Item 5.07                      Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On June 28, 2010, Bell Microproducts Inc. (the “Company”) held a special meeting of shareholders to consider and vote on (1) a proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 28, 2010 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Avnet, Inc. (“Avnet”), a New York corporation, and AVT Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Avnet, and to approve the principal terms of the merger as contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and (2) a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later time or date, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there were insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to adopt the Merger Agreement and to approve the principal terms of the merger.

As of May 19, 2010, which was the record date for the special meeting, 32,458,031shares of the Company’s common stock were issued and outstanding.  A quorum was present at the special meeting.

The proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement was approved by the Company’s shareholders.  The results of the vote on this proposal were:

For	Against	Abstain
20,140,780	372,386	6,924

The proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later time if necessary or appropriate was approved by the Company’s shareholders.  The results of the vote on this proposal were:

For	Against	Abstain
19,998,567	327,051	194,472

Adjournment of the special meeting was not necessary or appropriate because there were sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to adopt the Merger Agreement and to approve the principal terms of the merger.
