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 Issuer’s 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 Company’s shareholders to vote for such director nominee at each shareholders meeting at which the Company’s 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 Company’s 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. The Securities Acquisition Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Board Nominee Agreement are incorporated herein by reference.

The beneficial ownership percentages in this report are based on a total of 144,677,455 shares outstanding, which includes 120,666,284 shares outstanding on April 29, 2005 (as reported by the Company in its 10-Q for the quarterly period ended April 2, 2005) plus 24,011,171 shares issued in connection with the Memec Acquisition.

Each of the PE2 Persons, the VF4 Persons and the SV Persons may be deemed to share voting power and the power to direct the disposition of the share of Common Stock which each owns of record. Accordingly, as of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to own beneficially an aggregate of 17,957,367 shares of Common Stock, or 12.4% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.
