Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On April 2, 2013, Tech Data Corporation (the "Company") received, as expected, a notice from the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Department stating that it is not in compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires timely filing of periodic reports with the SEC. The Company previously announced that it would delay the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "Form 10-K") for its fiscal year ended January 31, 2013 due to the Company's restatement of prior period financial statements.

Under the NASDAQ Listing Rules, the Company has 60 calendar days, or until June 3, 2013, to submit to NASDAQ a plan to regain compliance. If the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department accepts the plan, it may grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the Company's Form 10-K due date, or until September 30, 2013, for the Company to regain compliance. The Company intends to submit a plan to regain compliance as soon as possible. During this process, the Company expects that its common stock will continue to be listed and traded on The NASDAQ Stock Market.

A copy of the Company press release announcing the receipt of the NASDAQ notification letter is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Forward Looking Statements

The report includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws and regulations, including those regarding the Company's intent to restate its prior financial statements and to submit a plan of compliance to the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Department. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. There can be no assurance that the Company's management, Audit Committee or independent registered public accounting firm will not reach conclusions that are different from management's preliminary identification of issues in the pending restatement that may delay completion of the restatement and the Company's submission of a plan to regain compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rules. Forward-looking statements reflect management's analysis as of the filing date of this Notice, and the Company does not undertake to revise these statements to reflect subsequent developments.
