The French Autorité de la Concurrence (“Competition Authority”) began in 2013 an investigation into the French market for certain products of Apple, Inc., (“Apple”) for which we are a distributor.

In March 2020, the Competition Authority imposed fines on Tech Data, on another distributor, and on Apple, finding that Tech Data entered into an anticompetitive agreement with Apple regarding volume allocations of Apple products.

The fine imposed on Tech Data was €76 million (approximately $86 million as of November 30, 2021).

We have vigorously contested the arguments of the Competition Authority, and we have appealed its determination to the French courts, seeking to set aside or reduce the fine.

Although we believe we have strong arguments on appeal, we have determined that the best estimate of probable loss related to this matter as of November 30, 2021 is €36 million (approximately $41 million as of November 30, 2021).

Under French law, the pendency of our appeal does not suspend the obligation to pay the fine.

Tech Data has agreed with French authorities to make eight equal installment payments in relation to the fine assessed for a total amount of €22.8 million on a quarterly basis from January 2021 through October 2022.

As of November 30, 2021, we have an accrual established for this matter of €24.6 million ($27.7 million as of November 30, 2021) that represents the total estimate of probable loss less installment payments made to date.

If the appeal process is not completed prior to the end of December 2022, we may be required to pay further amounts towards the full fine assessed by the Competition Authority before our appeal is finally determined.

However, any additional amounts that may need to be paid have not yet been determined.

Additionally, we have provided a third-party surety bond to the Competition Authority to guarantee the payment of the amount of the fine and interest, if applicable.

A civil lawsuit related to this matter, alleging anticompetitive actions in association with the established distribution networks for Apple, Tech Data and another distributor was filed by eBizcuss.

We are currently evaluating this matter and cannot currently estimate the probability or amount of any potential loss.
