finding any violation of federal or state securities laws or enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

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.

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.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) and (b)

As of the date hereof, PE2 Nominees, VF4 Nominees and SV Nominees own of record 13,196,107 shares of Common Stock, 958,515 shares of Common Stock, and 514,830 shares of Common Stock, respectively, or 9.1%, 0.7% and 0.4% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares held in escrow pursuant to the terms of the Securities Acquisition Agreement). 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. The shares held of record by PE2 Nominees include (i) 13,068,766 shares held on behalf of the four limited partnerships that comprise the Permira Europe Fund II, and (ii) 127,341 shares held on behalf of the Permira Europe II Co-Investment Scheme. The shares held of record by VF4 Nominees include (i) 950,442 shares held on behalf of one trust and two limited partnerships that comprise the Permira UK Venture Fund IV, and (ii) 8,073 shares held on behalf of the Schroder UK Venture Fund IV Co-Investment Scheme.

 

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 14,669,452 shares of Common Stock, or 10.1% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

(c) Except as set forth herein, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons with respect to the persons named in response to paragraph (a), none of the persons named in response to paragraph (a) has effected any transactions in shares of Common Stock during the past 60 days.

(d) No person other than the persons listed is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any securities owned by any member of the group.
