Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 23, 2015, CDW Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Barclays Capital Inc. as the representative of the several underwriters listed on Schedule 1 thereto (the “Underwriters”) and the selling stockholders listed on Schedule 2 thereto (the “Selling Stockholders”) with respect to an underwritten offering of 8,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a public offering price of $44.05 per share, to be sold by the Selling Stockholders. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Selling Stockholders granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days, to purchase up to an additional 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Option Shares”) from them. The closing of the offering and delivery of the Shares took place on November 30, 2015. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares.

The offering is being made pursuant to (i) an effective Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 16, 2014 (File No. 333-199425), including a related base prospectus dated October 16, 2014, and (ii) a related prospectus supplement dated November 23, 2015 and filed with the SEC on November 25, 2015 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Following the completion of the offering, the Company repurchased from the Underwriters 1,000,000 shares of its Common Stock that were sold by the Selling Stockholders in the offering at a price per share equal to the price paid by the Underwriters to the Selling Stockholders in the offering. The repurchase was funded from cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s secured asset-based revolving credit facility.

The foregoing summary of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1, and incorporated by reference herein.
