As described below, on March 26, 2007, SYNNEX Corporation (“SYNNEX”) issued a press release announcing the appointment of Mr. Thomas C. Alsborg as its Chief Financial Officer. In connection with his appointment, Mr. Alsborg and SYNNEX entered into an offer letter on March 23, 2007 (the “Offer Letter”). The Offer Letter outlined the terms of his appointment and compensation. The information required to be disclosed under this Item 1.01 is disclosed under Item 5.02 below and incorporated by reference herein. A copy of the offer letter is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and incorporated by reference herein.

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

On March 26, 2007, SYNNEX issued a press release announcing the appointment of Mr. Alsborg as its Chief Financial Officer. The full text of SYNNEX’s press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.

Mr. Alsborg will be responsible for all aspects of SYNNEX’s financial management. Mr. Alsborg is 44 years old. Most recently, from 2002 to February 2005, Mr. Alsborg was Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Solectron Global Services, a division of Solectron Corporation (“Solectron”). Since February 2005, Mr. Alsborg had been on sabbatical, during which time he had provided management consulting to certain non-profit entities. During his ten-year tenure at Solectron from 1995 to February 2005, he held management positions in corporate finance, investor relations, treasury and financial reporting and analysis. Mr. Alsborg holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from Oral Roberts University and a Master in Business Administration degree from the Leavey School of Business at Santa Clara University.

Under the Offer Letter with SYNNEX, Mr. Alsborg’s salary will be $250,000 on an annual basis. In addition, he will be entitled to receive a bonus under SYNNEX’s 2007 Profit Sharing Program of $250,000, prorated from his hire date to the end of SYNNEX’s fiscal year, November 30, 2007. Mr. Alsborg will also be eligible for a sign-on bonus of $100,000, payable upon the completion of one year of continuous service. Subject to approval by the Compensation Committee, Mr. Alsborg will receive an award of 16,666 shares of restricted stock and will be granted an option to purchase up to 50,000 shares of common stock under SYNNEX’s 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended. So long as Mr. Alsborg continues in service with SYNNEX, the option will vest and become exercisable with respect to 20% of the option shares on the one-year anniversary of his vesting start date and with respect to the balance in 48 equal successive monthly installments upon his completion of each additional month of service thereafter. Subject to continued service as well, the restricted stock award will vest 20% each year on the anniversary of the grant. Mr. Alsborg’s employment with SYNNEX is “at will.” However, should Mr. Alsborg’s employment be terminated by SYNNEX without cause during the first year of his employment, he will receive a separation payment equal to $250,000, provided that he executes a release acceptable to SYNNEX. Mr. Alsborg will report directly to Robert T. Huang, President and Chief Executive Officer of SYNNEX. A copy of the offer letter is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and incorporated by reference herein.

Mr. Alsborg assumes the Chief Financial Officer responsibilities from Dennis Polk, who was promoted to Chief Operating Officer in July of 2006.
