agreements as of May 31, 2018 were as follows:



Fiscal Years Ending November 30,
2018 (remaining six months)	$	47,721
2019	85,388
2020	69,747
2021	47,467
2022	37,084
Thereafter	67,014
Total minimum lease payments	$	354,421

During the three and six months ended May 31, 2018, rent expense was $29,642 and $61,315, respectively. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2017, rent expense was $28,741 and $56,733, respectively. Sublease income was immaterial for each of the periods presented and is immaterial for the amounts entitled to be received in future periods under non-cancellable sublease arrangements.

The Company was contingently liable as of May 31, 2018 under agreements to repurchase repossessed inventory acquired by flooring companies as a result of default on floor plan financing arrangements by the Company's customers. These arrangements are described in Note 9—Accounts Receivable Arrangements and do not have expiration dates. As the Company does not have access to information regarding the amount of inventory purchased from the Company still on hand with the customer at any point in time, the Company’s repurchase obligations relating to inventory cannot be reasonably estimated. Losses, if any, would be the difference between the repossession cost and the resale value of the inventory. There have been no repurchases through May 31, 2018 under these agreements and the Company is not aware of any pending customer defaults or repossession obligations. The Company believes that, based on historical experience, the likelihood of a material loss pursuant to these inventory repurchase obligations is remote.

From time to time, the Company receives notices from third parties, including customers and suppliers, seeking indemnification, payment of money or other actions in connection with claims made against them. Also, from time to time, the Company has been involved in various bankruptcy preference actions where the Company was a supplier to the companies now in bankruptcy. In addition, the Company is subject to various other claims, both asserted and unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company is currently not involved in any material proceedings.

Guarantees

In December 2009, the Company, as the ultimate parent, guaranteed the obligations of SYNNEX Investment Holdings Corporation up to $35,035 in connection with the sale of China Civilink (Cayman), which operated in China as HiChina Web Solutions, to Alibaba.com Limited. The guarantee expires in fiscal year 2018.

The Company does not believe that the above commitments and contingencies will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

NOTE 18—SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

Merger Agreement

On June 28, 2018, the Company announced a merger agreement (the "Merger Agreement") to acquire Convergys Corporation, an Ohio Corporation ("Convergys") in a 50% cash and 50% stock transaction for $26.50 per share of Convergys common stock, or approximately $2,426,000 at the date of the announcement. Combined with Convergys’s net debt as of March 31, 2018, the total transaction value is approximately $2,742,000. Each share of Convergys common stock will be exchanged for $13.25 per share in cash and 0.1193 shares (Exchange Ratio) of SYNNEX common stock, subject to certain adjustments to be made at closing if the 20 day average trading price of the Company's stock three trading days prior to closing, has increased or decreased by more than 10% from a baseline price. Following the proposed transaction, Convergys shareholders will own between approximately 20% and 22% of SYNNEX shares on a fully-diluted basis based on the number of SYNNEX shares outstanding. Either party can terminate the Merger Agreement if the other party’s stockholder approval is not obtained and collect a fee equal to $12,350.

The acquisition is related to the Company's Concentrix segment and is expected to add scale, expand the Company's delivery footprint and strengthen the Company’s leadership position as a top global provider of customer engagement services. For its fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, Convergys generated $2,792,100 in revenue and $121,400 of net income.

Completion of the acquisition is subject to approval by the Company's stockholders and Convergys' shareholders, approval by the New York Stock Exchange of the listing of the SYNNEX stock to be issued as consideration, and other customary closing conditions, including expiration of the federal Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 waiting period and other similar antitrust laws in Canada, the European Union and the Philippines. The Company expects the transaction to close by the end of the calendar year 2018.

Debt Commitment Letter

In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into a debt commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”), dated as of June 28, 2018, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A. (collectively, the “Initial Lenders”) and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, pursuant to which the Initial Lenders have committed to provide a 364-day senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $3,570,000, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions (the “Bridge Facility”). The Bridge Facility is available (i) to pay for a portion of the merger consideration, (ii) to directly or indirectly pay, repay, repurchase, or settle, as applicable, certain existing indebtedness of Convergys and its subsidiaries, (iii) to refinance in full all outstanding obligations under the U.S. Credit Agreement, should the existing lenders not permit the incurrence of debt in connection with the acquisition, and (iv) to pay the costs and expenses related to the merger with Convergys, the Bridge Facility and the transactions being entered into or otherwise contemplated in connection therewith.

If the Company is required to utilize the Bridge Facility, then depending on the use of proceeds described above for which the Bridge Facility may be utilized, amounts drawn thereunder will bear interest at an annual rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin which may initially range from 1.25% to 2.00%, depending on SYNNEX’ consolidated leverage ratio, which margin will be increased by 0.25% for each 90 days that elapse after the closing of the Bridge Facility, up to a maximum range of 2.00% to 2.75%. In addition, up to the lesser of (i) the unfunded commitments under the Bridge Facility and (ii) $350,000 is available to be drawn down during the 90 day period following the closing of the Bridge Facility to repurchase or settle convertible debentures of Convergys that are tendered for repurchase or converted in connection with the merger, and SYNNEX will pay commitment fees on the undrawn amount of this commitment ranging from 0.15% to 0.25% based upon SYNNEX’ consolidated leverage ratio.

Additionally, prior to the completion of the proposed Convergys acquisition, the Company's ability to issue dividends outside its normal practice or repurchase shares of common stock may be limited.

chain management. Additionally, we provide our customers with systems design and integration solutions for data center servers and networking solutions built specific to our customers' workloads and data center environments.

Our Technology Solutions business is characterized by low gross profit as a percentage of revenue, or gross margin, and low income from operations as a percentage of revenue, or operating margin.

We set our sales price based on the market supply and demand characteristics for each particular product or bundle of products we distribute and services we provide.

In our Concentrix segment, we provide a comprehensive range of strategic services and solutions to enhance our clients' customer life cycles to acquire, support and renew customer relationships, to automate and optimize processes, to maximize the value of every customer interaction and to improve business outcomes.

For more information on all of our critical accounting policies, please see the discussion in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended November 30, 2017 and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Acquisitions

On June 28, 2018, we announced a merger agreement (the "Merger Agreement") to acquire Convergys Corporation, an Ohio Corporation ("Convergys") in a 50% cash and 50% stock transaction for $26.50 per share of Convergys' common stock, or approximately $2.43 billion at the date of the announcement.

Fiscal 2017 acquisitions

The purchase price was comprised of $602.7 million paid in cash, fair value of contingent consideration payable of $33.1 million and a refund of $2.3 million receivable from Datatec towards the settlement of certain pre-acquisition intra Datatec group transactions.
