TIGER PARENT (AP) CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business
On November 12, 2019, Tech Data Corporation entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as subsequently amended on November 27, 2019 (the Apollo Merger Agreement), with Tiger Midco, LLC (Tiger Midco) and Tiger Merger Sub Co. (Merger Sub). Tiger Midco and Merger Sub are affiliates of certain funds (the Apollo Funds), managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management Inc. (Apollo). Pursuant to the Apollo Merger Agreement, Tiger Midco agreed to acquire all the outstanding shares of Tech Data Corporations common stock (other than shares held by Tech Data Corporation as treasury stock or held by certain affiliates of the Apollo Funds) for $145 per share in cash. On June 30, 2020, Merger Sub merged with and into Tech Data Corporation (the Apollo Merger), with Tech Data Corporation surviving the Apollo Merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Tiger Midco (see Note 2Acquisitions for additional information).
Tiger Parent, LLC was formed on November 6, 2019 and was converted to Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation on June 12, 2020. Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries including Tiger Midco, is the parent company of Tech Data Corporation subsequent to the Apollo Merger. The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated results of Tech Data Corporation for periods prior to the Apollo Merger on June 30, 2020 (the predecessor period) and the consolidated results of Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation for periods subsequent to the Apollo Merger (the successor period). References to the Company indicate Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation and its subsidiaries for periods subsequent to the date of the Apollo Merger and Tech Data Corporation and its subsidiaries for periods prior to the Apollo Merger.
The Company is one of the worlds largest IT distribution and solutions companies. The Company serves a critical role in the center of the IT ecosystem, bringing products from the worlds leading technology vendors to market, as well as helping customers create solutions best suited to maximize business outcomes for their end-user customers. The Companys customers include value-added resellers, direct marketers, retailers, corporate resellers and managed service providers who support the diverse technology needs of end users. The Company manages its business in three geographic regions: the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific.
On March 22, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the SYNNEX Merger Agreement) with SYNNEX Corporation (SYNNEX) and its affiliates. Pursuant to the SYNNEX Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions described therein, the affiliates of SYNNEX will acquire all the outstanding shares of the Companys common stock (the SYNNEX Merger).
At the effective time of the SYNNEX Merger, except as otherwise set forth in the SYNNEX Merger Agreement, all the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company will be converted automatically into and thereafter represent only the right to receive (i) $1,610,000,000 in cash, in the aggregate and (ii) 44,000,000 total shares of common stock of SYNNEX. Prior to the effective date of the SYNNEX Merger, affiliates of Apollo are required to make an additional equity contribution of at least $500 million in cash to the Company. The completion of the SYNNEX Merger is also subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval by the holders of a majority of the stock of SYNNEX of both the share issuance and an increase in the authorized number of shares of SYNNEX common stock of 100 million, the expiration of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, the receipt of other required approvals under foreign antitrust laws, the approval of the listing on the New York Stock Exchange of the shares of SYNNEX common stock to be issued as consideration in the SYNNEX Merger and other customary closing conditions.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation and its subsidiaries during the successor period and Tech Data Corporation and its subsidiaries during the predecessor period. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company operates on a fiscal year that ends on January 31.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP). These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Apollo Merger was accounted for as a business combination using the purchase method of accounting. As a result of the application of purchase accounting, the consolidated financial statements for the successor period are not comparable to those of the predecessor period.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company as of April 30, 2021, and its consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), shareholders equity and cash flows for the three months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020.
Seasonality
The Companys quarterly operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and will likely continue to do so in the future as a result of currency fluctuations and seasonal variations in the demand for the products and services it sells. Historical seasonal variations have included an increase in European demand during the Companys fiscal fourth quarter. The seasonal trend in Europe typically results in greater operating leverage, and therefore, lower selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales in the region during the Companys fourth quarter.
Furthermore, in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic. The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative effect on the global economy, disrupting the financial markets and creating increasing volatility, impacting customer demand and impeding global supply chains. The Company cannot at this time accurately predict what effects these conditions will have on its operations and financial condition, including due to 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. Therefore, the results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire fiscal year ended January 31, 2022.
Revenue Recognition
The Companys revenues primarily result from the sale of various technology products and services. The Company recognizes revenue as control of products is transferred to customers, which generally happens at the point of shipment. Products sold by the Company are delivered via shipment from the Companys facilities, dropshipment directly from the vendor, or by electronic delivery of keys for software products. In relation to product support, supply chain management and other services performed by the Company, revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed. Service revenues and related contract liabilities were not material for the periods presented.
9
The Company has contracts with certain customers where the Companys performance obligation is to arrange for the products or services to be provided by another party. In these arrangements, as the Company assumes an agency relationship in the transaction, revenue is recognized in the amount of the net fee associated with serving as an agent. These arrangements primarily relate to certain fulfillment contracts, as well as sales of software services and extended warranty services.
The Company allows its customers to exchange product or return for credit subject to certain limitations. 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. The Company also provides volume rebates and other discounts to certain customers which are considered variable consideration. A provision for customer rebates and other discounts is recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of sale based on an evaluation of the contract terms and historical experience.
The Company considers shipping and handling activities as costs to fulfill the sales of products. Shipping revenue is included in net sales when control of the product is transferred to the customer, and the related shipping and handling costs are included in cost of products sold. Taxes imposed by governmental authorities on the Companys revenue producing activities with customers, such as sales taxes and value added taxes, are excluded from net sales.
The Company disaggregates its revenue by geography, which the Company believes provides a meaningful depiction of the nature of its revenue. Net sales includes service revenues, which are not a significant component of total revenue and are aggregated within the respective geographies. The following table sets forth the Companys disaggregated net sales (in thousands):

Accounts Receivable
The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses related to accounts receivable for future expected credit losses resulting from the inability or unwillingness of its customers to make required payments. 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
10
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 accounts receivable purchase agreements under which certain accounts receivable may be sold, without recourse, to third-party financial institutions. Under these programs, the Company may sell certain accounts receivable in exchange for cash less a discount, as defined in the agreements. Available capacity under these programs, which the Company uses as a source of working capital funding, is dependent on the level of accounts receivable eligible to be sold into these programs and the financial institutions willingness to purchase such receivables. In addition, certain of these agreements also require that the Company continue to service, administer and collect the sold accounts receivable. At April 30, 2021 and January 31, 2021, the Company had a total of $633.5 million and $691.9 million, respectively, of accounts receivable sold to and held by financial institutions under these agreements. During the three months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, discount fees recorded under these facilities were $2.4 million and $3.1 million, respectively. These discount fees are included as a component of other expense, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Transactions with Related Parties
In connection with the Apollo Merger, the Company has entered into certain transactions with its parent, Tiger Parent Holdings, L.P. (the Parent) and certain affiliates of Apollo, including a management fee agreement. Fees incurred under the management fee agreement were $2.4 million for the three months ended April 30, 2021 and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. At April 30, 2021, the Company had amounts payable to the Parent of $6.2 million primarily related to transaction costs associated with the completion of the Apollo Merger, which are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2019-12, which simplifies and clarifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance. Under the new standard, certain amendments are to be applied prospectively, while other amendments are to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company adopted this standard during the quarter ended April 30, 2021. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events through June 2, 2021, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

NOTE 2ACQUISITIONS
The Apollo Merger
Pursuant to the Apollo Merger Agreement, on June 30, 2020, Merger Sub merged with and into Tech Data Corporation, with Tech Data Corporation surviving the Apollo Merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Tiger Midco. Tiger Midco, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation, acquired all the outstanding shares of Tech Data Corporations common stock (other than shares held by Tech Data Corporation as treasury stock or held by certain affiliates of the Apollo Funds) for $145 per share in cash. Additionally, per the terms of the Apollo Merger Agreement, all nonvested restricted stock units (RSUs) were vested, cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount of $145 per share in cash. Nonvested performance based restricted stock units (PRSUs) were also cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount of $145 per share in cash determined as follows: (i) for PRSUs granted during fiscal 2019, the number of shares equaled 130% of the target shares granted and (ii) for PRSUs granted during fiscal 2020, the number of shares equaled 110% of the target shares granted. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $5.2 billion.
The Parent contributed approximately $3.7 billion as equity to Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation in conjunction with the Apollo Merger, of which approximately $3.6 billion was used to fund the purchase price for Tech Data Corporation. The remaining purchase price for Tech Data Corporation was financed through the issuance of debt (see Note 4 Debt for further discussion) and cash on hand at Tech Data Corporation.
The Company has accounted for the Apollo Merger as a business combination and allocated the purchase price to the estimated fair values of Tech Data Corporations assets and liabilities. The Company has not yet completed its evaluation and determination of certain assets and liabilities, primarily (i) the final assessment and valuation of certain assets and liabilities, including accounts receivable and accounts payable 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 Companys preliminary estimates.
The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is as follows:

The allocation of the value of identifiable intangible assets includes approximately $2.1 billion of customer relationships with amortization periods ranging from 10 years to 15 years, with a weighted average amortization period of 14 years and $622 million of indefinite-lived trade names. Goodwill is the excess of the consideration
12
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 existing business, of which approximately $550 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
The following table presents unaudited supplemental pro forma information as if the Apollo 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. As a result, the pro forma information below does not purport to present what actual results would have been had the Apollo Merger been consummated on the date indicated and it is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may result in the future.

Innovix Acquisition
On September 30, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of Innovix Distribution (Innovix), a leading technology distributor in the Asia-Pacific region for a purchase price of approximately $52 million in cash. The Innovix acquisition expands the Companys presence across the Asia-Pacific region and strengthens its Endpoint Solutions and Advanced Solutions capabilities. The Company has accounted for the acquisition as a business combination and allocated the purchase price to the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including cash of approximately $21 million, accounts receivable of approximately $121 million, inventory of approximately $41 million and accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities of approximately $107 million. The excess of the estimated fair values of the net tangible assets over the purchase price was recorded as a gain on bargain purchase of $30.2 million in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the period ended January 31, 2021. The Company acquired the net assets of Innovix for an amount less than fair value as its former parent decided to exit this business after it concluded that Innovix represented an insignificant non-strategic portion of its consolidated operations.
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 other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including accounts receivable, inventory, accrued expenses and other liabilities and (ii) the final assessment and valuation of certain tax amounts. Therefore, the final fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed may vary from the Companys preliminary estimates. Proforma information for the acquisition of Innovix has not been presented as the acquisition was not material to the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Finance Technology Acquisition
On February 10, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Finance Technology AS (Finance Technology), a specialist technology-as-a-service (TaaS) platform provider for a purchase price of
13
approximately $14.1 million in cash. The Finance Technology acquisition enhances the Companys ability to offer innovative, integrated and flexible TaaS solutions at scale across the European region. The Company has accounted for the acquisition as a business combination and allocated the purchase price to the estimated fair values of assets acquired, primarily intangible assets.
The Company has not yet completed its evaluation and determination of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Therefore, the final fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed may vary from the Companys preliminary estimates. Proforma information for the acquisition of Finance Technology has not been presented as the acquisition was not material to the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Senior Notes
In January 2017, the Company issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.70% Senior Notes due February 15, 2022 (the 2022 Senior Notes) and $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.95% Senior Notes due February 15, 2027 (the 2027 Senior Notes) (collectively the Senior Notes). The Company pays interest on the Senior Notes semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The interest rate payable on the Senior Notes will be subject to adjustment from time to time if the credit rating assigned to such series of notes changes; however, at no point will the interest rate be reduced below the interest rate payable on the notes on the date of the initial issuance or increase more than 2.00% above the interest rate payable on the notes of the series on the date of their initial issuance. The interest rate payable on the Senior Notes initially increased by 1.00% as a result of the Apollo Merger and in the quarter ended April 30, 2021 has further increased an additional 1.00%. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Tech Data Corporation and will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding.
The Company, at its option, may redeem the 2022 Senior Notes at any time prior to January 15, 2022 and the 2027 Senior Notes at any time prior to November 15, 2026, in each case in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum
16
of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Senior Notes to be redeemed, discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points for the 2022 Senior Notes and 40 basis points for the 2027 Senior Notes, plus the accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed up to the date of redemption. The Company may also redeem the Senior Notes, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, on or after January 15, 2022 for the 2022 Senior Notes and November 15, 2026 for the 2027 Senior Notes, in each case, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed.
On March 10, 2020, Merger Sub launched an offer to purchase for cash any and all of the Companys outstanding 2022 Senior Notes and any and all of the Companys outstanding 2027 Senior Notes and a consent solicitation to amend the indenture and global securities establishing the 2022 Senior Notes and the 2027 Senior Notes to (i) eliminate the requirement to make a change of control offer in connection with the proposed merger of Merger Sub into Tech Data Corporation pursuant to the Apollo Merger Agreement and (ii) make certain other customary changes for a privately-held company to the change of control provisions (the Proposed Amendments). Concurrently with, but separate from, the aforementioned offer to purchase and consent solicitation, Merger Sub launched a consent solicitation for the Proposed Amendments for holders of the 2027 Senior Notes. On March 24, 2020, Merger Sub announced that the requisite more than 50% of consents were received to adopt the Proposed Amendments. The aforementioned consent solicitations were conducted by Merger Sub pursuant to the terms of, and subject to the conditions set forth in, the offer to purchase and consent solicitation statement, dated March 10, 2020 (the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation), and the separate consent solicitation statement, dated March 10, 2020 (the 2027 Consent Solicitation and, together with the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation, the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statements). On March 24, 2020, the Company entered into a Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Indenture and Global Security for the 2022 Senior Notes (the 2022 Supplemental Indenture) and a Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Indenture and Global Security for the 2027 Senior Notes (the 2027 Supplemental Indenture and, together with the 2022 Supplemental Indenture, the Supplemental Indentures) effecting the Proposed Amendments.
On June 30, 2020, upon consummation of the Apollo Merger and the satisfaction of certain other conditions, Merger Sub accepted and paid for approximately $434.1 million principal amount of the 2022 Senior Notes and approximately $369.4 million principal amount of the 2027 Senior Notes.
Asset Based Credit Agreement
On June 30, 2020, as part of the Apollo Merger transaction, the Company entered into an approximately $4.9 billion Asset Based Credit Agreement (the ABL) with a syndicate of banks. The ABL is comprised of (i) a $2.8 billion revolving credit facility (the ABL Revolver), (ii) a $1.7 billion Non- First-In Last-Out (FILO) Term Loan and (iii) a $370 million FILO Term Loan. The ABL facilities constitute senior debt of the Company that is secured by a first priority lien by a pledge of Tech Data Corporations capital stock directly held by Tiger Midco and first-priority security interests in substantially all of Tech Data Corporations accounts receivable, inventory, general intangibles (other than intellectual property), bank accounts and cash, and books and records related to the foregoing, in each case, subject to certain exceptions.
The ABL Revolver provides for (i) a maturity date of June 30, 2025 (ii) an interest rate on borrowings, facility fees and letter of credit fees based on average availability under the ABL Revolver and (iii) certain subsidiaries of the Company to be designated as borrowers. The applicable borrower pays interest on advances under the ABL Revolver based on LIBOR (or similar interbank offered rate depending on currency draw) plus a predetermined margin that is based on the Companys average revolving availability.
The Non-FILO Term Loan and FILO Term Loan (collectively, the ABL Term Loans) have a maturity date of June 30, 2025. The Company pays interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR (or similar interbank offered rate depending on currency draw) plus, in each case, a fixed predetermined margin. The Company entered into two interest rate swaps which convert the interest payable on the ABL Term Loans from a variable
17
rate to a fixed rate (see Note 8 Derivative Instruments for further discussion). The Company must repay 0.25% of the original principal amount of the ABL Term Loans on a quarterly basis. Any refinancing through the issuance of certain debt or any repricing amendment, in either case, that constitutes a repricing event applicable to the ABL Term Loans resulting in a lower yield will be accompanied by a 1.00% prepayment premium or fee, as applicable, if any such repricing event occurs, (i) with respect to the Non-FILO Term Loan, at any time during the first six months after the closing date of the ABL and (ii) with respect to the FILO Term Loan, at any time during the first twelve months after the closing date of the ABL. Otherwise, the ABL Term Loans may be repaid at any time, without premium or penalty, subject to customary breakage costs, except that, subject to certain exceptions, the FILO Term Loan may not be prepaid prior to the payment in full of any amounts outstanding under the ABL Revolver and the Non-FILO Term Loan.
The ABL Revolver includes a springing financial maintenance covenant based on availability under the ABL Revolver. At April 30, 2021, the financial maintenance covenant did not apply. In addition, the ABL contains covenants that would restrict the Companys ability to, among other things, incur certain debt and liens, make certain dividends and other restricted payments, make certain investments, sell certain assets and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. The ABL also contains certain customary events of default, including relating to a change of control. If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the ABL are entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the ABL and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor in respect of the collateral securing the ABL.
Other Credit Facilities
The Company has various other committed and uncommitted lines of credit, short-term loans and overdraft facilities totaling approximately $388.4 million at April 30, 2021 to support its operations. Most of these facilities are provided on an unsecured, short-term basis and are reviewed periodically for renewal.
At April 30, 2021, the Company had also issued standby letters of credit of $131.6 million. These letters of credit typically act as a guarantee of payment to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions.
NOTE 5INCOME TAXES
The Companys provision for income taxes decreased to $2.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $12.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The decrease in the provision for income taxes for the three months ended April 30, 2021, as compared to the prior year is primarily due to a decrease in taxable earnings.
The Companys effective tax rate was (845.5)% and 20.1% for the three months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company had a provision for income taxes of $2.8 million on a loss before income taxes of $0.3 million for the three months ended April 30, 2021 which results in a negative effective tax rate. The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 2021, as compared to the prior year, is primarily due to the impact of operating losses within certain tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates and the impact of certain discrete tax items.
NOTE 6STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Equity Awards in the Parent
Subsequent to the Apollo Merger, certain of the Companys employees have been granted equity awards (Series B Units) in the Parent. Series B Units entitle the holder to certain rights to receive amounts in cash upon a Substantially All Assets Sale Distribution or a Liquidation Event Distribution, each as defined in the Tiger Parent Holdings, L.P. Partnership Agreement. A total of 90,000 Series B Units are available for grant.
18
Series B Units with service conditions only (Time-based Series B Units) vest over a five-year period from the date of grant. Series B Units with service, market and performance conditions (Performance-based Series B Units) vest if the total cash return to certain affiliates of Apollo (referred to as MOIC) upon a liquidation event exceeds certain defined thresholds while the holder of the Performance-based Series B Units is employed with the Company. Certain non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company have also been granted preferred shares (Series A Units) and common shares in the Parent that vest over a one-year period from the date of grant.
The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $1.3 million for the three months ended April 30, 2021 for the Time-based Series B Units. No expense was recorded for the Performance-based Series B Units as it is not considered probable that the performance conditions will be satisfied. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended April 30, 2021 for the Series A Units and common shares.
A summary of the Companys year to date Time-based Series B Units activity for the three months ended April 30, 2021 is as follows:

Equity Incentive Plans
The Company recorded $6.3 million of stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended April 30, 2020 under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan was approved by the Companys shareholders in June 2018 and included 2.0 million shares available for grant. Prior to the Apollo Merger, the Company awarded officers, employees, and non-employee members of the Board of Directors restricted stock, options to purchase common stock, stock appreciation rights and performance awards that were dependent upon achievement of specified performance goals. Equity-based compensation awards had a maximum term of ten years, unless a shorter period was specified by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (Compensation Committee) or was required under local law. Awards under the plan were priced as determined by the Compensation Committee and were required to be priced at, or above, the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. Awards generally vested between one year and three years from the date of grant. The Companys policy was to utilize shares of its treasury stock, to the extent available, to satisfy its obligation to issue shares upon the exercise of awards.
Pursuant to the terms of the Apollo Merger Agreement, upon closing of the Apollo Merger all nonvested RSUs were vested, cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount of $145 per share in cash.
19
Nonvested PRSUs were also cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount of $145 per share in cash determined as follows: (i) for PRSUs granted during fiscal 2019, the number of shares equaled 130% of the target shares granted and (ii) for PRSUs granted during fiscal 2020, the number of shares equaled 110% of the target shares granted.
NOTE 7FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Companys assets and liabilities carried or disclosed at fair value are classified in one of the following three categories: Level 1 quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 above that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The classification of an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table summarizes the valuation of the Companys assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The Companys foreign currency derivative instruments are measured on a recurring basis based on foreign currency spot rates and forward rates quoted by banks or foreign currency dealers and are marked-to-market each period. The Companys interest rate swaps are measured on a recurring basis using a discounted cash flow valuation technique considering the terms of the instrument, discount rates and projected LIBOR rates (see Note 8Derivative Instruments for further discussion).
The estimated fair value of the Senior Notes is based upon quoted market information (Level 1). The estimated fair value of the Senior Notes was approximately $209.5 million and $199.0 million, respectively, at April 30, 2021 and January 31, 2021 and the carrying value was $198.5 million and $198.7 million, respectively,
20
at April 30, 2021 and January 31, 2021. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. The carrying amounts of debt outstanding pursuant to revolving credit facilities and term loans approximated fair value as the majority of these instruments have variable interest rates which approximate current market rates (Level 2 criteria).
NOTE 8DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The Companys foreign currency risk management objective has been to protect earnings and cash flows from the impact of exchange rate changes primarily through the use of foreign currency forward contracts and cross-currency swaps.
Net Investment Hedges
In fiscal 2020, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of its net investment in euro denominated foreign operations which were designated as net investment hedges. The Company entered into the net investment hedges to offset the risk of change in the U.S. dollar value of the Companys investment in a euro functional subsidiary due to fluctuating foreign exchange rates. The Company terminated these net investment hedge contracts during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Gains and losses on the net investment hedges were recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). Amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as of June 30, 2020 were eliminated as part of purchase accounting in conjunction with the Apollo Merger. Prior to the termination of the net investment hedges, the initial fair value of hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness was recognized under a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument in interest expense, net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company classifies cash flows related to the settlement of its net investment hedges as investing activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
The company had no net investment hedges outstanding during the three months ended April 30, 2021. The following table presents the effects of the Companys net investment hedges on accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and earnings for the three months ended April 30, 2020:
Cash Flow Hedges
Prior to the Apollo Merger, Merger Sub entered into two interest rate swaps in order to hedge the exposure to interest rate fluctuations on expected borrowings under the ABL in conjunction with the closing of the Apollo Merger. These interest rate swaps convert the interest payable on the ABL Term Loans from a variable rate to a fixed rate. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. The notional values of the interest rate swaps totaled $2.0 billion at April 30, 2021 and they are set to mature on August 29, 2025. The Company has classified cash flows related to its interest rate swaps as operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Additionally, the Company previously entered into a cross-currency swap to hedge its cash flows related to certain foreign-currency denominated debt which was designated as a cash flow hedge. The notional value of this swap was $4.5 million at January 31, 2020 and the swap matured in February 2020. The Company has classified cash flows related to the settlement of its cross-currency swap as financing activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
21
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). These gains and losses are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings and are presented in the same operating statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges
The Company additionally utilizes forward contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments to hedge intercompany loans, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The Companys foreign currency exposure relates primarily to international transactions where the currency collected from customers can be different from the currency used to purchase the product. The Companys transactions in its foreign operations are denominated primarily in the following currencies: Australian dollar, British pound, Canadian dollar, Czech koruna, Danish krone, euro, Indian rupee, Indonesian rupiah, Mexican peso, Norwegian krone, Polish zloty, Singapore dollar, Swedish krona, Swiss franc and U.S. dollar.
The Company considers inventory as an economic hedge against foreign currency exposure in accounts payable in certain circumstances. This practice offsets such inventory against corresponding accounts payable denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the subsidiary buying the inventory when determining the net exposure to be hedged using traditional forward contracts. Under this strategy, the Company would expect to increase or decrease selling prices for products purchased in foreign currencies based on fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates affecting the underlying accounts payable. To the extent the Company incurs a foreign currency exchange loss (gain) on the underlying accounts payable denominated in the foreign currency, a corresponding increase (decrease) in gross profit would be expected as the related inventory is sold. This strategy can result in a certain degree of quarterly earnings volatility as the underlying accounts payable is remeasured using the foreign currency exchange rate prevailing at the end of each period, or settlement date if earlier, whereas the corresponding increase (decrease) in gross profit is not realized until the related inventory is sold.
The Company recognizes foreign currency exchange gains and losses on its derivative instruments not designated as hedges that are used to manage its exposures to foreign currency denominated accounts receivable
22
and accounts payable as a component of cost of products sold which is consistent with the classification of the change in fair value upon remeasurement of the underlying hedged accounts receivable or accounts payable. The Company recognizes foreign currency exchange gains and losses on its derivative instruments not designated as hedges that are used to manage its exposures to foreign currency denominated financing transactions as a component of other expense, net, which is consistent with the classification of the change in fair value upon remeasurement of the underlying hedged loans. The gains and losses on the Companys foreign currency forward contracts are largely offset by the change in the fair value of the underlying hedged assets or liabilities. The Company classifies cash flows related to the settlement of forward contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments as operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
The total amount of gains (losses) recognized in earnings on the Companys derivatives not designated as hedges for the three months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:

The Companys average notional amounts of derivatives not designated as hedges outstanding during the three months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $0.9 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, with average maturities of 29 days and 22 days, respectively. As discussed above, under the Companys hedging policies, gains and losses on these derivative financial instruments are largely offset by the gains and losses on the underlying assets or liabilities being hedged.

NOTE 10COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Guarantees
The Company has arrangements with certain finance companies that provide inventory financing facilities to the Companys customers. In conjunction with certain of these arrangements, the Company would be required to purchase certain inventory in the event the inventory is repossessed from the customers by the finance companies. 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 Companys repurchase obligations relating to inventory cannot be reasonably estimated. Repurchases of inventory by the Company under these arrangements have been insignificant to date. The Company believes that, based on historical experience, the likelihood of a material loss pursuant to these inventory repurchase obligations is remote.
Contingencies
In December 2010, in a non-unanimous decision, a Brazilian appellate court overturned a 2003 trial court which had previously ruled in favor of the Companys Brazilian subsidiary related to the imposition of certain taxes on payments abroad related to the licensing of commercial software products, commonly referred to as CIDE tax. The Company estimates the total exposure related to the CIDE tax, including interest, was approximately $14.6 million at April 30, 2021. The Brazilian subsidiary has appealed the unfavorable ruling to the Supreme Court and Superior Court, Brazils two highest appellate courts. Based on the legal opinion of outside counsel, the Company believes that the chances of success on appeal of this matter are favorable and the Brazilian subsidiary intends to vigorously defend its position that the CIDE tax is not due. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded an accrual for the total estimated CIDE tax exposure. However, due to the lack of predictability of the Brazilian court system, the Company has concluded that it is reasonably possible that the Brazilian subsidiary may incur a loss up to the total exposure described above. The Company believes the resolution of this litigation will not be material to the Companys consolidated net assets or liquidity.
The French Autorité de la Concurrence (Competition Authority) began in 2013 an investigation into the French market for certain products of Apple, Inc., for which the Company is a distributor. In March 2020, the Competition Authority imposed fines on the Company, on another distributor, and on Apple, finding that the Company entered into an anticompetitive agreement with Apple regarding volume allocations of Apple products. The fine imposed on the Company was 76 million. 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 determined during the second quarter of fiscal 2021 that the best estimate of probable loss related to this matter is 36 million. As a result, during the predecessor period ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a charge of $41.2 million in legal settlements and other litigation, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Under French law, the pendency of the Companys appeal does not suspend the obligation to pay the fine. The Company has agreed 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. If the appeal process
24
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 Companys 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.
The Company is subject to various other legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Companys management does not expect that the outcome in any of these other legal proceedings, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

OVERVIEW
On November 12, 2019, Tech Data Corporation entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as subsequently amended on November 27, 2019 (the Apollo Merger Agreement), with Tiger Midco, LLC (Tiger Midco) and Tiger Merger Sub Co. (Merger Sub). Tiger Midco and Merger Sub are affiliates of certain funds (the Apollo Funds), managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management Inc. (Apollo). Pursuant to the Apollo Merger Agreement, Tiger Midco agreed to acquire all the outstanding shares of Tech Data Corporations common stock (other than shares held by Tech Data Corporation as treasury stock or held by certain affiliates of the Apollo Funds) for $145 per share in cash. On June 30, 2020, Merger Sub merged with and into Tech Data Corporation (the Apollo Merger), with Tech Data Corporation surviving the Apollo Merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Tiger Midco (see Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information). Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries including Tiger Midco, is the parent company of Tech Data Corporation subsequent to the Merger. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $5.2 billion. Tiger Parent Holdings, L.P. (the Parent), the parent company of Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation, contributed approximately $3.7 billion as equity to Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation in conjunction with the Apollo Merger, of which approximately $3.6 billion was used to fund the purchase price for Tech Data Corporation. The remaining purchase price for Tech Data Corporation was financed through the issuance of debt (see Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion) and cash on hand at Tech Data Corporation.
The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated results of Tech Data Corporation for periods prior to the Apollo Merger on June 30, 2020 (the predecessor period) as well as the consolidated results of Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation after the date of the Apollo Merger (the successor period). References to we, our, us or the Company indicate Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation and its subsidiaries for periods subsequent to the date of the Apollo Merger and Tech Data Corporation and its subsidiaries for periods prior to the Apollo Merger.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic. The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative effect on the global economy, disrupting the financial markets and creating increasing volatility, impacting customer demand and impeding global supply chains. In response to COVID-19, the company continues to operate with a significant portion of our global workforce participating in work-from-home arrangements and all of our logistics centers are open and functioning with strict health and safety guidelines in place. We cannot at this time accurately predict what effects these conditions will have on our operations and financial condition, including due to uncertainties relating to the severity and duration of the pandemic, the effect on our customers and customer demand and the length of the restrictions and closures imposed by various governments. Accordingly, the operating results and financial condition discussed herein may not be indicative of future operating results and trends.
27
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP), the Company also discloses certain non-GAAP financial information. Certain of these measures are presented as adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currencies (referred to as impact of changes in foreign currencies). Removing the impact of the
changes in foreign currencies provides a framework for assessing our financial performance as compared to prior periods. The impact
of changes in foreign currencies is calculated by using the exchange rates from the prior year comparable period applied to the results
of operations for the current period. The measure of adjusted EBITDA is based on the defined terms in our Asset Based Credit Agreement. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this document include:
|
Net sales, as adjusted, which is defined as net sales adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currencies; |
|
Gross profit, as adjusted, which is defined as gross profit as adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currencies; |
|
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A), as adjusted, which is defined as SG&A as adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currencies; |
|
Reported EBITDA, which is defined as net (loss) income adjusted for income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense and other expense, net; |
|
Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as reported EBITDA plus or minus adjustments for defined items in our Asset Based Credit Agreement, including, but not limited to, extraordinary, nonrecurring or unusual items, acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses, human resources expenses, stock-based and long term incentive compensation expense, legal settlements and other litigation costs, discontinued operations/facilities, systems design, implementation or establishment costs, public company costs, purchase accounting adjustments and management fees. |
Management believes that providing this additional information is useful to the reader to assess and understand our financial performance as compared with results from previous periods. However, analysis of results via these financial measures should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP. Reported EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not include, among other things, cash requirements for capital expenditures and working capital, or interest expense in relation to our debt facilities. Therefore, reported EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may have certain limitations in analyzing our financial results. Additionally, because these measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

COMMENTARY
AMERICAS
|
The increase in Americas net sales, as adjusted, of $46.5 million is primarily due to an increase in our Endpoint Solutions portfolio, partially offset by a decline in our Advanced Solutions portfolio. |
EUROPE
|
The increase in Europe net sales, as adjusted, of $514.0 million is primarily due to growth in our Endpoint Solutions portfolio, including increased sales of products from Apple, Inc. The impact of changes in foreign currencies is primarily due to the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar. |
ASIA-PACIFIC
|
The increase in Asia-Pacific net sales, as adjusted, of $148.6 million is primarily due to the impact of the acquisition of Innovix in September 2020. |

The decrease in gross profit, as adjusted, of $15.8 million is primarily due to the impact of the mix of products sold, as well as an unfavorable impact of $28.8 million for purchase accounting adjustments related to certain consideration received from vendors, partially offset by an increase in net sales volume. The decrease in our year-over-year gross profit as a percentage of net sales is primarily due to the mix of products sold and the unfavorable impact of purchase accounting adjustments.

ACQUISITION, INTEGRATION AND RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES
Acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses are primarily comprised of costs related to the Apollo Merger, the new Global Optimization Program initiated in fiscal 2021 (the GBO 2 Program), the prior Global Business Optimization Program which was initiated in fiscal 2019 (the GBO Program), the tdONE Program and the SYNNEX Merger.
The Apollo Merger
We incurred transaction costs related to the completion of the Apollo Merger, including professional services costs and personnel and other costs. Professional services costs are primarily comprised of legal expenses and tax and other consulting services. Personnel and other costs are primarily comprised of retention costs.
Transaction costs related to the Apollo Merger are comprised of the following:

GBO 2 Program
In conjunction with the completion of the Apollo Merger, in fiscal 2021 we began our GBO 2 Program. The GBO 2 Program includes investments that will optimize and standardize processes and apply data and analytics to be more agile in a rapidly evolving environment, increasing productivity, profitability and optimizing net-working capital. Acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses related to the GBO 2 Program are primarily comprised of restructuring costs and other professional services costs. Restructuring costs are comprised of severance costs and other associated exit costs, including certain consulting costs. Other professional services costs are primarily comprised of professional services fees unrelated to restructuring activities, including costs related to improving profitability and optimizing net-working capital. We have incurred cumulative acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses under the GBO 2 program of approximately $71 million through April 30, 2021. Our estimate of acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses under the GBO 2 program is $175 million to $200 million. The majority of the remaining costs are expected to be incurred through fiscal 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is based on a defined term in our Asset Based Credit Agreement. Management believes that providing this additional information is useful to the reader to assess and understand our financial performance as compared with results from previous periods. However, analysis of results via this financial measure should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP. Reported and adjusted EBITDA do not include, among other things, cash requirements for capital expenditures and working capital, or interest expense in relation to our debt facilities. Therefore, reported and adjusted EBITDA may have certain limitations in analyzing our financial results. Additionally, because these measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS EBITDA
The following tables provide an analysis of reported EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated and regional basis for the three months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, as well as the twelve months ended April 30, 2021 which includes both predecessor and successor periods:

INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense increased by $22.2 million to $39.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $17.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, primarily due to borrowings under the Asset Based Credit Agreement in conjunction with the Apollo Merger (see Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion).
OTHER EXPENSE, NET
Other expense, net, consists primarily of discounts on the sale of accounts receivable, net foreign currency exchange gains and losses on certain financing transactions and the related derivative instruments used to hedge such financing transactions, interest income and gains and losses on the investments that were contained within life insurance policies used to fund our nonqualified deferred compensation plan. Other expense, net, decreased to $2.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $8.9 million in the first quarter of the prior year, primarily due to a decline in the prior year in the fair value of investments contained within life insurance policies and an overall decrease in hedging costs.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The following tables provide a comparison of our provision for income taxes and our effective tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020:

Effective tax rate |
(845.5 | )% | 20.1 | % |
Income taxes decreased to $2.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $12.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The decrease in the provision for income taxes for the three months ended April 30, 2021, as compared to the prior year is primarily due to a decrease in taxable earnings. The Company had a provision for income taxes of $2.8 million on a loss before income taxes of $0.3 million for the three months ended April 30, 2021 which results in a negative effective tax rate. The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 2021, as compared to the prior year, is primarily due to the impact of operating losses within certain tax jurisdictions in which we operate and the impact of certain discrete tax items.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our discussion of liquidity and capital resources includes an analysis of our cash flows and capital structure for all periods presented.
As a distribution company, our business requires significant investment in working capital, particularly accounts receivable and inventory, partially financed through our accounts payable to vendors. An important driver of our operating cash flows is our cash conversion cycle (also referred to as net cash days). Our net cash days are defined as days of sales outstanding in accounts receivable (DSO) plus days of supply on hand in inventory (DOS), less days of purchases outstanding in accounts payable (DPO). The following tables present the components of our cash conversion cycle, in days, as of April 30, 2021 and 2020, and January 31, 2021 and 2020:

The increase in cash used in operating activities of approximately $681.8 million is primarily due to the impact of lower net working capital as of January 31, 2021, including the timing of payments to vendors. The change in cash flows from investing activities of $68.0 million is primarily due to $44.4 million of proceeds from the settlement of our net investment hedges in the prior year and $14.1 million cash paid for the acquisition of Finance Technology AS in the current quarter. The change in cash flows from financing activities of $117.8 million is primarily due to borrowings on our revolving credit loans.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND DEBT COMPLIANCE
As part of our capital structure and to provide us with significant liquidity, we have a diverse range of financing facilities across our geographic regions with various financial institutions. Also providing us liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents balances across our regions which are deposited and/or invested with various financial institutions. We are exposed to risk of loss on funds deposited with these financial institutions; however, we monitor our financing and depository financial institution partners regularly for credit quality. Our liquidity is subject to many factors, including the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on financial markets; however, we believe that our existing sources of liquidity, including our financing facilities, trade credit from vendors, cash resources, as well as cash expected to be provided by operating activities will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs and cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.
We currently have sufficient resources, cash flows and liquidity within the U.S. to fund current and expected future working capital requirements. However, during fiscal 2021 we were able to repatriate foreign cash, along with the majority of our remaining foreign earnings which have been previously taxed, with minimal additional tax consequences. We plan to continue reinvesting future foreign earnings indefinitely outside the U.S. Any future remittances of foreign cash could be subject to additional foreign withholding tax, U.S. state taxes and certain tax impacts relating to foreign currency exchange effects.
For a discussion of our various financing arrangements, refer to Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accounts receivable purchase agreements
We have uncommitted accounts receivable purchase agreements under which certain accounts receivable may be sold, without recourse, to third-party financial institutions. Under these programs, we may sell certain accounts receivable in exchange for cash less a discount, as defined in the agreements. Available capacity under these programs, which we use as a source of working capital funding, is dependent on the level of accounts receivable eligible to be sold into these programs and the financial institutions willingness to purchase such receivables, which may be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, certain of these agreements also require that we continue to service, administer and collect the sold accounts receivable. At April 30, 2021 and January 31, 2021, we had a total of $633.5 million and $691.9 million, respectively, of accounts receivable sold to and held by financial institutions under these agreements. During the three months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, discount fees recorded under these facilities were $2.4 million and $3.1 million, respectively. These discount fees are included as a component of other expense, net in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Technology Solutions Standalone Twelve-Months ended May 31, 2021 Statement of Operations Data
The statement of operations data for SYNNEX Technology Solutions Standalone for the twelve months ended May 31, 2021, are unaudited and was derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of SYNNEX for the corresponding period, adjusted to exclude the results of the Concentrix customer experience business to reflect for the full period presenting the separation of the Concentrix business that was completed on December 1, 2020 by the distribution of one hundred percent of the outstanding common stock of Concentrix Corporation to our stockholders.
The information presented below is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in any future period, and is not necessarily indicative of results for SYNNEX full fiscal year. The Technology Solutions Standalone Twelve-Months ended May 31, 2021 Statement of Operations Data does not reflect the impact of the proposed acquisition and related financing and re-financings transactions or any synergies that may be achieved from such transactions, and is not indicative of results that would have been reported had such transactions occurred as of the dates indicated. The fiscal year of SYNNEX ends on November 30 of each year.

SYNNEX defines EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents reported EBITDA as further adjusted for the line items listed in the table below. For the six-month periods ended May 31, 2021 and 2020 and the twelve-month period ended May 31, 2021, Adjusted EBITDA excluded other expense, net, transaction-related and integration expenses, share-based compensation expense and income from discontinued operations, net of taxes. For the fiscal years ended November 30, 2020 and 2019, Adjusted EBITDA excluded other income (expense), net and transaction-related and integration expenses. SYNNEX believes that providing this additional information is useful to the reader to better assess and understand our base operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods and for planning and forecasting in future periods, primarily because management typically monitors the business adjusted for these items in addition to GAAP results. SYNNEX management also uses these non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals and, in some cases, for measuring performance for compensation purposes. As these non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures and should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with data presented in accordance with GAAP. |

On December 1, 2020, SYNNEX completed the separation of its Concentrix business from SYNNEX (the Separation). The information in the table below shows the historical results of operations of SYNNEX after giving effect to the Separation. In addition, as shown below, SYNNEX defines Segment Adjusted EBITDA for its Technology segment as operating income before acquisition-related and integration expenses, amortization of intangibles, share-based compensation and depreciation as shown in the table below. For the twelve-month period ended May 31, 2021, we also show Combined Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents the mathematical sum of Segment Adjusted EBITDA for SYNNEX for the twelve-month period ended May 31, 2021 and Adjusted EBITDA for Tiger Parent for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2021. Combined Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a matter of convenience to investors. Combined Adjusted EBITDA is not derived from pro forma financial information prepared on the basis of GAAP, SEC rules and regulations or any other standard, and as such it does not reflect all adjustments that would be reflected in pro forma financial information that gives effect to the Transactions. This measure also includes an estimated $100.0 million of expected cost synergies generated in the first year after the closing of the Merger. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures. The following table provides a reconciliation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Combined Adjusted EBITDA to operating income, the most comparable GAAP measure.

Exhibit 99.3
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on and has been derived from the continuing operations of the historical consolidated financial statements of SYNNEX and Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation (Tiger Parent). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are prepared as a business combination and SYNNEX has been treated as the acquirer in the merger for accounting purposes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations give effect to the proposed acquisition and financing and re-financing transactions (the Transactions) as if they had occurred on December 1, 2019, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on May 31, 2021.
The SYNNEX column in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020 was derived from the consolidated statement of operations included elsewhere in this current report, but excluding the Concentrix business that was separated from SYNNEX pursuant to the separation of its customer experience services business (the Separation). The Tiger Parent column in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the twelve months ended January 31, 2021 was derived by combining the predecessor consolidated statement of operations for the period from February 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 with the successor consolidated statement of operations for the period from July 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021, all of which are included elsewhere in the periodic reports filed by SYNNEX. The SYNNEX column in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended May 31, 2021 was derived from the interim consolidated statement of operations included elsewhere in SYNNEX public reports. The Tiger Parent column in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended April 30, 2021 was derived from the unaudited successor consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2021 included elsewhere in this current report and the successor results of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2021.
SYNNEX and Tiger Parent have different fiscal years. SYNNEX fiscal year ends on November 30, whereas Tiger Parents fiscal year ends on January 31. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and statements of operations have been prepared utilizing period ends that differ by less than 93 days, as permitted by Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of May 31, 2021 combines SYNNEX balance sheet as of May 31, 2021 with the Tiger Parent balance sheet as of April 30, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended November 30, 2020 combines continuing operations for the year ended November 30, 2020 for SYNNEX and the combined predecessor and successor operations for the twelve months ended January 31, 2021 for Tiger Parent. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended May 31, 2021 combines continuing operations for the six months ended May 31, 2021 for SYNNEX and the successor results of operations for the six months ended April 30, 2021 for Tiger Parent.
As of the date of this current report, SYNNEX has not completed the detailed valuation studies necessary to arrive at final estimates of the fair market value of Tiger Parents assets to be acquired and the liabilities to be assumed and the related allocations of purchase price, nor has it identified all adjustments necessary to conform Tiger Parent to SYNNEX accounting policies. Based on information currently available, SYNNEX has made certain adjustments to the historical book values of the assets and liabilities of Tiger Parent to reflect preliminary estimates of fair values necessary to prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, with the excess of the purchase price over the adjusted historical net assets of Tiger Parent recorded as goodwill. Actual results may differ from unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information provided herein once the acquisition is completed and SYNNEX has determined the final purchase price for Tiger Parent, has completed the valuation studies necessary to finalize the required purchase price allocations and has identified any additional conforming accounting policy changes for Tiger Parent. There can be no assurance that such finalization will not result in material changes.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations have been prepared to reflect adjustments to SYNNEX historical consolidated financial information that are (i) directly attributable to the acquisition of Tiger Parent, (ii) factually supportable and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income, expected to have a continuing impact on the operating results of the combined company.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared by SYNNEX in accordance with Regulation S-X Article 11, Pro Forma Financial Information, as amended by the final rule, Amendments to Financial Disclosures About Acquired and Disposed Businesses, as adopted by the SEC on May 21, 2020 (Article 11). The pro forma financial information, based on various adjustments and assumptions, is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what SYNNEX consolidated statements of operations or consolidated balance sheet actually
1
would have been had the Transactions been completed as of the dates presented or will be for any future periods. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of SYNNEX following the completion of the Transactions and does not include the realization of cost savings from operating efficiencies, revenue synergies or other integration costs expected to result from the Transactions. The pro forma financial information does not include adjustments to reflect any potential synergies or dis-synergies cost in connection with the Transactions. Assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

NOTES TO THE SYNNEX UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except for per share amounts and as otherwise stated, currency and share amounts in thousands)
(amounts may not add or compute due to rounding)
Note 1. Description of the Transaction
On March 22, 2021, SYNNEX, Spire Sub I, Inc. (Spire Sub I), Spire Sub II, LLC (Spire Sub II), and Tiger Parent (AP) Corporation (which we refer to as Tiger Parent), which is the parent corporation of Tech Data Corporation (Tech Data), entered into an agreement and plan of merger, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Spire Sub I will merge with and into Tiger Parent, with the resulting company surviving the initial merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SYNNEX, followed immediately by the merger of this combined corporation with and into Spire Sub II. Upon the closing of the transaction, this surviving company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of SYNNEX (which we refer to as the Merger).
On June 30, 2020, affiliates of certain funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management Inc. (which we refer to as Apollo) acquired Tech Data. Upon completion of the Merger, affiliates of Apollo collectively will receive (1) $1,610,000 in cash plus (2) 44,000 shares of common stock of SYNNEX.
The aggregate purchase consideration in the Merger is based on an estimated SYNNEX closing price and cash consideration aggregating to $6,980,200 (see Note 3).
To finance the Merger and repay certain indebtedness, SYNNEX has obtained long-term term financing commitments of $7,500,000 in the aggregate (see Note 5A).
Note 2. Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of SYNNEX and Tiger Parent, but excluding the Concentrix business unit that was separated from SYNNEX pursuant to the Separation. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are prepared as a business combination using the acquisition method, and SYNNEX has been treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations have been prepared as if SYNNEX acquisition of Tiger Parent had been completed on December 1, 2019, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet has been prepared as if SYNNEX acquisition of Tiger Parent had been completed on May 31, 2021.
As of the date of this current report, SYNNEX has not performed the detailed valuation studies necessary to arrive at the final estimates of the fair value of the Tiger Parent assets to be acquired, the liabilities to be assumed and the related allocations of purchase price. As indicated in Note 5 to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, SYNNEX has made certain adjustments to the historical book values of the assets and liabilities of Tiger Parent to reflect preliminary estimates of fair value necessary to prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, with the excess of the purchase price over the adjusted historical net assets of Tiger Parent, recorded as goodwill. Actual results may differ from these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements once the Merger is completed and SYNNEX has determined the final purchase price for Tiger Parent and has completed the valuation studies necessary to finalize the required purchase price allocations and identified any additional conforming accounting policy changes for Tiger Parent. There can be no assurance that such finalization will not result in material changes.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations have been prepared to reflect adjustments to SYNNEX historical consolidated financial information that are (i) directly attributable to the acquisition of Tiger Parent, (ii) factually supportable and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income, expected to have a continuing impact on the operating results of the combined company.
7
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not give effect to any cost savings from operating efficiencies, revenue synergies or costs for the integration of SYNNEX and Tiger Parents operations. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations of SYNNEX would have been had the Merger occurred on the dates assumed, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position. Although SYNNEX projects that significant cost savings will result from the Merger, there can be no assurance that these cost savings will be achieved. Any restructuring or integration costs will be expensed in the appropriate accounting periods after completion of the Merger.
Accounting Periods Presented
SYNNEX and Tiger Parent have different fiscal years. SYNNEX fiscal year ends on November 30, whereas Tiger Parents fiscal year ends on January 31. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and statements of operations have been prepared utilizing period ends that differ by less than 93 days, as permitted by Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of May 31, 2021 is presented as if the acquisition and issuance of SYNNEX common stock to the Tiger Parent stockholder had occurred on May 31, 2021 and combines SYNNEX balance sheet as of May 31, 2021 with the Tiger Parent balance sheet as of April 30, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended November 30, 2020 combines the historical results from continuing operations of SYNNEX for the year ended November 30, 2020 and the combined historical results of Tiger Parent predecessor and successor entities for the twelve months ended January 31, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended May 31, 2021 combines continuing operations for the six months ended May 31, 2021 for SYNNEX and the successor results of operations for the six months ended April 30, 2021 for Tiger Parent.
Conforming Accounting Policies
Certain reclassifications have been made to Tiger Parents historical financial statements to conform to the presentation used in SYNNEX historical financial information. Such reclassifications had no effect on Tiger Parents previously reported financial position or results of operations. The pro forma financial data may not reflect all reclassifications necessary to conform Tiger Parents presentation to that of SYNNEX due to limitations on the availability of information as of the date of this current report. At completion of the Merger, SYNNEX will review Tiger Parents accounting policies. As a result of that review, SYNNEX may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the combined financial statements. At this time, SYNNEX is not aware of any differences that would have a material impact on the combined financial statements, and therefore, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements assume there are no differences in accounting policies.
Note 3. Estimated Purchase Price
The estimated purchase price allocation included with these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements is based upon an estimated purchase price using the closing price of SYNNEX common stock on July 1, 2021. If the price of a share of SYNNEX common stock on the date the Merger is completed has increased or decreased by 30% from the price assumed in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the consideration transferred would increase or decrease by approximately $1,611,060, which would be reflected in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements as an increase or decrease to goodwill. The estimated purchase consideration, together with a sensitivity analysis for the range of potential outcomes based upon variations in the recent stock price, is calculated as follows:

It is assumed that all shares of SYNNEX common stock issued will be new issuances. However, SYNNEX may issue treasury shares for a portion of the required shares of SYNNEX common stock.
Certain Tiger Holdings outstanding long-term cash incentive and awards of stock-based partnership units estimated to aggregate approximately $67,000 will be settled upon closing. At July 1, 2021, SYNNEX is unable to reasonably estimate the respective amounts attributable to pre- and post-Merger services. Additionally, Tiger Holdings unvested stock-based partnership units awarded to Tech Data employees, with an estimated fair value of approximately $95,000 and a remaining vesting period of up to two years, will be converted into or redeemed for shares of SYNNEX stock with equivalent vesting terms. The fair value attributable to post-Merger services will be recorded as compensation expense in SYNNEX post-Merger financial statements. At this time, SYNNEX is unable to reasonably estimate the respective amounts attributable to pre- and post-Merger services. The estimated 1,405 shares to be issued to the holders of such partnership units are included in the 44,000 shares above.
Note 4. Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the date of the Merger. The pro forma purchase price allocation below is based on preliminary estimates of fair value as of July 1, 2021, using the historical balance sheet of Tiger Parent as of April 30, 2021. As of the date of this current report, SYNNEX has not completed the detailed valuation studies necessary to arrive at the required estimates of the fair value of Tiger Parents assets to be acquired and the liabilities to be assumed and the related allocations of purchase price. Therefore, the allocation of the purchase price to acquired intangible assets is based on preliminary fair value estimates and is subject to final management analysis, with the assistance of third-party valuation advisors, following the completion of the Merger. The estimated intangible asset values and their useful lives could be affected by a variety of factors that may become known to SYNNEX only upon access to additional information and/or changes in these factors that may occur prior to the Effective Time of the Merger. The preliminary estimated intangible assets consist of customer relationships with an estimated weighted average useful life of fourteen years and indefinite lived trade names. The estimated fair values of the intangibles were based on the purchase price allocation in the June 30, 2020 acquisition of Tech Data by Apollo. Additional intangible asset classes may be identified as the valuation process continues.

Note 5. Pro Forma Adjustments
(A) The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet has been adjusted as indicated below to record the issuance of SYNNEX term loans, net of debt issuance costs, an increase in Tiger Parent equity prior to the completion of the Merger and cash payments to the Tiger Parent stockholder. To finance the Merger, repay certain indebtedness and for on-going operational requirements, SYNNEX has obtained financing commitments aggregating $7,500,000. The commitments include a five-year credit facility comprising a term loan of $1,500,000 and an unsecured revolving line of credit facility of $3,500,000. The remaining $2,500,000 of bridge financing commitments, which are syndicated to a number of financial institutions are expected to be replaced by the issuance of unsecured notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet assumes that unsecured notes of $2,500,000 would be entered into with an assumed blended interest rate of 2.28%, including estimated debt issuance cost. Debt issuance cost related to the refinanced term loans of $1,500,000 and new revolving lines of credit facilities of $3,500,000 are estimated to result in additional interest expense of approximately 14 basis points. As SYNNEX has used interest rate derivative contracts to economically convert these variable-rate term loans to fixed-rate debt, there is no material impact on the combined interest cost. The write-off of deferred financing costs of $2,675 has been recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings, net of tax in the May 31, 2021 unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and has been recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt in other income (expense), net in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the twelve months ended November 30, 2020.

Estimated goodwill | Net adjustment | ||||||||||
Goodwill (see Note 4 above) |
$ | 1,549,487 | $ | 5,322,535 | $ | 3,773,048 |
(C) Upon completion of the Merger, identifiable intangible assets are required to be measured at fair value, and these acquired assets could include assets that are not intended to be used or sold or that are intended to be used in a manner other than their highest and best use. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is determined primarily using variations of the income approach, which is based on the present value of the future after-tax cash flows attributable to each identifiable intangible asset. Other valuation methods, including the market approach and cost approach, are also considered in estimating the fair value.
These preliminary estimates of fair value and weighted-average useful life may be different from the amounts included in the final acquisition accounting, and the difference could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. Once SYNNEX has full access to information about Tiger Parents intangible assets, additional insight will be gained that could impact (i) the estimated total value assigned to identifiable intangible assets and/or (ii) the estimated weighted-average useful life of each category of intangible assets. The estimated intangible asset values and their useful lives could be impacted by a variety of factors that may become known to SYNNEX only upon access to additional information and/or by changes in such factors that may occur prior to completion of the Merger. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in the regulatory, legislative, legal, technological and/or competitive environments. Increased knowledge about these and/or other elements could result in a change to the estimated fair value of the identifiable Tiger Parent intangible assets and/or to the estimated weighted-average useful lives from what SYNNEX has assumed in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The combined effect of any such changes could then also result in a significant increase or decrease to SYNNEX estimate of associated amortization expense.
Included in Tiger Parents combined predecessor and successor statement of operations for the twelve months ended January 31, 2021 used in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended November 30, 2020 is amortization of intangible assets from the date of the acquisition of Tech Data by Apollo. This adjustment is recorded to increase the amortization of intangible assets to reflect the full year impact of the Merger.
(D) The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet has been adjusted to reclassify Tiger Parents deferred tax assets and liabilities recorded in other assets, net and other long-term liabilities respectively in conformity with SYNNEX classification of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet has been adjusted to reclassify Tiger Parents receivables from vendors recorded as an offset within accounts payable in conformity with SYNNEX classification of receivables from vendors.
(E) Total estimated non-recurring acquisition-related transaction costs to be incurred by SYNNEX and Tiger Parent are approximately $64,000 to complete the Merger. These costs primarily relate to professional fees associated with regulatory filings and Merger activities. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the twelve months ended November 30, 2020 has been adjusted to record estimated non-recurring costs of $64,000 in selling, general and administrative expenses. To the extent the estimated Tiger Parent costs are incurred prior to the closing of the Merger, these costs will not form part of the combined retained earnings as Tiger Parents historical shareholders equity accounts will be eliminated upon acquisition (see Note 5G). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of May 31, 2021 has been adjusted to record estimated acquisition-related costs of $64,000 as a reduction to cash. A corresponding tax benefit of $8,000 has been recorded in income taxes payable, with the net of tax impact presented as a decrease to retained earnings.
11
(F) As of the completion of the Merger, SYNNEX will establish net deferred tax liabilities and make other tax adjustments as part of the accounting for the Merger, primarily related to estimated fair value adjustments for identifiable intangible assets. Deferred taxes are recognized for the temporary difference between assigned values in the purchase price allocation and the carryover tax bases of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The pro forma adjustments to record the effect of deferred taxes was computed as follows:
Estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets to be acquired as of April 30, 2021 |
$ | 2,932,288 | ||
|
|

|
|
|||
Deferred taxes associated with the estimated fair value adjustments of assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed |
$ | (235,814 | ) | |

(1) |
SYNNEX assumed a 25% tax rate when estimating the deferred tax impacts of the acquisition, which is based on the applicable statutory rate as of the assumed acquisition date and appropriately reflects certain SYNNEX and Tiger Parent bases differences that will not result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years when the related financial reporting asset or liability will be recovered or settled. |
(G) The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet has been adjusted to eliminate Tiger Parents historical shareholders equity accounts.
(H) Reflects elimination of management fee paid by Tiger Parent subsequent to the acquisition of Tech Data by Apollo. Such fees are not payable upon completion of the Merger.
(I) The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations have been adjusted to record estimated additional interest expense related to the estimated $2,500,000 of borrowings that will be used by SYNNEX to fund the Merger (see Note 5(A)). The blended interest rate on the notes expected to be issued is assumed to be 2.28%, including debt issuance cost. In addition, debt issuance cost related to the refinanced term loans of $1,500,000 and new revolving lines of credit facilities of $3,500,000 are estimated to result in additional interest expense of approximately 14 basis points.
SYNNEX estimates additional interest expense of $45,000 and $38,000 in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the twelve months ended November 30, 2020, related to the amortization of debt issuance costs associated with the bridge financing expected to be issued to partially fund the Merger and the fees pertaining to extinguishment of the Tiger Parent Senior Notes, respectively. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of May 31, 2021 has been adjusted to reflect the net of tax ($20,750) impact as a decrease to retained earnings. SYNNEX also estimates a reduction in interest expense to eliminate Tiger Parents historical interest costs.

A 1/8% variance in variable interest rate related to the term loan to finance the Merger would impact income from continuing operations by an increase or decrease of $6,978 for the year ended November 30, 2020 and $3,378 for the six months ended May 31, 2021, respectively.
(J) The unaudited pro forma statements of operations have been adjusted to reflect the aggregate pro forma income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments above. SYNNEX assumed a blended tax rate of 25% for both the year ended November 30, 2020 and six months ended May 31, 2021, when estimating the tax impact of the Merger, representing the federal statutory tax rate applicable to each period and exclusion of any state tax impacts that are unknown as of the date of this current report. Such unknown amounts are expected to be immaterial. The pro forma combined provision for income taxes does not reflect the amounts that would have resulted had SYNNEX and Tiger Parent filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented. The blended tax rates are estimates and do not take into account future income tax strategies that may be applied to the combined entity. The effective tax rate of the combined company could be significantly different depending upon post-Merger activities of the combined company.
(K) Pro forma combined weighted average basic and diluted common shares outstanding for the year ended November 30, 2020 and the six months ended May 31, 2021 were calculated using the SYNNEX weighted average basic and diluted common shares outstanding at those dates together with the 44,000 shares of SYNNEX common stock assumed to be issued as partial consideration for the Merger, as follows:

Non-GAAP Diluted Pro Forma Combined EPS
In addition to disclosing basic and diluted pro forma combined EPS in accordance with Article 11, SYNNEX has also disclosed below non-GAAP diluted pro forma combined EPS, which is diluted pro forma combined EPS excluding the per share, tax effected impact of (i) transaction-related and integration expenses, (ii) amortization of intangible assets and (iii) share-based compensation. Management believes that providing this additional information is useful to the reader to better assess and understand the combined entitys base operating performance and for planning and forecasting in future periods, primarily because management typically monitors the business adjusted for these items in addition to GAAP results. Management also uses non-GAAP EPS to establish operational goals and, in some cases, for measuring performance for compensation purposes. As non-GAAP diluted pro forma combined EPS is not calculated in accordance with Article 11, it may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measure and should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with data presented in accordance with GAAP.
Additionally, SYNNEX expects to achieve synergy savings of $200 million by the end of the second year after the closing of the Merger. SYNNEX anticipates realizing $100 million of these synergies by the end of the first year and $200 million of these synergies by the end of the second year. The anticipated synergies are expected to be generated from Tiger Parents ongoing GBO 2 Program initiatives and deal related synergies. The table below presents $100 million of first year savings as if they had occurred as of December 1, 2019.

Diluted EPS is calculated using the two-class method. Unvested restricted stock awards granted to employees are considered participating securities. For purposes of calculating Diluted EPS, pro forma combined income from continuing operations allocated to participating securities was approximately 0.6% of pro forma combined income from continuing operations for both the year ended November 30, 2020 and the six months ended May 31, 2021, respectively. |

Included within the Tiger Parent pro forma combined Predecessor and Successor earnings for the year ended January 31, 2021 are $88.9 million of purchase accounting adjustments primarily related to certain consideration received from vendors and $48.1 million of legal settlements and other litigation related costs primarily related to an accrual for a legal matter in France and legal fees for various one-time matters. Included within the Tiger Parent earnings for the six months ended April 30, 2021 are $66.1 million of purchase accounting adjustments primarily related to certain consideration received from vendors and $0.2 million of legal settlements and other litigation related costs primarily for various one-time matters. The purchase accounting adjustments and legal settlements and other litigation related costs reduced diluted pro forma combined EPS, after tax, by approximately $0.70 and $0.38, respectively, for the year ended November 30, 2020 and $0.52 and less than $0.01, respectively, for the six months ended May 31, 2021. We consider these items to be non-recurring. |

The tax effect of taxable and deductible non-GAAP adjustments was calculated assuming a blended tax rate of 25% for both the year ended November 30, 2020 and the six months ended May 31, 2021. |
(L) The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not present a combined dividend per share amount. SYNNEX currently pays a quarterly dividend on shares of SYNNEX common stock and last paid a dividend on April 30, 2021 of $0.20 per share. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, during the period prior to completion of the Merger, SYNNEX ability to issue dividends outside its normal practice or repurchase shares of common stock is limited. The dividend policy of SYNNEX following completion of the Merger will be determined by the SYNNEX Board.
Note 6. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements assume that the Merger qualifies as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes.
