Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
14,669,452 of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were acquired on July 5, 2005, as a result of the acquisition of all of the issued share capital and certain bonds of Memec Group Holdings Limited (Memec) by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Securities Acquisition Agreement, dated as of April 26, 2005 (the Securities Acquisition Agreement), by and among the Company, Memec and the sellers named therein. The remaining 3,287,915 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were acquired on July 21, 2005 when such shares were released from escrow pursuant to the terms of the Securities Acquisition Agreement.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
On July 5, 2005, pursuant to the Securities Acquisition Agreement, the Company acquired all of the issued share capital and certain bonds of Memec in exchange for approximately 24.011 million shares of the Issuers Common Stock plus approximately $64 million of cash (the Memec Acquisition).
In connection with the Memec Acquisition, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, dated as of July 5, 2005 (the Registration Rights Agreement), with certain shareholders and bondholders of Memec Group Holdings Limited who became shareholders of the Company (the Memec Shareholders). The Registration Rights Agreement grants certain registration rights with respect to the shares of the Common Stock issued to the Memec Shareholders. Specifically, the Company has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to cause a shelf registration statement to become effective no later than the 181st day following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Acquisition Agreement to provide for certain resales of the shares of Common Stock issued to the Memec Shareholders pursuant to such Securities Acquisition Agreement. In addition, the Company has agreed to provide additional registration rights, in the form of underwritten offerings and/or registered block trades, to the Memec Shareholders, which may be demanded by certain specified Memec Shareholders, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Registration Rights Agreement.
Also in connection with the Memec Acquisition, the Board of Directors of the Company (the Board) appointed Peter Smitham as a member of the Board. Pursuant to the Securities Acquisition Agreement, the Company entered into a board nominee agreement (the Board Nominee Agreement) with PE2 Nominees, VF4 Nominees, and SV Nominees (collectively, the Permira Shareholders) whereby the Company agreed, among other things and for as long as the Board Nominee Agreement is in effect, to nominate Mr. Smitham for the position of director of the Company and to recommend to the Companys shareholders to vote for such director nominee at each shareholders meeting at which the Companys directors are to be elected. The Board Nominee Agreement terminates at such time as the Permira Shareholders no longer own the lesser of (i) 5% of the outstanding shares of the Companys capital stock and (ii) 25% of the Company shares issued pursuant to the Securities Acquisition Agreement.
The foregoing response to this Item 4 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Securities Acquisition Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 1 to this Schedule 13D, the Registration Rights Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2 to this Schedule 13D and the Board Nominee Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 3 to this Schedule 13D.
