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

On January 8, 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of SYNNEX granted the following performance-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to the following named executive officers (each, an “Officer”) under SYNNEX's long-term incentive program.
Officer
Number of Shares
Underlying RSU
 
Kevin Murai
31,450
 
Peter Larocque
18,241
 
Dennis Polk
18,241
 
Simon Leung
4,927
 
These RSUs relate to SYNNEX' performance based, long-term equity incentives (“LTI”) program and are in lieu of a portion of each Officer's cash compensation. This rebalancing of annual, variable compensation to 3-year, variable compensation further mitigates the potential for undue risk assumption. The LTI program is designed to provide long-term retention incentives for each Officer, and also to create an alignment between the interests of each Officer and those of our stockholders.
The RSUs will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date based upon (1) the achievement, on a cumulative basis, of minimum threshold earnings per share (“EPS”) target performance and (2) the achievement of an average return on invested capital (“ROIC”) target performance, with both performance metrics measured over a 3-year period ending November 30, 2015. The minimum threshold EPS target performance percentage is 75% and the maximum target performance percentage is 166.7% for each Officer. The actual number of RSUs, if the applicable minimum threshold EPS percentage is met, will vest on a sliding scale of the target EPS performance percentage actually achieved. The resulting number of shares that will vest based on the EPS metric will then be adjusted by a percentage increase or decrease corresponding with SYNNEX' performance as measured by the ROIC performance percentages, but in no event will an Officer be entitled to receive more than the number of shares set forth in the table above (the “Maximum Amount”). If the minimum threshold EPS target performance is not achieved, no RSUs will vest, regardless of the achievement of the ROIC performance.
At 100% target EPS and ROIC performance, the Officers' RSUs will vest as to 50% of the Maximum Amount. Any unvested shares underlying the RSUs will not vest and will be canceled. In addition, the vesting of the RSUs is contingent upon the Officer still being employed by SYNNEX on the date of vesting. In the event of an Officer's death prior to the third anniversary of the grant date, SYNNEX will transfer to such Officer's estate the number of shares that would have vested on or prior to such Officer's death.

Item 8.01.

SYNNEX has established record and meeting dates for its 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. SYNNEX stockholders of record at the close of business on February 7, 2013, will be entitled to notice of the Annual Meeting and to vote upon matters considered at the Annual Meeting.

A stockholder proposal not included in the proxy statement for SYNNEX' 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be ineligible for presentation at the Annual Meeting unless the stockholder gives timely notice of the proposal in writing to SYNNEX' Corporate Secretary at its headquarters and otherwise complies with the provisions of SYNNEX' Bylaws. To be timely, SYNNEX' Bylaws provide that SYNNEX must have received the stockholder's notice not less than 50 days nor more than 75 days prior to the scheduled date of such meeting. However, if notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the Annual Meeting is given or made to stockholders less than 65 days prior to the meeting date, SYNNEX must receive the stockholder's notice by the earlier of (i) the close of business on the 15th day after the earlier of the day SYNNEX mailed notice of the Annual Meeting date or provided such public disclosure of the Annual Meeting date and (ii) two days prior to the scheduled date of the Annual Meeting. For SYNNEX' 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, stockholders must submit written notice to the Corporate Secretary in accordance with the foregoing Bylaw provisions no later than the close of business on January 28, 2013.
