PROXY STATEMENT

INFORMATION CONCERNING VOTING AND SOLICITATION

This Proxy Statement is being furnished to you in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of SYNNEX Corporation, a Delaware corporation, or SYNNEX, of proxies to be used at the 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held at our offices at 3797 Spinnaker Court, Fremont, California, at 9:30 a.m., Pacific Time, on Thursday, March 25, 2004 and any adjournments or postponements thereof. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy card are being mailed to stockholders on or about March 1, 2004.

Appointment of Proxy Holders

Your Board of Directors asks you to appoint Robert Huang, Dennis Polk and Simon Leung as your proxy holders to vote your shares at the 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. You make this appointment by voting the enclosed proxy card using one of the voting methods described below.

If appointed by you, the proxy holders will vote your shares as you direct on the matters described in this Proxy Statement. In the absence of your direction, they will vote your shares as recommended by your Board.

Unless you otherwise indicate on the proxy card, you also authorize your proxy holders to vote your shares on any matters not known by your Board at the time this Proxy Statement was printed and which, under our Bylaws, may be properly presented for action at the Annual Meeting.

Who Can Vote

Only stockholders who owned shares of our common stock at the close of business on February 13, 2004, the record date for the Annual Meeting, can vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the close of business on February 13, 2004, we had 26,207,900 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held as of February 13, 2004. There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors.

How You Can Vote

You may vote your shares at the Annual Meeting either in person or by mail as described below. Stockholders holding shares through a bank or broker should follow the voting instructions on the form of proxy card received.

Voting by Mail. You may vote by proxy by dating, signing and returning your proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. Giving a proxy will not affect your right to vote your shares if you attend the Annual Meeting and want to vote in person.

Voting at the Annual Meeting. Voting by mail will not limit your right to vote at the Annual Meeting, if you decide to attend in person. Your Board recommends that you vote by mail, as it is not practical for most stockholders to attend the Annual Meeting. If you hold shares through a bank or broker, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the bank or broker to be able to vote at the Annual Meeting.

If you submit your proxy, but do not mark your voting preference, the proxy holders will vote your shares FOR the election of the nominees for director and FOR the ratification of the appointment of independent auditors.

Revocation of Proxies

Stockholders can revoke their proxies at any time before they are exercised in any of three ways:

•

by voting in person at the Annual Meeting;

•

by submitting written notice of revocation to the Corporate Secretary prior to the Annual Meeting; or

•

by submitting another proxy of a later date prior to the Annual Meeting that is properly executed.

Required Vote

Directors are elected by a plurality vote, which means that the six nominees receiving the most affirmative votes will be elected. All other matters submitted for stockholder approval require the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote.

A quorum, which is a majority of the outstanding shares as of February 13, 2004, must be present to hold the Annual Meeting. A quorum is calculated based on the number of shares represented by the stockholders attending in person and by their proxy holders. If you indicate an abstention as your voting preference, your shares will be counted toward a quorum but they will not be voted on the matter.

Abstentions on any matters are treated as shares present or represented and entitled to vote on that matter and have the same effect as a vote against such matter.

If a broker indicates on the enclosed proxy card or its substitute that such broker does not have discretionary authority to vote on a particular matter (broker non-votes), those shares will be considered as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but will not be treated as shares entitled to vote on that matter.

Solicitation of Proxies

SYNNEX will pay the cost of printing and mailing proxy materials. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, solicitation may be made by our directors, officers and other employees by personal interview, telephone or facsimile. No additional compensation will be paid to these persons for solicitation. We will reimburse brokerage firms and others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to beneficial owners of our common stock.

Important

Please promptly vote and submit your proxy by signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-prepaid return envelope so that your shares can be voted. This will not limit your rights to attend or vote at the Annual Meeting.

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Directors and Nominees

At the Annual Meeting, six persons will be elected as members of your Board of Directors, each for a one-year term or until their successors are elected and qualified.

Directors’ Compensation

Each non-employee member of your Board of Directors receives a cash bonus of $25,000 upon joining the Board (prorated if he or she joins mid-year) and then receives an annual cash retainer fee of $25,000. For fiscal year 2003, each non-employee director also received an additional $1,000 for each meeting of the Board of Directors attended and $2,000 for each committee meeting attended. For fiscal year 2004, each non-employee director receives an additional $2,000 for each meeting of the Board of Directors attended, $2,000 for each committee meeting attended in-person, and $500 for each committee meeting attended by telephone, video or other non-in-person attendance. In addition, each committee chair receives an annual retainer fee of $5,000. All directors are reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in serving on the Board of Directors or any committee of the Board of Directors. Directors had previously been eligible to receive stock options under our 1997 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan and our Special Executive Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan. Currently, directors are eligible to receive equity incentives, in the form of stock options and/or direct stock issuances, under our 2003 Stock Incentive Plan.

On the date of each annual stockholders meeting, each of our continuing non-employee Board members will receive an option to purchase 5,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the automatic option grant program under our 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, provided such individual has served on the Board for at least six months. Each non-employee director who is first elected as a non-employee Board member and who has not been in our prior employ will receive an option to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock on the date he or she joins the Board. The options will have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date, and will have a term of 10 years, subject to earlier termination following the director’s cessation of Board service. The shares subject to each annual 5,000 share automatic option grant and the shares subject to each initial 25,000 share automatic option grant will vest over five years at a rate of 20% upon the first anniversary of their vesting start dates and then at a rate of 1/60th per month thereafter. Before adoption of our 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, options were generally granted to non-employee directors for the same number of shares and subject to the same basic terms as described above.

In fiscal year 2003, Matthew Miau received a $4,000 retainer, $3,000 for Board meeting fees and a 150,000 share option grant. Mr. Miau also received $550,000 for extraordinary services as our Chairman and for services as a non-officer employee. The services performed by Mr. Miau were beyond those typically provided by a non-executive chairman. For example, in 2002 and 2003, Mr. Miau was actively involved in marketing and new business development activities for us. During this period, he participated in meetings with certain existing and potential customers. Mr. Miau also participated in meetings assisting our management in the oversight of business and financial strategies. In addition, Mr. Miau has played an integral role in the collaborative effort of MiTAC International Corporation and SYNNEX in the contract assembly business. For fiscal year 2004, the Compensation Committee has recommended and the Board of Directors has approved a $225,000 retainer and a

50,000 share option grant for Mr. Miau. Mr. Miau’s fiscal year 2004 compensation is based primarily upon his non-executive back-up role to Mr. Huang in the event Mr. Huang were unable to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer and certain time commitments devoted to SYNNEX as Chairman of SYNNEX. Any future compensation payable to Mr. Miau will be based upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee and subject to the approval of the Board of Directors. In fiscal year 2003, Mr. Breidenbach received a $25,000 retainer, $14,000 for Board and committee meeting fees and a 25,000 share option grant.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee provides assistance to the Board of Directors in fulfilling its legal and fiduciary obligations in matters involving SYNNEX’s accounting, auditing, financial reporting, internal control and legal compliance functions by approving the services performed by SYNNEX’s independent accountants and reviewing their reports regarding SYNNEX’s accounting practices and systems of internal accounting controls as set forth in a written charter adopted by your Board of Directors. The Audit Committee Charter is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A. SYNNEX’s management is responsible for preparing SYNNEX’s financial statements and the independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the conduct of these activities by SYNNEX’s management and the independent auditors.

In this context, the Audit Committee has met and held discussions with management and the independent auditors. Management represented to the Audit Committee that SYNNEX’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the independent auditors.

The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 and No. 90 (Communication With Audit Committees), as amended. In addition, the independent auditors provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the Audit Committee and the independent auditors have discussed the auditors’ independence from SYNNEX and its management, including the matters in those written disclosures. Additionally, the Audit Committee considered whether the provision of non-audit services was compatible with maintaining the auditor’s independence. The Audit Committee has discussed with management the procedures for selection of consultants and the related competitive bidding practices and fully considered whether those services provided by the independent auditors are compatible with maintaining auditor independence.

The Audit Committee has discussed with SYNNEX’s internal and independent auditors, with and without management present, their evaluations of SYNNEX’s internal accounting controls and the overall quality of SYNNEX’s financial reporting.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions with management and the independent auditors referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board has approved, the inclusion of the audited financial statements in SYNNEX’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2003, for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee also recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board has approved, subject to stockholder ratification, the selection of SYNNEX’s independent auditors.

Respectfully submitted on February 17, 2004, by the members of the Audit Committee of your Board:

Mr. Dwight Steffensen, Chairman

Mr. Fred Breidenbach

Mr. David Rynne

Indebtedness of Management

In December 2001, Mr. Huang, our President and Chief Executive Officer, borrowed $1.1 million from us pursuant to a secured full recourse promissory note with interest at the rate of 7% per annum. The note was secured by a deed of trust on real property owned by Mr. Huang. In fiscal year 2003, the largest principal amount outstanding under this note was $1,100,000. On December 31, 2002, Mr. Huang repaid the remaining balance of both notes.

In January 2002, Mr. Larocque, our Executive Vice President, Distribution, borrowed $200,000 from us pursuant to a secured full recourse promissory note. The note beared interest at the rate of 7% per annum. The note was due on or before January 25, 2017. The note was secured by a deed of trust on real property owned by Mr. Larocque. In fiscal year 2003, the largest principal amount outstanding under this note was $200,000. On August 29, 2003, Mr. Larocque repaid the note.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Business Relationships and Agreements with MiTAC International Corporation. We have a business relationship with MiTAC International Corporation that began in 1992 when it, through its affiliates, became our primary investor.

We work closely with MiTAC International to collaborate on OEM outsourcing opportunities and jointly market MiTAC International’s design and electronic manufacturing services and our contract assembly capabilities. This relationship has enabled us to build relationships with MiTAC International’s customers and we continue to work with and depend on MiTAC International to jointly serve our shared customers.

In fiscal years 2001, 2002 and 2003, we purchased inventories, including notebook computers, motherboard and other peripherals, from MiTAC International and its affiliates totaling approximately $236.0 million, $142.4 million and $214.2 million, respectively. Our sales to MiTAC International and its affiliates during fiscal years 2001, 2002 and 2003, totaled approximately $4.7 million, $2.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Our business relationship to date with MiTAC International has been informal and is not governed by long-term commitments or arrangements with respect to pricing terms, revenue or capacity commitments. Accordingly, we negotiate manufacturing and pricing terms, including allocating customer revenue, on a case-by-case basis with MiTAC International and our assembly customers for a given project. Our business relationship with MiTAC International has been and will continue to be negotiated as related parties and therefore may not be the result of arms’-length negotiations between independent parties. Our relationship, including pricing and other material terms with our shared customers or with MiTAC International, may or may not be as advantageous to us as the terms we could have negotiated with unaffiliated third parties. We believe that the terms of these services in the aggregate are at least as favorable to us as those we could have obtained from unrelated third parties through arms’-length negotiations. We have adopted a policy requiring material transactions in which any of our directors has a potential conflict of interest to be approved by our Audit Committee, which is composed of disinterested members of the Board. Notwithstanding this policy, MiTAC International can generally control us and can determine the outcome of all matters submitted for stockholder approval.

Joint Sales and Marketing Agreement with MiTAC International. In May 2002, we entered into a joint sales and marketing agreement with MiTAC International. Pursuant to the agreement, both parties agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to promote the other party’s capabilities to their respective customers who are interested in such product offerings. This agreement does not provide for the terms upon which we negotiate manufacturing and pricing terms, including allocating customer revenue. To date, these negotiations have been on a case-by-case basis. There are no sales attributable to the joint marketing agreement. The agreement had an initial term of one year and will automatically renew for subsequent one year terms unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal within 90 days of the end of any renewal term. The agreement may also be terminated without cause either by the mutual written agreement of both parties or by either party without cause upon 90 days prior written notice of termination to the other party. Either party may immediately terminate the agreement by providing written notice of (a) the other party’s material breach of any provision of the agreement and failure to cure within 30 days, or (b) if the other party becomes bankrupt or insolvent.

Agreement with MiTAC International and Sun Microsystems. In August 1999, MiTAC International entered into a general agreement with Sun Microsystems. This agreement does not constitute a contract or obligation by Sun Microsystems to purchase products or services. In February 2002, the agreement was amended to include us as a supplier under the agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, the terms for the manufacture and purchase of each particular product awarded by Sun Microsystems are individually negotiated and if agreed upon by the parties, such terms are included in a product award letter. There is no minimum level of commitment required by any of the parties under the agreement. We negotiate manufacturing and pricing terms, including allocating customer revenue based on manufacturing services that each party provides, on a project-by-project

basis with MiTAC International and Sun Microsystems for a given project. In the past, these negotiations with MiTAC International were not conducted on an arms’-length basis. In fiscal year 2003, we purchased approximately $212.7 million of products from MiTAC International under this agreement. All of our contract assembly services to Sun Microsystems are covered by the general agreement. The agreement continues indefinitely until terminated in accordance with its terms. Sun Microsystems may terminate this agreement for any reason on 60 days written notice. Any party may terminate the agreement with written notice if one of the other parties materially breaches any provision of the agreement and the breach is incapable of being cured or is not cured within 30 days. The agreement may also be terminated on written notice if one of the other parties becomes bankrupt or insolvent.

Registration Rights Agreement. We have entered into a registration rights agreement with certain holders of our common stock, including the MiTAC International affiliated entities. The holders of an aggregate of 19,743,735 shares of our common stock will be entitled to registration rights with respect to their shares. Any group of holders of at least 30% of the securities with registration rights can require us to register all or part of their shares at any time following six months after our initial public offering, so long as the thresholds in the registration rights agreement are met with respect to the amount of securities to be sold. After we have completed two such registrations subject to certain exceptions, we are no longer subject to these demand rights. In addition, holders of securities with registration rights may also require us to include their shares in future registration statements we file, subject to cutback at the option of the underwriters of any such offering. Subject to our eligibility to do so, holders of registrable securities may also require us to register their shares with the SEC on Form S-3 if total proceeds are at least $500,000 and if we have not completed two such registrations in any 12-month period. Upon any of these registrations, these shares will be freely tradable in the public market without restriction.

Sales of Securities. In November 2003, we, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Sennex Enterprises Limited, acquired all of the outstanding shares of Mitac Computers (ShenZhen) Ltd. from Mitac Pacific (H.K.) Ltd., a company controlled by our largest indirect stockholder, MiTAC International, for $1. We acquired Mitac Computers (ShenZhen) Ltd. as part of our effort to consolidate international shipments to enable more efficient supply chain management.

Additional Compensation for Mr. Miau. In fiscal year 2003, Matthew Miau, our Chairman of the Board, received discretionary bonus payments and salary payments totaling $550,000 and options to purchase an aggregate of 150,000 shares of our common stock in connection with his performance of duties as Chairman, and his services as a non-executive employee. For fiscal year 2004, the Compensation Committee has recommended and the Board of Directors has approved a $225,000 retainer and a 50,000 share option grant for Mr. Miau. Mr. Miau’s fiscal year 2004 compensation is based primarily upon his non-executive back-up role to Mr. Huang in the event Mr. Huang were unable to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer and certain time commitments devoted to SYNNEX as Chairman of SYNNEX. Any future compensation payable to Mr. Miau will be based upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee and subject to the approval of the Board of Directors.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. We are from time to time involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including the following:

On May 1, 2002, Seanix Technology Inc. filed a trademark infringement action in the Federal Court of Canada against us and our wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, SYNNEX Canada Limited. The suit claims that we have infringed on Seanix’s exclusive rights to its Canadian Trademark Registration and caused confusion between the two companies resulting from, among other things, our use of marks confusingly similar to the Seanix trademarks. The complaint seeks injunctive relief and monetary damages in an amount to be determined. Limited discovery has taken place and no trial date has been set.

On May 7, 2002, Acropolis Systems, Inc. and Tony Yeh filed a civil suit in Santa Clara County California Superior Court against us, Robert Huang, Kevin Chuang and Stephen R. Bowling. The suit alleges violation of California securities laws, fraud and concealment and breach of contract resulting from, among other things, our alleged failure to disclose the existence of a lien in favor of us on the assets of eManage.com prior to entering into stock purchase agreements for shares of eManage.com stock. At the time of this stock purchase, we were the majority shareholder of eManage.com. The complaint seeks monetary damages in the amount of approximately $2,000,000. Limited discovery has taken place and no trial date has been set.

In addition, we are involved in various bankruptcy preference actions where we were a supplier to the companies now in bankruptcy. For example, on March 14, 2002, the trustees of the bankruptcy estate of Inacom Corp. filed a bankruptcy preference action in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware against us. On April 10, 2002, the trustees of the bankruptcy estate of MicroAge, Inc. filed a bankruptcy preference action in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona against us. On February 21, 2003, the trustees of the bankruptcy estate of US Office Products Company filed a bankruptcy preference action in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware against us. On March 31, 2003, the trustees of the bankruptcy estate of Infinite Technology Group Ltd. filed a bankruptcy preference action in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York against us. On November 2, 2003, the trustees of the bankruptcy estate of Harvard Manufacturing—Texas LLC filed a bankruptcy preference action in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas against us. These preference actions are filed by the trustee of the bankruptcy estate on behalf of the bankrupt entity’s debtors and generally seek to have payments made by the bankrupt entity within 90 days prior to the bankruptcy returned to the bankruptcy estate for allocation among all of the bankrupt entity’s creditors. The amounts sought to be returned in the various preference actions range from $7,000 to $700,000. In the majority of the actions, limited discovery has taken place and some trial dates have been set.

We believe that the outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on us. We may not be successful in defending these or other claims. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can result in substantial expense and could divert the efforts of our management.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Philosophy and Practice

The Compensation Committee has overall responsibility for SYNNEX’s executive compensation policies as provided in a written charter adopted by your Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee has provided the following report on the compensation policies of SYNNEX as they apply to the executive officers, including the President and Chief Executive Officer, and the relationship of SYNNEX’s performance to executive compensation.

Overview of Compensation Policies

SYNNEX’s compensation policies are designed to address a number of objectives, including attracting and retaining high quality executive officers, rewarding individual contribution, loyalty, teamwork and integrity, and motivating executive officers to achieve significant returns for our stockholders. To promote these policies, the Compensation Committee historically has employed a compensation program that consists of the following principal elements:

•

base salary;

•

profit sharing program;

•

stock options;

•

deferred compensation plan; and

•

benefits.

The first three elements, base salary, profit sharing program, and stock options, are administered primarily in three cycles to provide year-long incentives. Merit raises for base salaries are generally performed in the April-May period. Stock option grants are generally awarded in the August-September period. Profit sharing program bonuses are generally paid in the December-January period.

When establishing salaries, profit sharing program bonuses and stock option grants for each of the executive officers, the Compensation Committee considers the recommendations of the President and Chief Executive Officer, the officer’s role, responsibilities and performance during the past year, and the amount of compensation paid to executive officers in similar positions at comparable companies. While base salaries may be low in relation to comparable companies, there is a high variable with respect to the compensation pursuant to the profit sharing program and stock options. To assist in this process, the Compensation Committee reviews data from independent compensation consultants concerning the compensation paid to officers at comparable companies. The Compensation Committee generally sets the compensation of the executive officers at levels that are competitive with SYNNEX’s competitors. When setting the compensation of each of the executive officers, the Compensation Committee considers all of the factors set forth above, but does not assign any specific weighting or apply any formula to these factors. The Compensation Committee does, however, give significant consideration to the recommendations of the President and Chief Executive Officer.

SYNNEX generally applies its compensation philosophy worldwide, in accordance with local law.

Fiscal Year 2003 Executive Officer Compensation

The components of executive officer compensation are described below.

Base Salary. Base salaries for SYNNEX’s executive officers are reviewed and adjusted on an annual basis. In determining compensation for SYNNEX’s executive officers for fiscal year 2003, the Compensation Committee considered a number of factors. In the case of all executive officers of SYNNEX, determination of

base salary was based on a number of criteria, including the individual officer’s performance level during the prior year, the officer’s base compensation level during the prior year, individual achievements of that officer and base salary paid to officers in comparable positions at companies in SYNNEX’s industry and of comparable size. Determination of base salary is not made in accordance with a strict formula which measures weighted qualitative and quantitative factors, but rather is based on objective data synthesized to competitive ranges following statistical analysis and subjective policies and practices, including an overall review of the foregoing factors, all of which are considered when making the determination of base salary.

Profit Sharing Program. SYNNEX has a profit sharing program under which we have historically accrued 15% of SYNNEX pre-tax, before profit sharing accrual, profits for bonus allocation purposes. Under this profit sharing program, bonuses granted to officers at the Senior Vice President level and above are determined by our Compensation Committee. For fiscal year 2004, the Compensation Committee has recommended and the Board of Directors has approved an accrual of 13.75% of the same profit sharing program formula. Bonus allocations to all other employees are granted at our discretion. Bonus amounts paid to employees through the profit sharing program are not based on quantitative goals. Payments are based primarily on rewarding employees for individual contribution. There are no goal amounts within the profit sharing program as payments are based on the recommendations of managers, and of the Compensation Committee for senior executives, as a result of their assessment of these factors for the year.

Stock Options. The Compensation Committee’s determination with respect to stock option grants to executive officers for fiscal year 2003 was based on the principal following elements:

•

job responsibilities and past performance;

•

future anticipated contributions;

•

potential reward to the executive officer if the stock price appreciates in the public market;

•

management tier classification;

•

stock option grants made by competitors;

•

corporate performance; and

•

existing stock and unvested option holdings.

Determination of stock option grant amounts is not made in accordance with a strict formula which measures weighted qualitative and quantitative factors, but rather is based on objective data synthesized to competitive ranges following statistical analysis and subjective policies and practices, including an overall review of both individual and corporate performance and the value of stock option grants of comparable officers at comparable companies.

Option grants may also be made to new executive officers upon commencement of employment and, on occasion, to executive officers in connection with a significant change in job responsibility. The Compensation Committee believes these stock option grants will more closely align the long-term interests of senior management with those of stockholders and assist in the retention of key executives.

Deferred Compensation Plan. Our deferred compensation plan became effective on January 1, 1994. The deferred compensation plan is designed to permit designated employees to accumulate additional income for retirement and other personal financial goals through a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that enables the officer or director to make elective deferrals of compensation to which he or she will become entitled in the future.

Benefits. SYNNEX provides various employee benefit programs to its executive officers, including medical, dental and life insurance benefits and 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan. Except for an allowance for personal use of SYNNEX transportation and some non-material perquisites provided to executive officers, these benefit

programs are generally available to all employees of SYNNEX. SYNNEX also provides U.S. employees with the opportunity to purchase our common stock through payroll deductions at a discounted price through SYNNEX’s 2003 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. However, directors, executive officers and officers at the Senior Vice President level and above are not eligible to participate in SYNNEX’s 2003 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Tax Deductibility Considerations

It is SYNNEX’s policy generally to qualify compensation paid to executive officers for deductibility under section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 162(m) generally prohibits SYNNEX from deducting the compensation of executive officers that exceeds $1,000,000 unless that compensation is based on the satisfaction of objective performance goals. SYNNEX’s 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, 2003 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, 1997 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan, Special Executive Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan, and 1993 Stock Option Plan are structured to permit awards under such plans to qualify as performance-based compensation and to maximize the tax deductibility of such awards. However, SYNNEX reserves the discretion to pay compensation to its executive officers that may not be deductible.

Compensation of President and Chief Executive Officer

Pursuant to the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, Mr. Huang received an annual base salary in the amount of $400,000 and a profit sharing program bonus of $1,100,000 for fiscal year 2003. The Compensation Committee determined Mr. Huang’s compensation pursuant to objective data synthesized to competitive ranges following statistical analysis and subjective policies and practices, including assessment of his achievements, and a review of compensation paid to presidents and chief executive officers of comparable companies. On August 19, 2003, Mr. Huang was granted an additional 150,000 options to purchase common stock of SYNNEX based on his anticipated contributions to SYNNEX. These stock options were granted under SYNNEX’s Special Executive Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan, have a 10-year term, vest over five years at a rate of 20% upon the first anniversary of their vesting start dates and then at a rate of 1/60th per month thereafter and have an exercise price equal to market value on the date of grant.

Conclusion

All aspects of SYNNEX’s executive compensation are subject to change at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee will monitor SYNNEX’s executive compensation on an ongoing basis to ensure that it continues to support a performance-oriented environment and remains properly integrated with SYNNEX’s annual and long-term strategic objectives.

Respectfully submitted on February 17, 2004, by the members of the Compensation Committee of your Board:

Mr. Young Sohn, Chairman

Mr. David Rynne

Mr. Dwight Steffensen

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Your Board has endorsed this appointment. Ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP by stockholders is not required by law. However, as a matter of good corporate practice, such selection is being submitted to the stockholders for ratification at the Annual Meeting. If the stockholders do not ratify the selection, the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, but may retain PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. Even if the selection is ratified, the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee in their discretion may change the appointment at any time during the year if they determine that such change would be in the best interests of SYNNEX and its stockholders. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP previously audited our consolidated financial statements during the two fiscal years ended November 30, 2003. Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement, if they desire to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Audit and Non-Audit Fees

Aggregate fees for professional services rendered for us by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for the years ended November 30, 2003 and 2002, were as follows:


Services Provided	2003		2002
Audit	$	1,359,000	$	1,282,000

Audit Fees.

All Other Fees. There were no other fees billed for the years ended November 30, 2003 and 2002.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee has implemented pre-approval policies and procedures related to the provision of audit and non-audit services. Under these procedures, the Audit Committee pre-approves both the type of services to be provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and the estimated fees related to these services.

During the approval process, the Audit Committee considers the impact of the types of services and the related fees on the independence of the auditor. The services and fees must be deemed compatible with the maintenance of the auditor’s independence, including compliance with SEC rules and regulations.

Throughout the year, the Audit Committee will review any revisions to the estimates of audit and non-audit fees initially approved.

Required Vote

Ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present and voting at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy. Unless marked to the contrary, proxies received will be voted “FOR” ratification of the appointment. In the event ratification is not obtained, your Board will review its future selection of our independent auditors.

Your Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent auditors.

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

PURPOSE

The purpose of the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company is to:

1. assist Board oversight of (a) the integrity of the Company’s financial statements, (b) the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (c) the independent auditor’s qualifications and independence, and (d) the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and independent auditors;

2. prepare the report that Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules require be included in the Company’s annual proxy statement; and

3. perform such other duties and responsibilities enumerated in and consistent with this Charter.

The Committee’s function is one of oversight, recognizing that the Company’s management is responsible for preparing the Company’s financial statements, and the independent auditor is responsible for auditing those statements. In adopting this Charter, the Board of Directors acknowledges that the Committee members are not employees of the Company and are not providing any expert or special assurance as to the Company’s financial statements or any professional certification as to the external auditor’s work or auditing standards. Each member of the Committee shall be entitled to rely on the integrity of those persons and organizations within and outside the Company that provide information to the Committee and the accuracy and completeness of the financial and other information provided to the Committee by such persons or organizations absent actual knowledge to the contrary.

MEMBERSHIP AND PROCEDURES

The Audit Committee shall have the sole authority to appoint or replace the independent auditor. The Audit Committee shall be directly responsible for the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work. The independent auditor shall report directly to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee shall report regularly to the Board.

Membership and Appointment

The Committee shall comprise not fewer than three members of the Board of Directors, as shall be appointed from time to time by the Board of Directors based on recommendations, if any, from the Nominating and Governance Committee.

Chairperson

A chairperson of the Committee (the “Chairperson”) may be designated by the Board of Directors. In the absence of such designation, the members of the Committee may designate the Chairperson by majority vote of the full Committee membership. The Chairperson shall determine the agenda, the frequency and the length of meetings.

Independence and Qualifications

Each member shall either meet the categorical standards for “independence” established by the Board of Directors or the Board of Directors shall affirmatively determine that such Director qualifies as independent

Each member of the Committee shall also meet any additional independence or experience requirements as may be established from time to time by the NYSE or SEC. Each member of the Committee shall be or shall become within a reasonable period of time, financially literate. One member of the Committee shall have accounting or financial management expertise.

Any such subcommittee to the extent provided in the resolutions of the Committee, and to the extent not limited by applicable law or listing standard, shall have the power and authority of the Committee to grant preapprovals of auditing and permitted non-audit services by the independent auditor. Any decision of such a subcommittee shall be presented to the Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

Resources and Authority to Retain and Replace Advisers

The Committee shall have the power and authority, at the Company’s expense, to retain, replace and compensate independent counsel, accounting and other advisers, as it determines necessary to carry out its duties. The Committee shall have the sole authority to approve related fees and retention terms. The Committee may request any officer or the Company’s outside counsel or independent auditors to attend a meeting of the Committee or to meet with any members of, or consultants to, the Committee, and shall have full access to all books, records, facilities and personnel of the Company in connection with the discharge of its responsibilities.
