Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk Foreign Currency Risk We are exposed to foreign currency risk in the ordinary course of business. We manage cash flow exposures for our major countries and the foreign currency impact of assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies using a combination of forward contracts. Principal currencies hedged are the Australian dollar, Brazilian real, British pound, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, Czech koruna, Danish krone, Euro, Indian rupee, Indonesian rupiah, Japanese yen, Mexican peso, Norwegian krone, Philippine peso, Polish zloty, Singapore dollar, Swedish krona and Swiss franc. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. In order to provide an assessment of our foreign currency exchange rate risk, we performed an analysis using a value-at-risk (“VaR”) model. The VaR model uses a Monte Carlo simulation to generate 1,000 random market price paths. The VaR model determines the potential impact of the fluctuation in foreign exchange rates assuming a one-day holding period, normal market conditions and a 95% confidence level. The model is not intended to represent actual losses but is used as a risk estimation and management tool. Firm commitments, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies were excluded from the model. The estimated maximum potential one-day loss in fair value, calculated using the VaR model, would be approximately $3.8 million and $1.9 million at November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We believe that the hypothetical loss in fair value of our foreign exchange derivatives would be offset by the gains in the value of the underlying transactions being hedged. Actual future gains and losses associated with our derivative positions may differ materially from the analyses performed as of November 30, 2021, due to the inherent limitations associated with predicting the changes in foreign currency exchange rates and our actual exposures and positions. Interest Rate Risk Our exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to our outstanding debt obligations which have floated relative to major interest rate benchmarks. We are most sensitive to fluctuations in U.S. interest rates, changes which affect the costs associated with hedging and interest paid on our debt. To manage interest rate risk on the U.S. dollar-denominated floating-rate debt, we have entered into interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts of $1.5 billion and $1.6 billion as of November 30, 2021 and 2020 respectively, which effectively converted a portion of the floating rate debt to a fixed interest rate. All of our interest rate swaps as of November 30, 2021 are accounted for as cash flow hedges. A 15% variation in our interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair value of our swaps. The following tables present hypothetical interest expense (after considering the impact of the above mentioned swaps) for the years ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, arising from hypothetical parallel shifts in the respective countries’ yield curves, of plus or minus 5%, 10% and 15% related to our outstanding borrowings with variable interest rates.

Marketable equity securities include shares of common stock and are recorded at fair market value based on quoted market prices. Gains and losses on marketable equity securities are included in earnings. 46 Table of Content s Item 8.

Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of ours are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Our evaluation did not include the internal control over financial reporting of Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation, the parent company of Tech Data Corporation (“Tech Data”), which was acquired on September 1, 2021. Total assets and total revenue related to Tech Data excluded from our evaluation represented approximately 40% and 32%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). Based on this assessment, our management concludes that, as of November 30, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting was effective at the reasonable assurance level based on those criteria. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2021 has been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears on page 49 of this Report. 48 Table of Content s Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Stockholders and Board of Directors TD SYNNEX Corporation: Opinions on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TD SYNNEX Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of November 30, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended November 30, 2021, and the related notes and financial statement Schedule II - Valuation and Qualifying Accounts (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of November 30, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended November 30, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2021 based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). The Company acquired Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation during 2021, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2021, Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting associated with 40% of total assets and 32% of total revenue included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended November 30, 2021. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation. Change in Accounting Principle As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for leases as of December 1, 2019 due to the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases . Basis for Opinions The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the 49 Table of Content s maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matters communicated bel ow are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. Sufficiency of audit evidence over revenue As discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, and presented in the consolidated statements of operations, the Company reported revenue of $31,614,170 thousand for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021. We identified the evaluation of the sufficiency of audit evidence over revenue as a critical audit matter. The geographical dispersion of distribution and administrative facilities and employees providing revenue generating services required especially subjective auditor judgment in determining the nature and extent of procedures to perform and in evaluating those procedures. The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We applied auditor judgment to determine the nature and extent of procedures to be performed over revenue, including the determination of the locations at which those procedures were to be performed. For certain locations we evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the recognition of revenue. For these locations, we then tested samples of revenue transactions during the year by comparing the amounts recognized by the Company to relevant underlying documentation such as contracts, shipping documents, or other third-party evidence. For other locations we performed a software-assisted analysis to test the relationships among revenues, trade receivables and cash. For these locations we also examined a sample of executed agreements, inspected cash receipts, and re-calculated revenue recognized. We investigated a selection of journal entries that were made by the Company to adjust revenue. We evaluated the sufficiency of the audit evidence obtained over revenue by assessing the results of the procedures performed, including the appropriateness of the determination of locations to perform procedures. Fair value of acquired intangible assets As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, on September 1, 2021, the Company acquired Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation (referenced herein as Tech Data) in a business combination. As a result of the transaction, the Company acquired a customer relationships intangible asset associated with the generation of future income from Tech Data’s existing customers and a trade name intangible asset associated with the value of the Tech Data brand name. The acquisition-date fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset and the trade name intangible asset was $3,860,200 thousand and $1,073,700 thousand, respectively, which included amounts related to the Americas and Europe reportable segments. We identified the evaluation of the acquisition-date fair value measurement of the aforementioned intangible assets, specifically within the Americas and Europe reportable segments, as a critical audit matter. A high degree of subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate certain assumptions within the discounted cash flow models used to estimate the acquisition-date fair value of these customer relationships and trade name intangible assets. The discounted cash flow models included the following assumptions for which there was limited observable market information, and the estimated fair value of the related intangible assets was sensitive to possible changes to these assumptions: • revenue growth rates • customer attrition rates • discount rates. 50 Table of Content s The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s acquisition-date valuation process, including a control related to the development of market participant assumptions. We evaluated the Company’s forecasted revenue growth rates from existing Tech Data customers by comparing forecasted revenue growth assumptions to those of the Company’s peers and industry reports. We compared the Company’s estimates of forecasted revenue growth to Tech Data’s actual results to assess the Company’s ability to accurately forecast. We evaluated the relevance and reliability of the historical customer attrition rate through inquiries with Company management, reconciliation of revenue to audited financial statements and trend analysis. We compared the assumptions related to revenue growth rates and customer attrition rates to those of a market participant, including consideration of recent similar market transactions. In addition, we involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in: • evaluating the customer attrition rates by comparing them to Tech Data’s historical customer attrition data • evaluating the discount rates by (i) comparing the inputs of the weighted average cost of capital to available market data for comparable entities and (ii) evaluating the reasonableness of the inputs and assumptions associated with the weighted average return on assets by assessing the methodology used by the Company and performing an independent analysis • testing the acquisition-date fair value of the customer relationships and the trade name intangible assets using the Company’s cash flow forecast and discount rate and comparing the results to the Company’s fair value estimate. /s/ KPMG LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2012.

otherwise noted, except per share amounts) NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION: TD SYNNEX Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, herein referred to as “SYNNEX”, “TD SYNNEX” or the “Company”) is a leading global provider of a comprehensive range of distribution, systems design and integration solutions for the technology industry , headquartered in Fremont, California and Clearwater, Florida and has operations in North and South America, Europe and Asia-Pacific and Japan. On December 1, 2020 , the Company completed the previously announced separation of its customer experience services business (the “Separation”), in a tax-free transaction for federal income tax purposes, which was accomplished by the distribution of one hundred percent of the outstanding common stock of Concentrix Corporation (“Concentrix”). SYNNEX stockholders received one share of Concentrix common stock for every share of SYNNEX common stock held at the close of business on the record date. The Company distributed 51,602 shares of Concentrix common stock to its stockholders. Concentrix is now an independent public company trading under the symbol “CNXC” on the Nasdaq Stock Market. After the Separation, SYNNEX does not beneficially own any shares of Concentrix’ common stock. Beginning December 1, 2020, the Company no longer consolidates Concentrix within its financial results or reflects the financial results of Concentrix within its continuing results of operations. The financial results of Concentrix for the years ended November 30, 2020 and 2019 are presented as income from discontinued operations, net of taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and its assets and liabilities as of November 30, 2020 are presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The historical statements of comprehensive income, cash flows and the balances in stockholders' equity have not been revised to reflect the effect of the Separation. For further information on discontinued operations, see Note 5 – Discontinued Operations. Unless noted otherwise, discussion in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements pertain to continuing operations. In connection with the Separation, the Company and Concentrix have entered into a separation and distribution agreement as well as various other agreements that provide a framework for the relationships between the parties going forward, including among others an employee matters agreement, a tax matters agreement, and a commercial agreement, pursuant to which C oncentrix will continue to provide services to SYNNEX following the Separation . On March 22, 2021, SYNNEX entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) which provided that legacy SYNNEX Corporation would acquire legacy Tech Data Corporation, a Florida corporation (“Tech Data”) through a series of mergers, which would result in Tech Data becoming an indirect subsidiary of TD SYNNEX Corporation. (collectively, the "Merger"). On September 1, 2021, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of common stock of Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation, the parent corporation of Tech Data, for consideration of $ 1.61 billion in cash ($ 1.11 billion in cash after giving effect to a $ 500 million equity contribution by Tiger Parent Holdings, L.P., Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation’s sole stockholder and an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, Inc., to Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation prior to the effective time of the Merger) and 44 million shares of common stock of SYNNEX valued at approximately $ 5.61 billion. The combined company is referred to as TD SYNNEX. References to the “Company” indicate TD SYNNEX for periods after the Merger and SYNNEX for periods prior to the Merger. Certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. The Company evaluates these estimates on a regular basis and bases them on historical experience and on various assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and work force participation and created volatility and disruption of financial markets, the impact of which was most acute during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. Despite improvements in the global economy since the onset of the pandemic, the emergence of the Delta and Omicron variants and other mutations bring uncertainty to continued economic recovery. As a result, the Company cannot at this time accurately predict what effects these conditions will have on its operations and financial condition, including due to the uncertainties relating to the severity and duration of the pandemic, the effect on its customers and customer demand and the length of the restrictions and closures imposed by various governments. Consequently, many of the estimates and assumptions required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to 57 Table of Content s evolve and additional information becomes available, these estimates may change in future periods. Actual results could differ from the estimates. Principles of consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, majority-owned subsidiaries in which no substantive participating rights are held by minority stockholders and variable interest entities if the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Consolidated Financial Statements include 100 % of the assets and liabilities of majority-owned subsidiaries. Investments in 20 % through 50 % owned affiliated companies are accounted under the equity method where the Company exercises significant influence over operating and financial affairs of the investee and is not the primary beneficiary. Investments in less than 20 % owned companies, where the Company does not have significant influence, are recorded at cost or fair value based on whether the equity securities have readily determinable fair values. Segment reporting Operating segments are based on components of the Company that engage in business activity that earn revenue and incur expenses and (a) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resource allocation and performance and (b) for which discrete financial information is available. Prior to the Separation, the Company had two reportable segments: Technology Solutions and Concentrix. After giving effect to the Separation of the Concentrix segment, the Company operated with one reportable segment: Technology Solutions. After completion of the Merger, the Company reviewed its reportable segments as there was a change in its chief executive officer, who is also the Company’s chief operating decision maker. The Company’s chief operating decision maker has a leadership structure aligned with the geographic locations of the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific and Japan (“APJ”) and reviews and allocates resources based on these geographic locations. As a result, as of September 1, 2021 the Company began operating in three reportable segments based on its geographic locations: the Americas, Europe and APJ. Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity or remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist principally of money market deposit accounts and money market funds that are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by financial institutions to the extent that cash balances with financial institutions are in excess of amounts that are insured. Accounts receivable The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts as an estimate to cover the future expected credit losses resulting from uncertainty regarding collections from customers or original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) vendors to make payments for outstanding balances. In estimating the required allowance, the Company takes into consideration historical credit losses, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current conditions as well as changes in forecasted macroeconomic conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates or gross domestic product growth. Expected credit losses are estimated on a pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist using an age-based reserve model. Receivables that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. The Company has uncommitted supply-chain financing programs with global financial institutions under which trade accounts receivable of certain customers and their affiliates may be acquired, without recourse, by the financial institutions. Available capacity under these programs is dependent on the level of the Company’s trade accounts receivable with these customers and the financial institutions’ willingness to purchase such receivables. In addition, certain of these programs also require that the Company continue to service, administer and collect the sold accounts receivable. As of November 30, 2021, and 2020, accounts receivable sold to and held by the financial institutions under these programs were $ 759,884 and $ 15,572 , respectively. Discount fees related to the sale of trade accounts receivable under these facilities are included in “Interest expense and finance charges, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the fiscal years ended November 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, discount fees were $ 4,669 , $ 3,176 and $ 2,256 , respectively. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is computed based on the weighted-average method. Inventories are comprised of finished goods and work-in-process. Finished goods include products purchased for resale, system components purchased for both resale and for use in the Company’s systems design and integration business and completed systems. Work-in-process inventories are not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 58 Table of Content s Derivative Financial Instruments The Company accounts for its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities and carries them at fair value. For derivative instruments that hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that are designated as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in stockholders’ equity and reclassified into earnings in the same line associated with the hedged transactions, in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. To receive hedge accounting treatment, cash flow hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to expected future cash flows on hedged transactions. For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges, gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value on derivative instruments are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the current period. Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method based upon the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets, or the lease term of the respective assets, if applicable. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations in the period realized. The Company’s capitalized software has been obtained or developed for internal use only. Development and acquisition costs are capitalized for computer software only when management authorizes and commits to funding a computer software project through the approval of a capital expenditure requisition, and the software project is either for the development of new software, to increase the life of existing software or to add significantly to the functionality of existing software. Once these requirements have been met, capitalization would begin at the point that conceptual formulation, evaluation, design and testing of possible software project alternatives have been completed. Capitalization ceases when the software project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. The ranges of estimated useful lives for property and equipment categories are as follows: Equipment and Furniture 3 - 10 years Software 3 - 7 years Leasehold improvements 2 - 15 years Buildings and building improvements 10 - 40 years Business Combinations The purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in the acquired entity generally based on their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair value of these assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests in the acquired entity is recorded as goodwill. The primary items that generate goodwill include the value of the synergies between the acquired entity and the Company and the value of the acquired assembled workforce, neither of which qualify for recognition as an intangible asset. Amounts recorded in a business combination may change during the measurement period, which is a period not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, as additional information about conditions existing at the acquisition date becomes available. The Company includes the results of operations of the acquired business in the Consolidated Financial Statements prospectively from the date of acquisition. Acquisition-related charges are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred. These charges primarily include direct third-party professional and legal fees, and integration-related costs. Goodwill and intangible assets The values assigned to intangible assets include estimates and judgment regarding expectations for the length of customer relationships acquired in a business combination. Included within intangible assets is an indefinite lived trade names intangible asset. Indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. Other purchased intangible assets are amortized over the useful lives based on estimates of the use of the economic benefit of the asset or on the straight-line amortization method. The Company allocates goodwill to reporting units based on the reporting unit expected to benefit from the business combination and tests for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it may be impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. The factors that are considered in the qualitative analysis include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors such as 59 Table of Content s increases in product cost, labor, or other costs that would have a negative effect on earnings and cash flows; and other relevant entity-specific events and information. If the reporting unit does not pass the qualitative assessment, then the reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to its fair value. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using market and discounted cash flow approaches. The assumptions used in the market approach are based on the value of a business through an analysis of sales and other multiples of guideline companies and recent sales or offerings of a comparable entity. The assumptions used in the discounted cash flow approach are based on historical and forecasted revenue, operating costs, future economic conditions, and other relevant factors. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value and the excess is recognized as an impairment loss. No goodwill impairment has been identified for any of the years presented. Definite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships and lists, vendor lists and other intangible assets. Amortization is based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets will be consumed or on a straight-line basis when the consumption pattern is not apparent over the following useful lives: Customer relationships and lists 4 - 15 years Vendor lists 10 years Other intangible assets 1 - 10 years Impairment of long-lived assets The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets, such as definite-lived intangible assets, property and equipment and certain other assets, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate the carrying value of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of the asset or asset group from the expected future pre-tax cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges, of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such assets, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. Leases The Company enters into leases as a lessee for property and equipment in the ordinary course of business. When procuring goods or services, or upon entering into a contract with its customers, the Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease at its inception. As part of that evaluation, the Company considers whether there is an implicitly or explicitly identified asset in the arrangement and whether the Company, as the lessee, or the customer, if the Company is the lessor, has the right to control the use of that asset. Effective December 1, 2019, when the Company is the lessee, all leases with a term of more than 12 months are recognized as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and associated lease liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Lease liabilities are recorded at the lease commencement date and determined using the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, which approximates the rate at which the Company would borrow on a secured basis in the country where the lease was executed. The interest rate implicit in the lease is generally not determinable in transactions where the Company is the lessee. The ROU asset equals the lease liability adjusted for any initial direct costs, prepaid rent and lease incentives. The Company’s variable lease payments generally relate to payments tied to various indexes, non-lease components and payments above a contractual minimum fixed amount. Operating leases are included in other assets, net, other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Substantially all of the Company's leases are classified as operating leases and the Company’s finance leases are not material. The lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company made a policy election to not recognize leases with a lease term of 12 months or less in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Lease expenses are recorded within selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Operating lease payments are presented within “Cash flows from operating activities” in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Concentration of credit risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, receivables from vendors and derivative instruments. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and derivative instruments are transacted and maintained with financial institutions with high credit standing, and their compositions and maturities are regularly monitored by management. Through November 30, 2021, the Company has not experienced any material credit losses on such deposits and derivative instruments. Accounts receivable include amounts due from customers, including related party customers. Receivables from vendors, net, includes amounts due from OEM vendors primarily in the technology industry. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary, but generally requires no collateral. The Company also maintains allowances for potential credit losses. In estimating the required allowances, the Company 60 Table of Content s takes into consideration the overall quality and aging of its receivable portfolio, the existence of credit insurance and specifically identified customer and vendor risks. The Company also considers risks attributed to COVID-19 in establishing the required allowances. One customer accounted for 17 %, 23 % and 24 % of the Company’s total revenue in fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Products purchased from the Company’s largest OEM supplier, HP Inc., accounted for approximately 12 %, 15 % and 14 % of the Company’s total revenue during fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of November 30, 2021, no single customer comprised more than 10% of the consolidated accounts receivable balance. As of November 30, 2020, one customer comprised 15 % of the consolidated accounts receivable balance. Book overdrafts Book overdrafts, representing checks issued in excess of balances on deposit in the applicable bank accounts and which have not been paid by the applicable bank at the balance sheet date are classified as “Borrowings, current” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under the terms of the Company’s banking arrangements, the respective financial institutions are not legally obligated to honor the book overdraft balances. The Company’s policy is to report the change in book overdrafts as a financing activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Revenue recognition The Company generates revenue primarily from the sale of various IT products. The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of IT hardware and software as control is transferred to customers, which is at the point in time when the product is shipped or delivered. The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when it has written approval, the contract is committed, the rights of the parties, including payment terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance and consideration is probable of collection. Binding purchase orders from customers together with agreement to the Company's terms and conditions of sale by way of an executed agreement or other signed documents are considered to be the contract with a customer. Products sold by the Company are delivered via shipment from the Company’s facilities, drop-shipment directly from the vendor, or by electronic delivery of software products. In situations where arrangements include customer acceptance provisions, revenue is recognized when the Company can objectively verify the products comply with specifications underlying acceptance and the customer has control of the products. Revenue is presented net of taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities. The Company generally invoices a customer upon shipment, or in accordance with specific contractual provisions. Payments are due as per contract terms and do not contain a significant financing component. Service revenues represents less than 10 % of the total revenue for the periods presented. Provisions for sales returns and allowances are estimated based on historical data and are recorded concurrently with the recognition of revenue. A liability is recorded at the time of sale for estimated product returns based upon historical experience and an asset is recognized for the amount expected to be recorded in inventory upon product return. These provisions are reviewed and adjusted periodically by the Company. Revenue is reduced for early payment discounts and volume incentive rebates offered to customers, which are considered variable consideration, at the time of sale based on an evaluation of the contract terms and historical experience. The Company recognizes revenue on a net basis on certain contracts, where the Company’s performance obligation is to arrange for the products or services to be provided by another party or the rendering of logistics services for the delivery of inventory for which the Company does not assume the risks and rewards of ownership, by recognizing the margins earned in revenue with no associated cost of revenue. Such arrangements include supplier service contracts, post-contract software support services and extended warranty contracts. The Company considers shipping and handling activities as costs to fulfill the sale of products. Shipping revenue is included in revenue when control of the product is transferred to the customer, and the related shipping and handling costs are included in cost of revenue. The Company disaggregates its operating segment revenue by geography, which the Company believes provides a meaningful depiction of the nature of its revenue. Disaggregated revenue disclosure is presented in Note 13 – Segment Information. Cost of Revenue Cost of revenue includes the product price paid to OEM suppliers, net of any incentives, rebates, price protection and purchase discounts received from the OEM suppliers. Cost of revenue also consists of provisions for inventory losses and write-downs, shipping and handling costs and royalties due to OEM vendors. In addition, cost of revenue includes the cost of materials, labor and overhead and warranty for design and integration activities. 61 Table of Content s Selling, General and Administrative expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses are charged to income as incurred. Expenses of promoting and selling products and services are classified as selling expense and include such items as compensation, sales commissions and travel. General and administrative expenses include such items as compensation, cost of warehouse, delivery centers and other non-integration facilities, legal and professional costs, office supplies, non-income taxes, insurance and utility expenses. In addition, selling, general and administrative expenses include other operating items such as allowances for credit losses, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets. OEM supplier programs Funds received from OEM suppliers for volume promotion programs, price protection and product rebates are recorded as adjustments to cost of revenue and/or the carrying value of inventories, as appropriate. Where there is a binding agreement, the Company tracks vendor promotional programs for volume discounts on a program-by-program basis and records them as a reduction to cost of revenue based on a systematic and rational allocation. The Company monitors the balances of vendor receivables on a quarterly basis and adjusts the balances due for differences between expected and actual sales volume. Vendor receivables are generally collected through reductions authorized by the vendor to accounts payable. Funds received for specific marketing and infrastructure reimbursements, net of related costs, are recorded as adjustments to “Selling, general and administrative expenses,” and any excess reimbursement amount is recorded as an adjustment to cost of revenue. Royalties The Company’s software product purchases include products licensed from OEM vendors, which are subsequently distributed to resellers. Royalties to OEM vendors are accrued and recorded in cost of revenue when software products are shipped and revenue is recognized. Warranties The Company’s OEM suppliers generally warrant the products distributed by the Company and allow returns of defective products. The Company generally does not independently warrant the products it distributes; however, the Company does warrant the following: (1) products that it builds to order from components purchased from other sources, (2) services with regard to products integrated for its customers; and (3) products sold in countries where the Company is responsible for defective product as a matter of law. The time period required by law in certain countries exceeds the warranty period provided by the manufacturer. The Company is obligated to provide warranty protection for sales of certain IT products within the European Union (“EU”) for up to two years as required under the EU directive where vendors have not affirmatively agreed to provide pass-through protection. Warranty expense and the accrual for warranty costs were not material to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for any of the periods presented. Advertising Costs related to advertising and product promotion expenditures are charged to “Selling, general and administrative expenses” as incurred and are primarily offset by OEM marketing reimbursements. Net costs related to advertising and promotion expenditures were not material to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for any of the periods presented. Income taxes The asset and liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the difference is expected to reverse. Tax on global low-taxed intangible income is accounted for as a current expense in the period in which the income is includable in a tax return using the “period cost” method. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets that are not likely to be realized. The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if that tax position is more likely than not to be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. Foreign currency translations The financial statements of the Company’s international subsidiaries whose functional currencies are the local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars for consolidation as follows: assets and liabilities at the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity at the historical rates of exchange, and income and expense amounts at the average exchange rate for the month. Translation adjustments resulting from the translation of the subsidiaries’ accounts are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive 62 Table of Content s income (loss)” in stockholders’ equity. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the applicable functional currency are converted to the functional currency at the exchange rate on the transaction date. At period end, monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured to the functional currency using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in earnings within “Cost of revenue” and “Other income (expense), net.” Comprehensive income Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The primary components of comprehensive income for the Company include net income, foreign currency translation adjustments arising from the consolidation of the Company’s international subsidiaries and unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges. Share-based compensation The Company accounts for share-based payment transactions in which the Company receives services in exchange for equity instruments of the Company. Share-based compensation cost for stock options, restricted stock awards and units, performance-based restricted stock units and employee stock purchase plans is determined based on the fair value at the measurement date. The Company recognizes share-based compensation cost as expense for awards other than its performance-based restricted stock units ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company recognizes share-based compensation cost associated with its performance-based restricted stock units over the requisite service period if it is probable that the performance conditions will be satisfied. The Company accounts for expense reductions that result from the forfeiture of unvested awards in the period that the forfeitures occur. Earnings per common share Earnings per share is calculated using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation proportional to the respective ownership among holders of common stock and participating securities. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company’s common stockholders by the weighted-average of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share also considers the dilutive effect of in-the-money stock options and restricted stock units, calculated using the treasury stock method. Treasury Stock Repurchases of shares of common stock are accounted for at cost, which includes brokerage fees, and are included as a component of stockholders’ equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not have a material impact on previously reported amounts. Recently adopted accounting pronouncements In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance to add, remove, and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The amendment requires the Company to disclose the weighted-average interest crediting rates used in cash balance pension plans. It also requires the Company to disclose the reasons for significant changes in the benefit obligation or plan assets including significant gains and losses affecting the benefit obligation for the period. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance to improve the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures by removing or modifying certain disclosure requirements and adding other requirements. Certain amendments should be applied prospectively, while all other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. This guidance was applicable to the Company at the beginning of fiscal year 2021 and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued a new credit loss standard to replace the incurred loss impairment methodology. The new impairment model requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur for most financial assets and certain other instruments. This new standard is to be adopted by way of a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first effective reporting period. This guidance was applicable to the Company at the beginning of fiscal year 2021 and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Recently issued accounting pronouncements In October 2021, the FASB issued new guidance which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, “ Revenue from 63 Table of Content s Contracts with Customers. ” Generally, this new guidance will result in the acquirer recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at the same amounts recorded by the acquiree. Historically, such amounts were recognized by the acquirer at fair value in acquisition accounting. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years (the fiscal quarter ending February 28, 2023 for the Company), and should be applied prospectively to acquisitions occurring on or after the effective date. Early ad option is permitted. The Company has not yet adopted this standard and will evaluate the impact of the new standard on future acquisitions. In March 2020, the FASB issued optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for or recognizing the effects of reference rate reform, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) on financial reporting. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments are elective and are effective upon issuance for all entities through December 31, 2022. The Company does not currently expect any material impacts from the adoption of this new guidance. In December 2019, the FASB issued new guidance that simplifies the accounting for income taxes. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those reporting periods. Certain amendments should be applied prospectively, while other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company does not currently expect any material impacts from the adoption of this new guidance. NOTE 3—ACQUISITIONS: Tech Data Merger On September 1, 2021, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of common stock of Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation, the parent corporation of Tech Data, for an aggregate purchase price of $ 7.22 billion, comprised of $ 1.61 billion in cash ($ 1.11 billion in cash after giving effect to a $ 500 million equity contribution by Tiger Parent Holdings, L.P., Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation’s sole stockholder and an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, Inc., to Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation prior to the effective time of the Merger) and 44 million shares of common stock of SYNNEX, valued at approximately $ 5.61 billion based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on September 1, 2021. The Merger created a leading global distributor and solutions aggregator for the IT ecosystem. The Company used the net proceeds from the issuance of new Senior Notes, borrowings under its new credit agreement and cash on hand to fund the above payments. Additionally, the Company repaid the majority of Tech Data's outstanding debt after the Merger, including approximately $ 2.4 billion outstanding under Tech Data’s existing Asset-Based Credit Agreement and approximately $ 0.2 billion of outstanding Tech Data Senior Notes. The Company has accounted for the Merger as a business combination and allocated the purchase price to the estimated fair values of Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As the Merger occurred during the fourth quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, the Company has not yet completed its evaluation and determination of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed, primarily (i) the final assessment and valuation of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including accounts receivable, receivables from vendors, inventory, accrued expenses and other liabilities and (ii) the final assessment and valuation of certain income tax amounts . Therefore, the final fair values of the assets and liabilities may vary from the Company's preliminary estimates. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is as follows: 64 Table of Content s Purchase price allocation: Fair Value Cash and cash equivalents $ 702,907 Accounts receivable, net 5,150,725 Receivables from vendors, net 730,639 Inventories 2,993,239 Other current assets 394,101 Property and equipment 347,532 Goodwill 3,544,585 Intangible assets 4,933,900 Other assets 474,000 Total assets 19,271,628 Borrowings, current 493,076 Accounts payable 6,611,817 Other accrued liabilities 1,246,415 Long-term borrowings 2,218,672 Other long-term liabilities 416,229 Deferred tax liabilities 1,061,019 Total liabilities 12,047,228 Purchase consideration $ 7,224,400 The allocation of the value of identifiable intangible assets is as follows: Fair value Weighted average useful life Customer relationships $ 3,860,200 14 years Trade name 1,073,700 Indefinite lived Total intangibles acquired $ 4,933,900 Goodwill is the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and primarily represents future economic benefits arising from assets acquired that are not individually identified and separately recognized, including synergies inherent in the acquired business, of which approximately $ 500 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes . Included within the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations are estimated revenues for the year ended November 30, 2021, of approximately $ 10.0 billion from Tech Data subsequent to the acquisition date of September 1, 2021. As the Company began integrating certain sales and other functions after the closing of the acquisition, these amounts represent an estimate of the Tech Data revenues for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021. It is not necessarily indicative of how the Tech Data operations would have performed on a stand-alone basis. As a result of certain integration activities subsequent to the date of acquisition, it is impracticable to disclose net income from Tech Data for the period subsequent to the acquisition date. The following table presents unaudited supplemental pro forma information as if the Merger had occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2020, after giving effect to certain adjustments related to the transaction. The pro forma results exclude any benefits that may result from potential cost savings and certain non-recurring costs.

NOTE 6—SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION: Overview of stock incentive plans The Company’s stock incentive plans include plans adopted in 2020, 2013 and 2003 (the “TD SYNNEX Plan(s)”). The TD SYNNEX Plans, as amended, provide for the direct award or sale of shares of common stock, restricted stock awards, and restricted stock units, the grant of options to purchase shares of common stock and the award of stock appreciation rights to employees and non-employee directors and consultants. The number of authorized shares under the 2020 TD SYNNEX Plan will not exceed the sum of 2,493 shares of common stock, plus any shares under the amended and restated 2013 and 2003 TD SYNNEX Plans that are subject to outstanding awards granted to the extent those awards expire, terminate or are canceled for any reason prior to exercise without the issuance or delivery of such shares, any shares subject to vesting restrictions that are subsequently forfeited, and any reserved shares not issued or subject to outstanding awards, up to 3,950 shares, which was due to antidilution provisions in the 2020 TD SYNNEX Plan increased by 2,621 shares following the Separation. No further grants may be made under the 2013 or 2003 TD SYNNEX Plans and a ll outstanding awards under the 2013 and 2003 Plans continue to be governed by their existing terms. As of November 30, 2021, there were 4,555 shares of common stock available for future grants. Under the Plans, qualified employees are eligible for the grant of incentive stock options to purchase shares of common stock. Qualified employees and outside directors and consultants are eligible for the grant of non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock grants and restricted stock units. The outstanding restricted stock awards and units generally vest one fifth ratably over a five-year period, with certain awards subject to other vesting periods as defined per the grant agreement. Certain restricted stock units vest subject to the achievement of individual, divisional or company-wide performance goals. The majority of the performance-based restricted stock units vest at the end of three-year requisite service periods, subject to the achievement of company-wide financial performance goals approved by the Compensation Committee. The exercise price for incentive stock options will not be less than 100 % of the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant and the stock options have a contractual term of ten years. The majority of outstanding stock options vest as to one fifth of the stock underlying the stock options on the first anniversary date of the grant and the remaining vest monthly over a four-year period starting one month after the first anniversary of the date of grant . Restricted stock granted to qualified non-employee directors vests one fourth on a quarterly basis over a one-year period. The holders of restricted stock awards are entitled to the same voting, dividend and other rights as the Company’s common stockholders. Unless terminated sooner, the 2020 TD SYNNEX Plan will terminate on March 17, 2030. 68 Table of Content s The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units and employee stock purchase rights, based on estimated fair values. The Company recorded share-based compensation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019 as follows: Fiscal Years Ended November 30, 2021 2020 2019 Total share-based compensation $ 53,192 $ 17,631 $ 17,608 Tax benefit recorded in the provision for income taxes ( 12,145 ) ( 4,355 ) ( 4,367 ) Effect on net income $ 41,047 $ 13,276 $ 13,241 Substantially all of the share-based compensation expense was recorded in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” and “Acquisition, integration and restructuring costs” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Valuation Assumptions The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards on the measurement date and recognizes as expense over the requisite service period in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of stock options. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of short-lived exchange traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option-pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the option’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock. The expected stock price volatility assumption was determined using historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of stock awards is determined based on the stock price at the date of grant. For grants that do not accrue dividends or dividend equivalents, the fair value is the stock price reduced by the present value of estimated dividends over the vesting period. For performance-based restricted stock units, the grant-date fair value assumes that the targeted performance goals will be achieved. Over the performance period, the number of awards will be adjusted higher or lower based on the probability of achievement of performance goals. The Company accounts for expense reductions that result from the forfeiture of unvested awards in the period that the forfeitures occur. Employee Stock Options A summary of the changes in the Company’s stock options is set forth below: Options Outstanding Number of shares Weighted- average exercise price per share Balances, November 30, 2020 684 $ 47.08 Options granted 239 100.45 Options exercised ( 234 ) 45.08 Balances, November 30, 2021 689 $ 66.29 The Company did no t grant any options during the fiscal year 2020. The following assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes valuation model in fiscal years 2021 and 2019: Fiscal Years Ended November 30, 2021 2019 Expected life (years) 5.5 - 6.1 6.0 - 6.1 Risk free interest rate 0.72% - 1.16% 1.59% - 2.62% Expected volatility 38.01% - 38.85% 32.33% - 33.69% Dividend yield 0.75% - 0.88% 1.36% - 1.54% The weighted-average grant-date fair values of the stock options granted during fiscal years 2021 and 2019 were $ 34.37 , and $ 32.76 , respectively. As of November 30, 2021, 689 options were outstanding with a weighted-average life of 7.45 years, a weighted-average exercise price of $ 66.29 per option and an aggregate pre-tax intrinsic value of $ 26,149 . As of November 30, 2021, 316 69 Table of Content s options were vested and exercisable with a weighted-average life of 6.07 years , a weighted-average exercise price of $ 50.35 per share and an aggregate pre-tax intrinsic value of $ 16,786 . The cash received from the exercise of options and the intrinsic values of options exercised during fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019 were as follows: Fiscal Years Ended November 30, 2021 2020 2019 Intrinsic value of options exercised $ 16,163 $ 15,746 $ 3,782 Cash received from exercise of options $ 10,541 $ 9,018 $ 1,908 The Company settles employee stock option exercises with newly issued common shares. As of November 30, 2021, the unamortized share-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options under the TD SYNNEX Plans was $ 7,433 which will be recognized over an estimated weighted-average amortization period of 3.77 years. Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units A summary of the changes in the Company’s non-vested restricted stock awards and stock units during fiscal year 2021 is presented below: Number of shares Weighted-average, grant-date fair value per share Non-vested as of November 30, 2020 824 $ 101.94 Awards granted 537 100.04 Units granted 147 96.29 Awards and units vested ( 274 ) 107.38 Awards and units cancelled/forfeited (1) ( 168 ) 85.82 Non-vested as of November 30, 2021 1,066 $ 100.20 (1) For performanc e-based restricted stock units, the difference between maximum awards and the actual number of shares issued upon full vesting is included. As of November 30, 2021, there was $ 54,382 of total unamortized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock awards and stock units granted under the TD SYNNEX Plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over an estimated weighted-average amortization period of 2.79 years. In connection with the Separation, as required by the TD SYNNEX stock incentive plans, the Company made certain adjustments to outstanding employee equity awards with the intention of preserving the intrinsic value of the awards prior to the Separation. In accordance with the employee matters agreement, each exercisable and non-exercisable stock option and unvested restricted stock award was modified into similar awards of both SYNNEX and Concentrix and the exercise price of outstanding stock options was adjusted to preserve the intrinsic value of the awards. Certain restricted stock units and performance-contingent awards were modified to provide the holders restricted stock units and performance contingent awards in the company that employs such employee following the Separation. When settled wholly in the employer’s shares, the ratio was based on the closing stock price of SYNNEX at November 30, 2020 compared to the opening stock price of the respective entity on December 1, 2020. The options strike prices were adjusted in the same manner. The modification of these awards did not result in material incremental compensation cost. Tech Data Equity Awards Prior to the Merger, certain of Tech Data’s employees were granted performance-based equity awards in Tiger Parent Holdings L.P., a partnership entity that was the parent company of Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation and Tech Data, that were unvested at the time of the closing of the Merger. Upon closing of the Merger, the unvested performance-based equity awards were converted into 751 restricted stock units of TD SYNNEX that vest over two years . The restricted stock units had a fair value of $ 127.60 per share upon closing of the Merger resulting in a total fair value of $ 95,871 which will be recorded as share-based compensation expense on a straight-line over the vesting period in “Acquisition, integration, and restructuring costs” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. No awards were vested or forfeited during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021. As of November 30, 2021, there was $ 83,887 of total unamortized share-based compensation expense related to these unvested awards to be recognized over a weighted-average amortization period of 1.75 years. 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan On January 6, 2014, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2014 ESPP”) to succeed the Company's 2003 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The 2014 ESPP, as amended, commenced on January 1, 2015 with 750 authorized shares, which was due to antidilution provisions in the 2014 ESPP increased by 537 authorized shares following the Separation. Under the 2014 ESPP, there are four offering periods of three months each in a calendar year. Eligible employees in the United States can choose to have a fixed percentage deducted from their bi-weekly compensation to purchase the Company’s common stock at a discount of 5 %. The maximum number of shares a participant may purchase is 0.625 during a single accumulation period subject to a maximum purchase limit of $ 10 in a calendar year. Highly compensated employees are not eligible to participate in the plan. 70 Table of Content s Share-based compensation expense related to the 2014 ESPP was immaterial during fiscal years 2021 , 2020 and 2019. NOTE 7—STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY: Share Repurchase Programs In June 2020, the Board of Directors authorized a three-year $ 400,000 share repurchase program, effective July 1, 2020, pursuant to which the Company may repurchase its outstanding common stock from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. As of November 30, 2021, the Company had no t repurchased any shares under this program. Dividends The Company declared cumulative cash dividends of $ 0.80 , $ 0.40 and $ 1.50 per share during the years ended November 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Reclassifications of amortization of actuarial (gains) losses of defined benefits plans is recorded in "Other income (expense), net" in the combined statement of operations. Foreign currency translation adjustment and other, net of taxes, is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on Concentrix’ available -for-sale debt securities prior to the Separation . 73 Table of Content s NOTE 9—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS: In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, equity risk, commodity price changes and credit risk. The Company enters into transactions, and owns monetary assets and liabilities, that are denominated in currencies other than the legal entity’s functional currency. The Company may enter into forward contracts, option contracts, swaps, or other derivative instruments to offset a portion of the risk on expected future cash flows, earnings, net investments in certain international subsidiaries and certain existing assets and liabilities. However, the Company may choose not to hedge certain exposures for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, accounting considerations and the prohibitive economic cost of hedging particular exposures. There can be no assurance the hedges will offset more than a portion of the financial impact resulting from movements in foreign currency exchange or interest rates. Generally, the Company does not use derivative instruments to cover equity risk and credit risk. The Company’s hedging program is not used for trading or speculative purposes. All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, or as a component of AOCI in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, as discussed below. Cash Flow Hedges The Company uses interest rate swap derivative contracts to economically convert a portion of its variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. The swaps have maturities at various dates through October 2023 . The Company terminated interest rate swaps with a notional value of $ 400,000 in December 2021. Gains and losses on cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Deferred gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges of interest payments are recognized in Interest expense and finance charges, net in the same period as the related expense is recognized. Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges must be de-designated as hedges when it is probable the forecasted hedged transaction will not occur in the initially identified time period or within a subsequent two-month time period. Deferred gains and losses in AOCI associated with such derivative instruments are reclassified into earnings in the period of de-designation. Any subsequent changes in fair value of such derivative instruments are recorded in earnings unless they are re-designated as hedges of other transactions. Non-Designated Derivatives The Company uses short-term forward contracts to offset the foreign exchange risk of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective entities. These contracts, which are not designated as hedging instruments, mature or settle within twelve months . Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments are adjusted to fair value through earnings in the financial statement line item to which the derivative relates. Fair Values of Derivative Instruments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments are disclosed in Note 10 - Fair Value Measurements and summarized in the table below: Value as of Balance Sheet Line Item November 30, 2021 November 30, 2020 Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange forward contracts (notional value) $ 1,217,595 $ 274,181 Other current assets 13,764 209 Other accrued liabilities 2,992 3,232 Interest rate swap (notional value) $ - $ 100,000 Other assets, net - - Other accrued liabilities - 128 Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges: Interest rate swaps (notional value) $ 1,500,000 $ 1,500,000 Other accrued liabilities 38,670 115,598 Other long-term liabilities 24,151 - Volume of activity The notional amounts of foreign exchange forward contracts represent the gross amounts of foreign currency, including, principally, the Australian dollar, Brazilian real, British pound, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, Czech koruna, Danish krone, Euro, Indian rupee, Indonesian rupiah, Japanese yen, Mexican peso, Norwegian krone, Philippine peso, Polish zloty, Singapore dollar, Swedish krona and Swiss franc that will be bought or sold at maturity. The notional amounts for outstanding derivative instruments provide one measure of the transaction volume outstanding and do not represent the amount of the Company’s exposure to credit or market loss. The Company’s exposure to credit loss and market risk will vary over time as currency and interest rates change. 74 Table of Content s The Effect of Derivative Instruments on AOCI and the Consolidated Statements of Operations The following table shows the gains and losses, before taxes, of the Company's derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”), and not designated as hedging instruments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods presented: Location of Gains (losses) For the fiscal years ended November 30, in Income 2021 2020 2019 Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges: Gains (losses) recognized in OCI on interest rate swaps $ 10,902 $ ( 66,372 ) $ ( 88,569 ) Gains (losses) on interest rate swaps reclassified from AOCI into income Interest expense and finance charges, net $ ( 42,115 ) $ ( 34,443 ) $ ( 8,455 ) Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments: Gains (losses) recognized from foreign exchange forward contracts, net (1) Cost of products sold $ 18,073 $ - $ - Gains (losses) recognized from foreign exchange forward contracts, net (1) Other income (expense), net ( 6,878 ) 1,844 ( 588 ) Gains (losses) recognized from interest rate swaps, net Interest expense and finance charges, net 128 ( 643 ) ( 3,004 ) Total $ 11,323 $ 1,201 $ ( 3,592 ) ( 1 ) The gains and losses largely offset the currency gains and losses that resulted from changes in the assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies. There were no material gain or loss amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness. Existing net losses in AOCI that are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the normal course of business within the next twelve months are $ 38,670 . Credit exposure for derivative financial instruments is limited to the amounts, if any, by which the counterparties’ obligations under the contracts exceed the Company’s obligations to the counterparties. The Company manages the potential risk of credit losses through careful evaluation of counterparty credit standing and selection of counterparties from a limited group of financial institutions. NOTE 10—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS: The Company’s fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). 75 Table of Content s The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company’s investments and financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis: As of November 30, 2021 As of November 30, 2020 Fair value measurement category Fair value measurement category Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Cash equivalents $ 713 $ 713 $ — $ — $ 7,915 $ 7,915 $ — $ — Marketable equity securities 2,418 2,418 — — 3,050 3,050 — — Forward foreign currency exchange contracts 13,764 — 13,764 — 209 — 209 — Interest rate swaps — — — — — — — — Liabilities: Forward foreign currency exchange contracts $ 2,992 $ — $ 2,992 $ — $ 3,232 $ — $ 3,232 $ — Interest rate swaps 62,821 — 62,821 — 115,726 — 115,726 — The Company’s cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments in money market funds and term deposits with maturity periods of three months or less. The carrying values of cash equivalents approximate fair value since they are near their maturity. Investments in marketable equity securities, primarily comprising investments in other companies’ equity securities, are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. The fair values of forward exchange contracts are measured based on the foreign currency spot and forward rates quoted by the banks or foreign currency dealers. Fair values of long-term foreign currency exchange contracts are measured using valuations based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and are valued by reference to similar financial instruments, adjusted for terms specific to the contracts. Fair values of interest rate swaps are measured using standard valuation models using inputs that are readily available in public markets, or can be derived from observable market transactions, including LIBOR spot and forward rates. The effect of nonperformance risk on the fair value of derivative instruments was not material as of November 30, 2021 and 2020. The carrying values of accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximate fair value due to their short maturities and interest rates which are variable in nature. The carrying value of the Company’s term loans approximate their fair value since they bear interest rates that are similar to existing market rates. The estimated fair value of the Senior Notes was approximately $ 2,449,277 at November 30, 2021. During the fiscal years ended November 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, there were no transfers between the fair value measurement category levels. NOTE 11—BORROWINGS: Borrowings consist of the following: As of November 30, 2021 2020 Committed and uncommitted revolving credit facilities and borrowings $ 106,256 $ 57,870 Current portion of TD SYNNEX credit agreement 75,000 — Current portion of other long-term debt — 67,088 Borrowings, current $ 181,256 $ 124,958 TD SYNNEX credit agreement $ 1,425,000 $ - TD SYNNEX Senior Notes 2,500,000 — SYNNEX United States credit agreement - term loan component — 500,000 SYNNEX United States term loan credit agreement — 1,000,000 Other credit agreements and long-term debt 72,258 85 Long-term borrowings, before unamortized debt discount and issuance costs $ 3,997,258 $ 1,500,085 Less: unamortized debt discount and issuance costs ( 42,082 ) ( 3,385 ) Long-term borrowings $ 3,955,176 $ 1,496,700 76 Table of Content s TD SYNNEX United States accounts receivable securitization arrangement In the United States, the Company has an accounts receivable securitization program to provide additional capital for its operations (the “U.S. AR Arrangement”). U nder the terms of the U.S. AR Arrangement, that, prior to the December 2021 amendment described below, was scheduled to expire in May 2022 , the Company’s subsidiary that is the borrower under this facility could borrow up to a maximum of $ 650,000 based upon eligible trade accounts receivable. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021, the effective borrowing cost under the U.S. AR Arrangement was a blended rate based upon the composition of the lenders, that includes prevailing dealer commercial paper rates and a rate based upon LIBOR. In addition, a program fee payable on the used portion of the lenders’ commitment, accrued at 1.25 % per annum in the case of lender groups who funded their advances based on prevailing commercial paper rates, and 1.30 % per annum in the case of lender groups who funded their advances based on LIBOR (subject to a 0.50 % per annum floor). A facility fee was payable on the adjusted commitment of the lenders, to accrue at different tiers ranging between 0.35 % per annum and 0.45 % per annum depending on the amount of outstanding advances from time to time. Under the terms of the U.S. AR Arrangement, the Company and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries sell, on a revolving basis, their receivables to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. The borrowings are funded by pledging all of the rights, title and interest in the receivables acquired by the Company's bankruptcy-remote subsidiary as security. Any amounts received under the U.S. AR Arrangement are recorded as debt on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. On December 22, 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries that are party to the U.S. AR Arrangement amended the U.S. AR Arrangement to extend the maturity date to December 2024 and increase the lending commitment to $ 1,500,000 . Further, the effective borrowing cost under the U.S. AR Arrangement was also modified through adjustments to the (i) program fee payable on the used portion of the lenders’ commitment, that now accrues at 0.75 % per annum and (ii) facility fee payable on the adjusted commitment of the lenders, that now accrues at different tiers ranging between 0.30 % per annum and 0.40 % per annum depending on the amount of outstanding advances from time to time. SYNNEX United States credit agreement Prior to the Merger, in the United States, the Company had a senior secured credit agreement (as amended, the "U.S. Credit Agreement") with a group of financial institutions. The U.S. Credit Agreement included a $ 600,000 commitment for a revolving credit facility and a term loan in the original principal amount of $ 1,200,000 . Interest on borrowings under the U.S. Credit Agreement was based on LIBOR or a base rate at the Company's option, plus a margin. The margin for LIBOR loans ranged from 1.25 % to 2.00 % and the margin for base rate loans ranged from 0.25 % to 1.00 %, provided that LIBOR was not less than zero . The base rate was a variable rate which was the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate, plus a margin of 0.5 %, (b) the rate of interest announced, from time to time, by the agent, Bank of America, N.A., as its “prime rate,” and (c) the Eurodollar Rate, plus 1.0 %. The unused revolving credit facility commitment fee ranged from 0.175 % to 0.30 % per annum. The margins above the applicable interest rates and the revolving commitment fee for revolving loans were based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, as calculated under the U.S. Credit Agreement. The Company’s obligations under the U.S. Credit Agreement were secured by substantially all of the parent company’s and its United States domestic subsidiaries’ assets on a pari passu basis with the interests of the lenders under the U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement (defined below) pursuant to an intercreditor agreement and were guaranteed by certain of the Company's United States domestic subsidiaries. The U.S. Credit Agreement was originally scheduled to mature in September 2022 , however the U.S. Credit Agreement was terminated on September 1, 2021 and all outstanding balances were repaid in full as part of the Merger (see Note 3 – Acquisitions for further discussion). SYNNEX United States term loan credit agreement Prior to the Merger, in the United States the Company had a senior secured term loan credit agreement (the “U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement”) with a group of financial institutions in the original principal amount of $ 1,800,000 . The remaining outstanding principal was payable on maturity. Interest on borrowings under the U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement were based on LIBOR or a base rate at the Company’s option, plus a margin. The margin for LIBOR loans ranged from 1.25 % to 1.75 % and the margin for base rate loans ranged from 0.25 % to 0.75 %, provided that LIBOR was not less than zero . The base rate was a variable rate which was the highest of (a) 0.5 % plus the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day and (y) the overnight bank funding rate in effect on such day, (b) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0 % per annum, and (c) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” in the U.S. During the period in which the term loans were available to be drawn, the Company paid term loan commitment fees. The margins above the Company's applicable interest rates and the term loan commitment fee were based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio as calculated under the U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement. The Company's obligations under the U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement were secured by substantially all of the Company’s and certain of its domestic subsidiaries’ assets on a pari passu basis with the interests of the lenders under the U.S. Credit Agreement pursuant to an intercreditor agreement, and were guaranteed by certain of its domestic subsidiaries. The U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement was originally scheduled to mature in October 2023 , however the U.S. Term Loan Credit Agreement was terminated on September 1, 2021 and all outstanding balances were repaid in full as part of the Merger (see Note 3 – Acquisitions for further discussion). 77 Table of Content s TD SYNNEX credit agreement In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into a credit agreement, dated as of April 16, 2021 (the “TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as agent, pursuant to which the Company received commitments for the extension of a senior unsecured revolving credit facility not to exceed an aggregate principal amount of $ 3,500,000 , which revolving credit facility (the “TD SYNNEX revolving credit facility”) may, at the request of the Company but subject to the lenders’ discretion, potentially be increased by up to an aggregate amount of $ 500,000 . The TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement also includes a senior unsecured term loan (the “TD SYNNEX term loan” and, together with the TD SYNNEX revolving credit facility, the “TD SYNNEX credit facilities”) in an aggregate principal amount of $ 1,500,000 , that was fully funded in connection with the closing of the Merger. The borrower under the TD SYNNEX credit facilities is the Company. There are no guarantors of the TD SYNNEX credit facilities. The maturity of the TD SYNNEX credit facilities is on the fifth anniversary of the September 2021 closing date, to occur in September 2026, subject in the case of the revolving credit facility, to two one-year extensions upon the Company’s prior notice to the lenders and the agreement of the lenders to extend such maturity date. The outstanding principal amount of the TD SYNNEX term loan is payable in quarterly installments in an amount equal to 1.25% of the original $1,500,000 principal balance commencing on the last day of the first full fiscal quarter after the closing date of the TD SYNNEX credit facilities, with the outstanding principal amount of the term loans due in full on the maturity date. Loans borrowed under the TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement bear interest, in the case of LIBOR (or successor) rate loans, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable LIBOR (or successor) rate, plus the applicable margin, which may range from 1.125 % to 1.75 %, based on the Company’s public debt rating (as defined in the TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement). The applicable margin on base rate loans is 1.00 % less than the corresponding margin on LIBOR (or successor rate) based loans. In addition to these borrowing rates, there is a commitment fee that ranges from 0.125 % to 0.300 % on any unused commitment under the TD SYNNEX revolving credit facility based on the Company’s public debt rating. As of November 30, 2021, the effective interest rate for the term loan was 1.49 %. The TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement contains various loan covenants that are customary for similar facilities for similarly rated borrowers that restricts the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to take certain actions. The TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require compliance with a maximum debt to EBITDA ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio, in each case tested on the last day of each fiscal quarter commencing with the first full fiscal quarter to occur after the closing date of the TD SYNNEX credit facilities. The TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement also contains various customary events of default, including with respect to a change of control of the Company. On March 22, 2021, the Company had entered into a debt commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”), under which Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and certain other financing institutions joining thereto pursuant to the terms thereof committed to provide (i) a $ 1.5 billion senior unsecured term bridge facility (the "Term Loan A Bridge Facility"), (ii) a $ 2.5 billion senior unsecured term bridge facility (the “Bridge Facility”) and (iii) a $ 3.5 billion senior unsecured revolving bridge facility (the "Bridge Revolving Facility"), subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. On April 16, 2021, (i) the $ 1.5 billion commitment with respect to the Term Loan A Bridge Facility under the Commitment Letter and (ii) the $ 3.5 billion commitment with respect to the Bridge Revolving Facility under the Commitment Letter were reduced to zero , in each case, as a result of the Company entering into the TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement; and on August 9, 2021 the Bridge Facility was reduced to zero as a result of the issuance of the TD SYNNEX Senior Notes described below. TD SYNNEX Senior Notes On August 9, 2021, the Company completed its offering of $ 2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes, consisting of $ 700.0 million of 1.25 % senior notes due August 9, 2024 , $ 700.0 million of 1.75 % senior notes due August 9, 2026 , $ 600.0 million of 2.375 % senior notes due August 9, 2028 , and $ 500.0 million of 2.65 % senior notes due August 9, 2031 (collectively, the “Senior Notes,” and such offering, the “Senior Notes Offering”). The Company incurred $ 19.6 million towards issuance costs on the Senior Notes. The Company will pay interest semi-annually on the notes on each of February 9 and August 9, beginning February 9, 2022. The net proceeds from this offering were used to fund a portion of the aggregate cash consideration payable in connection with the Merger, refinance certain of the Company’s existing indebtedness and pay related fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes. The interest rate payable on each series of the Senior Notes will be subject to adjustment from time to time if the credit rating assigned to such series of Senior Notes is downgraded (or downgraded and subsequently upgraded). The Company may redeem the Senior Notes, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, prior to (i) August 9, 2022 (the “2024 Par Call Date”) in the case of the 2024 Senior Notes, (ii) July 9, 2026 (the “2026 Par Call Date”) in the case of the 2026 Senior Notes, (iii) June 9, 2028 (the “2028 Par Call Date”) in the case of the 2028 Senior Notes, and (iv) May 9, 2031 in the case of the 2031 Senior Notes (the “2031 Par Call Date” and, together with the 2024 Par Call Date, the 2026 Par Call Date and the 2028 Par Call Date, each, a “Par Call Date” and together, the “Par Call Dates”), at a redemption price equal to the greater of (x) 100 % of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Senior Notes to be redeemed and (y) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of the principal and interest on the Senior Notes, discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable treasury rate plus 15 basis points for the 2024 Senior Notes, 20 basis points for the 2026 Senior Notes and 25 basis points for the 2028 Senior Notes and 2031 Senior Notes, plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date. The Company may also redeem the Senior Notes of any series at its option, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, on or after the applicable Par Call Date, at a redemption price equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed. 78 Table of Content s Other borrowings and term debt The Company has various other committed and uncommitted lines of credit with financial institutions at certain locations outside the United States, accounts receivable securitization arrangements, factoring of accounts receivable with recourse provisions, capital leases, a building mortgage, short-term loans, term loans, credit facilities, and book overdraft facilities, totaling approximately $ 635,473 in borrowing capacity as of November 30, 2021. Most of these facilities are provided on an unsecured, short-term basis and are reviewed periodically for renewal. Interest rates and other terms of borrowing under these lines of credit vary by country, depending on local market conditions. There was $ 106,256 outstanding on these facilities at November 30, 2021, at a weighted average interest rate of 4.59 %, and there was $ 57.9 million outstanding at November 30, 2020, at a weighted average interest rate of 1.03 %. Borrowings under these lines of credit facilities are guaranteed by the Company or secured by eligible accounts receivable.

The net change in the deferred tax valuation allowances in fiscal 2021was an increase of $ 117.9 million primarily resulting from the Merger. The valuation allowance at November 30, 2021 primarily relates to carryforwards for foreign net operating losses and foreign tax credits in the United States. The valuation allowance at November 30, 2020 relates primarily to certain state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards and state credits. The Company considers all positive and negative evidence available in determining the potential of realizing deferred tax assets. To the extent that the Company generates consistent taxable income within those operations with valuation allowances, the Company may reduce the valuation allowances, thereby reducing income tax expense and increasing net income in the period the determination is made. The Company’s net operating loss carryforwards totaled $ 430.2 million at November 30, 2021. The majority of the net operating losses have an indefinite carryforward period with the remaining portion expiring in fiscal years 2022 through 2038. In addition, the Company has an immaterial net amount of state net operating losses. The Company’s foreign tax credit carryforwards in the United States totaled $ 54.8 million at November 30, 2021. The foreign tax credits have a ten-year carryforward period, and the majority is set to expire in fiscal year 2028 . 84 Table of Content s The reconciliation of the statutory United States federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate is as follows: Fiscal Years Ended November 30, 2021 2020 2019 United States federal statutory income tax rate 21.0 % 21.0 % 21.0 % State income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit 2.5 2.4 3.0 Global intangible low taxed income 0.6 0.3 0.5 Tax on foreign earnings different than US federal rate 1.6 1.7 1.8 Net changes in deferred tax valuation allowances ( 0.4 ) — — Adjustments related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act — — ( 3.1 ) Interest not subject to tax, net 0.2 ( 1.8 ) 1.0 Capital loss carryback ( 9.6 ) — — Net changes in reserves for uncertain tax positions ( 0.7 ) — — Other, net 0.1 ( 0.4 ) ( 0.8 ) Effective income tax rate 15.3 % 23.3 % 23.5 % In connection with the Merger, the Company restructured its foreign financing structure, as well as select legal entities in anticipation of legally integrating legacy Tech Data and SYNNEX foreign operations. In addition to the treasury efficiencies, these restructurings resulted in a one-time domestic capital loss which would offset certain domestic capital gains when carried back under United States tax law to tax year 2020, resulting in a tax benefit of approximately $ 45 million. The Company’s United States business has sufficient cash flow and liquidity to fund its operating requirements and the Company expects and intends that profits earned outside the United States will be fully utilized and reinvested outside of the United States. As of November 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $ 619.7 million of undistributed earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries for which it has not provided for non-U.S. withholding taxes and state taxes because such earnings are intended to be reinvested indefinitely in international operations. It is not practicable to determine the amount of applicable taxes that would be due if such earnings were distributed. Accordingly, the Company has not provisioned United States state taxes and foreign withholding taxes on non-U.S. subsidiaries for which the earnings are permanently reinvested. The Company has been granted tax holidays in certain jurisdictions, primarily, China. The tax holidays provide for lower rates of taxation and require various thresholds of investment and business activities in those jurisdictions. Certain tax holidays begin to expire in fiscal year 2021 . The tax benefits from the above tax holidays for fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019 were not material. The estimates and assumptions used by the Company in computing the income taxes reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements could differ from the actual results reflected in the income tax returns filed during the subsequent year. Adjustments are recorded based on filed returns when such returns are finalized or the related adjustments are identified. The aggregate changes in the balances of gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding accrued interest and penalties, during fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019 were as follows: For the year ended November 30: 2021 2020 2019 Gross unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of period $ 12,513 $ 22,445 $ 17,812 Increases (decreases) in tax positions for prior years and acquisitions 17,579 ( 880 ) 2,367 Decreases in tax positions for prior years - ( 3,097 ) - Increases in tax positions for current year 827 1,999 4,816 Expiration of statutes of limitation ( 3,768 ) ( 7,486 ) ( 2,535 ) Changes due to translation of foreign currencies ( 821 ) ( 468 ) ( 15 ) Gross unrecognized tax benefits at end of period $ 26,330 $ 12,513 $ 22,445 As of November 30, 2021, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate was $ 26.3 million. Unrecognized tax benefits that have a reasonable possibility of significantly decreasing within the 12 months following November 30, 2021 would not have a material impact on the tax rate. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. The Company’s accrued interest and penalties at November 30, 2021, would not have a material impact on the effective tax rate if reversed. The provision for income taxes for each of the fiscal years ended November 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019 includes interest expense on unrecognized income tax benefits for current and prior years which is not significant to the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income. The change in the balance of accrued interest for fiscal 85 Table of Content s 2021, 2020 and 2019, includes the current year end accrual, an interest benefit resulting from the expiration of statutes of limitation, and the translation adjustments on foreign currencies. The Company conducts business primarily in the Americas, Europe and APJ, and as a result, one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, various state, local and foreign tax jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities. The Company is no longer subject to examinations by the Internal Revenue Service for years before fiscal 2018. The Company is no longer subject to foreign or state income tax audits for returns covering years through 2003, and fiscal year 2010, respectively. In preparation of the Separation, SYNNEX entered into a Tax Matters Agreement with Concentrix effective on December 1, 2020 that governs the rights and obligations of SYNNEX and Concentrix for certain pre-Separation tax liabilities. The Tax Matters Agreement provides that SYNNEX and Concentrix will share certain pre-Separation income tax liabilities that arise from adjustments made by tax authorities to SYNNEX and Concentrix’ U.S. and certain non-U.S. income tax returns. In certain jurisdictions SYNNEX and Concentrix have joint and several liability for past income tax liabilities and accordingly, SYNNEX could be legally liable under applicable tax law for such liabilities and required to make additional tax payments. In addition, if the distribution of Concentrix' common shares to the SYNNEX stockholders is determined to be taxable, Concentrix and SYNNEX would share the tax liability equally, unless the taxability of the distribution is the direct result of action taken by either Concentrix or SYNNEX subsequent to the distribution in which case the party causing the distribution to be taxable would be responsible for any taxes imposed on the distribution. NOTE 18—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: As is customary in the technology industry, to encourage certain customers to purchase products from us, the Company also has other financing agreements with financial institutions to provide inventory financing facilities to the Company’s customers and allow certain customers of the Company to finance their purchases directly with the financial institutions. The Company is contingently liable to repurchase inventory sold under these agreements in the event of any default by its customers under the agreement and such inventory being repossessed by the financial institutions. As the Company does not have access to information regarding the amount of inventory purchased from the Company, still on hand with the customer at any point in time, the Company’s repurchase obligations relating to inventory cannot be reasonably estimated. Losses, if any, would be the difference between the repossession cost and the resale value of the inventory. Repurchases under these arrangements have been insignificant to date and the Company is not aware of any pending customer defaults or repossession obligations. The Company believes that, based on historical experience, the likelihood of a material loss pursuant to these inventory repurchase obligations is remote. 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 the Company is 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). The Company has vigorously contested the arguments of the Competition Authority, and the Company has appealed its determination to the French courts, seeking to set aside or reduce the fine. Although the Company believes it has strong arguments on appeal, the Company has 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 the Company’s appeal does not suspend the obligation to pay the fine. Tech Data agreed with the 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, the Company has 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, the Company may be required to pay further amounts towards the full fine assessed by the Competition Authority before the Company’s appeal is finally determined. However, any additional amounts that may need to be paid have not yet been determined. Additionally, the Company has 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. The Company is currently evaluating this matter and cannot currently estimate the probability or amount of any potential loss. From time to time, the Company receives notices from third parties, including customers and suppliers, seeking indemnification, payment of money or other actions in connection with claims made against them. Also, from time to time, the Company has been involved in various bankruptcy preference actions where the Company was a supplier to the companies now in bankruptcy. In addition, the Company is subject to various other claims, both asserted and unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company evaluates these claims and records the related liabilities. It is possible that the ultimate liabilities could differ from the amounts recorded. Under the Separation and Distribution agreement, SYNNEX agreed to indemnify Concentrix, each of its subsidiaries and each of their respective directors, officers and employees from and against all liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from, among other matters, the liabilities allocated to SYNNEX as part of the Separation. Similarly, Concentrix agreed to indemnify SYNNEX, each of its subsidiaries and each of their respective directors, officers and employees from and against all liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from, among 86 Table of Content s other matters, the liabilities allocated to Concentrix as part of the Separation. SYNNEX expects Concentrix to fully perform under the terms of the S eparation and D istribution agreement. Under the Separation and Distribution agreement, SYNNEX and Concentrix agreed to cooperate with each other in managing litigation related to both companies' businesses. The Separation and Distribution agreement also included provisions that assign to each company responsibility for managing pending and future litigation related to the general corporate matters of SYNNEX arising prior to the Separation. The Company does not believe that the above commitments and contingencies will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. 87 Table of Content s TD SYNNEX CORPORATION SCHEDULE II—VALUATION AND QUALIFYING ACCOUNTS For the Fiscal Years Ended November 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands) (Amounts may not add due to rounding) Additions/Deductions Balances at Beginning of Fiscal Year Charged to Revenue and Expense, net Additions from Acquisitions Reclassifications and Write-offs Balances at End of Fiscal Year Fiscal Year Ended November 30, 2019 Allowance for sales returns-gross $ 56,183 $ 20,875 $ — $ ( 4 ) $ 77,054 Allowance for deferred tax assets 5,807 419 — — 6,226 Fiscal Year Ended November 30, 2020 Allowance for sales returns-gross $ 77,054 $ 17,385 — $ 183 $ 94,622 Allowance for deferred tax assets 6,226 ( 734 ) — — 5,492 Fiscal Year Ended November 30, 2021 Allowance for sales returns-gross $ 94,622 $ ( 12,241 ) $ 89,321 $ 167 $ 171,869 Allowance for deferred tax assets 5,492 - 120,411 ( 2,468 ) 123,435 88 Table of Content s Item 9.
