We are a Fortune 200 corporation and a leading business process services company, providing a comprehensive range of distribution, logistics and integration services for the technology industry and providing outsourced services focused on customer experience to a broad range of enterprises. We are organized to provide our products and services through two reportable business segments: Technology Solutions and Concentrix. Our Technology Solutions segment distributes peripherals, information technology ("IT") systems including data center server and storage solutions, system components, software, networking, communications and security equipment, consumer electronics ("CE") and complementary products. Within our Technology Solutions segment, we also provide systems design and integration solutions. Our Concentrix segment offers a portfolio of technology-infused strategic solutions and end-to-end business services focused on customer experience, process optimization, technology innovation, front and back-office automation and business transformation to clients in eight identified industry verticals. On January 9, 2020, we announced a plan to separate our Concentrix segment into an independent publicly-traded company, in a transaction expected to be completed in the second half of 2020. The separation is intended to qualify as a tax-free transaction for federal income tax purposes for both us and our current stockholders. Immediately following the separation, our stockholders would own shares of both SYNNEX and Concentrix, each at the same percentage ownership that they held of us prior to the transaction. Completion of the separation will not require a stockholder vote but will be subject to customary closing conditions, including final approval of our Board of Directors, the receipt of a favorable opinion with respect to the tax-free nature of the transaction, and the effectiveness of a Form 10 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In our Technology Solutions segment, we distribute more than 40,000 technology products (as measured by active SKUs) from more than 400 IT, CE and original equipment manufacturers ("OEM"), suppliers to more than 25,000 resellers, system integrators, and retailers throughout the United States, Canada, Japan, Mexico and Central and South America. We purchase peripherals, IT systems, system components, software, networking, communications and security equipment, CE and complementary products from our suppliers and sell them to our reseller and retail customers. We perform a similar function for our distribution of licensed software products. Our reseller customers include value-added resellers ("VARs"), corporate resellers, government resellers, system integrators, direct marketers, and national and regional retailers. We combine our core strengths in distribution with demand generation, supply chain management and design and integration solutions to help our customers achieve greater efficiencies in time to market, cost minimization, real-time linkages in the supply chain and aftermarket product support. We also provide comprehensive IT solutions in key vertical markets such as government and healthcare and we provide specialized service offerings that increase efficiencies in the areas of print management, renewals, logistics services and supply chain management. Additionally, we provide our customers with systems design and integration solutions for data center servers and networking solutions built specific to our customers' workloads and data center environments.
