Section 1 — Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01
Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report
This Form SD of SYNNEX Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is filed pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Form SD (collectively, the "Conflict Minerals Rule") for the reporting period of January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013. As used herein and consistent with the Conflict Minerals Rule, “conflict minerals” are columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite and the derivatives tantalum, tin and tungsten, without regard to the location of origin of the minerals or derivative metals.
We are a business process services company offering a comprehensive range of services to resellers, retailers, original equipment manufacturers, financial and insurance institutions and several other industry verticals worldwide. We operate in two segments: Technology Solutions and Concentrix. Our Technology Solutions segment distributes peripherals, information technology systems, including data center server and storage solutions, system components, software, networking equipment, consumer electronics, and complementary products. Within the Technology Solutions segment, our distribution services are complemented by systems design and integration services. Our Concentrix segment offers a range of global business outsourcing services around process optimization, customer engagement strategy and back office automation to customers in various industry verticals.
Our revenues during 2013 were largely from distribution and global business outsourcing services, which were not in-scope for purposes of our compliance with the Conflict Minerals Rule. A portion of our systems design and integration business within the Technology Solutions segment involved our manufacture, by assembly or integration, of data center servers and storage products, which were in-scope products. Based on responses from our suppliers during our reasonable country of origin inquiry for 2013, gold, tantalum, tin and tungsten were necessary to the functionality or production of products that we manufactured.
Conflict Minerals Report
A Conflict Minerals Report is provided as an exhibit to this Form SD and is available at ir.synnex.com/sec. The information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference into this Form SD or our Conflict Minerals Report and should not be considered part of this Form SD or the Conflict Minerals Report. We have filed a Conflict Minerals Report because, for 2013, the data center servers and storage products that we manufactured had necessary conflict minerals of undetermined origin.
