Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 27, 2011, Tech Data Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement, which replaces the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 20, 2007. The Credit Agreement, among other things, i) provides a $500.0 million revolving credit facility with a maturity date of September 27, 2016, ii) provides for an interest rate on borrowings, facility fees and letter of credit fees based on the Company’s non-credit-enhanced senior unsecured debt rating as determined by Standard & Poor’s Rating Service and Moody’s Investor Service, and iii) may be increased up to $750 million, subject to certain conditions. The Credit Agreement includes various covenants, limitations and events of default customary for similar facilities for similarly rated borrowers, including a maximum debt to capitalization ratio and minimum interest coverage. The interest rate on the Credit Agreement is based on LIBOR plus a predetermined margin that is based on the Company’s debt rating.

Bank of America, N.A. served as Administrative Agent with participation in the facility by: i) Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Incorporated, Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC as Joint Lead Arrangers, ii) Citibank N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Co-Syndication Agents and iii) Sun Trust Bank, The Bank of Nova Scotia, The Royal Bank of Scotland PLC, U.S. Bank National Association and Unicredit Bank AG as Co-Documentation Agents, and various other lenders.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms and conditions of the Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending October 31, 2011.
