Item 5.02

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

On June 19, 2024, at a regularly-scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of TD SYNNEX Corporation (the “Company”), the Board approved the implementation of a leadership succession plan pursuant to which, effective September 1, 2024, Patrick Zammit, the Company’s Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, will be appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Richard Hume, the Company’s current President and Chief Executive Officer, will retire from the Company. Mr. Hume’s retirement as President and Chief Executive Officer was not caused by any disagreement with the Company. Mr. Hume will remain a director on the Company’s Board. In addition, the Board determined it will expand the Board from nine to ten directors and will appoint Mr. Zammit to the Board on September 1, 2024 in connection with his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Zammit, age 57, has served as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer since January 1, 2024. Prior to this role, Mr. Zammit served as the Company’s President, Europe and APJ, since the Company’s merger with Tech Data Corporation, where he had been President, Europe following Tech Data’s acquisition of Avnet Inc.’s Technology Solutions business in February 2017. Mr. Zammit was employed for more than twenty years at Avnet. From January 2015 to January 2017, he served as Global President of Avnet Technology Solutions. Prior to that position, from October 2006 until January 2015, Mr. Zammit served as President of Avnet Electronics Marketing EMEA. From 1993 to 2006, he served in management positions of increasing responsibilities. Prior to joining Avnet, Mr. Zammit was employed by Arthur Andersen from 1989 to 1993. He holds a Masters in Business Administration equivalent from Paris Business School ESLSCA.

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Zammit and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Zammit was elected as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer effective September 1, 2024. Except as described herein, there are no existing or currently proposed transactions to which TD SYNNEX or any of its subsidiaries is a party and in which Mr. Zammit has a direct or indirect material interest. There are no family relationships between Mr. Zammit and any of the directors or officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

In connection with Mr. Zammit’s appointment, the Company entered into an offer letter with Mr. Zammit dated June 19, 2024 with an effective date of September 1, 2024 (the “Offer Letter”). Pursuant to the terms of the Offer Letter, Mr. Zammit will receive a starting base salary of $1,000,000 and will be eligible to receive an annual cash incentive bonus targeted at 2.0 times his base salary with the actual amount of the bonus based on the achievement of performance metrics established by the Compensation Committee of the Board. In addition, the Offer Letter provides that Mr. Zammit will be granted restricted stock unit awards for shares of the Company’s common stock (“RSUs”) with a fair market value of approximately $5,000,000, 60% of which will be comprised of time-based RSUs and 40% of which will be comprised of performance-based RSUs. The RSUs will be granted at the same time as annual equity grants are made to all other executive officers.

The Offer Letter also provides for certain payments to Mr. Zammit in the event of a termination without “cause” or by Mr. Zammit for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in the Offer Letter) and also in the event of a termination without “cause” or by Mr. Zammit for “good reason” in connection with a change of control of the Company. The Offer Letter contains certain restrictive covenants, including a non-competition and non-solicitation provision, for the benefit of the Company. The foregoing description of the Offer Letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Offer Letter, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Effective as of September 1, 2024

Mr. Patrick Zammit

Dear Patrick:

TD SYNNEX Corporation (the “Company”) is pleased to offer you the position of Chief Executive Officer on the following terms effective as of September 1, 2024 (the “Employment Date):

1. Position. Commencing on the Employment Date, you will hold the position of Chief Executive Officer, reporting solely to the Board of Directors (the “CEO”). As Chief Executive Officer, you will be the Company’s most senior executive officer and have the duties, responsibilities, authority and reporting relationships normally associated with such position.

During employment with the Company, your services will be provided at the Company’s location in Clearwater, Florida, or such other locations or remotely as may be agreed with the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).

Employment with the Company is for no specific period of time. Your employment with the Company will be “at will,” meaning that either you or the Company may terminate your employment at any time and for any reason, with or without cause. For all purposes, your years of service with the Company will be calculated including all continuous prior service with entities that are now subsidiaries of the Company.

During your employment with the Company, you agree to devote substantially all of your business attention and time to the business and affairs of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may (a) serve any civic, charitable, educational or professional organization; and (b) serve on the board of directors for organizations with the approval of the Board.

2. Board Membership. You will be appointed as a member of the Board, concurrent with the Employment Date. All directors are subject to annual election and to removal by the shareholders of the Company in accordance with the Company’s by-laws and Delaware law. You will be nominated for election to the Board at each annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders that occurs during your employment with the Company. Upon the Company’s written request, you agree to promptly resign as a member of the Board following any termination of your employment with the Company.

3. Cash and Performance-Based Compensation. The Company will pay you a starting base salary at the rate of $1,000,000 per year. Your base salary will be subject to annual review for possible increase by the Company’s Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee), with the first review to occur with respect to the fiscal year beginning December 1, 2025. Any increase in base salary approved pursuant to such review, if it is completed after the first day of the fiscal year, shall be made effective as determined by the Compensation Committee.

You will be eligible to receive an annual incentive bonus for each fiscal year of the Company during your employment with the Company; provided you are employed by the Company on the last day of the fiscal year. Your target bonus for each fiscal year ending during your employment will be 200% of your base salary (such amount your “Target Bonus). Your actual annual incentive bonus earned will be determined by the Compensation Committee based upon the achievement of performance metrics established by the Compensation Committee for the applicable fiscal year pursuant to the Company’s annual incentive plan. The bonus for a fiscal year will be paid within two and one-half months after the last day of the fiscal year. The determinations of the Compensation Committee with respect to your bonus will be final and binding.

4. Employee Benefits; Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Employee Benefits. As a regular employee of the Company, you will also be eligible to receive all employee benefits consistent with that provided to other senior executive officers. You should note that the Company reserves the right to modify compensation and benefits from time to time, as it deems necessary.

  (ii)

(iii)  The Company will pay for up to 4 round trip business class trips for your spouse between your home and the United States   each year.

The Company will continue to make an annual deposit in the pension funds for France in an amount not to exceed $50,000.

(b) Indemnification and Insurance.

5. Equity Compensation. You will be eligible to receive equity compensation awards for each fiscal year during your employment. Your initial equity compensation awards will be as follows:

(a) You will also be granted a restricted stock or restricted stock unit award for shares of the Company’s Common Stock (such award, the “RSUs”) pursuant to the Company’s 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”) with a fair market value at grant of approximately $5,000,000. The grant will be split 60% as time based vesting RSUs and 40% as a performance based RSU. The performance based RSU will be granted at the same time following the January 2025 Compensation Committee meeting as all other executive performance based RSU grants. The time based RSU grant will be made following the September 2024 Compensation Committee meeting as all other executive time based RSU grants are made. Your prorated RSU grant related to the COO role will also be made following the September 2024 Compensation Committee meeting. The time based RSUs and Performance Based RSUs will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to equity grants granted under the Plan and the applicable RSU grant agreement and Performance Based RSU grant agreement. The time based RSUs will be subject to vesting over the three-year period following the Vesting Date (as defined in the grant agreement), with one third of the shares vesting on each one-year anniversary of the grant date, conditioned on your continuous common law employment, as described in the applicable RSU agreement. The Performance Based RSUs will vest depending on the attainment of a three fiscal year financial target as defined in the applicable performance based RSU agreement.

The terms and conditions of your future equity awards will be determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion; provided that such equity awards shall be made at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as the annual equity compensation awards made to the Company’s other senior executive officers.

7. Conditions to Receipt of Severance and Retirement Benefits; Section 409A

(a) Release of Claims. The receipt of any severance and retirement benefits pursuant to Section 6 will be subject to your signing and not revoking a customary release of claims in a form acceptable to the Company within such period of time as the Company may require, which time period to sign the release shall be not less than 21 days following your termination of employment. The release of claims shall not impose any confidentiality or restrictive covenant provisions on you other than those set forth in this Agreement or require you to release any rights or claims to (i) any of the severance and retirement benefits pursuant to Section 6, (ii) vested benefits under any employee benefit plan, (iii) rights under any equity or equity-based awards or (iv) indemnification and insurance coverage.

(b) Noncompetition; Nonsolicitation. The receipt of any severance and retirement benefits pursuant to Section 6 will be subject to your not violating the provisions of Section 9. In the event you materially breach the provisions of Section 9, or if you elect not to comply with the terms of Section 9(a) on noncompetition or Section 9(b)(ii) on nonsolicitation of business, all continuing payments and benefits to which you would have been entitled pursuant to Section 6 will immediately cease.

(c) Section 409A. Any cash severance or retirement benefits to be paid pursuant to Section 6 or will not be paid during the six-month period following your termination of employment if the Company determines that you are a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and that such amounts are not exempt from Section 409A. In such event, the Company will pay you a lump-sum amount equal to the cumulative amounts that would have otherwise been paid to you during such six-month period on the first day following such six-month period (or, if earlier, your death). Thereafter, you will receive your cash severance payments pursuant to Section 6 in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices or retirement benefits in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreements. The provisions of this agreement which require commencement of payments or benefits subject to Section 409A upon a termination of employment shall be interpreted to require that you have a “separation from service” with the Company (as defined for purposes of Section 409A). Any series of severance payments or benefits provided under this agreement shall for all purposes of Section 409A be treated as a series of separate payments and not as a single payment. In any case where the date of your separation from service and the date by which you are required to sign the release pursuant to Section 7(a) of this agreement (including for this purpose the applicable revocation period) falls in two separate taxable years, any amount required to be paid to you that is conditioned on the effectiveness of such release and is determined by the Company not to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code shall be paid in the later taxable year.

TD SYNNEX Announces Patrick Zammit to Become CEO

~~After transformative tenure as CEO, Rich Hume to Retire~~

~~ Transition is effective September 1, 2024~~

FREMONT, Calif., & CLEARWATER, Fla. – June 20, 2024 – TD SYNNEX (NYSE: SNX), today announced that Patrick Zammit will become Chief Executive Officer, succeeding Rich Hume, who will retire after a transformative tenure as CEO. Hume will remain on the TD SYNNEX board of directors. The leadership transition is effective September 1.

“It has been the greatest privilege of my professional career to serve as CEO of TD SYNNEX. I am proud of the culture we have built, our partner-first focus and commitment to customer excellence, and the purpose-driven approach we have taken in our business,” said Hume. “In this dynamic and ever-changing technology landscape, Patrick is the right leader to build on this foundation as we continue to deliver value to our customers and vendors across the ecosystem. Under his leadership, I am confident that TD SYNNEX will reach even greater heights.”

Zammit, who has served as the company’s chief operating officer since January 2024, brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record of driving growth and operational excellence. Zammit has been instrumental in coordinating the company’s business strategy, driving profitable growth and accelerating the adoption of new, high-growth technologies around the globe. Zammit led the European region beginning in 2017, following Tech Data’s acquisition of Avnet Technology Solutions. His role expanded in 2021 to include responsibilities for the APJ region. His tenure at Avnet, which began in 1993, saw him in various management roles, culminating as Global President of the Technology Solutions division, where he served on its executive board. His earlier roles at Avnet TS included President of EMEA Electronic Marketing and European CFO.

“I am honored to succeed Rich and lead TD SYNNEX into its next chapter. I look forward to building on the strong foundation we have established and driving forward our strategy and digitization roadmap to ensure we are constantly delivering the greatest value to our co-workers, partners, vendors, and shareholders,” said Zammit. “Rich has been an outstanding leader and I look forward to continuing to work with him in his role on our board of directors.”

Hume joined what was then Tech Data in 2016 as COO, taking over as CEO in 2018. During his tenure, he has helped lead the company through a period of significant growth and transformation, including the acquisition of Avnet TS, taking the company private in partnership with Apollo Asset Management and the successful merger of Tech Data and SYNNEX.

Under his leadership, TD SYNNEX has embraced a culture of servant leadership, focusing on empowering employees, fostering an inclusive environment and building a company with a purpose that extends beyond financial success.

The Board of Directors expressed its deep gratitude to Rich Hume for his leadership and contributions to TD SYNNEX and extends its best wishes to him in his retirement.

“We are immensely grateful to Rich for his leadership. His contributions have been pivotal in shaping the company’s trajectory, and we look forward to his continued guidance on the board of directors,” said Ann Vezina, Chair of the board. “Under Patrick’s leadership, TD SYNNEX will continue to thrive and set new benchmarks in the industry. His vision aligns perfectly with our core values and strategic goals, ensuring a seamless continuation of the innovative foundation that Rich has built.”
