Description of the Program

The Code of Ethics for Tech Data Corporation and its subsidiaries is the central feature of the Ethics and
Compliance Program. This program explains our fundamental values and shows our associates how to make
decisions based upon these values.
The goals of the program include:
- Informing associates of the company’s expectations for proper business conduct
- Providing instruction on relevant laws, regulations and policies affecting associates’ activities
- Implementing a process for addressing issues and questions involving appropriate business conduct
- Providing a confidential outlet for associates to report suspected violations of business conduct without
fear of retaliation
Ultimately the reputation and success of Tech Data depend
on the individual and collective integrity of its directors,
officers, associates and all parties who represent Tech Data
around the world. This Code is applicable to all associates
and any representative, agent or consultant acting on
behalf of Tech Data.
Our company is ever-changing and operates in a dynamic
industry. We cannot anticipate all issues. This Code does
not contain answers to every issue or question you may
encounter as part of your employment. It is a guide to help
you resolve ethical questions, to be read as consistent with
the laws and standards of the places in which we do business.
As an employee you have a responsibility to ask for
assistance when you have questions regarding your own
behavior or the behavior of others that appears to violate
this Code. In many respects good business ethics is just
good business sense.
Members of management have a special responsibility to
follow and support the standards of the Code in word and
action. Management is expected to practice an open-door
policy by being available to anyone with ethical concerns
or questions. The company maintains several confidential
communication avenues for raising questions or reporting
violations: the "Open Up" forms, "Ask The
CEO" on TDnet, the Director of Ethics and Compliance, and an
anonymous "Ethics Reporting
Hotline" that any employee
may call to report their concerns. Employees will not suffer
retaliation for raising good faith concerns, questions or
complaints.
The Code will be enforced in the same way at all levels
throughout the organization.
